The Ger's Contract Marriage [BL]
Chapter 358: One Wish

Chapter 358: One Wish

The two children seemed noticeably less reserved now, and Xu Feng found himself wishing he could move more freely—not that his current perch against the solid support of Xuan Jian was uncomfortable by any means.

However, considering the seating arrangement, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Xuan Yang. The man maintained a rigid pose, and Xu Feng wondered if Xuan Yang was always so strict with his body.

While he knew his snake young master was proper and scholarly, the level of formality seemed almost excessive. Regardless, Xu Feng couldn’t imagine Yang’s back wasn’t beginning to ache from holding such a statuesque pose.

In an attempt to make things more comfortable, Xu Feng extended his arm with another round of his playful "come hither" motion, coaxing Xiao An and Xiao Momo a bit closer.

The two children obediently shifted from the edge of the bed to the middle, slowly—Xiao Momo displaying a few lively bounces in the process.

At least the little ger was acting his age.

Glancing over his shoulder, Xu Feng appealed to Xuan Jian for support, and after a small sigh, the iceberg relented.

Xu Feng was accustomed to having his whims catered to, and his ever indulgent lovers were spoiling him silly once again.

Nonchalantly, Xu Feng entertained the notion that he wasn’t exactly planning to become a parent in the future, if that was even a feasible option. As far as he was concerned, he might as well soak up all the pampering he could get right now.

With wide eyed curiosity, the two children observed as Xuan Jian skillfully maneuvered Xu Feng—who had his eyes shut tightly—into a sitting position.

Whatever thoughts were going through their minds, the silver haired uncle couldn’t even sit up on his own, and beads of sweat formed from the exertion of sitting up with assistance.

"Are you comfortable?" Xuan Jian whispered into his ear as they settled into their new seating arrangement. "Mhmmm."

Slowly opening his eyes, Xu Feng gazed down at the two intrigued children, only to feel a firm grip on his hand from the right side of the bed. Xuan Yang had finally joined them on the bed, showing more concern for Xu Feng than maintaining his usual scholarly appearance.

His reassuring strokes on Xu Feng’s hand conveyed more comfort than words ever could.

Despite the impending labor looming over him, Xu Feng found joy in conversing with the two children. They served as a delightful distraction from more negative and uneasy thoughts.

The reality was sinking in—he was likely going to go into labor soon, an event that couldn’t be postponed.

The presence of his two lovers made him feel guilty for putting them through this ordeal. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to make things easier—he couldn’t magically become better at birthing twin eggs, a deadly task for most if not all gers.

Again, labor couldn’t be pushed back indefinitely.

"Xiao An," Xu Feng called out, and the little girl responded crisply, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Yes, sir."

"Xiao Momo," Xu Feng couldn’t help but grin as he called to the little Momo. This Momo might not be his Momo, but it was still comforting to have a Momo here with him.

"Yes, swir," Xiao Momo answered, giving his full attention to the silver haired uncle who was sweating a bit too much.

"This...one," Xu Feng rolled his eyes, addressing the two children. They were calling him sir, and he wasn’t exactly sure what would be a more appropriate title. Yet, he wasn’t quite pretentious enough to refer to himself as a sir, even though he knew how to tap into that young mistress personality a little too easily!

Whether it was to put a nosey mother in law in place, or to anger an annoying love rival in town, his young mistress persona had been very helpful

With an air of casual admission, Xu Feng leaned in slowly and pointed to himself, treating the two children to a huge secret. "This one will share a big secret with you. Are you ready?"

The children exchanged glances before nodding enthusiastically. Curiosity, as the saying goes, really did kill the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

"I have an egg in my belly." The children nodded, their father being a midwife meant they had encountered pregnant gers before. This was not a secret.

While they might not be permitted into the homes of wealthier gers, they had witnessed poor gers and widowed gers pregnant with only one or two rooms in their house.

Although being allowed into this house, even this room alone was a completely new experience. Everything was so big! Even the people!

"But," Xu Feng continued, "I don’t just have one egg in my belly, I have two!" The girl furrowed her brows, she was only a few years old but likely already absorbing the trade from her dad.

Two eggs, she knew that wasn’t a good thing.

On the contrary, Xiao Momo was ecstatic about the news, clapping in excitement before realizing how loud he was and sheepishly balling up his hands.

Although Xu Feng wanted to reassure the children, his limited movement restrained him.

Instead, he beamed a smile their way before pressing on with his purpose. "Because this... one... has two eggs in his belly," he pointed at his swollen abdomen with his free hand, allowing Xuan Yang to clutch at his right hand, and Xuan Jian to continue rubbing his back gently.

"I may not be able to stay with my eggs until they hatch and grow nice and big like you."

At this, Xuan Yang’s grip tightened, and Xuan Jian’s movements paused. Xu Feng could feel their pain, the longing to make this possibility an impossibility.

He didn’t want to rub anything in their faces, but with the two young children now residing in Nanshan Estate with their full approval, he was aiming to ensure they got along with his children, even in his potential absence.

It wasn’t about being pessimistic, but about ensuring his children would be taken care of from all possible angles.
