Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 668 - 567: Pregnant? (Third Update)_2

"Haha... Who told you that?"

"Zhi Lan’s old friends. A few days ago, we were drinking together, and these guys teased me after a few drinks. They’ve figured out I wouldn’t dare do anything to them."

"Well, that makes sense. Zhi Lan’s old friends are like her maternal family. If they don’t tease you, who else would they tease? Zhi Lan is capable, but she’s still a woman. No big decision in your household can be made without your final approval. As for Luowa, you’ve indeed raised a great daughter. Sometimes, I even envy you. When it comes to helping, honestly, we can’t provide much assistance either. We’re Summer Witches after all, so there’s a limit to how much we can do. Haotian’s future growth still depends on you. After tomorrow’s banquet, many countries will want to discuss business with you. You should sift through them carefully; don’t set the threshold too low."

"Alright." Emperor Haotian nodded.

While Emperor Haotian was expressing his gratitude to Long Che, Empress Haotian was also at home thanking Tong Yao.

Tong Yao interrupted her before she could even finish, calling over her daughter-in-law. "Your mom’s been going on and on with me about family matters, and I really can’t take it anymore."

Yi Luowa giggled. "Mom, I heard it all. What my mom says isn’t wrong, but saying it too much makes it feel distant."

"That mouth of yours, always making sure not to offend anyone." Tong Yao chuckled, giving her a light pat on the arm.

Empress Haotian glanced at her daughter and, smiling, told her son, "Danton, go check how everyone’s doing. It’s about time for us to have dinner."

"Alrighty, I’ll head there right now." Danton, still carrying Ziyan on his back, tried to get up.

Ziyan grabbed onto his uncle’s collar tightly. "No, no, no, no..."

"Your uncle’s taking you with him, what are you fussing about!" Danton laughed, playfully bumping Ziyan’s forehead with his own.

Ziyan stretched out his little neck, waiting for another bump, and when Danton didn’t do it, he furrowed his little brows and started whining.

Yi Luowa cleared her throat softly.

Ziyan turned to look at his mother. Seeing her giving him a stern look, he quickly turned to his grandmother for help.

"Haha, he knows exactly who can handle his mom." Empress Haotian laughed and said, "This little rascal reminds me of Danton when he was little. Just a few months old and he was already doing more than a typical one-year-old. If not for falling sick later..."

Tong Yao gripped her hand tightly. "Let’s not talk about sad things. Thankfully, Danton wasn’t delayed. I heard you got him quite a few tutors. His academic achievements now are no less than Luowa’s."

"You two chat. I’m off to call everyone for dinner." Yi Luowa said as she zipped away.

"Sis, Mom asked me to call everyone." Danton ran after her, carrying Ziyan.

Tong Yao smiled at Empress Haotian. "Do you know why your daughter ran off?"

Empress Haotian laughed. "I heard her second uncle say that Luowa doesn’t like to study. She probably felt embarrassed."

Tong Yao nodded with a chuckle. "She studies when she wants to, and doesn’t when she doesn’t."

"That’s my fault." Yi Weiyang walked in, supporting Huo Li. "If I had been stricter and kept her from hanging around with Huo Li, she’d definitely have accomplished more."

Huo Li shot him a disgruntled look. "I could say it was Piggy who led me astray!"

Empress Haotian walked over with a laugh and helped Huo Li into a seat on the sofa. "You’ve worked hard this time. Flying all the way here while pregnant."

Huo Li grinned. "Piggy and I have been close since childhood. How could I miss such a big occasion? Luckily, I have a strong constitution, so I didn’t even feel tired."

"Luowa is fortunate to have a friend like you." Empress Haotian smiled and said, "Luowa has faced hardships, but she’s also lucky, encountering people like you on her journey. Without you all, she wouldn’t have such a good life today. I really must thank you all once again."

"We’re all family. No need for so many thank-yous." Huo Li said with a smile, gently stroking her belly.

Sang Yu, sitting in Yan Zi’s lap, mimicked Huo Li and gently patted her own belly.

Yan Zi was immediately in stitches, and the room erupted in laughter.

After laughing to her heart’s content, Yan Zi sighed lightly. "Watching you all have kids one after another, yet our two aren’t making any moves."

Tong Yao smiled and asked, "Didn’t Joyina say she’d try for a baby after finishing her movie?"

"The film’s done, but now they’re busy promoting it everywhere. Where’s the time? Honestly, it’s for the best. I’ll help you with these two first."

"And how long exactly are you planning to raise them? Seven or eight years? I say let them hurry and have kids. We can raise them together, just like when we looked after Airui and the others growing up."

Yan Zi shook her head helplessly. "That’s not something we can decide for them."

Yan Zi was eagerly looking forward to being a grandmother. During dinner, Youyou and Joyina gave her a huge surprise!

As everyone entered the dining room and just sat down, Joyina ran out covering her nose.

Empress Haotian immediately followed her. "What’s wrong? Is there something you don’t like? I’ll have it removed."

Mi Chenshuo explained, "It’s not that. Aunt Zhi Lan, please go ahead and eat. Joyina just got back from the airport and feels a bit carsick. She’ll be fine after a bit."

Yan Zi and Tong Yao also stepped out. Hearing Mi Chenshuo, neither thought much of it.

Yan Zi said, "Shuoshuo, take Joyina to rest for a bit. She can eat when she feels hungry."

"Ugh..." Joyina had been about to apologize to everyone, but as soon as her hand loosened, the smell from the dining room hit her nose. She couldn’t hold back and almost threw up.

Youyou and Mi Chenxuan walked in hand-in-hand. Seeing Joyina almost in tears from dry heaving, Youyou teased with a grin, "Joyina, don’t tell me you’re pregnant? If so, congratulations are in order!"

Everyone froze.

Yan Zi anxiously looked at Joyina. "When was your last period?"

Joyina’s lips twitched as she glanced at Mi Chenshuo. Pinching her nose, she asked, "I don’t remember. Do you?"

Mi Chenshuo stood there dumbfounded for a long moment. "I think it’s been a while."

Yan Zi rolled her eyes at her son and daughter-in-law. "With you two like this, what can you even remember!"

Empress Haotian laughed and said, "Shuoshuo, quickly help Joyina sit down. I’ll call the doctor over immediately. If there really is, this is fantastic news!"

Seeing Empress Haotian pull out her phone, Joyina pinched her nose and looked at Mi Chenshuo. "Could I really be?"

Mi Chenshuo was already dazed and didn’t respond for a long time.

"Honey, let’s not just stand here gawking at these two fools. They don’t even know if they’re pregnant! Honestly, what can I even say about her—What’s that smell?! Ugh—"

Youyou had just walked into the dining room, but turned and bolted out immediately, covering her mouth.

Tong Yao and Yan Zi exchanged skeptical looks. "You’re carsick too?"

"No, it’s the sour smell in the dining room... Ugh—"

This time, Yi Luowa couldn’t keep her calm anymore. She left Danton and their grandmother to mind the kids and ran out herself. "What’s wrong with you two? The sour smell is from the pickled fish. Don’t you both love that dish at home?"

"Ugh—" At the mention of pickled fish, Joyina couldn’t hold back and started retching again.

"Sis, please don’t say another word. It’s making my stomach turn... Ugh—" Youyou dashed straight into the restroom. Yi Luowa blinked in surprise. "Auntie, don’t tell me these two... really are both pregnant!"
