Beauty and the Beasts

A few minutes later, the test result came out. The pregnancy test kit gave a positive—this meant that Bai Qingqing was pregnant.

Although it was still too early and the pregnancy test kit’s result might not be accurate, it was basically on the mark with Curtis’s judgment.

Bai Qingqing looked at him in disbelief for a while, before finally exhaling. “Seems like it’s good timing that we’ve come back today. If it’s a girl, no one will suspect that I had an affair while in a relationship with Winston.”

Curtis grinned, tapping his mate’s beautiful and perky nose tip with his cold finger. “It’s been ten days. You haven’t been feeling hungry?”

“Hungry? No.” As Bai Qingqing said this, she suddenly came to a realization. When she was pregnant with snake eggs, she’d need a lot of energy. Ten days should be about the time in which her appetite increased tremendously.

However, Curtis said, “You have to eat even if you aren’t hungry. Shall I go fry up some soy vinegar eggs for you?”

“Hey, if I’m pregnant with eggs, isn’t it too brutal for you to give me eggs to replenish nourishment?” Bai Qingqing said in amusement.

“Do you want to eat them or not?” Curtis looked at her in a composed state.

Bai Qingqing hesitated for one-thousandth of a second, then replied decisively, “I’ll eat! I’m pregnant now, I want to eat four.”

Soy vinegar eggs were food that Bai Qingqing had taken a great liking to recently, and she didn’t find two enough. Now, she finally had an excuse to eat two more.

“We’ll go with your wishes today, but this won’t happen again next time.” Curtis smiled, before going to the kitchen to fry the eggs.

That night, when Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai returned home at their usual timing, they saw Bai Qingqing alone. Mommy Bai found it strange and asked, “Why isn’t Winston around? Doesn’t he send you back every time?”

In these five years, Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai hadn’t really accepted Winston, but they had never had any contradictions with him either and had gotten used to his existence. They suddenly felt that something was missing when they didn’t see him.

Bai Qingqing gulped and said, “Dad, Mom, I broke up with Winston.”

“What?”

Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.

“What happened? Why did you guys break up? He still came over to our place last month.” Mommy Bai immediately walked over, took her daughter’s hand, and asked.

It was true that she was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law candidate, but she had the feeling that Winston wouldn’t leave her daughter and that their relationship was likely a done deal.

Mommy Bai didn’t expect them to suddenly break up. She felt that the possibility of her dreaming was higher.

Daddy Bai also asked solemnly, “Did you fall in love with someone else?”

Bai Qingqing was surprised, not expecting that Daddy Bai would think this. However, if the one in her stomach was a girl, then she could only take this blame.

“Dad, if Winston knows that you trust him this much, he’d definitely be very happy.” Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears.

Daddy Bai was instantly stumped. He paused for a while before asking, “What happened? Don’t let your mom and I worry.”

Having prepared a reply, Bai Qingqing said, “We broke up peacefully. There weren’t any great contradictions, and we’re still keeping in touch with each other. We’ll still be friends in the future.”

Mommy Bai was instantly furious. She pointed to Bai Qingqing’s face angrily and said, “Look at you. If there aren’t any contradictions, then why break up? It’s so hard to meet someone suitable. Look at how many people in their twenties or older aren’t able to find a satisfied partner even if they want to get married. They have to keep going on blind dates.”

Bai Qingqing suddenly felt that she was lucky. She’d probably never feel that kind of helplessness.

Nodding, she said, feeling at a loss, “I know, I know…”
