Ancient Eden - Chapter 140
Chapter 140
Mu Qing soon realized that something like a pregnancy could not really be hidden from him at all.
The most immediate reason for this was that during the night, when he wanted to get on her, she wouldn’t let him. After a few times, she had to come close to his ear and whisper the news to him. Of course, she didn’t forget to emphasize “just maybe” at the end.
But Li Mang probably only heard the first half of her words, perhaps the latter part did not even enter his ears, or he heard it but automatically ignored it. After a short moment of astonishment, his next action really startled her. Unexpectedly, he suddenly put his hands on the stone couch, and flipped his whole body upside down, with his head down and feet up on the rock wall, before he then lifted his face toward her and started to giggle.
He actually used such childlike behavior to express his joy. This made Mu Qing laugh and feel happy. This purest joy coming from him infected Mu Qing. Her heart also filled with the fullness of happiness. She couldn’t help but mischievously extend her hand and tickle his armpit a little, Li Mang felt ticklish and rolled down on his back and embraced her fiercely before kissing her cheek.
He had just shaved his beard the day before, and the new stubble pricked her, which was both itchy and painful, but she could not help but laugh while evading him, but how could she evade him ? However, when she saw him about to pin her down, she hastily shouted “be careful of the child”, and he spared her, but he was unwilling to let go of her, so he made her lie on his side, wrapping one of his arm around her, while his other hand gently stroked her small belly.
The playfulness of the two of them startled Xiao Hei which was dozing by the heated wall. Xiao Hei suddenly probed his head out from the turtle shell and stared at them for a while, but it quickly lazily shrank its head back in. Xiao Hei was really not surprised by such scenes. Apart from seeing his male master perform a handstand, which was quite new, the rest was all too clichéd and could not attract its interest.
She knew she was indeed pregnant. Because from that day on, eating became a big problem for her.
Not to mention eating, sometimes even smelling the scent of pickled fish or dried wild mushrooms in the soup made her feel nauseous, while it was still okay for dried fruits or wild vegetables. Seven or eight days went on like this, where there was no improvement at all regarding her pregnancy vomiting.
She knew that this was a normal phenomenon in the early stages of pregnancy, so she wasn’t very worried, and after vomiting, she tried to force herself to eat more or less, hoping that after getting through this period of time, it would get better. But Li Mang looked very worried, and sometimes she had to comfort him instead.
Mu Qing not only had a poor appetite, but she was even more sensitive to the cold compared to before. This day, she was wrapped in the tiger skin, nesting there, feeling drowsy, when she suddenly felt a wave of coldness coming in. When she opened her eyes, she saw Li Mang lifting the curtains and coming in, followed by the bouncing Xiao Hei. At another glance, she saw that he was actually carrying two fish in his hands.
Although the fish was frozen stiff, one could tell at a glance that they were fresh.
Mu Qing stared at the two fish in surprise. She didn’t expect that Li Mang would go out early in the morning to get fresh fish.
The streams in their valley had pretty much all frozen up long ago because they were relatively shallow, so they could not catch fish. He couldn’t have gotten fish unless he walked in the snow as deep as his thighs to the Great River about a kilometer away and broke the ice to catch and bring them over.
Seing his hair, eyebrows and whole body stained with snow that had yet to melt, she felt warmth in her chest, the words coming out of her mouth became a soft complaint: “Why did you spend so much effort to catch two fish? The snow is so thick, what if ……” she could not say the following words.
