Running Away While Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 24
“Could it be that it’s just relatively fond of cleanliness?” Luo Xingran watched the cat, her heart fluttering; its beauty had truly struck a chord within her.
Upon hearing this, the little Heavenly Dao nearly nodded in agreement. It meowed while circling around Luo Xingran’s legs.
“It looks like a Chinese Li Hua,” Luo Xingran crouched down, stroking the white fur of the little Heavenly Dao.
“Xiao Guai.” Pei Junzhuo’s simple two words caused Luo Xingran’s hand to pause instantly.
“I… I’ll wash my hands when I go back later,” Luo Xingran’s voice gradually grew quieter, her guilt painfully obvious.
“As you wish,” Pei Junzhuo looked at Luo Xingran with a smile, clearly not intending to take Xiao Guai’s feelings into consideration.
After all, back when Xiao Guai first arrived home, Pei Junzhuo had frequently competed with the cat for affection. The person and the cat had bickered incessantly.
Those moments of jealousy and “fighting for favor” had now become beautiful memories. Later, when something went wrong with Luo Xingran, Xiao Guai was the first cat to notice.
At that time, everyone else was kept in the dark. Only Xiao Guai, the cat, had been keen enough to discover that something was amiss.
It was because of this that Xiao Guai’s status in the household had always been very high.
“Kitty, kitty, you’re so beautiful,” Luo Xingran saw that the cat didn’t reject her and had already begun to pet it.
Feeling the warmth of the human on its body, the little Heavenly Dao let out a “tsk.”
Hmph, humans like this are truly frivolous.
“The cat is purring so comfortably!” Luo Xingran’s mood was visibly lifted as she watched the white cat expose its belly.
“If it’s this clingy, you should be careful—it might be pregnant or in heat,” Pei Junzhuo said calmly, immediately analyzing the more troublesome possibilities.
“Pregnant?” Upon hearing this, Luo Xingran’s brow furrowed tightly.
“That’s a terrifying thing. If it’s truly pregnant, that would be so pitiful,” Luo Xingran said while smoothing the cat’s fur.
“Whether for humans or animals, pregnancy is a form of torture. Poor kitty,” Luo Xingran looked at the white cat in her palm, her eyes filled with pity.
Feeling Luo Xingran’s touch, the little Heavenly Dao couldn’t help but let out a purring sound. If it weren’t for the fact that the Heavenly Dao of this world had died abruptly, perhaps she could have been a real little kitten.
With a master like Luo Xingran, life would probably be very happy.
Hearing Luo Xingran’s aversion to pregnancy, the little Heavenly Dao stiffened for a moment. After all, according to the script she had arranged for Luo Xingran…
Later on, Luo Xingran was supposed to become pregnant with Li Dan’s child, and after giving birth, she would spend the rest of her life with him.
However, she had indeed discovered that Li Dan was not a good person. Luo Xingran didn’t like him either, so forcing the two of them together didn’t feel like the right choice.
While enjoying Luo Xingran’s petting, the little Heavenly Dao thought about how to resolve this situation.
She was just one of thousands of “Little Heavenly Daos.” To restrain them, every Heavenly Dao possessed a book, and the things written within were unchangeable.
The little Heavenly Dao thought carefully; when she wrote the script originally, she seemed to have only written that Luo Xingran would “get pregnant.” She hadn’t explicitly written that the child belonged to Li Dan.
Thinking of this, the little Heavenly Dao’s eyes lit up, feeling she had found a loophole.
If she chose Luo Xingran as the pillar of the world, things would be much simpler. She would only need to let Luo Xingran be with someone she liked.
As for pregnancy—if it was the child of someone she liked, she probably wouldn’t be so repelled by it, right?
After pondering for a while, the little Heavenly Dao felt she was simply brilliant.
The next second, she heard words coming out of Luo Xingran’s mouth that made her question her entire existence.
“Junzhuo, actually, I’ve always wanted to talk to you. I think I like you. But I can’t tell what kind of ‘liking’ this is.”
As she said this, Luo Xingran’s voice was tiny, and her entire face turned pink. Clearly, she was too shy; she didn’t even dare to look up at Pei Junzhuo.
These whispered words landed in the little Heavenly Dao’s ears like a thunderclap.
What on earth? Luo Xingran likes Pei Junzhuo? The little Heavenly Dao felt herself falling apart.
Could it be that Luo Xingran is going to have Pei Junzhuo’s child???
Don’t be so ridiculous! This era hasn’t evolved to that degree yet!
It’s fine, it’s fine. Maybe Pei Junzhuo doesn’t think that way. Or maybe Luo Xingran’s ‘liking’ is truly just the kind of affection between friends.
The little Heavenly Dao comforted herself, turning to meow at Luo Xingran.
She attempted to use her own way to make the atmosphere less awkward for Luo Xingran.
“Then, shall we try and see?” Pei Junzhuo smiled tenderly, slowly approaching Luo Xingran and gently cupping her face.
“Some say the difference between a friend and a lover can be determined by a single kiss.”
“So, shall we try? Please feel for yourself… whether you dislike me.”
