Chapter 564. Sisters
The last time I saw Yan Xinya was during the New Year.
At that time, the wolf girl was still that youthful, energetic sports girl, but upon seeing her again, the athlete was now pregnant, wearing a loose long dress that exuded a gentle, married woman vibe at first glance.
If only she could keep her mouth shut…
Her belly wasn’t very prominent, but the more noticeable change was her noticeably fuller chest, almost rivaling a Succubus.
Though her appearance was elegant, Yan Xinya’s lively personality remained unchanged as she dashed around the room, inspecting the décor and furniture.
“You really handled the renovation yourself? It’s beautiful!”
“Yep! Every single tile was bought by me~”
Mentioning this filled Ning Chu with pride. Though it was tiring during the renovation, having set up her ideal little home by hand gave a sense of accomplishment unmatched by any simulation building games.
“Do you want some milk powder? Pregnancy milk powder, bought by Wen Yang, still unopened.”
She entered the kitchen, pulling out a can of milk powder from underneath the cabinet, turning to ask.
But Yan Xinya came bounding over, whispering and looking sneakily towards the living room: “Do you have any drinks?”
“I’m preparing for pregnancy… Wen Yang has already forbidden me from drinking anything.”
Ning Chu sighed, but then her expression shifted to a mix of excitement and panic as she crouched down and pulled out a bag of milk tea powder from the very bottom of the cabinet: “But don’t tell Wen Yang~”
“Milk tea!”
“When Wen Yang’s not home, I make myself milk tea. If I’m caught, I’ll just say it’s milk; I can’t let it slip.”
Yan Xinya nodded vigorously, her wolf ears flopping up and down.
“How long have you been pregnant? To keep it a secret, saying you were looking for work instead.”
“Surprise~ Didn’t it shock you at first?”
“A shock would be more accurate.”
The wolf girl leaned against the kitchen sliding door, keeping watch for Ning Chu while chatting: “Almost five months. I only found out when I felt uncomfortable and went to check last month.”
“You’re so carefree, but what about your boyfriend? Is he as careless?”
“He’s a cop, and I barely see him.”
Ning Chu murmured enviously, “Cops are great~ they offer so much security, plus they have a stable job.”
“How did you meet him?”
Yan Xinya bashfully scratched her head, her cheeks flushing pink: “I told you before when we took the graduation photos, right? When I was a fitness coach, a guy pursued me persistently, but I couldn’t beat him in the ring… that was him…”
“Eh~ You had to beat him first?”
“Not really, remember Qian Qian became a cop as well? They end up being colleagues. They started hanging out together, and that’s how they got to know each other.”
Sounds like a pretty fated connection, huh?
With Yan Xinya’s rare rosy cheeks, I bet not only could she not beat him in the ring, but she probably gets bullied at home too. It’s hard to find someone who can fully put the rambunctious Husky in check.
Ning Chu suddenly asked, “Is it big?”
“We’re about to become mothers~ Don’t you think I’d still be shy?”
“Then spill the details~”
Yan Xinya’s embarrassment deepened, her eyes darting to the marble countertop: “Seems like you guys have been having some fun~ the kitchen smells like you two.”
“……”
“There’s even an apron. You didn’t only wear the apron, did you? I can picture it…”
Ning Chu rushed over, flustered: “Shut up! Don’t think about that!”
Yan Xinya feigned innocence; after all, she’s going to be a mother, her status has risen dramatically, even a Succubus might have a hard time handling it.
After they playfully bantered, the milk tea was finally ready.
Now that the wolf girl was five months pregnant, it wasn’t too cautious to sip a little during early and late pregnancy—drinking a bit wouldn’t hurt.
The two hid in the kitchen, secretly sipping their milk tea while stealing anxious glances at the living room, afraid of getting caught.
Leaning against the counter, Yan Xinya took a sip of milk tea and sighed contentedly before asking, “You two have been married for so long. Don’t you plan on holding a wedding?”
“We were trying to save up for a house first, but we’ve started getting things ready.”
“Why don’t we hold a joint wedding?”
Ning Chu showed a hint of interest.
But since they weren’t in the same city, organizing a wedding together would be quite troublesome.
“Let’s just forget it. The guest logistics would be a nightmare, and I can’t have it anytime soon—at least not for another six months.”
She initially wanted to ask Yan Xinya for pregnancy tips, but this silly Husky seemed to have fallen right into the trap and had nothing useful to share.
Meanwhile, having been preparing for two months, she took daily folic acid supplements, studied online for the best positions to conceive, cut out drinks and high-calorie foods, and aimed for a balanced diet, yet her belly showed no response whatsoever.
“Do you prefer a boy or a girl?” Ning Chu gazed enviously at Yan Xinya’s little belly.
Though she used to despise kids, perhaps due to hormones or age, she now found children increasingly adorable over the past few years.
“I’m fine with either, but maybe a girl? She might be quieter?”
She shook her head emphatically: “Not a chance! Look at yourself.”
And besides, there’s a high probability a girl would just turn out to be a little Husky; she had never seen a Husky described as “quiet.”
“They say daughters take after their dads~ what if?”
“What are you two drinking?”
The sudden question startled both Ning Chu and Yan Xinya, causing them to whip around and hurriedly hide their cups behind them.
Upon seeing Wen Yang, the two best friends almost spoke in unison.
“It’s milk!”
“She made me drink it!”
Ning Chu paused, looking at Yan Xinya in disbelief, then turned her embarrassment from being caught into anger, lunging toward her: “Yan Xinya!”
The wolf girl dashed out of the kitchen in an instant, running faster than one would expect, even while pregnant.
“You actually sold me out!”
Not having chased for too long, Ning Chu was snagged by Wen Yang, her collar caught in his grasp, and though she was fuming with the urge to chase after Yan Xinya, her slippered feet slipped on the smooth tiles, leaving her unable to move.
“Alright, she’s pregnant.”
“And I’m a pregnant woman!”
Yan Xinya hid behind her boyfriend, snickering mischievously.
“She doesn’t even look like a pregnant woman!” Ning Chu rolled her eyes angrily, “What if she slips one day? Always making a fuss.”
Li Han helplessly ruffled Yan Xinya’s hair: “I keep telling her, but she doesn’t listen to a word.”
The wolf girl rarely showed a girlish demeanor, enjoying the attention with her eyes narrowed, leaning into her boyfriend’s hand.
Ning Chu, no longer causing a ruckus, watched Yan Xinya from afar and couldn’t help but marvel: “She can actually have this side to her~”
In the past, she wouldn’t have imagined Yan Xinya as a devoted wife and mother, yet now that day didn’t seem too far off.
Besides, if she could transform from single to a pre-mom, it wouldn’t be too surprising if Yan Xinya could change as well.
