In addition to the two matters with Golovin and the Earth Defense Alliance, an extraordinary event also happened recently.

This matter was so serious that Jiang Chen, the executive of the alliance, was absent from the Earth Defense Alliance committee meeting on the “Project Trench”. His absence left Kelvin sitting there as well as the committee members staring at each other…

As for what happened that made Jiang Chen so flustered.

Um…

It could be summarized in one sentence.

Sun Jiao is pregnant…

Is pregnant.

Pregnant.

Important things must be said three times.

“…I’m not that delicate, I’m just pregnant with a baby.” Sun Jiao watched Jiang Chen carefully bring the food to her side and cool the food in the spoon before he put the spoon to her lips. She couldn’t stop rolling her eyes as she snatched the bowl in his hand. and placed it on the bedside table next to her. While she viciously gritted her teeth, she said, “Enough, if this continues, I’m going to go crazy, I’d rather fight with Death Claws! ”

“Sister, you can’t do this, be careful with your baby…” Xiaorou, who stood on the side, rarely did not tease her sister. Thus, she also joined to persuade her.

“NONSENSE! My body is in good health, very well! BLURR…”

Before she finished, Sun Jiao held on to Jiang Chen and threw up all over the place…

After she encountered a not-so-pleasant experience, she finally settled down. However, she was not the type to remain calm. It didn’t take a week before she looked at Jiang Chen with teary eyes as she blinked in a wimpy state.

“Or…I won’t give birth to this child?”

Jiang Chen, who held the millet porridge, stared at her and almost dropped the bowl.

“Don’t, don’t be angry…” Sun Jiao rolled her eyes, then her eyes stopped on Xiaorou who held a towel, “What do you think of my sister? Isn’t it the same for her to give birth instead of me…”

“Sister, you can’t say such things.” Xiaorou raised her eyebrows, and in the rare scenario, took a serious stance, “I will be angry if you continue to act like this.”

“Okay, okay, AHHHHHHH! I’ll just lie down!”

After the wild kitten settled down in defeat, she finally didn’t resist and bit onto the spoon Jiang Chen put close to her mouth. Then, she ate the bowl of porridge bit by bit while she stared straight.

Neither Xiaorou nor Yao Yao had any experience in taking care of pregnant women, let alone children in the future. As for Lin Lin, it would be fortunate if she could take care of herself, let alone someone else.

Although Ayesha took the initiative to take care of Sun Jiao, Jiang Chen didn’t want to leave this trouble to her, not to mention that her job was not easy. Ghost Agents were the eyes of Celestial Trade, and it was needless to emphasize the importance of eyes.

As for Xia Shiyu, although she worked very hard to discuss recipes with Yao Yao and study what should be given to pregnant women to help the growth of the baby, as a person who never gave birth before, and another person who looked like a child, it would be odd if they could come up with anything useful!

Finally, Jiang Chen thought of a suitable candidate.

In order to take care of Sun Jiao, he invited Qian Xia over.

This was not a temporary decision made on the fly. He still gave a lot of thought about bringing Qian Xia to Xin.

He probably wouldn’t have much chance to go to the mansion in Nippon anyway. He originally bought it to take advantage of the bottom in the Yoto real estate market as an investment. But now, this small investment did not matter to him. Conversely, people in Yoto used this as an entry point to flatter him in every possible way, and it made him feel that the deal was really a loss to him.

Since he preferred this maid’s work, it would be a shame to just leave her over there.

It happened that Sun Jiao was pregnant and needed professional care, so Jiang Chen brought her from Nippon

Of course, he specifically asked for his girls’ opinions on this matter.

There was no consensus, but at least there was no opposition.

After all, she was a nursing professional, and she was definitely more experienced than amateurs when it came to pregnancy care. And because of the special nature of Jiang Chen’s family, it was impossible to hire someone they didn’t know the background of. Although because of Qian Xia’s sensitive identity as Jiang Chen’s “little lover”, he had gotten countless eye rolls from the girls. However, in the end, even the most possessive Xia Shiyu agreed on this.

“There’s already eight anyway, I don’t care if there is one more.” One night after they drank some wine, Jiang Chen asked about this before going to bed. Xia Shiyu, who was wrapped in a bath towel, sat on the sofa, tilted the wine glass in her hand while she dangled her slender legs and replied in a drunken tone.

