"Wife, let me tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"Come here, I’ll tell you."
They were about one or two meters apart, not far at all. Xuexue didn’t move and casually said, "If you have something to say, just say it. We’re not that far apart. Don’t worry, my hearing’s good."
Long Rui: "But it’s a secret, and I’m worried the walls might have ears."
Xuexue glanced at the spacious hall, which was empty and far from any walls. The people next door would need keen hearing to eavesdrop on their conversation: "It’s fine, go ahead!"
Long Rui playfully insisted, "Wife, come here."
Xuexue pouted, "Fine, don’t say it then. I’m leaving."
After speaking, she really stood up and prepared to leave.
Long Rui stood up, stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his embrace, and chuckled, "Wife’s temper is getting stronger, perhaps you’re expecting?"
Xuexue’s face turned red, pretending not to understand, she changed the subject, "It’s all your fault, bringing up stuff like childhood sweethearts."
Long Rui admitted it cheerfully, "Yes, yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have mentioned childhood sweethearts."
Then he carefully helped Xuexue sit down by the stool.
"Wife, be careful, there might be a little baby in your belly."
As soon as Long Rui finished speaking, Xuexue jumped up, "You... you... what nonsense are you talking about? Who’s having a baby?"
Long Rui laughed, "Wife, you’re so happy, right? You’ll soon be a mom, I’m quite excited too."
Nonsense, who’s happy? She’s scared out of her wits! She hasn’t avenged her big grudge yet, she doesn’t want any children. In her past life, her daughter died tragically just a few months old, becoming a lifelong nightmare for Xuexue. She won’t have children in this life until she avenges it.
Xuexue: "Excited my foot, who told you I’m pregnant?"
Long Rui remained jubilant, "It’s possible, after all, we’ve been married for so long. It’s normal to have a little one."
Normal my foot, she’s been careful with contraception, drinking medicine every time after the deed, how can there be a little one?
Of course, Long Rui knew nothing about Xuexue’s contraception efforts, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so happy.
Long Rui shouted, "Steward, steward."
The steward rushed in from the main door, "Hey hey hey! Here I am, here I am, your humble servant is here!"
Long Rui: "Hurry up and fetch a doctor."
The steward was puzzled, asking, "What’s wrong? Is Prince sick?"
Long Rui chuckled, "No, no one’s sick. Just go quickly!"
No one was sick, why fetch a doctor?
The steward was extremely confused but dared not defy the Prince’s orders, so he obediently went to fetch the doctor.
Xuexue helplessly said, "Prince, I’m not pregnant."
Long Rui stuck to his conviction, "Whether you’re pregnant or not, you can’t decide, I can’t decide, the doctor can decide."
Xuexue: "Prince, did you forget? Xuexue is a doctor."
Long Rui: "Wife, haven’t you heard? You can’t diagnose yourself. Wife, be good, let the doctor take a look."
Xuexue had no choice, let him make a fuss then. If she didn’t let the doctor take a look, Long Rui wouldn’t give up.
After about Half a Cup of Tea’s time, the doctor was brought back.
"Your humble servant greets Prince and Princess Consort!" The doctor was a slim man, about thirty years old, wearing a long robe and carrying a medicine chest, appearing gentle and courteous. He first bowed to Long Rui and Xuexue upon entering.
Long Rui’s tone changed, coldly saying, "Stand up!"
Long Rui’s quick change of expression amazed everyone present; clearly, the Prince’s good mood was reserved only for the Princess Consort.
