This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 233 Xia Ning is about to give birth

Lin Feng gently tapped the tip of her nose with his fingertip: "Xia, are you just stirring up trouble?"

Xia Ning wrinkled her nose and pouted slightly: "Then tell me, what's the deal with Mengmeng and Vivian? Didn't you just accept it all?"

"How can this be the same?" Lin Feng said seriously, but there was a soft light in his eyes. "Mengmeng is your long-lost best friend. I'm doing this... a roundabout way to help you two rekindle your relationship."

Xia Ning was amused by his "righteous" twisted logic and lightly punched his shoulder:

"So you're saying you're 'cuckolding' me and you're even feeling a sense of mission about it? Mr. Lin, your logic is truly unique."

"Ahem, it's the situation that forces us to, the situation that forces us to." Lin Feng touched his nose, making a gesture of surrender. "Some situations are truly... beyond our control."

Looking at his hesitant yet sincere expression, Xia Ning's little bit of resentment dissipated, and she let out a soft sigh: "Okay, okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent and stared intently at Lin Feng.

The warm yellow light fell into her eyes, making them resemble obsidian that had been moistened with water, churning with complex and indescribable emotions.

There is understanding, heartache, attachment, and a hint of suppressed, burning passion.

She didn't speak again, but simply tilted her head slightly, her gaze direct and intense as she looked into his eyes:

"Honey, kiss me!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng obediently lowered his head and gently covered those two soft, slightly cool lips with his own.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Xia Ning's cheeks flushed, her eyes were unfocused, she bit her lower lip, and her voice carried a hint of longing:

"Honey, how about..."

As the words were about to come out, her rationality seemed to return somewhat, and her gaze fell on her swollen belly, where their unborn child was located.

She finally shook her head: "Never mind... it wouldn't be good if the baby got hurt. Besides..."

She smiled mischievously. "You still have to go see Mengmeng at 10:30. It's not good to be late on the first day."

Lin Feng reached out and gently stroked her flushed cheeks, saying softly, "I was just chatting with her, nothing else. Don't overthink it."

"I don't believe you for a second." Xia Ning rolled her eyes at him, her gaze clearly saying, "I know you too well."

"Besides, even if you can resist, she definitely can't."

"Mengmeng looks cold, but deep down... humph, she's as hot as lava! You two just got together... there's no way she'll let you off the hook!"

A scene of being forcefully "trained" by Leng Meng flashed before Lin Feng's eyes, and his ears burned slightly.

As expected of her deskmate, Xia Ning's understanding of Leng Meng was indeed spot on.

Xia Ning noticed his shifty gaze and knew she had guessed right. She was both annoyed and amused, and gave him a hard shove.

"Alright, alright, stop dawdling here pretending to be nice, go on your way."

"Don't make Mengmeng impatient and unhappy. She just arrived, and she might still be feeling anxious."

Lin Feng sat up, still somewhat hesitant: "Then you'll be alone..."

"Oh, everything's fine here. I'll call a nanny if needed. You should go now!"

Lin Feng leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Xia Ning's smooth forehead, whispering:

"Okay, you should get some rest. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Xia Ning waved her hand, then shrank into the blanket, leaving only her smiling eyes showing.

Lin Feng tucked her in, then got up, tiptoed out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

The corridor was silent as Lin Feng walked up the stairs to the third floor.

He stopped in front of Leng Meng's door, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door.

The door opened almost immediately.

Upon seeing Leng Meng standing behind the door, Lin Feng felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

The cold lemon inside the door had clearly been carefully "prepared".

She changed into a striking outfit—

The jet-black, leather-textured high-heeled boots tightly hugged the calves, with sharp, pointed heels.

She wore a matching tight-fitting leather crop top that accentuated her stunning curves, with a neckline that revealed a glimpse of fair skin and delicate collarbones.

She paired it with a leather mini skirt with some cutouts on the sides, the hem of which barely covered the top of her thighs, fully showing off her long and straight legs.

The most dangerous thing was that she was also loosely holding a small black leather whip in her hand, the tip of the whip swaying unconsciously between her fingers.

She leaned against the door frame, her face still that of aloof and stunning beauty, but now her eyes burned with two intense flames, and her red lips curved slightly, carrying a dangerous smile.

Lin Feng subconsciously swallowed, his voice a little dry: "Mengmeng... what's wrong...?"

Leng Meng's thin lips curved slightly, and with a flick of her wrist, the leather whip lashed through the air, making a sharp "crack" sound.

"You little rascal, you're something else!" She looked up at Lin Feng, a cold, ambiguous smile playing on her lips. "You've kept two beautiful wives hidden from me perfectly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her wrist again, and the whip cracked softly once more.

"Tonight... I have to teach you a lesson so you remember—what you should say and what you shouldn't hide."

Lin Feng's face instantly contorted with panic, and he quickly waved his hands, begging for mercy:

"Oh? Honey, don't be impulsive! You're pregnant, this kind of movement will harm the baby!"

He claimed to be scared, but inside he was overjoyed.

This isn't a lesson at all; it's clearly... the "reward" he'd been longing for!

........................

Nine days later, the clock quietly struck ten.

The mansion was quiet and still, with the warm yellow light of the bedside lamp casting a soft glow. Lin Feng lay on his side next to Xia Ning, one hand gently resting on her pregnant belly.

A deep, gentle voice flowed slowly as Lin Feng read a fairy tale book, his words filled with affection, as if he were whispering to the little one in his womb.

Xia Ning leaned lazily against the pillow, her eyes filled with the tenderness of someone about to become a mother, and she gradually became lost in thought as she listened.

Suddenly, a warm liquid uncontrollably slid down between her legs, soaking the sheets beneath her.

She froze, her gentle expression instantly replaced by panic, and she reached out to tightly grasp Lin Feng's sleeve:

"Honey, my...my water broke!"

Lin Feng's heart sank, and the sound of him reading the story abruptly stopped.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment. He pressed the emergency call button on the bedside table with one hand and held Xia Ning's shoulder firmly with the other, reassuring her in a calm tone: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Within seconds of pressing the call button, the door was pushed open, and the butler, Laifu, led several well-trained servants in, already prepared with a folded stretcher and clean maternity pads.

The group moved swiftly and carefully, transferring Xia Ning onto the stretcher.

Just then, Leng Meng, Vivian, and Su Wan also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Upon learning that Xia Ning was about to give birth, the three women unanimously said they would go to the hospital to accompany her.

Lin Feng, concerned that the three women were also pregnant and worried that the journey would be too tiring and harm their babies, quickly advised them:

"Just stay home and wait. I'll keep an eye on things at the hospital. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news, so don't bother with anything else!"
