Chapter 9
He didn't really care what the woman was doing yet, but he didn't want to get right to the point right away today either.
The little woman didn't look at him, and he didn't da care about her, so he went straight to the bed and sat down against it.
There were two books on the bedside table, Selected and Explained Papers for the Advanced Level Examination and 100 Knowledge for Pregnancy and Infancy.
He picked up the book and flipped through it twice, then put it back in his hand.
"The woman at the table didn't even turn her head back, muttering something to herself.
Ling Yichen picked up another book, "A hundred things to know about pregnancy and babies".
This book is quite interesting, at least the pictures of babies on it are all very nice, each one with fat fingers all knuckled up, looking silly ...... but very cute.
His eyes couldn't help but look at the woman whose back was turned to him.
This woman was going to give birth to such a silly, no, it should be chubby child for herself?
His heart softened.
And I wonder what she was looking at there? She was looking so seriously!
Ling Yichen put this book in his hand and put it back again.
The same loud sound still didn't make the woman turn around.
He got off the bed, slipped on his slippers and walked behind her, asking in a cold voice, "What time is it? It's time for bed!"
"Ah..." Xia Mao, who was solving a maths problem with her head down, was startled, "You..."
When she saw the man standing behind her, her voice stopped abruptly, and her big eyes blinked twice before the bright light in them slowly dimmed.
She bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot the time."
Like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, she fastened the pen cap in her hand, put her books in a simple tidy up, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower now."
Ling Yichen looked at the little woman like a rat who had seen a cat, brushed past him and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
His eyes glanced at the piece of cursive paper on the table, senior three-dimensional geometry.
She was a senior?
Ling Yichen turned back to the bed and picked up the book, "100 Knowledge of Pregnancy and Infancy" and looked at it a few more times, his heart secretly picking out which child looked a little better.
Xia Mao dawdled in the bathroom for a while before walking out in her pajamas.
The man was leaning against the bed, frowning at her.
Xia Mao bit her lip and got on the bed from the other side, moving gently as if she were a thief.
The man's eyes were fixed on her, making her scalp tingle.
She lay back under the covers, as far away from the man as she could, but his overbearing aura still made her uneasy.
She thought maybe he had been in too long and she hadn't even noticed him, making him angry? "I was just reading a book, I didn't know you were coming, sorry about that." Summers licked her lips and said softly, "I'll pay attention next time."
"Go to sleep!" Ling Yichen was discontented in his heart.
Where did Lu Wanru find that woman? In the future, if his son was like this woman, soft as cotton, how could that be?
"Oh." Xia Mao felt a buzz in her head.
When she heard the word "sleep" now, she immediately thought of doing that thing.
But what did he mean by these two words to himself now? Was he trying to get her to take the initiative?
Looking at the dumb-headed woman, Ling Yichen turned back and switched off the bedside lamp beside him, then reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, his palms following her lapels and slipping into her clothes.
He clearly felt the woman stiffen, but he only gave her a few gentle 扌無 flicks before she went limp.
When his fingers reached underneath and felt the slippery wetness all over his hands, his heart suddenly grew weary again.
A woman who looked so pure was no better than that.
He had just felt a little pity, but in the blink of an eye it was gone again.
He really wanted to let go of his hand and leave, but looking at the woman beneath him, with her blushing cheeks and dazed eyes, he couldn't let go.
She was already his woman, and he had not only spent a million dollars, but he was about to let her give birth to his child, so why should he leave?
"Mmm ...... ah ......" the woman's female Joe mouth today was like a classic song that one never tires of hearing, so that he no longer had an ounce of hesitation.
A night of charm, until the sky is white, Ling Yichen only meaningfully look at the drowsy woman beside him.
The woman's body had made him unable to stop, as if he hadn't had sex in eight or ten years!
This discovery really shocked him.
He turned to his side and looked at the flush still on the woman's face, her long eyelashes fluttering gently as she breathed, her thick lips puckered in discontent.
It reminded him of how she had pouted just like that when he had pushed slightly harder, startled and shy, wanting to be angry but not daring to just stare at himself with big watery eyes, making himself want to push harder ......
The fact that she was pretty and cute was undeniable, and it would be nice to have a girl like her.
