**Inside Gentian House**

The room is filled with soft light and the scent of incense, Wei Wuxian, heavily pregnant with a large belly, is seated on a comfortable chair, looking particularly grumpy.

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji are standing nearby, clearly anxious but Lan Qiren, who is visiting to check Wei Wuxian's health, sits in a nearby chair, trying to hide his amusement.

Wei Wuxian crossed his arms and looked at his two alphas suspiciously, "I need some spicy pickled plums right now and I don't want to hear any excuses this time."

Lan Xichen tries to keep his cool and sweetly explains to the omegas, "Wei Ying, we're out of pickled plums but we have some more spicy options like mango pickle and lemon pickle."

Wei Wuxian angrily raises his voice and taunts, "What do you mean by alternatives? I don't want alternatives because I want what I asked for. If you guys can't even fulfill this small demand of mine, then you two have no right to be my alpha."

Lan Wangji gently placed his hand on Wei Wuxian's shoulder and said very politely, "Wei Ying, we will get the plums as soon as possible but it might take some time since plums don't grow this season and plum pickles are not available in all the nearby markets."

Wei Wuxian interrupts Lan Wangji with a death stare and raises his voice, "You two already have a responsibility to stock up on a year's worth of pickled plums for me because I'm starving right now. So you don't care about me anymore because I'm fatter than before and I'm not really handsome with a belly full of babies."

Lan Xichen sighs and tries to change the topic, "Wei Ying, you should take our word for it because maybe we can compromise. Maybe some pickled radish or kimchi will get you by for a few days?"

Wei Wuxian frowns and asks, "Compromise? I'm not interested in any compromise because I'm Lan Furen, so if I want pickled plums, I want them right now."

Lan Wangji looks worried and tries to reason with him again, "Wei Ying, maybe you can consider our suggestion because kimchi tastes delicious too."

Wei Wuxian immediately stands up and points at the door and scolds his two alphas, "You two should go and get the berries instead of trying to reason with me. If you don't, I'll report you two to uncle Qiren for being so careless with me."

Lan Xichen exchanges a worried look with Lan Wangji and gestures, "Not this again."

This is the third time this month that Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji have had to deal with their pregnant omega's rampage, where Wei Wuxian suddenly makes weird and bizarre demands.

Lan Qiren looks at his nephews' situation and raises an eyebrow and says with a hint of amusement, "What's the matter now? Can't you two even fulfill such a small demand for an omega?"

Wei Wuxian walks slowly towards Lan Qiren and pretends to cry, "Uncle, those two haven't been buying me my pickled plums and now they don't even take care of me because I'm fat."

Lan Qiren tries not to laugh and replies in a slightly funny tone, "Ah, I get that my nephews are useless now but what do you want me to do about it?"

Wei Wuxian sighs dramatically and says in a sad voice, "Uncle, I need those plums to feel better because they're the only thing that can make me happy right now and eating them doesn't make me feel any less upset otherwise I often feel sad when I find myself fat due to pregnancy."
