Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 317: Pregnant

Chu Lian felt uncomfortable under his direct gaze. Her face instantly flushed and she turned her head away to avoid his eyes, but He Changdi caught hold of her chin and started raining kisses on her.

He started at the corner of her lips, then sucked on her full bottom lip and nibbled on it. Just as he was about to push deeper into her mouth, He Changdi seemed to recall something and quickly let go of Chu Lian.

Still immersed in the steamy bout of affection, Chu Lian couldn't make sense of what happened. Her originally bashful eyes fluttered open and she turned her confused, misty gaze upon He Changdi.

He Changdi's heart softened and he stroked her smooth, reddened cheeks lovingly. "I have a cold. I'm afraid I'll pass it to you."

It was then that Chu Lian found out why he had suddenly moved away.

She pressed her pink lips together. Using He Changdi's momentary distraction, she raised her body and attacked his thin, slightly pale lips.

Her little lithe tongue reached into his mouth, twisting around in exploration. He Changdi stiffened at the intrusion as the desire in his eyes thickened.

The thirst he had tried to resist was back in full force thanks to Chu Lian's simple gesture.

As he delved deeper into their kiss, He Changdi heard the woman in his arms say in a slightly muffled voice, "I'm not afraid of a cold."

A corner of his lips hooked up in a smile as he turned the tables on his invader and completely dominated her mouth in return.

Their battle continued until Chu Lian was gasping for breath.

He Changdi loosened his hold on her a little. Her sweet, fragrant breath fanned out in puffs right against his nose. He continuously placed tiny kisses at the corners of her mouth and cheek.

Chu Lian took a breather as she laid bonelessly against He Changdi's shoulders. It took some time before the flush on her cheeks faded away.

Neither of them broke the silence. Instead, they took comfort from leaning on each other.

It wasn't long before Chu Lian dozed off, still leaning against He Changdi.

By the time their carriage reached the Anyuan Estate, darkness had already fallen outside.

Seeing that Chu Lian was still sleeping soundly in his arms, He Changdi couldn't bear to wake her. He wrapped her up tightly in his cloak and carried her into the estate.

Even before they had reached the main courtyard they shared, Chu Lian had already woken up. However, thanks to He Changdi's bold actions, she was too shy to open her eyes and continued feigning sleep.

The main courtyard of their new estate was still called Songtao Court.

Once He Changdi entered their courtyard, he ordered the servants to call for Great Doctor Miao.

While Chu Lian had been in the pink of health initially, she had suffered some damage on the trip to the north. It had taken a period of nourishment in order to get her health back to normal. This time, she had also suffered some fright at the hunting grounds. Although the imperial physicians had given her a clean bill of health, He Sanlang was still worried for her.

Thus, he asked for Great Doctor Miao to take a look at Chu Lian the moment they were home.

Since they had moved out of the Jing'an Estate, Great Doctor Miao had followed them to the Anyuan Estate. Chu Lian had arranged for Great Doctor Miao to have his own courtyard and even a special medicine room. At his age, Great Doctor Miao didn't have much that he was interested in, aside from medicine and good food.
