The Emperor and his lover

Chapter 50| Pregnancy

The next morning, when Huang Dewei woke up and got ready in his royal guard uniform. He was ready to perform his duties. He came out from his residence when he heard the news of Xin Ying was pregnant had spread everywhere. He felt his heart drop because now everything was probably going to change. The moment he feared the most was finally here.

 Now, Wang Lei will get busy building his family and Huang Dewei was going to be left behind. Huang Dewei was probably already out of the picture. He can never fit into Wang Lei and Xin Ying's family picture...He was an outsider... He somehow wanted to believe Wang Lei's words that he was not taking any revenge on him but his heart was too stubborn...When he reached Wang Lei's office chamber, Cheng told him his Majesty had already gone to meet Xin Ying and Huang Dewei's heart even dropped more. He felt restlessness spreading inside his body as he just nodded his head and came back to his room. Meanwhile, Wang Lei was shocked, surprised and happily looking at Xin Ying as he was confirming the news. 

'Yes, I am pregnant with your child. It happens after we spread that night together.' Xin Ying confirmed as she blushed and Wang Lei nodded his head contented. He never planned that night or this child but he was not some jerk who will not take up his responsibility. That child will feel wanted and loved by him. 

'Thank you very much...I will take full responsibility for this child and will take care of and love that child...I promise to be the best father to this unborn child and will take care of you as well. I am thankful to you Xin Ying.' Wang Lei said as he promised her and she looked at him and smile sadly because he only promise to love the child but not her. She knew he already told her that night to happen to fulfil his duty and he bear no feelings for her, but it still hurts. She also knows he would never love her since she already knew he loves Huang Dewei. You can never love two people at the same time nor you can love them equally. 

'It is my pleasure to provide you child and this nation with its next Emperor.' Xin Ying said and Wang Lei just nodded his head when her door was opened as Wang Wei and Li Qiang entered inside. Her father walked toward her and happily hugged her over the news. 

'You did it, my daughter. I am proud of you.' Li Qiang whispered to her and she just nodded his head as she knew he was happy about the power and money he was going to get from it. She said nothing...she could not even express her sadness and how hurtful it was knowing her husband do not love her and her father does not even care. Only if she would have a mother, she might have been able to express everything to her, but she lost her mother when she was very young. Wang Wei also expressed his happiness and congratulated them even though he knew about her pregnancy already. 

However, when that news reached Chen Ju she was extremely angry and heartbroken. She was already in pain due to yesterday Huang Dewei's concubine ceremony and then they dropped another bomb on her head. She was full of hate and jealousy. She could not help and cursed Xin Ying and prayed her child would die. She wanted to destroy the whole world yet she was helpless. She had even started hating her life. All she wanted was Wang Lei's love and his child yet she was left empty-handed. At least she have no threat from Huang Dewei of giving birth to Wang Lei's children so she was hopeful that she might become the mother of the next Emperor but now even that was gone. It was snatched away from Xin Ying. She could not help, but cry and cursed other people's fate. 

All the relatives and family friends of Xin Ying and Wang Lei came to congratulate her and Huang Dewei spread all day in his room. He did not see Wang Lei all day and he knew he was probably there busy with her. It was a piece of big news for everyone and even though half the people were not happy such as Chen Ju and An Cong's side of the family and half of them don't even care, they all still came to congratulate them. 

Huang Dewei spread all day inside his room and later in the evening he decided he need to go and congratulate her. Even though he already has done it when they call and told him in private, but as his concubine, it was his duty to do it. He does not want to look ill-mannered and rude in front of other people since no one else knows that he already congratulated her in private except Wang Wei. To show other people he went, he took off his royal guard uniform, wore back expensive luxurious male concubine clothes and came out. He went to the back of the small garden in his residence and took out a few chine aster flowers and came out. These purple flowers were Xin Ying's favourite.
