The two eventually made their way to the bedroom, where Yu Le gently pressed Liu Xiaoli down onto the soft bed.

With a "click," the door was locked from the inside.

"A whole month! Do you know how I spent this past month?"

Liu Xiaoli groaned as he pressed her down, her body tensing instantly.

She reached out and pushed Yu Le's chest.

"Stop...stop fooling around."

"What's going on? This is a legal marital obligation!"

Yu Le didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that she was just shy after a long separation, or that she wanted to play hard to get.

He grabbed the hand that was pushing him away, kissed it, and with his other hand he was already expertly reaching to untie the ties of her silk nightgown.

"Don't move, let me charge for a bit..."

however.

Liu Xiaoli, however, firmly grasped his restless hand.

"No!"

His voice trembled slightly.

Yu Le was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Le dropped his playful grin, propped himself up, and looked at her.

Liu Xiaoli had her back to him, her shoulders twitching slightly.

A long time passed.

She turned around, her cheeks as red as ripe tomatoes, and even her ears were burning.

She bit her lower lip, her watery eyes darting away, not daring to look at Yu Le's face.

"that……"

Liu Xiaoli took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

She took Yu Le's large hand and slowly, carefully, placed it on her flat stomach.

The skin beneath my palms is warm and smooth.

There was nothing unusual.

Yu Le was completely bewildered.

What does this mean?

Are you stuffed?

Just as he was about to ask if it was indigestion.

Liu Xiaoli looked up at him.

"Got it."

Got it?

What happened?

Do you have some extra weight?

Yu Le's brain CPU instantly overloaded, emitting a buzzing sound of electricity.

He stared blankly at Liu Xiaoli, then looked down at his hands, and then back at Liu Xiaoli.

The word went through his mind eighteen times before he finally pieced together its meaning.

"Holy crap?"

Yu Le suddenly jumped up from the bed.

"You...you mean..."

Liu Xiaoli glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, pulled the blanket over her stomach, and hummed softly.

"Um."

"Two bars."

"Just found out."

boom--!

Yu Le felt as if a bolt of divine lightning from the heavens had struck him precisely on the top of his head.

He was stunned on the spot.

"I...I'm going to be a dad?"

Yu Le muttered to himself, his expression like that of a complete idiot.

"I don't want to be a father."

Looking at his foolish appearance, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes crinkling with a charming smile.

"He's going to be a dad again."

She pointed outside.

"Sissi is also your own daughter."

"You can't show favoritism!"

Seeing that Yu Le was still lost in thought, Liu Xiaoli called out again.

"Feed".

Liu Xiaoli stretched out her finger and waved it in front of his eyes.

Her beautiful face held a mixture of amusement, shyness, and a barely perceptible hint of nervousness.

"Are you stupid?"

Yu Le's soul returned to its place in a flash.

He snapped back to his senses, his gaze sharpening, his first reaction neither elation nor panic.

Instead, he instinctively reached out and gently pulled Liu Xiaoli into his arms.

"you……"

His voice was a little strained, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"Does it hurt? Is anything bothering you? Do you want to eat anything sour?"

A barrage of thoughtless questions, asked incoherently.

Liu Xiaoli was amused by his flustered appearance, and her initial nervousness and shyness instantly vanished.

She found a comfortable spot in his arms and poked his chest, which was as taut as a rock.

"Silly girl."

"Don't worry, it's probably only been a little over a month, there won't be any problems yet. She can eat and sleep well, and she can even help you with the accounts."

Yu Le finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath of that familiar fragrance, mixed with the shower gel and her unique body scent, which slowly calmed his still wildly beating heart.

"no."

Yu Le's voice was muffled.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to worry about company matters. Just stay home and rest. Let Yang Nuo handle the accounts for now, and I'll find a professional accountant later."

"no."

Liu Xiaoli refused without even thinking.

"I'm newly pregnant, I'm not that delicate. Besides, the company is just getting on track, and we need money everywhere, so the accounts can't be messed up. I know my own body, I'll be fine."

She raised her head, and her phoenix eyes, which always carried a hint of aloofness, were now filled with tenderness.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and I will also take good care of...our baby."

Yu Le looked at her, seeing the determination in her eyes, and knew that there was no room for negotiation.

"Then promise me you won't overwork yourself, and you must tell me immediately if you feel unwell."

"it is good."

Liu Xiaoli nodded obediently.

"You can't neglect your older sister just because you have a baby," Liu Xiaoli said again, pinching his cheek.

Yu Le smiled.

"Don't worry, they're all my precious children, I'll treat them all equally."

He lowered his head and kissed Liu Xiaoli's forehead.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger within him, and prepared to withdraw.

I guess I'll just have to make do with my good brother for now.

But as soon as he moved, Liu Xiaoli held him down.

Her eyes sparkled, and a charming smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Do you want... me to help you?"
