CHAPTER 1356: CHAPTER 1356: I WANT TO HAVE A BABY TOO

The next day, Xiao Zheng followed the same method, giving Leng Ruobing a round of prenatal care. It was so comfortable that Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but fall asleep again. Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head when he saw this, and then carried Leng Ruobing into the room to let her rest.

When he returned to the living room, Xiao Zheng noticed that Chu Xiaoran was looking listless. She had been distracted since this morning and he had no idea what she was thinking about.

Xiao Zheng was very concerned about Chu Xiaoran, so he walked over and sat beside her, asking, "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Xiaoran was lost in thought. When she heard this, she subconsciously replied, "I’m thinking about how to get pregnant; I want a baby."

"Uh..."

Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded.

What the...?

Wants a baby?

Did I hear that right?

Immediately, Xiao Zheng looked at Chu Xiaoran with a rather peculiar gaze and asked worriedly, "Little girl, did something upset you?"

Only after saying it did Chu Xiaoran come to her senses, her face instantly blushing a deep red. She stammered, "I... I was rehearsing lines."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, teasing, "Have you been seeing your sister with a baby lately? Feeling envious? Why don’t you quickly find a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoran got flustered and said, "I’m not going to find a boyfriend!"

Xiao Zheng said, "Men should marry, and women should wed when they’re grown up. If you delay, you might not find someone to marry..." At this point, Xiao Zheng couldn’t continue because he suddenly realized that Chu Xiaoran was looking at him with a very distressed expression. What the...? What’s going on?

"Ah Zheng, do you really dislike me that much?" Chu Xiaoran said aggrievedly, her eyes turning red.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, scratched his head, not knowing how he had upset this girl, and said with a wry smile, "How could I possibly dislike you? I’ve always considered you like my own sister. You and your sister are some of the most important people in my life here."

Although the first half of the sentence made Chu Xiaoran feel quite sad, hearing the latter part made her smile immediately.

Even as a sister... that’s not bad. At least she holds some place in his heart.

Sometimes, unrequited love might be one of the most painful things in the world. Once you’re stuck in that mire, you become unbearably humble, and even if you want to struggle out, there’s absolutely no hope.

Even if you’ve made up your mind and grit your teeth to stay away from that person, but as soon as they show even the slightest kindness, your iron determination collapses instantly.

"Then... promise me you won’t say such things anymore in the future!" Chu Xiaoran looked at Xiao Zheng and said very seriously.

"Alright, alright, I promise you." Xiao Zheng said helplessly. Women, they’re really a weird species, it’s impossible to understand their thoughts.

Ding.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Chu Xiaoran heard it and quickly stood up to open the door, where she saw an incredibly stunning beauty with a bombshell figure standing outside.

"Xiao Yufei?"

Chu Xiaoran said in surprise.

Chu Xiaoran recognized her. During the Huashan Sect’s battle, for safety, she, Mo Anna, Xiao Yufei, and Mu Yiqing were all taken to the Sky Net Base. Although they hadn’t interacted much since, they had seen each other a few times.

Chu Xiaoran knew that this woman had a deep relationship with Xiao Zheng, so although she maintained a polite demeanor, her attitude obviously cooled down, "Why are you here?"

Chu Xiaoran’s indifferent attitude didn’t bother Xiao Yufei. She was straightforward and fiery in nature, rarely bothered by such trifles, and said, "I’ve come to see Xiao Zheng. There’s a martial arts competition today, and I wanted to invite him to participate."

Chu Xiaoran had the intention to directly refuse this Xiao Yufei entry. However, since it related to Xiao Zheng, although reluctant, she still called out to him, "Ah Zheng, someone is here for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng also came to the door and was a bit puzzled upon seeing Xiao Yufei, "Oh, it’s Yu Fei. What are you doing here?"

Xiao Yufei repeated what she had just told Chu Xiaoran.

"Martial arts competition?"

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment. To him, such competitions seemed pointless. Naturally, he didn’t want to go; he’d rather stay home with his wife.

Xiao Yufei, seeing this, got a bit anxious, "Xiao Zheng, please join. Those foreigners at the competition are really strong. I haven’t been practicing the Five Intentions Fist for long, and I’m afraid I might not beat them. With you there, I won’t have to worry."

Xiao Zheng originally didn’t want to go, but hearing this changed his mind. After all, this time, foreign experts have come to provoke Huaxia, and he couldn’t simply sit by and do nothing. So he nodded, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

Chu Xiaoran had been listening the whole time. Upon hearing that it was some kind of martial arts competition, her curiosity was piqued. Combined with her strong sense of vigilance against Xiao Yufei, she reached out and shook Xiao Zheng’s arm, "Ah Zheng, I want to go too."

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "Begging me won’t help; the boss here is Yu Fei."

Xiao Yufei laughed heartily, "No problem, the martial arts competition is quite fun too."

Seeing Xiao Yufei’s generous and bold demeanor, Chu Xiaoran, who was initially distant towards her, began to change her attitude slightly and smiled, "Thank you."

...

Soon after, they arrived at an upscale fitness club, which was the venue chosen for this martial arts competition.

This fitness club was very famous in the entire Zhonghai City. It housed many top-notch trainers and was a favorite spot for various wealthy and influential people.

After all, with the development of the economy, people’s lives improved, and they began to pursue physical health, especially the upper class.

Therefore, this fitness club was quite popular, and this Sino-foreign martial arts competition attracted a lot of attention.

When the three of them arrived at the competition arena, a large crowd had already gathered around. There were even box seats on the second floor to observe the seating area, where many prominent figures were present for the spectacle.

The participants from Huaxia were all eager and enthusiastic, hoping to stand out in this martial arts competition and perhaps catch the eye of an important figure, leading to great success.

Meanwhile, the foreigners looked strong and arrogant, standing on one side with a cold demeanor and noses upturned, refusing to speak to anyone, behaving as if they looked down on everyone.

However, their presence was very fierce, clearly indicating they were no ordinary individuals. Among them were even a few whose bodies exuded a faint, murderous aura, which Xiao Zheng could immediately identify as a mark of having killed before.

They were all quite formidable opponents.