He looked at the clock on the wall and sat up from the bed at once, tucking the thin covers over her before getting out of bed.
Lu Wanru had told himself that it would only take five days, and it had already been four.
He took another look at the woman on the bed and turned to leave the room.
Lu Wanru was sitting in the living room, as always, waiting for him.
When she saw him appear on the stairs, she was busy welcoming him, "Have dinner before you go!"
Ling Yichen looked at her, nodded and followed her to sit at the dining table.
"You all go down first!" Ling Yichen looked around at the servants and said in a deep voice.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Lu Wanru looked at him, her gentleness still intact.
"After she is pregnant, where are you going to send her?" Ling Yichen raised his hand and rubbed his brow twice, "If you want her to give birth to a healthy child, you can't keep her imprisoned in her room."
"I'm not imprisoning her." Lu Wanru smiled lightly as she served him rice porridge and placed it in front of him, "Tomorrow we'll go back to the old mansion to stay, I'll leave a few reliable people here to take care of her."
Ling Yichen's eyes flashed, his eyebrows tightened and re-stretched, he didn't say anything else.
"The old mansion is not far from here, we can come over anytime, and she can be more comfortable with just leaving her alone here." Lu Wanru's eyes swept another glance at Ling Yichen, seeing that he had already lowered his head and started to eat, so she said no more.
When Wu's mother came down from upstairs to tell Inter Wanru that Xia Mao had woken up and started reading again after eating, Lu Wanru stood up from the sofa, "I'll go check on her alone, you go to the kitchen and make some soup for her."
Opening the door to the room, seeing Xia Mao who was sitting at the table and seriously reading a book, Lu Wanru turned and closed the door behind her and walked up to her, "Tonight is the fifth day."
Chapter 10
Summers didn't quite understand what she meant and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"These five days are your ovulation period, from tomorrow onwards, Mr. and I will move back to the old mansion, you'll be living here by yourself, and you'll be able to be a bit more casual." Lu Wanru's eyes were staring at Xia Mao as she said this, and the surprised expression on her face was all caught in her eyes
"Leaving me alone in such a large courtyard?" After asking in disbelief, Xia Mo said with some embarrassment, "Can you leave someone to be my companion? I ...... am a bit scared."
Lu Wanru then smiled in relief, "I will leave you with a few more people, cooking, room cleaning, yard cleaning, shopping, I will arrange everything for you."
"Thank you, Madam." Only then did Xia Mao reveal an easy smile.
Madam's meaning, she still understood, she meant that tonight was the last time she would do that kind of thing with that man, from tomorrow onwards, she would be the only one in this courtyard, and she would never see him again ...... It was wonderful!
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
The kitchen staff had boiled wu chicken and wolfberry soup for Xia Mao, and had someone go and buy back some loungewear, pajamas, and a few coats according to Xia Mao's size.
Just in case she wanted to take a stroll around the courtyard.
Upstairs Xia Mao did not know that Lu Wanru was downstairs, solidly arranging her life after her pregnancy.
All Xia Mao knew was that her heart was happy, she no longer had to watch the man as if she was being tortured, she could have a good night's sleep in bed by herself until dawn.
Her excitement continued into the night, until Ling Yichen walked in, and the smile in the corner of her eyes still could not be tucked away.
Ling Yichen couldn't help but look at her twice more, only for him to realise that the smile was gone from her face.
His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, was he that annoying?
"You ...... are back?" Xia Mo knowingly put away the things on the table and stood up with some formality, "I, I'll go take a shower first."
Ling Yichen watched her back disappear at the bathroom door before reaching for the book on the table and flipping through it, English.
Is she going to take the university entrance exam?
Ling Yichen's face showed a disdainful smile.
With over a million dollars, still thinking of going to school?
Xia Mao didn't dawdle in the bathroom for much longer today before she stepped out.
Based on her experience over the past two nights, she had discovered that it was better to go along with his wishes and save herself the pain.
She thought to herself that there was only one more night left and that she would just get over it.
And because of her obedience, Ling Yichen's torment was even greater.
He had never imagined that a woman's body could be so soft and supple, making him tireless, and he had the feeling that he wanted to die inside her.
