My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 389: Yuran is Pregnant

Xia Ji, "Second Brother, I’m mad."

Xia Yu’s face stiffened, and he quickly waved his hand, "I really am meddling unnecessarily..."

Xia Chui and the elder of the General’s Family both kept silent, the meal was awkward, and after they finished eating, Xia Chui followed the elder into the study.

...

Bo Yan called Xia Chui, and when Xia Chui received the call from Bo Yan, he was not surprised. He said, "Even if you hadn’t called me, I would have called you."

Bo Yan replied, "Oh, you seem not to be surprised by this call."

"Of course."

Bo Yan, "Then there’s no point in wasting words that mean nothing. Xia Ruyan, if your Xia Family won’t deal with her, I will."

Xia Chui was unfazed, as if discussing a stranger, "Suit yourself."

Bo Yan, "So you’re not being the gentlemanly protector now? I thought, with all the resources along the way, you would at least acknowledge this sister for appearances’ sake."

"That’s a misunderstanding by others," Xia Chui said. "Xia Ji has never liked her. This way, the higher she is lifted, the harder she falls, and my ultimate goal is for Xia Ji to be happy."

"Does your family think the same way? I’m going to deal with Xia Ruyan, and your family has no objections, right?"

Xia Chui, "None, I’ve spoken to my grandfather, and the Xia family never acknowledged an outsider’s existence anyway. You dealing with an outsider has nothing to do with us."

Bo Yan, "Good."

Bo Yan hung up the phone with Xia Chui and shared the Xia family’s stance on Xia Ruyan with Yuran.

Yuran was sitting at the vanity drying her hair. Hearing this, she paused, and her eyes met Bo Yan’s in the mirror. Noticing her distraction, he put down the phone and walked over to stand behind her.

He reached out to take over the task in her hands, drying her hair, "What are you thinking about?"

Yuran smiled, shaking her head, "I was thinking, being unrecognized by a major family is really tough."

Bo Yan chuckled, "That depends on the family, doesn’t it? Like our Bo Family, we don’t allow illegitimate children. It’s about upbringing and family tradition;

A self-disciplined person wouldn’t even let their own base desires go unchecked. Knowing the consequences yet still going ahead, that’s nobody’s fault but their own.

You reap what you sow; it’s just the cycle of karma.

In the case of Xia Ruyan, she didn’t manage her pretensions well; did she really think she could provoke the Bo Family so easily?"

This sudden haughty tone cleared all unwanted thoughts from Yuran’s mind, and she turned around, embracing Bo Yan’s waist, "Exactly, isn’t it?"

Bo Yan laughed, "My lady, I’m working so hard; have you got any news on your end yet?"

Speaking of this, Yuran became serious, "Um, maybe, probably... yes."

Bo Yan crouched down, shorter than Yuran by a head, his eyes bright with anticipation as he looked at Yuran, "Baby, do you mean..."

As he spoke, his gaze instinctively swept toward Yuran’s abdomen. Yuran looked down, her expression soft, the hand he was holding moved slightly, "I missed my period this month, it’s been delayed by ten days, I’m not sure now, shall we buy a pregnancy test tomorrow?"

"I’ll buy it, right now," Bo Yan, still in his lounge wear, looked anxious. Yuran held his hand, "What time is it now? Let’s go tomorrow."

Bo Yan’s face showed conflict; he was really uneasy, "No, I’ll have Xie Cheng buy it now."

Yuran: "..."

A moment of silence for Xie Cheng.

...

Xie Cheng was woken up, understandably displeased, as a full night’s rest was rare, right?

But when he heard what Bo Yan had ordered him to buy, he was utterly disconcerted.

A pregnancy test?

Does that mean Yuran is pregnant?

How old is Yuran again?

Nineteen or eighteen?

After buying the items from a 24-hour pharmacy and heading towards Bo Yan’s home, he still felt like he hadn’t quite processed this sudden shocking news.

Arriving at the Platinum Imperial Palace, Bo Yan took the items and was about to close the door when Xie Cheng blocked it, preventing it from closing. Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, "What’s the matter?"

Xie Cheng, "Let me in, I’ll wait for the results."

Bo Yan, "It’s none of your business, I don’t need you here."

Xie Cheng, "It’s true it has nothing to do with me, but have you considered how many issues could follow if she is pregnant?"

Bo Yan, "I know, so what?"

"So what?" Xie Cheng held his forehead, squeezed by the door without moving, "Are you even listening to me seriously?"

"Of course I am, don’t waste my time, just get lost."

Xie Cheng, "You let me in first."

Bo Yan: "..." Blocked by the door, unmoving, with no intention of letting anyone in.

Xie Cheng: "..."

In the end, it was Yuran who came downstairs after Bo Yan didn’t go up, only to find the situation here, stunned, "Seventh Brother, what are you and Brother Xie Cheng doing?"

Xie Cheng, half of his body wedged in the door, neither advancing nor retreating, looked somewhat awkward.

Bo Yan saw her in a bathrobe, rested his palm on Xie Cheng’s face, and pushed him out, though he didn’t shut the door. He went up to Yuran, lifted her off her feet, and carried her straight upstairs.

Xie Cheng, finally inside the door: "..."

Sitting quietly in the living room after he entered, he anxiously fiddled with his phone while waiting for the news, feeling uneasy deep inside.

If she was pregnant, it would naturally be good news for the Bo Family, and for Bo Yan as well.

However, from another angle, if it involved Bo Yan’s career, then it’s a matter to reconsider.

Although the public image of Bo Yan was not deliberately cultivated, it was deeply entrenched; suddenly announcing a marriage and child.

Bo Yan might not care about his own reputation since acting was simply a passion, not to please others, but as a concrete fan who had admired him for years,

there should be some respect, right?

While no one expected any fan to end up with Bo Yan, but...

everyone assumed they had the role of the main spouse.

How to provide an explanation that is reasonable and easy for everyone to accept?

Or should it be kept a secret for now?

Twenty minutes later, Bo Yan came downstairs, and the thoughtful Xie Cheng suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Bo Yan.

When Bo Yan approached, Xie Cheng seemed to have scalded his throat, unable to make a sound. His lips moved, but he still didn’t ask his question.

Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes, "You can reduce my workload now, or just take an indefinite break."

"Are you?" Xie Cheng exclaimed in astonishment.

The smile on Bo Yan’s face was undisguisable, as if he wanted to flaunt his joy to everyone, just like an idiot when Yuran tested positive upstairs.

He hadn’t recovered for a long time, staring blankly at Yuran, not even blinking.

It was hard to believe that he could be this lucky.

Turns out, he was that lucky.

Seeing Bo Yan nod, Xie Cheng felt his body stiffen completely, "You you you... you are really infuriating me."

"Infuriating in a delightful way?" Bo Yan asked.

Xie Cheng, not wanting to speak at all, sat back down on the couch, "So, you are planning to..."

Without hesitation, Bo Yan said, "Retire from the scene."

Swoosh, Xie Cheng jumped up, "What did you say, I didn’t catch that."

Bo Yan, "Although it’s a bit late, that has been my plan from the start, everyone in the family knows."

Xie Cheng, pointing at Bo Yan, struggled to speak for a while and, after a long time, asked very slowly, "When you made this decision, did Yuran know about it too?"

Shaking his head, Bo Yan smiled gently, "These things, there’s no need to bother her with. She’s already struggling with the pregnancy. Why trouble her over such a trifle?"

Xie Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, "You call retiring from the scene a trivial matter?"
