The King's Enchanting

Yu Zexiao frowned as well: "Anning, I need to practice. If you’re not going to, could you please be a little quieter?"

"I..." Jian Anning never expected to be considered "noise" one day. Of course, she couldn’t just leave. Jian Anning steadied herself, sat next to him, and really started practicing the piano piece with him.

Yu Zexiao, a few years later, was very different from before. When he worked, he was particularly focused and charming. Especially now, when he was playing a new song he had composed himself.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting a golden edge around him. Yu Zexiao’s once overly handsome face, now seasoned by time, had fermented into an extraordinarily captivating charm. She knew he was attractive, but would he, like other men, become disdainful and eventually cheat once he achieved success and fame?

It seemed that Chen Qinruo wasn’t particularly clingy to him, and he didn’t show any special signs either, but she always felt that the feeling of mutual intimacy between them was being ruthlessly torn apart. Although it hadn’t started yet, signs were showing.

No, she had to examine this carefully. After all, they weren’t married yet. If he really had a change of heart... breaking up would be less painful than a divorce.

With that thought, she felt a little calmer. Rather than causing a scene without reason, observing first might be wiser.

Thinking this way, Jian Anning naturally didn’t tell Yu Zexiao about her plans of wanting to get pregnant. She held back for now, observing closely.

On the surface, it seemed that Chen Qinruo truly had no intention of getting especially close to Yu Zexiao. Although they were under her watchful eye and couldn’t stir up much trouble, when Jian Anning pretended to go out to get water and secretly peeked back, the two still had no interaction.

It was the same at lunchtime. Shen Lanxiao was warm to Chen Qinruo, but it only seemed like a welcoming host greeting a guest. Perhaps Jian Anning misjudged because Shen Lanxiao had previously been too strict about the young women around her son?

From what she observed, on the first day, Yu Zexiao and Chen Qinruo didn’t appear to have any issues. But it’s hard to say for sure; she needed to observe more.

On the second day, while visiting Zhao Ziyin, Jian Anning stared at her belly for a long time, wanting to say something but hesitating. Her strange attitude puzzled Zhao Ziyin, "What’s wrong with you? Your look makes me feel like I’m pregnant with a Superhero Kid rather than a baby."

"No, it’s not that." Jian Anning shook her head, finally looking up after a while to ask her, "What would you do if, and I’m just saying if, Mo Siyu cheated?"

"What are you saying!" Zhao Ziyin immediately jumped up. She was quick-tempered and being pregnant with raging hormones made her even more so, "He, dares, to, cheat?"

"I’m just saying if, where did your mind go?" Jian Anning quickly reassured her, "Mo Siyu treats you so well; how could he possibly cheat? No need to get worked up."

"Even ’if’ isn’t allowed!" Zhao Ziyin fumed.
