Chapter 36

Unedited

However, sitting in the corner was not convenient for talking. Although Yi Nuo was reluctant, he still got up and sat across the desk.

The emperor frowned but didn’t say anything. He just went straight to the topic, “Yue Chuanlin has just come to propose a marriage for Yue Zhan. I heard that you are going to marry Yue Zhan?”

“It’s an engagement.” Yi Nuo emphasized sullenly.

“Oh.” The emperor didn’t care.

The child was already there, wasn’t engagement the same as marriage?

He took another look at Yi Nuo and asked, “Aren’t you pregnant?”

Yi Nuo: “…” Don’t mention this sad thing again. His little fish treasure is gone, gone!

Oh, it’s all the author’s fault! Why write about it if he didn’t have it in the first place? He has bought small clothes for the baby…

If it wasn’t the emperor who asked this question, he really wanted to vent his anger, but… the other party was the emperor after all.

Yi Nuo quickly glanced at the other party, then lowered his head, and said in a sullen tone, “I’m not pregnant.”

Not pregnant? The emperor was suspicious. He clearly heard that… this little guy had been buying baby products recently.

Forget it. Yi Nuo wasn’t his son, so he didn’t care much. Everything was fine as long as the other party was willing to marry Yue Zhan and win over Yue’s family for the royal family.

Thinking of this, the emperor coughed lightly and said solemnly, “Whether you are pregnant or not, the engagement should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. I will ask Lu Xien to arrange it for you later.”

Lu Xien was the internal affairs officer of the imperial palace, and asking him to take charge of the engagement meant it was going to be a big deal.

But after Yi Nuo heard this, he said in a muffled voice, “I don’t want to get engaged.”

The emperor choked and immediately said angrily: “Nonsense. If you don’t want to get engaged, why did you ask for it before? You caused this yourself.”

The high-ranking officials and nobles of the Imperial Capital Star already know that the two of you are together.

If he didn’t have the egg in his arms, the emperor might be so angry that he would stand up directly.

Yi Nuo looked up at him, pursed the corners of his lips tightly, and didn’t speak.

Seeing this, the emperor became angrier and asked in a deep voice, “Why don’t you want to get engaged? Did Yue Zhan bully you?”

Although he didn’t care about Yi Nuo, he also knew that this cheap little son had little ability and was in poor health.

In the Emperor’s impression, Yi Nuo was weak and couldn’t take care of himself. After thinking about it, he could only be bullied.

As soon as Yue Zhan came to the door of the Emperor’s office, he vaguely heard the words “not engaged”, and his heart sank again.

His eyes darkened, and he said to the secretary who stopped him, “Please inform His Majesty that I’m here. I have a few words to say to the little prince.”

The secretary nodded and dialed the emperor’s internal line.

Soon, he hung up the phone, opened the door for Yue Zhan, and said, “Major General Yue, please.”

After Yue Zhan went in, he quietly looked at Yi Nuo, who had a straight back, and then saluted the Emperor.

When Yi Nuo heard his voice, his back suddenly stiffened.

I’m so unlucky, Yue Zhan came.

The other party already knew that he wasn’t pregnant. Would he think he was a liar who cheated on food, drink, sex, and marriage?

After all, he asked the other party to grill fish, stew soup, serve him in bed, and massage him because of carrying a cub, but he wasn’t pregnant at all. No matter how you looked at it, he was unreasonable in this matter.

And Yue Zhan wanted to get engaged to him just for the baby’s sake, right? When he proposed to marry him in the barren star, the other party said he would marry him because they had a child…

Thinking of this, Yi Nuo felt uncomfortable, and his bad mood became worse.

Look at what he has done these days. He was cheated by a book. He was a little foolish, woo~

In the room, the Emperor’s face had eased a lot, but when he spoke, his tone was still displeased, and he said, “Yue Zhan, you came just in time. Yi Nuo just said that he didn’t want to get engaged. Did you bully him?”

