Those Pregnant Women
Having a child in her belly is a major event that can change a woman and a family.
Many girls don't want to have children, many girls are afraid of having children, and there are many reasons for this.
Fear of pain, fear of danger, fear of affecting one's figure, fear of affecting marital relationships, fear of lowering one's quality of life.
It was an unknown period of life. Looking at my peers whose bodies had changed after giving birth, and at mothers who were busy with their children and looked disheveled with no time to take care of themselves, it was hard not to feel that having a child was a little scary.
However, many girls, once they actually get pregnant, accept it. They take off their favorite high heels, give up all their favorite spicy foods, carefully check the ingredient lists on various daily necessities, worrying about affecting the baby in their womb. When they get sick, catch a cold, or have aches and pains, they stubbornly refuse to take a single drop of medicine, just so that the baby's condition won't be affected by any unexpected events.
Every girl who takes childbirth seriously has inevitably experienced a moment of greatness in her life.
Qin Yanan realized that her mindset had subtly changed the moment Su Nanxiu told her she was pregnant, even though she hadn't completely believed it yet, feeling uneasy and skeptical.
In the past, for such a private procedure as an abdominal scan, one would have to pull their pants down below the groin; how could it be exposed to several pairs of eyes?
Even Liu Chang'an was there, though his back was to him.
It seems that for this matter, everything can be compromised, and there's no need for so much restraint or affectation.
There's just one problem that's really serious.
Qin Yanan glanced at Liu Chang'an, then at Su Nanxiu.
Su Nanxiu glanced at Liu Chang'an, then at Qin Yanan.
Who is the child's father?
Qin Yanan couldn't have conceived on her own; there had to be someone to be the father of the child. However, Qin Yanan knew very well that she had never had a relationship with anyone while she was conscious.
When she was not in her right mind, there was a suspect, and the suspect was here too... But, she couldn't say it out loud, since there was no evidence, and he didn't seem like that kind of person.
But if it wasn't him, could it be anyone else? If it was someone else, Qin Yanan couldn't accept it.
Of course, this was only a choice made out of necessity. He was the father of the child, which was better than anyone else. It wasn't that Qin Yanan wanted to have a child with him.
"I believe that an ordinary person cannot impregnate Qin Yanan," Su Nanxiu said, looking at Liu Chang'an. "I discussed this issue with you last time. Longevity, whether male or female, have achieved reproductive isolation from ordinary humans."
"Why... can't an ordinary person get me pregnant?" Qin Yanan glanced at Liu Chang'an, then quickly turned to stare at Su Nanxiu.
Qin Yanan was eager to know how Su Nanxiu was feeling at this moment, but she had already made up her mind that if her pregnancy was indeed a done deal, she couldn't provoke Su Nanxiu until the child was born healthy.
After all, Su Nanxiu is an expert in the fields of biology and medicine. An expert like her, who focuses on one or two professional research areas for many years and whose mind and body do not decline with age, is undoubtedly highly skilled.
However, it's only in the event of a safety emergency that even Liu Chang'an can't handle that one might place their hopes on Su Nanxiu. After all, entrusting the safety of mother and child to Su Nanxiu during pregnancy... in the hands of someone practically a female demon, do they really think Su Nanxiu is a miracle worker with a kind heart?
"I told Liu Chang'an that the fetus carrying his legacy will absorb an excessive amount of nutrition that ordinary people cannot handle, requiring a special gestational environment that ordinary women cannot provide... Even if an ordinary woman were to conceive, the growing fetus would completely absorb all the nutrients from the mother's body, leading to her death." Su Nanxiu pointed at Qin Yanan, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely pointed at Shangguan Dandan, "Your physical condition is very good."
"Why are you pointing at me?" Shangguan Dandan said angrily. She was examining the "television" and pressing every button when she turned her head and found Su Nanxiu pointing at her.
To Shangguan Dandan, all these monitors that can display images are called "television sets".
Su Nanxiu was reluctant to talk to Shangguan Dandan. Shangguan Dandan's focus and way of thinking were quite peculiar. Shouldn't Shangguan Dandan care that she was also a suitable mother at this time? Instead, she got angry because Su Nanxiu pointed at her and even pressed every button on the instrument on Su Nanxiu's workbench. She was a typical child with an uncontrollable curiosity.
Su Nanxiu found it hard to understand. Although she didn't like Shangguan Dandan either, from the very beginning, Shangguan Dandan had been wary, defensive, and hostile towards Su Nanxiu... Su Nanxiu couldn't help but wonder if Shangguan Dandan was concerned about the fact that Su Nanxiu possessed Shangguan Dandan most blood essence from Liu Chang'an, which was why she was specifically targeting Su Nanxiu.
