I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 377

Chapter 377 – “What do you think my odds are?” (1)

Lu Beichuan went home drunk that night.

The now four-month pregnant Ye Zhen detected the perfume that was not hers when she helped Lu Beichuan out of his clothes. A pregnant woman was very sensitive.

Ye Zhen, however, was also aware that Lu Beichuan, as the boss of a company, would need to network from time to time.

Ye Zhen held herself back that night. She let Lu Beichuan have a good night’s sleep. She even kindly gave him hangover tea, rubbed him down, and helped him change. She did all these things herself instead of having someone else do them.

Granted, when Lu Beichuan woke up with a splitting headache the next morning, he was met with a smiling Ye Zhen.

His suit jacket from the night before was still hanging there by the bed.

The moment that Lu Beichuan caught sight of his jacket, he decided to tell Ye Zhen the truth.

“I ran into Shen Weiyin at the banquet last night. The Shen’s are in trouble as of late, and she begged me to help her out. As such, it was inevitable that she tried to get close to me physically.”

Minus some of the details, Lu Beichuan told her more or less what had happened.

Ye Zhen gave him a smile that was not a smile. “Getting close to you physically huh?” She sniffed at a small corner of the suit. “The fragrance is quite dense. Do you still remember how long the two of you hugged?”

Lu Beichuan paused for a little, and his tone turned stiff without him noticing. He forced himself to look into Eye Zhen’s eyes squarely. “I was drunk. I don’t recall.”

“Drunk? Don’t recall?” Ye Zhen got close to him and looked at him with her eyes narrowed. There was open honesty and tenderness in his eyes. “Don’t recall or dare not tell me? The smell of the perfume was so strong. Did you roll in bed with her, Lu Beichuan?”

Lu Beichuan looked at her steadfastly, “No, I have nothing to do with her.”

Ye Zhen, with her protruding stomach, walked back and forth in front of the bed. She was taking advantage of the fact that she was a pregnant woman who was very much doted upon. “Is that so?”

“Of course.” Lu Beichuan asked her a question back, “Do you not trust me?”

And now the ball was in her court.

Ye Zhen looked Lu Beichuan up and down and finally pardoned him begrudgingly after a long while. “Fine. I will let this one slide this time. Stay away from those women next time. I am a woman too and I am well aware of their intentions. You come home with such a strong perfume smell next time, you can sleep in the study. Don’t crawl into my bed.”

Lu Beichuan chuckled and indulged her behavior and her tone. Rubbing her stomach gently, he whispered softly into her ear, “Have our babies been docile?”

“Not that docile. These two brats are much more troublemakers than Zhouzhou was. I had been feeling so nauseated in the last two days that I couldn’t stomach anything. Look,” said Ye Zhen as she stuck her face closer to him. “I have lost so much weight that you can see my cheekbones now.”

Her skin was alabaster, fine and flawless. She looked nothing like a pregnant woman.

Lu Beichuan gave her a kiss tenderly and said, “I’ll teach them a lesson after their arrival.”

Basking in the warm sun pouring throught the window, the two of them enjoy their rare moments of affection inside their room.

As she was pregnant with twins, Ye Zhen’s stomach was a little bigger than when she was pregnant with Zhouzhou. Granted, her pregnancy reactions were also worse than before. She couldn’t eat or sleep very well. Others would gain weight when they are pregnant, but she had been losing weight. There was nothing she could do to change that.

That made Mother Lu worried. Ye Zhen had two babies inside of her. She must eat something. Mother Lu tried her best to come up with delectable food for Ye Zhen. She had consulted quite a few renowned OBGYN doctors. but the situation still hadn’t improved.

As such, meat and other strong-smelling food wasn’t seen on the Lu family’s dinner table. Mother Lu and Lu Beichuan were fine, they would just think of eating vegetarian dishes as a form of cleansing. Zhouzhou, however, felt very wronged when there was no meat on the table. He pouted and asked for meat.

Mother Lu brought Zhouzhou with her to dine in the living room so that Ye Zhen’s appetite would not be affected by seeing meat. The little kiddo, however, thought he was so smart when he placed a chicken drumstick into Ye Zhen’s bowl as extra nutrients for her. “Mommy, eat more so my little brother and little sister can grow faster.”

The outcome was predictable. Looking at the greasy piece of drumstick, Ye Zhen rushed into the bathroom and almost puked her stomach out.
