honestly I’m really considering on just straight-up adding sex scenes (written by me, so it’s fanfic) bc this novel is just so raunchy at times.
Edit from 2 Jan 2024: yes I’ve added those. You’re welcome.
In order to coax Yu Antong, Xing Lixuan sent different flowers every day.
Yu Antong put the flowers together and arranged them with Mrs. Xing and the others. This became a group activity thanks to Mrs. Xing called Xing Yin and Yu Annan to join.
Xing Yin said, “I don’t have the leisure time to do this. Count me out this time, okay?”
Yu Annan was very interested, she looked at Yu Antong’s skillful movements and said in surprise “Ge, you actually know how to arrange flowers?”
“I used to study it when I was free,” Yu Antong took out a daffodil. He measured the height, cut off the two-finger-long stem, and inserted it into a vase, “So my skill is just so-so. If you want to learn, let Mom teach you.”
Yu Annan thought about what her elder brother meant that Yu Antong started to learn after he got married to Xing Lixuan, specifically after he lived in the main house. Naturally, it should be Mrs. Xing who taught him, so she didn’t find this fishy.
Mrs. Xing smiled and said, “Tongtong, I see that my arrangement isn’t as beautiful as yours. If your skill is just ‘so-so’ then mine is just abysmal.”
With bright eyes, Yu Antong said, “The works of the two of us have their own advantages and disadvantages. Yours is more traditional and elegant, suitable for placing in the meeting room to make them look more grand. While my arrangement is more personal, so it’s more suitable to be placed in homes.”
“In our family, you sure have the sweetest tongue,” Mrs. Xing helplessly smiled, and laughed at Yu Antong’s skillful sophistry.
The three discussed with each other, and finally put the finished product on the table.
“Flowers, pretty flowers!” Little Judy came down from the upstairs room and saw those beautiful flowers from a distance.
At the beginning, she was still caressing the petals gently, and from time to time she leaned up to sniff the flowers with her little nose.
Yu Antong took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of her. The picture of the adorable little girl closing her eyes and sniffing the flowers was so beautiful that Yu Antong had the illusion that little Judy was actually not a naughty, ill-tempered brat.
Who knew that when he went away to get himself a glass of water, the little devil plucked all the flowers bald in a blink of an eye.
The little devil threw a large handful of petals into the sky, and then she stood at the bottom and spun around to catch the petals, giggling so happily, babbling that she was a beautiful little fairy.
Yu Antong couldn’t get mad at her. He just felt that Judy was physically cute, but her personality needed a lot of work, to put it nicely.
Fortunately, after the little devil finished harming all his flowers, she was finally brought back to the United States by her parents.
“Goodbye, Uncles and Aunties!” Judy reluctantly hugged the piggy lantern that Yu Antong gave her when she left, and said in an adorable, high-pitched voice, “Tongtong-ge, I will miss you!”
Yu Antong waved to her, “I will miss you too.”
After Xing Yin’s family left, Yu Annan also returned home, saying that she would go back to study.
The carpet in the house was ruined by Judy, so it was replaced with a new one.
“Xing Lixuan, you are a big liar!”
After paying homage to all the relatives of the Xing family, Yu Antong crossed his legs and counted the money for a long time. He found that although he received a lot of red envelopes, he also gave out a lot of red envelopes to the children. In the end, it’s all balanced out.
Yu Antong beat Xing Lixuan angrily, “Look, there is no money left!”
Xing Lixuan also forgot about this. He was currently flipping through the storybook to tell his child a story. He took a look at the book in his hand, and said in a hurry, “It’s okay. After Xiao Nian is born, we can ask for more in his name. Let our son help you earn money.”
None of his relatives could have imagined that the youngest Xing family member in his generation, Xing Lixuan, who was also the richest, would be thinking about getting their money instead.
“Forget it,” Yu Antong said quite emotionally, “The money our child will get is his. It’s not mine to use.”
Besides, it’s much more reliable for him to earn money by himself.
Yu Antong laid down and patted his belly, “Hurry up and tell my son a bedtime story.”
Xing Lixuan opened the storybook, leaned on Yu Antong’s waist, and said to Yu Antong’s belly, “Today, I’m picking ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’. Once upon a time…”
Yu Antong lowered his eyes, and from his angle, he could see Xing Lixuan’s handsome side face. He had thick, long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, sharp jawline, and kissable lips. His voice was also very nice. It was smooth like chocolate, but also had this low vibration like a cello.
Hey, his dog man was so handsome! He was a tiny bit jealous of the little brat in his belly, for letting this man tell him stories so seriously.
Yu Antong stared at Xing Lixuan obsessively for a while, and said, “My son said he doesn’t want to hear this.”
Xing Lixuan looked up at him, and Yu Antong mischievously smiled in return. He patted Xing Lixuan’s arm coquettishly, “Look what I’m doing, your son doesn’t want to hear it.”
Xing Lixuan cooperated with his wife’s antics, curious at where he’s bringing this. “Then you help me ask my son what story he wants to hear.”
Yu Antong pretended to say in his child’s stead, “He said: Dad, I want to hear ‘Sleeping Beauty’ instead.”
Xing Lixuan’s eyes were deep and gentle. He and Yu Antong looked at each other and said, “Then Daddy will tell you about ‘Sleeping Beauty’.”
“Hey, did you mean it!” Yu Antong smiled and stared, betting that Xing Lixuan called himself “Daddy” to him on purpose.
“What on purpose?” Xing Lixuan pretended to be stupid. “It’s the baby who said he wanted to listen to ‘Sleeping Beauty’. Of course, his Daddy has to meet the baby’s request.”
“Huft, why are your thoughts so dirty?” Yu Antong playfully kicked his calf and muttered, “Although… your baby is me!”
Xing Lixuan bent down and grabbed Yu Antong’s squirmy foot, “I didn’t hear what you said clearly.”
Yu Antong’s feet moved back and forth in retaliation, “Stinky husband, I am your baby.”
“Baby” was the exclusive nickname that Xing Lixuan gave him – and it’s his first nickname, too. It can’t be used by others, not even his little child.
“Tsk!” Yu Antong’s fidgeting feet touched something squishy. Xing Lixuan grimaced once the contact was made, clicked his tongue, and took a deep breath. “Baby, stop teasing me.”
“You deserve it,” Yu Antong used his feet to touch it again. “You’re bullying me, after all~”
“Little Ancestor1since Chinese culture is big on honoring your elders, saying someone is your ancestor is like, the sarcastic/playful version of describing/calling someone who deserves such honor., don’t move around,” Xing Lixuan hugged Yu Antong tightly, “I didn’t bully you, I just wanted to play with you.”
“Husband~” Yu Antong also felt it. He kissed Xing Lixuan while gripping his perfect jawline so their kiss could go longer. His reply was high-pitched, voice all delicate and satin-soft. “Husband, can you give me lots of your love?”
Xing Lixuan’s Adam’s apple rolled. If Yu Antong just asked, he would give his wife his life, no question asked. He suppressed the strong feeling in his heart, and replied in a hoarse voice, “Baby, bear with it for another month.”
Yu Antong also knew penetrative sex during his first trimester could be dangerous, so it was off the table. But his hormones kinda went crazy, and he didn’t want to let go of Xing Lixuan. Even if it was just hugging and cuddling, it was still very satisfying.
Half an hour later, Yu Antong fell asleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Xing Lixuan was teased half to death and was seriously considering whether or not it’s possible to die from blue balls. Thankfully, he had a will of steel. After a while, he calmed himself down, wiggled out from Yu Antong’s death grip, and went to the bathroom to solve his problem.
