handle it.And the county princess had already been sent back, her life and death unknown. The Duke's mansion was furious and insisted on getting to the bottom of it, finding out why there was a blade...The young man lowered his eyes to stare at the meat in his bowl. He had no appetite, his expression listless, and he didn't move his chopsticks.

The food was light and elegant, simply placed on the palate and savored with each chew.

Li Yan's expression was uncertain.

The butler standing by felt a little frightened. The atmosphere had been heavy these days. The more unhappy Mr. Ning was, the gloomier Mr. Li's face became.

Ning Shu was slightly lost in thought, so when he saw that Li Yan was only staring at him with those deep, obsidian-like eyes. But the aura emanating from his body carried a sense of oppression.

I couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Li Yan looked at him with slightly darkened eyes and said faintly, "Eat."

The imperiousness in his words, his usual domineering and superior stance, was unmistakable.

Ning Shu was silent for a moment, Li Yan had always been like this. He could only stretch out his hand and pinch that piece of meat. But as soon as he smelled that meaty smell, he felt a twinge of discomfort.

Finally, the youth sent the piece of meat to his mouth, but his face turned slightly pale.

But in a man's eyes, it was a different story. The veins on Li Yan's hand almost bulged visibly, and his voice was icy cold: "Do you find it disgusting"

Now it's to the point where I find everything he's touched repulsive.

Li Yan's eyes were dark and fixed on the person.

The expression was terrifying.

Ning Shu didn't speak, his heart tightened slightly. He didn't know why he thought of what the doctor had said that day. He just stiffly put the meat into his mouth and chewed it. He looked extremely uncomfortable and his expression was off.

But he couldn't swallow the meat, because his stomach churned. Ning Shu couldn't help but get up and then vomit everything he had just eaten.

The steward was taken aback for a moment, watching Mr. Ning's departing figure.

He couldn't help but glance at the unpredictable Mr. Li, sighing deeply.

Ning Shu knew her actions had led to Li Yan's misunderstanding, otherwise the other party wouldn't have angrily locked her in a room. Then he nibbled and bit at her, staring at the young man with a cold, indifferent tone: "Disgusting"

Li Yan twitched his lips, lifting a smirk tinged with mockery: "Feel sick How about it, Ning Shu, aren't you already tired of being **ed by me"

He lowered his eyes and said, "Now looking at your body, I feel disgusted."

Ning Shu, listening to his insulting words, closed her eyes, feeling a bit sleepy: “If you’re tired of it, can you let me out”

Li Yan lowered his head, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Don't even think about it."

Ning Shu's neck was gently grasped by the other hand, causing his eyelashes to tremble slightly. However, Li Yan didn't make any moves. His big hand moved slightly downward, touching his waist.

Ning Shu's body stiffened involuntarily. Just as he was prepared to, once again, endure the man's relentless demands...

Li Yan, however, touched his waist as if confirming something.

Then his face changed slightly, and he looked at him carefully again, his expression gloomy: "Are you still thinking about how to find Lin Mengjia"

Ning Shu closed her eyes and said, "...no."

Li Yan looked at him with an unreadable expression and said, "Lin Mengjia is already engaged."

The young man suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Yan, however, looked at him with no expression and said: "What's the matter, you care"

If it were before, Ning Shu wouldn't have thought too much about it. But having witnessed Li Yan's actions over this period, he was no longer so naive: "You did this"

His noble brows and eyes held a certain aloofness. He neither denied nor confirmed, simply saying: "She was already about to get married, it wouldn't have been you, it would have been someone else. Do you really think your current appearance would be acceptable to her family"

Ning Shu moved her lips, but in the end, she didn't say anything. But weariness flashed across her brows and eyes: "Li Yan, don't hurt others, okay"

He had always known Li Yan was a bit off, but when it came to others, Ning Shu couldn't just stand by and watch. Besides, these people were all caught up in this because of him.

Li Yan, however, lowered his eyes, a hint of hostility in his gaze: "You still like her."

Ning Shu said, "...it's already over." After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and said, "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, but please don't hurt innocent people."

Li Yan stared at him for a long time, as if to see if the young man was lying. After a while, the expression on his face softened slightly, he pinched Ning Shu's waist and said: "Eat more meat, it's uncomfortable to work out."

Ning Shu didn't speak. Lately, for some reason he had started to become sleepy. Even when Li Yan went crazy with him, he felt tired.

Li Yan looked at the youth's expression, his face flickering with something unreadable. In the end, he embraced the other, doing nothing more.

.....

The kitchen has been whipping up nutritious meals with a variety of flavors these days. They focus on light and healthy dishes. Ning Shu saw the meat on the table, but didn't say anything about it.

His appetite has improved a bit lately, and he can eat some things now.

