Chapter 63: A Bolt from the Blue. Meng Wu Seems to Be Really Pregnant. p1
Without a response from Zhou Siyan, only static crackled in the earpiece. Xue Yu thought the signal was cut off and raised her voice, shouting, “Hello, Xiaohai’s daddy, can you hear me? I said I got another man pregnant.”
“Hello! Are you there? I said I got a man pregnant!” Xue Yu repeated anxiously.
Zhou Siyan’s frozen consciousness finally returned. He swallowed and composed himself. “Yes, I heard you. Who is it?”
Xue Yu pouted, looking pitiful. “It’s Meng Wu. He came to the island to find me and said he’s pregnant.”
Zhou Siyan’s rationality collapsed again. His mind was split open by a white light. “Meng Wu? Did you sleep with him? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xue Yu’s face turned red. She was an earthling, after all. She couldn’t just put this kind of thing on the table for analysis. She stammered, “I’m not sure if we slept together…”
“How can you not be sure about something like this?” Zhou Siyan didn’t understand.
Xue Yu told him everything that had happened after she was taken to the restaurant by Lu Sen and Bai Qi and drank the drink they gave her.
Zhou Siyan: “You really don’t remember anything?”
Xue Yu felt guilty, and her voice became smaller. “I really don’t know. When I woke up, I wasn’t wearing any clothes, and Blueberry was messing around with Meng Wu’s lizard under the bed. I really want to beat it to death.”
Zhou Siyan’s mind was racing…
How should he handle this? How should he get along with Meng Wu in the future?
He and Meng Wu had grown up together. They had been like brothers for so many years. It could have been anyone. Why did it have to be Meng Wu? He really couldn’t accept it.
“Is it possible that it’s just a phantom pregnancy, or that he’s trying to trick us?” Zhou Siyan said.
Xue Yu had calmed down now, and her mind was clear. “That’s right! I’m so honest. I can just look at the reproduction tree in my landscape!”
Zhou Siyan: “Yes, you should look now.”
Xue Yu held her breath and entered her spiritual landscape. The number of flowers and fruits on the reproduction tree had not changed.
There were still three shiny crystal fruits, representing Xue Xiaohai and the sisters Xiaobei and Xiaonan. There were also two flowers, representing the two unborn children in Mo Li’s belly.
“No, Zhou Siyan. There are no extra flowers on the reproduction tree.”
Zhou Siyan’s tense heartstrings relaxed a little. “That’s good. Since there’s no child, no matter if there was a substantial relationship that time or not, you shouldn’t admit it. Just pretend that nothing happened. Don’t let him cling to you.”
“But wouldn’t that be too scummy…” Xue Yu was hesitant.
Zhou Siyan said in a deep voice, “Yes, that’s indeed not good. Then take him in. It’s good to have more people to take care of the children, and it’s more lively with more people. I’ve known him for so long, and I also know that he’s very clean. If you want to keep him by your side, I certainly have no objections. Playing with my good brother is much better than playing with those messy people outside.”
“I just don’t know if Feng Qizhou and Mo Li will have any objections. Feng Qizhou has a bad temper. He will definitely make a fuss when he finds out. Mo Li probably won’t say anything, but it’s hard to say what he’s thinking.”
A series of dense words, Xue Yu heard it like an old monk chanting scriptures.
She quickly expressed her attitude, “Yes, Xiaohai’s daddy. You’re so right. I should have less contact with him.”
Zhou Siyan’s voice softened a lot. “Okay. Just bear with it for now. When you come back, I’ll make you comfortable.”
Xue Yu smiled shyly. “Okay, okay.”
She then asked Zhou Siyan to help her check if the higher-ups of the White Tower had discovered her plan to build an island, which was why they had sent Meng Wu over as a spy.
After finishing the call with Zhou Siyan, Xue Yu felt much more relaxed.
She left the cockpit, went to the deck outside, jumped into the water, and swam ashore again.
Meng Wu was still tied up on the beach. Xue Yu walked up to him, raised her gun again, and aimed it at him. “Major Meng, no matter what kind of monster you’re pregnant with, you can’t go back to the White Tower.”
Meng Wu looked at her directly. “Whether you believe it or not, I am pregnant with your child.”
He smiled, propped himself up, and pressed his forehead against Xue Yu’s dark gun barrel. “And I plan to have it.”
Xue Yu had to admit that she was still too young, and her mind was not calm and experienced enough.
Seeing Meng Wu like this, the scale in her heart began to sway again. Could it be that Meng Wu had just received her egg, and the embryo had not yet officially started to develop, which was why the reproduction tree had not bloomed a new flower?
After all, when she opened her spiritual landscape and officially saw the reproduction tree, both Xiaohai and Xiaobei had been born, and Mo Li was also starting to show.
She was sure that as soon as a child was born, the flower on the reproduction tree would bear a crystal fruit.
But when would the flower on the reproduction tree appear? She couldn’t figure it out for the time being. Would it appear as soon as her egg entered a man’s body, or would it only appear when he started to show?
Seeing Xue Yu’s dark, bright eyes darting around, Meng Wu knew that he had bet right again.
Xue Yu put away her gun and pulled him up. “Then I’ll keep you by my side. If you can’t give birth later, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Meng Wu’s handsome and rather rugged features were tinged with a decadent, roguish air. He smiled with a self-destructive world-weariness. “Xue Yu, don’t be so fierce with me. Be careful you don’t cause me to have a miscarriage.”
