CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 180: GROWING SUSPICIOUS

Ling Yueyue rolled her eyes dramatically, "Hey, Ye Anxin, I’m telling you! You’re pregnant now, you should let your man have some restraint! If you keep messing around like this, sure, he feels good, but can your little body handle it? Don’t want to end up losing the baby!"

Ye Anxin’s already flushed face turned even redder! Her mind inadvertently replayed last night’s scene in the bathroom, making her ears burn and her neck turn completely red.

"Hey, by the way, Anxin, tell me, is your man really that good? How many times a night? Does he last long? How long exactly? Half an hour at least?" Ling Yueyue stretched her neck, perked up her ears, looking at Ye Anxin with excitement.

Hearing her question, Ye Anxin raised her head, saw the gossipy look on her face, and couldn’t help but glare at her, replying irritably, "Ling Yueyue, what on earth are you saying! That’s quite a dirty mind for a twenty-year-old girl, isn’t it? Besides, we’re in public, can’t you be a little more discreet?"

Ling Yueyue shrugged indifferently and said, "Tch! I’m married, alright! I’m already a married woman, even pregnant, what’s there to be shy about!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had let something slip and couldn’t help but give herself a slap on both cheeks.

Ye Anxin blinked, taking a while to process, and then exclaimed in disbelief, "Pregnant? Ling Yueyue, you’re pregnant? Didn’t you just get married yesterday? How did it happen so fast?"

Ling Yueyue coughed awkwardly, "Cough cough, you heard wrong, I was talking about you! I’m already a married woman, you’re pregnant, what’s there to be shy about!"

Ye Anxin furrowed her brows and looked at her suspiciously, "...? But you clearly said just now that you’re pregnant."

Ling Yueyue’s eyes flickered guiltily for a moment, then she forced herself to calm down and said coolly, "Do you really think I could be pregnant? Then you tell me, whose child would I be carrying? If I were really pregnant, would I have fought with Nan Jinning on my wedding day? When you fainted earlier, who carried you to the medical room? Do you think that’s something a pregnant woman can do?"

Ling Yueyue had told countless lies in her life, but only to outsiders! This was her first time lying to Ye Anxin, so she couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Ye Anxin tilted her head and thought carefully, realizing she might have a point.

On the day of the wedding, while others might not know, she clearly saw with her own eyes Yueyue and Nan Jinning rolling around on the floor, fighting. It’s a scene she’ll never forget!

In her whole life, she’s never seen a pregnant woman be so reckless.

So, was it really just a slip of the tongue from Yueyue earlier?

Seeing that Ye Anxin seemed to start believing her, Ling Yueyue relaxed a little and pressed on, "Have you ever seen a pregnant woman fight someone and not miscarry? Besides, I’ve never even had a boyfriend, how could I be pregnant! Just like you, I’m one who cherishes my purity!"

"You’re right!" With that, Ye Anxin finally completely believed her words.

After all, for twenty years, Yueyue indeed has cherished herself.

A year ago, she had a childhood friend who grew up together, a neighbor’s older boy, and they were so close, inseparable, yet Yueyue never gave herself to him.

Someone who takes care of her body like Yueyue would absolutely not do something like getting pregnant before marriage!

After thinking it through that way, Ye Anxin was thoroughly convinced that it was just Ling Yueyue’s slip of the tongue.

Seeing Ye Anxin finally believed her, Ling Yueyue exhaled in relief and lowered her head to quickly stuff her mouth with food to hide her guilt.

Ye Anxin took a sip of water, suddenly remembered something, and anxiously asked, "Oh right, Yueyue, you didn’t tell my man about me fainting, did you? You must not let him know, or he’ll definitely force me to drop out!"

Ling Yueyue promptly lifted her head, patting her chest and said, "Don’t worry! Don’t I know you well? Without your consent, I won’t tell Mu Beiting about this! With his temper, if he found out, who knows what he’d do! I got this handled, don’t worry!"

"That’s good!" Hearing that, Ye Anxin finally relaxed.

Ling Yueyue carelessly finished a bowl of rice, wiped her mouth, "I’m full, let’s go!"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, and left with Ling Yueyue.

After parting with Ling Yueyue and returning to her own home, Ye Anxin felt her limbs were still weak, her steps light and airy, as if walking on cotton!

Fearing Mu Beiting might notice something was off if he came back, she hurried back to her room to catch up on sleep.

She ended up sleeping until the afternoon, and when Mu Beiting returned and entered the room, Ye Anxin was still sweetly asleep on the bed.

Mu Beiting sat by the bed, quietly watching her, a hint of warmth flickering in his cold eyes! As he watched, he couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke her face, tracing her features.

In her dream, Ye Anxin felt a tickle on her face, like a feather brushing by, soft, tender, and comforting.

Gradually, Ye Anxin’s lips curved into a beautiful and happy smile.

Mu Beiting’s eyes glimmered, and he suddenly leaned down, planting a fiery kiss on her forehead, then stood up and left.

When Ye Anxin opened her eyes and woke up, it was already dark.

She groped around to turn on the bedside lamp, took the phone from the bedside table to check, and realized it was already past seven in the evening.

Ye Anxin got out of bed, left the room, and headed straight for Mu Beiting’s study.

At this time, if her man were home, he’d either be in the bedroom or definitely in the study.

Sure enough, when she opened the study door, Mu Beiting was sitting behind his desk, head down, handling work.

Hearing the door open, Mu Beiting lifted his head, saw Ye Anxin standing at the door, and beckoned her over, "Come here!"

Ye Anxin obediently walked to his side.

Mu Beiting extended his long arm, pulling her into his embrace, having her sit on his lap.

Ye Anxin naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, softly asking, "Uncle, when did you come back? Why didn’t you wake me up?"

Mu Beiting used his fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, the pad of his finger brushed her cheek, "You were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you!"

Ye Anxin nodded, "Oh! But it’s already past seven now, I slept for four hours! What am I going to do tonight?"

Mu Beiting pinched her chin, lifting her head, his tempting voice resonating in her ear, "If you can’t sleep, there are plenty of things to do!"

"...?" Ye Anxin’s cheeks flushed red, shyly tapping his chest softly.

She’s no longer an innocent girl! His voice was full of allure and ambiguity, making it hard not to get flustered.

Mu Beiting gave her red lips a light peck and asked, "Hungry?"

Ye Anxin instinctively touched her stomach and truthfully nodded.