That auntie looked at him and said, "Mr. Ning, your complexion seems to have gotten better recently, with a hint of color back in your face."

Ning Shu said, “Is that so.”

He hadn't paid much attention to himself, but thinking about his symptoms over the past period, he felt increasingly uneasy. For example, he had been excessively sleepy, feeling nauseous and even vomiting. Recalling his conversation with the doctor at the hospital that day...

The young man's heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Ning, what's wrong" Auntie asked involuntarily.

Ning Shu came back to her senses and shook her head.

Aunt said again, "Mr. Ning, I see you seem a little out of sorts lately. Are you ill"

Ning Shu smiled and shook her head. "I just slept a little poorly."

"Auntie said again, "I know an old doctor, you should go see him if you're sick. He's the best. My daughter was sick before, and it took a long time to get better at the hospital. But when she saw him, she got well quickly. Maybe when you have time, Mr. Ning, you could go see this old doctor"

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Old doctor..."

"Aunt smiled and said, 'Yes, old doctor, he has lived there for decades.'"

....

Li Yan recently bumped into him less, Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what his aunt had said to him, he couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "Can I go out"

The man looked at him, probably seeing that he seemed a little better lately, and asked, "Where do you want to go"

Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been out shopping in ages. Can I go out for a while"

Li Yan looked at him for a long time, then touched his hair and said, "How long will you be gone"

Ning Shu said, "Half a day."

Finally, Li Yan agreed to his request, the reason being simple. Ning Shu took the initiative to lean into his arms, intending to give Li Yan some comfort, but the man grabbed his arm.

Ning Shu was a little surprised, but then he thought that Li Yan hadn't touched him recently. Just as the other party said, he probably got tired of him.

Two days later.

Ning Shu went out the door. He didn't let the driver follow him, but just asked him to stop the car halfway through.

Then he walked, stepping into that place, an alleyway in the old neighborhood.

When he went inside, a cat was sleeping outside. It probably saw that someone had arrived and opened its eyes very alertly, then quickly turned its body and ran inside.

Ning Shu walked in, and there was a grapevine inside.

There was also a chaise longue, on which lay a person. Hearing someone enter, the old man said, “What are you doing”

He walked over, a little hesitantly, and said, "Sir, I'm here to see the doctor..."

The old man sat up and looked at him. He got up and went inside, calling out, "Come in."

He put on his glasses, behind which was a shelf. It was full of traditional Chinese medicine. The old man, with white hair, peered at him after putting on his glasses and said, “What kind of illness do you have”

Ning Shu sat down and hesitated a little, "I've been feeling a bit sleepy lately..." He hesitated for a moment before saying what he had been thinking.

The old man hummed in response and said, "Stick out your tongue."

Ning Shu stuck out his tongue and obeyed again. The old man told him to cover his mouth and then said, "Extend your hand."

The young man extended his hand, the old gentleman placed his hand over it, and then let it go. At first, his expression was still solemn, but later, for some reason, his eyebrows twitched.

Ning Shu's heart was a little nervous, he couldn't help but speak up and ask: "Old sir, am I sick"

The old man withdrew his hand and replied, "It's not an illness."

Ning Shu said a little dazedly: “Am I sick” He said with some worry, "But recently, I don't know what it is, but I feel very tired."

"Only then did the old man look at him and say, 'You have a pulse of joy.'"

Ning Shu's mind suddenly buzzed. He was certain he hadn't heard wrong. He also knew what the pulse meant, and couldn't help but say: "But I'm a man."

He said, "Sir, could it be that you're mistaken I had the same thing happen to me at the hospital before. Maybe they misdiagnosed me."

"Who says men can't get pregnant" the old man suddenly said, "There are records of men getting pregnant in history books, don't you know that"

Ning Shu sat somewhat dazedly in his place, he truly didn't know. But a man getting pregnant, his brain hadn't quite caught up yet.

The old man glanced at him, perhaps accustomed to his expression. Then he began writing on the slip of paper and said: "Your body is a bit weak lately, you need to adjust properly, otherwise, this will lead to miscarriage."

And, as for sexual intimacy, don't overdo it. Judging by your current situation, it's best to avoid it altogether.

Ningshu's face flushed when she heard this.

The old man probably knew... He and Li Yan were both men...

After leaving the old man, Ning Shu hasn't fully come back to her senses.

He couldn't help but lower his head and glance at his stomach.

Then, gently stroking it, a child was found within.

It belongs to Li Yan.

Ning Shu found it incredible; she was carrying Li Yan's child.kind of Han Xi, but Han Xi was younger than her. Even if he seemed so composed and calm, he was only in his early twenties.He is still very young, not to mention that Han Xi finished his studies ahead...
