"How old is the child?" Rafas tightly held Yan Wushuang's hand, filled with excitement.
"Just about four weeks, one month!" the doctor replied professionally.
Rafas turned to Yan Wushuang and softly whispered in her ear, "Darling, our child has finally come back to us."
"Mm..." Yan Wushuang's eyes were filled with tears as she gently stroked her abdomen with her fair hand; the child was finally back by her side.
The two embraced each other excitedly, and everyone in the room stepped out, leaving them their own space.
The doctor had advised that her body was relatively weak. She had just experienced a miscarriage a few months ago, and now, only three months later, she was pregnant again, making her body weaker than normal.
To prepare for the arrival of this child, Rafas had specially transferred a capable assistant from Shouya to live in the castle, ensuring that he could take care of her at all times.
Originally, Shouya would have been the best choice, but he had been deeply engrossed in researching other projects lately and was hardly seen.
It was the weekend, and this day was when Morina had arranged to play golf with Rafas. Yan Wushuang knew they had set a time and place, but now that she was pregnant, Rafas certainly couldn't take her out running around.
"Lefas, are you really not taking me out?" Yan Wushuang looked at him with disappointment and asked.
"My dear, you know you are now a key protected person, right? So you can only stay at home obediently. If anything happens while you're out, what will we do about our baby? He has only just returned to us; do you want to lose him again?" Rafas held her gently and comforted her.
"But staying at home all day is really boring and dull. Just take me out; I will sit quietly on the side watching you play. I promise I won't disturb you at all, okay?" Yan Wushuang hugged him back and pleaded earnestly.
Her pitiful appearance made Rafas feel conflicted. If he took her with him, he worried about potential accidents; if he left her at home, seeing her like this would surely make her unhappy. What should he do?
After a moment of silence, Rafas suddenly took out his phone from his pocket, holding Wushuang in one arm while dialing a number with the other.
"It's me. Let's change the location today. Shuang'er is pregnant, so it's not good for her to walk around the golf course with us." After some thought, he came to this conclusion.
Both he and Morina enjoyed playing active sports and didn't like just staying in one place to play golf. That would require constantly driving around the course, and with Wushuang being pregnant, he couldn't take that risk!
When Morina heard the news about Yan Wushuang's pregnancy, there was a moment of disappointment on her face, but she quickly adjusted her mood and replied with a tone of blessing, "Then let's play tennis. Wushuang can rest on the side and watch us play."
"Alright, it's settled then. We'll meet at the club!" After reaching a consensus, Rafas turned to look at the little woman in his arms; she was already beaming with joy.
Yan Wushuang secretly smiled, excitedly hugging him tightly.
The two of them went out together, both dressed in more casual attire. Rafas also carried a backpack containing warm water, tissues, and dried plums prepared for Yan Wushuang. He even packed an extra set of clothes for her, just in case she needed anything.
"Lefas, where are we going now?" Yan Wushuang asked excitedly as she linked her arm with his while sitting in the car.
"Royal Leisure Club Center," he answered simply.
"What do they have there?" she asked curiously.
"It's really big inside; it has almost every kind of sport. You'll see when we get there, but you can't wander off. You have to stick with me, okay?" he reminded her with concern.
Royal Leisure Club Center.
Rafas walked through the hall with the newly pregnant Yan Wushuang, passing several venues before arriving at the tennis court. Morina had already arrived before them and greeted Yan Wushuang with a smile upon her appearance.
"It seems that good news really brings joy, doesn't it? You two are both beaming with smiles, and now you've infected me too. Don't forget to let me know when the baby is born," Morina said, genuinely wishing them well despite feeling a bit unhappy at that moment.
"Don't worry, we will definitely inform you. But you better not be too stingy, you know what I mean?" Rafas said, wrapping his arm around Yan Wushuang, unable to hide his happiness.
Morina looked at his smiling face; having known him for so many years, she had never seen him look so genuinely happy. His smile was undoubtedly heartfelt, with no hint of insincerity.
"I say you two should go play already; I'll just sit here and watch!" Yan Wushuang urged them as she watched their banter.
The two men laughed and prepared at the side of the court. Morina had already prepared fresh fruits and juice for Wushuang, allowing her to sit comfortably and watch their duel.
