The Story Of Dusk

Xiao Jun was dumbfounded, he just stood there with expression that devoid from any emotion as if he couldn"t understand what Doctor Xia was talking about .

Meanwhile, Qianru also in the state of shock, she didn"t believe that she was pregnant . Her beautiful bright eyes shone with disbelief as her heart trembling upon hearing the news .

"Pregnant?" Qianru reiterated the word, it felt so strange in her lips, but sound so sweet in her ears .

"Yes . It has been around five weeks . " The young Doctor nodded his head fervently . Somehow he enjoyed their reaction . "Princess Xiao should take a great care for your body as the baby is in the early stage, so the baby is still weak . "

"What she should do and shouldn"t do?" Xiao Jun"s expression remained calm as he sat on the edge of the bed and held Qianru"s hand carefully as if he was holding something so precious .

Doctor Xia generously recited everything that should be avoided by Qianru and what things that she still could do .

However, Xiao Jun didn"t satisfy with his explanation and demanded for him to break down all the things until the very details of it .

He even asked about what food that Qianru could consume and what she must not eat . Afraid that he might miss something, he asked Liu Wei to write it down .

So, the explanation remained until more than thirty minutes .

Only after Xiao Jun had run out of questions, he let the Doctor off .

"All of you can go . " Xiao Jun said softly as he caressed Qianru"s hand .

Doctor Xia resigned himself followed by Liu Wei and Jinse who were looking at each other with smile on their lips .

It was indeed beautiful and amazing news!

Finally, they would have young master or mistress in the near future! This news worth to celebrate!

However, before they could leave the room, Xiao Jun called out Doctor Xia that made the three of them stopped walking and turned around to face him once more .

"I a.s.sume this news will remain in this room only . " Xiao Jun said .

The tone that he used sounded normal, but the warning in his voice was very thick . Something terrible would happen to them, especially Doctor Xia as he was the Palace Doctor, if the news about Qianru pregnancy came out without Xiao Jun"s consent .

"This humble one knew what he has to do . " Doctor Xia instinctively cupped his hand respectfully and bent his body deeply .

Jinse and Liu Wei also did the same, they needed to swallow their initial plan to announce this happy news to their fellow friends, in case someone who shouldn"t know about it was accidentally hear it .

Not to mention having a baby, the situation right now was very risky for both their master and mistress, if anything their enemy would use this momentum to attack them if they didn"t make a plan to avoid it .

Afterward, they proceeded to walk out of the room and Liu Wei closed the door behind him, leaving the couple inside .

There was a pin drop silence after they left and Xiao Jun kept caressing Qianru"s hand absentmindedly as if it was the only thing important at the moment .

"Jun?" Qianru softly whispered to attract his attention . "We will have a child . " She said solemnly .

Xiao Jun slowly raised his head and looked at Qianru deeply . She was the woman who would bear his child, completing their little family .

His mind was a complete and utter jumbled right now, he felt like nothing correct would come out from his mouth if he were going to talk to Qianru . Regardless, there were so many thing that he wanted to say to her…

However there were only two words, which he could softly whisper to her . "Thank you . "

Xiao Jun bent down his body and kissed Qianru"s forehead tenderly, there was a faint smile grazed on his lips when he declared his grat.i.tude .

Xiao Jun wanted to thank her, for her patience for him during all the darkest time in his life and to bring such a joyful and hope in his dull life .

He would cherish her and this moment .

Tear of happiness trickled down from the corner of Qianru"s eyes, Xiao Jun didn"t say many words, but his trembling hand showed how much he treasured this moment .

Xiao Jun pulled back and looked at Qianru affectionately . "Thank you . " He said .

Outside of their courtyard news surely traveled fast .

Without waiting another time, Zhao Tianqi received a report in the same day about Xiao Jun had summoned one of the palace Doctor to check on Qianru .

Zhao Tianqi still held a grudge toward her, after all it was because of her she had to receive the short end of Mo Qin Yi"s temper and even a slap in front of her servants and his guards .

Such humiliation, she would not allow it to slip past her fingers easily .

And it would start with Qianru .

"Call Doctor Xia to meet this princess . " Zhao Tianqi was sitting inside his pavilion while sipping her tea when she heard the news .

Despite she didn"t know what is it about due to Xiao Jun"s courtyard tight security, there was no any news that her guards could dig out, but it didn"t matter because once that Doctor came he would spit out every single detail of it .

She would make use of this moment to exact her revenge .

It would be good if Qianru was having a dangerous disease or she was suffering from some rare illness . Only by thinking about this possibility, Zhao Tianqi was really happy and became more eager to know what actually happened to her .

The guards acted fast, in no time, Doctor Xia had knelt in front of Zhao Tianqi .

This crown princess was really hard to be pleased, she wouldn"t accept less than the most form of respect .

"Tell me what is Princess Xiao"s illness . " She asked ardently .

Shock was written all over Doctor Xia"s face, he really couldn"t understand how Princess Zhao Tianqi knew about this so quickly . Sometime the young Doctor didn"t understand how news traveled around the palace .

"This humble one didn"t understand what princess meant . " Doctor Xia still remembered Xiao Jun"s cold warning, it was still ringing in his ears .

Sipping her tea leisurely, Zhao Tianqi glanced at the young Doctor who was kneeling in front of her . "I recall you have a little sister, how is she now?"
