921: Chapter 917 Deep Affection 921: Chapter 917 Deep Affection Right now at Yun Corporation, Yun Xinyan only needs to listen to reports from the secretaries and sign or stamp her approval.
All of the other headache-inducing tasks are entirely off her plate…
“Good for you, Sister Lan!”
After listening to Yun Xinyan’s story, Ye Tian couldn’t help but slam the coffee table in frustration.
Of course, Ye Tian wasn’t truly angry—it was just mock rage…
Bai Lan, though keeping Yun Xinyan’s pregnancy a secret from him, had taken great care of her.
She even managed the heavy workload of Yun Corporation efficiently, making sure everything was seamless.
Whether for Yun Xinyan or Ye Tian, Bai Lan had truly gone above and beyond.
Furthermore, after Ye Tian found out that Yun Xinyan was pregnant, no matter how much anger he felt inside, he just couldn’t bring himself to act on it.
After all, he was about to become a father, and that wonderful, surreal sensation was more than enough to suppress all of Ye Tian’s fury!
His relationship with Yun Xinyan had only been forged in a short period of time, and Ye Tian was fully aware that, in the beginning, he was merely a shield she used in rebellion against her family.
Even though she had shared a bed with him, it was nothing more than a drunken mistake—a liaison without true feelings!
However, as time passed, both Ye Tian, Yun Xinyan, and Yun Corporation had faced numerous crises.
Through those struggles, the bond between Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan gradually deepened, blossoming into a connection that neither could bear to sever.
After Yun Xinyan’s father passed away, she and Ye Tian finally became inseparable pillars of support for each other—a partnership forged in pain and resilience.
By that point, their desire to bring a child into the world had grown undeniably fervent on both ends.
For a while, it was only Ye Tian who loudly proclaimed his wish for a son—no, twins even—while Yun Xinyan, ever shy, restrained herself from openly voicing such thoughts…
Eventually, Yun Xinyan herself started yearning for it too.
But because she couldn’t conceive right away, she nearly fell into depression.
Seeing this, Ye Tian felt a pang of bitterness deep in his heart!
At first, he didn’t understand the reason behind it.
Later, with guidance from Ye Zhicang, Ye Tian realized he wasn’t an ordinary human but a descendant of the Divine Race.
When Divine Race men and human women tried to conceive, it required that the Divine descendant reach the Innate level before the human woman could successfully become pregnant.
Because of this, Ye Tian took the risk of infiltrating the Ye family’s forbidden grounds to steal the cultivation technique for Innate levels.
It was simply too important to him!
After obtaining the technique and training rigorously according to its methods, Ye Tian finally reached the coveted Innate Realm…
From that point onward, it was merely a matter of time before Yun Xinyan conceived!
Of course, Ye Tian hadn’t anticipated that he would become a father so quickly.
The joyfulness in his heart was truly beyond words!
“Ye Tian, I went to the hospital for tests.
You always said you wanted twins, but the doctor told me I’m only carrying one.
Would you be upset?”
Yun Xinyan nestled into Ye Tian’s arms, speaking softly.
As she was about to become a mother, Yun Xinyan’s once-sharp voice as a commanding CEO had mellowed.
Her words now flowed gently, sweetly, like those of a tender wife.
This softer side of Yun Xinyan was precisely what Ye Tian loved most about her…
“Why would I?
Honey, whether you bear twins or just one child, I’ll love them more than anything!
Honey, you’re our family’s greatest hero!”
Ye Tian quickly comforted Yun Xinyan, who timidly continued, “As for the baby’s gender, the doctors did take a look, but they refused to tell me!
If it turns out not to be a boy, you won’t get mad, will you?”
“Of course not!
Honey, whether we have a son or a daughter, I’ll love them all the same!”
Ye Tian gently kissed Yun Xinyan’s forehead.
“Honestly, all that talk about wanting a boy or twins was just me joking around.
Honey, as long as it’s a child coming from you, I’ll absolutely love them—love them, love them, love them to pieces!”
Ye Tian was beginning to stumble over his words, and Yun Xinyan, listening to his babbling, couldn’t help but smile.
Pregnant women are known to be very sleepy.
After pouring her heart out to Ye Tian, Yun Xinyan gradually grew tired and drifted off to sleep in Ye Tian’s embrace.
Naturally, Ye Tian didn’t disturb her as she slept.
He turned off the television and stroked her gently, allowing her to rest peacefully.
Despite the tranquil environment of the living room, Ye Tian couldn’t contain the excitement roaring inside him, as though his heart might leap out of his chest!
In a moment of disbelief, Ye Tian pinched his own cheek hard.
Only when he felt the pain did he realize he wasn’t dreaming.
It was real—his beloved wife Yun Xinyan was truly pregnant, and he was on the brink of becoming a father!
