Chapter 135.2

Wen Chi wanted to say something but Shi Ye suddenly bent his waist and put his ear on his belly again.

Wen Chi, who was still immersed in the solemn atmosphere just now, almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He patted Shi Ye’s shoulder helplessly: “I said that the child is still young, you can’t hear anything.”

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Shi Ye suddenly raised his head, his stern face was full of joy and he said very carefully: “I think I heard something.”

AFter he finished saying this, Wen Chi’s stomach grumbled again, louder than before.

The joy on Shi Ye’s face froze.

Wen Chi was embarrassed and amused: “Is that the sound you heard?”

Shi Ye: “…”

Wen Chi saw that Shi Ye’s whole body became dispirited at a speed visible to the naked eye. He suppressed a smile and said: “You are also a father after all, can you be more prudent?”

The new father Shi Ye who is yet to be wise and steady let out a long sigh and then went out dejectedly to prepare a meal for Wen Chi.

***

The meals were brought by Ruo Fang and a few servant girls.

They filed in, placed the dishes in their hands on the table in an orderly manner and then retreated with their heads buried in silence.

Usually, it was the unfamiliar maids who acted like this. Wen Chi didn’t expect Ruo Fang, who was closer to him to alienate him like this, so he stopped her just as Ruo Fang was about to leave.

Ruo Fang seemed to be startled by Wen Chi’s voice, although her face was pale, she stood obediently, turned around and greeted Wen Chi, “What are your orders, Young Master?”

“What’s wrong with you?” No matter how dull Wen Chi was, he could see something was wrong with Ruo Fang at this moment, “Are you avoiding me?”

Ruo Fang shook her head like a rattle. She was wearing pearl hairpins on her head and they jingled loudly as she shook her head: “No, the young master misunderstood this servant and this servant is not avoiding the young master.”

Wen Chi didn’t believe it, mainly because Ruo Fang was too obvious, making it difficult for him not to think about it. But since Ruo Fang didn’t want to say it, he couldn’t make things difficult for the other party.

“By the way.” Wen Chi asked again, “Where’s Ruo Tao? Where did that little girl go?”

When Ruo Tao’s name was mentioned, Ruo Fang’s expression became even more rigid. She hesitated to speak and managed to force out a sentence: “I don’t know.”

The more Wen Chi thought about it, the stranger it became: “Aren’t you and Ruo Tao together every day? Why don’t you even know where she went?”

Ruo Fang lowered her head silently.

Wen Chi was a little worried and wanted to ask further questions, but then she saw Shi Ye walk in from outside with the grumbling A’Gu in his arms.

A’Gu was restless in Shi Ye’s arms, struggling desperately to escape with his big fluffy tail waving around. Seeing Wen Chi sitting behind the table, A’Gu suddenly became excited and wanted to run towards Wen Chi with all his strength.

Shi Ye had no choice but to squat down and release A’Gu.

A’Gu who was free, immediately rushed towards Wen Chi on his four legs.

Even though Wen Chi was ready, he was still taken aback by A’Gu. He was worried that A’Gu would accidentally touch his stomach, so he put A Gu on the stool next to him.

A’Gu who left Wen Chi’s embrace, groaned dissatisfied. He shook his head and put his two front paws on Wen Chi’s legs and tried to get into Wen Chi’s embrace again.

But before A’Gu could succeed, Shi Ye came from behind and grabbed the back of his neck.

Despite A’Gu’s usual arrogance and cheerfulness, he was just like Wen Chi in front of Shi Ye. When Shi Ye grabbed him by the back of his neck, his limbs stiffened and he dared not move.

When Shi Ye saw A’Gu like this, he couldn’t help but think of Wen Chi’s cowardice in the past. He wanted to teach A’Gu a lesson but suddenly his heart softened.

Helpless, he just patted A’Gu on the head twice: “Be obedient.”

A’Gu tucked his tail between his legs, turned his head to look but didn’t dare to look at Shi Ye and hummed in grievance.

Wen Chi didn’t expect Shi Ye to subdue the naughty A’Gu so easily. Seeing A’Gu’s pitiful appearance, Wen Chi wanted to reach out and touch his head but he suddenly remembered the attitude of Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang towards A’Gu before and took his hand back embarrassingly.

Shi Ye noticed Wen Chi’s movements and deliberately walked over to pick up A’Gu and handed it to Wen Chi: “Don’t you want to touch him?”

Wen Chi looked at A’Gu’s soft fur and dark eyes. His whole heart almost melted and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying, “Can I touch it?”

Shi Ye smiled and said, “Why not?”

Wen Chi said: “I thought…”

Shi Ye said, “What?”

Wen Chi suddenly realized something and quickly stopped talking. He thought that Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang took away A’Gu under Shi Ye’s instructions after learning that he was pregnant but now he discovered that Shi Ye did not object to him playing with A’Gu.

It seems that before, Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang took A’Gu away on their own initiative.

Although Wen Chi and Ruo Tao had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time, they had known each other for a long time after all. Wen Chi knew that Ruo Tao had no ill intentions towards him and he didn’t want to snitch on them in front of Shi Ye.

He shook his head and patted A’Gu’s head: “It’s nothing.”

Ruo Fang brought a basin of water for them to wash their hands and while they were eating, Ruo Fang stood silently by the side.

From the beginning to the end, Wen Chi didn’t see Ruo Tao’s figure.

After they finished their meal, Ruo Fang and the maid servants who were waiting, hurriedly removed the plates and chopsticks from the table.

***

For the next period of time, Wen Chi was surrounded by only Ruo Fang and the maid servants who were unfamiliar with him. Zuo Zhi, Liu De and Liu Shan would also visit him from time to time but they just stopped by to see him after coming to report important matters to Shi Ye.

Shi Ye was very busy, not only busy dealing with affairs in the palace and the court, but also busy listening to the voices in Wen Chi’s stomach.

Although Wen Chi knew that there was no movement in his belly…
