Volume One, Chapter 108: The First Prenatal Checkup
At nine in the morning, Wen Xuyu and Bian Xunzhou got into the car and went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Whether deliberately or not, all the way there Bian Xunzhou kept on a video conference with earphones in, taking calls.
Wen Xuyu sat quietly beside him, a hot-water bottle tucked against her lap, her head turned toward the window.
However, even he could scarcely protect himself at the moment. With a Soul Transformation-stage expert like the Unfettered Divine Lord keeping watch over him, bringing the tiger demon along would only drag it down; it would be safer to leave it here.
The reason for the commotion had already spread. It seemed that Baoyu had asked Daiyu to make him a sachet, but Daiyu refused, and that was how it had ended up like this.
It had to be said: the 1987 television adaptation of Dream of the Red Chamber had ruined the image of Li Wan. She ought to have been beautiful.
For people like us, city folk used to nightlife, that kind of life is truly torment.
Only, she did not know how to say it. It made her itch with curiosity. In the capital, Miss Bao and Third Master were engaged; how did Third Master mean to arrange matters for the girl from her family?
I have always been a reckless street crosser! The kind who just marches forward when no car seems to be coming, and stands stupidly waiting at the light as soon as one appears.
Lightning flashed. Fang Xin did not want to waste time, so he directly activated his earth-rank Floating Thunder Armor, and lightning tattoos surfaced.
Before long, the darkness around me began to brighten slowly, bringing every scene into view before my eyes.
And then, at this very moment, civil unrest broke out in Shandong. It was like adding fuel to the fire. The situation in the capital was already in complete disarray. For Ning Rong to come to the capital now was extremely dangerous.
That fellow Wangchuan was arrogant; every time I brought it up, he would laugh and tease me, saying, "Do you even know whose child you're carrying?"
The mother looked down on her own son. "Protect? You can't even protect yourself, and you want to protect someone else. Don't think your mother doesn't know who she is. On her own, she could never be admitted into our royal family!" the mother said, pointing at Wu Ming.
But the middle-aged man was not disappointed. Though he had miscalculated, he did not despair, because he still had a secret weapon—and it was lethal.
Meanwhile, high in the air, the Thunder Leopard King's terrifying sword strike had already come down; resisting this blow would surely be even harder than with the earlier strikes.
But after this experience, Bo Ya also composed a piece of music, and the power contained within it could provide him with a barrier that shut out the outside world. Bo Ya named this barrier "Isolation."
One sentence left Yi Hanxuan speechless. What right did he have to speak about her tangled affections? Hadn't he also abandoned her? Hadn't he used her love for him?
Huang Qianqian had already prepared herself to die; now she slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Li Tianyou's figure, it felt as though some place in her heart had been suddenly blocked.
"Is that so? The days are still long; there will be plenty of time to take it slowly." Gu Lingge knew it herself: Li Xia's temperament had already doomed her to have a hard time. But when she said those words aloud, she realized something was not right. In her heart, there was no longer the indignation and protectiveness she had felt before, yet on the surface she remained as usual.
After glancing at Nana, Kairete turned her astonished gaze to the green-haired boy several heads shorter than her.
After handling official duties for most of the day, Liao Fan finally had a free moment. The weather was warming, and clothing was becoming harder and harder to bear. Sitting at the entrance of headquarters with Liu Chunjian, basking in the sun, he saw that everyone at the base was gathered in the logistics department, so no one passed by the headquarters entrance at all.
The gunfire this time had broken out quite suddenly, especially with the two rifles firing in alternation, in a remarkably steady rhythm. Although they still did not know where the opponent was hiding, this barrage of random shots was like an extremely ominous signal, clearly throwing the sniper opposite Li Ziyuan off balance.
