Chapter 255: Chapter 199: Satisfied~

“It should still be a while.” Sang Luo touched her belly, which was about the size of a five- or six-month human pregnancy. She could feel that the baby was developing very healthily.

“When my little sister is born, Mommy, remember to add her in!” Little An said solemnly.

“Alright, alright. When your sister is born, we’ll take another family portrait,” Sang Luo said with a smile, playing along.

Little An nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Sang Luo’s belly. “Mommy, was your belly this big when you were pregnant with me?”

“Hmm… When I was carrying you, my belly was even bigger than this.”

“Wouldn’t it have burst?” he asked, his eyes wide with concern.

Sang Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Little An suddenly hugged her. “It’s so hard for you, Mommy. When Little An grows up, I’ll be good to you for my whole life! No… Little An will be good to you even before I grow up. I’ll be even better to you than Daddy is!”

Sang Luo’s heart melted. She pulled him into her arms and gave him a kiss. “Having a baby as cute and well-behaved as Little An isn’t a hardship at all. It makes Mommy feel very happy and blessed.”

Sang Luo spent half a month playing with her son, but she didn’t forget about his lessons.

’Lou Xianyue will wake up eventually, and Little Blue Eucalyptus will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities sooner or later.’ She didn’t want to exhaust her child, nor did she want to raise him into a good-for-nothing who only knew how to play. Her educational philosophy was to maintain a balance between work and leisure.

Sang Luo and Little An made a pinky promise: she would play with him in the mornings and study with him in the afternoons.

If he did well, she would reward him with a new set of building blocks.

When Zai Xin returned, he found that the Little Majesty had changed a great deal. Not only did he no longer resent his studies, he even took the initiative to ask questions. Zai Xin was so delighted his beard nearly flew off his face, and he wished he could impart every last bit of his knowledge to the boy.

Sang Luo also found time to speak with him, suggesting that he not schedule Little An’s days too tightly.

’Sang Luo’s educational philosophy was to adjust to each child’s personality. Someone with a personality like Little Stone’s—steady, patient, and diligent, who from a young age tackled everything with single-minded focus and strove for the top—actually found joy in a heavy study schedule. If he wasn’t given enough tasks and goals, he would feel a bit lost and bored.’

’Little Blue Eucalyptus’s personality wasn’t much like Lou Xianyue’s, but in some aspects, he did resemble his father. He had a naturally carefree and casual disposition, and pushing him too hard would likely provoke his rebellious side.’

The scrolls Zai Xin had Little An study were merely practice exercises he had prepared. The official documents of the South Sea were being managed day and night by Chao You. With Lou Xianyue away, she, as the Queen, felt she should at least pay her subordinate a visit. She brought some gifts and went to the study, where she ran right into a dejected-looking Ni Sha.

Ni Sha was overjoyed and hurried forward to bow. “Greetings, Queen!”

Her eyes fell to Sang Luo’s round belly, and she offered a heartfelt congratulations. “The Young Master is growing well, too. It’s a pity I came empty-handed this time and didn’t bring a gift!”

“Your thought is more than enough. Besides, you’ve sent plenty of things before, and I haven’t even finished them all yet.” Sang Luo glanced toward the study. “Were you just with Lord Chao You? I happen to have something to discuss with him, so come back with me.”

Ni Sha said awkwardly, “I-I just remembered I have something else to do. Queen, I’ll take my leave now!”

The study door opened, and Ni Sha fled in a panic. Sang Luo couldn’t have stopped her if she tried.

Chao You walked out of the study and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Queen.”

“You know Ni Sha?” Sang Luo asked, looking at him.

Chao You was the archetypal tough guy, with a buzz cut and rather handsome features. A deep scar ran from behind his ear down to his neck, giving him an even more rugged and wild appearance. He was tall, about 2.2 meters by her estimation, and his body was corded with muscles as hard as rock. He had dark gray skin, which wasn’t quite to her aesthetic taste. ’Still, he must be considered quite the handsome male in the Shark Clan,’ she thought. ’And he’s a True King Rank, so there must be no shortage of females pursuing him.’

“We know each other,” Chao You said.

“Then why was she so afraid to see you?”

