The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 775 - Good News! “

"I'm just saying" Yang Xi Ying waved her hand casually in the air "After all, it might be a good time for my father to request early retirement, he'd better take a long vacation to get away from all the stress that accumulated over the years" Yang Xi Ying shrugged nonchalantly.

Yang Xi Ying never depended on her father's reputation since she knew from a young age it was unreliable so she preferred to build her own reputation even though her hard work was in vain because of her ruffian ex-boyfriend, but she blamed no one but herself, luckily she married with Li Mo Zhen then later she had a good relationship with the Hei Shen sect and she became a close friend of Ming Yue Yin, the empress of the Nation, from then on her reputation automatically surpassed her previous reputation and by herself, she became one of the leading women in the Liang Zu Kingdom, therefore she didn't need to depend by her own family anymore, in fact, it was her family who depended on her now so it didn't matter if his father lost his job or not then it made no difference to her. 

​​

"Did your father have a problem?" asked Lory, Yang Xi Ying rarely talked about his family so Lory thought their relationship might not be that close, but this was unusual in a noble family.

Yang Xi Ying shook her head, "Most of the troubles come from her own family since Yang Qiou Ru was pregnant with Gu Lian Fu child, her mother had been thrown her weight around the Manor and she not only make trouble with my mother but also the other concubines including the children, so lately The Yang Manor wasn't so peaceful…..oh it doesn't matter" she waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's more important is how to deal with Wei Zu Tian?" Yang Xi Ying's beautiful brows were tightly knitted together.

Lory folded her hands on the table she agreed with her "There is nothing we can do for now as we don't know where he is now, all we can do is stay alert, and that's including you because of your close relationship with us is better for you and Li Mo Zhen to be more careful" Lory reminded her. 

"I know, don't worry about me" Yang Xi Ying smile beautifully, she had confidence in Li Mo Zhen and Jiu Yun sect's ability. Suddenly her eyes twinkle and she clasped her hands together "Oh, by the way, I came here to tell you about good news" she bit her lips excitedly. 

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lory calmly asked as she reached the teapot in front of her then slowly poured her teacup. 

"I'm pregnant!" Yang Xi Ying Squeal excitedly.

"WHAT!" Lory was stunned and the water almost filled her teacup. 

"Hey, Lory, your tea is overflowing!" Yang Xi Ying quickly reminded her. 

"Oh yeah," Lory realized what was happening, he quickly put down the teacup then ran to Yang Xi Ying and hugged her excitedly, and shouted excitedly, "Congratulations!"

Lory warmed embraces make Yang Xi Ying overwhelmed with gentleness, Lory sincere words feel more precious than other people words including her own family, even though her family happy for her but Yang Xi Ying know they just happy because she would have a strong foothold at Jiu Yun sect right now which means the Yang Family have an unbreakable relationship with the Jiu Yun sect and everyone in yang family could take advantage from it.

Meanwhile, when Lory said congratulation to her it means 'her' nothing more, nothing less.

"Oh my god, wait before that brat hears about this, he's going to make a fuss as usual!" Lori laughed.

Yang Xi Ying's face reddened with joy, "Thank you, yes, I thought she would!" both Lory and Yang Xi Ying could imagine Ming Yue Yin's sullen expression as the last to miss out on such important news again.

Lory suddenly let go of her hand when she realized she might be hugging Yang Xi Ying too hard and anxiously asked, "Oh sorry, did I hurt you, how's the baby?" 

"I'm fine, my baby won't be so weak," Yang Xi Ying thought Lory's worried face was cute. 

"Okay - okay, you should sit down" Lory helped Yang Xi Ying sit down then she poured her some tea but then she asked, "Wait, can you have some tea?" 

"As long as it's herbal tea" Yang Xi Ying tilted her head. 

Lory narrowed her eyes doubtfully, "I don't know if this tea is safe or not, don't take the risk and ask Jin Hao later" Lory put down the teapot.

