The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 218: Honey, You’re Right

Ian suddenly became nervous.

He tugged at his clothes, and the mischievousness between his brows was replaced by confusion.

"So... when are you going to have your little one?"

If she is going to have a little one, then the gifts he prepared for her will not be enough, right?

Once he’s offline, he definitely needs to snatch some presents from Archi!

Su Ruan never expected Ian to have this reaction.

Is it now a trend for friends to start urging childbirth!

She thought that since Lu Shinian’s parents were no longer around, she wouldn’t face any pressure to have children, but unexpectedly, she still couldn’t escape this step of being urged to start a family?

Su Ruan quickly glanced at Lu Shinian, seeing that there was some expectation in his eyes as he looked at her, she blushed slightly.

"About having little ones, let it happen naturally."

It’s not like she can have a little one just by wanting it, right?

Getting pregnant is not that easy.

Despite the fact that the average life expectancy of the interstellar people has reached 200 years, it comes with a frighteningly low birth rate.

On the Central Star, fewer than a thousand new babies are born each year, let alone on other planets.

Because of this, interstellar people cherish newborns very much and have established extremely strict laws: even attempted baby trafficking warrants lifetime imprisonment.

The universally accepted cause of the low birth rate is the impurities in Nutritional Supplements; although these impurities do not cause atavism in regular people, they are sufficient to impact human bodies, making it extremely difficult for women to become pregnant, thus leading to a fearfully low birth rate.

So, having a little one is really not something Su Ruan can control.

Ian didn’t know about these human matters, after all, the Insect Race is famously fertile, and they can have over ten offspring in a year if they want to, considering their short pregnancy and birth cycles without needing rest.

The Insect Race is indeed a very strong race.

Ian took a small breath of relief upon hearing what Su Ruan said.

"That’s good, you’re still young, there’s no rush to have a little one."

Ian casually calling her "little one" made Lu Shinian’s brows tighten with a bit of displeasure.

Ian appeared as if he was about twenty years old, about the same age as his Ruan Ruan, so why did he get to call her "little one"?

"Ian." Lu Shinian voiced, "My wife’s name is Su Ruan, not little one."

Ian responded with an "Oh," "But ’little one’ sounds nice."

"Besides, I’m much older than her."

Lu Shinian’s eyes flashed with annoyance, "How much older?"

Ian seriously calculated, "About a hundred years older."

Su Ruan: ?

Lu Shinian: ?

Su Ruan almost thought she heard wrong for a moment.

Ian looked just about twenty, yet he claimed to be a hundred years older than her?

That means Ian is 120 years old now?

Lu Shinian obviously didn’t believe Ian’s words either, but Ian raised a finger, swearing, "I swear by the name of the little one, everything I said is true, I’m 120 years old this year."

Although emotionally, Su Ruan found it a bit hard to believe Ian’s age, considering he belonged to the Hidden Clan, she still trusted what he said.

She whispered in Lu Shinian’s ear, "Hidden Clan."

Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly, reluctantly believing Ian.

Given Ian’s 120-year-old age, calling Ruan Ruan "little one" wasn’t unreasonable.

Yet, no matter what, the name felt off to him.

Ian’s ears slightly twitched, clearly having heard Su Ruan’s words.

He chuckled, thinking how clever he was before, even coming up with such a reason like the Hidden Clan.

"Oh, right." Ian glanced at Lu Shinian, "What’s this gentleman’s name?"

"Lu Shinian." He replied coolly.

Ian was slightly taken aback.

Lu Shinian?

Wasn’t he the person the little one mentioned last time?

So, last time the little one was looking for him.

Oh, right, Lu Shinian was also the human Commander who killed the Insect Queen ten years ago.

Impressive. Ian thought to himself, someone who could materialize spiritual power and even match him when he was at half power.

The little one should be safe by his side.

Thinking this, Ian cast a friendly look towards Lu Shinian.

Rubbing his hands together, he initiated peace, "It was fun fighting with you earlier; you’re quite impressive."

Lu Shinian glanced at him indifferently, "You’re impressive too."

No wonder he belonged to the Hidden Clan.

Ian raised a brow ambiguously.

Just as he was about to speak, a flash of white appeared, and a Nine Flame Crab materialized.

Ian: ...

Darn it! He forgot about the time limit in human form!

Lu Shinian glanced at the Nine Flame Crab, and his lips curved slightly, seemingly mocking his lack of control.

Ian felt somewhat dispirited from Lu Shinian’s gaze, reverting to his original form in front of the little one’s husband, especially since this person was Lu Shinian.

Lu Shinian had dealt with the Insect Race firsthand; if he recognized him as part of the Insect Race...

Ian’s heart trembled as he quickly transmitted to Su Ruan: [Little one, I’m leaving now! I’ll come to see you tomorrow!]

Then, Ian’s silhouette began to go transparent.

He went offline.

Su Ruan saw Ian go offline, tugged at Lu Shinian’s sleeve, and asked, "Brother Lu, why did you suddenly come online?"

"I finished handling military affairs." Lu Shinian’s gaze fell onto the little girl sitting on Su Ruan’s shoulder with pigtails, "Who’s this?"

Tangtang wiggled her little feet, speaking to Su Ruan: [Master, is this the master of Third Brother?]

[Yes.] Su Ruan replied while answering Lu Shinian’s question, "This is Tangtang."

After a pause, she further explained, "She is also Little Seven."

Lu Shinian nodded slightly, one of the seven major systems, Little Seven, was with Ruan Ruan; 003 was with him, and Su Heyuan might have a subsystem, it’s just unclear which Zero Zero number.

Several systems are still unaccounted for.

They haven’t been found over so many years, but there’s no rush.

[Master, I want to find Third Brother to play.] Tangtang said in a baby voice.

Su Ruan agreed.

Tangtang quickly burrowed into the digital world, going to find 003.

Watching Tangtang disappear, Lu Shinian raised a brow slightly, "You let her leave?"

"She went to play with 003." Su Ruan chuckled lightly, "Tangtang seems to have a good relationship with 003."

Lu Shinian’s gaze darkened, letting out a low laugh, "Yes, just like their masters."

His relationship with Ruan Ruan was indeed good, isn’t it?

Su Ruan nodded in agreement and lifted a broad smile, "You’re right~"

She slightly rose on tiptoes, leaning close to Lu Shinian’s ear.

Her warm breath sprayed onto his ear root, dyeing the cool white with a faint red hue, and her slightly pink lips parted softly.

"Hubby~"
