Chapter 183 Extra: Zhou Yi x Nangong Muyan (VII)

Behind the silkworm breeding house of the manor is the dining hall, a two-story low building.

Zhou Yi led Nangong Muyan in, and a series of greetings immediately rang out in the lobby on the first floor.

"Young Master!", "Young Master!", "Young Master!"...

Zhou Yi had a well-timed smile on his face, nodding to the stewards who were having dinner one by one.

After the greetings, everyone's inquiring eyes fell on Nangong Muyan beside Zhou Yi, with different expressions, but they all had a strong curiosity in their eyes, but no one had the courage to ask.

They all knew that their young master wanted to be the son-in-law of Prime Minister Nangong.

But today, a beautiful lady came to see him. Qu Xiaowu said that the girl started crying as soon as she came, and she was out of breath, which made the young master very anxious.

So a certain speculation spread: the young master has a mistress! Maybe he was afraid of being discovered by Miss Nangong, so he wanted to break up with her, but this mistress came after him eagerly, and he softened his heart again, and estimated that he would use this manor to play the game of hiding a beauty in a golden house in the future.

Seeing Zhou Yi so blatantly bringing people to dinner, these people looked at Nangong Muyan quietly, and thought to themselves: Well, she is really beautiful, no wonder the young master took this risk.

Nangong Muyan always felt that these people looked at her in a strange way, but she couldn't figure out why, so she simply ignored it and followed Zhou Yi up the stairs to the second floor.

"The food here is just simple and plain, not as good as Junyue Wine House. I don't know if you can get used to it--"

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nangong Muyan again: "I'm not picky about food, I'm easy to feed."

This was the second time he heard this sentence. Zhou Yi smiled softly, thinking that the eldest lady's non-picky food was indeed an advantage.

The Qu family was eating on the second floor. When Qu Xiaowu's father Qu Xinggui saw Zhou Yi coming, he immediately got up and walked to the kitchen on the side, shouting to the inside: "The young master is here, bring the food up."

There was a response from inside, and the food was served on the table soon.

Zhou Yi and Nangong Muyan sat at a separate table, close to the window, so they could eat while looking at the scenery outside.

The Qu family sat at another larger round table. He had a wife, two concubines, four sons and two daughters. The whole family was supported by the Zhou family's farm, so they were very respectful to Zhou Yi.

Ever since Zhou Yi came in, the Qu family members have been eating cautiously, trying not to make any noise, not looking around, and showing their full respect to their host.

After the two of them finished their meal and went downstairs, Qu Xiaowu was waiting at the door. When he saw someone coming out, he stepped forward and lowered his voice and asked, "Young Master, do you need to arrange a room for this girl?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yi was puzzled. Why did he need to ask such a question?

Someone gently pulled his sleeve, Zhou Yi turned his head and saw Nangong Muyan looking at him with her watery eyes. The black and white pupils seemed to be telling a thousand words.

Zhou Yi was stunned. Could it be what he thought?

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Yi said to Qu Xiaowu, then took Nangong Muyan to the side and asked uncertainly: "You... want to stay in the same room with me?"

Nangong Muyan nodded.

Zhou Yi sighed heavily in his heart.

In his life of more than 20 years, this was the first time someone wanted to get close to him so recklessly. Zhou Yi couldn't tell what he felt for a moment.

He wanted to say something about "reputation", "innocence", "etiquette" and the like, trying to persuade Nangong Muyan to give up this idea, but his intuition told him that it was useless to say these things, this person would not listen at all.

The two looked at each other silently, and the struggle in Zhou Yi's eyes was clear. Finally, after a moment, he exhaled and made up his mind: "Okay then."

He had already promised that she could hug him and kiss him as she pleased, and it didn't seem to matter if he gave up a little bottom line.

Nangong Muyan was still thinking about talking, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to agree so readily, which was quite unexpected.

The sky became darker as time passed, and looking from the window at the mulberry trees on the mountain, only shadowy shadows could be seen.

After washing up, Nangong Muyan looked at Zhou Yi, who was looking out the window without moving, and raised the corners of her lips silently.

"Zhou Yi."

A soft call sounded behind him. Zhou Yi turned around and found Nangong Muyan standing by the bed. The hairpin and pearl flowers on her head had been taken off. Her black hair was scattered on her shoulders. She had taken off her outer clothes and was only wearing an inner garment. Half of her delicate collarbone could be seen under her fair neck.

Under the dim candlelight, Nangong Muyan looked at him with a smile, her eyes were tender and her gaze was focused with a hint of obsession. "Aren't you going to bed

yet? I'm sleepy."

