BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 - 139: Trying on Clothes (3)
At the moment, his face was calm, “You know what kind of a person my mother is. She’s like a gust of wind, doing whatever comes to mind immediately, and she prefers to see immediate results. If you dampen her enthusiasm now, it might just spur her on to other ideas. You wouldn’t want her to get angry and actually be present when us ‘dealing with issues’ at night, would you?”
“But…” Lu Weixi said in a low voice, “She won’t really stay here until after I get pregnant, will she? I just took contraceptive pills; it’s impossible for me to get pregnant in the next half year. And even if it’s possible, pregnancy isn’t something that happens the day after you decide you want it. If she really stays here all this time, wouldn’t we…”
Perhaps because it seemed a bit indelicate to voice such a thought, both she and Qin Zhiyou knew what she meant. If Yang Mogui stayed, given her personality, it was unlikely she would skulk in corners every night, but she would certainly lean on Qin Zhiyou to spend all his nights there.
She had been married to Qin Zhiyou for five years, and they had spent quite a few nights together; they even showered together regularly. But considering his nightly energy, if he came back every day, not to mention Qin Zhiyou, she felt she would be drained just thinking about it.
Qin Zhiyou watched her voice become smaller and smaller, her gaze lower and lower. Although he couldn’t see her expression, he could see her toe tapping the ground, a bit shy.
This shy look of hers reminded him of the former Miss Bai somehow, who appeared feisty and intimidating at first glance but was full of bluster, inwardly shy and awkward, and would blush and explode with anger when teased.
He sighed with an exaggerated air, “But the more you want my mother to leave now, given her character, she’ll likely get angrier. Ms. Yang is a person who won’t rest until she’s achieved her goal.”
Lu Weixi looked up at him, seeing him frown, his gaze wandering to the side, an expression of worry on his face.
Does this mean he’ll really have to come back everyday? She had envisioned, after Qin Zhiyou cut off contacts with other women and stabilized, to consider getting pregnant. But she never expected things to move so fast, to storm in like a cyclone. Yang Mogui practically dragged him back home the very next day.
This… this is moving too fast. Does this mean she would be pregnant by the end of the year at the earliest? And for the next half year, Qin Zhiyou might even have to come back every day.
“How about this,” Qin Zhiyou tried to soften the situation, “Although my mother is very proactive and extremely stubborn, she also has very little patience. Since you are still recuperating, and even if your health is restored, it’s better not to conceive within the next half year anyway. Even after half a year, it’s not like we can succeed on the first try. This delay would easily carry into the next seven or eight months. I don’t believe my mother can stick around for so long. She’d most likely want to go to Northern Europe during summer and Australia in winter, traveling all over the world. At most, I think she would only stick around for two to three months. During this time, let’s put on a show of affection to reassure her. Once she feels everything is okay, she won’t keep hanging around here. After she leaves, things can go back to how they were.”
After much consideration, Lu Weixi could only agree. Seeing how quickly she agreed, he wished he had suggested four or five months instead.
With this petty regret in his heart, Qin Zhiyou asked another question, “My mom mentioned that she went shopping with you and you bought some nice clothes. What do they look like? Wear them so I can see..”
