Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 53 Fetal Movement.

The dinner was very sumptuous. During the meal, Smelian kept secretly glancing at Lu Xia. He couldn't control his eyes. He wanted to see clearly what kind of person Duke Lu Xia was.

Why didn't the people around her have that suffocating sense of humility? Whether it was Grace or the old housekeeper, they all seemed to exude confidence from the inside out.

In fact, what impressed Smelian the most was that he did not feel oppressed in Duke Luxia's Mansion.

People who live here seem to be able to be themselves without worrying about doing something wrong or being punished for no reason.

Duke Lu Xia treats everyone equally and does not look down on them because of their background.

Just look at Grace to see this.

They were both "defective" males, and both were servants of Duke Lu Xia, but now, both Grace and he could sit at the dining table and dine with Duke Lu Xia, and even chat with him.

Grace could even live with Duke Lu Xia every night. These were things he had not dared to imagine before. If Duke Lu Xia was just putting on an act... No, this was Duke Lu Xia's mansion, why should she put on a show for them? They were all just people of humble status.

Thinking of this, Smellian glanced at Grace unconsciously and couldn't help but envy her.

He even felt a little regretful. If he had taken the initiative to step forward when the old butler was choosing the person to serve Duke Lu Xia on the first night, would he be the one who has a close relationship with Duke Lu Xia now?

"Smellian, is dinner not to your liking?" Lu Xia suddenly spoke, bringing Smellian back to his senses. He quickly sat up straight, "No, it's delicious."

"That's good. You don't seem to eat much. If it doesn't suit your appetite, be sure to tell the housekeeper. I can still meet such basic needs." Lu Xia smiled at him gently. It can be said that she was very friendly, but this kind ending was also distant, which was not as natural as Grace's.

This made Smelian subconsciously meet Grace's gaze.

The man's black eyes seemed calm, but the look he gave him was not particularly friendly.

Smellian raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

Lu Xia didn't notice the eye contact between the two, but he suddenly stopped and attracted attention.

Grace was the first to speak: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xia looked up at Grace, met the man's concerned gaze, and suddenly smiled: "It seemed to move just now."

Grace subconsciously wanted to ask 'who', but when she met Lu Xia's surprised eyes, she reacted instantly: "Did the cub move? Do you feel anything bad?"

Grace stood up as she spoke, walked to Lu Xia's side, knelt on one knee, and wanted to reach out to check, but she didn't dare to touch. She was so nervous and cautious.

This scene looked very strange to Smellian.

Before he could figure out the situation, the old housekeeper also looked nervous: "Do you need to send a message to Dr. Eugene and ask him if there is anything he should pay attention to?"

Lu Xia was a bit amused by the two people in front and behind her. "This should be normal fetal movement. There's no need to make a fuss. I don't feel any discomfort. I'm just a little surprised that it's the first time I feel it."

This time, Smellian, who was sitting next to him, was finally sure that he had heard something.

He heard Duke Lu Xia say "fetal movement". Even though his major was not a subject related to childbirth, he was not unfamiliar with the term "fetal movement".

This made him unable to help but speak: "You, what are you talking about?" His question made the three people present look at him at the same time, and then the atmosphere became a little quiet at this moment.

Finally, Lu Xia smiled and said, "Since you are now a member of the family, you will know sooner or later, so I won't hide it from you. I am pregnant and have been pregnant for more than five months now."

Smelian could hear every word Duke Luxia said, but when they were put together, he could not understand it at all.

I even doubted what I heard.

Duke Lu Xia just said that she is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than 5 months.

Where is the baby, in her belly?

Oh, yes, it must be in the belly, otherwise how could there be fetal movement?
Smelian felt that he could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and walked to Lu Xia. He wanted to see it with his own eyes, otherwise he would never believe it.

Duke Lu Xia actually succeeded in conceiving naturally.

There hasn't been a female who has successfully conceived naturally in the empire for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, Duke Lu Xia has succeeded now.

"How could this be?" Smellian's pupils suddenly dilated when he saw Lu Xia's bulging belly. His voice trembled as he uncontrollably knelt on one knee, as if wanting to prove something up close. "Is this Grace's cub?"

"Yes, it's his." Lu Xia answered first without waiting for Grace to speak.

This direct and crisp reply made Smelian subconsciously look at Grace. If he was just envious before, now he was a little jealous.

Grace looked at him, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Doctor Smelian, do you have anything to say?"

Smellian knew that Grace was provoking him, but he happened to have the capital to provoke her.

He felt his throat dry and astringent, but he was used to pretending. Even at this moment, when his mentality was completely broken, he could still speak calmly and indifferently, "There's nothing to say. Although I'm not a professional fertility expert, I know that fetal movement is a normal reproductive phenomenon. As long as it's not too frequent or abnormal, it's fine."

As he said this, he stood up. When he looked down at Lu Xia, his voice unconsciously became much gentler: "But you should rest more."

"I will. Thank you. Having a doctor at home really gives me peace of mind." Lu Xia said this, the smile on her face still not disappearing. She even continued, "Is Smelian doing well at work?"

"It's going smoothly. You don't need to worry about me. But in your case, there's been no movement from the Fertility Research Institute. Are they hiding something?"

As a doctor, Smelian must know the value of natural conception to the empire. It can even be said that no one is unaware of it.

But now Duke Lu Xia is already 5 months pregnant, and there is no news from the Fertility Research Institute. This is enough to show that Duke Lu Xia has concealed this matter.

I'm afraid the Fertility Research Institute didn't fail to receive the news, but simply failed to find the person.

"Well, I don't want to be a research subject, so I've privately contacted a doctor. But if it's possible on the day of delivery, I'd really like you to help."

After all, Smellian is a ready-made surgeon, so he should be very good at performing surgery in times of crisis, right?