It was not that Jiang Chen couldn’t understand her feelings.

Just…

Where did number eight come from?

“…You already made her pregnant. From my perspective, our family is not the kind of unjust people. If you do that kind of thing, you will be despised by others! You are now a public figure, if you get into a… scandal over this, the impact is quite bad! I think Sun Xiaorou looks pretty. Her butt looks like she can definitely give birth to a son… If you want my opinion, you might as well marry her.” Perhaps Jiang Chen’s mom watched too many soap operas but after she heard about this, she scolded Jiang Chen over this countless times

“Mom, her name is Sun Jiao… Xiaorou is her younger sister.”

“What, her…sister? Then you and her sister…you, you…”

Jiang Chen’s mom’s eyes widened.

There was no need to think, he could already guess what his mother was going to say, so he quickly changed the topic.

“Let’s not talk about this, let’s continue talking about what we discussed before. I will definitely get married this time. Don’t worry, your own son is definitely aware of the situation. I’m not the kind of person that abandons the girl!”

That’s right!

I have already decided.

He did not dare to say nonsense like “you are all my wings (1)”.

After all, he felt guilty towards those people that love him.

He already received all of their love, but all he could give back was equally divided love. Therefore, Jiang Chen already vowed in his mind that he would do his best to live up to everyone’s sincerity.

Although it was a little shameless to say it, no matter who asked, he would definitely say it out with certainty.

If he had to marry, he would marry everyone together.

He made this decision a long time ago.

“Come on, don’t fool your mother. I certainly know the thoughts you young people have. You are no longer young. You are in your thirties, and you took care of your career. Now it is time to settle down. At least give me a grandson, when the time comes, I can give good news to your grandpa and grandma…”

“Mom, don’t say such things,” Jiang Chen coughed awkwardly, “I promise you and dad can live until a hundred years old.”

This sentence was not a joke.

If she was willing, she could be holding her great-great-grandson.

However, Jiang Chen’s mother didn’t realize that her son was not joking.

“A hundred years old? You’re just saying sweet things to make me happy? What’s the point to live for so long? It’s better to watch you be safe than anything else,” Jiang Chen’s mom said in a disheartened tone after she saw the cigarette butt between his fingers, “Also, didn’t you quit a long time already? Why did you start smoking again?”

As Jiang Chen listened to his mother’s scolding, he silently flicked the snoot off of his cigarette…

(1) You are all my wings – The reference is to a Japanese anime “Macross Frontier”. It was said by the male protagonist to the two female protagonists, of which he was unwilling to give up either. It became synonymous with being a player.

When did he start smoking again?

Jiang Chen couldn’t remember the exact time. He only vaguely remembered that it was after Sun Jiao’s pregnancy. On the way home one day, he somehow went into a nearby store, bought a pack of cigarettes for around ten, and then put one in his mouth…

The taste was really nostalgic.

There was a hint of acridity in the taste.

How long has it been?

He couldn’t remember.

After he came out of his parents’ place, he didn’t drive home immediately. Instead, he went to the beach that was on the way.

Jiang Chen parked the car on the side of the road and rested his arms against the railing of the observation deck, with a pair of sunglasses, he gazed at the sea in the distance and zoned out.

As the Sun set, the woman juggling on the stone brick path, as well as the swimmers who played in the water, seemed to be a painting on a canvas. From the laughter that traveled along the sea breeze, he felt a familiar feeling

He seemed to be in the same position at that time.

It was just that, back then, he was a nobody. But now, even if he was taking a smoke here, there were at least a dozen people who protected him secretly…

He shook his head with a smile, then tossed the unfinished cigarette into the trash can next to him.

It was probably the last one.

He took off his sunglasses and stuffed them into his pocket. He ignored the passers-by who looked surprised or took out their phone in excitement as he walked slowly in the direction of his Luer 2020 Commemorative Model.

As time passed day by day, Sun Jiao’s belly gradually began to bulge.

She stared at her belly a little worriedly, because she never give birth to a child, and she never even thought that she would be a mother one day. Sometimes she looked confused, and sometimes, she had a joyful grin.

Every time she showed that happy smile, the girls would be envious.

Especially Ayesha.

From time to time, she would look at Jiang Chen eagerly with a hopeful expression.

Although she didn’t say anything, her eyes, like water, had already said what she wanted to say.