Nangong Muyan said, raising her hand to cover her lips and yawning. The bracelet on her wrist swayed, reflecting the dim candlelight that made Zhou Yi's eyes sparkle. "I'll close the window and come." Zhou Yi turned his back and took a deep breath of the cool air outside the room. The restlessness in his heart was barely calmed down. Nangong Muyan saw his movements, and seeing that he had no intention of jumping out of the window to escape, she climbed onto the bed happily. Sleeping on the same bed, so exciting! Nangong Muyan lay on the bed and watched Zhou Yi take off his coat, blow out the light, and walk towards him step by step. The corners of his mouth were raised and he couldn't suppress it. Zhou Yi lay stiffly on the bed and slept on the outermost edge of the bed, without even a quilt to cover him. Looking at the man who was standing straight like a log, Nangong Muyan burst out laughing: "Zhou Yi, you can sleep a little closer, I'm afraid you'll fall down if you turn over." Zhou Yi replied dryly, "Oh," and moved a little closer. "A little closer ." "Oh. " "A little closer." "Oh." ... Nangong Muyan gave an order, Zhou Yi took action, and after a lot of trouble, he finally got the man to sleep on the bed from the edge of the bed, although there was still an arm's length between the two of them. A warm body pressed against Zhou Yi, and at the same time a soft quilt was draped over him, followed by a soothing whisper in his ear: "Don't be afraid, I won't do that to you." Nangong Muyan was still a little wary, as she was worried that the sexual pleasure they had that time would become a psychological shadow for Zhou Yi.

Although Zhou Yi accommodated her now because she was pregnant, she was afraid that Zhou Yi would resist her closeness in his heart.

"I'm not afraid," Zhou Yi tried to relax, but his throat was still a little tight, and he explained seriously, "I'm just not used to it. I'm used to sleeping alone."

"Aren't you afraid?"

One hand moved tentatively to the collar, and the slender fingers just touched the skin under the underwear when they were held down by the other hand.

"Don't make trouble, you're still pregnant," Zhou Yi's somewhat annoyed voice rang out in the darkness: "Afterwards...it's up to you!"

Nangong Muyan was shaking with laughter. Zhou Yi was close to her and could feel her body trembling. The unusually soft touch came through two layers of thin fabric. When he realized what it was, he felt like he was suddenly thrown into a fire and burned in an instant.

"Nangong Muyan, stop shaking!" The gritting voice was mixed with a bit of hoarseness. After all, Zhou Yi was a normal man and could not withstand such a test.

Nangong Muyan listened to Zhou Yi's suddenly heavier breathing and tactfully stepped back a little.

Night is different from daytime, and you really have to be careful.

Zhou Yi closed his eyes and tried his best to get rid of all the distracting thoughts. It took him a long time to recover.

He just opened his eyes and was about to persuade the people next to him to go to sleep when he heard Nangong Muyan's voice again, full of expectation.

"Zhou Yi, do you want to touch our child?"

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Child?"

Nangong Muyan said "hmm", grabbed his hand directly, lifted her underwear, and pressed his hand on her belly.

The delicate skin was like smooth satin. Zhou Yi subconsciously wanted to retract his hand as soon as he touched it, but he heard a smiling voice next to him: "I just found out yesterday that my belly is a little bulging."

Zhou Yi paused in retracting his hand, hesitated for a moment, and still touched it carefully.

Soft, flat, tight, like solidified fat...

Zhou Yi touched for a long time, but he didn't feel the baby out, and his breathing got messed up again.

"Are you lying to me?" Zhou Yi realized it belatedly. "

Really not!" Nangong Muyan felt a little wronged: "I can feel it myself, it's a little bigger than before."

Zhou Yi touched it twice more, but still didn't feel anything out.

He turned sideways, and his other hand followed up, but still didn't feel anything out.

"I remember that pregnancy usually takes three to four months to show, and calculating the time, it seems that you have been pregnant for less than three months?" Zhou Yi thought of the time when Zhang Shun's wife was pregnant.

Nangong Muyan quickly went over the date in her mind and replied, "Including today, our child should be 82 days old."

"Almost three months..."

Zhou Yi sighed. In another six months, the child will be born. It will grow up from a small ball, from a babbling baby to a crying and laughing baby, calling him daddy in a baby voice...

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi's heart suddenly jumped up quickly, and a kind of excited emotion surged from his chest along his limbs. His hand that was resting on Nangong Muyan's belly moved again, and he touched it again with great care.

Maybe it was a psychological effect, this time he seemed to really feel what Nangong Muyan said, "a little bulging."

This is his child!

"Nangong Muyan," Zhou Yi called her, his tone quite serious: "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was lying on his side and letting him touch her belly grabbed his hand, moved it from her abdomen to her waist, and then squeezed into his arms.

"If you want to thank me, don't call me by my full name, it's so stiff."

A complaining voice sounded low, Zhou Yi pulled down Nangong Muyan's opened underwear, covered her exposed waist and abdomen, and hugged her again.

"Then, then should I call you, Muyan? Or do you want me to call you Yan'er like your family?"

Zhou Yi knew in his heart what the change of address meant.

