Chapter 2874 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 34
I don't know who it was, but their legs buckled and they knelt down first.
Immediately afterwards, everyone still able to move in the secret room, whether they were the original confidants of the big boss or neutral guards, all rushed to kneel on one knee before Yun Jian, bowing their heads deeply, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Head bowed, posture of submission.
Yun Jian was recognized and became the new leader of the underground arena.
Yun Jian returned to Jin Chen's arms, swayed, and almost fell over.
Jin Chen immediately reached out to support him and said coldly to the door, "Close the door."
Yun Jian's subordinates immediately stepped forward to clean up the scene and closed the door to the secret room.
The door closed, and Yun Jian finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He went limp, his forehead resting on Jin Chen's shoulder, his body trembling slightly.
He took Jin Chen's hand, trembling, and pressed it against his aching lower abdomen.
"……Baby……"
Jin Chen lowered her head and whispered in Yun Jian's ear, gently rubbing her chin against his sweaty temples, "It's okay."
"I know you're faking your pregnancy, it's okay if you don't have a baby."
"The one I love is you."
Yun Jian relaxed, leaned against Jin Chen's chest and closed his eyes. Something warm slid down from the corner of his eye and mixed with the blood on his face.
His tense nerves finally relaxed, and he took one last look at Jin Chen before fainting.
Jin Chen caught his unconscious body steadily and carried him horizontally in her arms.
"Prepare the doctor."
"Yes." Yun Jian's subordinates dared not refute him in the slightest.
Jin Chen held the person in his arms and walked towards the door of the secret room.
The area outside the door was not empty.
The orcs who had been driven away earlier did not leave. Seeing Jin Chen carrying the unconscious Yun Jian out, they became even more eager to attack.
Yun Jian fainted.
He is at his most vulnerable now.
The position of the underground casino's big boss has just become vacant.
This is a golden opportunity.
Yun Jian's subordinates immediately surrounded Jin Chen, standing in front of him with vigilant expressions, ready to face the struggle and melee.
The atmosphere instantly tensed, on the verge of exploding.
Jin Chen simply held Yun Jian and continued walking forward.
A bear-type orc couldn't contain himself and pounced forward, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate his newly appointed but weakened master.
But his claws couldn't even touch the hem of Yun Jian's clothes.
There was a gunshot.
Jin Chen didn't stop, but held Yun Jian in one arm and held a pistol in the other.
That shot was like igniting a powder keg.
Two more orcs couldn't contain themselves and pounced on them from both sides at the same time.
A chilling, overwhelming sense of oppression surged forth, and the two orcs groaned as they crashed to the ground, unconscious.
That wasn't the pressure from the orcs; it was something... something they had never felt before, something that made their knees buckle and made it hard for them to breathe.
The orcs closest to Jin Chen began to tremble; their animal instincts urged them to flee, to get away from this terrifying being.
For a moment, they even hallucinated.
It was as if he was no longer a high-ranking orc, but had reverted to the most primitive and lowest-level ordinary animal.
The human standing before them was a apex predator even more terrifying than the king of beasts.
Even the B-district leader, who had rushed over upon hearing the news and originally intended to compete with Yun Jian, changed his expression drastically the moment he sensed this aura. He took several steps back, looking at Jin Chen with astonishment and horror.
Jin Chen withdrew his gaze, picked up Yun Jian, and walked step by step through the deathly silent corridor.
Wherever they went, no one dared to stop them, no one dared to move, and no one even dared to breathe loudly.
The terrifying aura only gradually dissipated after Jin Chen carried Yun Jian away and disappeared.
In the corridor, the surviving orcs looked at each other, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
"Isn't he...isn't he human?" someone asked, trembling. How could there be such oppressive power?
Unfortunately, no one could answer that.
For the next three days, Yun Jian remained in a coma.
In the most heavily guarded residence in Zone A, Jin Chen stayed by his side every step of the way.
He knew Yun Jian's ambition; the little rabbit wanted to rise to power and become the sole master of the underground arena.
Therefore, during the days that Yun Jian was in a coma, Jin Chen cleared away all obstacles for him.
The underground arena has four zones. Zone A was originally Yun Jian's territory, while the person in charge of Zone B, after witnessing Jin Chen's terror, immediately submitted a letter of surrender.
Area C was a disorganized mess, with several minor leaders checking and balancing each other. Jin Chen only spent an afternoon there and used some gentle methods to get them to reach a consensus on supporting Mr. Yun.
District D is the stronghold of the big boss, where power is deeply entrenched and resistance is fiercest.
Jin Chen spent the night in Zone D.
Nobody knows exactly what happened.
All that is known is that after that day, all the high-ranking officials in District D who had once been loyal to the big boss either left the underground arena voluntarily, died in accidents, or... fell into complete silence, not daring to raise their heads when they saw people from District A.
In just three days, the vast underground arena, with its four zones, was completely cleared of all obstacles, both overt and covert, achieving an unprecedented level of harmony.
No one dared to make any moves, dared to secretly harm Yun Jian, or dared to vie for the position of the person in power.
Meanwhile, the top orc doctors in the underground arena—some specializing in surgery, some in internal medicine, and some even specializing in orc hormones and fertility issues—have not left Area A in the past few days.
They were all invited by Jin Chen and trapped here, with only one task: to solve Yun Jian's physical problems and the rather tricky issue of male rabbit-people experiencing false pregnancy.
The side room of the rest house was temporarily converted into a medical room, where several doctors gathered together.
