"Then how do you know the child's father is Black Whirlwind? Did you see him?"

"I've seen a black whirlwind spinning around yarn, but whether it's actually a black whirlwind or not, I'm not sure!"

"We'll know when the kittens are born. If there are patches of black, then it's probably Black Whirlwind's! Look at how none of the village dogs dare mess with Black Whirlwind, it must be pretty high-ranking, right? The mother dog must be... right!"

Zhuang Zhimeng paused here, winking at Jiang Yanxia with a flirtatious look.

Jiang Yanxia didn't expect Zhuang Zhimeng to say that. "Zhimeng, you've gone bad. You're just like Meng-ge'er, saying all sorts of things without any restraint!"

"It's alright! I didn't say anything!"

"Hehe, I'm going to tell Brother An that you've been influenced by Meng Ge'er and he'll keep an eye on you!"

Zhuang Zhimeng reached out and tickled her, "Well, you, Xiazi, dare to betray me? Take this!"

Jiang Yanxia was extremely ticklish, so she quickly begged for mercy: "Haha, I won't say anything more, I won't say anything at all, please let me go, Zhimeng!"

Hearing Jiang Yanxia beg for mercy, Zhuang Zhimeng kindly released her: "You're smart enough to know better. If you dare to betray me again, I won't be so lenient with you!"

Jiang Yanxia smiled and agreed. Taking advantage of Zhuang Zhimeng's inattention, she reached out and retaliated. The two of them laughed and rolled onto the kang (a heated brick bed), tickling each other until they were sweating from laughing.

The next day, Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia took Maoxian to see the village veterinarian, An Guoqing. Based on his experience and after examining Maoxian's condition, An Guoqing concluded that Maoxian was pregnant.

Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia were mentally prepared for this outcome; they had anticipated it and would take extra care of Maoxian!
