She only dared to step foot inside after testing the booby trap several times and ensuring that there were no longer any arrows.

The space inside was brightly lit, and she could see everything clearly.

Never before in the three decades of her life had she ever seen such extravagance and lavishness.

A jade coffin near her caught her attention, and she began walking toward it.

The coffin had an exquisite and ingenious design. The top of the coffin was made of a layer of crystal that allowed the contents of the coffin to be seen from above.

Inside the coffin lay a female corpse that was clothed in a pink, collared floral dress. Her slender fingers were rested atop her abdomen, and there was a handkerchief covering her face. An Xiaoning could not make out her features just yet.

An Xiaoning did not feel uneasy at all because she had seen the corpse of Jin Qingyan’s incarnate from the previous lifetime before. In order to avoid further delay, she removed the lid of the coffin and reached in to remove the handkerchief on her face. She got a huge shock as soon as she did.

The woman had a small face, about the size of a palm. Her eyebrows were long and thin, and she had a delicate nose bridge, as well as lips that resembled a cherry.

She exuded an aura of tenderness as she lay peacefully in the coffin, appearing as if she had just fallen asleep.

What an ancient beauty. It’s such a pity that she doesn’t exist now and that her soul has already escaped long ago, leaving behind this shell that has yet to decompose, An Xiaoning thought to herself.

An Xiaoning picked the corpse up, only to find that it was extremely light.

It seemed to weigh around 40 kilograms and had a height of less than 1.6 meters.

An Xiaoning carried the corpse out and closed the stone door before making her way up.

Fan Shixin was filled with anxiety while waiting for her above ground. Upon the sight of her return, he hurriedly took the corpse from her, only to be shocked by how beautiful the deceased woman was. “Young Madam, did you bump into the three of them?” Fan Shixin asked.

“I’ve knocked He Yi and Wen Lele unconscious. The other guy was not that lucky though. He trespassed on a secret chamber and was killed by a booby trap. We can’t stay here any longer. We must leave quickly.”

“Okay.”

In order to reduce the effort required, An Xiaoning told Fan Shixin to carry the corpse on his back while she tied the corpse’s wrists around his neck with a rope.

Regardless of how beautiful the woman was, she was still a corpse, and Fan Shixin could not help but feel uneasy. Although he did not expect that this would happen, he had no choice but to bear with it and forced himself to complete the mission. Everything would be fine once they accomplish the task.

Fan Shixin was dog tired by the time they made it out. They would definitely have to stay behind for a night to replenish their energy.

They decided to settle on another motel near the entrance of the town and stayed there temporarily for a night.

Ling Ciye and Jin Qingyue happened to bump into Song Yan and her husband when they were at the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

Song Yan was there for a physical examination for she was getting ready to conceive, whereas Jin Qingyue was there to check on her fetus.

Both of them were slightly taken aback to bump into each other along the corridor.

Jin Qingyue smiled and greeted, “What a coincidence, Ms. Song.”

Song Yan got rid of the tinge of unhappiness in her eyes and answered, “It is very coincidental. What a small world. I came to the hospital for a checkup because I’m preparing to get pregnant.”

“Oh, I see. I shall congratulate you guys in advance for becoming parents-to-be. Ciye and I are here for a prenatal checkup.”

“How far along are you?”

“Three months. Alright, you guys go ahead, we’re going in now.”

Song Yan and her husband nodded while Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye walked past them, hand in hand.

Ever since she got married, Song Yan had been reducing her workload and was living a rather carefree life. However, one would tend to overthink when they’re at peace.

She would feel as if everything was a dream whenever she thought about her past with Ling Ciye.

They were in a relationship for so many years and yet fate still separated them.

They were both married to different people, and their relationship had now become a thing of the past.

Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye did not have to wait for too long since they had already arranged an appointment with the gynecologist beforehand.

After going through several different checkups, it finally came time for the ultrasound scan.

When Jin Qingyue lay on the bed with her shirt lifted up, the doctor asked, “Would you like to find out the gender of the fetus?”

“Yes.”

“No need for that.”

Jin Qingyue was the one who wanted to find out the baby’s gender whereas Ling Ciye felt that it made no difference.

The doctor smiled and said, “I’ll just show it to you guys.”

Jin Qingyue was filled with nervousness and anxiety, for she was hoping fervently that it would be a baby boy. That way, her parents-in-law would be pleased and stop criticizing her. Moreover, Ling Ciye was the only son in his family, a fact that Jin Qingyue was well aware of.

Although it was clearly a short period of waiting time, the minutes felt like years to her.

“Mrs. Ling, the fetus is very healthy, and I can tell that you’ve been providing it with proper and sufficient nutrition. The child… has a member.”

Jin Qingyue sprung up immediately and asked, “Doctor, is it really a boy?”

“Yes, it can’t be wrong,” the gynecologist assured her upon seeing how elated she was.

As happy as a lark, Jin Qingyue looked at Ling Ciye and exclaimed in joy, “Hubby, did you hear that? It’s a boy!”

She sounded rather proud of herself.

Ling Ciye’s smile widened as he answered, “I heard what the doctor said, you don’t have to be so loud.”

How could Jin Qingyue not be agitated? She knew that her status in the Ling family would now be different.

All because she was bearing a son.

Her life would be much easier without the criticism from her parents-in-law.

She could not help but be thrilled at the thought of it.

While on the way home from the hospital, Jin Qingyue was just like a chatterbox and she could not stop talking about their unborn son.

“Hubby, let’s go back to your parents’ place now and inform them of this good news.”

“Hubby, we must prepare the baby’s nursery beforehand and decorate it like a baby boy’s room. We also have to buy some clothes for him.”

“Oh right, Hubby, we must name our son too. There are so many things we have to do.”

“…”

Ling Ciye was much more composed compared to her. However, he was soon influenced by her excitement.

He kept his happiness to himself. The baby’s gender did not matter to him at all. After all, regardless of whether it was a boy or girl, it would still be his child, wouldn’t it?

However, he nonetheless heaved a sigh of relief for his wife upon hearing that they were expecting a baby boy. Well, if their firstborn were a girl, Jin Qingyue would definitely insist on conceiving again to try for a boy.

In this case, they could stop at one child.

After pulling up outside the entrance of the Ling family home, the pair alighted from the car together.

Noticing that she was about to walk toward the door, he yelled, “Qingyue, wait a minute.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” asked Jin Qingyue, who stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him.

Ling Ciye stepped forward and placed his hands on her shoulders, gripping them gently. Gazing at her affectionately, he said, “Thank you.”

Jin Qingyue understood his reason for thanking her. Feeling rather touched, she extended her arms and hugged him tightly. “We’re family.”
