Unable to restrain his joy, Parker lifted her and spun a few rounds, only letting her off with a chuckle after spinning her dizzy.
Bai Qingqing shook her head, barely able to steady her footing. On the other hand, Parker retreated a few steps, then quickly sized her up before grabbing her.
“Have you grown thinner during my absence?” Parker asked his mate with a smile. He pinched her face, then her arm, and then slipped his hand into her clothes to pinch her soft waist, before exclaiming with shock, “You’ve grown fatter.”
Unhappy to hear that, Bai Qingqing propped her chin with both hands. “Really?”
Life had been worry-free these days, and food was also in abundance, so Bai Qingqing’s appet.i.te naturally improved by quite a lot. But she didn’t feel like she had gotten fatter.
Knowing she liked to be pretty, Parker added, “Not your face. Just your waist.”
Bai Qingqing’s face reddened, and she said embarra.s.sedly, “Cough… probably because I’ve eaten a bit much lately.”
Parker’s calloused hand was still caressing her smooth tummy. Though he had just entered the house from the rain, his temperature was, however, a tad warmer than Bai Qingqing’s body inside of her clothes. It was a comfortable sensation.
“You didn’t go into heat over this period of time, did you?” Parker suddenly asked. He swept a probing gaze over Winston and Muir, then said, “Why do I feel like you’re pregnant?”
Ever since he entered the house, he sensed that the atmosphere between Qingqing and Muir had changed. That awkwardness between the duo no longer existed, who now felt like a beastman couple. At that moment, he had a pretty good feeling that this baby was Muir’s.
And Muir’s reaction verified Parker’s speculation. His expression was initially a panic-stricken one, which was then replaced by delight. There wasn’t any doubt on his face.
This went to prove that over this period of time, Qingqing hadn’t mated with Curtis or Winston, thus this baby could only be his.
However, Bai Qingqing refused to believe this. She rolled her eyes and said, “No, I’m not! Don’t spout nonsense and cause others to get the wrong idea.”
As she spoke, Bai Qingqing cast a furtive glance at Muir, afraid he would get disappointed after getting his hopes up.
The sparkle in Muir’s eyes dimmed, and his expression went back to normal. He caught Bai Qingqing’s quick glance and even gave her a comforting smile in return.
Caught in the act, Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue. As though something suddenly occurred to her, she said, “But speaking of which, it has indeed been a while since I went into heat.”
Bai Qingqing counted on her fingers. She hadn’t had her period in the last two years. In fact, ever since she arrived in the beastman world, the number of times she had had her period were countable. It was truly fantastic!
Bai Qingqing chuckled. “It’s good that my periods don’t come. It’d truly be relaxing if I can go into heat once a year like the other females.”
Parker and Winston both already had their offspring, so they weren’t anxious about this, and there was a look of agreement in their eyes. Although Muir was childless yet, for some reason, he was certain that Qingqing would eventually give birth to a nest of his eggs, so he wasn’t anxious either.
“No way, didn’t you say that you don’t bleed before going into heat and that the bleeding represented the end of one cycle? What if you really are pregnant?” Parker suddenly said, “I’d better get the doctor to check on you.”
With that, he transformed into a leopard and sprinted into the rain.
Bai Qingqing instantly recalled the method which Harvey used to confirm Molly’s pregnancy, and her face started heating up. With so many layers of clothes on her, would she still have to remove them all and let him sniff at her?
Without waiting for Harvey to arrive, Winston edged closer to Bai Qingqing’s body to sniff, and his countenance suddenly changed imperceptibly.
Lately, Bai Qingqing had been sleeping with Curtis, and Winston rarely got near her. Even if he went near her, her pleasant scent would always be masked by that snake’s intense and intrusive odor.
