QT: Grace To Grass Counterattack System

On the particular night, He Yuan had one outstretched leg crossed over the other on the bed with a book on flowers in his hand and a glass of warm milk on the bedside table.

Han Tao opened the bedroom door at that moment and walked in.

He Yuan frowned at the sudden intrusion whilst Han Tao stiffened. He seemed to have forgotten that he had instructed Xu Lifen to return to their matrimonial bedroom. His wife was relaxed on the bed dressed in a thin nightrobe with some books piled up by her side.

Her smooth toned legs appeared so alluring and a part of her thighs could be seen. Han Tao's eyes slowly moved up until he locked eyes with his wife. She stared at him with a questioning frown and to his surprise, his body reacted. He blushed and then frowned. Xu Lifen was his wife. There was nothing wrong with being attracted to her.

Watching Han Tao do nothing but stare, He Yuan reluctantly broke the silence with a very dry, "You're back." Although he had been a little taken aback when Han Tao suddenly walked in, he was hardly surprised at the man's return.

What was more surprising was the fact that Han Tao had actually spent a little over six months away. Chen Meili's belly was quite round and protruded now and Han Tao being absent for this long did not occur in the original timeline.

Han Tao's eyes lingered on his wife's enchanting face for a few extra seconds before moving down to her exposed neck and collar bone. Xu Lifen looked quite... pretty tonight. It had also been a long time since he.... He was a man, it wouldn't do to be too pent up. "I'm going to take a shower now." He said and stared pointedly at He Yuan before walking off to the bathroom.

'...'

Before He Yuan could even think twice about what Han Tao's look meant, he suddenly felt three of his drugged needles in between his fingers. He looked down and blinked. He hadn't taken them out of his storage space so... "888?"

The system cleared his throat. [Remember what you said. You don't like the idea of engaging with the inhabitants of the task realms.]

He Yuan both chuckled and frowned in confusion simultaneously. "Of course I remember. Even if I was shameless enough to try it..." He raised a brow dramatically. "...Han Tao? Really? You think so low of my standards?"

888's mind drifted to that one night some months ago and he scoffed, "You think he's good Looking."

He Yuan literally facepalmed. "I think a lot of artworks and sculptures are good looking, it doesn't mean I would stick my dick in them!"

888's face felt hot. [Don't be too explicit, you're in a woman's body.]

He Yuan waved in exasperation. "That's not the point!"

"What's not the point?"

He Yuan's eyes widened and his head snapped to the side. He had no idea he'd said that out loud. Han Tao was fresh out of the bathroom dressed in nothing but a black sweatpant. He lifted a hand to his lips cleared his throat. "It's just some controversial stuff I was reading."

Han Tao's eyes moved to the open page of the book on the bed. What could be so controversial about a bunch of hibiscuses wilting? He shook his head and domineeringly approached his wife.

He Yuan stared at the heated look in Han Tao's eyes and he bit the inside of his cheek so hard, he almost tasted blood. Was he nervous? Heck no. The thing was... He wanted to laugh so bad. So, so, bad but he knew that no man would be able to take such a hit to their pride. In fact, Han Tao might directly divorce Xu Lifen on the spot.

The closer Han Tao hot, the tighter He Yuan held his needles until Han Tao finally reached the bed and towered over Xu Lifen's small figure.

Both of Han Tao's hands landed on the sides of his wife's head, trapping her in between. She looked so good. At that moment, Xu Lifen extended her hands out to wrap around his neck and his little brother stood at attention. He really loved it when Xu Lifen was proactive.

They might have been on bad terms for a long while now but in the end, they were still husband and wife. Xu Lifen, being a very beautiful wife at that. He slowly lowered his head, mere inches away from those plump lips when,

Knock, Knock, Knock.

He Yuan quickly retracted the needles, that were just a couple centimeters away from piercing Han Tao's skin, the moment the man in question propped himself up.

Han Tao looked to the door with an impatient frown and growled, "Who?"

