Chapter 419 A Little Life at Home
The two chatted about some topics related to pregnancy preparation, but it was meaningless.
They won't feel any discomfort in their bodies, and childbirth won't be dangerous... they won't even gain weight.
But Xia Wanqing used this as an excuse to eat a lot more delicious food.
"...Although I don't feel uncomfortable, my appetite has improved." Xia Wanqing said.
"Have you told your Chen Zhaozhi about your pregnancy?" Xu Chuchu suddenly asked.
"Of course, I told him right away." Xia Wanqing's mouth was full.
"How did he react?"
"Because I'm happy, I picked him up and spun around. What other reaction could I have?" Xia Wanqing said it indifferently, with a smile in her eyes.
"Just wait and see, your Xiao Yu's reaction will probably be even greater," she added.
…
Xu Chuchu left the Shen Mansion, declined Xia Wanqing's carriage offer, and walked towards the villa alone.
She could guess without even thinking how Xiao Yu would react.
He was usually aloof to others, and seldom showed joy or sorrow even to her, so this time he was able to get excited.
Thinking about that scene, Xu Chuchu suddenly became expectant.
She pushed open the door and saw Xiao Yu standing in the courtyard with his back to her from afar.
Is he waiting for her?
Just as Xu Chuchu was about to speak, Xiao Yu suddenly turned around and said, "Close the door! Quick!"
This startled her greatly. Still wondering what had happened, she instinctively turned around and closed the door.
But it seemed too late, a white mass rushed past her legs and ran out the door.
Xiao Yu pounced on her, but ran around her and out the door, grabbing the white thing back.
"Rabbit, rabbit?" Xu Chuchu rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was really a furry and cute little white rabbit.
"Did you buy this to eat?" she asked in confusion. Since when did Xiao Yu become involved in the cooking? Could this be some kind of delicious rabbit?
"Eat?" Xiao Yu looked at her in disbelief, a rare sight for her. "Don't you think these rabbits are cute?"
Xu Chuchu was very afraid that Xiao Yu’s next sentence would be “Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them”, so she hurriedly said “cute”.
It was then that she discovered that there were not only a few rabbits in the front yard, but also cats and dogs, all kept in open wooden boxes.
While Xiao Yu was catching the rabbit, two more cats successfully escaped from prison and ran to the tree nearby.
How can a box trap a cat?
Xiao Yu quickly put the rabbit back and went to catch the cat, busy as a whirlwind.
"No, I mean..." Xu Chuchu said slowly, "How long have you been tossing and turning like this?"
"Not long." Xiao Yu felt relieved after hearing Xu Chuchu's "concern". "The servant went to buy a cage and will be back soon."
Xu Chuchu silently helped him catch a yellow-haired puppy: "So, you plan to open a zoo?"
"Zoo?" Xiao Yu had never heard of this term, but she roughly understood the meaning. "Chu Chu, I bought this for you to raise."
"Me?" Xu Chuchu felt dizzy. "Why do you think I can raise an animal?"
She counted and found there were three dogs, a cat, and four little rabbits... No, there was also a cat in Xiao Yu's arms.
"Don't you like small animals?" Xiao Yu's speech slowed down.
Xu Chuchu said innocently: "I like it, but I'm too lazy to raise it."
Xiao Yu sniffed lightly, put the cat in his arms back into the box, found a piece of wood to put on top, leaving a small space for them to breathe.
"Chuchu, you don't need to take care of these animals. We have servants in the mansion." He walked to Xu Chuchu's side. "I just think that you are used to being busy and not used to being idle. I am not at home occasionally, so it would be better for you to have them accompany you."
Xu Chuchu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "What if I'm not free anymore?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Is something happening again?
"What if..." Xu Chuchu's face was expressionless, but a smile was hidden in her eyes. "What if there is another little life in the family?"
Xiao Yu's expression froze.
This is an expression that is a bit of worry, a bit of surprise, and a bit of joy.
If there was a camera, Xu Chuchu would definitely take a picture and then laugh at him for twenty years.
Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva: "You mean, you also have a small animal?"
Xu Chuchu: “…”
"Yes." She simply followed Xiao Yu's lead and saw his bright eyes dim. "I went to Xia Wanqing's house and saw she had one, so I got one too."
Xiao Yu's eyes slowly lit up again.
"Chu Chu?" He was tough for once. "Don't play tricks on me. Tell the truth."
"I won't explain." Xu Chuchu stepped back with a smile, "You guess for yourself."
Before he could take two steps back, he fell into Xiao Yu's arms, and then he picked him up like a child.
"Are you going to confess or not?" Xiao Yu threatened deliberately, "If you don't, the servants will come over and look at you."
"If we're going to embarrass ourselves, let's do it together!" Xu Chuchu was dissatisfied.
"I'm not afraid of losing face." Xiao Yu was fearless.
“Xiao Yu——!”
"Um?"
Xu Chuchu gave up resistance: "Okay, I admit it."
She grabbed Xiao Yu's free hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"Yes, Ayu, we have a child."
…
After a long time, Xiao Yu took a deep breath.
"Really, Chuchu?" He tried to make his voice calmer, but failed.
Xu Chuchu took the opportunity to pinch his face: "Why is your reaction bigger than mine?"
Xiao Yu slowly put her down, being careful not to touch her belly, and then hugged her in this strange position, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm very happy, Chuchu. Really!" He buried his head in her hair, "There's a new layer of support between us."
Not only do we have offspring, but we also have the fruit of our love and a rich and happy family.
The two of them leaned against each other for a long time. The servants bought the cage, put it gently aside, and then left quietly.
They have become accustomed to the two masters showing affection anytime and anywhere.
"Oh no!" Xiao Yu looked up suddenly. "Is it true that I can't keep small animals while pregnant? I need to send these away immediately!"
"Hey hey hey!" Xu Chuchu hurriedly stopped him, "We've already brought him back, how can we send him away? That's a crime!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, "Of course they're not lost. We'll find a good home for them."
"That won't work either." Xu Chuchu said arrogantly, "Once you come to our house, you are our family. You are not allowed to send you away."
"Besides, as long as they're well cared for, there's no such thing as pregnant women being unable to keep animals... let alone me."
Nowadays, it’s okay to drink a bottle of Hedinghong, let alone cats and dogs.
Without calling the servant, the two men put the cats, dogs and rabbits into cages and prepared to find a suitable place behind the courtyard to let them roam free.
Feeding the cats, dogs and rabbits became Xu Chuchu's favorite things every day, while other things, such as shoveling poop and bathing, became Xiao Yu's job.
We agreed to feed the baby, so we can’t let others interfere.
