Chapter 302 - Lost in Transit (1/2)

The next morning, Lei Xing and the Emperor had a leisure morning together.

They woke up very early mainly because they were hungry, well, Lei Xing was hungry, the Emperor already always woke up early most of the time.

After Lei Xing's wonderful declaration, the pair had immediately set out to fulfill this grand endeavor of theirs and ended up lulling themselves to sleep without dinner.

Lei Xing, who had worked very hard and had barely had anything to eat all day yesterday woke up famished.

While their breakfast got ready, the pair took a fun bath together to kill time. At breakfast, the usual bowl of contraceptive broth was there waiting for Lei Xing.

Lei Xing glanced at the Emperor across the table to find him staring at the bowl but when he noticed her eyes on him, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and looked down at his plate.

Lei Xing smiled, he always did that. Whenever they had breakfast together, he would always sneak glances at the bowl, obviously trying and failing at not paying attention to its presence. And when she would drink it, he would intentionally bury his head into his plate.

Lei Xing was sure that in his mind, he was trying not to pressure her, but his eyes could not help ”sneakily” being drawn to it and he did his awful best to do it without her notice.

”Take this away...and tell the Imperial physicians not to send it anymore.” Lei Xing ordered pointing at the bowl. Xiao Ruo smiled and happily took the bowl and handed it over to another maid to take away.

Lei Xing then turned to see the Emperor happily smiling at her. She snorted and then picked up her chopsticks to spend precious time with her second love, good food.

After breakfast, the two sat down together sipping on tea, well, Lei Xing was sipping on tea and the Emperor was staring at her.

He had been behaving a bit oddly since they woke up. She had actually woken up to him staring at her stomach and lightly stroking it with a smile - which she understood, he was excited about the prospects of a child. But then he kept glancing at her stomach, every time she stood up and even now that she was sitting, he was staring.

{...It's weird but kinda cute...maybe he thinks the more he stares at it the quicker it happens...}

Lei Xing snorted and smiled at the Emperor, who blinked at her before smiling back and promptly faced forward.

They sat quietly for while, until the Emperor suddenly looked at Xiao Ruo and ordered, ”Call for head physician...”

Xiao Ruo promptly bowed and then left, while Lei Xing asked with concern, ”Physician? Are you feeling ill?”

”Not at all...” The Emperor responded with a smile and then he seriously asked, ”Do you feel any different?”

Lei Xing looked at the expectant expression on his face and knit her brows and tentatively asked, ”Any different how?”

The Emperor knit his brows as well and then picked up his teacup, ”We'll wait for the head physician...” He resolutely said and then went about sipping his tea.

Lei Xing scrutinized him and then asked, ”You don't think I'm pregnant already, do you?”

{...That would certainly explain all the stomach staring (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)...}

The Emperor glanced at her and nodded, ”Perhaps...”

”I'm not pregnant.” Lei Xing said with a little laugh, amused.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, ”How do you know you're not?”

”Well...What makes you think that I am?” Lei Xing asked with another laugh.

The Emperor knit his brows and glanced at Ah Jin, who immediately got the message and bowed and exited the room to give them privacy. The Emperor then smiled at Lei Xing and said, ”Well, I had a dream about babies...What do you think about twins?”

Lei Xing blinked at him in surprise before bursting into laughter. The Emperor frowned at her and Lei Xing said still amidst laughter, ”I'm sorry...I didn't know men had conception dreams...What?”

”I'm serious, I've never dreamt about babies before...” He said, unhappy Lei Xing was not taking this seriously. It was important.

”Well, have you ever had your wife tell you she wants a baby before?” Lei Xing asked with an amused raised eyebrow.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes at her, understanding where she was going with this, ”This was different. It means something...I have a sixth sense about these things.”

Lei Xing lightly snorted and then cleared her throat, ”Okay, twins. I like twins, they're a 2-for-1 special, bargain deal. But even if I got ”pregnant” last night with ”twins”, doctors won't be able to tell today. That's not how it works, it's way too soon...” She patiently explained.

{...Well, that quack might be able to tell, but let's not encourage him haha...}

The Emperor knit his brows and asked, ”Well, how long then?”

Lei Xing blinked at him and shrugged, ”Two weeks, a month, two months. I don't know, haven't been pregnant before...But I know it's definitely not today.” She added narrowing her eyes at him.
