Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

"Mmm~ That feels so good~"

That night, Li Zhixuan finally belonged to Quan Baolan. They snuggled into bed and hugged each other; Quan Baolan felt most comfortable and happiest at that moment.

Jeon Boram is a little shorter than Kim Tae-yeon, quite petite. But in terms of figure, she's much better than Kim Tae-yeon. She's so soft and fragrant in my arms, Lee Chi-hsuan finds her quite comfortable.

It was still early, just past nine o'clock, so the two of them couldn't fall asleep right away even though they were snuggled in bed, so they started chatting.

As they chatted, Li Zhixuan suddenly remembered something, then touched her belly and asked curiously, "Baolan, why don't you have any symptoms during your pregnancy? Don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

The three pregnant women who were pregnant before all experienced symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, low blood sugar, and fatigue when they were one month pregnant. But now, Quan Baolan looks no different from when she was not pregnant.

When asked about her man's doubts, Jeon Boram explained somewhat shyly, "Actually, there are some."

"What's wrong with you?"

Jeon Boram glanced down and explained softly, "It feels a bit swollen, and it seems to hurt a little, but it doesn't really hurt. Anyway, it's just a bit uncomfortable."

"This is normal. Yoona and the others have all gone through this. Applying a hot towel will relieve the pain. Wait here, I'll get it done."

As he spoke, Li Zhixuan was about to get up to get a hot towel.

Seeing this, Jeon Boram quickly grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "I asked the doctor, and he said gentle massage is fine, but it feels weird when I massage myself. Can you help me?"

"Isn't this...not good?"

What Quan Baolan knew, how could Li Zhixuan not know? But he also knew that he had relatively low self-control when it came to women and was prone to losing control, so he thought of refusing.

In response, Jeon Boram reached out and pinched Lee Chi-hyun's chin, then raised her eyebrows and said in a fierce tone, "Little brother, are you pretending to be innocent with your older sister?"

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan immediately put on a well-behaved expression, shook his head and said, "No, I am truly innocent."

"You've already gotten a child out of you, and you still call yourself innocent? You're just a total scumbag, aren't you?"

"I'm afraid it will hurt the child."

"It's not that serious! Just be careful, it'll be alright. Hurry up!"

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be that fragile, but what if she is? Li Zhixuan wouldn't risk his child. So he pretended to agree to Quan Baolan's request, and then started chatting with her while massaging her.

Do your parents and sister know you're pregnant?

"Of course I don't know. How could I dare to tell them something like this on my own? I would definitely have to discuss it with you first."

"Then let's do it the same way. I'll go home with you after you're three months pregnant."

"Uh-huh."

When Lee Chi-hsuan brought up the matter of going home with her to meet her parents, Jeon Bo-ram was happy but also a little sad, though she didn't show it.

Unaware of anything amiss, Li Zhixuan continued, "There are only two days left until the New Year. Are you coming home with me, or going back to your own home?"

Jeon Boram was taken aback, then forced a smile and explained, "My parents have been divorced for many years and have each started new families. My mother even went to the United States. I don't have a home anymore. I used to spend Chinese New Year with my sister."

That's why she felt sad just now. Unlike Yoona and the others, if Yoona and the others didn't tell their parents about their pregnancies, they would eventually find out.

But if she doesn't tell her parents she's pregnant, they most likely won't know.

Li Zhixuan was an orphan in his past life, so he was quite sensitive to the topic of "family." When he heard Quan Baolan say that she didn't have a family at all, he felt a pang of heartache and quickly hugged her to comfort her. Then he said, "Let's call Yulan over, and we'll celebrate the New Year together."

“Uh…” Jeon Boram did not agree, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly explained, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your sister."

"no."

Seeing that Li Zhixuan had misunderstood, Quan Baolan shook her head repeatedly: "I'm not worried about that, I'm afraid they'll overthink it."

"Who's overthinking it? Most of them were going home to celebrate the New Year with their families that night. Apart from the four of you pregnant women, the only ones left were Krystal, Tiffany, Taeyeon, and Yulan. It's not a big problem."

Li Zhixuan has a lot of women, but only the families of Lin Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, the Jung sisters, and Kim Tae-yeon know that their daughters are with him.

So the few of them could stay and spend the New Year with Li Zhixuan, while everyone else had to go back to their own homes to spend the New Year with their fathers and families.

Huang Meiying doesn't go home for the Lunar New Year because her family is in the United States and her family is quite Westernized and doesn't care much for the Spring Festival.

In this way, when the Chinese New Year comes in a couple of days, only a few members of their family will be left to celebrate the New Year with Li Zhixuan.