Although Yi Nuo wasn’t his own, he was a real son in name. He wanted to win over the Yue family by marriage, but he didn’t want to sell his son. He hadn’t been married yet. If Yue Zhan dared to bully the prince, wouldn’t that mean he didn’t take the Emperor seriously?

Yue Zhan wasn’t a reckless man who only knew how to fight and didn’t know how to discern what someone thought from his body language. He naturally understood the meaning of the Emperor’s words.

But he was more worried about the little prince at the moment. He just wanted to take Yi Nuo away as soon as possible and ask for clarification.

Therefore, he simply admitted, “I neglected His Highness recently, which made him misunderstand me. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will explain and apologize to His Highness. The engagement… Please continue as usual.”

Hearing this, Yi Nuo finally turned his head to look at Yue Zhan for the first time after he entered the office, with surprise in his eyes.

The Emperor was very satisfied with Yue Zhan’s attitude, and the displeasure in his eyes dissipated. He waved his hand and said, “Since it is a misunderstanding, explain it clearly. Yi Nuo is a prince. Sometimes he may have a little temper, which was caused by his mother’s indulgence, but it’s not a big problem. You should be more tolerant of him.”

Yi Nuo slandered in his heart: Are you qualified to say this? You just made it up. You don’t know me at all.

After the Emperor finished speaking, he also looked at him, and continued to preach, “So do you, Yi Nuo. When young couples fall in love, they talk about breaking up at every turn. You have to understand each other.”

After speaking, he waved his hand and let the two leave.

When the door of the office closed, the emperor touched the egg in his arms again and sighed, “If you could break the shell and grow so big, you would definitely be more obedient and obedient than that boy, right?”

Yi Nuo and Yue Zhan left the office one after the other. Outside, Yi Nuo still kept his head down and was in a low mood. He didn’t dare to look at Yue Zhan.

This wasn’t a place to talk, Yue Zhan took his hand and walked forward, turning around, finally arriving at Yi Nuo’s bedroom.

Yi Nuo was surprised and said, “How do you know I live here?”

Yue Zhan lowered his head, fixed his hair for him, smiled softly, and said, “When I was young, I played with His Highness here to catch butterflies and wave a small sword.”

“Huh?” Yi Nuo was very surprised.

He had no impression of this at all.

Yue Zhan shook his head and said, “His Royal Highness was just able to walk at that time and couldn’t speak clearly. It’s normal to not remember it.”

Yue Zhan was only eleven or twelve years old at the time. He came to the imperial palace with his mother for the first time, but he got lost accidentally. He was very frightened and scared. Then, a cute and lovely little dumpling came out of the flowers and threw itself onto his legs.

Close behind, someone shouted, “Little Highness”…

Yue Zhan thought he had forgotten about such a memory long ago. But when he revisited the old place and came here again, the picture in his mind suddenly became clear.

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips could not help but bend. It turned out that the fate between him and His Highness had already begun.

However, Yi Nuo was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking—

[Didn’t I wear open-crotch pants at that time?]

Yue Zhan: “…”

This little guy is really good at ruining the atmosphere.

Yue Zhan took his hand, walked directly to the palace’s entrance, and asked, “Can His Highness invite me in and sit down?”

Yi Nuo hesitated but still pushed the door open and invited him in.

The two sat down on the sofa in the living room. The servant stepped forward, poured tea for them, and quickly withdrew.

Yue Zhan held the tea, considered it for a moment, and asked, “Why does His Highness suddenly not want to get engaged? Are you… angered by the actions required to take care of the baby?”

Yi Nuo had done countless psychological constructions along the way. However, he couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable when Yue Zhan mentioned the baby. He turned his head and said in a muffled voice, “You already know about it, and you came to laugh at me.”

He knew he had drunk Yue Zhan’s fish soup and Mother Yue’s stewed chicken soup, but he was not pregnant. He was so stupid that he was tricked by a fake book and wanted to cry.

