2210: I Like It

I Like It

Jiang Yao had always had a pleasant temper. Even if she had a bad temper from time to time, it would pass fast. She would argue with him during the day and then was back to being his gentle wife in the evening.2

"In the future, if you are unhappy, you can hit or criticize me," Lu Xingzhi replied abruptly. "Just get it out of your heart."

"Do not ignore me either," he said again.

Jiang Yao was instantly amused. She shook the cotton swab in her hand and sprayed water all over Lu Xingzhi's face. "Why do you talk so much? Go to sleep. It is past midnight."

Lu Xingzhi had no desire to sleep. He shook his head. "If you are tired, go to bed. I am going to touch the baby."

Jiang Yao put down the thing in her hand and lay down beside him. She took the initiative to take his hand and put it on her stomach.

The infant in her stomach seemed to sense something and suddenly kicked Lu Xingzhi's palm the minute his hand touched her belly.

Lu Xingzhi's expression, which had been rather natural at first, abruptly transformed.

"Am I dreaming?"

Lu Xingzhi's surprised face was trembling as he spoke, trying to control his feelings. His hand, though, remained firmly on Jiang Yao's tummy. He would have prompted his ear closer if Jiang Yao had not stared at him.

"It's not a dream; it's a prenatal movement." Jiang Yao's voice had a slight smirk when she reported fetal movement. "Our son is animated. He would occasionally flex his limbs and legs.

When Jiang Yao mentioned the baby, her smile grew. "Do you know when the baby first moved?"

"When?" Lu Xingzhi could not take his gaze away from Jiang Yao's tummy, and his interest was genuine.

"When I was nagging and lecturing the baby about you." Jiang Yao laughed heartily. "I was an asshole when I spoke about the baby's father. Look, the baby is moving again!"

Inquisitively, Jiang Yao placed her hand on the back of Lu Xingzhi's hand and muttered, "Lu Xingzhi is a b*stard."

A certain b*stard cast a longing glance at his wife, who was relishing her reprimand. His eyes were deep, with a tinge of disappointment and resentment.

So the wife was conversing with the infant while he was away?

"Do not speak of those things again." Lu Xingzhi kissed Jiang Yao's hand. "Otherwise, what if the child's first words in the future are that Lu Xingzhi is a b*stard?"

Jiang Yao's lips widened with delight. "If that is the case, I will adore him even more."

Lu Xingzhi wanted to bite her. He let out his frustration by gently biting Jiang Yao's fingertip. "We'll attend a prenatal education when we get back."

"Didn't you mention you wanted the child to study medicine in the future? I can teach him. We should start while he's young," Jiang Yao said.

Jiang Yao withdrew her hand from Lu Xingzhi's. Looking at the bite mark on her fingertip and his saliva on it, Jiang Yao pretended to be disgusted and wiped her saliva on his clothes.

Lu Xingzhi regarded Jiang Yao's childlike actions with adoration. He gave her a suggestive look, satisfied with himself.

"Do you like the name Lu Chenyang, Yaoyao?" Lu Xingzhi inquired abruptly.

Jiang Yao's breathing stopped. After a few seconds, she nodded gently. "I do."
