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

"When your mother was in her teens, she obtained a bead that emitted a green light. I have no idea where she got that bead from. Afterward, she married the Sum Emperor, and every time the Sum Emperor visited her room, she used his essence blood to nourish the bead until one day, she implanted the bead into her own body. A few months later, you were conceived in her womb."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's answer, Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment and stopped his movements.

He had thought his biological father was someone else. Who would have imagined he came to be in such a manner?

It was all too fantastical.

Chu Qingli was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, but she overheard the conversation between Lu Chen and her sister and knew they were discussing something very important, so she didn't dare to move a muscle.

She also hadn't expected the origin of this scoundrel to be so special. No wonder her sister was unwilling to leave Lu Chen no matter what. It seemed her sister had promised Chu Yue to always protect this scoundrel.

After a while, Lu Chen resumed his activity and said while he busied himself, "So does that mean I'm truly the Sum Emperor's flesh and blood? After all, that green bead absorbed my father's essence blood."

Chu Yuqin responded, "I'm not sure about that."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, while your mother was pregnant, she would sometimes say some strange things to her belly, like how she often mumbled to herself that it would be great if you were really her child."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but think. From the sound of it, could it be that in his mother's eyes, he wasn't her real child?

Although he wasn't conceived through normal means, he did, after all, come from his mother's womb. How could his mother think that he wasn't her child?

Lu Chen then caught his breath and asked, "Huff... huff... Did she say anything else strange?"

Chu Yuqin answered, "She also said she truly wished to see you grow up, hoping you could live like an ordinary person."

As she spoke, Chu Yuqin's emotions dipped slightly. She sighed and said, "Thinking about it now, your mother probably said those words because she had already anticipated her own fate."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought to himself that his mother must not have been simple; she probably knew something about him.

It was a pity that his mother was no longer in this world. He couldn't ask her about his origins. It seemed he would need to find an opportunity to ask his maternal grandfather, maybe he knew something about his mother.

With this in mind, Lu Chen started to vigorously attend to Chu Qingli.

At this time, Chu Yuqin, who was beside them, glanced at Lu Chen and Chu Qingli and thought to herself that Chen'er must have been stirred by what she had said, which caused him to vent his negative emotions on Qing Li.

That might be for the best. Once Lu Chen had released all his negative emotions, he wouldn't feel so distressed anymore.

Time passed, and eventually, Chu Qingli lay limp on the couch. Lu Chen then turned his head to look at Chu Yuqin and smiled, saying, "My dear, it's so late, why aren't you coming to bed?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's face turned red. The scene that had just occurred was still echoing in her mind. Sadly, she was already with child and couldn't engage in such activities.

Chu Yuqin gave Lu Chen a reproachful look and then said, "If I didn't make room for you, would you have been able to stretch out?"

As she spoke, Chu Yuqin's face became incredibly hot, as if she wished she could vanish into a crack in the ground.

Lu Chen said, "Alright, it's so late, come and get some rest."

Since Lu Chen had said so, Chu Yuqin didn't say anything more. She slowly approached the bed, then untied her robe, revealing the white undergarment beneath.

Lu Chen didn't hesitate, he pushed Chu Qingli aside, then drew Chu Yuqin into his arms and kissed her.

Although they couldn't do anything too naughty, hugging and kissing were still fine.

…

The next morning.

When Lu Chen woke up, he saw Chu Qingli looking at him with a resentful expression, her eyes like those of a scorned woman.

Lu Chen, holding Chu Yuqin's soft body, then asked, "What's with that look?"

Chu Qingli huffed but said nothing.

The little rascal had made her lose face in front of her sister. He was utterly despicable.

What would her sister think of her now? She would surely see her as a shameless woman!

Detestable Lu Chen!

If it hadn't been for Lu Chen bullying her while talking to her sister about Chu Yue yesterday, she would have certainly fought back with all her might.

Then, Chu Yuqin, who was tightly held in Lu Chen's embrace, spoke up, "Chen'er, if you want to know more about your mother, go ask your maternal grandfather. He has always doted on your mother since she was a child, and he probably knows a lot that I'm unaware of."

Lu Chen said, "Mm, I will go later."

As they spoke, Lu Chen's hands began to gently roam over Chu Yuqin's body, and then he whispered in her ear, "My dear wife, your body is so soft and warm, it feels so nice to hold you."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's face turned red once again. This little rascal, always teasing her, knowing full well that she was with child and couldn't share pleasures with him, yet still arousing her like this.

Seeing Chu Yuqin's face flush and her eyes misting, Lu Chen stopped teasing her and got up.
