Chapter 424: Teach Me How to Do Things
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Zhixing kept talking, and Du Yue was very impatient. She raised her hand to interrupt her. “I didn’t intend on letting them go, and I’m not soft-hearted. Who do you think you are to come out and teach me how to do things?”
Du Yue’s tone turned cold. Du Yue did not care why Xia Zhixing suddenly appeared, nor did she care what kind of thoughts she had when she said those words to her. She simply did not like others pointing fingers at her actions.
Hearing Du Yue’s words, Xia Zhixing said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I was afraid that you would be soft-hearted and bring trouble to yourself, so I phrased my words in a less pleasant way.”
“You know that it might cause trouble, so why did you come and interfere?” Du Yue asked.
Xia Zhixing sighed softly. “I know Guan Sheng came to look for you. Sorry for the trouble. Let’s call it even.”
Hearing Guan Sheng’s name, Du Yue seemed a little impatient. “I hope the two of you can stop here. I don’t think we’re familiar with each other. Don’t disturb us again.”
The other day, he interfered with her affairs, and tonight, she stood here and lectured her about some nonsense. It was as if they were very familiar with her. In fact, they had only met a few times and were not much better than strangers. Xia Zhixing was a little embarra.s.sed. “I’m sorry, we won’t bother you again.”
Although they were not familiar with each other, Du Yue believed Xia Zhixing.
“Thank you, then.” After Du Yue finished speaking, she turned to leave. However, the moment she turned around, her peripheral vision swept past Xia Zhixing’s lower abdomen under the dim street lamp and paused. The two of them were very close to each other. Du Yue could clearly see that Xia Zhixing’s bulging belly was hidden under her loose clothes. Du Yue was not an inexperienced child. When she saw Xia Zhixing’s protruding belly, she certainly would not think that she was stuffed from eating too much.
Xia Zhixing was pregnant!
In her previous life, Du Yue had lived until the tenth year of the apocalypse, but she had never seen a pregnant woman before she died. People lived a life where they could not eat their next meal, and it was hard to say when they would lose their lives. No one would think about reproducing. Xia Zhixing was the only pregnant woman Du Yue had ever seen in the past ten years. Du Yue was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were fixed on Xia Zhixing’s lower abdomen. Du Yue’s gaze was so obvious that Xia Zhixing noticed it.
Xia Zhixing raised her hand almost unconsciously and quickly covered her lower abdomen. Seeing Xia Zhixing protecting her stomach, Du Yue came back to her senses. “I’m sorry.”
She really did not mean to stare at the other party’s stomach! It was just that it was so sudden that she could not react for a moment.
Xia Zhixing lowered her head and gently placed her hands on her lower abdomen. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “It’s okay.”
Du Yue nodded at her. “If there’s nothing else, you should go home early.”
A pregnant woman with a big belly actually came out to kill people instead of sleeping at home late at night. Du Yue did not know what to say. Xia Zhixing smiled at Du Yue. “Okay, I’m going home now. Thank you.”
Du Yue replied with a faint hum. “You don’t have to thank me.”
After saying that, Du Yue turned around and strode away, returning to the car with He Xing. After the two of them took their seats, they did not leave immediately. Du Yue looked at Xia Zhixing through the rearview mirror. She turned around and walked in the direction she came from.
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Du Yue soon heard the sound of a horn coming from that direction.
Du Yue turned to look at He Xing. “Let’s go too.” He Xing did not say anything else and stepped on the accelerator to start the car. On the way back, Du Yue did not say a word, but Xia Zhixing’s slightly bulging belly would flash across her mind from time to time. Xia Zhixing had a slim figure. Even though she was pregnant, her limbs were still thin except for her slightly bulging belly. From afar, it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
The last time they met, Du Yue did not notice her belly. Xia Zhixing’s belly was not big. Maybe it was because she had just gotten pregnant, or maybe it was not obvious. Du Yue had never given birth before, so she did not know much about this. However, she had surfed the internet a lot in the past. Putting everything else aside, most female celebrities in the entertainment industry had very small stomachs after they got pregnant. They might only have a slight bulge until they gave birth. This seemed to be related to genes and physiques, so it was impossible to determine the length of pregnancy just by looking at the size of a pregnant woman’s stomach..
