Chapter 435 Yu Mingche's Resentment
"Get up, everyone. Yan Fuzhen will stay to handle the aftermath. The rest of you go home now." After Ning Xuan finished speaking, everything went black before her eyes. She felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet.

She had just manipulated the vines into Lin Yang's mind. Although it took a short time, the unfamiliar brain region required her to concentrate intensely, which still greatly depleted her mental energy.

"Patriarch, what's wrong?" Yu Mingche was closest to Ning Xuan and noticed that something was wrong with her, so he hugged her tightly.

"It's nothing, just a bit dizzy from a lack of mental energy. Youlin, come here, come and hug me." Ning Xuan pushed Yu Mingche away and said to Di Youlin.

In Ning Xuan's opinion, Yu Mingche's body needs rest and special protection right now. He can't afford to bump or knock anything, and he definitely can't lift heavy objects.

For this reason, Ning Xuan only brought Di Youlin and Qinghe to the auction today. She originally didn't plan to tell Yu Mingche, because she didn't want him to worry. But the assassin incident still alarmed Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche was pushed away by Ning Xuan. He watched as Di Youlin happily picked up Ning Xuan and walked out first. He looked at his hands and frowned.

Since the marriage ceremony, or more accurately, since Ning Xuan learned that he was pregnant, Ning Xuan had automatically distanced herself from him. Although Ning Xuan had given him the position of master husband and always treated him with great respect in public and in private, she had never kissed or hugged him again, which made Yu Mingche very disappointed.

Yu Mingche didn't know what was wrong with him. After the assassin incident, he should have been focusing all his attention on defending against the enemy. Why was he so confused about this?
Yu Mingche was saddened by Ning Xuan's aloofness, and Qinghe, standing nearby, sensed it to some extent. However, given his status and position, he dared not interrupt about the matter between the two.

Back at the Qingluan Mountain villa, Ning Xuan convened a meeting in the conference room to review the day's events.

Qinghe and Di Youlin knelt down again to beg for forgiveness. Yan Fuzhen, as the organizer of this auction, was also very remorseful for allowing people from Wanxiang Xinghe to sneak in.

"Alright, the enemy is powerful, and it's inevitable that we might be caught off guard. Now is not the time to dwell on mistakes. Actually, you all did a good job today. Qinghe reacted quickly, promptly identified the assassin, and then worked with Di Youlin to subdue him. Although we didn't catch the mastermind, it's already quite good that the auction house didn't experience major chaos or negative news." Ning Xuan objectively praised Qinghe, Di Youlin, and Yan Fuzhen.

The group reviewed the day's events from beginning to end and made a summary. In fact, their cooperation today was excellent, and their actions were swift. They were able to quickly find and eliminate the undead warrior, and after the controller activated the destruction device, they escaped unscathed without causing any chaos or loss to the auction house. It was already quite an achievement to do so.

Moreover, if what Lin Yang said at the end is true, there might be unexpected gains if they encounter the immortal warriors of the Myriad Star River again in the future.

Qinghe's emotions were very complicated. It turned out that following different masters really made a difference. With his first master, even without any wrongdoing, he was often beaten and punished. Now, Ning Xuan was injured, but she was not angry. Instead, she analyzed the events with them on an equal footing and gave them high recognition for their actions.

"Thank you for your comfort, Patriarch. However, Lord Yu needs to rest and should not overexert himself. The situation is dangerous, and I believe we should inform the Marshal of this matter as soon as possible and ask him to think of a solution," Yan Fuzhen requested.

Since the Myriad Star River has sent its immortal warriors, other extraordinary forces like the Starry Sky Academy are bound to follow suit. Ning Xuan's current situation is indeed fraught with danger.

Yan Fuzhen's request caused everyone to subconsciously look at Yu Mingche, whose face was somewhat pale. "Patriarch, you concealed your whereabouts from me today, and I only found out after the incident. I cannot understand. As your contractor, don't you trust me?" Yu Mingche asked Ning Xuan with broken eyes.

"How could that be! Mingche, I just saw that you've been too stressed lately and didn't want you to worry too much." Ning Xuan gave a dry smile and quickly explained.

To be honest, she felt that Yu Mingche might be affected by his hormone levels. Recently, he not only had a lot of mood swings, but he was also particularly anxious, especially about her personal safety. This made Ning Xuan unconsciously want to avoid Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly, "If the head of the family regrets choosing me as his husband, he can change his mind at any time, and Mingche will have no complaints."

Yu Mingche knew that his personal combat strength and actual influence were far inferior to Ying Yaoshi's. If Ning Xuan hadn't made him her husband, those extraordinary forces wouldn't have dared to openly attack Ning Xuan because they were wary of Ying Yaoshi.

"How could that be, Mingche? Why would you think that? I have absolutely no intention of going back on my word," Ning Xuan quickly explained when she saw Yu Mingche's expression.

“If you still acknowledge me as your master, you shouldn’t treat me so coldly, and you shouldn’t hide your whereabouts from me, making me feel embarrassed,” Yu Mingche accused Ning Xuan, his body trembling slightly.

Yu Mingche's words were tinged with dissatisfaction and resentment. Ning Xuan frowned slightly as she looked at him, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly froze. Qinghe, Di Youlin, and Yan Fuzhen didn't dare to raise their heads, wishing they could hide themselves to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Under Ning Xuan's silent gaze, Yu Mingche got up from his seat and knelt down beside her.

Yu Mingche knelt down, and Di Youlin and the others quickly knelt down beside him as well.

Ning Xuan remained silent, leaving Yu Mingche and the others standing aside. She opened her personal terminal and began researching various issues related to artificial insemination, including gestation duration, required examinations, and precautions at each stage.

Ning Xuan had previously assumed that pregnant women should be calm and focused on their pregnancy, avoiding overexertion and anger, so she ignored Yu Mingche's repeated hints that he wanted her to stay overnight.

But she clearly didn't want to hurt him; she was only thinking of him. She had been very considerate and accommodating towards him during this time. Why did Yu Mingche feel that she was neglecting him?

After about ten minutes, Ning Xuan shut down her personal terminal, somewhat speechless. No wonder Yu Mingche had been so resentful lately and his emotions were becoming increasingly unstable. It turned out that the pregnancy precautions here were completely different from what she knew.

"Steward Yan, should we tell Commander Ying about what happened today? You can discuss it with Mingche tomorrow. Now, everyone except Yu Mingche, please leave," Ning Xuan finally said.
