After Becoming Pregnant With The Empress Cat's Cub - Chapter 45.2

Lan Ye: … Better not make that gesture. With such a righteous face and such a righteous expression, doing that action was inexplicably jarring… And her “Hello, Sister” probably scared the Princess halfway across the kingdom, making her wonder if she had broken some sisterly heart.

Rin also looked at Lu Li and her gesture, subconsciously furrowing her brows. An action she found cute on Lan Ye suddenly felt very awkward when someone else did it… Also, even though she knew Lu Li was translating, she didn’t like her calling Lan Ye “Sister.”

The kittens on the ground were startled by Lu Li’s sudden loud voice and huddled around Lan Ye’s legs. Lan Ye looked at the new cats, petting their heads to comfort them. “Don’t be afraid, Big Sister will pet you.” Since they were Rin’s cat sisters, they were hers too.

The cow cats being petted widened their eyes in disbelief. It really did feel good!

Orange cat: “Meow meow~~~ Meow meow meow meow meow~~~~” Lu Li made the gesture. “Right, right? The human feels so good to pet~”

Lan Ye laughed. Her hands had always been for petting dogs, but she didn’t expect the techniques to be universal. She suspected the kittens in this world were starved for petting, she had only petted them once this morning, and they had been waiting for her ever since. They even brought their friends over to be petted.

She looked at Rin and was about to ask if she never petted her sisters when she heard Lola’s voice from the door. “Your Highness, Miss Lan Ye.” Lola had received word they were back. Seeing they hadn’t come in, she came out to check. Seeing Lan Ye crouching with the kittens, she wasn’t surprised, she had seen it this morning.

Lan Ye saw Lola and stood up, introducing Hakimi. “Lola, this is Hakimi. Could you find a place for her to freshen up? She’ll be staying for lunch with us.”

Lola immediately agreed. “Of course. I’ll arrange it.” She told Hakimi to follow her. Lola only realized after walking a few steps that she hadn’t asked the Princess for permission… she had subconsciously taken Lan Ye’s word as a command… She turned to the Princess and saw her nod slightly, as if approving the arrangement. Lola then sighed in relief and continued leading the way.

Rin didn’t want “No. 1” entering her bedroom, but since it was Lan Ye’s arrangement… as she had said, Lan Ye’s words were equal to her own.

Once the others left, Rin looked at Lu Li. “You go as well.”

Lu Li didn’t move and instinctively looked at Lan Ye. Lan Ye smiled. “Thanks for today. By the way, let’s exchange contact info. I’ll contact you directly next time I go out.”

Lu Li happily took out her work phone. “Sure!”

Then Rin saw her guard put Lan Ye’s contact at the top and mark it as an “Important Contact.” She looked at Lu Li’s face, which was beaming with joy, and felt something was off… This look, she seemed to have seen it on “No. 2″…

Rin looked at Lan Ye, who was looking down to save the contact. [Lu Li with the Awesome Voice]

Rin: … She didn’t know whether to feel relieved, at least it wasn’t “No. 3″… But “Awesome voice”? What was so awesome about it?

Her gaze fell on the human’s phone. Rin suddenly became curious, what was her own contact name in Lan Ye’s phone? What did Lan Ye think was “awesome” about her? The moment the thought appeared, Rin realized she was being silly… Why would she assume her contact would follow the same format as an unimportant person… She must be different.

She stared at Lan Ye’s phone, waiting for her to exit the screen so she could see her own contact name. But Lan Ye just locked the phone after saving.

“Lu Li, please look after these kittens. I have something to say to the Princess in private.”

“Meow meow meow meow!” The four kittens called out together, clearly reluctant to let Lan Ye go.

Lan Ye: “Be good. If you’re free, stay for lunch.” “Meow meow meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow~”

Lan Ye looked at Lu Li. With the kittens all speaking at once, Lu Li’s barely passing Level 6 Cat Language was a bit insufficient. She could only extract key information. “They asked how long you’ll be and told you to hurry up.”

An amused light flickered in Lan Ye’s eyes. “That’s hard to say.” Anyway, it wasn’t for kittens to see.

Leaving the kittens with Lu Li, Lan Ye pulled Rin and walked quickly toward the inner chamber. As soon as they entered, she pressed Rin against the closed door, one hand gripping her waist and the other braced beside her face.

A wall-slam (kabedon) pose.

Rin blinked at her. She was surprised by Lan Ye’s action but didn’t resist, on the contrary, she cooperated by taking a step back against the wall. Otherwise, with Lan Ye’s strength as an ordinary human, it would be almost impossible to push her.

She looked at Lan Ye, and Lan Ye looked back at her, those sparkling eyes suddenly becoming serious.

Rin: ?

“Look into my eyes!”

Rin: … Wasn’t she doing that already?

On the way back, during their casual talk, Lan Ye had figured out what felt wrong at the concert hall. From Rin running away after being kissed once, to Rin kissing her skillfully in public, that was too big a jump to be explained by just “having an epiphany.”

Like last night, suddenly kissing her in the dark could be classified as an epiphany, and afterward Rin had hurriedly carried her to the bathroom and closed the door… that was only slightly better than running away. Those changes were logical and gradual. Today’s action was a jump too large, a step was missing in between.

Generally speaking, to overcome the shame of doing something one finds embarrassing, one either has to do it until they are used to it, or have done something even more embarrassing that makes the original act seem like nothing.

Lan Ye looked at her, her gaze sharp. “Tell me, what did you do last night?” Rin: “Hmm?”

“Your kissing skill is also off. Last night you only knew how to lick me, but today you know how to suckle!”

With her IQ no longer affected by the excitement at the concert hall, Lan Ye realized the kiss was full of flaws! “Tell me, did you secretly practice behind my back last night?!”

Rin: !

It must have been more than just practicing kissing. She must have done something even more embarrassing than kissing, which is why she adapted to kissing so quickly! Lan Ye looked down at her own body, recalling the details of when she woke up this morning.

“I remember I wasn’t wearing clothes when I woke up… but I was wearing them last night while waiting for you to bathe… then I fell asleep while waiting… I should have been wearing my nightclothes when I slept…”

At this point, Lan Ye looked back up at Rin and successfully caught a flicker of guilt in those amber eyes. “You took off my clothes?”

Rin: “No, you took them off yourself.” Lan Ye looked skeptical. “You saw me take them off?”

Rin: “No.”

Lan Ye: “Then how do you know I took them off myself?”

Rin: “Because I didn’t take them off.”

Lan Ye: “Then how did you know I wasn’t wearing them? Why didn’t you question my premise of waking up naked?”

Rin: “Because… I trust you.”

Lan Ye’s hand beside Rin’s face suddenly slapped the door, making Rin’s heart skip a beat! Lan Ye snorted, her wise eyes had seen through the Princess’s facade! She was sure Rin had looked!

“Tell me, besides looking, what else did you do?!”

Rin’s eyelashes trembled, and her hands at her sides subconsciously clenched. Her thoughts uncontrollably drifted back to that dream from last night… to the body she had accidentally touched. Rin’s heart started to race! She tried to stay calm, but just as she was about to say “nothing,” the human spoke again.

“If you lie, the place you touched… will grow black hair in the future. Long and coarse, very prickly!”

Hearing this, Rin instinctively looked at Lan Ye’s chest. The image Lan Ye described popped into her head, she saw the tempting curves, but as soon as her hand touched them, long black hairs sprouted out. Rin’s eyelashes fluttered rapidly in shock.

Lan Ye followed Rin’s gaze to her own chest. Her eyes lit up, the case was closed.

“So it was the chest!”
