Chapter 74.2

Wen Chi, who had been enjoying himself not long ago, already felt that a catastrophe was imminent, until he smelled the cool fragrance from Shi Ye’s body, and suddenly realized that Shi Ye had approached him at some point.

Before he could react, a hand was placed on his stomach.

Wen Chi was startled but he didn’t dare to move.

His limbs were stiff, leaning against Shi Ye’s arms like a piece of wood and Shi Ye’s palm was lightly pressed against his flat stomach.

Candles flickered in the room.

In this warm yellow silent air, Wen Chi heard his heart beating violently, he was nervous and afraid, at the same time, he also heard Shi Ye’s breathing became a little rough but he didn’t know why Shi Ye was nervous.

After a long time, Shi Ye said, “Are you sure?”

Wen Chi was timid and regretted but it’s hard to get off when riding a tiger 1(impossible to stop halfway), so he replied ambiguously: “I, I’m not sure, I just have this feeling.”

Shi Ye was silent for a while, before saying: “Bengong know.”

He knows?

What does he know?

Wen Chi had a suspicion in his mind, he was surprised, happy and incredulous. He didn’t expect Shi Ye to be so gullible, so easily fooled, obviously they only made it halfway that night before Shi Ye was kicked away by him.

Or was it that Shi Ye didn’t know anything about this? Thinking it was possible to get pregnant just because he went in?

Although Wen Chi still had doubts in his heart, he quickly put them to the back of his mind.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he did not forget to leave a way out for himself. He frowned, pursed his lips, pretending to be embarrassed: “After this matter is over, I will find a doctor to take a look. I just want to rest now.”

Shi Ye said, “Okay.”

The joy in Wen Chi’s eyes was almost overflowing, he quickly closed his eyes and said tiredly, “I’m a little tired.”

Shi Ye’s hand lingered on his abdomen for a long time before slowly removing it and then he laid Wen Chi down on the bed, “Rest.”

Wen Chi buried his face in the quilt, wondering if it was because he had lied but he felt his cheeks were very hot, even the breath he exhaled was hot, he suppressed his voice and hummed softly .

After that, Shi Ye got up and walked out.

After a while, Zuo Zhi and a few maidservants came in carrying the wooden bucket for bathing. Those maidservants should also be martial arts practitioners, carrying such a strong wooden bucket, but they didn’t even frown, just like Zuo Zhi.

Wen Chi was still not used to being waited on by others to take a bath and change clothes, so he asked Zuo Zhi and the few maids to go out before taking off their clothes and soaking comfortably in the wooden barrel.

****

The next day.

Wen Chi fell asleep until he woke up naturally and when he opened his eyes, it was already past noon.

Zuo Zhi stood guard outside the door, and when she heard the sound inside, she knocked lightly on the door: “Is Young Master Wen awake?”

Wen Chi was still lying on the bed, rolled over and responded sleepily.

He slept too late yesterday and he didn’t have anything to do today, so he planned to stay in bed for a while.

Who would have thought that Zuo Zhi’s next sentence would be: “There will be guests coming later, Young Master Wen should get up quickly, this servants have already filled the water.”

Hearing the word “guest”, Wen Chi, who was still in a daze, suddenly woke up. He got up from the bed with a grunt, put on a robe casually and walked quickly to open the door.

Zuo Zhi outside the door was indeed holding a water basin and the water inside was still steaming.Wen Chi didn’t know how many times Zuo Zhi went back and forth to change the water while he slept.

Wen Chi felt a little guilty and whispered sorry and quickly turned sideways to let Zuo Zhi bring the water basin in.

“Zuo Zhi, what did you just say about the guests?” Wen Chi had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he tried his best to suppress that premonition.

Zuo Zhi put the water basin on the wooden stand, took out the tools for washing from the cabinet, handed them to Wen Chi and said in a gentle voice: “I’m not sure, Young Master Wen will find out when you go downstairs to have a look.”

Wen Chi took over the washing tools in a daze. Ancient washing tools are different from modern toothbrushes and toothpaste. Ancient washing tools are quite diverse. They either use treated willow branches or green salt with various traditional Chinese herbs……anyway, it is quite troublesome.

When Wen Chi finished washing up, Zuo Zhi went out with a water basin.

Wen Chi dressed absent-mindedly, finished the lunch brought in by the two maids, and then followed Zuo Zhi to go downstairs.

The loft has only four floors and they soon came to the main hall on the first floor.

From the distance, Wen Chi saw a familiar figure sitting on the chair at the lower left of the main seat. That person was holding a teacup in one hand and a tea lid in the other, a pair of half-closed eyes full of heavy thoughts, not taking a sip of tea for a long time.

Hearing the approaching footsteps of Zuo Zhi and Wen Chi, the man raised his eyes and after seeing Wen Chi’s face clearly, a look of embarrassment inevitably flashed in his eyes.

Only the black-clothed man sitting on the main seat propped one cheek with one hand, his eyes swept over Wen Chi casually, seemed to pause for a moment in Wen Chi’s abdomen and then moved away calmly.

Wen Chi secretly clenched his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, bit the bullet and continued to follow Zuo Zhi.

Until Zuo Zhi stopped in front of him.

Zuo Zhi bowed and greeted Shi Ye: “Your Royal Highness, Young Master Wen is here.”

“Hmmm.” Shi Ye replied coldly, “You can leave.”

“Yes.”

After Zuo Zhi walked away, without the cover in front of him, Wen Chi instantly felt himself exposed to Shi Ye’s gaze. His palms were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again and finally the palms were covered with sweat, sticky and greasy.

Shi Ye beckoned to him, “Come here.”

Wen Chi hesitated for a moment but still walked over.

When he was only three steps away from Shi Ye, he stopped cautiously.

Wen Chi quietly raised his eyes to look at Shi Ye and saw that Shi Ye had put on that pure black half-face mask again, covering half of the burn marks on his face, leaving only the other half of his clean and beautiful face, just one look was enough to describe it as peerless.

Shi Ye half-closed his phoenix eyes and looked at Wen Chi, his face was calm, showing no anger or joy.

Wen Chi met those phoenix eyes and was slightly absent-minded. He quickly collected himself and greeted him: “Your Royal Highness.”

Then he turned his head to look at the acquaintance on the left,  the embarrassment on his face no less than that of the man: “Young master Hua, why are you here?”

The bruises at the corners of Hua Zi Zang’s mouth have not faded away and even though he has dressed up, he still looks exhausted. Hearing this, he put down the cup in his hand, tried his best to suppress the embarrassment and said with a smile: “His Royal Highness ordered me to come here to see Young Master Wen.”

“See, see a doctor?” he should have thought how Shi Ye could possibly let him off so easily, he gasped and his voice trembled, “To check on me for what?”

At this moment, Shi Ye said: “Check to see if he is pregnant.” This sentence was said to Hua Zi Zang.
