Chapter 192

He carried Zhi Yao into the car and called to make an appointment with their family doctor. Seeing Pei Chiyao's actions, Zhi Yao felt it was really unnecessary. "I really don't feel unwell at all. There's no need to trouble the doctor."

"No. We must have you checked." Pei Chiyao's attitude was resolute. He could listen to Zhi Yao on other matters, but when it came to health, and especially considering... He lowered his gaze to Zhi Yao's abdomen.

He had been particularly diligent lately. Surely their little fox cub must be queuing up by now?

He was filled with anticipation.

Seeing Pei Chiyao so determined, Zhi Yao didn't argue further.

As the car slowly started moving, just two or three minutes into the journey, Zhi Yao felt extremely tired and drowsy. Her head drooped, nodding off bit by bit, and she was about to fall over when Pei Chiyao, quick as lightning, caught her head and let it rest on his shoulder.

To avoid the car's instability waking Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao simply parked by the roadside and texted the family doctor to wait at the villa.

He opened his browser and nervously began searching — "What are the symptoms of pregnancy?"

Without exception, the results included symptoms such as drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and more.

Zhi Yao used to have a good appetite and had never thrown up before. Moreover, she had slept for a full ten hours today. Logically, she shouldn't be this sleepy, right?

The more Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao, the more he felt she must be pregnant.

He suppressed his excitement and started planning for their marriage registration.

Hmm, in Ireland, once you're registered, you can't get divorced. Maybe they should go there to handle the marriage procedures.

This wait lasted three hours before Zhi Yao slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes in confusion, not seeing the place she expected, still in the car.

The young woman, a bit dazed, said, "Pei Chiyao, aren't we home yet?"

"No, I didn't want to wake you."

Zhi Yao was startled, "Didn't you make an appointment with the family doctor?"

"I told him to wait. You're the most important."

Although Pei Chiyao usually pampered her, he had never gone to this extent. The young woman suddenly looked at Pei Chiyao with suspicion.

"Pei Chiyao, did... did you do something to betray me?"

She looked at him vigilantly.

Hearing this, Pei Chiyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My little ancestor, how would I dare? If I betrayed you, wouldn't your father and brother tear me to pieces?"

Well, that was true.

"Alright, now that you're awake, let's go home. The doctor is still waiting."

He was waiting too, to welcome his little fox cub.

...

By the time they got home, another half hour had passed.

After a series of examinations by the doctor and waiting for the results, it was nearly eight in the evening when Pei Chiyao finally got the report.

Pei Chiyao knew well that Zhi Yao responded better to gentle persuasion. He pressed her onto the bed, nuzzling her neck and saying, "Yao Yao, I really love little fox cubs. I want one that belongs to you and me so much... Can't you fulfill this wish for me?"

When he looked up again, his eyes were red-rimmed.

It was his usual tactic of looking pitiful.

"Yao Yao, please have a little fox cub for me..."

He was almost begging Zhi Yao with a sincere attitude.

Zhi Yao hadn't expected Pei Chiyao to want a little fox cub so badly. She actually didn't have much feeling about it, because she still felt like a little fox cub herself.

But Pei Chiyao...

Seeing this, Zhi Yao really couldn't harden her heart.

Reluctantly, the young woman said, "Alright then, thirty years is too long. How about three years?"

She had already made the biggest concession she could.

Pei Chiyao continued to haggle, "Three months."

"No way! Three years!"

"Three months."

"Three years!"

"Three years."

"Three months!"

Zhi Yao: "???"

Had she fallen into a trap?!

The young woman looked up in confusion, only to see Pei Chiyao's slightly curved lips. "As you command. I'll work hard for these three months."

Zhi Yao kicked at him angrily, "You tricked me!"

"It was baby who didn't react quickly enough." His hands started to wander.

"Baby... baby."

Pei Chiyao murmured against Zhi Yao's ear, making the young woman shiver.

He unbuttoned Zhi Yao's shirt and was about to proceed to the next step when suddenly...

Zhi Yao abruptly pushed Pei Chiyao away and rushed into the bathroom. Immediately after, a retching sound came from inside.

Pei Chiyao immediately sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly stepped forward to follow her, asking, "Zhi Yao, what's the matter?"

Zhi Yao's face was streaked with tears, but she felt confused as well. She hadn't eaten anything today! She had only drunk a bowl of porridge, so how could this be happening?!

Pei Chiyao was also extremely worried. "This won't do. We need to go to the hospital!"

Perhaps because the family doctor wasn't professional enough, Pei Chiyao still couldn't put his mind at ease.