Yun Xinyan napped for a full three hours, her head resting on Ye Tian’s leg.
Sitting still for so long left Ye Tian’s thigh completely numb.
When she woke, Yun Xinyan rubbed the sleepiness from her bleary eyes and said, “Ye Tian, I had a dream!”
“A dream?”
Ye Tian was slightly surprised.
What could have prompted his wife to mention dreams the moment she woke up?
Still, it was common to hear of pregnancy dreams, and since Yun Xinyan had dreamt, it might very well mean something significant.
Ye Tian grew curious and attentive.
“Honey, what did you dream about?
Tell me!”
Ye Tian asked with keen interest, and Yun Xinyan, unhesitant, began to describe, “I dreamed that the father of our child became a great hero, someone celebrated by the entire world!”
“A dream where I’m a hero?
Honey, I thought I was already your great hero!”
Ye Tian joked, grinning.
Back when he fought in the Capital City’s tournament and defeated the arrogant James, the media and the internet had already hailed him as a ‘national hero.’
And Yun Xinyan was fully aware of this…
“Not just a hero of our country, Ye Tian—an actual worldwide hero.
In the dream, I saw you save the world!
Everyone on Earth loved and praised you!”
Yun Xinyan went on, her eyes blinking up at Ye Tian.
He could clearly see that, beyond admiration for her heroic vision, her gaze carried a subtle hint of reluctance.
Just as Ye Tian had suspected, Yun Xinyan then added, “Ye Tian, after this time home, are you going to leave again?”
Women’s intuition is often scarily accurate—more so during pregnancy.
This instinct of hers bordered on uncanny precision!
At this point, Yun Xinyan wouldn’t bother asking if Ye Tian planned to work at Yun Corporation anymore.
Deep down, she knew that for someone like Ye Tian—a man destined for far greater ambitions—Yun Corporation was far too small a stage to hold him.
It was inevitable; Yun Xinyan foresaw that Ye Tian would leave Jiang City for somewhere much bigger and farther…
“…”
Faced with Yun Xinyan’s question, Ye Tian found himself at a loss for words.
His plans involving Tian Yi weren’t the end of anything—they were merely the beginning…
Long ago, Ye Tian believed that after defeating mighty adversaries like the King of Hell and the Rakshasa Queen, he’d become unbeatable.
But he had never imagined that the number of powerful individuals in this world was as countless as fish in the river…
In comparison, he was nothing but a frog in a well…
If not for his journey to Tian Mountain, Ye Tian wouldn’t have encountered a formidable figure like Wang Cai.
Yet, even someone as powerful as Wang Cai was seen as nothing more than a dog in the eyes of Lord Long.
Lord Long, once supremely arrogant, died under the claws of the Purgatory Beast.
Though Ye Tian didn’t kill him personally, his death was indirectly caused by him.
Ye Tian couldn’t shake the nagging premonition that Lord Long’s demise would snowball into something much larger—possibly a severe disaster…
Given the ripple effects, Ye Tian feared those around him might be caught in the chaos—a possibility he simply couldn’t allow.
This made strengthening himself an absolute necessity.
Only by enhancing his power could he face threats like Wang Cai—or adversaries far stronger than Wang Cai—and avoid defeat…
“Yes, honey, I’m sorry.”
After a long silence, Ye Tian finally uttered these seven simple words.
Within them lay an endless depth of heartache…
The longer they were apart, the more intense the longing grew—for Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan alike!
Only those truly in love could feel this kind of connection.
Now, with Yun Xinyan carrying his unborn child, Ye Tian’s yearning grew even deeper.
What Ye Tian truly wanted was to stay by Yun Xinyan’s side and become a devoted husband and father.
But his destiny was intertwined with the martial arts world’s future, leaving him no room to retreat or seek refuge.
Only by eradicating all evils from this world could Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan have the peace they earnestly longed for.
Until then, Ye Tian had no choice but to fervently chase this goal!
“I see…”
Yun Xinyan’s face darkened with sorrow.
Though she had already guessed this answer, hearing it straight from Ye Tian brought an undeniable wave of melancholy.
The one she yearned most for, the one she wished to keep by her side, had to wander far away for reasons beyond their control.
Yun Xinyan didn’t even know exactly what Ye Tian was heading off to do—but she understood they were unquestionably monumental undertakings.
With this in mind, Yun Xinyan couldn’t bring herself to be a hindrance to Ye Tian.
Like the wife of a soldier sending her husband off to war, she resolved to smile and watch him head out…
“Ye Tian, I won’t be a burden to you.
On the contrary, I’ll support everything you do!
You don’t have to worry—while you’re away, I’ll make sure to take good care of things in Jiang City.
You won’t have to shoulder any concerns here.
Most importantly, I hope that wherever you go, you’ll always remember me, and remember that in Jiang City, your wife and child are waiting for you!”