With the addition of the Jeon Boram sisters, the house became even more lively and better.

Hearing this, Jeon Boram was delighted and immediately said, "Then I'll find some time to talk to Yuran in the next couple of days."

"Ah."

When Jeon Boram was happy, she wanted to be even more affectionate with Lee Chi-hsuan, so she tried every means to seduce the scumbag.

In the end, the scumbag couldn't resist the temptation. Jeon Bo-ram was also afraid of hurting the child and didn't dare to go too far. So she had no choice but to give up.

"I'm hungry."

Since that's out of the question, let's find something else to do.

Hungry? That's easy!
"What to eat?"

"Hmm..." Jeon Boram stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then gave an answer: "I want to eat spicy chicken."

Spicy?

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan cupped Quan Baolan's face, gave her a quick kiss, and laughed, "Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl, you've given me a precious daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Jeon Boram's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Then I'll just eat the sour kind."

"Hey! Why are you still biased towards boys?"

Jeon Boram pouted and said, "For your family, it's definitely better to have a boy than a girl."

"I don't care, it's all the same. Boys are always more mischievous, it's better to have both boys and girls."

With so many women in Li Zhixuan's family, he'll surely have many children in the future. In such a large family, the heir will definitely be chosen from among the boys.

Therefore, Jeon Boram felt that if she gave birth to a boy, he might not be able to inherit the Lee family business, but at least he would receive a better upbringing.

If a girl is born, will the Li family still raise her well? Will she be used for marriage alliances in the future?
It's not fair to say that Jeon Boram's concerns are unfounded, but the one she's worried about isn't something that Im Yoona and the other two would worry about.

To put it bluntly, Jeon Boram and Lee Chi-hin haven't spent enough time together, and she doesn't understand Lee Chi-hin well enough, which is why she's worrying unnecessarily.

Seeing that Li Zhixuan did not discriminate against girls, Quan Baolan felt a little relieved and then said, "Then let's make it spicy, but not too spicy, otherwise I'm worried that the baby won't be able to handle it."

"Okay! Wait here, I'll go make you something to eat."

"I'll go with you."

"Alright."

The two then left the bedroom to go downstairs. But as soon as they stepped outside, Li Zhixuan sensed something was wrong.

The main building where they lived had three floors above ground, and the living room had a double-height ceiling. So, they could see the light shining from the living room from the hallway.

Normally, they would all be back in their rooms resting, and the lights in the living room would definitely be off, but some motion-activated nightlights would still be on. They would turn on when someone was there and turn off when no one was there.

Now Li Zhixuan and Quan Baolan noticed that there was light in the living room, but it wasn't very bright; it was obviously a nightlight.

Who's in the living room?
Li Zhixuan turned his head to signal Quan Baolan to be quiet, then took her hand and carefully walked up the stairs to the living room.

Although it was a quiet night, they didn't disturb the people downstairs because they spoke very softly.

When Li Zhixuan and his companion arrived in the living room, they discovered that the living room nightlight was off; the nightlight in the kitchen was on instead.

Upon closer inspection, Li Zhixuan and his companion saw that the refrigerator door in the kitchen was open, and a slender woman was standing in front of the refrigerator, busy with something.

Li Zhixuan didn't dare to go over and look, because he was worried that he would scare the other person.

then what should we do?

After a moment's hesitation, Li Zhixuan turned on the main light in the living room.

With a snap, Lim Yoona, who was standing in front of the refrigerator, was startled, even though Li Zhixuan had tried his best not to frighten her.

Immediately afterwards, Lim Yoona quickly put the things she was holding back in the refrigerator, closed the refrigerator door, and turned to look at Li Zhixuan, who had already walked not far away from her.

∑(O_O;)
Im Yoona panicked instantly!
The next second, Li Zhixuan walked up to Lin Yoona with a bright smile: "Yoon-bo-a, what are you doing?"

"Uh...hehe~" Im Yoona looked guilty and quickly said, "Nothing, I couldn't sleep, so I came down for a walk. Weren't you with Boram unnie? Why are you downstairs again?"

“I was hungry, and he wanted to make me something to eat.”

Ok?
Upon hearing Jeon Boram's voice, Im Yoona was startled, then noticed Jeon Boram standing by the sofa. Her eyes lit up!
"Boram unnie! You came down too? Then hurry up and make something for Boram to eat, I'm going back to sleep. Goodnight!"

That clever little devil immediately found a chance to run away. She was about to leave when, unfortunately, Li Zhixuan wasn't so easily fooled.

