Chapter 137 – Who’s Having a Baby?

Chapter 137 - Who's Having a Baby?

Feng Shuo felt wronged. "Young Master, your question is beyond my expertise. I've never given birth."

After saying that, Feng Shuo quickly caught on.

"Young Master, are you planning to have a baby with Young Lady?" Feng Shuo asked enthusiastically. "I heard that pregnancy requires preparation months in advance. You need to eat nourishing foods to provide ample nutrition for the mother, ensuring the child will be healthy and smart."

Huo Tingying was instantly intrigued and asked seriously, "Preparation? What kind of preparation?"

"Eh..." Feng Shuo thought about it but realized his knowledge in this area was lacking. "Perhaps, Young Master, you should consult an expert. Young Lord Lu is a doctor; he would definitely know."

Huo Tingying nodded, taking this matter to heart.

He glanced out the window and said, "Turn right, let's go to the food street."

He wanted something spicy, and he ate three pounds of it.

Could it really be true?

When Huo Tingying returned home with crayfish, Yun Mu immediately took the food box to the balcony and started eating eagerly.

"Why are you eating crayfish like you're doing something sneaky?" Huo Tingying took off his coat and threw it on the sofa as he approached.

"My grandfather has been watching me too closely recently. Yesterday, I couldn't resist ordering hot pot delivery, but he confiscated it after just one bite..."

"That's pitiful, isn't it?"

As Yun Mu peeled the shrimp and looked up, she saw Huo Tingying leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, engrossed in his phone messages.

His lazy yet serious demeanor was irresistible, and Yun Mu couldn't help but stare a little longer.

She didn't know what had come over her lately, but the more she looked at this man, the more pleasing he became.

For a moment, Yun Mu forgot to put the peeled shrimp into her mouth.

"Is the shrimp not good? Wife, your gaze looks like you want to devour me whole."

The man's voice was filled with seduction, making Yun Mu's heart flutter.

"What nonsense are you spouting! The shrimp is good, do you want some?"

Yun Mu hastily changed the subject, offering him the peeled shrimp.

Huo Tingying smiled, "We're a proper married couple, what's there to be afraid of?"

War Goddess felt embarrassed and awkward!

"Do you want to eat or not?"

Suddenly, her waist was tightly encircled!

Yun Mu let out a light cry, unable to react before she was pulled into Huo Tingying's embrace.

A scorching and intense kiss followed!

Dizzy from the kiss, Yun Mu dropped the shrimp onto the table when the kiss ended.

The culprit wore a satisfied smile.

"I don't eat shrimp, I eat you." The man's voice was hoarse and rich, sending tingles through her body.

This man had truly become more audacious these past few days.

He wouldn't let her go whenever he got the chance.

Like a ravenous beast finally tasting meat after years of hunger, he savored every bit without restraint!

"Huo Tingying... can't you stop acting like a ravenous wolf? Can't you let me eat in peace... mmm..."

Thus, the result of her protest was...

an even more domineering and intense kiss.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Mu felt her entire body go limp, her lips numb, and almost ready to ignite sparks. It wasn't until then that Huo Tingying finally released her.

"Eat while it's still warm, or it'll get cold."

Finally, the man showed some conscience.

Yun Mu glared at him. "You knew it was going to get cold?"

Huo Tingying didn't argue and instead patiently helped her peel the shrimp while wearing gloves.

Before long, Yun Mu's bowl was piled high with shrimp tails.

"Eat while it's hot. After you finish, I'll have the kitchen prepare a light soup for you to cleanse your palate," Huo Tingying said gently.

What was happening to him?

"Why do I feel like both you and your grandfather are treating me like a pig?"

"Don't insult yourself like that. You're much slimmer than a pig."

"..."

Huo Tingying peeled another bowl of shrimp for her before putting down the gloves.

"Eat slowly. I'm going to the study to make a call."

Yun Mu hastily waved her hand. "Go on, go on!"

In the study.

The moment Lu Nansen answered the call, Huo Tingying solemnly said, "Lu Nansen, I have a few medical questions to ask you."

Lu Nansen immediately became alert. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"It's not me, it's Yun Mu." For the first time in his life, Huo Tingying humbly sought advice. "What supplements should a pregnant woman take?"

"Pregnant? Who's pregnant?" Lu Nansen was suddenly alarmed. "No way, is Sister-in-law pregnant?"

After some thought, Lu Nansen added, "That doesn't make sense though. Didn't you two only sleep together a few days ago? Even if she were pregnant, it wouldn't be possible to find out so soon."

"She craves spicy food and has a huge appetite."

"That doesn't necessarily mean she's pregnant. Can't it just be that she's craving something? Do I need to educate you that pregnancy can only be detected at least half a month after intercourse?"

It had only been a few days; how could he know Yun Mu was pregnant?

It was impossible!

Unless the child wasn't Huo Tingying's...

"...Do I need to tell you that?" Huo Tingying said. "Precaution is better than cure. Feng Shuo said that women need to prepare months in advance for pregnancy."

Lu Nansen suddenly understood. "You're talking about preconception care. Vitamins, folic acid, calcium tablets—just take those."

"Just that?" Huo Tingying was somewhat skeptical. "Don't we need some high-end supplements or something?"

"No, are you questioning the doctor?" Lu Nansen teased. "Looking at how nervous you are, you really want to be a father, don't you? But have you asked Yun Mu?"

"What do I ask her?"

"Brother, of course you ask her if she wants to be a mother so early. She's barely in her twenties and still in college! Honestly, you're like an old cow eating tender grass!"

"..."

Seeing Huo Tingying's silence, Lu Nansen was surprised. "You didn't even ask if she wanted to?"

Indeed, he hadn't asked.

Because he was afraid that if he did, she would say no.

But after much thought, he felt that having a child might be the only way to keep Yun Mu by his side.

After all, he didn't think he was so self-important as to believe he could keep her just because of himself.

However, Lu Nansen's words gave him a reminder.

"Can you mix those things into something like a regular nutritional drink or pill, so she won't notice?"

Lu Nansen rolled his eyes.

"No."

Huo Tingying raised his eyebrow. "Last time, your dad asked me when you'd be free to go on a blind date..."

"I can, I can!" Lu Nansen gritted his teeth. "Huo Tingying, you're really using threats and inducements to exploit me. I'm your brother, not your slave!"

Huo Tingying added another instruction. "As soon as possible, preferably done by tomorrow."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Nansen suppressed the urge to sever ties.

However, compared to going home and being forced into a blind date and marriage by his old man, giving up the outside world forever, he would rather stay up late in the lab making medicine.

"But I have to warn you, your fait accompli approach might cause Sister-in-law to turn against you once she finds out."

Who could force Yun Mu to do something she disliked with her personality?

Especially something like having a child.

Without answering, Huo Tingying hung up the phone.
