After Becoming Pregnant With The Empress Cat's Cub - Chapter 21

With less than humble words and a wanton curve of the lips, she formed a vivid picture amidst the flickering lights and shadows.

Ju Rin’s gaze fell entirely upon that radiant, smiling face for a moment, a trace of distraction appeared in the depths of her amber eyes.

From the speakers overhead, a rigid official voice explained the success rates of various contraceptives on the market. The mechanical voice also reminded listeners that since there is a chance of failure, if one party becomes pregnant, they would need to take a specific type of medication under medical supervision.

Otherwise, if one “hits the mark” again during pregnancy, the resulting multi-fetal phenomenon would be quite troublesome.

It certainly was troublesome… Ju Rin felt very troubled right now. If she had the ability to turn back time, she thought she would definitely take the medicine.

No… if time could flow backward, she wouldn’t have let this happen at all.

She would have caught and locked up this human the very moment she intruded.

Thinking back to what the video had said, progestogens, secreted during emotional arousal.

Ju Rin had been avoiding this matter, refusing to admit it. This included the similar answer given by the doctor after her previous consultation at the feline general clinic, saying her reaction was an orgasm… She had remained skeptical, but looking at it now, the fact was… that human had made her lose control that night.

Looking into those bright, smiling eyes before her, Ju Rin suddenly had a question, what would these eyes look like when crying?

She remembered that night, she had wiped away her tears, but at the time, her own eyes were injured, and she hadn’t been able to see clearly what she looked like when she cried.

Since their reunion at the hospital until now, she was always smiling.

All sorts of smiles.

Now, she was smiling even more craftily, like a little fox that had successfully dug a pit.

Ju Rin snapped back to reality and looked at that hand, still flexed as if to prove her hand speed, still clawing at the air…

Whether a human’s hand speed was fast or slow, she didn’t want to know.

Having regained her senses, Ju Rin fully understood what the human wanted to do.

She reached out and grabbed the hand that was trying to prove itself, her warm palm completely enveloping the other’s fingers.

Her palm was scratched a few times, but Ju Rin endured the uncomfortable sensation.

“Unless you can pin me down.”

The implication was for this human to stop dreaming, it was impossible for her to lie down as requested and let her “practice” that not so slow human hand speed.

Lan Ye’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: “If I pin you down, it’s okay?”

Ju Rin’s brow twitched. This human really dared to think it, how did she feel it was even possible to pin her down?

Sometimes she was truly curious how this human could be so self-confident.

Lan Ye asked again: “Is it true? If I pin you down, I can practice however I want?”

This premise was an impossible one to fulfill.

Ju Rin gave a cold laugh: “As you wish.”

Lan Ye’s eyes grew even brighter: “Doing whatever I want is also okay?”

Ju Rin: “At your service.”

Lan Ye: “Deal!”

Now the problem was simple, she just had to think about how to pin the person down.

Lan Ye looked at Ju Rin: “Can you let go of my hand now?”

Only then did Ju Rin realize she was still holding the human’s hand. She released her grip, feeling a lingering heat in her palm.

It was so hot it made her feel a bit uneasy.

The moment Lan Ye’s hand gained freedom, she reached out to tickle the hollow of Rin’s waist.

Rin, who was still surprised at how she had forgotten to let go of the human’s hand, felt the movement and realized her waist was already being tickled.

She reached out again and grabbed the human’s hands.

This time, both of them.

“What are you doing?”

Lan Ye looked disappointed: “You’re not ticklish?!”

Hearing this, Ju Rin’s brows rose slightly, instantly understanding what this human was doing.

She actually thought she would be ticklish.

To think she could make her fall down using such a method was far too naive.

“Don’t waste your effort.”

As Ju Rin spoke, she placed the human’s hands back onto her own lap: “Sit properly.”

A flash of regret showed in Lan Ye’s eyes. She sighed, looked at Ju Rin, and spoke gloomily: “Have you ever heard a quote from a very great human?”

