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

"Don't believe everything."

Lin Fan sat down next to Su Qingxue, "But it's not that I don't believe it at all."

Su Qingxue looked at his profile but didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Fan reached out and rubbed his temples.

Since landing on this island, the system in his mind has given him many prompts: poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, dangerous routes, where supplies are located, and so on.

But from beginning to end, he was never given a single hint as to why the island had become like this.

Magnetic field disturbances, plant and animal mutations, complete failure of electronic equipment, and rescue signals lost without a trace.

He had seen and experienced these things firsthand.

Since the system doesn't provide an answer, what Yang Ningcong says becomes valuable.

Lin Fan smacked his lips.

"The experiences he described matched what we had encountered. He didn't know we had special abilities, yet he could describe the details of the mutants."

"If he could fabricate stories to this extent, he wouldn't be Yang Ningcong."

Su Qingxue pursed her lips. "So, what do you plan to do with him?"

"Let's keep it."

Lin Fan said casually, "An extra mouth to feed is just a few more mouthfuls of rice a day. Anyway, you can conjure things up now."

"Besides, he also said that he was stranded on a desert island because of you."

"I have to repay the favor on your behalf!"

"Lin Fan!" Su Qingxue said with a smile, "You don't actually believe that, do you?"

"Hmm?" Lin Fan smiled at her too. "Believe it! Our CEO Su is beautiful and has a great figure, it's normal for Yang Ningcong to chase her all the way to a deserted island!"

"I'll take that as a compliment!"

"However, you still can't let your guard down. If he really knows the situation on the island, he might..."

"Okay, I understand."

"We're keeping him around so that if that snake comes out one day and we really can't beat it..."

Lin Fan turned his head and gestured with his chin toward the direction where Yang Ningcong was huddled outside the cubicle.

"In rural areas, pigs are always fattened up in advance before slaughtering them for the Lunar New Year."

Su Qingxue's lips twitched.

She neither refuted nor nodded, but simply placed her hand on her still-flat stomach, her gaze fixed on the light streaming in through the opening.

This can be considered an implicit agreement.

Lin Fan patted his knees, stood up, and walked out.

He walked to the supplies area and pulled out the mineral water bottles.

Xu Zhixia was squatting by the fire, boiling herbs, when she heard the noise and looked up.

Where are you going?

"Carry water, and while you're at it, find some sour fruit by the edge of the woods."

Xu Zhixia stopped what she was doing.

"To the woods?"

She stood up and blocked Lin Fan's way.

"Yang Ningcong just said there's a monster in the woods, are you going in now?"

"There's still water in the cave, enough for two days, no rush."

"The water is not rushing, but the fruit is."

Xu Zhixia frowned. "What fruit is more important than life?"

"Su Qingxue wanted to eat something sour. She mentioned it yesterday, but something got in the way until now."

Lin Fan unscrewed a bottle cap to check it, then screwed it back on.

"She's carrying my child. If a father can't even get a sour fruit, what kind of father is he?"

Xu Zhixia opened her mouth, but she couldn't respond to this.

From a medical perspective, special attention does need to be paid to diet during early pregnancy.

Su Qingxue had a poor constitution and was overexerted in her physical strength. Eating only white rice and meat for a long time would not work.

Acidic fruits can relieve morning sickness and also provide vitamins.

But the risks in the woods...

"Wait..." Yang Ningcong, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up. "What...what did you say?"

"Pregnant? Who's pregnant?"

Lin Fan sneered, almost forgetting that Yang Ningcong was Su Qingxue's loyal sycophant.

"I forgot to tell you, Qingxue is pregnant, so you should stay away from her."

Yang Ningcong's Adam's apple bobbed twice.

Pregnant.

Su Qingxue is pregnant, and the child is Lin Fan's.

Yang Ningcong's mind was buzzing.

During this month, one of the things that kept him alive was the thought of waiting for him to return. If the young master of the Yang Group chased him to the deserted island to rescue the beauty, the story would definitely become the number one trending topic.

Even if Su Qingxue is unmoved, the bond forged through shared hardship on the deserted island could still cause Yang's stock price to soar.

Back then, who would have called Yang Ningcong a playboy? He was clearly the most affectionate man in high society.

What now?

There's already a seed in her belly.

The seed was planted by Lin Fan.

An intern at Sheng Tang Group, a lowly nobody who wasn't even allowed to walk through the company's main gate, slept with the woman Yang Ningcong had been eyeing for years.

Not only did she sleep, she also got pregnant.

Yang Ningcong felt a surge in his chest, a feeling that rose from the bottom of his stomach, making his teeth ache.

He stared at the back of Lin Fan's head, his gaze sharp and menacing.

They wished they could drill a hole in Lin Fan's head.

Lin Fan was screwing the cap on the water bottle when he caught a glimpse of Yang Ningcong's face out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't react.

He was all too familiar with this kind of hatred.

Liu Feifei was squatting beside the fire, fiddling with the firewood, when she caught a glimpse of Yang Ningcong's face out of the corner of her eye.

Those bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lin Fan's back, and the muscles in his jaw bulged.

Liu Feifei knew that her current situation was not much better than Yang Ningcong's.

Just now, Lin Fan publicly belittled her as a nanny, and Zhou Kai didn't even speak up for her.

The only person in the entire cave with a lower status than her was probably this smelly young master.

So she quickly came out to stand on the platform.

Liu Feifei stood up and walked to Yang Ningcong's side.

"What are you glaring at?"

Yang Ningcong was taken aback, as he was interrupted.

Liu Feifei lowered her voice and took half a step closer to him.

"Qingxue is pregnant with Lin Fan's child, what's your reaction? You're not secretly resentful, are you?"

Yang Ningcong's lips moved slightly.

He's trying to convince me of nothing.

But Wang Laoliu's fate flashed through his mind.

That mercenary, who had been through many battles in Africa and the Middle East, couldn't even last a single round against Lin Fan.

Who does Yang Ningcong think he is?

In terms of fists, he couldn't kill a crab with one punch. In terms of stamina, he would be out of breath after running two hundred meters.

On this island, might makes right.

She's just a woman.

Yang Ningcong swallowed his sour feeling, turned his face away, and said, "No."

"What did I glare at? I was just scared and my eyes haven't recovered yet."

Liu Feifei sized him up for two seconds. As long as her goal was achieved, she said, "That's good."

Liu Feifei took half a step back and wrinkled her nose.

That stench came up again, a mixture of urine, cold sweat, and rotting flesh, so strong it made your scalp tingle even from a meter away.

"Yang Ningcong, you stink."

Yang Ningcong lowered his head and sniffed his sleeve, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

He knew he smelled bad; his pants were half-wet in the crevice, and he didn't know if it was seawater or some other liquid.

Liu Feifei covered her nose with the back of her hand. "Go take a shower."

Yang Ningcong instantly shrank back a bit.

"Go down?"
