Chapter 283 A Little Expectation

Lang Ce, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything, completely ignoring Xia Yueke's angry glare. With an arrogant and perverted smile on his face, he continued:

"Cub, don't run around like your mother from now on. If you behave, your father will give you the entire Wandering Wolf Beast power~"

Xia Yuke now completely understood. This was Lang Ce's plan. He wanted to incite her cub to rebel. This was really too much!

Lang Ce had a smug look on his face, completely ignoring Xia Yueke's angry eyes. He cleared his throat and prepared to sing a lullaby.

He strained his tone-deaf voice and hummed a tune that he had heard from somewhere. The sound was like the creaking of an old bellows, and it was as unpleasant as it could be.

"Cub, go to sleep now. When you fall asleep, your mother's time at night will belong to me. Don't let your mother get sleepy then."

While singing, Lang Ce gently patted Xia Yueke's belly with his hand, a smile on his face, and his eyes drifted towards Xia Yueke from time to time, full of possessiveness that he could not hide.

Xia Yuke was both angry and embarrassed. She pretended to be angry and reached out to push Lang Ce. Lang Ce took the opportunity to hold her hand and pulled her gently. Xia Yuke fell into his arms without any defense.

Lang Ce hugged her tightly, rested his chin lightly on her head, and whispered in her ear:

"Little fox, just stay here and be good. From now on, you and your cub will only be mine."

Xia Yueke struggled for a few times and said coquettishly, "Let me go. You sing so badly and you still dare to embarrass yourself."

Lang Ce, however, refused to give in. He tightened his grip on his arm and chuckled softly, "I won't let go. It's rare that you're willing to talk to me for a few more words."

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside, as if the stray animals were quarreling.

Lang Ce frowned, and reluctantly let go of Xia Yueke, ready to go out and take a look. Before leaving, he looked at Xia Yueke and said:

"Be good and wait for me to come back, don't run around."

Xia Yueke sat there, recalling what had just happened. She stroked her belly, feeling mixed emotions. She felt helpless about Lang Ce's actions, and was a little at a loss.

After a while, Lang Ce hurried back, his face looking a bit tired. It turned out that two stray beasts had clashed over the supplies left by the rabbit tribe.

After Lang Ce finished his work, he returned to the house and saw Xia Yueke standing by the window in a daze.

He took a few steps forward and gently hugged her from behind. He leaned down slightly, his warm breath brushed Xia Yueke's ears, and he whispered softly:

"Little fox, what are you thinking about? Tell me and let me guess."

After a pause, his tone was tinged with a hint of uncontrollable excitement. "I'm really looking forward to the birth of this cub, but what should I do? I don't know what kind of magic the little fox has used to make me look forward to the cub in my belly even more and more!"

Xia Yueke's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. There was a hint of cunning and a bit of tenderness in that smile.

She thought silently in her heart that she didn't use any magic, but the more she gave to the cub, the greater her expectations naturally became.

Thinking back on this period of time, Xia Yueke felt complicated emotions in her heart as Lang Ce changed from being rude at first to now caring about her and the baby in her belly.

She tilted her head slightly, glanced at Lang Ce, and secretly made a decision in her heart: Lang Ce must be included in prenatal education in the future.

She wanted Lang Ce to have extremely high expectations for this little life before the cub was born, so that after the cub was born, Lang Ce would not be willing to hurt it.

Thinking of this, Xia Yueke gently patted Lang Ce's hand around her waist, turned around, looked into his eyes seriously and said:

"Since you are so looking forward to it, you have to accompany me during prenatal education in the future."

Lang Ce was stunned at first, then he laughed and nodded: "Okay, as long as it's what you say, I agree."

Since then, Xia Yueke has been determined to let Langce participate deeply in every prenatal education session.

Whether it was humming a lullaby, telling a story gently, or softly stroking her belly, she insisted on pulling Lang Ce along.

At first, Lang Ce was a little uncomfortable, but as the days passed, he gradually immersed himself in it.

Every day, Lang Ce couldn't help but touch Xia Yueke's belly many times. Finally, on an ordinary afternoon, a wonderful thing happened.

Lang Ce was originally stroking Xia Yueke's belly nonchalantly, when suddenly, he felt a slight touch under his hand.

His movements froze for a moment, and a barely perceptible surprise flashed across his deep eyes. Then, a playful smile crept up the corners of his mouth.

"Little fox, this little thing is moving."

Lang Ce spoke, his tone deliberately calm, yet he couldn't hide the hint of interest in it, "It's quite interesting."

His wolf tail swung slowly, seemingly nonchalantly, but his slightly erected wolf ears revealed his inner concern.

Xia Yueke couldn't help but smile when she saw Lang Ce's appearance, her eyes full of laughter:

"It seems like the kid really likes you and has started to respond to you!"

The corners of Lang Ce's mouth curled up, revealing a somewhat evil smile, and his two pointed wolf fangs flashed coldly in the sunlight:

"Huh, you like me already? We'll have fun in the future."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Xia Yueke's belly again, as if expecting the next response from the little life.

A few days later, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, lazily spilling onto the windowsill of the cabin. As usual, Lang Ce casually placed his hand on Xia Yueke's belly, but after a moment, he suddenly stopped.

"Hey, why is this little thing so motionless today?"

Lang Ce frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone, but he tried his best to appear nonchalant.

Xia Yueke's heart skipped a beat, and worry flashed across her face. She subconsciously covered Lang Ce's hand with hers, her voice trembling slightly:

"Could something have happened..."

Lang Ce nodded coldly, raised his chin slightly, and pretended to be calm:

"I've been paying attention to its activities these past few days, but it's been too quiet today, which is a bit unusual."

He spoke calmly, but his eyes were always fixed on Xia Yueke's belly, and his slightly clenched fingers revealed his inner concern.

Lang Ce was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the door. He lowered his voice deliberately and said in a nonchalant manner:

"I'll call a witch doctor to take a look. Don't scare yourself."

He walked hurriedly, but kept his back straight, trying to hide his inner anxiety.

Soon, Lang Ce returned with the witch doctor. While the witch doctor carefully examined Xia Yueke, Lang Ce stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes never leaving the witch doctor's movements. His seemingly calm face had a slightly tense jaw.

Finally, the witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's nothing serious. Maybe the fetus is tired today and needs to rest longer."
