Chapter 592 - 592 Laying An Egg
592 Laying An Egg
Bai Di was no longer smiling. His attitude was domineering. “I’ve told you everything I know. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
The elf guards had no choice but to leave.
Closing the door, Bai Di and Huanhuan returned to the house.
The three people in the house heard their conversation with the elf guards clearly.
Shuang Yun was puzzled. “Who’s Doris?”
Huanhuan looked at Bai Di beside her and snorted. “She’s a certain someone’s suitor.”
Bai Di smiled helplessly. “Don’t look at me like that. I have no one else in my heart but you.”
Huanhuan poked his chest. “You met her early this morning to chat. I didn’t even know about this. Tell me, did you do something else with her behind my back?”
Bai Di grabbed her mischievous little hands. “I’ve only seen her twice in total. You were there the first time. The second time was this morning. There’s really nothing else.”
Huanhuan didn’t actually suspect him. She trusted Bai Di’s character. She only said a few words as a joke between husband and wife.
After hearing his explanation, she muttered, “I don’t like Doris. Don’t associate with her anymore.”
It was one thing for Doris to despise her, but how dare she speak ill of her family? She would remember this grudge for the rest of her life.
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say,” Bai Di agreed readily.
Huanhuan stretched out her hands for a hug.
Bai Di picked her up.
“Since you’re so obedient, I’ll give you a reward.” Huanhuan leaned forward and kissed his face.
Bai Di looked to the other side. “And this side too.”
Hence, Huanhuan kissed his other cheek.
Seeing this, Shuang Yun couldn’t sit still anymore. He forced his big head in.
“What about me?! You can’t favor one over the other!”
Huanhuan hugged his big head and kissed his forehead.
Shuang Yun immediately leaned over and kissed her forehead.
Huanhuan turned to look at Xue Ling and saw him standing not far away, looking at her with a faint smile.
Seeing her look over, Xue Ling walked over and kissed her on the lips. “I went to the mountains to find a lot of bird eggs. I’ll make you egg custard tonight. You can nourish yourself with the eggs.”
Huanhuan said, “This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
At night, not only did Xue Ling make egg custard, but he also made egg omelets and Huanhuan’s favorite chicken patties.
Huanhuan ate happily.
She had the same food again the next day. They were all food made from bird eggs.
Huanhuan almost felt nauseous.
She expressed that she didn’t want to see bird eggs again for the time being.
In the past two days, another person had gone missing among the elves. Whether it was an accident or a coincidence, all the missing elves were young and beautiful women.
The families of these missing girls were very anxious. They mobilized everyone around them to search the mountain.
Huanhuan did not know what was happening outside. She sat at home and recuperated.
She touched her stomach and muttered softly, “I’m about to give birth. Why is my stomach still flat?”
Xue Ling stared at her stomach and observed it carefully. “It’s not flat. It’s slightly bulging compared to yesterday.”
“Is it? I don’t feel it at all.”
Xue Ling told her to lie down on the bed and instructed carefully, “If you feel like you have to pee later, tell me quickly.”
Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I know. This is the tenth time you’ve said it today.”
Xue Ling had delivered babies for other females in the tribe in the past, but he had never delivered babies for his own mate. Especially since his mate was carrying his children now, he was extremely nervous.
He couldn’t help but remind her again, “Remember, if you feel anything, you have to tell me.”
“If you continue to nag, you’ll probably enter menopause early.”
“What’s menopause?”
“It’s a condition that causes middle-aged women’s imaginations to run wild and their tempers to flare up.”
Xue Ling thought about it seriously. “I understand every word you say, but I don’t understand them in the sentences you strung together.”
“It’s normal for you not to understand. Stop nagging. Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat.” Huanhuan deliberately found something for him to do to help divert his attention so that he wouldn’t be too nervous.
“Oh, I’m on it. If you feel uncomfortable, just shout. I’ll be right over.”
“I know. Go ahead.”
Xue Ling looked at her a few more times before reluctantly walking out of the bedroom.
Not long after he left, Bai Di came in with hot water.
“How do you feel?”
Huanhuan thought about it carefully and really didn’t feel anything. In the end, she could only give up and say in an especially relaxed tone, “I’m doing quite well.”
This pregnancy was probably the easiest for her. If only every pregnancy could be as easy in the future.
Bai Di looked at her stomach and sighed. “I wonder how Big White and Little White are doing.”
Because of Huanhuan’s ‘death’, Bai Di kept brooding over it and could move on. He was focused on finding Xuan Wei to ask about what had happened and ended up neglecting to take care of the two children.
The two children had grown up well, and it was thanks to Bai Luo. However, the father-child relationship between them and Bai Di had long faded after so many years of separation.
Bai Di felt both guilty and sorry.
Huanhuan empathized with him.
She leaned against him. “It’s my fault. If I hadn’t suddenly left, our family wouldn’t have been forced to separate.”
Bai Di put his arms around her. “No one could’ve predicted your sudden departure. You can’t be blamed.”
“When we get back, we’ll go to Sun City and pick up Big White and Little White, alright?”
“Mhm.”
Although the relationship between father and children was much colder, he still wanted to try his best to make it up to them. He hoped that the two children would be willing to give him this chance.
As the two of them chatted, Huanhuan suddenly felt her bladder swell.
She immediately frowned and pressed her hand to her stomach. “I think I’m going to give birth.”
Bai Di’s expression changed. He quickly laid her down and ran to pull open the door. “Huanhuan is giving birth!” he shouted at Xue Ling in the kitchen.
After a series of bangs, Xue Ling ran out of the kitchen in a panic. He strode into the bedroom and saw Huanhuan frowning. He quickly asked, “Does it hurt?”
He had lived for so many years and experienced countless storms. He had never lost his composure like this.
Huanhuan’s expression was complicated. “It doesn’t hurt. It just feels strange.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’ll be over soon.”
It was unknown if he was saying this to Huanhuan or to himself.
Xue Ling lifted her dress and looked at it. Then, he reached in and touched the part. It did feel like she was about to give birth.
Huanhuan felt a little itchy from his touch. She couldn’t help but want to laugh. “Let’s name the child Eggy, okay?”
“Eggy?” Xue Ling was still hesitating when he heard Huanhuan call out.
“It’s happening!”
He quickly pulled her legs apart and saw a round bird egg.