The hurried voice of a servant came through, "Y- Young master Tao, I'm sorry to disturb but... It's Miss Chen, I think there's something wrong with her stomach!"

Han Tao's eyes widened and he sprang up from the bed like Xu Lifen was a lump of burning coal. He stiffened when he realized his reaction had been too exaggerated, like a man caught cheating.

"I-" He eyed He Yuan with an unnatural expression but then the thought of something being wrong with Chen Meili filled his mind and he directly walked out of the room... Without putting a shirt on.

The minute Han Tao left, He Yuan burst into laughter. He'd been a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to turn Han Tao into a pin cushion but this... this was just... Wow. Since when did Xu Lifen and Chen Meili turn into ancient concubines fighting for the favour of one man?

He looked to the digital clock on the wall... 11:30pm. Han Tao had returned pretty late and yet Chen Meili had somehow gotten the news. She couldn't even wait for day to break. So impatient for another woman's husband. Tut, tut, tut. Just wow.

He Yuan laughed for a while more before tugging on his robe and walking out of the room.

---------------------------

Han Tao sprinted -half naked- all the way to his late brother's family wing, leaving behind a blushing and bewildered servant.

When he arrived, he found a very pregnant Chen Meili, holding her waist and puffing out short breaths through pouted lips. His eyes widened in alarm. "Meili!"

Chen Meili turned to the door in 'surprise.' "Bro- brother Tao?" She took in his half dressed state at that moment and a sharp intake of breath was heard before her face turned into a ripe tomato. "Wh- When did you return?"

Seeing how 'painful' it was for Chen Meili to even speak, Han Tao rushed over and very comfortably placed a hand on her stomach. "Hush, don't speak." He admonished gently.

Chen Meili was already 7 months in and her stomach was so round. Han Tao felt very emotional. His children were in there. Just waiting to be born. At that moment the dull realization that he was going to be a father crashed in and he looked to the woman carrying his babies with pure gratitude and appreciation.

Thinking of how he'd been in his wing just minutes ago, about to pleasure Xu Lifen whilst Chen Meili was in here going through all this alone, made raw guilt to tear through his heart. Meili did not deserve such inconsideration.

"Where does it hurt?" Han Tao asked in the most gentlest voice ever as he softly rubbed her stomach.

The blush coating Chen Meili's cheeks deepened even more, almost giving her a purple shade. "I- It's nothing really. Your boys were just being naughty and kicked a little too hard. Who knew the servant would run over to get you for such a little thing?"

The servant lady who was standing at the door: '...' Hadn't miss Chen said to call young master Tao? Did she hear wrong?

Inside the room, Han Tao was over the moon. He stared at Chen Meili's round stomach with fervour. "They-" He swallowed. "They kicked?"

Chen Meili nodded softly. "Hm."

At that moment, Han Tao felt a small bump beneath his hands. His eyes widened. "They kicked!"

Chen Meili giggled. "That must be little bun two, he's very naughty. Unlike the calm and mature little bun number one."

Han Tao chuckled. She named them little bun one and two? Why was this woman so cute? He looked at her with a happy glint in his eyes. "How can you tell anyways?"

Chen Meili raised her chin proudly. "A mother always knows!" And then she stiffened and looked at Han Tao like she was in trouble.

Han Tao chuckled and flicked her cute nose. "No need to feel self conscious. You're their mother too. No child ever complains of having too many mothers."

In fact, he felt Meili would make a much better mother. Unlike Xu Lifen, she had so much warmth in her, so much Kindness, so much love. She also had better moral values and carried herself gracefully. This was something that would be great to pass on to the twins.

Chen Meili's smile turned warm at Han Tao's words and she also joined him in rubbing her stomach and staring at the bump lovingly.

He Yuan, who arrived some seconds ago, had no idea what to do with himself. He felt like a demon homewrecker. He was about to turn around and leave when he heard,

"Ah? Sister-in-law?"

He sighed. Well damn.
