Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

In fact, Chu Yuqin felt more shame in calling Lu Chen "darling" than calling him "Chen'er." Even though she had accepted Lu Chen, deep down she still couldn't get over the age difference, mainly because they had lived together for too long, and it wasn't something that could be changed in a short time.

At that moment, Chu Qingli continued to ask, "Sister, how come you got pregnant with that scoundrel's child so easily? Yelv Nanyan and the others have been with him so many times, and yet there's no sign of their bellies growing."

Chu Yuqin said with flushed cheeks, "I'm not quite sure myself."

Recently, Yelv Nanyan had repeatedly pulled her aside to quietly ask her how she got pregnant with Lu Chen's child, even wanting to find out the details of her intimate encounters with Lu Chen.

Now, within the Prince's Mansion, she was the only female martial artist to carry Lu Chen's child, and it had happened on the first try, which naturally aroused the curiosity of the other women.

Although it is normal to fall pregnant after intimacy between man and woman, just the thought that she was the only female martial artist to bear Lu Chen's child made Chu Yuqin feel somewhat ashamed. She couldn't help but wonder if the people in the Prince's Mansion were speculating whether she and Lu Chen had done something particularly special for her to conceive so effortlessly.

At this time, Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin's rosy cheeks with a suspicious expression and said, "Sister, you didn't sleep with that scoundrel a long time ago, did you? That's why you got pregnant with his child so quickly."

Chu Yuqin replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm like you?"

Hearing this, Chu Qingli pouted. She wanted to say that she had done it initially for Chu Yuqin's sake, but the words stayed at the tip of her tongue, as even she no longer believed that excuse.

Chu Qingli had since come to her senses. She realized that her agreement to transact with Lu Chen was nothing short of a voluntary offer of herself. She had once thought of Lu Chen as a contemptible person, and yet she had believed his words and agreed to a transaction of a hundred times with him, which was akin to seeking her own misery.

However, it was meaningless to discuss this now. Now that she had become one of the members of the Harem, no amount of words would change anything. Like her sister, she could no longer escape the clutches of that scoundrel for the rest of her life.

At this moment, Chu Qingli raised her hand and caressed Chu Yuqin's belly.

Chu Qingli murmured to herself, "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl."

Chu Yuqin smiled faintly and then replied, "Whether it is a boy or a girl, I believe Chen'er will love the child."

Chu Qingli said, "That's uncertain. Who knows if he just says he likes it, but deep down he's full of disdain."

"I think it's better to bear him sons. Didn't he say he treats all his children equally? Sister, just bear him a few more sons, divide his inheritance, and take revenge on him for bullying the two of us sisters."

Just as Chu Qingli finished speaking, Lu Chen's voice came from the doorway, "Take revenge on me? Great! I can't wait for you to take revenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen pushed the door and entered.

Seeing Lu Chen's unexpected arrival, Chu Qingli was taken aback.

Lu Chen then closed the door and said with a smile, "Qingli, what kind of skill is it to incite your sister to take revenge on me? Why don't you personally bear me a few dozen children to take your revenge?"

Hearing this, Chu Qingli snorted lightly and said, "I can't get pregnant. If I could, I wouldn't mind giving birth to dozens or even hundreds for you to see. I'd have my children carve up your estate, and then I'd like to see how you'd provide for so many children."

Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback by Chu Qingli's words. Of course, he knew that what Chu Qingli said was just said out of anger; regardless of how capable she was, Chu Qingli couldn't possibly bear hundreds of children for him alone.

However, Chu Qingli's words did remind Lu Chen that indeed, if one day he had more and more children, arranging for their future would indeed be a concern.

With his Realm determining he would not be limited to just the few women he had now and ensuring that he would not have only six children – and given that as the children grew up, they too would have children, and their children would continue to have more children – it was likely that Lu Chen would live to see many generations of his descendants.

Of course, tonight was not the time to think about that. He had come to ask Chu Yuqin some questions today.

Afterwards, Lu Chen walked straight to the bed and sat down next to Chu Qingli.

Seeing herself in the way of Lu Chen and her sister, Chu Qingli immediately got up, planning to yield her place to them and leave the room.

"Sister, I won't disturb you guys," she said.

At this point, Chu Qingli was ready to leave, but just as she got up, Lu Chen grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her tender body into his embrace, making Chu Qingli sit on his lap.

Lu Chen whispered in Chu Qingli's ear, "Qingli, what are you doing? I didn't say you could go. So why are you leaving?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to bear my child to take revenge? If you leave so quickly, how will you get pregnant?"

Hearing this, Chu Qingli was stunned, and her cold face instantly flushed with red, her heart racing with the thought that the scoundrel might actually intend to do that sort of thing in front of her sister.

Chu Yuqin's face also turned even redder, suspecting that Lu Chen's insistence on keeping Chu Qingli from leaving was probably driven by such thoughts.

Chu Qingli quickly said, "Sister is pregnant, Prince. If you want to, please go to my room instead."

Being alone with Lu Chen, Chu Qingli would not feel anything amiss, but in the presence of her own sister, she could not accept it internally. She didn't want to let her sister witness her in her moments of disgrace.

Lu Chen replied, "No need. We'll stay in this room. I have something to discuss with your sister."

As he spoke, Lu Chen's hands moved to Chu Qingli's belt and directly pulled it out.

Seeing Lu Chen was actually serious, Chu Qingli immediately struggled, "No, my sister is right here!"

Without another word, Lu Chen stood up, placed Chu Qingli on the bed, then leaned down and sealed her lips with a kiss.