Xia Shiyu was also one of them. Although she said that she didn’t want children because it was too troublesome and she couldn’t take care of her work, every time she said that her eyes would be peeking at Jiang Chen’s body unnaturally.

During this period of time, Jiang Chen got skinner, as if all the extra meat had been transferred to Sun Jiao’s belly. It wasn’t because he was taking care of Sun Jiao. Since Qian Xia moved here, the presence of a professional made Jiang Chen feel a lot more relieved.

But at night…

For the first time, Jiang Chen felt that excessive happiness would also be problematic.

“Madam’s body is very healthy, even I was surprised. Generally speaking, about two months into the pregnancy, there will be a period of weakness, and this period is also the most vulnerable time for pregnant women… But from madam’s body, I can’t feel any weakness at all.”

After Qian Xia helped Sun Jiao to bed, she gently closed the door behind her and just happened to run into Jiang Chen in the hallway. The intelligent maid quickly understood why Jiang Chen was here, so she said softly.

After he let out a long breath, Jiang Chen smiled, relieved.

“Thanks a lot.”

“It’s okay, it’s my honor to serve.” Qian Xia smiled and bowed politely. After she instructed a few things for Jiang Chen to pay attention to during the pregnancy, she turned around and returned to her room.

Because of fear of affecting the baby, since Sun Jiao’s belly started to grow, the times she went to the apocalypse also decreased significantly.

In the past, most of the NAC’s government affairs were handled by the First Lady of the General. After only a mere one month of absence, the government affairs on the desk were piled up like a small mountain.

Even though he was reluctant to do so, at this time, Jiang Chen could only resolutely pick up the duties of the General again. As a result, many people were surprised to discover that the rarely seen General actually signed-in at the General’s Mansion every day for the first time.

Instead, it was Madam Sun, who used to appear every day, that disappeared from their sight.

Their confusion did not last long.

At one of the NAC high-level meetings, Jiang Chen picked an appropriate time. After Cheng Weiguo reported on the growth of the NAC’s reserves, he unexpectedly announced the good news to everyone.

“To make a long story short, I’m going to be a father.”

The meeting room became quiet.

From Wang Qing on the left, people’s reactions were stunned at first, and then joy, and eventually ecstasy…

Throughout this year, there were no more exciting news than this.

After people heard the good news, many people even burst into tears of excitement.

For an oligarchy like NAC, the descendants of the leader were more important than anything else, just like the emperor’s prince. For the subordinates loyal to NAC, with their lives integrated with NAC, even if NAC conquered more land and built more colonies overseas, it was not as crucial as Jiang Chen giving them a healthy heir.

This heir did not necessarily need to be better than his father, he could even be mediocre. As long as he was not too screwed up, it would be enough!

The territory that NAC conquered could last at least three to four generations.

They just needed someone that could protect this piece of land, and it would be sufficient.

The news spread like wildfire, since Jiang Chen did not deliberately conceal it.

The Sixth Street cheered and celebrated for a whole week, and joy was written on the faces of almost everyone.

Only those survivors who had just awakened from the low-temperature hibernation chamber had sad expressions on their faces. Because the dictator had a son, this piece of land was one step farther away from the once free and prosperous Pan-Asia Cooperation.

Of course, this small group of people only dared to think about it, they did not dare to speak out their minds.

Because the last one who drank too much and loudly accused the General of “tyranny” had his teeth beaten out by the mercenaries next to him.

Zhou Guoping, who was far away in North America, even ordered the guards of Outpost Town to set off fireworks all night. Lu Fan, once a member of the General Guards, rushed back to Wanghai from Shangjing. He personally offered congratulations to Jiang Chen and a precious gift— a coat weaved from the nape of the saber-toothed beast in the northern wasteland.

Almost everyone cheered for the upcoming successor.

The reason why more than half of the settlements destructed on the wasteland, no matter how strong they were, was due to the succession of the regime.

The prestige of the General was naturally unchallenged, and no one was qualified to challenge.

Whether it was his strategic foresight or individual bravery that was enough to battle against the Mother of Death Claws, he was already a myth in the minds of survivors throughout East Asia. Even the survivors in distant North America and Western Europe heard about the legendary tales of this great leader.

But all humans could not escape death.

Even if the General was already mystified by the survivors, the tale of myth was destined to conclude one day.

At least, in the eyes of most people.
