NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 208
Zhi Yao was stunned.
What? What! Are they really the same size?!
Appearances can indeed be deceiving...
After her moment of shock, she suddenly had a look of realization and turned to Ling Jue, saying, "Father, so you were trying to seduce Mother."
Ling Jue: "..."
What do you mean, seduce?!
Did he need to seduce her? He and Zhi Yi were clearly truly in love! Talking about seduction, really!
Zhi Yao almost laughed out loud.
Because... as far as she knew, her Mother didn't like these refined scholarly types. When they watched TV dramas together before, she could tell that her Mother preferred those domineering, cool CEOs! freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Seeing her father's pitiful expression, the little girl decided to find a suitable time to tell him about this.
"Alright, alright, enough nonsense," Ling Jue, having been exposed, blushed and quickly said to the doctor, "You old coot, stop wasting time and check my daughter. Is the one in her belly also a little princess?"
He really loved having a daughter! He adored it beyond measure.
The doctor glared at Ling Jue, "It's only been a few months, how could we possibly tell the gender?"
At the mention of the baby, Zhi Yao also became nervous. It was then that she noticed Pei Chiyao was missing.
"Father, where's Pei Chiyao? Where did he go?"
Naturally, Zhi Yao wanted Pei Chiyao to be present for matters concerning the baby.
"Pei Chiyao? Don't know," Ling Jue couldn't care less about Pei Chiyao's whereabouts. In his eyes, this guy was nothing more than a breeding machine. It made no difference whether he was there or not. Once the child was born, the Ling family would take care of it. What use was Pei Chiyao?
Zhi Yao cooperated with the doctor, extending her hand for him to check her pulse. Meanwhile, she fumbled for her phone under the pillow. Just as she retrieved it, before she could unlock it, someone walked in through the door.
It was Pei Chiyao.
The little girl's eyes immediately lit up, "Pei Chiyao, you're here!"
"I just went to the film set and came back."
He walked to Zhi Yao's side. The little girl, upon seeing him, wanted to reach out and hold his hand, but Pei Chiyao beat her to it, grasping her wrist and saying, "Wait a moment, my hands are cold. I don't want to chill you. Let them warm up first, okay?"
But Zhi Yao didn't mind at all. She directly grabbed Pei Chiyao's hand and even brought it close to her mouth, breathing hot air onto the back of his hand. "I'm not afraid of the cold! I just want to hold your hand."
This display of affection made Ling Jue feel like crying on the inside. He suddenly missed Zhi Yi even more, wanting to hug her, boo-hoo.
After a while, the hospital room finally quieted down. The Old Doctor hadn't spoken for a long time, making Zhi Yao's heart thump anxiously.
Especially when... he frowned!
What do patients fear most? They fear when doctors fall silent!
In this situation, Zhi Yao might think that she... no, that the baby had some terminal illness!
The little girl, frightened, tightly grasped Pei Chiyao's hand. Pei Chiyao comfortingly patted Zhi Yao's head, signaling her to stay calm.
Finally, Zhi Yao managed to settle down.
Ling Jue was also at his wit's end with the old man's behavior, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it! With all this frowning and sighing, who are you trying to scare?!"
The doctor, repeatedly called "old coot" by Ling Jue, was fuming, nearly ready to quit on the spot.
But looking at the expectant little girl in front of him, he decided not to quarrel with Ling Jue.
"It's nothing serious. The baby is only two months along, can't tell much yet."
"Then why were you frowning?!" Hearing this, Ling Jue became even more agitated.
"Tsk, can't you be a bit more polite?!"
The Old Doctor thought for a moment and decided to be honest, "To tell you the truth, this lineage doesn't seem to be fox."
Not like a fox? Not a fox? Then what is it!
Zhi Yao was dumbfounded.
Ling Jue was also momentarily stunned. After processing this, he quickly said, "Damn it! Don't tell me it's human?!"
If not a fox, then what could it be?! This Pei Chiyao was just an ordinary human!
What a loss! A huge loss! The fox cub he thought was in the bag was gone again.
Ling Jue felt like coughing up blood.
"It's not human either."
This was what puzzled the Old Doctor.
Zhi Yao was a fox, and her partner was human, but... this was neither fox nor human, so what was it?
This pulse, this aura... it was something he had never encountered before.
Very, very unfamiliar.
Hearing this, Ling Jue was even more stunned, "Could... could it be... half-human, half-fox?"
The Old Doctor rolled his eyes, "Half-foxes don't exist in this world. As long as there's spiritual power, one can change into a human or a fox at will. You've lived for so many years, and you don't even know this?"
Of course Ling Jue knew, he was just overly worried.
"Perhaps the child is too young, or maybe... I've misdiagnosed," the Old Doctor's face darkened.
In all these years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
His expression immediately aroused Ling Jue's dissatisfaction, "You can misdiagnose too? Old coot, are you deliberately opposing me, trying to trick me?!"
This old guy had deceived him plenty of times before, so Ling Jue had every reason to suspect he was doing it on purpose!
"I'm not that idle!"
The Old Doctor stood up, "No... no... I need to go back and consult my medical texts."
"Hey hey hey, stop right there, explain yourself clearly!"
Ling Jue, no longer caring about appearances, immediately stood up and rushed out, determined to get a clear explanation.
The two of them left the hospital room in a flash, like a gust of wind.
After a moment of bewilderment, Zhi Yao quickly came to a realization.
Not human, not fox...
Then... there was only one possibility left!
She was overjoyed, placing her small hand on her flat belly, and said, "Pei Chiyao! It's a dragon! A Dragon Cub!"
Seeing Zhi Yao so excited, Pei Chiyao couldn't help but smile, "You like dragons that much?"
Of course!
It's a dragon, after all!
Zhi Yao nodded frantically, "Yes, yes!"
"But I prefer foxes, what should we do?"
Pei Chiyao, like Ling Jue, preferred foxes, ideally... a fox that looked exactly like Zhi Yao.
"Then we'll just have another one."
Just thinking about being able to give birth to a dragon made Zhi Yao fearless of any pain.
Speaking of dragons, Zhi Yao suddenly thought of a question. She nervously grabbed Pei Chiyao's sleeve and said, "Pei Chiyao... if it's a dragon... I won't... I won't lay an egg, will I?!"
If that happened, wouldn't it scare all the doctors and nurses to death?
Zhi Yao was already starting to feel anxious.
A fox laying an egg—now that would truly be something unheard of and unseen!
Pei Chiyao was deeply shocked by Zhi Yao's train of thought.
Pei Chiyao: "..."
