Chapter 136: Sudden Little Emotions

Shen Chuning hadn’t expected that the man, who usually remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, would have this side to him.

His flustered appearance made her burst into laughter.

She threw herself into his arms, “Who said I’m unhappy or don’t want a child? I just woke up and haven’t recovered yet; I’m a little dazed.”

Zhou Yubai’s cold and deep eyes sparkled with excitement, and he couldn’t help but hug Shen Chuning tightly.

Shen Chuning’s face was full of happy smiles.

Brother Yubai wanted to have children with her; it was wonderful!

Shen Chuning had slept until now, hadn’t even eaten dinner, and hadn’t noticed she was hungry during her emotional outburst.

Now that her mood had improved, her stomach began to rumble.

Zhou Yubai quickly made her five sugar-water eggs, a full large bowl.

Before, Shen Chuning would be full after eating just one sugar-water egg, but now she effortlessly finished the whole bowl.

After eating, while feeling satisfied, she became worried, frowning and saying to Zhou Yubai, “Brother Yubai, am I eating too much now? If I keep eating like this, I’ll become a 200-jin fat woman before the baby is even born.”

Zhou Yubai’s deep eyes looked at her seriously, “Wife, don’t worry, even if you weigh 200 jin, I can still carry you.”

Shen Chuning: …

How could Zhou Yubai, with such a cold and fierce face, say such silly things?

Shen Chuning couldn’t help but glare at him.

But the man put his words into action, directly lifting her into the bathroom to wash up.

Usually, the man would always pester her.

But today, the man seemed to have changed his personality. Even when he undressed her and put her in the bathtub, he kept a straight face, without any impure thoughts.

Shen Chuning didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Before, she always felt tired when the man got intimate with her.

But today, the man’s ascetic monk-like demeanor made her feel a sense of loss.

She couldn’t help but touch her still-flat belly and slim waist, worried that she had really gained weight recently and had become unattractive to him.

After she finished washing, the man carried her back to bed as usual.

She didn’t even touch the ground during the whole process.

When the man put her on the bed, she bit her lip, suppressing her shyness, and put an arm around his neck, kissing him.

It was rare for his wife to be so proactive, and Zhou Yubai was surprised and delighted.

He immediately seized the opportunity, tightly holding Shen Chuning’s slender waist, as if he wanted to devour the small woman, deepening the kiss.

Shen Chuning felt the man’s movements and emotions, a surge of joy rising in her heart.

Thank goodness, it wasn’t that she had gained weight and lost her attractiveness.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly ambiguous, as if the temperature had risen several degrees.

But just as Shen Chuning was about to lose control, the man suddenly let go of her.

Then, he quickly tucked her into the bed, his face slightly embarrassed as he avoided her gaze and quickly said, “Wife, sleep first, I’ll be back in a while.”

After saying that, he strode out of the room.

Leaving Shen Chuning staring at his back in a daze.

Shen Chuning didn’t know what was wrong with her; the moment she saw the man’s back disappear at the door, her emotions surged, and tears welled up.

Zhou Yubai rushed to the well, picked up a bucket of cold water, and poured it over his head.

In the cold winter, Zhou Yubai poured two or three more buckets of cold water over his head without changing his expression, only then feeling the heat in his heart finally subside.

He took a deep breath, now understanding why his mother had specifically told him that.

If it weren’t for his mother’s warning, tonight he…

When Zhou Yubai returned to the room after cooling down, he met his wife’s tearful beautiful eyes.

His heart ached, and he quickly ran over, “Wife, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong and make you angry again?”

Shen Chuning glared at him resentfully and turned her face away.

Zhou Yubai panicked and grabbed Shen Chuning’s hand, “Wife, what did I do wrong? Tell me how to fix it, okay?”

Shen Chuning’s hands, which had been warm in the quilt, were suddenly chilled by the man’s icy cold hands, making her shiver.

Zhou Yubai quickly let go and apologized, “Wife, I’m sorry, I…”

Shen Chuning then saw that not only were the man’s hands cold, but his hair was also slightly wet and un-dried.

Shen Chuning immediately guessed that the man had taken a cold shower, and she became even more aggrieved.

With tears on her face, she looked at the man, “You… you’d rather take a cold shower than… with me, do you dislike me?”

Zhou Yubai: …

He never imagined that the little rabbit was so aggrieved because of that.

His fear instantly turned into sweetness and a little excitement.

This meant that his wife was also willing to be intimate with him, and he wasn’t the only one eager.

He quickly told Shen Chuning what Lin Shulan had told him.

After Shen Chuning heard this, her face turned completely red.

She had never had a mother, nor a sister, and her father and brothers couldn’t possibly tell her about such things.

She really didn’t know that she couldn’t… during pregnancy.

The man had gone to take a cold shower for her and the child, yet she was being emotional, making it seem like she was particularly lustful.

Her face instantly turned as red as a monkey’s bottom, and she quickly pulled the quilt over herself, turning her back to the man.

Zhou Yubai was still a little anxious, “Wife…”

“Brother Yubai, don’t talk to me, I’m asleep…” the little woman’s soft and sweet voice reached his ears.

The corners of Zhou Yubai’s lips unconsciously curved upward, “Okay, I won’t talk to you, I’ll sleep with you.”

Shen Chuning was already easily sleepy, and after eating her fill and having a fuss, she fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.

Zhou Yubai, however, hugging his soft and fragrant wife, smelling her alluring scent, couldn’t help but feel restless. In the end, he got up again, ran dozens of laps in the yard, took another cold shower, and then went to bed.

When Shen Chuning woke up the next morning, the man was already gone, but there was a pot of steaming breakfast he had made.

After Shen Chuning finished breakfast, she was about to go to work on her bicycle as usual when Lin Shulan came over.

“Ningning, don’t ride your bicycle to work, come here.” Lin Shulan waved to Shen Chuning as soon as she entered the yard.

Shen Chuning was a little puzzled, “Mother, what’s wrong? You came so early, do you have something to tell me?”
