Chapter 291: Pregnant!?

Slowly, days passed, the weather changed. Another year arrived.

At this time, Huang Sheng Hong and her mother Tang Nini along with her grandmother already arrived on the ranch. The arrival didn't gather a lot of attention and didn't reach the ears of the Long Family. Because of this, the Long Family still thought that Huang Sheng Hong and his wife were still abroad and that the Old Huang Patriarch should be dead by now.

Of course, their opinions don't concern Lyca at all. Right now, her concern was actually the food she was eating. It was too delicious. Lyca wasn't able to stop the tears from streaming down her eyes. She missed this. The tears weren't enough to stop her from eating the braised pork balls with gravy followed by her tenth dumpings.

"Aiyo… this child. Eating while crying is not good. Wipe your tears, wipe your tears. How come you are crying now? You didn't even cry when we saw each other again." Tang Nini said as she wiped her daughter's tears. "Does this mean you miss my food more than you miss me?"

Seeing Lyca nod without batting an eyelid, Tang Nini slowly pinched her daughter's waist. "Three years… three years and you are still as greedy. Give some food to your husband. I made food enough for everyone. This is… This is truly embarrassing, ah."

Even Huang Sheng Hong and Shen Qui were completely speechless. Who would have thought that Lyca would cry while eating? When she saw her mother and father again, she only hugged them and refused to let go for a few minutes. At that time, Lyca didn't shed a single tear.

However, right now, Lyca was actually crying! She was sobbing while eating the food that her mother made. This was really… incomprehensible.

"Qui'er be honest with me… is my daughter…"

Shen Qui shook his head before he shrugged. Seeing his wife like this, a different glint appeared in his eyes. His wife actually loved food a lot, and he already knew this before even marrying her. Lyca was someone who loves sleeping and eating. However, he could only cook eggs. With this in mind, Shen Qui made a mental note to cultivate his cooking skills. He needed to learn and he would never stop until he gets this kind of reaction from Lyca!

Of course, Shen Qui was unaware at this time that he was already jealous… jealous of the food that Lyca was eating. How could some food could make her react like this? He needed to learn how to cook this type of food as fast as possible!

"Hey, be honest with me…" Since Shen Qui didn't give him an answer, Huang Sheng Hong impulsively asked his daughter," Are you pregnant? Am I going to have a grandchild soon?"

This made Lyca paused. "Huh?" she finally removed her gaze from the food. "What are you talking about?"

"This… Sheng Hong, how could you assume that our daughter is pregnant? Is it because she was a bit emotional?" Of course, even Tang Nini was actually suspecting that her daughter was pregnant. After all, being emotional while eating wasn't really normal.

"I'm not," Lyca said before she lowered her head and started eating again. What pregnancy!? She is crying because of the food! After all, she grew up with her mother's cooking. Even when she was abroad, her mother would visit her monthly to cook for her. However, this time, she hasn't tasted her mother's cooking for almost four years! FOUR YEARS!

Sadly, this action roused the curiosity of her parents. They actually thought that Lyca was too embarrassed to accept it! Perhaps she was even too afraid. The two met each other's eyes and immediately decided to have a private conversation with Lyca after all this.

Huang Sheng Hong and Tang Nini thought Lyca might be planning to get rid of the child. Given the current situation, getting pregnant is just too risky. However, the two already decided not to let their daughter take their grandchild's life. No matter what happens, this child must live! Determination flashed in the eyes of Tang Nini and Huang Sheng Hong.

Lyca didn't see this small interaction as she was too busy with her food. However, this was all too obvious in Shen Qui's eyes. He wanted to correct the two but keep his mouth shut. Shen Qui couldn't help it. He also wanted to see Lyca's reaction once her parents will talk to her about this matter.

Smiling inwardly, Shen Qui used his chopstick to add more food to Lyca's bowl. "You should eat more. Take care of your body." His obviously vague words made the two parents more certain about the pregnancy. "Mother, father today is the new year, you should eat more. Here… let me pour you some tea too. This is my special tea. You should have some."

Shen Qui's gentle smile eased both Huang Sheng Hong and Tang Nini's hearts. Both of them actually know that despite their daughter's laziness, Lyca was an extremely ruthless person. This was something they discovered while she was still abroad. After all, at that time, Lyca was already in her teens and she didn't hesitate to kill people using her poisons.

True, she doesn't like to show off and would rather hide during events, but their daughter is an extremely resolute person. Once she already decided, she would do it no matter the cost. Moreover, Lyca was someone very vengeful. The two knew that she wouldn't rest until she makes the Long Family suffer.

After a few minutes, the four of them finally finished eating and Lyca and Shen Qui decided to go to the house at the ranch where the others were celebrating their new years. Since her parents just arrived, Ronan, Rue, Cleo, and Lai Su chose to celebrate the occasion at the house and give them some privacy.

When Lyca and Shen Qui arrived, the group of four finished their meals and were only drinking. So they decided to go out of the house and enjoy some fireworks.

"You love fireworks?" Shen Qui couldn't help but asked Lyca.

"I like it," she answered before resting her head in Shen Qui's head. Fireworks also exist in her previous world however, most fireworks in that world were assisted by magic. Just like the explosives that she made for the Xu Family before, everything about that world is made using magic. "Hey, I have a question."

"Hm?"

"Do you believe in magic?" she asked.
