Chapter 491: Working Mom

"I think being pregnant made you look more beautiful," Tang Ruyi beamed at her. "I think gaining a bit of weight looks good on you. Are you sure that you will have a son? I mean… I heard women who have a son will become ugly or something like that?"

"Where did you hear that from?" Lyca snorted. "I am sure, I'm still beautiful as always." She grabbed the popcorn and started eating it. "He agreed because these are considered healthy snacks."

Seeing Lyca's reaction, Tang Ruyi rolled her eyes. "You are lucky you have a man that is looking after you. Hell, you are lucky you have a man in your life! Stop being ungrateful." Tang Ruyi snatched the popcorns back. "And I am not here to talk about your diet. I just want to know what is the deal with the Ye Family? They are weird people."

Lyca shrugged. "Who cares about them?"

"They care about you. Aren't you concern they would steal your kid or something?"

"Nope. They won't be able to do that."

"You know…" Tang Ruyi sighed. "They are treating you like their goddess for some unknown reason."

"It's just because I'm beautiful." That's all. Lyca rested her legs on the table. Not many people knew about the Ye Family's obsession with her white hair and she was thankful for that. Or else Tang Ruyi and the others would surely start asking questions. "And smart."

"Narcissist."

Lyca laughed. "By the way, why are you here?"

"Aside from the fact that I want to see your bulging tummy? I am also here to tell you that Shen Security is going to join the security assembly. They will represent the country."

"Oh? Is this the international security assembly?"

"Yep. This time, we are going against the Du Empire and other countries. Ah, this is going to be held in the Du Empire."

"When?"

"In Eight months."

"Oh… so I still have time to push the baby out of my stomach."

"Crazy."

"I know."

"But isn't that what you want? A break? Like after giving birth, I'm sure you would take a break for like five years, right?"

"To be honest, no. I am not taking a break."

Hearing her declaration, Tang Ruyi immediately put her hand on Lyca's forehead. "What did you say?"

"I am not taking a break," Lyca said.

"Are you ill? Wait… is this because of the pregnancy? Was it the hormones thing? Maybe I am hallucinating? Maybe I heard it…" Tang Ruyi widened her eyes before she slapped her own face.

*PAK*

"AWWW!"

"Are you insane?" Lyca frowned and gave her cousin a look.

"Ummm… I think I should ask you that question? Are you insane? You are planning to work after giving birth? What happened to the lazy woman that I know? Why would you leave your child alone? Have you become this ruthless? Were you upset that you got pregnant? How could you— "

*BAM*

This time, Lyca kicked her cousin. Tang Ruyi was so busy talking that she wasn't able to move her body away. In the end, her butt landed on the floor. She stared at Lyca in disbelief. "Why did you kick me?"

"You deserve that," Lyca said. She was eyeing the popcorn in her cousin's hands. Despite being on the floor, Tang Ruyi never let the popcorn go. This was definitely Lyca's type of people. "Give it."

"Only if you promise not to kick me again." Tang Ruyi stood and stroked her behind before she sat down next to Lyca again. "You are lucky, you're pregnant. I would have asked you to go to the ring with me if you're not."

"I am working with my child," Lyca said.

"No way."

"Yes, way!"

"What happened to the lazy Lyca that I knew?"

"She ran away," Lyca said. "And this is not only advantageous to me but to my son too."

"How is that helpful to an infant?" Tang Ruyi asked.

"Well… it would teach him hard work."

"…"

"I know. Not many people could accept women working just after giving birth. But this is actually the trend right now." Lyca threw popcorn in her mouth before she smiled. "Ah, you won't understand my point. You are single, after all."

"You — " Tang Ruyi couldn't see any connection at all! She glared at Lyca. "Anyway… about working. Are you serious? Did you ask Shen Qui about this? Did he agree?"

"Of course I did. I am such a good wife, after all."

"…"

"He agreed to come with me and our son no matter where we went."

"…" So he would become the nanny. Tang Ruyi forced a smile out of her face. "That sounds great! And I believe he also agreed to do everything else?"

"That's his duty. I carried our son for nine months, the least he could do is carry our son in his first nine months in this world too! This is only fair!"

"…" Why does Lyca making it sound like this was completely normal? Tang Ruyi could only sigh. "So, are you going to be leading the team to Du Empire?"

"Of course I would."

"And you are going to create some new stuff, right?"

"Of course I would!."

Tang Ruyi let out another sigh. At least Lyca sounded serious about winning this time. "Alright. I will…. Um… Hey… Are you alright?" Tang Ruyi and Lyca turned silent as they watched water started streaming down Lyca's legs. "You — You are — I think — "

Lyca smiled. "Relax… It's just my water. Go and calmly call Shen Qui. He should know what to— Ruyi why the hell are you acting like you saw a ghost? Go ahead and call Shen Qui!"

"Ah? Right! Right!" Tang Ruyi sat in a jolt before she stood up and run out of the room. "Wait! I can't leave you alone here! Give me your cell phone! Ah… he should be downstairs, right? Should I just… You know what? I should just call him!"

Lyca chuckled when she heard Tang Ruyi mumbled while running out of the door. Then Lyca froze. The last time that she joked about giving birth, Shen Qui actually panicked too!

With this in mind, Lyca sighed and stood from the sofa. Then she calmly walked out of her room with water dripping down her legs. Of course, Lyca only overestimated herself. The moment she reached the door, she felt a bit of a numb pain in her lower back. Was this what they call labor pains? She frowned as she slowly opened the door.

Then she screamed.

"Hey, Quiér! I think I'm giving birth. Stay calm and stop panicking or I will not let you see our son!"

I am not going to stop uploading. However, I might not be able to upload everyday because of some new stuff. If you don't know yet, I am working with Tapas for their studio tapas originals. You can check out Tapas on appstore and playstore. They are more into webcomics or manhua. Also, I am working for my first manhwa! Actually, I am planning to release 3 manhuas this year. Hopefully, I can do that. 

Agan, I am not going hiatus. I will still upload chapters. Thanks