Lory is one person who is too anxious in front of pregnant women, she tends to worry every time she meets a woman with a distended stomach. So Lory became even more anxious when her best friend got pregnant even though the cultivator's stamina and strength were not like normal people however Lory was still worried knowing Yang Xi Ying was pregnant. 

"I thought you should rest, and didn't you just jump over me?!" only now did Lory remember how dangerous Yang Xi Ying's previous actions were if the table wasn't sturdy enough the two would fall if that happened what would happen to Yang Xi Ying's pregnancy. The color faded from Lory's face, he looked at Yang Xi Ying with fear. 

"You should rest now, I'm taking you home and I'll call Jin Hao now!" Lory gently tugged on Yang Xi Ying's arm. 

"I'm fine, don't worry~" Yang Xi Ying reassured her. 

"Well, I am!" Lory refused to listen to her "Where is your husband anyway?"

"Oh, he talked to your husband about Wei Zu Tian's matter," said Yang Xi Ying with a gloomy face.

The matter involving Wei Zu Tian was no small matter so it was normal for everyone to be alerted, perhaps the Liang Zu royal authority had already received a warning from the Hei Shen sect because they had been exchanging secret information with each other ever since Ming Yue Yin was appointed as the new Empress. 

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, your main concern is taking care of your baby" Lory didn't want Yang Xi Ying to worry too much and affect the development of the fetus. Everyone knows early pregnancy is the most important phase alas it also the most sensitive time. 

"Are you kicking me out now?" Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips dejectedly.

This time Lory will not sway by her coy looks "Yes, let's go home and drink some tonic for your baby"

"Uggh, you sound like my husband…." Yang Xi Ying grumbled.

After Lory manages to send Yang Xi Ying home she met with Zhao Li Xin in his study room coincidently he also finishes his discussion with Li Mo Zhen, Zhao Li Xin's frozen expression melted the moment he saw Lory's face "You're here" he smiled.

"You heard Yang Xi Ying is pregnant?" Lory saunter across the room then take a sit on the couch.

Zhao Li Xin nodded "Hm, Li Mo Zhen told me, I already order someone to send a congratulatory gift to the Li Manor," Zhao Li Xin said while his eyes remain on the pile of papers on the desk, there still a lot of matters he needs to checked and approved.

"Are you jealous?" Lory squints her eyes as she throws a half-joking question.

Zhao Li Xin put down the papers then he looks at her confusedly "About what?"

"You know… children?" Lory knows how important it is to have children in this world otherwise they will not keep so many concubines just to produce an heir, even in her old world some countries still put pressure on a woman to give birth despite all other great achievements the woman had accomplice, imagine you are a CEO of a big company but your parents still demand every year 'Where are my grandchildren!'

Zhao Li Xin chuckled, she arranged the papers neatly then got up from her chair and sat down next to Lory, he wrapped his arms around Lory's shoulders and calmly said: and ignoring everything including their husbands, if that's the case I'd rather have no children at all" he said with certainty without the slightest hesitation in his words.

Lory nudged him and sneered "That's not true, it depends on the couple themselves as long as their relationship is good then children only make their relationship stronger, you are so ridiculous" 

"Is that so?" Zhao Li Xin was not sure, this was not what he had heard from her subordinates. However, Zhao Li Xin forgot all his subordinates were Bachelor. 

"Yes!" Lory rolled her eyes. 

"Well, as long you don't neglect me, we can have children" Zhao Li Xin pulled Lory close on his embraces.

Lory rested her head on his chest contemplating for a moment, "But, I don't think this is the right time to have children, right? We had so many enemies, and….I still have my curse" Lory took a deep breath, she always lived between chaos and danger to the point that she took it as a normal occurrence but now she is married, and seeing her close friends start a family with the kids and everything made Lory take a step back and think about her own life.

Lory can't help but wonder maybe there's more to it than just fighting and saving the world for her...

Zhao Li Xin caressed her cheek then kissed the top of her head gently "Don't worry, one day we will have the family we want" 

"Hm… one day" Lory responded with a hopeful smile.
