Chapter 1040: Chapter 1018: The Big Bad Wolf Wants to Eat the Little White Rabbit!

Ever since she came to A Country, she kept worrying about her good sister, afraid that Liang Anya might be bullied.

He didn’t want her thinking about all sorts of nonsense just before giving birth.

"I hope it’s just a minor issue." She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Indeed.

Emotions, like drinking water, are a personal experience; you can’t really help someone else with them.

Sometimes, helping might actually make things worse.

What if Anya still has some hope for Si Yuheng and there’s still a chance for them to develop?

Jiayi shook Huo Zhenyang’s neck playfully: "You’re such a sly old wolf! You can see through everyone’s thoughts."

Yet every time this old wolf spoke, her heavy burden was lightened, and she felt less worried.

"Sly old wolf?" He raised his stern, handsome eyes in displeasure, "Sly, yes, but old? How am I old?"

He split "sly, old, wolf" with an intriguing hint.

Sly and wolf were fine, but old...?

She blushed, thick-skinned!

She hummed, extending her delicate nails to poke his muscles: "Old here, here, and here..."

He was half-annoyed by her, wrapping her pregnant belly lightly.

"The big bad wolf is going to eat the little white rabbit! Help!" She clutched her belly.

He was amused but worried that this playful girl would forget she was about to give birth. He gently rubbed her hair, and his voice was teasing yet stern:

"Chu Jiayi, you know you’re too lively for a pregnant woman, don’t you? Sleep."

"You go shower. I’ll sleep later." She knelt on the soft bed, shook his neck again.

"Did you forget what the doctor advised this morning? If you don’t want to stay in the hospital early, then no fooling around at home. Sleep is important, especially in your condition."

Upon finding out she was carrying twins, he was delighted at first, but as the due date approached, an inexplicable panic set in.

After all, the risks with twins are twice that of a single child.

Despite modern medicine making childbirth relatively safe, and though she had given birth before, to him, any risk was unacceptable.

She noticed his tension and teased inwardly that he was turning into a butler but sweetly snuggled into his neck, "I know. I’m not going to stay up, just half an hour more. You go shower, I’ll sleep when you’re out, otherwise, I can’t fall asleep alone..."

She knew only by saying this he would agree.

Sure enough, his stern expression softened a lot, and with a slight squint of his eyes, he went into the bathroom.

...

Half an hour later, Huo Zhenyang emerged from the bathroom and saw her video chatting with Little Baozi back home on the iPad.

Refusing to sleep, turns out she was waiting to video call Zaizai. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Don’t call me. You’ve lost this baby! I’m breaking off our relationship; I’m going to live with Grandpa and Grandma!"

On the other end of the video was Little Baozi’s sulking voice.

Beside him came Auntie Li’s laughing voice: "He announces breaking off the relationship every day."

Zaizai was still sulking because they didn’t take him to A Country.

Actually, Jiayi originally wanted to take Zaizai with them.

This time, she was going abroad to give birth, and it would take at least a month before they could return.

A month without seeing Zaizai. She missed him terribly.

But Huo Zhenyang had arranged for Zaizai matters regarding starting elementary school, preparing for school in two months, and had arranged for him to prepare at home during this time, possibly flying over just before school started.

Zaizai lamented day and night trying to act cute to win support, but he couldn’t win against an autocratic father whose word was law.

Just as they boarded the plane two days ago, Auntie Li called, saying the young master was sulking at home because they left him behind, and was threatening a hunger strike.

Just as Jiayi was feeling distressed, Huo Zhenyang coldly tossed back a response: "Hunger strike? Good, growing like a meatball; cutting weight would do some good!"

Zaizai instantly wilted.

At this moment, facing the sulking Little Baozi on the video, Jiayi intentionally said, "Really breaking up? Your Daddy just bought a few new toy models at the biggest department store here that haven’t even launched back home. Are you sure you want to break the relationship?"

Zaizai’s face hesitated a bit but still held onto his principles: "So what! I’ll have Grandpa buy them for me!"

"The X series, you know."

X series?

Zaizai froze, counting on his fingers; the latest back home only went up to the V series!

X... that must be much higher up!

His classmates would surely idolize him?

"So, have you thought it over? If we break up, we won’t bring them back."

After some serious pondering, Zaizai frowned: "Seeing how sincere you guys are, I’ll not break off our relationship for now."

Just then, they vaguely saw a glimpse of Daddy coming into the video, Little Baozi hastily said, "Baby is going to sleep now, bye!"

Every time he video-chatted with Mommy, Daddy would ask if he had done his homework or practiced his test papers, and if he attended the pre-school courses on time...

Heavens, totally a buzzkill!

With a bang, the video went black.

Huo Zhenyang had just opened his mouth half a crack to inquire about his son’s recent school tasks when the video was cut, his handsome face immediately darkened.

That brat!

He actually cut off the video the moment he saw him; he really needed a spanking!

Jiayi set down the iPad and tugged at his icy stiff face: "Alright. You can’t really blame Zaizai entirely; it’s all because you’re too strict with him. He’s not even six yet, and you already let him start primary school, and arranged all this coursework, it’s no wonder he’s afraid of you."

His gaze stayed steady: "His IQ and learning ability were measured; he can start from the fifth grade or higher. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten into Qixing Kindergarten. Isn’t starting school under six unusual? I started primary school at four. It’s you who spoiled him."

She stuck out her tongue with a "what’s the big deal" look of incorrigible defiance.

His gaze softened as he glanced at her belly: "Luckily, we’ve trained a mini one. The big one is spoiled by you, so we train a mini one. If the mini one fails, we continue training another..."

These two haven’t even arrived yet, and he’s already thinking about "continuing"?

Jiayi bared her teeth but felt her cheeks strangely heat up, quickly pulling up the blanket to cover half her face: "Sleep, sleep..."

He leaned his strong taut upper body down like an eagle to kiss her protruding belly, then like a spark igniting, couldn’t stop and continued trailing kisses upward.

"Hey, hey, ticklish. Ticklish..." She giggled, begging for mercy.

"Then hubby will relieve your itch." His brows and eyes wickedly tightened, clasping her arms together and pinning them against the headboard on the wall.

Her face went bright red: "No, no, hubby. The babies are moving a lot..."

In a few days, she is due to give birth, and he’s still interested; simply inhuman.
