The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 587 - 551: Preparing for Pregnancy

Jingyu Garden

Qiao Yuxian took a bath for over an hour.

After finishing, she walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

She thought Mr. Gu had forgotten about what happened earlier.

As soon as the bathroom door opened, she saw Mr. Gu standing at the door, waiting for her.

Qiao Yuxian was so startled she shivered and quickly tried to retreat back to the bathroom.

But Mr. Gu caught her.

After being caught, she still tried to struggle back into the bathroom.

Mr. Gu effortlessly picked her up with one hand and threw her onto the bed.

After being thrown on the bed, Qiao Yuxian bounced a little, "Ouch."

Mr. Gu stood by the bed, looking down at her.

Qiao Yuxian rubbed her backside, which didn’t actually hurt, and looked at him, "Mr. Gu, why are you so vengeful, it’s been over an hour."

"Yes." Mr. Gu said, "I’ve been waiting for over an hour."

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

What does that mean?

Why does he sound a bit aggrieved?

"I....." Qiao Yuxian had just said one word when Mr. Gu suddenly leaned over and grabbed her arm.

Qiao Yuxian instinctively struggled a bit.

But Mr. Gu didn’t let go, frowning as he asked, "What happened here?"

Qiao Yuxian followed his gaze to her arm.

Where blood was drawn on her arm, perhaps she didn’t press it properly, was bruised.

Very obvious.

Mr. Gu held her arm, carefully looking at the bruise which had a needle mark on it: "Blood drawn?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and then pulled her arm away, trying to get up and run.

But the bed was a bit soft; she couldn’t muster enough force to stand, so she crawled a little distance before Mr. Gu pulled her ankle back.

"Ah—" Qiao Yuxian let out a small cry.

As soon as she shouted, Qiao Yuxian turned around and fought back.

Mr. Gu released her ankle, and raised his hand to block her punch.

Taking advantage of him blocking, Qiao Yuxian kicked him again.

Mr. Gu took a step back and as he reached to grab her ankle again, Qiao Yuxian evaded, stood up, and grasped his hand, pulling him onto the bed too.

Mr. Gu supported himself with one hand on the bed, using the other to press Qiao Yuxian down.

For once, Qiao Yuxian didn’t dodge, allowing him to press her shoulder.

But as she frowned, Mr. Gu immediately released some of the pressure.

Qiao Yuxian slightly curled her lips, suddenly using force to push Mr. Gu down onto the bed. She straddled his waist, made a gun gesture with her right hand, and aimed at his chest.

"Bang—" Qiao Yuxian provided her own sound effect.

Mr. Gu lay on the bed, looking at her mischievous eyes and smiled.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Mr. Gu, having a soft heart won’t win a fight."

Mr. Gu looked at her without responding to her words, instead asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"

His voice was very serious.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused, and said, "No."

"What about the test results?" Mr. Gu asked.

Qiao Yuxian pressed her lips together.

Mr. Gu looked at her.

A few seconds passed, Qiao Yuxian’s hand traced over his abs and she said, "Hubby, you’re a bit intense."

Mr. Gu’s eyelashes gently trembled.

He sat up straight.

As Mr. Gu sat up, Qiao Yuxian slid down a bit.

Mr. Gu wrapped an arm around her waist, keeping her on his lap, and touched her face, "How were the test results?"

"It’s fine." Qiao Yuxian fiddled with the buttons on his collar, "All indicators were normal."

Mr. Gu asked again, "Any discomfort?"

"No." Qiao Yuxian said, "I just had a checkup to prepare for pregnancy."

Mr. Gu was visibly taken aback.

Qiao Yuxian took his hand, placing it on her lower belly, "Preparing for the baby."

Mr. Gu looked at her; after a short silence, his gaze traveled down to her lower belly.

Qiao Yuxian could feel his hand was stiff. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

His whole body seemed a bit frozen.

But after a while, Qiao Yuxian saw Mr. Gu, still with his hand on her lower belly, the position unchanged, asking again, "Anywhere uncomfortable?"

Qiao Yuxian was watching his rigid response when he suddenly asked this, sending a jolt through her spirit.

She remained silent.

Mr. Gu lifted his eyes towards her.

The look was not cold and harsh, but still oppressive.

Qiao Yuxian pressed her lips together and softly said, "It’s just...my eyes were a bit uncomfortable. I checked them. The doctor said it’s nothing serious and prescribed some medication."

Mr. Gu looked at her eyes, seemingly trying to examine them with his naked eyes.

Qiao Yuxian blinked twice, slid off him, and fetched the medication prescribed by the doctor today.

Then, she sat back on Mr. Gu’s lap, "See? Just some common drugs. The doctor said, take some and I’ll be better."

Mr. Gu looked through the medication.

After he finished, Qiao Yuxian asked, "Don’t you trust me?"

"I do." Mr. Gu placed the medication aside, "If it was serious, you wouldn’t tell me. Like last time with your injury, you’d run first."

Qiao Yuxian laughed, "I’ve grown up, I won’t run anymore."

"Your growth is measured by the day." Mr. Gu patted her head.

"Exactly." Qiao Yuxian kissed his lips, "Nurtured by love, I grow every day."

Mr. Gu smiled a bit.

Qiao Yuxian buried her face in the crook of his neck and rubbed, "Hubby, let’s sleep. I’m a little tired."

"Alright." Mr. Gu kissed her ear, "You go ahead and sleep, I’ll freshen up."

"Okay."

...

Even though Mr. Gu believed what Qiao Yuxian said, the next morning after breakfast, he still took her to the hospital.

Underwent another checkup.

Qiao Yuxian got a needle in her other arm.

This time Mr. Gu pressed the spot for her.

No bruise.

Qiao Yuxian’s wish for symmetry didn’t come true.

This time the results were similar to those from the Sixth Hospital.

The doctors’ words were almost identical too.

Even the prescribed medication was the same.

However, Qiao Yuxian didn’t tell the doctor she went blind.

Just mentioned her eyes were uncomfortable.

Coming out of the ophthalmology department, Qiao Yuxian said, "See, I told you it’s nothing. Yet you weren’t reassured."

"In Jin City that day, was it because your eyes were uncomfortable that you missed the shot?" Mr. Gu asked.

Qiao Yuxian was startled, looking at Mr. Gu, "You really are..."

too frightening.

A person like Mr. Gu can’t be let in on even a small detail.

Once he knows a little, he can figure out a lot.

"Don’t hide things like this from me in the future." Mr. Gu said.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t say a word.

Mr. Gu pinched her chin, "Did you hear me?"

Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Yuxian said, "Can I say no?"

"You can try." Mr. Gu replied.

Qiao Yuxian felt as if her life and freedom were being threatened, she said, "I heard you."

Though he received a definite answer, Mr. Gu was still not entirely assured.

After all, if this little girl wanted to argue, she’d have a million reasons...
