Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.

Su Xingbai's face turned visibly pale, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Only then did Patriarch Pei slowly speak, not mentioning the injuries, but instead asking Su Ningning,

"How long has it been since you last had your period?"

Su Ningning blinked upon hearing this, not quite understanding at first.

A thought suddenly exploded in Su Xingbai's mind.

He suddenly remembered that Ningning had indeed not had her period for more than three months.

Because Su Ningning has polycystic ovary syndrome and her menstrual cycle has always been irregular and unstable, she had previously consulted a doctor for treatment.

But Su Ningning disliked the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine and always secretly skipped taking it.

The treatment was thus delayed again and again.

Su Xingbai asked the doctor about the situation privately.

The doctor said it wasn't a serious illness, but the biggest problem was that it would be much harder for her to conceive in the future compared to other people.

Su Xingbai breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, he didn't really want children, so he thought this was fine.

So I stopped forcing her to take the medicine.

Now that Patriarch Pei has suddenly brought this up, could it be...?

Su Xingbai then recalled a casual remark the doctor had made at the time.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are very likely to conceive multiples once they get pregnant.

Su Xingbai: . . . . . .

The head of the Pei family didn't beat around the bush any longer and sighed helplessly.

"You've been far too careless. Young friend Su, you're already pregnant, and three months along."

She was three months pregnant, nearly ninety days along.

These words struck Su Xingbai like a thunderbolt.

Instantly, countless images flooded into Su Xingbai's mind.

During these three months, Su Ningning was running around in the mountains and forests, climbing trees to pick wild fruits, and wading through water to catch fish.

Participating in high-intensity competitions and engaging in fights with people everywhere, today he was even surrounded and attacked, suffering a severe blow and sustaining injuries!!

The thought of Su Ningning enduring so many dangers while pregnant...

Su Xingbai felt his blood rush to his head, his vision suddenly went black, and his body slumped backward.

Su Ningning's expression changed, and she quickly reached out to catch the person steadily, anxiously calling for the Pei family head to help take a look.

Patriarch Pei stepped forward to check Su Xingbai's breathing, and said with a wry smile,

"It's nothing, he was just too frightened and fainted because his blood rushed to his head. He'll wake up after resting for a while."

really,

Su Xingbai woke up shortly afterward.

His eyes were still somewhat dazed, and his mind was blank. It took him several seconds before his gaze slowly focused on Su Ningning's stomach.

The next second, her eyes welled up with tears.

Su Ningning looked both amused and exasperated.

"Xiaobai? Why are you crying again? Aren't you happy about having a baby?"

Su Xingbai sniffed, his voice hoarse.

"I... I'm really terrified when I think about it now."

"It's all my fault for not being careful enough. You're three months pregnant and I didn't even know."

Thinking about what she has done over the past three months,

Su Xingbai was terrified.

Su Ningning quickly and gently comforted him.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm in such good health, our baby will definitely be very healthy."

He's strong and muscular.

The head of the Pei family said the child was in good condition and had no problems at all.

Besides, it's better to find out later. Otherwise, you'd be on tenterhooks and anxious all day long, which would be exhausting.

As Su Xingbai listened to her words, his tense emotions finally began to calm down.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Su Ningning's flat stomach.

Immediately, the words the doctor had said popped into my mind.

He immediately felt terrible.

I prayed frantically in my heart,

Never have twins or triplets...

One is enough!

One baby is enough for him!

Once Su Ningning recovered, she immediately asked about the results of the wilderness survival competition.

Su Xingbai looked at her and spoke calmly.

"The Gu family took first place."

Su Ningning instantly raised her little face, looking smug, and said happily,

"I knew it! With me in charge, victory is guaranteed!"

I didn't even throw away my backpack when I retreated; that Di family disciple's backpack had tons of tokens.

"If the Gu family still doesn't get first place, then it would be an absolute injustice!"

Seeing her smug and carefree demeanor, Su Xingbai's anger, which she had just suppressed, flared up again.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? Safety first. Nothing in the world is as important as your safety."

What did you promise me back then?

Su Ningning instantly felt guilty, immediately toned down her arrogance, and snuggled up to him, acting softly and coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, honey, my good honey."

I will never take that risk again.

Normally, Su Xingbai would have been coaxed into submission by her long ago.

But Su Xingbai has really been frightened by this person these past two days.

He recalled the sweet words she had said to Pei Jing'an in the woods, such as "It's so good to have you."

He couldn't suppress the bitterness and grievances in his heart.

"Do you treat everyone like this?"

Sweet words flow effortlessly from their lips, making it easy for them to coax people?

Is it only because I've spent the most time with you, can cook, and can take care of you that you're willing to stay by my side?

If someone else treated you well and cooked you delicious food, would you treat them the same way?

Su Ningning froze on the spot, staring blankly at him.

She reached out and pinched his aggrieved face, saying with a wry smile.

"Xiao Bai, why are you suddenly saying such nonsensical things?"

Su Xingbai looked into her clear eyes and fell silent.

Su Ningning looked at his sullen expression.

She cupped his face carefully in her hands, her tone extremely serious.

"No, you're the one I love most in the whole world. Every sweet word I say to you, every time I act cute, it's from the bottom of my heart."

"When I'm polite to others or offer a few compliments, it's all just perfunctory; I just want to get some benefits out of it."

Su Xingbai's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at her and softly pressed for an answer:

"Really? Then what you said that day about praising Pei Jing'an, saying how delicious his cooking is, how great it is to have him, and that you wanted to keep him around forever—was that all a lie?"

Su Ningning explained confidently,

"That's just praising the chef's basic skills! A few more compliments will motivate him to cook well!"

"You have no idea how miserable I was during those five days. I ate half-cooked, burnt wild game every day. I almost became depressed from eating it."

I've finally found someone who can cook, so I definitely have to praise them a lot to encourage them to do even better.

That's just mutual flattery between chefs; it's nothing compared to genuine affection for you!

Pei Jing'an, standing at the door: "..."

I heard Su Ningning praise his cooking skills and say how great it is to have him.

He was deeply moved.

That's the result...

Su Ningning was afraid that Su Xingbai was still unhappy, so she continued to coax him earnestly.

"Besides, Xiao Pei's cooking skills are barely enough to fill an empty stomach; they're nowhere near as good as my husband's."

"You're not even as good as one of your little fingers."

Pei Jing'an at the door: ...

He clutched his chest, inwardly groaning.

In the end, he misplaced his trust!
