Chapter 231: Two hundred thirty-one Is she being coquettish to herself? _1

Ji Pianran: "!!!!"

What is he talking about!

Me, pulling at him, calling out don’t go, hubby?

What does that mean?

Don’t go where?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.

Her face became instantly red, and her moist, bright eyes nervously stared at Gu Chen as she began to stammer involuntarily, "And, and then what happened?"

Seeing her so nervous, Gu Chen couldn’t help but find it somewhat funny.

He lifted his chin, his tone neither hurried nor slow, filled with teasing.

"You want to know?"

She nodded earnestly at Gu Chen. At this moment, she really was full of regret and anxiety, her heart pounding non-stop, incredibly flustered.

If only she had known, she wouldn’t have drunk. She clearly can’t handle her liquor, so why did she have to pretend to be tough?

She truly regretted it a million times over in her heart.

But there’s no medicine for regret in life, and regret was futile.

"Yes!"

She looked at Gu Chen eagerly.

Gu Chen blinked, his face showing an indescribable smugness.

"Then call me hubby again, let’s hear it?"

He truly hadn’t heard enough last night.

He wanted to hear more!

His wife calling him hubby, a hundred times wouldn’t be enough!

Ji Pianran’s eyelids twitched.

!!!!

Her eyes nervous yet struggling, her embarrassed face laid bare.

This man, why does he take an inch and want a mile?

After all, it’s easier for a girl to get embarrassed.

Though she had long admitted it in her heart, she just couldn’t say it out loud.

But if she didn’t say it, he wouldn’t continue.

She lowered her head, glancing at the tips of her shoes, looking truly conflicted.

Gu Chen was accustomed to understanding her. He knew that sober, she most likely couldn’t say it. He had only been teasing her and didn’t want her to feel awkward.

He chuckled and said, "If you don’t want to call, that’s fine, let’s go eat breakfast."

Having said that, he turned around, ready to serve the food.

Seeing Gu Chen about to walk away, Ji Pianran panicked in an instant.

She hastily reached out and grabbed Gu Chen’s arm, blinking her moist eyes.

Her face showed a mix of shyness and nervousness.

She pursed her lips, extremely embarrassed.

"Hubby."

The sound, like that of a weaned kitten, was tender and soft. Because she had just woken up, her voice was heavily nasal, sounding inexplicably coquettish.

As soon as the word left her mouth, Ji Pianran herself was startled.

That voice, what was going on?

It completely sounded like she was acting coquettish!

But she really wasn’t!

She wasn’t being coquettish!!!

Gu Chen was also startled in the moment.

His heartbeat skipped a beat, and half of his scalp tingled.

Was she, was she being coquettish with him?

He had just been joking; he didn’t expect Ji Pianran to actually say it.

Gu Chen was at a loss for what to do in that moment.

He swallowed hard, trying desperately to hide his nervousness.

He grinned at her nonchalantly, "Say it one more time."

Ji Pianran: "!!!!"

Taking an inch and looking for a mile!

But with the first time said, what if he didn’t talk anymore if she didn’t say it again?

Wouldn’t all her efforts have been in vain?

She gritted her teeth, resigning herself to fate.

If she has to say it, she’ll say it; after all, Gu Chen is her husband!

Calling him hubby is her rightful claim!

She had merely been unaccustomed to addressing him as such.

Although they were married, their relationship hadn’t reached such an intimate stage, so naturally, it was difficult to say.

But now, Ji Pianran had long since accepted Gu Chen in her heart.

He was indeed her husband; what was there not to say?

She bowed her head, slowly beginning to speak.

"Husband."

This time, her voice was even sweeter than before, soft and sticky.

When she looked up at him, her bright eyes seemed to hold a pool of water, and her expression was extremely shy.

Ji Chen’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

It’s deadly!

His wife was just too good at flirting.

He really couldn’t take it anymore.

Seeing Ji Chen speechless, Ji Pianran grew even more anxious and hungry, so she called out again, "Husband!"

"Husband husband husband husband!"

Looking both anxious and wronged, she was irresistibly endearing.

Ji Chen was now truly nervous.

He cleared his throat and pretended to be composed.

"Well, there wasn’t really anything last night. Uncle Guang drove us back. You and Sugar were asleep on the way, and I just carried you back, that’s all."

Finally, she heard what she wanted to know.

Ji Pianran blinked and eagerly looked up at Ji Chen.

"Then why did I ask you not to leave?"

She was really! Really! Really! concerned about where exactly she had held onto Ji Chen to keep him from leaving.

If it happened to be in bed...

She didn’t even dare to think further.

Clenching her hands, her breathing couldn’t help but become rapid.

She swore to God, she truly remembered nothing.

If, if there was a second child...

She had just had surgery for gastric polyps a few days ago and had taken so many medications.

Those drugs would definitely affect a child.

God, what should she do?

Seeing her about to cry in urgency.

Ji Chen’s tense heart instantly relaxed, "Don’t worry, it wasn’t on the bed, it was in the car!"

Upon hearing the word "bed," Ji Pianran’s face instantly flushed red.

Her heart raced.

That word really made people think too much.

But with him saying that, while she felt shy, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason Ji Pianran was so nervous was entirely because Ji Chen hadn’t made things clear.

She had thought that she had been in bed when she asked him not to leave.

But she hadn’t expected it to be like this!

Just this?

It was completely unexpected and a relief!

This man, he should have clarified earlier, he really scared her!

"I thought..." Ji Pianran let out a big sigh of relief.

She gently patted her chest and blurted out, then feeling it was inappropriate, she swallowed the rest of her words.

Sometimes people really have a tendency for self-torment.

When Ji Pianran was nervous, Ji Chen felt distressed, but seeing her relax, for no reason, he wanted to make her nervous again.

This mystifying behavior was something even Ji Chen didn’t understand.

But it didn’t stop him from doing it.

He looked at Ji Pianran with a teasing expression.

"Thought what? That you’re going to have a second child so soon?"

Ji Pianran: "!!!!!"

Was he the worm in her stomach?

How did he know everything she was thinking!

Damn hooligan!

She felt both embarrassed and angry, and if she didn’t leave soon, he would see right through her!

"I’m not going to bicker with you; I’m going to serve the food!"

After saying that, she quickly headed towards the kitchen with a red face and bowed head.

...

Ji Chen today still made matsutake ginseng porridge, along with a cold spinach salad.

The spinach was grown in his space; it tasted great.

It was nothing like the ones usually bought, which tend to be soft and mushy. Rather, it had a refreshing texture with a bit of vinegar, delicious and perfect with rice.

The taste was truly indisputable.

Even Sugar, who generally disliked vegetables, ate a lot, until her little belly was full and round, and only then did she contentedly put down her spoon.

After the family of three had eaten, they packed a lot of food to take to the father-in-law, then got into the car and set off for the hospital.
