I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 228 – Wasn’t this Ye Qing’s opportunity to appear in front of socialites and shine radiantly and elegantly in the novel? (1)

Ye Zhen was smiling so hard that she was speechless. For an inexplicable reason, she wanted to cry.

It was at this moment, hearing her son calling her mom, that she felt all her efforts and hard work was worth it. It was worth it to do her best to protect him and love him. The hardship of her pregnancy was still vivid in her memory. Just thinking about the pain of childbirth made her rather die than go through that again. But now, she thought it was all worth it.

The evening, Lu Beichuan deliberately stopped working early and came home. Right after stepping into the villa, he was greeted with the sound of happiness and laughter.

Lu Beichuan had a tiring day at work, but he couldn’t help curving the corners of his lips. All that exhaustion was dispersed by those happy sounds.

“Beichuan, why are you home so early? Have you eaten yet? I’ll have someone warm up the food.”

Lu Beichuan took off his jacket and tossed it on the sofa. “Mom, don’t bother with that. I already ate at work. Where Zhenzhen?”

“She went upstairs.” Mother Lu lightly smiled. “Zhouzhou can say mom now. Zhenzhen’s been happy all day. Go upstairs and keep her company.”

Lu Beichuan understood Mother Lu’s meaning. There was no crack in his usual expressionless face as he nodded and went upstairs.

Inside the room and on the bed, Ye Zhen was currently teaching Zhouzhou to recognize images of animals.

“This is a big tiger, this is a little lion…”

Hearing the smile couldn’t be hidden in Ye Zhen’s voice, Lu Beichuan lowered his head and couldn’t help laughing. He strode into the room and saw Ye Zhen holding Zhouzhou while pointing at the cartoon animals in the picture book.

“Mr. Lu, you’re back so early today. Not busy?”

“It’s okay.” Lu Beichuan sat down next to Ye Zhen and listened to Ye Zhen continuing to teach Zhouzhou.

“This is a little mouse, this is a little rabbit, the little rabbit is so white, both its ears are perked up…”

Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen’s beaming face. Underneath the light, her fair skin was bright, and he could clearly see the fine hairs on her skin. It was said there was an implicit charm to looking at a beauty under artificial light. Caught up in the moment and mostly out of a man’s instinct, Lu Beichuan lightly kissed Ye Zhen’s cheek.

Caught off guard, Ye Zhen didn’t have any look of resistance. She only looked at Lu Beichuan, and then at Zhouzhou. Rather embarrassed, she lowered her voice to say, “What are you doing? Zhouzhou is here!”

Lu Beichuan’s voice was hoarse. “He couldn’t understand anyways.”

“He’s so young. Don’t lead him down the crooked path!”

Zhouzhou, who was being held in Ye Zhen’s arms and who Lu Beichuan said couldn’t understand, stretched his hand out and smacked Lu Beichuan’s face. Baring his teeth, he stared at his dad.

Ye Zhen lowered her head and tried her best to not smile. It was really hard keeping a straight face. “Zhouzhou is still young. He doesn’t know anything, so please don’t lower yourself to his level.”

Zhouzhou’s slap had broken Lu Beichuan out of his mesmerized state. He unhappily stared at Zhouzhou with furrowed brows. The more he looked at him, the more he thought this brat had done that deliberately.

As for the little brat in Lu Beichuan’s eyes, he was like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. He stared at him disrespectfully and lazily lied in Ye Zhen’s arms. His gaze was spoiled and prideful. The words, “I have a backer” was practically written on his face.

However, that look was enough for Lu Beichuan to look away. He felt he was being silly. Why get annoyed at something his son did? His son was so little.

“Alright, you took care of Zhouzhou all day. You’re tired and so is Zhouzhou. Give him to me, I’ll bring him to the nursery.”

Ye Zhen had been okay before Lu Beichuan mentioned it, but once he did, her muscles feel stiff all over, especially on her arms and shoulders. She felt soreness at the slightest movement.

“I’ll coax him to sleep. You can take a shower first.”

Lu Beichuan glanced at Zhouzhou, who was lying in Ye Zhen’s arms and walked into the bathroom without saying a word.
