Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

Xu Zhixia immediately assumed the role of a doctor, placing her fingers on Su Qingxue's slender wrist.

The cave fell silent instantly, and after a while, she withdrew her hand.

Su Qingxue looked at her weakly, then at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't speak, but just looked at Xu Zhixia, waiting for her conclusion.

"The pulse... has stabilized."

"The contradictory pulse pattern of being both weak and excited has disappeared; now it is a standard slippery pulse."

She paused, seemingly considering her words, before finally giving the most direct conclusion.

"It's now confirmed that Qingxue is pregnant."

This time, it's not speculation, it's a certainty.

Su Qingxue's mind went completely blank for a moment.

I'm pregnant...

She, Su Qingxue, is pregnant.

Su Qingxue, who was hailed as a favored daughter of heaven since childhood and was pursued by countless business tycoons and wealthy young men, whom they couldn't even be bothered to look at.

Su Qingxue, who had never even been in a serious relationship and even thought that men would only hinder her from making money.

She's pregnant?

On this secluded, deserted island, she became pregnant with... an intern's child.

This was simply the most absurd, bizarre, and laughable joke she had ever heard in her more than twenty years of life.

But the weakness in her body and the faint feeling of heaviness in her abdomen constantly reminded her that this was not a dream.

Song Ya glanced at Su Qingxue, whose face was ashen, and then at Lin Fan, who remained silent to the side. For a moment, she didn't know whether to congratulate him or something else.

"If she's confirmed to be pregnant, why is she so weak, and even suddenly fainted?"

"It's very simple: malnutrition, coupled with extreme mental stress."

"In early pregnancy, the fetus needs a lot of nutrients to develop, but the mother's own energy supply cannot keep up. Especially in our current environment, the food we can eat every day is very limited, and the limited energy is absorbed by the fetus first."

"This leads to a rapid decline in the mother's own functions; drowsiness, fatigue, and dizziness are all warning signs from the body."

Xu Zhixia looked at Su Qingxue.

"Her fainting this time was a forced shock after her body's energy was completely drained. If she doesn't get enough nutrition, the next time it might not be as simple as just fainting."

Lin Fan fell silent.

To put it bluntly, the food was terrible.

If you eat for two people, your body naturally can't handle it.

"I...I'll go cook some porridge for President Su." Song Ya realized what was happening and quickly turned around to get to work.

Soon, a faint aroma of rice filled the cave.

Song Ya carried a bowl of warm meat porridge and carefully walked to Su Qingxue's side. She scooped up a spoonful with a wooden spoon and blew on it.

"President Su, please have something to eat first."

Su Qingxue didn't react much. She just stared blankly at the rock wall above her, as if her soul had been taken away.

Lin Fan stood up.

"Zhou Kai, take Dr. Xu and the others out and collect some more firewood."

Zhou Kai nodded. "Okay, Brother Fan."

Liu Feifei pouted, unwilling but not daring to argue, and followed Zhou Kai and the others out of the cave.

Soon, only Lin Fan and Su Qingxue, who was lying on the bed, remained in the cave.

Lin Fan walked to her side and looked at this woman who was once high and mighty, but was now incredibly vulnerable.

"She's about to become a mother, and she still looks so listless?"

Su Qingxue's body trembled slightly. She turned her head and looked at Lin Fan's face.

She wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't utter a single one.

What did you say?

Curse him? Hate him?

But can she really bring herself to hate him?

If it weren't for this man, she might have died on that beach long ago.

It was this man who pulled her back from the brink of death time and time again.

But if she doesn't hate, what expression should she wear to face all of this?

If one day they really manage to leave this island alive.

She, Su Qingxue, the only daughter of the Su family, returned to civilized society with a child.

That would be the biggest laughing stock in high society.

The Su family's reputation, and her own reputation, will be completely ruined.

Her career and her life will be completely changed because of this child.

The thought of the pressure from public opinion around the world is unbearable.

Su Qingxue's heart clenched with worry.

Just as she was immersed in her grief and fear, a warm hand suddenly landed on her head.

Lin Fan's hands were large and gentle, which inexplicably touched Su Qingxue's heart.

He didn't say anything, he just gently stroked her head, again and again.

Su Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her father, no man had ever dared to treat her in this way.

The men surrounding her were all polite and obsequious, and it took immense courage for them to even look her in the eye.

Ke Linfan...

This action was more like a... natural reassurance.

That warmth dispelled a trace of despair from my heart.

Su Qingxue's nose tingled, and her usually empty and lifeless phoenix eyes were instantly blurred with tears.

She bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

But those uncontrollable tears still slid down the corners of her eyes and disappeared into her temples.

Seeing her stubborn expression, as if she wanted to cry but dared not, Lin Fan withdrew his hand.

He picked up the bowl of meat porridge that had cooled down a bit from the side.

"Come on, let's eat something first."

Su Qingxue's eyelashes trembled, but she turned her head to the other side, showing him the back of her head.

Silent resistance.

In the past, Lin Fan would have praised President Su for having backbone.

But now, he can't let her throw a tantrum anymore.

Lin Fan placed the bowl on the stone platform next to him, making a soft "clang" sound.

"Su Qingxue, get this straight, you're not alone right now."

"You can do whatever you want, that's your prerogative. But the one in your belly is mine, Lin Fan's."

"If I want it to live, it must live. If you want it to die, you'll have to ask me first."

He leaned close to Su Qingxue's ear and lowered his voice.

"Now, you have two choices."

"First, you should obediently drink this bowl of porridge to replenish your energy, for my son's sake."

"Secondly, I'm holding your chin and forcing it down your throat, also for my son's sake."

"Choose one."

Su Qingxue's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This kind of "either/or" scenario is something Su Qingxue has already played out before.

But why does this sound so uncomfortable?

Su Qingxue stared intently at Lin Fan with her reddened phoenix eyes.

"You bastard!"

"Yes, I'm an idiot."

"So you'd better not test a jerk's patience."
