Chapter 146: What If I Am Pregnant?
âItâs not the right time yet,â said Ye Xiaoxian while pouring the sunscreen into bottles. âShe was just promoted. If we go to see her now we will appear impatient to curry the Wongsâ favor. Iâm afraid in that way weâll spoil Baozhuâs chance. Weâd better wait for a while.â
Ye Xiaoxian also said, âI have an idea. Iâll go and give Liu Qianqian a bottle of sunscreen tomorrow and ask her to inquire about Baozhu. She will surely manage it.â
â¦
The following day in the Liu family.
Liu Qianqian opened the bottle and asked Ye Xiaoxian in confusion, âLittle Ye, why are you giving me sunscreen? Donât you know that Iâm the kind of a lady who doesnât even leave her room? I wonât get much suns.h.i.+ne. Even if I go out, Iâll be in a palanquin.â
Ye Xiaoxian smiled. âYou can use it when in your garden, right? How can a person not sunbathe? Youâll be healthier if you get more suns.h.i.+ne.â
Liu Qianqian then checked out Ye Xiaoxian carefully and found that she was looking very healthy.
âLittle Ye, what have you been eating recently? Why are you looking so vibrant?â
âAm I?â asked Ye Xiaoxian.
She thought about it and said, âMaybe because my staff in the restaurant have grown up. I no longer have to cook all day in the kitchen. When Iâm free, I just stay at home and make seasonings and spice powders. I donât have to run around or be exposed to oil and grease, so my skinâs becoming healthier.â
Liu Qianqian carefully looked at Ye Xiaoxian again and shook her head. âI donât think so.â
âSo, what else?â
Ye Xiaoxian thought to herself, âDo you know me better than I know myself?â
Liu Qianqian suddenly smiled in a naughty way. âLittle Ye, you and your husband must have consummated. I heard from my ma that a woman who is loved looks exactly the way you do now, all plumped up.â
âUmâ¦is that so?â
Liu Qianqian noticed Ye Xiaoxianâs puzzled expression and then shouted, âI knew it! You must have consummated with Xiao Baoshan. Hahahaâ¦because you do not deny it but only wonder whether this was right or wrong, hahahaâ¦â
âYou naughty thing!â Ye Xiaoxian acted as if she was going to pinch Liu Qianqian.
âAhhh, soon youâll be a real married woman in future!â shouted Liu Qianqian while running. âLittle Ye is going to have a baby!â
Ye Xiaoxian heard this and suddenly paused.
Have a baby?
They did not have any contraception here and she and Xiao Baoshan did it rather pa.s.sionately. What if she was really pregnant? What would she do then?
âLittle Ye, whatâs wrong with you? Are you really pregnant?â asked Liu Qianqian.
âNo, I still had my period a short while before. Howeverâ¦â Ye Xiaoxian suddenly asked worriedly, âWhat if Iâm really pregnant? Iâm not prepared.â
âWhat preparation do you need for this?â Liu Qianqian also felt surprised. âIf youâre pregnant, you just deliver the baby. What do you need to prepare? A nanny? Baby clothes? You wonât give birth for ten months anyway. Itâs not like if youâre pregnant today that youâll give birth tomorrow. Itâs a long time. You have time to prepare whatever you want.â
Oh, it was another culture clash. Ye Xiaoxian could not be bothered to explain it. âLetâs not talk about this. Letâs chat about you. Howâs it going? Iâm almost going to have a baby but what about your marriage? Hasnât your pa found a proper suitor for you? Or is it that you think rather lowly of them all and are still infatuated with your cousin-in-law?â
Talking of this, Liu Qianqian fell into silence for a while but before long she became energetic again. âLittle Ye, your sunscreen will come in handy. Iâm going out in the afternoon.â
âWhere are you going?â asked Ye Xiaoxian.