“She’s probably angry with me.” Chao You scratched his head. “We’re betrothed.”

“Heh, so that’s why that girl was always running to the Sea Palace. I thought she was really coming to see me, but it turns out she had an ulterior motive.”

Sang Luo arched an eyebrow and said with a teasing smile, “If there’s a misunderstanding, you should just talk it out. And you shouldn’t be so preoccupied with palace affairs. There are other people here, too. I heard you’ve been so busy lately that you haven’t slept for days. It’s not worth wearing your body down like this. I’ll give you some Concentration Spirit Fruits; taking one will rapidly restore your energy.”

“Thank you, Queen!” Chao You accepted them with a solemn expression.

“I came to the study to get a few official documents for Little An to practice on.”

“I’ll go get them for you right away!”

After taking the documents, Sang Luo returned to Chengen Hall.

Little Blue Eucalyptus had been tired lately, but it was a happy exhaustion.

’With Mommy here beside me, everything is interesting! I have the energy to do anything!’

That night, he was sleeping soundly in his mother’s arms when his eyes suddenly flew open. He turned his head to see a tall, slender figure standing by the bed. Just as he was about to exclaim, “Dad—you’re awake!”

Lou Xianyue quickly covered his little mouth and raised a single, jade-white finger to his own lips in a shushing gesture. Little Blue Eucalyptus glanced at his sleeping mother and immediately closed his mouth.

Lou Xianyue gently scooped Blue Eucalyptus from Sang Luo’s embrace and carried him to Chengen Hall to sleep.

Little Blue Eucalyptus was very unhappy. ’Whatever Dad and Mom are going to do, why do they always have to send me away!’

…

Lou Xianyue sat on the edge of the bed, watching the sleeping Sang Luo. His expression was full of tenderness and longing.

“Sang’er…”

He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. The touch was as light as a cool breeze, as soft as moonlight, full of lingering, tender affection.

Sang Luo had been sleeping lightly and was already stirring when he carried their son away.

She opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile. “Why did you take the boy away?”

“I wanted to be alone with you.”

Lou Xianyue lay down beside her, still fully dressed, and carefully pulled her into his embrace, taking care not to press against her belly.

Sang Luo took his long, elegant hand and placed it on her belly. “Our second baby is growing very well.”

Lou Xianyue said softly, “You’ve worked hard, Sang’er.”

“If you feel that bad for me, why don’t you help me share some of the burden?” Sang Luo looked at him with a smile, her soft, fair fingers tracing a path from his incomparably elegant eyes, down to his jaw, his collarbone, his firm, sexy chest, and then… lower still.

A faint blush appeared on Lou Xianyue’s jade-white face. “Sang’er…”

“The witch doctor said that during pregnancy, making love with one’s Beast Husband—especially the baby’s own father—is very nourishing for the mother’s body and helps the baby grow even better.”

She pressed her lips to his, her voice soft and bewitching. “Ah Ze, give me all of you…”

Lou Xianyue’s eyes instantly darkened like a storm in the Deep Sea, his breathing turning ragged and wild.

A night of unrestrained passion followed, the epitome of sensuality.

Sang Luo didn’t groggily wake until the next morning, her body languidly sore and yet utterly satisfied.

Lou Xianyue had already cleaned her up. The bedding and sheets had been changed for a fresh set, and he had even dressed her in a softer, more comfortable white cotton maternity nightgown.

She felt the empty space on the bed beside her; he wasn’t in the room.

Sang Luo took a few Beast Crystals from her storage space and ate them. A wave of drowsiness washed over her again, and she buried her face in the pillows to take a short nap.

Lou Xianyue came in carrying a tray of food and set it on the table. “Sang’er, would you like to eat something?”

He knew she loved to indulge her appetite, and her cravings for delicacies were even stronger during pregnancy.

“I want to sleep a little longer…” A soft, languid voice drifted out from under the covers.

Lou Xianyue walked over with a smile and gently pulled the covers down, revealing her faintly flushed, lovely face. “Don’t sleep with your head buried like that, it’s not good for you.”

He gathered her into his arms and gently massaged her lower back. “Is it a little sore?”