Ju Rin’s intuition warned her not to agree to the human’s words at a time like this, nor to be curious; this was very likely a new pit.

But seeing the human’s serious expression, Ju Rin still couldn’t help it: “Hmm?”

“There is no such thing as useful work in this world, if you do enough ‘useless work,’ it becomes useful.”

Ju Rin exhaled. It wasn’t an outrageous statement, but it was clearly wrong.

“Useless work remains useless even after it’s done, it has no use.”

As she spoke, she asked: “Which great human said that?”

She had studied existing human records and knew almost all the great figures among humans, but she had never heard this sentence.

Lan Ye smiled: “Your wife, me~”

Ju Rin: …

“Where exactly are you great?”

Lan Ye: “I don’t know that yet. The answer to that question will have to be left for future generations to summarize after my magnificent life has ended.”

As she spoke, she looked at Ju Rin as if she were being unreasonable: “Who summarizes their own greatness? Tsk tsk, that would be so narcissistic.”

Ju Rin: …

Once again, she felt a breath of air blocked in her chest.

Hadn’t this human just called herself great? Ju Rin was truly laughed into anger. So, this human was certain she would become someone great in the future?

And that wasn’t called narcissistic?

Just as she was about to speak, the light in the room suddenly dimmed. A voice rang out from the speakers above: “This video has now ended.”

Ju Rin and Lan Ye looked at the screen in front of them simultaneously, seeing four large characters flash across the electronic displa.【THANK YOU FOR WATCHING】.

Lan Ye was surprised: “It’s over just like that?”

As her voice landed, the electronic screen went dark, and the room lost its only light source, becoming pitch black.

Lan Ye turned to look at Rin, unable to see her form at all.

Ju Rin’s world turned black and white. The lack of light didn’t affect her vision, it just removed the color.

She turned to look at the human, intending to tell her to stay put while she went to turn on the light.

Unexpectedly, she met a pair of eyes that were even more crafty than when she was asking questions earlier.

The calculation within them was perfectly clear even in the darkness.

“I’ll go turn on the light~” Lan Ye stood up as she spoke.

Ju Rin didn’t know what this human was going to do now, but she knew that humans couldn’t see the path in the dark, which was dangerous.

Just as she was about to tell her to sit down, Ju Rin discovered that this human, keeping close to the stool, didn’t turn around but walked directly toward her.

Ju Rin remembered that the light switch was on the wall on her side.

“Ouch~”

Seeing the human lunging toward her, Ju Rin instinctively reached out to catch her.

Falling into Rin’s embrace, Lan Ye used both her hands and feet to sit on the other’s lap. While Rin’s hands were protecting her, she cupped Rin’s face and took a bite!

When the pain hit her lips, a flash of realization seemed to cross Ju Rin’s mind, she thought she knew what this human was up to.

But it was too late…

Lan Ye smacked her lips, intentionally making some sounds as if tasting something.

“These lips are quite soft, so why is your mouth so stubborn?”

“You can’t even say something nice.”

“And you’re always saying ‘no, no’.”

In the darkness, Lan Ye couldn’t see Rin’s current expression, but she could imagine it, it must be that look of surprise mixed with disapproval and dislike, with slightly knitted brows.

Lan Ye gently patted Rin’s face.

“Someone like you is bound to get slapped in the face sooner or later.”

Ju Rin grabbed Lan Ye’s hand and stared blankly at her, the sensation of being bitten seemingly still lingering on her lips.

This human… actually bit her!

What “slapped in the face sooner or later” she thought this human was the one who would be taught a lesson sooner or later, being so wanton, so…

Ju Rin was momentarily speechless.

With one hand caught, Lan Ye used her other hand to touch Rin’s mouth.

Wiping away the moisture she had left behind, Lan Ye laughed: “Next time you say something I don’t like to hear, I’m going to gnaw on you.”

She gave a light chuckle, using a threatening tone to speak ambiguous words.

