Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 538 So, what are you?

"Host, where have you been hiding all this time? I've searched the entire space but can't find you!"

Qiao Manman's lips twitched slightly: "Oh, it's Xiao Tongzi!"

After saying that, I fainted with relief!

The system pounced on Qiao Manman's face, pinching and pulling, saying, "Host, wake up! Wake up!"

Qiao Manman remained motionless, seemingly at peace with her unconscious state.

The system checked her body and, after confirming that she was simply exhausted, breathed a sigh of relief and moved her to the villa to rest.

Finding her sleeping restlessly, he took her hand and murmured, "Don't be afraid, host, I'll stay with you!"

Outside the space, Lu Yuan saw that the time had come and lit the fuse with a match.

The crackling sounds began in the early hours of the morning, accompanied by laughter and cheerful chatter.

The loneliness on Lu Yuan's face was completely out of place amidst the lively atmosphere.

Only after all the noise subsided did he return home, utterly dejected.

Smiling under the worried gazes of Xie Susu, He Jingcheng, Qiao Lingyue, and Tao Yingzhen, he said, "I'm fine!"

"Son, if you're feeling down, just cry!"

"Nephew-in-law..." Your niece will definitely wake up, don't demean yourself.

Qiao Lingyue sighed, turned and went back into the house.

Tao Yingzhen patted his arm without saying a word.

As usual, Lu Yuan checked the stove, flue, doors and windows before going back to his bedroom to sleep.

"Happy New Year, my dear wife!" He kissed Qiao Manman's forehead, carefully avoiding her stomach, and pulled her hand to sleep.

The snow fell softly outside the window, and the big yellow flower occasionally made soft, chirping sounds.

Lu Yuan slept soundly. In his dream, Qiao Manman woke up, gazed at him quietly, and murmured softly, "Lu Yuan..."

Lu Yuan suddenly woke up, noticing the burning sensation near his ear, and turned his head to look with a mixture of surprise and hesitation.

"Manman, you're awake!"

Qiao Manman smiled, nodded slightly, and opened and closed her mouth, but could not utter a word.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll call Grandpa over right away."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he was about to lift the covers and get out of bed.

Qiao Manman grabbed him and shook her head. In a flash, she took him into the space.

The system fluttered its little wings and came over to explain to him, "Master, don't worry, you're just too weak and need to rest."

"By tomorrow, or at the latest the day after, I'll be able to move around freely!"

Lu Yuan's worldview shattered and then reassembled. He poked the system's little dragon horn and asked, "Are you a dragon?"

Wait a minute, dragons don't have wings.

So, what are you?

"I...I'm the system!" The system tugged at its clothes in a disheveled manner. "I'm...I'm the fertility goddess you mentioned!"

"Are you the Goddess of Fertility?" Lu Yuan looked at Qiao Manman in surprise, then glanced at the system: "Should I kneel down and worship you?"

Xiao Tongzi waved his hand: "No need for such formalities! If you really feel bad, just kowtow to the host!"

Lu Yuan blinked: "It's not impossible!"

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Qiao Manman: "Wife, thank you for saving me in Dong Province, and also for those brothers."

No, I should say, thank you for marrying me!

Qiao Manman twitched her finger and helped him up. She mouthed, "Don't even try!"

Lu Yuan hugged her and said, half scolding and half feeling sorry for her, "You scared me to death these past few days. Why were you so reckless?"

At worst, we'll make a thorough plan and then arrest Meng Peiyu.

"You do not understand!"

"Yes, I don't understand. I always thought I was a person of boundless love. But when I saw the shadow, I had selfish thoughts."
