"Thank you, Master!"
Jia Mengluo dipped into a curtsy and bowed to Jiang Che. At the same time, one hand gently stroked her lower abdomen, and a trace of happiness appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face.
She could sense that she was already carrying Jiang Che's child.
Because of Jia Ling'er, she had not even dared to appear openly before Jiang Che. She could only hide in the shadows, sneaking around like a caged canary. By day, she was the Queen of the Jialan Clan, leading her people down the road to revival. By night, she was merely Jiang Che's personal maid at his bedside.
"Master, I hope you... won't tell Ling'er," Jia Mengluo said softly.
After all, she was carrying Jiang Che's child. Once the child was born, how was she supposed to face Ling'er?
"It's fine. When the time comes, your husband can work a little harder and get Ling'er pregnant too, can't he?" Jiang Che said, casually wrapping an arm around Jia Mengluo's waist. "Mengluo, your pregnancy luck is pretty good."
Jiang Che's words brought a flush of crimson to Jia Mengluo's cheeks.
Pregnancy... she had been pregnant before, but that had been a unique ability of the Jialan Clan: parthenogenesis. She only needed to collect her own essence blood and introduce it into her body to conceive offspring. It was a way for the Jialan Clan to preserve its royal bloodline and keep its lineage from being sullied by outsiders.
But now... she had truly become pregnant with someone else's child. This feeling was completely different from her first pregnancy.
Although Ling'er had also been born from her, to put it bluntly, that had been a single-parent family. But now it was different... the child in her womb would no longer come from a single-parent family.
