Chapter 897: Hongxue Also Has It

Having a child showed that both had put in effort; Chen Chuyang had not spared effort. Over this year, he stayed constantly between Shang Hongxue and Qi Ruohua, toiling nonstop, striving nonstop for the child. The two women were as if crazy, desperate for a child.

Perhaps the more this happened, the less they could have a child; but now she suddenly became pregnant, Chen Chuyang was first dumbfounded, then excited.

How could he not be excited? This was his first child; although he always said he wasn't in a rush, he was actually quite anxious.

His mother kept nudging him, intentionally or not, adding pressure; Shang Hongxue also urged him, everyone was urging him, even his third uncle flaunted his child, which made him feel worst.

His third uncle always brought the child up to show off; over this year, he spent most of his time on the mountain, rarely leaving.

Liu Yuer, meanwhile, resumed her work, leaving the child mostly with the third uncle; this caused the third uncle to walk around showing off the child everywhere, precisely to show off Chen Chuyang's child.

"Husband, are you happy?" Qi Ruohua looked at Chen Chuyang, eyes full of excitement, and her heart felt happy too.

"Of course I'm happy. Now that you're pregnant, you must take care of your body and not overwork as before."

"In cultivation, you also need to be more careful; you must not ruin your body for the sake of training."

After Qi Ruohua advanced to the True Realm, her cultivation was no longer weak; she no longer needed to train just for training's sake, and the pressure weighing on her head had greatly lessened—unlike before, when the Heavenly Heart Sect pressed down on her, making it hard to breathe.

After the Heavenly Heart Sect fell, Qi Ruohua breathed a sigh of relief; once her body relaxed, conception came naturally. Chen Chuyang held this woman, feeling the heavy pressure on her, which he had always known but could not ease.

She controlled the Great Qi Dynasty inside and out; Jing Yuheng's strength rose accordingly, the Black Dragon Guard was in her palm, and many military forces were at her command. Qi Ruohua naturally had no fear; the entire Great Qi Dynasty, inside and out, obeyed her orders, completely overturning its internal decline.

This was thanks to Chen Chuyang; Qi Ruohua naturally knew that she could reach this point, and Chen Chuyang was the most important.

"I know."

Qi Ruohua stroked her belly, her gaze turning gentle.

She glanced at Chen Chuyang out of the corner of her eye and chuckled: "From now on, husband, you must accompany Hongxue properly… she has waited a long, long time, and this time I got ahead of her, so you may suffer for a while."

She could imagine Shang Hongxue's madness; then, husband, you would be miserable.

Chen Chuyang gave a bitter smile: "You still have the nerve to laugh at me."

"I'll handle Hongxue's side; you don't need to worry."

Thinking of that Shang Hongxue girl, Chen Chuyang had a headache; as his legitimate wife, she wasn't pregnant, yet Qi Ruohua had gotten ahead.

Just this was enough to drive that Shang Hongxue girl crazy.

The days ahead might be grim.

As expected.

After Shang Hongxue learned the news, she was about to go mad.

She began to torment Chen Chuyang madly, day and night, giving him no chance to cultivate and no rest.

She tormented him for about ten days straight, then finally let him go.

That Shang Hongxue girl seemed to have conceived as well.

Chen Chuyang checked and confirmed it.

That girl also had conceived, a half month later than Qi Ruohua.

This discovery made Chen Chuyang very excited, yet at the same time he doubted himself.

"Am I that awesome? Both of them are pregnant?"

Thinking this, Chen Chuyang raised his head and looked down on the world.

Shang Hongxue gave him a sideways glance and said coolly, "What are you showing off for, Elder Brother Chuyang? Letting Qi Ruohua get ahead—I haven't settled this score with you yet."

She stood with hands on hips, looking down from above.

That pose resembled a queen; at this moment she was actually quite like Qi Ruohua.

And Qi Ruohua was her counterpart, the two women reversed.

Seeing this change, Chen Chuyang felt excited, but unfortunately he couldn't move.

Both women were pregnant, and at about the same time—this was problematic.

"Hongxue, you're magnanimous; you won't quarrel with her, right?"

"What do you say, Elder Brother Chuyang?"

Shang Hongxue lowered her head, staring at the man before her, her gaze as if she had already devoured Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang was frightened by her gaze; this girl had changed greatly.

"Cough cough cough." Chen Chuyang knew that at this moment the woman couldn't speak clearly; he reached out and held her.

He spoke kind words, talking to her nicely.

After half an hour, Shang Hongxue felt much better; he held that girl.

"You two really are a coincidence—both pregnant at the same time."

"Isn't this what you wanted, Elder Brother Chuyang?"

Shang Hongxue was in high spirits; after pregnancy, the stone in her heart vanished. She knew what this news meant—her parents would surely be delighted to hear it.

Her parents had been waiting for her to become pregnant, hoping to see the love child of her and Chen Chuyang; as for their wedding, it had been postponed for a long time and still hadn't been held, perhaps because many things delayed it.

Or perhaps it was too dangerous, with the Heavenly Heart Sect looming over everyone; after dealing with the Heavenly Heart Sect, … other matters still interfered.

"Hongxue, when do you say we should hold our wedding?"

"I don't know; whether we hold it or not makes no difference."

Shang Hongxue stroked her belly; at this moment her heart was wholly with the child.

Other things, she didn't care about.

Like Chen Chuyang, she disliked these tedious affairs; even for the sake of completing a task, she didn't want to, previously only doing it to appease her parents.

Chen Chuyang was the same, disliking … those troublesome matters.

He merely felt sorry toward his little girl, feeling guilty.

"As long as I can stay by Elder Brother Chuyang's side, I am content."

"Elder Brother Chuyang, will you always stay by my side?"

Chen Chuyang held the woman tightly, feeling both pity and deep affection for her.

You…

What should I say? You are so good to me; I wonder how my husband could ever repay you.

The more Shang Hongxue does this, the more he feels guilty toward this woman; she truly thinks of him in every way.

Without her, Chen Chuyang doesn't know what to do.

Because of her, Longshe Shan has changed greatly.

Chen Chuyang no longer needs to worry about the problems of Longshe Shan, nor does he need to... worry about other things.

He can cultivate at ease, and attend to his affairs at ease.

As long as my husband is by my side, that's enough; I dare not hope for anything else.

Husband, you don't need to be like this; all of this, I do willingly.

In Shang Hongxue's eyes, there is only Chen Chuyang, only this husband; for Chen Chuyang, she can do anything.

Chen Chuyang held her tightly, unwilling to let go.

With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
