Chapter 507 -167 Chen Jie: What, Huang Wan’er is pregnant? (Please subscribe)_6
And the longer the time, the harder it was to extricate herself.
Under Su Yunjin’s empathetic urging, Chen Jie finally opened the bamboo tube in his hand, only to glance at it twice before his expression dramatically changed.
Seeing this, Su Yunjin was taken aback and said, “What’s wrong, husband, what happened?”
At this moment, Chen Jie said gravely, “Huang Wan’er is carrying my child.”
What!
Hearing this, Bai Wenjing stood up abruptly, and Su Yunjin also widened her eyes, shockingly bewildered, but after the shock, she felt somewhat disappointed.
Huang Wan’er was pregnant, she had not been with her husband for long, and yet she had been with her husband for quite some time. Why hadn’t she become pregnant? Could there be something wrong with her?
Deep down, Su Yunjin began to feel deeply uneasy.
Huang Wan’er’s pregnancy meant her husband was not the issue, so was there something wrong with her after more than a year without conceiving?
Deep disappointment and panic filled Su Yunjin’s eyes. What if she could not bear children for her husband?
Well, at least Sister Huang was pregnant, so her husband would not be without descendants.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Chen Jie, and seeing that his face showed no joy, she said, “Husband, this should be a happy occasion, why do you look so gloomy?”
Chen Jie said, “Huang Wan’er has slipped up.”
“Ah?”
This stunned Bai Wenjing and Su Yunjin even more. What did slipping up imply?
Both looked at Chen Jie, who said, “Today, Nan Batian took her back. At dinner, she had morning sickness, which aroused Nan Batian’s suspicions. Nan Batian is now sending someone to fetch Liu Yishou. If Liu Yishou identifies her pregnancy pulse, both she and the child could be in danger.”
After hearing this, Su Yunjin asked, “How would Nan Batian know the child isn’t his?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Wenjing said, “Nan Batian damaged his kidney energy during martial arts training and can’t perform sexually; he cannot have children.”
“Ah~”

At this, Su Yunjin covered her mouth in surprise.
Chen Jie remained silent. He wasn’t surprised that Bai Wenjing knew this secret, given that he used to be one of the Inner Hall Eight Doctors, and even though he had left the organization, he should be aware of some internal matters of the Fishing Guild.
However, the urgent matter now was how to rescue Huang Wan’er.
She must have known what sort of woman she was; she wouldn’t have sought his help unless she was truly desperate.
And now the situation was quite tricky. Nan Batian had noticed something unusual about Huang Wan’er and had even gone to fetch Liu Yishou. With Liu Yishou’s medical skills, a mere pregnancy pulse could easily be detected.
When Nan Batian discovered Huang Wan’er’s infidelity and realized he had been cuckolded, he would surely seek extreme revenge.
He himself might not be in danger, but what about Huang Wan’er?
What sort of treatment would she face, and what about the child in her womb?
That was his child!
Chen Jie thought this when Su Yunjin stood up and said, “Husband, you must save Sister Huang.”
Hmm?
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, somewhat surprised. Su Yunjin continued, “Sister Huang is in danger now, and she’s also carrying the offspring of our old Chen family. There must be no mishaps, husband, you must save Sister Huang at any cost, and ensure nothing happens to her.”
Chen Jie, upon hearing this, glanced at Su Yunjin, somewhat shaken by her magnanimity.
Was this era so kind toward a rival in love?
Su Yunjin, aside from having a noble character, harbored a small concern. Over the past year, she had not become pregnant. She feared there might be an issue with her body, rendering her unable to bear children. If that were the case, the child inside Huang Wan’er would be all the more precious.
No matter what, the Chen family must not be left without an heir!
Thus, at this moment, Yunjin was somewhat desperate, “Husband, you must protect Sister Huang and her child.”
Chen Jie was in a difficult position. He wanted to save Huang Wan’er, but he had no way to start. If Liu Yishou went to take her pulse and confirmed it was a pregnancy pulse, then Huang Wan’er would be completely doomed.
His relationship with Liu Yishou was nothing more than a nodding acquaintance, and since he was also close to Nan Batian, it was almost impossible for him to hide anything for Chen Jie.
Aside from this, the only other idea he could think of was to take her by force!
But forcibly taking her would be disadvantageous to himself. He was not yet sure he could defeat Nan Batian, and trying to lure another man’s wife to kidnap her would also be unrighteous. He would be putting himself at a disadvantage.
While Chen Jie was troubled, Bai Wenjing beside him asked, “Jiu Si, what will you do?”
Chen Jie looked up, “It won’t work, I can only take her by force.”
Bai Wenjing said, “That would be the last resort. Coveting another’s wife and daughter is already despised, and kidnapping them as well, it’s unthinkable, unthinkable…”
Chen Jie fell silent. Bai Wenjing thought for a while and then said, “Let me think of a method for you, but whether it works will depend on you.”
Chen Jie looked at Bai Wenjing, who reached into her bosom and pulled out half a piece of wood.
She handed it to Chen Jie.
“What is this?”
Chen Jie looked at Bai Wenjing. Bai Wenjing said, “This is the Inner Hall suppression wood. I have half, Liu Yongnian has half.”
“Liu Yongnian?”
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes at Bai Wenjing. Bai Wenjing continued, “That’s Liu Yishou. His real name is Liu Yongnian. Take this half of the suppression wood to him and tell him I sent you. He might help you cover up this matter. However, this woman is pregnant, and it will show in three months; you can’t hide it for long. You’ll need to think of another way!”
Chen Jie replied, “Even if it holds off for one or two months, it’s good enough. Thank you, Master.”
Chen Jie bowed with his fists!
At the Fishing Guild Headquarters.
Huang Wan’er leaned against the bed, calming the discomfort in her chest, her hand caressing her abdomen, feeling the life inside that had not yet taken shape.
Du Juan stood beside her, nervously fiddling with her clothes, occasionally raising her head to look at Huang Wan’er, wanting to speak, but then hesitating.
Just then, two knocks sounded from outside, followed by Nan Batian entering. He looked at Huang Wan’er, “How are you feeling, madam?”
Huang Wan’er responded, “Better, much better, thank you, Gang Leader, for your concern.”
Nan Batian said, “Hey, you and I are husband and wife, no need for such formality. I saw you hadn’t eaten dinner, so I had the kitchen make some cakes for you. Try them!”
With a clap of his hands, a servant quickly brought in a plate of red cakes, still steaming.
“They’re fresh from the oven, madam. Eat them while they’re hot.”
Huang Wan’er looked at the red cakes in front of her, and without reason, her heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition arising. She looked at Nan Batian, “Gang Leader, what kind of cake is this? It doesn’t look like the usual style.”
Nan Batian laughed, “Haha, madam, this is not something you can eat often. I ordered the servants to make this with saffron.”
Hmm!
Huang Wan’er’s pupils dilated upon hearing this!
Saffron!
