Chapter 104 - Bothersome thought (2/2)

The Emperor looked at her and then frowned down at her stomach, Lei Xing followed his gaze and looked at her stomach too and then back at him and in complete disbelief asked, ”Pregnant?”

The Emperor frown deepened and he glared up at her and chillingly asked, ”Are you?”

”Of course not!” She said appalled at the idea that he would even consider that.

{...What the hell dude?! Someone bio class...What exactly is going on in his head? And here I thought he was smart o_O)...}

The Emperor's face relaxed then he frowned again, ”Would you actually tell me if you were?”

Lei Xing looked at him, unamused and irritated, she flatly said, ”It depends.” Looking at the Emperor's deepening frown, she sighed and reassured, ”I am definitely not pregnant, it's impossible.”

The Emperor then smiled and smugly said, ”I thought so.”

Lei Xing shook her head.

{...He definitely is an idiot -_-)...}

The Imperial doctor eventually came and checked on her condition. As he checked her pulse, she saw the Emperor looking at her wrist suspiciously, probably still on the pregnancy idea so she asked the Imperial doctor, ”Is there anything abnormal about my pulse?” As soon as she said this, the Emperor looked off to the side, pretending not to be paying attention and Lei Xing snorted and shook her head.

{...Definitely an idiot...}

The Imperial doctor informed that her pulse was normal and but a bit labored due to the retching episode. He explained that her symptoms were probably temporary and nothing serious and must be a result of something she ate not agreeing with her body. And that adequate rest and time will resolve it and also prescribed some medication to alleviate the feeling of nausea and left.

Lei Xing frowned and cursed Princess Nalan in her head for her unwanted teachings and also cursed this body that was too weak to shut down over simple words. Then she also cursed her overactive imagination for painting very detailed pictures for her torture.

Lei Xing then turned to the Emperor who was still staring off to the side and said, ”Aren't you leaving?”

The Emperor turned to her with a raised eyebrow, and Lei Xing advised, ”Since I am unwell, you should go somewhere else.”

”I am fine where I am.” The Emperor said smirking at her, then he knit his brows, frowned and suddenly got up and announced, ”I am going to take a cold bath. You can go to sleep first.” Then he left in quick strides.

Lei Xing frowned but was too tired to be bothered. She told Xiao Ruo to put another blanket on the bed. Then she rolled herself in her own blanket. The Emperor returned to him a while later to find a Lei Xing roll in the corner of the bed. He snorted and then got in the bed and went to hug the roll. Lei Xing frowned when she felt his arm around her, she was already feeling constricted in the roll and this made it worse.

”Oh, you're still awake.” The Emperor said when he sensed her movement and leaned on his hand so he could see her face on the other side, she had her eyes closed but her eyebrows were twitching. He smirked and then asked, ”Isn't it hot in there? I was debating removing so you wouldn't feel suffocated.”

”This is how I normally sleep.” Lei Xing finally responded, burying her face in the blanket. The Emperor snorted as he thought she was really cute when nervous. He then moved her hair and gave her kiss on the cheek and saw her knit her brows and said, ”good night.”

Then he hugged the Lei Xing roll tightly and settled in to sleep behind her. After a while like that, Lei Xing finally could not take it, and groaned loudly. He moved his hand and she sat up and freed herself from the blanket, ”Fine.”

The Emperor smiled and said, ”Comfort is important.”