Rafas wore his usual black casual outfit, while the elegant Morina donned a white ensemble. The two were perfectly contrasting in black and white!
At first, the ball speed was relatively slow, but after a few rallies, they gradually increased their power, swinging their rackets fiercely... Smack! The sound of the ball hitting the racket echoed repeatedly.
Yan Wushuang sat outside the court, glancing at the weather. The recent days had been quite pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, being pregnant made it inconvenient for her to move around much; only when Rafas had time could he accompany her outside.
The two men fought fiercely in black and white on the court, capturing Yan Wushuang's full attention. Many passersby stopped to take a closer look at them.
"Look! Isn't that Prince Morina? He looks so handsome..." A few women outside exclaimed excitedly.
"And isn't that the president of Monica? Just look at him without his mask—oh my... he's so outstanding! If only he were my man," some women grew more excited as they shouted encouragement to the two men in the court... Go!!!
Yan Wushuang heard their conversation clearly from not far away. Looking at the two outstanding men, she sighed; they truly were exceptional, and she had to admit that.
"Ugh..." A wave of nausea rolled over her, making her cover her mouth immediately. She took out a tissue and a dried plum from her bag and quickly popped one into her mouth.
The sour taste of the dried plum eased her discomfort slightly, but she still wanted to visit the restroom to feel better. She remembered seeing the restroom about a hundred meters behind her when she arrived. Not wanting to disturb Rafas, she covered her mouth and left her seat.
Just as she took a few steps, Rafas noticed something was off and saw her leaving. He wondered if she was feeling unwell again. Distracted, he missed the ball that Morina hit back, which struck him right on the cheek.
"Ah..." The women outside cheered loudly upon seeing their beloved man get hit by the ball, unable to contain their excitement.
"Are you okay?" Morina rushed over to check on his injury.
"I'm fine. Wushuang suddenly left, so I'm going to see what's wrong with her," Rafas said, feeling no pain at all; in his eyes, Wushuang was what mattered most.
Yan Wushuang found the restroom and felt much better after washing her face. As she stepped out, she saw Rafas rushing toward her in a hurry.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or is it that you don't like those women making noise?" Rafas asked, his cheek still red from being hit by the ball as he hurried over to find her.
After looking closely at him, Yan Wushuang noticed his face was flushed and nervously asked, "What happened to your face? You seemed fine just a moment ago. How did it get like this while I was gone?"
"It's nothing; it'll be fine in a bit. Just tell me if you're feeling unwell," Rafas said, gently touching her cheek with a very serious expression.
Seeing his concern for her made Yan Wushuang bury her face in his embrace and softly replied, "I'm not unwell; I just felt a little nauseous earlier."
"Have you eaten the dried plum I prepared for you? If you hold it in your mouth, you won't feel like throwing up," Rafas said, holding her tenderly.
"Don't worry, I've already got it in my mouth, so I have no reaction now. You don't need to be so nervous," she replied, opening her mouth slightly to show him.
Seeing her confirmation, Rafas felt relieved. However, Yan Wushuang looked at his flushed cheeks and wondered how that had happened. Could it be that he was hurt by the ball?
He took her back to the court, where the group of women still refused to leave. Earlier, when Morina was alone on the field, several women had approached him to flirt, but they all left empty-handed. No matter how beautiful those women were, he wouldn't even glance at them.
"Are you all okay? You all ran off and left me here alone. That's not very friendly!" Morina finally welcomed their return, feeling quite bored facing those women.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I felt a bit nauseous earlier, so I went to the restroom to wash my face. Lefas was worried about me and went to find me. Please don't blame him!" Yan Wushuang quickly explained as soon as she sat down.
Morina glanced at Rafas's swollen face and chuckled, "I hope he doesn't blame me for this!"
Yan Wushuang looked at the two of them in confusion. It seemed that Lefas's injury could indeed have been caused by Your Highness; it must have distracted him.
She linked her arm with Rafas's and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling happily...
Her actions made the women nearby envious. To be able to hook such an outstanding man’s arm and lean on his shoulder was worth sacrificing ten years of their lives.
The three of them stayed in the restaurant of the club for a meal. Rafas took great care of her, not allowing her to eat anything cold. He insisted that she eat Chinese food for now, so everything she consumed was arranged entirely by Rafas.
