I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 55: Underwater Birth
When Qiao Suisui couldn’t contact Lanze, Leberli was right beside her.
He had moved to the small building and was living in the room next to the master bedroom on the second floor.
"Strange..."
She hung up the unanswered call and turned to ask Leberli, "You came from the Imperial Court, haven’t you seen Lanze?"
Leberli smiled and shook his head, "No, why?"
She thought for a moment but didn’t mention that she was supposed to register with Lanze today. She just said it was nothing. Leberli’s eyes dimmed as he took her hand and helped her sit down.
"Haven’t you been very busy recently?"
Qiao Suisui looked at him sideways. He seemed leisurely, his arm resting behind her chair, which made it look as if he was enclosing her in his arms. The possessiveness was clear.
"I’ve handled everything, don’t worry. I want to stay with you and the children."
He laid his hand on her belly, his expression gentle and a bit curious.
"Do you think they can hear our voices?"
According to human development cycles, in this stage of late pregnancy, the children should have ears, but she didn’t know about Beastmen.
"What do you want to tell them?"
Leberli wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pecking at her lips repeatedly, his smile indulgent.
"I want to warn them to come out well-behaved and not make it too hard for my Suisui."
Suddenly, the little ones inside seemed to understand and gently kicked her.
"It seems they moved." Leberli looked on with fascination, his hand moving around on her belly.
"Suisui, once the children are born, would you come back to the Imperial Court with me? I promise to provide them with the best education and care. Be my Queen, will you?"
She was startled, not expecting him to say that suddenly, but since the conversation had reached this point, Qiao Suisui also wanted to make her thoughts clear.
"Ash, I don’t want to live at the Imperial Court."
Leberli kissed her tender fingertips, his smile gentle, "You don’t like it? Whatever you like, I can rebuild."
"It’s not that, I feel this place is very good, this is where I belong."
He lowered his eyes to contemplate for a moment, then still smiling said, "This place indeed belongs to you, but I’m afraid I might not be able to come here to be with you every day. Why not stay at the Imperial Court for a few days? You can come back whenever you want?"
It sounded like a very humble request, but Qiao Suisui still shook her head.
"Ash, you can take the children, but I don’t want to be your Queen."
Leberli’s smile froze on his lips, he took a deep breath before asking, "Why?"
"I have my own things I want to do."
"Being my Queen conflicts with what you want to do? You would have supreme glory and authority, all of Auslan would be yours, and you could do whatever you want." His voice rose involuntarily, realizing the urgency in his tone, he frowned, annoyed, then lowered his voice, holding her hand and saying, "I’m sorry, I was too impatient just now. Suisui, I hope you would consider it, don’t reject me so quickly."
She knew this was obviously not the right time to continue the conversation, so she nodded and said they would talk later. Leberli noticed her expression had cooled down, and he caught his breath, his heartbeat becoming irregular. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Lanze’s last words—
Between you two, no outcome is the best outcome.
He wasn’t satisfied.
He had done all this to give her a better life, to keep her by his side...
Leberli couldn’t stand her coldness towards him, grabbed Qiao Suisui’s arm as she was about to leave, and kissed her on the face.
She didn’t like this passive feeling, struggled to push him away, but couldn’t muster any strength.
He poured all of his longing from the past days into that kiss, fierce yet lingering.
Suddenly, the person in his arms let out a soft cry. Leberli, panting, looked at her, seeing her frozen in place; he was immediately terrified.
"Suisui, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
She bit her lip awkwardly, looked down to see a wet patch on her dress, and said, "My water broke."
Leberli immediately swept her up horizontally and carried her into the delivery room. Just then, Ruka came up from the first floor, saw this scene, and knew she was about to give birth. He immediately called the medical team upstairs, arranged everything, and his back was soaked with nervous sweat.
By the time Ruka came in, Leberli had already changed her clothes. Qiao Suisui was sitting in a circular bath, the water temperature just right, Leberli holding her from behind, continually whispering comforts.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, it’ll be over soon, don’t be scared."
The professional doctors from the medical team came in, and the midwife stood by. Qiao Suisui felt dozens of eyes on her, utterly embarrassed.
"Don’t... not so many people..."

She looked at Ruka pleadingly, the man was worried and scared at the same time, watching her sweat from pain, willing to agree to anything she wanted but also aware that he must ensure the safety of her delivery.
"Ruka, let them leave." Qiao Suisui tugged at his arm, her voice shaky with pain. Leberli couldn’t bear to see her like this, and bluntly said, "Keep only one here, everyone else go out."
Ruka ordered the others to stand by at the door, ready to come in if anything went wrong. At last, Qiao Suisui could rest assured to go through the childbirth.
After the initial contractions, the System activated the pain shield mode, which made her feel much better. Then she noticed Ruka’s hand shaking hard. She grabbed his hand and shook it, signaling him not to worry. Ruka kissed the tip of her nose, gently stroking her hair.
The two men appeared even more nervous than her. Leberli held her constantly, kissing her forehead incessantly, coaxing her, afraid of her pain, trying to talk to distract her, yet fearing he might disturb her labor. Ruka held her hand throughout, gripping it tightly whenever she exerted force, as if passing his strength to her through their hands.
She relaxed her body following the midwife’s guide, exerting force when needed and resting when possible. Despite the absence of pain, she was still exhausted with sweat, her hair sticking to her neck, cheeks flushed.
Thus, she labored for four hours, and the cubs were born one after another.
Qiao Suisui heard the System continually announcing—
