CH 54

The smart brain, Silver Arc, circled anxiously, fearing that Pei Zhaozhou’s straightforward words would anger Mr. Si and hurriedly advised him in a gentle tone, “Master, think about Young Master. Mr. Si will leave tomorrow, and the Young Master won’t have another biological father.”

Pei Zhaozhou suppressed his frown, lips pursed in a tight line, refusing to speak for a long time. It was only when Si Huaixi made a move that Pei Zhaozhou anxiously thought he was going to close the door and shouted in a panicked voice, “Don’t close it!”

Si Huaixi’s eyes paused for a moment and he said, “Come in.”

“Or we can resolve it at the doorstep, you choose.”

Under the intense and cold gaze of Si Huaixi, Pei Zhaozhou tightened his lips even more, resisting the urge to lower his head to him.

In the tense confrontation, Pei Zhaozhou suddenly felt a small kick in his stomach and instinctively covered it. The golden hues of his eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

Then it happened again.

He clearly felt the movement of the fetus in his stomach, and his gaze froze in an instant.

Silver Arc, the smart brain, exclaimed beside them, “Ah, Young Master, is this fetal movement? So touching! Silver Arc must record this magical moment!”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes suddenly lit up with realization, and he placed his hands on his abdomen, still somewhat at a loss.

Si Huaixi’s pupils contracted. He didn’t know about Pei Zhaozhou’s pregnancy, but he clearly saw Brother Pei’s soft abdomen move when he covered it.

Si Huaixi couldn’t afford to continue the cold war. He asked with deep concern, “Brother Pei, where is your stomach medicine?”

In an instant, Pei Zhaozhou’s mind flashed, stomach medicine… oh, it was another excuse he came up with to keep it from Si Huaixi.

Si Huaixi’s gaze became deep, and his tone became grave. He said, “Brother Pei, tell me, is it really a stomach problem or some other incurable disease?”

“Go to the doctor with me for a thorough examination, regardless of the illness.”

Pei Zhaozhou chuckled softly, “This one can’t be cured.”

Si Huaixi’s body stiffened, his gaze stunned. “Can’t be cured?”

Even at this point, Pei Zhaozhou remained steadfast in keeping his pregnancy a secret.

“Well, it can’t be cured. I have stomach bloating.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes narrowed, and he forced a laugh. “Brother Pei, don’t lie to me. Does stomach bloating make your stomach move, not just once, but twice?”

Pei Zhaozhou asked, “Have you ever had stomach bloating?”

Si Huaixi replied, “…No.”

Pei Zhaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, and with a determined look in his eyes, he cunningly argued, “Then how do you know that what I have isn’t stomach bloating!”

Damn it, that statement makes so much sense.

Si Huaixi gritted his teeth, unsure of how to counter it at the moment.

“Since you claim it’s stomach bloating, where’s your medicine? Don’t you usually carry it with you?” 

Pei Zhaozhou furrowed his brow slightly. The gastric medicine was indeed in his pocket, but he had no intention of actually taking any.

“It’s in my resting cabin.”

“Really?”

Si Huaixi raised a skeptical gaze and slowly approached Pei Zhaozhou, releasing an invisible surge of psychic energy.

In an instant, Pei Zhaozhou felt a tightness in his mind. An indescribable intuition urged him to flee, causing him to shift his weight backward.

“Well, I’ll go back to the resting cabin and get the medicine.”

“Too late.”

Si Huaixi’s voice rang out coldly and mercilessly. When Pei Zhaozhou looked over, he noticed that Si Huaixi had somehow acquired a box of gastric medicine in his hand.

Subconsciously patting his pocket, Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes turned cold as he realized that the medicine had been taken from him.

Si Huaixi carefully examined the gastric medicine, squinting as he asked, “Twelve pills of gastric medicine, not a single one missing. Brother Pei, what did you actually take?”

“And besides, this medicine… is not for treating gastric distention.”

Pei Zhaozhou remained composed and said, “It’s for treating gastric ulcers. I happen to have gastric ulcers.”

Si Huaixi’s hand holding the medicine trembled, his gaze growing even deeper. “So, are you telling me now that you want to go back to the resting cabin and get the medicine for stomach bloating?”

Pei Zhaozhou replied, “Yes, give me back the medicine. I’ll find the medicine for stomach bloating myself.”

Even at this point, he still had to act tough!

Si Huaixi was so frustrated that he almost choked on his words. Without saying a word, he grabbed Pei Zhaozhou’s hand and tried to pull him into the room.

Since he refused to go for a check-up, then he would use his psychic power to examine what was actually wrong with Pei Zhaozhou’s stomach!

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes were filled with anger as he attempted to break free from Si Huaixi’s grasp. But even as a S-class Alpha, he couldn’t escape from him. It was as if he was tightly pinned down by a heavy stone.

“Let go of me!” Pei Zhaozhou’s heart raced, and he shouted in anger.

He knew very well that Si Huaixi wasn’t some kind of X-ray device. Even if he were to be examined, it would be impossible to detect his pregnancy. Yet, Pei Zhaozhou couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling in his heart.

Si Huaixi sneered and said, “No… Never let you go.”
