Chapter 175 Resonance: Danger Occurs In Quick Succession (1/2)

“Jianqiu, how are you?! Are you severely hurt?! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have made you angry.”

As soon as Situ walked into Feng Luodi's courtyard, he could hear Gan Qingjia wailing and his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Covert Guard Duo noticed that the situation didn't seem right and quickly went back into hiding.

Qi Jianqiu was lying on Feng Luodi's bed. The otherworldly Eldritch Physician, Xia Jingfeng, had just finished telling her about the things to take note of during her pregnancy and right after that, she heard her husband's thunderous cry.

After recovering from her shock, Qi Jianqiu also felt a little embarra.s.sed and apologetic towards her husband.

She was being subjected to Feng Luodi's teasing gaze when she saw Gan Qingjia running in frantically. He leapt to the bed and held her hand in his as he questioned her worriedly.

“Where do you feel unwell? How did you get hurt? Or did you get ill?”

His string of questions as well as the care and worry in his eyes made Qi Jianqiu feel a little guilty about what happened early that morning.

“Qingjia, I'm sorry for getting angry at you today.”

It would have been better if Qi Jianqiu didn't speak. As soon as she uttered those words, Gan Qingjia panicked even more.

“Jianqiu, please don't scare me…”

Gan Qingjia thought that Qi Jianqiu didn't want to tell him about her condition. The moment he saw the Eldritch Physician who was standing at one side, he rushed to him and asked, “What's wrong with Jianqiu?”

The Eldritch Physician knitted his eyebrows. He didn't understand Gan Qingjia's reaction. Could it be that his own wife's pregnancy isn't good news to him?

The Eldritch Physician who seldom interacted with people was puzzled and his gaze naturally landed on Feng Luodi who was beside him.

At the moment, Gan Qingjia's palms were breaking out in a sweat and his breathing was rapid. His complexion was wreathed with worry and fear. Feng Luodi was used to seeing his frivolous smile but his current state caused her to be at a loss.

“Just tell him. This fellow didn't finish listening to Duo before he ran all the way here,” Situ's cold voice suddenly sounded.

Feng Luodi subconsciously smiled and stared at Situ who was unhurriedly walking in.

Although Situ's countenance had a faint trace of jealousy, it disappeared the moment he saw that Feng Luodi was in a good mood. However, when his gaze slipped past the Eldritch Physician, a trace of displeasure flickered across his eyes. Any men who appear in Feng Luodi's boudoir was inexcusable no matter the reason.

When his thoughts got to this point, Situ's gaze was also dim when he looked towards Gan Qingjia.

Gan Qingjia was in no mood to bother about Situ's gloominess at this moment. After he turned around, he stared at Qi Jianqiu and asked earnestly, “Jianqiu, tell me truthfully. What illness have you contracted?”

Gan Qingjia clenched his fists tightly. The worry that flowed into his heart made him unable to think for the first time. He didn't even notice everyone's teasing and congratulatory looks.

Qi Jianqiu looked at Gan Qingjia in shock. She stared blankly for a moment before she replied, “I, I am pregnant. But you don't have to be this unhappy right?”

In the next instant, Gan Qingjia froze. But, as soon as he recovered, he grinned like a fool, and Qi Jianqiu was lucky enough to witness this priceless expression of his.

Situ felt indignant, so he turned to head outside and on his way out, his gaze settled on the Eldritch Physician for a brief moment.

Xia Jingfeng had seemingly caught on and told Feng Luodi that he would be taking his leave.

Only then did Feng Luodi recover from her shock about Qi Jianqiu being pregnant. She was very happy for her best friend who was about to become a mother. She smiled as she sent Xia Jingfeng out.

After Xia Jingfeng left, Feng Luodi turned her head and saw Situ sitting under the Princess Tree covered in purple and white. He bent his back slightly and propped his chin with his hand, looking extremely relaxed.

Feng Luodi smiled lightly. He must be happy for Gan Qingjia who is about to become a father soon.

She only noticed the billowing complicated look in the recesses of Situ's eyes when she walked closer.

She blinked her eyes. She felt a little uncomfortable with Situ gazing fixedly at her like that, his gaze ardent and searing with expectations.

Her cheeks started to become scalding hot. However, tremendous waves of emotions surged from the surface of the lake and created ripples in her heart. It was just like the feathery feeling when one was drunk.

Just when Feng Luodi couldn't endure his gaze any longer, Situ finally spoke up while staring at her intently. “They're becoming parents, they even have a child now.”

Feng Luodi was taken aback for a moment, but then, she nodded and smiled wholeheartedly.

“I'm really happy for them. They weren't married for that long, yet they are already antic.i.p.ating their first child.”

“That's right.” Situ's voice was as light as a feather, giving Feng Luodi an illusory feeling that Situ was very far away from her.

“They're married and are expecting a child now.”

Feng Luodi blinked her eyes. Why did it feel like Situ's manner of speech was a bit weird today?

“I'm older than Qingjia by two years…”

Hearing this, Feng Luodi instantly understood Situ's unfinished words. Yet, he still hadn't gotten married nor did he have a child.

“Cough, cough.”

Feng Luodi dry coughed while looking left and right, no longer looking at Situ.

Situ's gaze gradually deepened and he called out in a voice filled with affection.

“Luodi.”

“Look, the two of them are done, they have come out.” Feng Luodi abruptly stood up and greeted Qi Jianqiu and Gan Qingjia who were walking side by side and laughing as they conversed happily.

“Finally made up?”

Feng Luodi smilingly peered at Qi Jianqiu and Gan Qingjia who were in extremely high spirits as she tried her best to ignore that burning hot gaze behind her.

The only wish she couldn't grant Situ was becoming his wife.

Qi Jianqiu looked bashful but her hands were placed at her abdomen and the look in her eyes was gentle.

Feng Luodi sighed almost inaudibly. Time really flies. Jianqiu was already married. Jianqiu was already pregnant. Even now, she could still recall Qi Jianqiu's aggrieved expression whenever she mentioned Gan Qingjia back then. The once quarrelsome but loving couple was now a doting married couple. Life is unpredictable and you never know what is coming next…

“Congratulations.”
