Chapter 133: A Wealth of Rewards for You!
Although Yu Bao said this morning that Wang Chuan definitely knew about it, I still asked with the mindset that maybe he didn’t know. After all, it would be understandable if he truly didn’t. The nervousness was much like having an ultrasound—wondering what the baby inside you looks like. Having someone with almost x-ray vision who could tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl—how could I not be anxious?
Seeing my nervousness, Wang Chuan leaned in and whispered, “Do you want a boy or a girl?”
I squinted and thought for a moment. “I want a boy.”
Perhaps it was my admiration for Wang Chuan; I imagined a dominant little male beast—it was thrilling beyond words.
“Then it’s a boy,” he replied, but not with absolute certainty.
“Hey?” I sighed. He was keeping me in suspense! This guy never gives me a clear answer! Damn it!
But by now, I had learned to handle him smoothly.
So I smiled, lifting his shirt a bit, teasing the firm flesh at his side with my fingers, and set a condition.
“How about this... if you tell me, you’ll get lots and lots of rewards tonight, plenty.” I licked my lips, knowing well that his weakness was my tongue.
“A boy,” he said.
The expected answer came so fast I barely had time to react.
Was he really giving in that easily? I hadn’t even used my second move!
“How do you know?” I asked.
“The male scent—since your bathroom trips started smelling stronger, I knew.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier!” I took a deep breath, holding back the urge to bite him twice!
“You didn’t ask.”
“How would I know you’d know?”
“You didn’t show any curiosity.”
“I... I just... I thought it didn’t matter if it was a boy or a girl! I...” I scrambled for excuses but ran out of words.
“Then why did you say you wanted a boy?”
“You’re being unreasonable now. You know you win every argument, and yet you keep pressing me like this, making me mad... Doesn’t that make you wrong? You’re wrong, you just—”
Ignoring my complaints, he slowly shifted, trying to move away from my legs.
But he grabbed my waist firmly, holding me in place.
“Don’t think about running. The promised rewards must be given.”
“Hey, hey!”
I never have the upper hand physically; once restrained, I knew I’d be sleeping with a numb tongue again tonight...
“Master... can we...”
“Call me husband.”
“Hu-husband... can we...”
“No.”
Amid my wails, I was forced to fulfill my promise—the ‘lots and lots of rewards.’
---
Sadly, what counted as “lots and lots” for this insatiable male beast was not proportional to what I could give! Not at all!
In the end, I hung around his neck, miserably begging.
“I can’t take it anymore, please... I... you’re going to wear me out...”
He squinted, smiling recklessly. “Beg me.”
“Okay, okay, please... please... you’re the best! The best master! The best husband! I love you the most, like you the most!”
I showered him with sweet words, and only then was the battle mercifully over, and I was put down.
Sweaty and exhausted, I collapsed.
That guy still looked insatiable.
“Tsk tsk... I thought you were tougher. Today isn’t over yet; you still owe me.”
“Owe?!” My trembling, numb legs wailed, “Can’t you not do this?”
“No.”
I was already struggling to breathe steadily, on the verge of foaming at the mouth!
Finally, I understood what it meant to be undone by your own folly!
And now I knew why he answered so quickly earlier.
He had clearly spotted the loophole in my “lots and lots”!
Next time, next time there’s such a deal, I’ll set a clear price—no getting tricked again!
After the sweat dried, he carried me away. We didn’t get into the bathtub, just wiped off and came back.
Weak and limp, I lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.
I could feel his warm hand resting on my belly, seemingly lost in thought.
But I had no energy to care, until the next morning—or rather, noon. I slept until the sun was high overhead, then lazily woke up.
He was getting dressed again.
He seemed to always time it perfectly—dressing just as I was about to wake, so by the time I opened my eyes fully, he was done.
But his clothes this time were special—I’d never seen him wear anything like this before!
A casual white shirt, short-sleeved with a fitted waist and standing collar, the cuffs and button line trimmed with about a centimeter of black, with a touch of gold embroidery. He paired it with deep blue jeans—two sturdy, long legs, clearly modern human style.
He ran his fingers through his long hair, frowned, then casually ruffled it until it transformed into a normal short hairstyle.
Perhaps unwilling to accept such short hair, he left some strands near his ears and a bit of bangs. He looked like a charming, slightly goofy handsome lamb, rather than the fierce ancient warrior type.
If his eyes weren’t so sharp, his dark blue pupils fierce-looking, I might have been tempted to pull him over and tease him.
But this... the vibe was off. I’d never seen him dress like this! Dressing so adorably handsome—what was he up to?
“What are you up to again?” I moved lazily, still feeling a bit uncomfortable.
I was so tired, about to explode from exhaustion!
There was a small drawer under the bed holding things we didn’t often use. He crouched to rummage through it.
From here, I could see his collar slightly open, his chest muscles and broad shoulders looking so solid and dependable.
Unable to resist, though exhausted, I squinted and rolled over, reaching out to call him.
“Why aren’t you paying attention to me...”
He sat down, leaning against the bed. I grabbed his arm possessively, touching those muscles, my mouth watering in my heart.
“Get up,” he said, placing a pillow behind me, wanting me to wake up properly.
---
But I was so worn out from last night’s ordeal that I had no desire to move.
“If you don’t get up soon, it’ll be dark.”
“If it’s dark, I’ll just keep sleeping.”
“You need to eat something.”
“All I need is enough sleep.”
“I’ll take you to see Xin’er soon.”
“Then I’ll sleep a little longer.”
After this neat little exchange, I lazily sank back into sleep.
Three seconds later, I opened my eyes and glared at him.
“What did you say?”
“I said I’ll take you to see Xin’er, bring her over to play for a few days.”
“Holy crap!” I jumped out of bed, not caring if I was dressed, pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, then started giggling foolishly!
Wang Chuan didn’t say a word but caught me and flicked my behind.
Since he learned that “holy crap” wasn’t a nice phrase, he no longer allowed me to say it—but that was just a verbal rule, and I was too excited!
He was really going to take me to see Xin’er!
Since the last time I went to see Xin’er and got into trouble thanks to Han Mingxuan’s bead, and now being pregnant, I really dared not run around recklessly.
I had been holding back from mentioning it for a long time!
I also thought Wang Chuan disliked Han Mingxuan, which was why Yu Bao accompanied me last time.
But this time, he voluntarily said he would go with me himself!
“Why the sudden urge to take me to see Xin’er?”
“Because you behaved very well last night.” He kissed my forehead and smiled.
“Can you go to the human world? Can you meet... Han Mingxuan?”
“Mm.” He nodded. “Recently, my soul shaping is pretty good; I can maintain a human form in the human world. We can give it a try.”
I nodded, understanding that now he could maintain his true form instead of the vague light form he took when encountering the resentful ghost.
He started helping me dress. He stood on the floor while I knelt on the bed. The clothes were quite ordinary—a little summer dress from the human world.
The shell-shaped bust was cool and breezy; the flat chest was pushed up a bit, thanks to the pregnancy, revealing some cleavage, looking quite sexy.
I smiled secretly. This little stingy one had come around? He actually dared to let me wear something so revealing and sexy to go out?
But, a few seconds later, he took that off and changed me into a short-sleeved top, less low-cut.
The skirt was ombre, darker toward the bottom, all candy colors, perfectly suited for summer.
When he turned me around to tie the ribbons at the back of the dress, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
I was in such a good mood! Soon I would see Xin’er!
I wondered how she had changed over these past six months!
