Chapter 5: Get Out If You Can’t Get Pregnant
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was a night of feeling being loved.
It had been nine o’clock when He Xiyan woke up. She rubbed her eyes, a shy blush still lingering on her face. The man had been long gone.
She replayed the night in her head.
His rapacious desire. His arousing caress. Though he’d always been caring in bed, he was supremely and pleasingly affectionate the night before, leaving hickeys all over her body.
Again, she looked down at her still flat belly, covering it with her hand.
(My baby, you must come this time. You must come! You will be the happiest child on the world because daddy and mommy love you so much.)
Xiyan said that to herself with her hopes flaring up. She closed her eyes as if she could already picture the baby’s look in her head – like her, like him.
Her mind wondering was pulled back by a high-pitched bellow snapped into the room.
“He Xiyan, what are you doing still in bed! Don’t you know that a lazy woman like you who doesn’t work out will have zero chance in having a baby?” Li Qin, her mother-in-law, her arms akimbo, taunted at the door.
Xiyan jumped off bed, dressed herself the fastest she could, and opened the door with a regrettable smile.
“I’m sorry, mother. I didn’t get much sleep last night, so I overslept again. I’ll go to gym for a run later,” she explained at once for fear of exasperating her mother-in-law.
Li Qin snorted with the same despise on her face.
“Listen, He Xiyan, I only have so much patience. I’ll give you one more year. Next year, if you still can’t get pregnant, even if my son still wants you, I will kick you out. You were not supposed to be here in the first place anyway.”

Voicing the warning coldly, Li Yuzhen [sic] clenched her fists and rolled her eyes at Xiyan.
She had never approved this daughter-in-law who schemed her way into the Mo family.
Xiyan was struck by what her mother-in-law just said. Those words were like a bucket of ice water poured to her body and her heart.
“Mother,” she called the woman in front of her with not anger but sadness in her voice, “mother, I can do it. Yixuan and I are going to give you a grandchild. Don’t worry.”
She assured the woman with distress.
Li Qin twitched a little, looking at her in cold silence. She opened her mouth to try to scold more but was interrupted by a ringtone.
“Mother, let me get this.”
Xiyan walked to the night stand to look at her phone. It was her friend, Xu Jing. She suddenly realized something and tapped her forehead – they said the day before that they were going to the gym together that day.
At the gym, Xu Jing had already finished her 3000m run. She kept looking at the door while wiping the sweat off herself before her friend finally showed up.
“Xiyan.” She trotted over, her worried face covered by sweat.
“Are you OK?” She asked with concern.
Xiyan nodded and tapped Xu Jing’s nose.
This silly, asking how she was. God knows what’s wrong with her.
“Your… Your husband, did he come home last night?” Xu Jing frowned, getting more concerned inside. She went to Xida Theatre to see the new movie with her fiancé last night and saw Mo Yixuan there. She was about to go say hi before she saw him holding another girl’s hand. What a bastard! She would have slapped that asshole on site if it weren’t for her fiancé.

“He did!” Xiyan knitted her brows and looked confused. Something’s weird about Xu Jing that day.
“Has he been treating you well?” Xujing had to clench her teeth to stop what she wanted to say from getting out.
She had been thinking all night about whether she should tell Xiyan about what she had seen but still couldn’t reach a conclusion. Her head hurt just thinking of it.
“He’s… been fine.” Xiyan nodded though her heart might say the other way. It’s not that she didn’t feel anything. In the past few months he’d been claiming being busy. More often he didn’t come home, said he was tired and just slept at the apartment near his company. Even when he did come home there was always someone texting at night.
“Xiyan,” Xu Jing pat Xiyan on her shoulder, her eyes filled with pity for her friend, “you just quit your job, didn’t you? Now that you have more time you need to keep a closer eye on your husband. With his look you’ve got to be vigilant. Otherwise you’ll only regret it if he’s seduced away by some woman.”
Xu Jing sighed, her heart aching for her friend who’s also her roommate in college. Some words couldn’t be said yet as she knew how much her friend loved that man, so much that she’d lost herself.

This reborn personal trainer is going to whip the royal army into shape!
Olympics Sports Trainer, Meg Thompson, had never even heard of an otome game, so when she died in Japan during the Tokyo Games and was reincarnated into one in error as the minor character, Briar Bell, she might have unintentionally messed just about everything up for the true heroine...Whether it was her befriending villainesses, or hanging out with capture targets, from the moment she was born she was setting the plot careening off course. (although if you ask her, the original storyline was stupid and hopeless to begin with #SorryNotSorry)The Heroine was supposed to seduce this medieval-esque kingdom's most eligible bachelors in order to use the power of their love to stop the encroaching demon army from destroying humanity with her heart magic. Playing the role of 'heroine' was another reincarnated woman named Sakura, a hardcore Japanese otaku who had previously been hit by a truck in a tale as old as time.Whether it is the fault of Sakura's social ineptness (as Briar would claim) or from her own interventions, humanity is now heading towards total decimation. Seems like she'll have to brush off her coaching skills and get this royal army into fighting form.