"Call me Mu Yan!"

Nangong Muyan responded happily, hugging Zhou Yi's waist and rubbing his chest affectionately with her cheek: "Zhou Yi, how do you want me to call you? Ah Yi, or... Brother Yi?"

Zhou Yi's breathing was disordered by the sticky voice of "Brother Yi", and his ears were hot again. He heard himself stammering: "No, no, just, just call me Zhou Yi."

A hand was pressed on his neck, and a moment later, Nangong Muyan's smiling voice rang in his ears: "Zhou Yi, you are confused."

Her heart rate was up to 120, it seemed that Zhou Yi was not completely indifferent to her.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yi had no problem admitting: "Which man can remain calm when holding a soft and beautiful girl in his arms, except for monks and eunuchs?"

The "beautiful girl" giggled when she heard this, and her delicate body trembled slightly, which made Zhou Yi absent-minded again. He quickly held her tightly in his arms and advised her kindly: "Mu Yan, don't move around, don't move around, let's sleep, don't move, don't move..."

Nangong Mu Yan was obedient and quiet for a while, and waited until Zhou Yi's breath was calmer before she confided her true feelings.

"Zhou Yi, I love you."

Zhou Yi's breathing stagnated, and the hand on her waist suddenly increased a little.

Nangong Muyan waited for a long time, and finally heard a sentence: "I know, I know."

She closed her eyes contentedly and fell asleep in the warm embrace, but she didn't know that Zhou Yi's heart was beating like a pounding, and he was both awake and flustered. It was not until the middle of the night that he could barely fall asleep.

The next morning, Nangong Muyan was still asleep, and Zhou Yi had already woken up. After getting up quietly, he simply tidied himself up, went out and went to Li Jiu's room.

"Aunt?" Li Jiu looked at Zhou Yi standing at the door with sleepy eyes, a little confused.

"I have a question for you."

"Aunt, please ask."

Li Jiu looked at Zhou Yi who was a little serious, and thought anxiously in her heart, could it be that the young lady's pretending to be pitiful was exposed?

"How long does it usually take for a woman to become pregnant?" Zhou Yi thought of this question when she couldn't sleep last night.

"There is no fixed number for this. It varies from person to person. Generally speaking, pregnancy will become apparent in March or April, but some people may become pregnant earlier or later due to their own reasons."

After Li Jiu explained in detail, he looked at Zhou Yi curiously: "Auntie, why are you asking this?"

Zhou Yi's heart had been mostly relieved, and he smiled and replied, "Your young lady said her belly is swelling. I was worried about something, so I came to ask."

"It's swelling?"

Li Jiu was incredulous. It seemed that it was less than three months?

He then thought, could it be that the young lady lied to Zhou Yi for his sympathy?

But what if it was true?

This was unreasonable. Li Jiu was a little anxious. He promised his wife to take good care of Nangong Muyan.

Li Jiu stepped out of the door: "Auntie, let's go, I'll go and check the young lady's pulse."

Zhou Yi nodded, and he felt more at ease after taking a look.

Nangong Muyan woke up when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Zhou Yi walked to the bedside, saw that she had blinked, and helped her up: "Come on, put on your clothes, Li Jiu is outside the door, let him check your pulse."

Nangong Muyan asked as she dressed: "Did you go to find Li Jiu?"

"Yes."

"Why did you go to find him?"

"You showed up earlier than others, I was worried, so I went to ask."

"Oh, okay."

Li Jiu waited outside the door for a while, and went in when he heard Zhou Yi calling him.

Nangong Muyan sat at the table, and had already lifted up her sleeves to expose her wrists. He called her "Miss" and put his fingers on the pulse.

Unlike the pretense he made yesterday to fool Zhou Yi, this time Li Jiu concentrated his energy and felt the pulse carefully, with a serious look on his face.

Seeing that he had been touching for a long time and had not withdrawn his hand, Zhou Yi's heart began to rise, and his worry was obvious on his face.

Li Jiu touched it repeatedly for several times, and finally confirmed it. He withdrew his hand, a smile spread across his face, and bowed to the two of them and congratulated them: "Congratulations, Miss and Aunt, these are twins."

"Twins?"

Zhou Yi was surprised and happy, and unconsciously looked at Nangong Muyan's belly. Are there two children?

"Yes, it's twins, so the young lady is pregnant earlier than others, but Aunt, don't worry, the young lady and the children are all fine." After

Li Jiu finished speaking, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this young lady would have some problems.

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Yi nodded hurriedly, untied the purse from his waist, grabbed a few pieces of silver and stuffed them into Li Jiu's hand: "Please go to the canteen to bring the food, and use this little money to drink."

Li Jiu was overjoyed. The couple was more generous than the other. This trip was really worth it!

After Li Jiu left, Nangong Muyan just stood up and was hugged tightly by Zhou Yi: "Muyan, it's two children..."
