Belle Is Pregnant

The old woman, terrified that Cuilan might offend the distinguished guests, hurriedly apologized to the young attendants and dragged Cuilan back, beating and kicking her ruthlessly.

Cuilan didn't dare explain herself to the old woman, afraid she wouldn't be believed and would end up with another beating.

After the beating, Cuilan's face was bruised and swollen. She huddled in a corner, sobbing, "If it weren't for Lily Evans, I'd still be at home! How could I be suffering like this? Lily Evans, you've ruined me! I won't give up. I must see Princess Mira and have her expose Lily Evans and Simon Yu's affair. Lily Evans, I wish you a miserable end!"

Prince of Qin's Manor

Lily Evans sat back, sipping tea and nibbling on pastries with a relaxed air. Today had been a windfall—she'd handed out generous bonuses to everyone in the manor. The whole household was ecstatic, singing the praises of Princess Lily Evans's generosity.

As evening fell, Eugene Jr. arrived to pay his respects to Lily Evans.

Lily Evans had been so busy lately, she hadn't seen Eugene Jr. in quite some time.

When they met, Eugene Jr. greeted Lily Evans respectfully. Lily Evans teased him with a playful smile, "I hear you come every night to pick up our Belle. Your house is just a few streets away, and Belle always has the Prince of Qin's guards escorting her. Are you really that worried about our guards?"

Eugene Jr. rubbed his nose, grinned sheepishly, and replied, "Well, coming to pick her up means I get to see her a little sooner."

Lily Evans couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Belle's ears turned bright red. She shot Eugene Jr. a glare and whispered, "What nonsense are you babbling in front of Her Highness? Can't you keep your mouth in check?"

Eugene Jr. wasn't offended at all. With a good-natured grin, he replied to Belle, "Yes, yes, whatever my wife says is absolutely right!"

Lily Evans laughed even harder, making Belle's face flush deeper as she shot Eugene Jr. several fierce looks.

Watching the two lovebirds so sweet and affectionate, Lily Evans felt a wave of comfort and happiness.

It hadn't been easy for Belle and Eugene Jr. to make it this far. They'd overcome all sorts of hardships—Belle had conquered her inner fears, Eugene Jr. had stood firm against his family's objections. Lily Evans was truly happy for them.

"Your Highness, actually..." Eugene Jr. cleared his throat and glanced at Belle, "My wife, she's... pregnant."

"What!?" Lily Evans shot up from her chair and stared at Belle from head to toe.

Belle's ears burned red, and her hand instinctively rested on her belly. Her body language said it all—she was pregnant!

"Belle, why didn't you tell me sooner? Sit down, quickly!" Lily Evans nervously grabbed Belle's shoulders and pressed her into a chair. "You're still early in the pregnancy, you need to take care—not overwork! Oh my goodness, Belle, honestly, why didn't you say anything? I've been giving you so much work! Thank heavens Eugene Jr. told me today, or who knows how long you would've kept it from me!"

Simon Yu quickly arrived, examined Belle, and confirmed she was indeed pregnant.

Su Li was overjoyed, and the entire Prince of Qin's Manor was filled with laughter and happiness.

Belle and Eugene Jr. exchanged a loving glance, their hearts filled with hope for the future.
