Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 684

Chapter 684: A Man and a Woman, Alone in the Same Room

Bai Qingqing said, “When the rain subsides, I’ll bring them out in these clothes. I’m sure they’ll look hilarious. Hahaha…”

Winston had no idea how to respond and merely gazed at her dotingly. He raised a hand and, after some hesitation, finally rested it on the top of her head and gently stroked it.

Bai Qingqing looked up at him and smiled as she caressed her tummy. “How long are they going to be gone for this time?”

Winston said, “As they’re bringing along a female, they won’t be able to move very fast. I think it’ll take them half a month.”

“So long?” Bai Qingqing murmured. She then walked to the bed and sat down, lowered her head, and started talking to An’an.

With nothing to be done, Winston sat down by her side.

There was a high possibility the child was Winston’s. Bai Qingqing lowered her head, her vision falling upon his large hand. She asked softly, “Do you… want to touch it?”

“Mm?” Winston paused in surprise, the hand lying by his side moving a little.

Bai Qingqing reached out, picked up Winston’s hand, and placed it on her belly.

With their hands stacked together, Winston’s hand was nearly twice as large as Bai Qingqing’s. His tanned skin made Bai Qingqing’s petite hand appear all the more exquisite and fair like that of a child’s.

Bai Qinqing was shocked by this stark contrast. She was about to let go when coincidentally, An’an, who had been quiet for the entire day, suddenly shifted.

Winston’s hand stiffened, and he immediately pulled it back and stared at Bai Qingqing’s belly in disbelief.

Bai Qingqing also retracted her hand and said happily, “You felt it too, didn’t you? Though Parker touches my belly every day, he’s never once felt the baby move. The moment you touch it, the baby moves. Haha, if he finds out, I bet he’ll be furious.”

With a choked feeling in his throat, the palpitation he felt at that moment flustered him. Only after staring for a good while did he find his voice. “An’an… moves like this all the time?”

Tickled by his silliness, Bai Qingqing stifled her laughter and said, “Mm, but she doesn’t move all that much. Harvey said An’an isn’t in good health…”

As she spoke, she started feeling glum. She forced a smile and said, “I drink medicine every afternoon now, as well as green bean soup. Oh right, remember to help me brew the medicine later. I’m not too sure how to go about doing it. You can check with Harvey.”

“Mm.” With a solemn expression, Winston placed his hand upon her belly once more.

As though connected by telepathy due to their blood ties, Winston felt his heart palpitate once more. An’an, too, fidgeted a little.

Bai Qingqing was now all the more certain that this baby was Winston’s.

If so, she calculated that she was more than six months pregnant now, and in another four months, she would be due to give birth. It would probably be snowing then.

Winston sat beside her for a good while before laying an animal skin over her body and heading down the tree to brew the medicine. When it came to bedtime, Bai Qingqing was worried that her cubs would sneak an attack on her again, so she chased them downstairs.

So, Bai Qingqing and Winston were the only ones sleeping together at night.

Both felt uneasy. The pregnant Bai Qingqing got drowsy quickly and dozed off first. Only then did Winston manage to relax and gradually fell asleep with his spouse tightly held in his arms.

…

Somewhere situated at the foot of a hill and beside a stream, smoke could be seen rising. The green hills and blue waters formed a breathtakingly beautiful paradise-like landscape painting.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The sounds of torrential rain masked the noises of movement on land.

A yellow figure leaped down from the tree and transformed into a human in mid-air, before pouncing at a black wolf completely soaked from the rain.

Kacha! A golden-haired youth raised his head and revealed a gorgeous face. With an insolent smile, he tossed aside the corpse of the wolf beastman he was holding.

“Hmph! Finally took care of the last one.” Huffing and puffing, before the golden-haired youth calmed his breathing, he turned his head and said, “Hey, Curtis! Can you be faster?”
