Chapter 440: Fulfillment (1)_1
The Dark Division moved quickly; within less than two hours of Situ Xin’s instructions, Situ Muli and Xiang Yang, carrying the documents Situ Xin required, arrived at the Xiao Family house. Surprisingly, Mei accompanied them on this trip.
"Sit." As Situ Xin took the documents handed over by Situ Muli, she glanced at Xiang Yang and Mei, who appeared somewhat restrained today. "Huh, Mei, what brings you to my place today? And you two, what’s with the awkwardness? Have you done something wrong? It’s okay, tell me, and if it’s within my power, I’ll definitely resolve it for you."
Hearing Situ Xin’s words, the expressions on Xiang Yang and Mei’s faces grew even more embarrassed. Mei glared at Xiang Yang, signaling him to explain. Xiang Yang received Mei’s gaze and cleared his throat. "Ahem, Leader, Mei and I haven’t done anything wrong. It’s, well," Xiang Yang looked at Mei and said, "Mei is pregnant, so we brought her here today for two reasons. One is to share the good news with you first, and the other is that Mei probably won’t be able to go on missions for the next few months. So, uh, I’ll take over Mei’s duties in the future."
"What? Mei is pregnant? That’s wonderful news." As Situ Xin spoke, she noticed the cup of tea next to Mei and quickly stood up to remove the cup. "Mei, now that you’re pregnant, you need to be careful with your diet. You should drink less tea and such. In a moment, I’ll get you some freshly squeezed juice."
"Leader, thank you." Mei and Xiang Yang were moved by Situ Xin’s attention to detail in their care.
"No need for thanks. Since you call me Leader, I must take good care of those close to me. Also, later I’ll give you a list of things that are forbidden for pregnant women and things that are beneficial," Situ Xin thought to herself, planning to give Xiang Yang some fruits from her storage space when they left.
"Thank you, Leader." Xiang Yang knew that being a man, he was utterly ignorant about these matters. Having heard from his wife, Mei, that she was pregnant and he was going to be a father, he was overjoyed, but after the excitement came unstoppable worry. He feared that any carelessness might endanger the baby in her womb.
Therefore, Xiang Yang, against his usual behavior, took his wife to see Situ Xin.
