When Wang Qingci snapped back to reality, she stared into Lu Chen's eyes with unabated disbelief, searching his face for any trace of teasing.
However, at that moment, Lu Chen wore only a faint smile, and one of his hands was gently caressing her belly, nothing at all resembling someone making a joke.
Wang Qingci still couldn't bring herself to believe it. She remembered that the last time they were intimate had been in the study of the old Prince's Mansion, and she had immediately expelled all impurities from her body the day after returning—how could she possibly have been impregnated?
Moreover, she hadn't felt anything unusual in her body during this period. If she had truly been impregnated, she should have noticed something.
With these thoughts, Wang Qingci looked into Lu Chen's eyes and asked, "My Prince, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Do you think I would joke about this kind of matter with you?"