“False pregnancy is the result of both psychological and hormonal factors,” the older doctor said cautiously, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Mr. Yun is currently in a coma. Psychological factors cannot be addressed at this time, so we can only start by adjusting his hormone levels, but..."
"But what?" Jin Chen sat on the sofa beside him, holding a cup of tea, his tone calm.
The doctor wiped his sweat. "But forcibly intervening with medication may cause a more severe hormonal rebound."
Another doctor added, "Moreover, false pregnancy itself is not a disease, but more of an outward manifestation of psychological needs. It may subside naturally once Mr. Yun wakes up and his emotions stabilize. As for permanent elimination, there may really be no way to do so."
Jin Chen put down his teacup and looked up at them, but the doctors all felt a chill run down their spines at the same time.
"Then let's find a way. I need to see a treatment plan before he wakes up."
Doctors: “…”
They were on the verge of tears, but could only grit their teeth and continue burying themselves in the complex data and cases.
On the evening of the third day, Yun Jian woke up.
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for several seconds before gradually realizing where he was. His body felt weak and sore, and the dull bloating in his abdomen was still there.
The symptoms of false pregnancy have not yet ended.
Yun Jian's heart sank, a sense of loss welled up inside her, and she gently stroked her lower abdomen.
No baby.
There never has been.
It was all his fantasy, his self-deception.
Yun Jian lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and sniffed the air.
Why is Jin Chen's aura so faint?
Normally, as long as Jin Chen is nearby, the scent of sandalwood will surround him, making him feel at ease.
Yun Jian frowned, threw off the covers and got out of bed. He was wearing a black silk nightgown, which was much too big for Jin Chen's size. The hem of the nightgown hung down to his thighs, revealing his somewhat plump legs.
He was barefoot and gently opened the door.
Outside the door is the second-floor corridor, and below the railing is the spacious living room.
Yun Jian leaned against the door frame, anxiously looking down.
Jin Chen was sitting on the sofa downstairs, talking to a few people, who were Yun Jian's trusted subordinates from Area A.
They seemed to be reporting something, their expressions respectful.
Jin Chen noticed the gaze and looked up towards the second floor.
"Don't look up."
The subordinates, who were about to follow Jin Chen's gaze, were speechless.
They paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and lowered their heads, looking down as if the carpet pattern beneath their feet was the most interesting thing in the world.
Before a few seconds had passed, the leader seemed to remember something, lowered his head and led the others away, making sure to close the door behind him.
Yun Jian stood on the second floor, holding onto the railing, looking down at Jin Chen, before stepping onto the railing.
Jin Chen: "...Yun Jian!"
But Yun Jian was faster. The rabbit had a strong jumping ability and with a light leap, it jumped directly down from the second floor and quickly ran into Jin Chen's arms.
Jin Chen reached out and caught him, giving him a firm and secure hug.
Yun Jian buried his face in Jin Chen's neck, his nose brushing against Jin Chen's skin, greedily inhaling the scent of sandalwood.
"The doctor said I've been sleeping for three days. Where have you been?"
“I didn’t go anywhere,” Jin Chen said, gently patting his back reassuringly.
He picked the person up horizontally and carried them to the sofa in the living room, where he sat the person sideways on his lap.
Yun Jian suddenly opened his mouth and gently bit Jin Chen's shoulder, his teeth rubbing against the skin, leaving shallow teeth marks.
“You can take this opportunity to leave…” Yun Jian said vaguely, almost in despair.
"I don't have a baby anymore... so I won't bother you anymore."
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow.
He reached out, pinched Yun Jian's chin, and gently forced him to raise his head.
Yun Jian's eyes were still red, and her eyelashes were wet.
"Don't talk nonsense," Jin Chen said, rubbing Yun Jian's lower lip with the pad of his thumb. "Didn't you say you'd stick with me for the rest of your life?"
"Little madman."
Yun Jian was unable to move because Jin Chen was holding his chin, so he could only look at him and couldn't help but grab Jin Chen's fingers that were holding his chin.
"Yes, I will cling to you for the rest of my life."
"I will not let you go. I will always be watching over you and will love you forever."
It was clearly a love confession, yet he spoke of it with such weight and terror, like an inescapable shackle.
Jin Chen lowered her head and gently bit Yun Jian's lower lip, her fingers lightly rubbing against the corner of his moist lips.
Yun Jian suddenly let out a muffled groan.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?" Jin Chen stopped and looked at him with concern.
Yun Jian bit her lip, her eyes flickered, and her ears turned slightly red.
He held Jin Chen's hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered, "False pregnancy...it's very uncomfortable."
Jin Chen's hand was still on his stomach, and her voice was gentle, "The doctor is trying to find a solution."
“It’s not that kind of discomfort…” Yun Jian’s voice was even softer, almost inaudible.
"It's beyond my control, it... secretes..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Chen's hand, which was pressed against his stomach, first touched something warm and wet.
The fabric of the pajamas was already thin and light, and a small patch of it was already damp, making it noticeable to the touch.
Jin Chen seemed to realize something, so she lowered her eyes to look at Yun Jian, her gaze deepening.
Suddenly, his brows relaxed, and he leaned close to Yun Jian's ear, whispering a few words.
After hearing this, Yun Jian felt dizzy and snuggled into his arms, burying her face in his chest and gripping his shoulders tightly with her fingers.
Jin Chen picked up the limp, dazed rabbit and carried it upstairs, closing the door behind him with his foot.
