Ling Zhenfei knew this was a severe pregnancy reaction for Xu Yuyu.

"It's okay, it's all normal. The symptoms will gradually decrease over time."

"There's another thing that's making me really uncomfortable," Xu Yuyu continued.

"What else is bothering you? What happened?" Ling Zhenfei didn't know what was wrong with Xu Yuyu.

Xu Yuyu said, "Isn't it because you give out that Elixir at night? Such good elixirs, why aren't you giving them to me? Instead, everyone else has them."

Xu Yuyu, while pregnant, was still concerned about the Beauty Pill. But then again, Xu Yuyu was a big star and naturally took great care of her appearance.

"Or, how about you wait until after you've had the baby to take the Beauty Pill?" Ling Zhenfei said, worried the elixir might affect the pregnancy.

Xu Yuyu, displeased, said, "No way, I want to take the Beauty Pill right now. You know I'm an actress. I don't want to get old after having the baby and then only play roles of mature women."

"Alright, I'll mail the Beauty Pill to you as soon as possible." Ling Zhenfei decided, thinking that, since it was made from natural herbs, it shouldn't affect the baby.

Xu Yuyu became happier, "That's more like it. Finally showing some fatherly qualities."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei grew slightly worried again, "Speaking so directly like this to me—aren't you afraid someone will hear?"

Xu Yuyu replied with a smile, "You can be even more assured. I only call you this when I'm sure no one is around. How about it, does it make you feel good when I call you that?"

"What's there to feel good about? I only get worried when I hear that. You're saying he really has no suspicions?" Ling Zhenfei asked filled with concern.

"Ling Zhenfei, you worry too much. Let me be honest, even if he knew the child wasn't his, he would still treat it as his own. Did you not see the posters about Big Rewards for a Child?"

"Aren't those Big Rewards for a Child usually scams?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"What scams? Let me tell you, some are real. I know someone who had his wife get pregnant this way," Xu Yuyu explained.

"Well, that's just too messy," Ling Zhenfei felt it was quite unbelievable.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Xu Yuyu asked Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment. He didn't really favor one over the other: "Boy or girl, I like them both."

Xu Yuyu laughed heartily, "Right, if the baby really is born, this should be your first child, right?"

"That's right, indeed it's the first." Thinking about this, Ling Zhenfei was quite excited.

"It's largely my doing, how are you going to thank me?" Xu Yuyu's voice was playful, sounding very different from her TV star persona.

"Alright, you say how I should thank you, and I'll do it." Speaking of which, Xu Yuyu really did deserve a good thank-you.

Xu Yuyu's voice suddenly became calm: "Do you know what I regret the most? Getting pregnant too quickly. That night with you is still vivid in my mind, I didn't expect to get pregnant that quickly."

Xu Yuyu's tone turned coquettish, "It would have been great to have a few more times with you. After I've had the baby, won't you disdain me?"

"How could I? You've done a great deed; how could I ever scorn you?"

Xu Yuyu's voice was still somewhat displeased, "So do you want me to call you husband, or the baby's father?"

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. This question was truly a tough one to answer. Although it might seem trivial, the implications were significant now. If it was to call him the child's father, then it implied that all ties between Xu Yuyu and Ling Zhenfei revolved solely around the child.

Even though the situation indeed was such, Ling Zhenfei couldn't escape admitting it. Xu Yuyu would definitely be unhappy, at least for now.

If Xu Yuyu were to call him husband, then the relationship would transform into a personal connection between Xu Yuyu and Ling Zhenfei alone, and Xu Yuyu would surely be happy. But Xu Yuyu was already married, with a legitimate husband.

Ling Zhenfei already felt guilty. Even though Xu Yuyu had arranged it all, the thought of impregnating a married woman troubled him greatly.

"Of course, you should call me whatever makes you happy,"

Eventually, Ling Zhenfei could only resort to this tactic to deal with the situation.

Smiling, Xu Yuyu said, "Then I'll call you husband from now on. By the way, if that man finds out and wants a divorce, you'll take care of me and our child, right?"

"Of course, you just be assured," Ling Zhenfei knew that Xu Yuyu was testing him again.

"That's good, then I'm relieved. Let's leave it at that, but don't forget my elixir—I've told you, I am the mother of your first child; our relationship should be the closest. You should think of me first whenever you have something good and not make me call to remind you."

"Okay, understood, it definitely won't happen from now on."

After chatting a bit more, they hung up the phone. When Ling Zhenfei hung up, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart—he was going to be a father, which was quite unexpected.

Just as Ling Zhenfei was pondering about what his future child would look like, Han Yunfeng suddenly ran out of the hospital room.

"Divine Doctor Ling, Xiao Lian is awake."

Hearing Han Yufeng's words, Ling Zhenfei quickly ran towards the hospital room.

Han Lian had indeed awakened and showed a sweet smile upon seeing Ling Zhenfei.

"Han Lian, you're finally awake. Everyone has been so worried," Ling Zhenfei was also very happy, once again affirming the miraculous effects of the life-extending pill.

Han Lian stared blankly at Ling Zhenfei, opened her mouth to speak, and Ling Zhenfei leaned close to hear her words clearly.

"I knew that with you around, I wouldn't die."

Although it was just such a simple sentence, Han Lian's voice lacked strength as she spoke it.

"Rest assured, you're fine now, and with proper rest, you will fully recover soon."

Damage to the internal organs isn't so easily cured by a single elixir; she still needed time to recuperate.

Ling Zhenfei stood up to let Han Yunfeng and Zhang Qin take a good look at their daughter, knowing that Han Lian was awake was enough for him.

After briefly instructing Han Yunfeng and Zhang Qin on the necessary precautions, Ling Zhenfei then left the hospital room, put on a large mask over his face, and walked out of the hospital.

It was evening now, the streetlights just coming on, and Ling Zhenfei had another very important matter to attend to—he needed to visit Zhenhua Nightclub to find this person named Brother Teng.

Although Han Lian had awakened, Ling Zhenfei still had some doubts about her situation. Why wouldn't those people let Han Lian go, bent on ending her life?

Could it be the same as before, because Han Lian had received some crucial information? Ling Zhenfei wasn't sure. Since Han Lian had just awakened, Ling Zhenfei hadn't had the chance to ask her, but finding Brother Teng was definite.
