Chapter 199

Lu Weiguo rubbed his chin and asked Shi Tingyu, “Wife, why didn’t I have this kind of popularity back then?”

Shi Tingyu rolled her eyes at him, “What, do you regret it now?”

Lu Weiguo laughed and quickly said he didn’t dare.

Seeing his expression, Shi Tingyu felt an itch in her hand and playfully slapped his butt.

Lu Weiguo’s face turned red.

It was the first time his wife had slapped his butt, and he felt a mix of embarrassment and… pleasure.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Tingyu recalled a joke she’d read online.

They said men liked getting their butts slapped. Maybe there was some truth to it.

Though Lu Weiguo looked fierce, he had a great figure with a slender, strong waist and a firm, perky butt.

Sometimes, looking at her husband, she felt the urge to draw a figure study of him.

Thinking this, her hand moved on its own and she slapped his butt again.

Lu Weiguo’s eyes darkened as he grabbed her waist and lifted her up.

Shi Tingyu instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her and slowly brought his face closer, finally kissing her red lips.

Since his wife got pregnant, he’d been abstinent for a long time.

After feasting on delicacies before, now he could only nibble on appetizers.

Shi Tingyu had no resistance to Lu Weiguo’s touch; a gentle kiss from him made her body go weak.

Holding her, Lu Weiguo squeezed her butt twice.

Shi Tingyu’s eyes widened in surprise.

Though they’d tried many positions in bed, this was the first time they’d grabbed each other’s butts in broad daylight.

With her arms around his neck, her face flushed with desire, she teasingly and curiously asked, “Does it feel good for men to get their butts slapped?”

Even though Lu Weiguo was shameless in bed, he blushed a bit at this.

Seeing the genuine curiosity in her eyes, he awkwardly looked away and mumbled, “Yeah.”

Shi Tingyu laughed into his neck.

Lu Weiguo: …

He told the truth, so why was she laughing?

Shi Tingyu cleared her throat, shaking off her naughty thoughts, and patted his shoulder, her voice trembling, “Alright, put me down. You’re poking me.”

Lu Weiguo gave her a heavy kiss before setting her down.

Who could he blame for his reaction?

Seeing his evident arousal, Shi Tingyu mischievously gave him a rub.

Lu Weiguo hissed, feeling both pleasure and discomfort.

Before he could react, she hurried back to the room.

“I’m going to draw!”

Lu Weiguo took a deep breath and, after a moment, opened the door and asked, “Wife, when can we…?”

Shi Tingyu replied, “I’m pregnant.”

Lu Weiguo raised an eyebrow, “I remember the doctor saying it’s fine after the first trimester, as long as we’re gentle.”

His response was met with a ball of paper thrown at him.

After teasing his wife, Lu Weiguo said, “Wife, I’m going to cook.”

He obediently went to play househusband.

Although Shi Tingyu didn’t have morning sickness, the smell of oil and smoke made her feel queasy sometimes. That’s why Shi Muhuan came over during the day to cook for her.

Shi Muhuan, due to his job, rarely had time to take care of family matters. Since their parents worked and didn’t come home for lunch, he decided to go to the family compound.

This way, he could take care of his sister and have meals with her, killing two birds with one stone.

One day, Shi Muhuan asked about baby clothes.

Shi Tingyu looked confused, “Do we need to prepare so early?”

Shi Muhuan said, “Mom said it’s best to start now. When you’re further along, you won’t have the energy to do it.”

Shi Tingyu thought that made sense. As a first-time mother, she didn’t know these things.

Shi Muhuan pulled out a small notebook.

Shi Tingyu leaned in to look and saw a list of items needed for the baby.

Clothes, soft-soled shoes, socks, diapers, bibs, and more.

“How about we go buy some cotton fabric today?” Shi Muhuan suggested, seeing that she wasn’t prepared.

Shi Tingyu had no objections. It was better to prepare while she was still agile.

“You’ll give birth in the summer. Let’s also get you some comfortable dresses for postpartum.”

Shi Tingyu nodded repeatedly; this was very important.

When planning for a baby, she hadn’t thought about postpartum needs.

The siblings drove to the city’s department store.

As the uncle, Shi Muhuan wasn’t stingy.

He picked the best quality cotton fabrics.

Shi Tingyu chose light-colored fabrics.

They picked out a lot of fabric, which could also be used to make diapers later.

At this moment, Shi Tingyu especially missed disposable diapers from the future.

Originally, Shi Tingyu planned to buy ready-made dresses, but then she realized it was the end of the year and quite cold, so there were no dresses for sale.

After looking around, they decided to wait until it got warmer to look again.

Just as they were about to leave, a familiar female voice called out behind Shi Tingyu, “Sister Shi!”

Shi Tingyu turned around and saw Chen Wenting running excitedly towards her.

Shi Muhuan quickly stepped in front of Shi Tingyu, afraid that Chen Wenting might accidentally bump into his sister.

Chen Wenting instinctively stopped short, and when she saw Shi Muhuan’s face clearly, her eyes lit up.

“Who are you? Sister Shi’s friend?”

Shi Muhuan turned to Shi Tingyu with a puzzled look.

Given the current state of the country, a man and a woman shopping together were either spouses or relatives. What was this girl thinking?

Shi Tingyu felt a headache coming on.

Chen Wenting had just returned from abroad and probably hadn’t adjusted yet.

Shi Tingyu said, “This is my brother.”

Chen Wenting’s eyes sparkled even more.

“So you’re Brother Shi. Hello, my name is Chen Wenting.”

Shi Muhuan politely shook her hand and quickly let go.

At this point, Chen Wenting realized that this Brother Shi seemed a bit cold towards her.

She turned to Shi Tingyu, “Sister Shi, are you here to buy clothes? Want to look around together?”

Shi Tingyu pointed to the items in Shi Muhuan’s hands, “We’ve finished shopping and are about to head back.”

Chen Wenting looked disappointed. She glanced at Shi Muhuan’s handsome face and said, “I’ve almost finished shopping too. How about we go back together?”

Shi Muhuan was puzzled.

Chen Wenting’s thinking was still quite westernized, and Shi Muhuan’s looks seemed to hit her aesthetic sweet spot. She felt she had fallen in love with him at first sight.

She wanted to pursue him.

Shi Tingyu didn’t really like dealing with people with this kind of personality.

Being too enthusiastic and forward made her feel overwhelmed and it was also a bit too noisy.

“We’re heading back to the family compound, so it might not be on the way.”

She remembered that Professor Chen and his team were at the biology research institute in Jinling, which was in a completely different direction. The girl’s intentions were pretty obvious.
