The news of Su Xiaofei's marriage to the new CEO of Lu Corporation filled the headlines for the next several days. Her office had been bombarded with invitations for interviews and several media personnel camped out in front of Bluemedia's headquarters, hoping to get a glimpse of the latest power couple in the country.

However, their attempts were in vain because Su Xiaofei hadn't been able to leave the ancestral Lu estate where she was now living with her husband, as the symptoms of her pregnancy had been keeping her from leaving.

Su Xiaofei was hovering over the sink inside the bathroom, throwing up the contents of her stomach. The delicious food she had eaten that morning was now being flushed down the drain and only the bitterness of the bile was left in her mouth.

"Should I give the Master a call and inform him of what's happening?" Zhang Ling asked as she pulled Su Xiaofei's hair away from her face as her mistress struggled to stay on her feet.

Su Xiaofei shook her head and gargled water to remove the nasty bitterness from her mouth. She had never experienced any of these when she fell pregnant in her previous life, but thought that maybe it was because Mo Yuchen didn't give her a chance to experience it as he had forced her to abort her pregnancy as soon as he found out.

"There's no need. Xi Qian should be arriving soon. It's nothing to worry about, Zhang Ling, but thank you for your concern."

Zhang Ling smiled and helped her mistress return to the bed and checked her temperature according to Xi Qian's instructions. As Su Xiaofei's pregnancy progressed, the poison in her bloodstream started to react to the sudden spike of her hormones, giving her mild fevers and chills that was enough to send her husband into a state of panic.

This was why she would rather wait for her best friend's return instead of informing Lu Qingfeng of her current condition. Unlike her, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't be able to take any leave from work since he had just assumed the highest position in their company. It would be difficult for him to be there and take care of her himself.

She fell asleep before Xi Qian arrived with Shi Mingli.

"How is she?" Xi Qian asked Zhang Ling as soon as she entered her best friend's bedroom. Her heart ached seeing the slight paleness on Su Xiaofei's complexion.

"She kept throwing up and couldn't keep anything in." Zhang Ling sighed, glancing at her mistress worriedly. She had brought home the documents that Su Xiaofei needed to see, but as soon as she saw her mistress making a beeline to the bathroom again, she knew that the paperwork would need to wait.

"It's normal, Miss Zhang. As long as there isn't any blood leaving her body, there's no need to panic." Shi Mingli said, before taking a seat next to the chair by the bed and checking Su Xiaofei's heartbeat.

"How is it?"

She was slightly relieved when Lu Qingfeng told her that Shi Mingli would be helping them look after Su Xiaofei. There's a limit to what she could do to help her best friend and having Shi Mingli, who was more familiar with the cold poison, meant that they were closer to finding the remedy for Su Xiaofei's illness.

"A little faster than normal. Both her pregnancy and the poison could do that. I'll brew something that could help her calm her upset stomach. This may persist for another week or two, so we better make sure that we replenish the nutrients she isn't able to take on her own."

Xi Qian nodded in agreement. Han Zijun had said the same thing and told her that he would leave the pregnancy matters to Shi Mingli while he continued to formulate the antidote. Xi Qian thought that he might have willingly stepped back, knowing that Lu Qingfeng wasn't comfortable having a man look after his wife. They all know how possessive that tyrant was. f𝑟e𝙚𝒘𝗲𝚋𝚗oѵ𝘦𝙡. c𝒐m

The next time Su Xiaofei rose from her sleep, she heard a giggling sound of a baby and she wondered if she was dreaming. It was only when she saw Shi Mingli seated next to the bed, holding Lu Junjie, did she realize that she was awake.

"Hi, Aunty Feifei. We've been waiting for you to wake up." Shi Mingli said playfully, waving her son's hand towards Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei pulled herself up, leaning against the headboard. She grunted when she saw the stack of papers left on the desk a couple of meters from where she was. She didn't need to ask Zhang Ling if those were the documents that needed her immediate attention.

"How are you feeling now? You've been asleep for at least five hours." Shi Mingli asked her while trying to placate her baby boy on her lap.

"I feel horrible." Su Xiaofei admitted with a grunt, feeling her stomach churning again, despite it being empty. "I know that this is normal for pregnant women, but why do we need to go through this?"

"Who knows? Even us traditional doctors cannot explain such wonders." Shi Mingli asked. "No one knows the real cause of morning sickness during pregnancy, but its severity varies among women."

"I'm kind of jealous of those women who don't suffer morning sickness, but if this means that my babies are developing well, I don't have any choice but endure it, right?" She smiled at the older woman. "I still can't believe that there are two lives living inside of me."

She rubbed her barely noticeable bump, her eyes softening as she wondered what her twins would look like. Su Xiaofei couldn't wait to find out their gender and how many traits they get from Lu Qingfeng and how adorable they could be.

For the first time since her rebirth, Su Xiaofei wanted to have something so desperately. Perhaps she was lucky that it was Lu Qingfeng whom she married this time and not the scumbag who took everything from her in her previous life.

Su Xiaofei couldn't think of anything but her children now and how much she wanted to live to be able to see them grow and spend the rest of her life with Lu Qingfeng. She believed that she was reborn for a reason, and she wouldn't put it to waste by chasing after the revenge that not only could ruin her life, but also hurt her loved ones.

"None of us are prepared to become parents. You know, when I married Lu Mingzhe, I told him that we cannot have a child until I'm able to settle the problem my grandfather started." She then chuckled and lifted up her chubby little boy for Su Xiaofei to see.

"But look at this bundle of joy. He's simply perfect and I'm willing to do everything for his sake. I just hope that when he grows up, he will never doubt our love for him."

Lu Junjie made a high pitch squeal and waved his chubby arms, wanting to be held by Su Xiaofei. Shi Mingli gently brought him down the bed and the young boy struggled to crawl towards her aunt. Both women let out a laugh when he cried midway, noticing that he wasn't making any progress.

Su Xiaofei took pity on him and picked him up, allowing Lu Junjie to sit on her lap and gently brushed his thin hair with her fingers.

"I'm sure he wouldn't. He would grow up as a young, handsome man who has a heart that listens to others and a mind that could see beyond deceit." Su Xiaofei commented, knowing how much Lu Junjie missed his parents, even after Lu Qingfeng adopted him. The young boy would never admit it to anyone, but he would speak of his woes and grievances to his parent's photograph whenever he could.

"Xiao Jun, I hope you'll be good friends with my babies in the future. Be a good big brother to them, okay? If they start to fight over something trivial, you have to be patient with them. You have to wait for a few months though before you can play with them."

Lu Junjie burst into laughter as if he understood her words, while his mother looked at Su Xiaofei with worry.

"Xiaofei, I want to apologize to you." She said, knowing that merely saying sorry wouldn't change anything.

"Sister Mingli, is there a need for you to apologize? You've really been a good help to us these days."

"No. I'm apologizing for my family's misdeeds. If my grandfather didn't make that poison, you wouldn't be in this dangerous situation with your twins." Shi Mingli replied with a downcast expression on her face.

"Now that you mention it. Why did your grandfather make such a poison? Did he want to kill someone so badly?" Su Xiaofei asked out of curiosity. "But you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I'm merely curious about his reason."
