Luckily, Qin Yun still cares about him. She used to occasionally call him husband, but lately, she’s been calling him husband all the time, making him quite comfortable.

"Husband, you’ve worked hard."

Qin Yun cut up some fruit and sat on the sofa, eating a piece herself and feeding him another.

The fruits on the plate are basically all his favorites.

"The wedding dress is almost ready. Tomorrow, we’ll have it delivered and try it on. If there are issues, we’ll modify it. Mom and Dad have already booked the wedding venue, and they’re preparing it these days. I’ve had Zheng Qian and Yuanyuan send out invitations to friends in our circle."

Pei Yan, soothed by Qin Yun, squinted his eyes, enjoying the fruit, and chatted idly with Qin Yun about the wedding.

Qin Yun nodded repeatedly, saying she has time and Pei Yan can make the arrangements.

Usually, watching others get married makes them busy to death, but the two of them are as idle as can be. Everything else is left to their parents, and they just have to eat well, drink well, sleep well, and finalize the wedding dress.

"Yeah, we’ll try it tomorrow, and see if there are any parts that need adjustment," Pei Yan said, touching Qin Yun’s belly, eyes flickering. "Should we make it a little looser?"

Qin Yun followed his gaze and quickly shook her head, "No need. The wedding is just over half a month away, and my belly won’t grow that fast. Besides, I asked, this is the first pregnancy, and the belly won’t show much in the first few months."

"Really?"

Pei Yan stared at Qin Yun’s belly thoughtfully.

"Yeah, if it doesn’t fit, we can change it later."

Qin Yun nodded, then fed another piece of fruit into Pei Yan’s mouth, "But you, you’re vomiting like this now. What if you vomit like that at the wedding?"

Pei Yan stiffened all over, as if just remembering that the wedding is soon, and his ’morning sickness’ hasn’t improved at all. His handsome brows knitted, and his expression turned pale.

"Do you think they’ll laugh at me if they see me like this?" Pei Yan’s voice sounded a bit aggrieved.

He slid off the sofa, hugged Qin Yun’s waist, carefully resting against her belly, complaining to the little one inside, "Kiddo, if Daddy gets laughed at, it’s all because of you. What can I do? You have to pamper your own child."

His serious demeanor made Qin Yun burst into laughter again.

She ate a strawberry and then fed Pei Yan a piece of dragon fruit.

Pei Yan, who had been calm, instantly became tense, "What did you give me?"

Qin Yun replied in confusion, "Dragon fruit."

Pei Yan’s mind flashed with the red image of dragon fruit, his stomach churned again, and he rushed to the bathroom.

"Pei Yan!"

Qin Yun left the fruit plate and followed after.

Another bout of vomiting left Pei Yan embarrassed and sitting on the floor, comical and pitiful.

Qin Yun carefully asked, "Are you alright?"

Pei Yan shook his head wearily, reaching out to Qin Yun.

He needed some comfort.

Qin Yun crouched down, hugged Pei Yan, and patted his back, "It’ll get better soon."

Although everyone says it’ll get better soon, the days still have to be lived day by day. Pei Yan visibly lost weight, his previously well-defined abs now even more angular, and Qin Yun has to touch them for a while before she can sleep.

Of course, once she’s asleep, Pei Yan has to get up to take a cold shower.

The doctor said this period is not suitable for any hanky-panky, so every day Pei Yan can only kiss and hug, resolving his own needs without disturbing Qin Yun, doing it stealthily when she’s asleep.

Pei Yan entered the bathroom and turned on the cold water.

Little C’s voice sounded faintly, "Your Highness, the outdoor temperature is only thirteen degrees."

What if he catches a cold showering with cold water like this?

Pei Yan ignored it, closing his eyes, "I’m not going out, I won’t catch a cold."

But Little C felt a bit concerned, "Your Highness, since you exchanged ten thousand Life Value points for Flat Peach, we only have over a thousand Life Value points now, and we need to hurry with our tasks."

Pei Yan casually nodded, "Okay."

"Due to the little one, our tasks have upgraded entirely. Any task related to the little one can greatly increase Life Value points."

Pei Yan paused: "Hmm?"

"From now on, our speed in earning Life Value points will significantly increase, and there are also hidden tasks."

Little C’s voice was filled with excitement, "If the hidden tasks are triggered, your Highness will gain half of the total Life Value points for the tasks."

"Half?"

Pei Yan stopped moving, frowned, and looked serious, "What tasks have such effects?"

"These are hidden tasks. Specific content can’t be revealed, but I can hint that the trigger for hidden tasks is with Tang Yun."

Little C was excited, thinking that once the hidden tasks are triggered, he would be close to success, with Heavenly Court beckoning him.

"Really?"

Pei Yan thought carefully. The only new thing recently was the Jade Pendant Qin Yun showed him and the little one in her belly.

Because of this little one, he still had to solve his own problems secretly in the bathroom, proving that this child was born to torment him.

But since this child was Qin Yun’s, just thinking about it made the hardships worth it.

Little C reminded him, "That’s right, Your Highness. Just pay a little attention, and the task progress will shorten significantly."

"Understood." Pei Yan nodded and then asked, "You previously mentioned task upgrades, anything related to the little one will increase Life Value points, like?"

"For example, naming the little one, buying items for them, these are all valid."

So simple?

Pei Yan’s eyes clearly brightened for a moment, elegantly turned off the water, took a towel to wipe his hands, "So buying clothes and socks for the little one can increase Life Value points?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Although small things like personal items don’t add much Life Value and can’t be repeated, things like daily prenatal education, telling stories, and singing can repeatedly earn Life Value points."

Little C very thoroughly explained the methods to increase Life Value points to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan also tidied himself up and changed into sleepwear.

"So from now on, my task speed will be double that of before. Not only will intimate contact with her increase Life Value points, but interacting with the little one will also add to the points. Once the child is born, my task speed should be even faster?"

Little C nodded with certainty, more excited than Pei Yan, "Indeed, Your Highness. With a little more effort, the Life Value points exchanged before will soon return."

Pei Yan replied faintly, "Okay."