"Similarly, given Qin Yanan's current physical condition, an ordinary man cannot impregnate her. Even if she has relations with an ordinary man, the life-inheriting substance that enters her body will be rejected by her body and disposed of as a foreign object, without any chance of meeting the superior inheritance egg hidden deep within her body." Su Nanxiu reached out and placed her hand on Qin Yanan's lower abdomen through the blanket, saying.
"So, what you're really saying is that the child is mine?" Liu Chang'an concluded, summarizing Su Nanxiu's meaning.
"But... I had no idea I'd ever been with him..." Qin Yanan pulled up the blanket, covering half her face, leaving only her eyes visible. For an unmarried woman, not even knowing who the father of her child was was incredibly shameful.
"She said she didn't know, not that she hadn't been with you." Su Nanxiu exposed Qin Yanan's hidden meaning, coldly looking at Liu Chang'an, "Do you have some kind of peculiar fetish that only involves women when they are completely unconscious or unaware? According to abnormal psychology, this is a post-traumatic stress response, which usually only occurs in..."
"No need for explanations or clarification, stop, thank you." Liu Chang'an gestured to Su Nanxiu to stop showcasing her expertise. Did she not know whether he had any unusual fetishes? She just wanted to tease him.
Shangguan Dandan nodded thoughtfully, then turned around to continue pressing the "TV" button, so as not to attract their attention.
"We're all involved, let's speak frankly." Liu Chang'an sighed somewhat reluctantly. Even he had many past events he didn't want to mention, especially since the people involved were all alive and well, appearing before him in their youth and beauty. It was somewhat difficult to face them if he talked about it again.
This happened many years ago, but for Liu Chang'an, it hasn't been that long.
"I can assure you, I have never had a relationship with Qin Yanan. To me, she is still like a younger sister." Liu Chang'an looked at Qin Yanan, smiled, and gently stroked her long hair from her forehead upwards. Qin Yanan's eyes darted left and right before she shrank back a little deeper into the blanket.
"If you insist that I am the father of the child in Qin Yanan's belly, then the root of the problem is that night you plotted against us." After Liu Chang'an finished speaking, he silently looked at Su Nanxiu in front of him. Beneath her seemingly delicate appearance lay coldness and resentment, just like Su Mei who came to the Ye Family relatives with the intention of spying on her enemies.
Ordinary appearance.
"That was so many years ago... I'm only now pregnant, and I only just have a gestational sac?" Qin Yanan said incredulously. Before her body underwent the abnormality, she had many physical examinations in high school, college, and after graduation. If she already had a gestational sac, it would be impossible for it to be discovered only now.
"Nothing is impossible. Longevity exists, so what's impossible?" Su Nanxiu shook her head. "Besides, you're not the first person to be pregnant for so long."
"Who else?" Liu Chang'an had never heard of such a person.
"Do you remember Lady Yin?" Su Nanxiu looked at Liu Chang'an calmly, like a wife flipping through her husband's contact list, finding one mistress and concubine after another.
"Lady Yin?" Qin Yanan looked at Liu Chang'an with some curiosity. She didn't have the same jealousy Su Nanxiu. Even though she had a child, she didn't have Su Nanxiu's attitude of "I don't care how many women you've had in the past or future, I'm the first wife anyway."
"What Lady Yin? Do I even remember her?" It was impossible for Liu Chang'an to remember every woman he had ever been intimate with in his life, but Su Nanxiu clearly meant that there was a woman named Lady Yin who had been intimate with him and was even pregnant.
If this had ever happened, Liu Chang'an would definitely remember it, since he had never had any descendants.
"Back when you were Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, your wife, Lady Yin, was pregnant for three years and six months, and gave birth to a ball of flesh—that is Nezha."
Liu Chang'an was taken aback. Could this really be attributed to him?
"When I first saw this record, I was a little angry. But thinking about it, it's a case worth studying, so I put aside my prejudices. Upon careful analysis, if your child is really born, it's entirely possible that it will be encased in a protective amniotic sac. This fleshy mass possesses perfectly evolved biological reproductive characteristics." Su Nanxiu looked at Qin Yanan's lower abdomen. "Your child will most likely be the same when it's born."
"I don't want to!" Qin Yanan was startled. She'd given birth to a giant ball of flesh, only for a baby to pop out after it was split open? Who would want to give birth like that!
"You saw Lady Yin giving birth, and just because of this mythical legend that she was pregnant for three years and six months, you think I did it, and you get angry?" Liu Chang'an looked at Su Nanxiu calmly. "Even if you hold a grudge against me and are used to making me take the blame, can't we talk about serious matters now?"
Su Nanxiu's lips curled slightly; she was happiest when a man was helpless against a woman.
