Immediately following, a child's cry echoed through the room.
Hearing the child's cry, Xiao Wenyao was momentarily stunned. Her instinct told her this was her child, but she hadn't felt anything just now—had the child simply come into the world like that?
Xiao Wenyao slowly shifted her body, then looked down only to find that her bulging belly had disappeared.
Xiao Wenyao couldn't help thinking that the people of the Prince's Mansion hadn't been wrong—giving birth as a woman of the Prince's Mansion wasn't so difficult after all. She recalled the people of the grasslands saying that childbirth could cost half one's life, and she had always felt some fear regarding it.
But now, the child was born just like that.
Lu Chen said to a bewildered Xiao Wenyao with a smile, "Yaoyao, from today on, you are a mother too. You can't continue playing around as you did before."