I don't know when it was, but the two of them fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Ling Yichen woke up and looked at the woman who was sleeping in his arms for the first time, his brows knitted slightly and he not so gently pulled his arm out from under her neck.
The woman wrinkled her eyebrows and pouted her cherry lips, shrinking her head under the covers as if she were pampered, muttering, "...... mum, let me sleep a little longer ......"
The woman's eyebrows frowned and her eyelashes fluttered twice, so he jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, he took one look at the woman sleeping like a piglet on the bed and went straight downstairs.
Lu Wanru, who was sitting in the living room, greeted him and said, "I'll pack up my things later and go back to the old mansion, at night, you can also go back there directly."
"Mm." Ling Yichen nodded his head and walked out without eating.
Lu Wanru also didn't call him again.
Since a few years ago, they had become a couple that respected each other like ice.
Wu's mother looked on and shook her head in her heart. She walked over to Lu Wanru's side and had the intention to say a few words of advice, but she didn't know how to speak.
"You don't need to take all of Mr.'s things away, leave some of them here." Although Lu Wanru did not know how effective the medicine she had given Xia Mao was, but Bo Wen had blown it out of the water, so maybe it really did have some effect?
She didn't want to stop Ling Yichen from getting in touch with Xia Mao, anyway, she had given her over a million dollars for the woman upstairs.
And she would rather have Ling Yichen hooked on this Summer's End than Lu Wanqiu.
She had many ways to deal with Xia Mao, but Lu Wanqiu was not so easy to deal with.
It was only in the afternoon, after Xia Mao learned that Madam had left, that she walked out of her room for the first time and cautiously went downstairs.
"Hello, Miss." The middle-aged woman who was cleaning on the ground floor saw Xia Mao and was busy coming forward to greet her, "I am Feng Ma, you can tell me directly if you have any orders later."
"I don't have anything to do," Xia Mao reached out and ran her hand through her hair, "I just want to come out for a walk."
"Madam has said that she has prepared clothes for you, so if you want to go out, wear more so that you don't catch a cold."
Feng Ma's respectful attitude made Xia Mao uncomfortable, she smiled and said to Feng Ma, "You don't need to call me Miss Miss, just call me Mao Mao. That's what everyone in my family is called."
"It's better to call you Miss." Feng Ma's attitude was gentle, but not at all compromising.
Xia Mao couldn't, so she could only let her go.
She put on her thick cotton clothes, put her hat and hand pockets on, and walked out with one of the little maids, walking around the mansion before returning to it to eat and wash up, then went to bed early and slept.
This sleep lasted until sunrise when she woke up naturally.
She stretched out in bed and stayed in bed for a while longer before sitting up and getting dressed.
After three days of this, Lu Wanru came with Wu's mother to pick her up for a check-up.
Xia Mao wore the clothes Lu Wanru had prepared for her, silver and white flat boots, a black velvet and cotton tracksuit, and a white down jacket.
She looked full of youthful energy, but also delicate and lovely.
Although Xia Mao did not recognise the brand, the comfort of the clothes and shoes let her know that they must have been very expensive.
Her heart was heavy, she wished she could get pregnant, then in ten months she would be free again.
But she was afraid she would get pregnant, she was only eighteen, she was only a high school student, how could she get pregnant and have a baby?
But thinking about those five humiliating nights, she secretly began to pray that she would still get pregnant, otherwise she would not still have to do that thing with that man?
With this in mind, Xia Mao followed behind Lu Wanru and Wu Ma and had a series of tests done.
Then she sat in the empty corridor with a maid called Xiao Cui, while Wu Ma helped Madame to the doctor's office.
In ten minutes or so, Madam and Wu's mother came out of the office with happy faces and rushed over to Xia Mao.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal," Lu Wanru took Xia Mao's hand with great enthusiasm, "and buy you something else."
"No need, madam, I don't lack anything." Xia Mao was busy refusing, "You have already bought me too many things, I really don't lack anything."
"Then I'll treat you to a big meal, you can't refuse this." Lu Wanru's gentle attitude made Xia Mao, who was afraid of seeing her acquaintances, have no way to refuse and had to nod her head in agreement.
On the way, Xia Mao's heart couldn't calm down, she didn't expect that she was really pregnant!
But what she didn't expect was that this celebration meal ......
