Yong Cang’s injuries were really severe. Even after taking a unique medicine pill from Dao Xuzi, he didn’t wake up until the evening of the next day. After glancing around to confirm his safety and noting that his wounds were treated, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the door creaked open and a man walked in. Seeing Yong Cang’s eyes open, he couldn’t help but smile, "You’re awake?"

"Is this the Yang Family?"

"Weren’t you here to find the Yang Family?" Miao Jian slightly furrowed his brows.

"Yes." Yong Cang hastily smiled, "And your madam?" With that, he attempted to get up but found that he was too weak to support himself.

"The madam said that even if you wake up, you’ll need to stay in bed for a few days." Miao Jian put down the bowl of porridge in his hand, "You’d better not move on your own. If you aggravate your wounds, it’ll be quite troublesome."

Yong Cang hurriedly lay back down, "Thank you."

"My name is Miao Jian, I’m the butler here." Miao Jian walked over to help him up, "Have something to eat."

Yong Cang was truly hungry, and he drank down the porridge in a few gulps.

Yang Ruxin came over after dinner for a walk.

"You... you’re about to give birth?" Yong Cang looked at Yang Ruxin’s exaggeratedly large belly, feeling somewhat complicated. Last time he came, she was already married; now upon seeing her again, she’s about to become a mother. Ah, he truly has no hope with her.

Of course, it’s not entirely hopeless. If Gu Qingheng were to die and she became a widow, there’d still be a sliver of chance, but that hope is very slim.

"Still have two months to go, I think." Yang Ruxin gently caressed her belly, a blissful smile on her lips.

"Your belly is so big!" Yong Cang’s eyes widened, "I’ve seen pregnant women who are about to give birth, and they didn’t have bellies as big as yours. Could it be twins?"

"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded slightly, "If all goes well, it should be three."

"That’s wonderful!" Yong Cang’s eyes showed a touch of envy.

"Ouch!" Yang Ruxin suddenly frowned slightly.

"What’s wrong?" Yong Cang was startled.

Chai Qin also quickly stepped forward.

"It’s nothing." Yang Ruxin quickly shook her head, "The little ones have a comment."

"What?" Yong Cang didn’t understand.

"There should be three in my belly if nothing goes wrong. You mentioned two, and I nodded, so the little ones are making a fuss." Yang Ruxin laughed.

At this moment, a small bump suddenly rose on her belly, and shortly after, another one appeared elsewhere, but it didn’t seem to discomfort Yang Ruxin.

In the light summer clothing, the bouncing belly was quite noticeable. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yong Cang tilted his head to look at Yang Ruxin’s belly and couldn’t help but smile. He found it miraculous and really wanted to touch it, but he knew such a request was too much, so he could only clench his hands tightly under the blanket.

"Gu Qingheng is truly lucky."

Yang Ruxin lifted her eyes to glance at him.

Yong Cang, trying to hide his emotions, turned his head back to look at the ceiling.

"You should find a wife and have a kid. That will make you very happy too."

Yong Cang suddenly sighed. Does he have the leisure for that now? Besides, could he find a woman as capable as her?

"Isn’t it time to talk about how you got injured and ended up here?" Yang Ruxin stopped making small talk and got to the point, "I saved you because of our cooperation, but I don’t want to bring more trouble upon myself."