“Just like in the video, I’ll hold you and gnaw~”

Ju Rin’s heart trembled. The images she had just seen surfaced in her mind, but the person in the video was replaced by the human before her, and her…

“Get down.”

Ju Rin furrowed her brows, about to scold this rude, shameless human who wasn’t following the agreement, when suddenly, a knock sounded at the door in the darkness.

“Is the video over? I’m coming in.”

The staff member at the door reminded the people inside. She knew the duration of the video and knew it should be over, but she wasn’t sure of the situation inside, so she spoke up to warn them first.

After all, that video was… rather special.

And those who came for the lesson were a newlywed couple.

The moment she heard the voice, Ju Rin had already stood up while holding Lan Ye, placing her back onto the side seat.

The staff member silently counted to three. Hearing no sound inside, she opened the door and flipped the switch on the wall.

The lights came on, and the room was restored to brightness.

In her line of sight, the human and the beastman who had come for the lesson were sitting properly in their chairs.

The human was smiling at her a bit foolishly, appearing very happy, while the beastman next to her looked stern, clearly in a bad mood.

What had happened?

The staff member silently checked their clothes, only the beastman’s shirt was slightly more wrinkled than when she had left.

It seemed like nothing had happened.

These two were actually… very self-controlled.

“By the way, if you need these course materials, they can be sent to you.”

As soon as she spoke, two voices rang out together.

“We need them.”

“No need.”

Lan Ye turned to look at Ju Rin, she was being stubborn again: “You’ve already learned everything?”

Ju Rin: …

She didn’t want to learn.

Lan Ye: “Have you ever heard of ‘reviewing the old to know the new’?”

Ju Rin: …Is that phrase appropriate here?

Lan Ye looked at the staff member: “We need them. In our family, I have the final say.”

In the end, the materials were sent to Ju Rin’s phone, since Lan Ye only had a children’s watch.

The children’s watch automatically blocked videos of this rating.

Next, the staff member talked about the welfare subsidies available to newlywed couples and tax incentives.

Marriage rates were too low nowadays, to encourage people to marry, the government had introduced many incentive policies.

Unfortunately, they weren’t very effective, not many “newlywed gift packs” were given out in a year.

Lan Ye listened very carefully. It was impossible to get married for these perks, but since she was already married, she might as well take the benefits.

Ju Rin wasn’t listening at all. She watched the human, who was once again scribbling furiously, and felt the sensation on her lips refuse to dissipate.

This human actually bit her…

Looking at the human’s mouth, which was constantly opening and closing as she silently recited something, a thought popped into Ju Rin’s mind.

Bite her back.

That way, this bold human would know how sharp a beastman’s teeth were compared to a human’s.

Then she wouldn’t dare to be so wanton again.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz

The vibrating phone interrupted Ju Rin’s thoughts.

Ju Rin snapped back, took her phone from her pocket, and glanced at it, it was Si Qing.

She hung up the call and sent a message back.

“What is it?”

Si Qing looked at the hung-up call, anxiously about to dial again when she saw the message from the Princess.

She wondered what she was doing, why she wouldn’t pick up the phone but could send messages.

This matter was a bit urgent, she felt it was better to communicate by phone and dialed again.

But it was hung up again.

With no other choice, Si Qing typed quickly.

【I received news that that Eldest Miss has come to the Central District again with her people.】

【I heard the King authorized it, they want to bring you back.】

【She brought many people and the most advanced weapons.】

【They set off after noon, calculating the time, they’ll reach the Central District soon.】

【Your Highness, where are you? I’ll come find you.】

After Ju Rin finished reading with cold eyes, she looked up at the human who was seriously taking notes.

After some thought, she sent an address.

After finishing the explanation of benefits, all the courses Lan Ye had booked were concluded.

After following the staff member to collect the newlywed gift pack, the two of them walked out of the Marriage Registration Office.

Lan Ye naturally walked toward where Ju Rin had parked, but after a couple of steps, she realized Ju Rin wasn’t following.

She turned around: “What’s wrong? Forget something?”

Ju Rin shook her head.