Xue Yu pulled and dragged him to the beach on the east side, where Mo Li was leading the workers to set up camp.
“Mo Li, come here quickly!” Xue Yu shouted.
Mo Li put down the hammer in his hand. When he saw the tied-up Meng Wu, his brow furrowed slightly as he walked over.
Xue Yu felt guilty. She went up to him, held Mo Li’s hand, and took out a piece of torn cloth from her pocket to wipe his sweat. “Darling, are you tired? Look how much you’re sweating. Let me wipe it for you.”
Her thoughts were as shallow as could be. All her emotions were written on her face.
As soon as Mo Li saw her expression, he roughly guessed what had happened. “Is he your new boyfriend?”
“No, no. How could that be?” Xue Yu kept wiping Mo Li’s sweat.
Mo Li had naturally pale skin, and he was also a water-type warrior, so his skin was even more fair and tender. Being so attentively wiped by Xue Yu, his face was rubbed red.
He asked again, “Do you have a secret affair with him?”
Xue Yu’s eyes darted around. “It’s not a secret affair. It’s just a somewhat unusual friendship.”
Mo Li: “Did you have relations?”
Xue Yu just kept wiping his sweat, her lips sealed, pretending to be mute.
Mo Li looked at Meng Wu and then asked Xue Yu, “Was it an accident?”
Xue Yu nodded vigorously.
Mo Li had no right to say anything. His one-night stand with Xue Yu could also be considered an “accident.” Just as he was about to righteously condemn him, how was he any nobler than Meng Wu?
“So what exactly happened?” Mo Li held Xue Yu’s wrist and took the torn cloth she was using to wipe his sweat.
Xue Yu leaned closer to him, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered in his ear, “It’s a little more than an accident.”
Mo Li turned his face to look at her, indicating that he didn’t understand.
Xue Yu whispered in his ear again, “He said he’s pregnant with my child.”
It was indeed quite a surprise. Mo Li’s eternally icy face rarely showed any emotion, but now he looked at Meng Wu, his gaze shifting from his face to his abdomen, his eyes filled with a heavy sense of judgment.
Xue Yu held Mo Li’s hand and said again, “You’re more experienced. Can you help me see if he’s really pregnant?”
Mo Li couldn’t tell. Not to mention that the education system of the White Tower had almost no knowledge of pregnancy.
Furthermore, Xue Yu’s ability to get men pregnant was also rare in the world, and he couldn’t even determine the specific time of his own pregnancy.
If his belly hadn’t started to show, he wouldn’t have known he was pregnant.
And he wasn’t sure when the pregnancy hormones would appear, but he was sure that it should be after the embryo started to develop.
“Are you sure you had relations with him?” Mo Li asked Xue Yu again.
Xue Yu shook her head. “I’m not sure.”
She briefly told him about the “accident” with Meng Wu.
Mo Li was indeed a little emotional, but in the end, he was helpless.
Anyway, there were already so many men. One more or one less didn’t seem to make much of a difference.
Mo Li’s gaze returned to Xue Yu’s face. “What do you plan to do?”
Xue Yu said, “I suspect he’s a spy sent by the White Tower. Anyway, I can’t just let him go. I’m going to the South Continent to deliver the iron plates. I might as well take him with me and find a doctor to give him a good check-up to see if he’s really pregnant.”
“Should I go to the South Continent with you?”
Xue Yu held his hand down. “No. You have to stay on the island with the workers, in case they get out of hand.”
As they were talking, Wenying and a few workers noticed the situation and came over to ask, “Xue Yu, isn’t this Major Meng from the naval combat center? I’ve seen him before. Why is he tied up?”
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the few workers. They looked at each other, as if they were thinking about something.
Xue Yu hurriedly cut the steel rope on Meng Wu, patted his shoulder, and said seriously:
“Yes, this is Major Meng Wu of the naval combat team!”
“He was sent by the White Tower to assist us in building the island. Let’s warmly welcome Major Meng Wu to guide the work of the Shanhai Safe Zone!”
[Shanhai Safe Zone] was the name Xue Yu had given this island.
She was very good at acting. She clapped her hands hard and then shouted at the workers not far away, “Everyone, everyone! Come over here for a moment. This is a leader sent by the White Tower’s central military to inspect our work. Let’s give him a warm welcome!”
Led by Xue Yu, the workers also applauded, and much of their confusion about being on the island was dispelled.
A worker asked, “Captain Xue, why did you tie up Major Meng just now?”
Xue Yu laughed. “I was playing with him. You know, our Major Meng is an open-minded person, very open. He likes these little games.”
The worker: “Is that so, Major Meng?”
The corner of Meng Wu’s mouth twitched. “Yes. Everyone, listen to Xue Yu and work hard. The White Tower will definitely not treat you unfairly.”
With the endorsement of Meng Wu, an officer of the naval combat team, and the work permit issued by the Director of the Security Division, Zhou Siyan, the workers no longer had any doubts about the project to build the [Shanhai Safe Zone].
Time was tight. Xue Yu hurriedly said goodbye to Mo Li.
She took Meng Wu onto the cargo ship again. She couldn’t delay any longer. She had to hurry and deliver the iron plates to the South Continent.