Li Zhixuan grabbed Lin Yun'er's slender arm and said sternly, "Did I say you could leave?"

Seeing this, Lim Yoona also put on a stern face, pretending to be a little angry as she stared into the scumbag's eyes: "What? Can't I even go back to sleep? Do you want to sleep me to death?"

Are you expecting me to resort to shamelessness?

Li Zhixuan chuckled: "Yunbao'er, you should wipe your mouth clean before you talk to me."

"Uh..." Her pretty face flushed red, and Lim Yoona quickly wiped her mouth. Sure enough, there was something on the corner of her mouth. How embarrassing.

Li Zhixuan gave a slight tug, pulling Lin Yoona into his arms. Then, he put one arm around her shoulder and raised his other hand: "Slap!"

Im Yoona shuddered immediately after being slapped on the butt. It didn't actually hurt, but she was nervous.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan almost burst out laughing, then tried to pretend to be angry and said, "Eating ice cream, huh? It's so cold, and you're a pregnant woman eating ice cream? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Lim Yoona pouted, looking a little aggrieved, and explained, "It's over 20 degrees Celsius inside, so it's hot that I'm wearing short sleeves. How could I catch a cold?"

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan raised his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose as if punishing her: "Still trying to argue? Aren't you afraid that eating too much will cause your uterus to become cold and affect our two children?"

Yoona was still unconvinced and retorted in a low voice, "I only ate two bites just now, it's not that serious, is it?"

"I saw you take two bites. What if I hadn't seen you?"

Of course, you should eat the whole thing!
But Yoona only dared to think these words in her heart and didn't dare to say them out loud.

Speechless and resentful, she raised her chin, puffed out her cheeks, and glared angrily into the scumbag's eyes: "That's enough, if you keep yelling at me I'm going to get angry."

She's carrying twins, so Li Zhixuan definitely had to give in. But he still said, "You're not allowed to sneak any more food. It's too cold; what if you get diarrhea?"

"Okay, I promise it won't happen again."

Lin Yoona knew she was being greedy and that it was her fault. Seeing that Li Zhixuan wasn't being "fierce" with her anymore, she immediately hugged him and acted cute, then gave him a sweet kiss, and casually smeared the melted ice cream crumbs from her lips on the scumbag's face.

乛乛

Pipi Yun!

The scumbag wiped his face, looking at Pipi Yun with a helpless yet doting expression: "Baolan wants something spicy, what do you want to eat?"

"I want something sour and spicy." Yoona's taste remained unchanged.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bae Joo-hyun's voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Li Zhixuan!"

Li Zhixuan immediately walked out of the kitchen and looked up at Bae Joo-hyun upstairs: "Why are you awake too?"

"I can't sleep~" Bae Joo-hyun said with a pained expression, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan asked the maid next to Pei Zhuxuan to help her down.

After Bae Joo-hyun took the elevator to the first floor, Lee Chi-hyun hugged her and asked her why she had insomnia.

“I…” Bae Joo-hyun hesitated, unconsciously licking her lips with her tongue.

Is he craving it?
Li Zhixuan immediately asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"I don't want to eat anything, I..."

Bae Joo-hyun blushed and hesitated, as if there was something she was ashamed to say.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona asked curiously, "Do you want to eat chicken?"

"No, no!" Realizing she had been misunderstood, Bae Joo-hyun quickly waved her hand in denial, then lowered her head and whispered an explanation: "I... I want to drink beer."

"..."

It's common knowledge that pregnant women shouldn't drink alcohol, no wonder Bae Joo-hyun was embarrassed to say it.

Bae Joo-hyun knew she couldn't drink, but she just missed the taste so much that she couldn't sleep.

Although Li Zhixuan remained silent, he didn't blame Bae Joo-hyun. After all, Bae Joo-hyun hadn't chosen to drink secretly like Lim Yoon-a.

Moreover, pregnant women's tastes are really unpredictable; even Jessica Jung ate cucumbers.

"Can't we drink something else?" Li Zhixuan cautiously discussed with Pei Zhuxuan.

Bae Joo-hyun shook her head, then nestled into Lee Chi-hyun's arms and whispered, "It's okay, I can bear it."

Seeing that Bae Joo-hyun wasn't feeling well, not only Lee Chi-hyun, but also Lim Yoon-ah and Jeon Bo-ram were getting anxious.

Suddenly, Yoona had an idea: "How about a non-alcoholic pineapple beer? It tastes like beer, but it doesn't have alcohol, so it's just a carbonated drink."

"oh?!"