Yue Zhan thought to himself: how could I come to laugh at you? It was too late for him to be happy. If the little prince were not pregnant, it would be difficult to talk about the engagement. But the good news was that the little prince was indeed pregnant, so it was worth it when he helped to take care of the baby…cough.

Yue Zhan coughed lightly and said, “Although the baby didn’t exist at the beginning, it was conceived when we were taking care of it…”

Yi Nuo: “???”

“What did you say? What happened when we were taking care of it?” Yi Nuo asked in shock.

Yue Zhan: “…”

He hesitated for a second and repeated, “You got pregnant with a baby when we took care of it.”

Yi Nuo: “What did I get pregnant with when we took care of it?”

Yue Zhan hesitated, “Baby.”

“Am I pregnant with… a baby?” Yi Nuo was uncertain.

He was afraid of being cheated. After thinking about it, he couldn’t help but confirm and ask, “Are you sure I am, am, pregnant with a baby?”

“Yes.” Yue Zhan nodded, puzzled, “Didn’t I tell His Highness on the phone before? You didn’t get pregnant in Blue Star, but in the barren star…”

How could Yi Nuo be in the mood to listen to Yue Zhan back then? When he heard he wasn’t pregnant, he hung up the phone.

Holding the teacup, he sat blankly for a long time. Then he suddenly said with surprise, “So, the little fish treasure is still there?”

“Little fish treasure?”

Yue Zhan reminisced twice in his heart and thought, is this the nickname that the little prince gave to their child?

It was… cute, as cute as the little prince. In Yue Zhan’s heart, the little prince was also a little fish treasure.

“Of course.” He nodded and said, “The doctor showed me the test sheet, and all the indicators are normal. The baby should be very healthy.”

Yi Nuo: “…”

He was stunned for a long time and then asked, “Is the test sheet correct?”

Yue Zhan: “?”

Yi Nuo: “Or, is the blood sample correct?”

He was really scared of being deceived.

Yue Zhan: “This…”

Why was the little prince’s focus so strange?

To be reassured, the two went to the hospital again.

This time, they watched the doctor check with their own eyes and finally confirmed that they were indeed pregnant.

“Congratulations to the two of you. You are four weeks pregnant.” The doctor who helped them check was the friend of Yue Zhan’s brother.

The doctor looked at Yue Zhan as usual, but when he looked at the little prince… he was a little puzzled.

Because he discovered that the person who was dissatisfied with the date this time became the little prince.

“Four weeks, it’s actually four weeks?” Yi Nuo began to doubt life.

So, he wasn’t pregnant at first, but because he insisted on finding Yue Zhan to take care of it, he got pregnant?

But the way of taking care of the baby was also written in that book, right?

Damn, he wanted to beat up the author again. He hated that he couldn’t travel through time and space.

And Zhong Xiwu, the quack doctor lied to him, saying that he was pregnant and needed Yue Zhan’s help to take care of the baby.

Although it was good that the little fish treasure was still there, when he thought of the stupidity he committed when he was deceived, he wanted to hit people.

Fortunately, Yue Zhan didn’t know. Otherwise, he would have laughed to death.

When Yue Zhan saw the little prince suddenly angry like a puffer fish, he hurriedly took him out, and asked carefully, “Is His Highness unhappy that the child was conceived in the barren star?”

Of course, Yi Nuo was not happy. How could he be happy when he did all those stupid things?

But thinking of the baby, he hesitated and said, “It’s okay.”

At least the little fish treasure was still there, and he didn’t buy those little clothes for nothing.

Yue Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, finally brought up the key point, and asked again, “Then why… why does Your Highness… suddenly don’t want to get engaged?”

After a pause, he added: “Didn’t we agree to raise the child together?”

Yi Nuo: “…”

That’s not…he thought he wasn’t pregnant, and there was also the matter of the book…

When he thought about this, he couldn’t help complaining—

[You don’t understand, I was deceived, I am not the son of luck of the plane QAQ]

Yue Zhan: “???”
