The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1756 - 1770: Pregnancy Chronicles (5)

"Since when have you ever purchased a lottery ticket?" Jian Anning cast a glance back at him. "Moreover, even under the most favorable circumstances, this child is still quite frail."

A sharp pain pierced Jian Anning’s heart at the mere thought: "He is so tiny; even if it’s not a case of conjoined twins, raising him will be a challenge... If Dad and Mom, Grandpa and Grandma were to discover this, then we..."

Yu Zexiao understood her concerns all too well. Nevertheless, he resolved to remain strong for her sake: "Do not be afraid; there is no definitive outcome yet. Our child is certainly intelligent and healthy. How could anything possibly go wrong?" Despite his words, he paused, then made a phone call as he entered the car.

"Hello, Yunting, are you there?" The instant the call connected, an uproar erupted from the other end. A loud crash, like something shattering, was followed by the piercing cries and gleeful giggles of a child. Then came Leng Yunting’s furious bellow: "Xiaobao, get outside this instant, now!"

He then resumed the conversation: "What is it?"

On any other occasion, Yu Zexiao would have certainly engaged in some lighthearted banter. However, at this moment, a singular emotion consumed him: an overwhelming sense of urgency!

"Is Aunt Feng at home?"

"Huh? You’re asking about my mother? She is indeed home today." Feng Linxue held a demanding position that frequently kept her away from home. Normally, any visits required prior notification to the Leng Family. This was unprecedented, them arriving unannounced like this.

"We are on our way immediately." Yu Zexiao’s voice was heavy with urgency. "I apologize for the intrusion."

"What is happening?" Leng Yunting, sensing the gravity in Yu Zexiao’s tone, inquired swiftly.

His mother was a physician. The fact that they needed her urgently suggested a serious incident had occurred at home.

"We shall discuss it upon our arrival." Yu Zexiao’s brow furrowed, the concern for the child evident.

This greatly astonished Leng Yunting, as Yu Zexiao seldom spoke with such a somber tone. When he did, it invariably signified a matter of extreme seriousness.

"Understood. I will inform my mother."

After ending the call, Yu Zexiao accelerated, his vehicle racing towards the Leng Family residence.

Meanwhile, the earlier pandemonium within the Leng Family household had largely subsided. As for Xiaobao, he remained outside, still enduring his father’s imposed punishment of standing, his small chest puffed out in an expression of utter defiance.

Mu Shang’en, conversely, possessed an inherently timid disposition. He had been playing with Xiaobao earlier primarily because Xiaobao was a year his senior. Little boys, as a rule, tend to gravitate towards slightly older companions. Xiaobao’s commanding presence was undeniable, consistently dominating his kindergarten peers whenever they met. Mu Shang’en held a genuine admiration for this elder ‘brother.’ What else could one expect when two young boys joined forces?

Furthermore, though he was not formally part of the Leng Family, and Leng Yunlin treated him as his own, a subtle undercurrent of caution persisted when interacting with the parents.

Today, as the two boys departed for kindergarten, one of Xiaobao’s teachers, harboring a distinct dislike for him, issued a reprimand. The young troublemaker did not immediately react. Despite his somewhat withdrawn nature, his intellect was undoubtedly formidable. Being a computer prodigy, he had prompted Mu Shang’en to engage the teacher with questions immediately after class, creating a distraction. Seizing the opportunity, Xiaobao swiftly bypassed the teacher’s phone security and unearthed all the compromising private messages she had been exchanging. He then orchestrated their display during a school-wide presentation via a PowerPoint, ensuring both the staff and the students at the kindergarten bore witness to everything.
