After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 38

With no other choice, Lin You took another shower before finally suppressing those messy thoughts.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Lin You no longer wanted to change clothes. She took out a pale pink-and-white bathrobe, put it on, and went straight out of the bathroom.

Fu Xinran, who had already rested well, stretched lazily and loosened her body. She used the remote control to open the curtains, letting the groggy sun that did not seem to want to work shine into the room.

Holding a book, with a cup of coffee placed on the table, she sat leisurely by the window and read.

When Lin You came out wearing the bathrobe, Fu Xinran could not help laughing again. The white book blocked the lower half of Fu Xinran’s face, while her eyes curved happily in laughter, like a little mouse that had stolen some joy. Cute and adorable.

Lin You scratched her head embarrassedly. Standing in place, even all ten of her toes were shyly curling inside her slippers. She was almost getting used to dying of social embarrassment.

But after Fu Xinran gave birth to the child in the future, she probably would not have to worry about the harmony between them. At least from the current situation, this body was especially healthy.

Lin You tucked both hands into the pockets of her bathrobe, her face also bright red. Her hair, which she had casually blow-dried a few times herself, was messily sticking up, giving her a somewhat disheveled beauty.

Seeing that she was embarrassed again, Fu Xinran smiled and reached out, beckoning to her. Only then did Lin You slowly shuffle forward.

The blush on her face grew deeper and deeper. If it got any redder, Fu Xinran felt Lin You would cook herself through.

A distance of only a few short steps was dragged out by Lin You for two whole minutes. Finally, she moved in front of Fu Xinran.

The two looked at each other, one standing and one sitting. But just based on aura alone, Lin You was the shy little wife.

Fu Xinran, on the other hand, looked like a queen. She leaned back leisurely and comfortably against the chair, a charming smile on her face. Her smile infected Lin You, who could not help smiling foolishly too.

Lin You reached her hand out toward Fu Xinran. Fu Xinran lightly raised her own hand and placed it into Lin You’s palm. The two swung each other’s hands in the air.

They were like two elementary school chickens dating for the first time, not knowing what to do and simply liking to hold hands.

Lin You held those tender, soft fingers, and her mood became incomparably comfortable. She wished she could go outside, put her hands on her hips, and laugh loudly three times.

Lin You occasionally sneaked a glance at Fu Xinran. If Fu Xinran did not notice, she would secretly laugh mischievously.

But once her eyes met Fu Xinran’s, she immediately looked away, too embarrassed to stare. Her hand, however, held on firmly.

Fu Xinran shook her arm, signaling for her to sit down. Lin You looked left and right. She did not want to sit on Fu Xinran’s other side, nor did she want to let go of her hand.

She stretched out one long leg and hooked the wooden leg of another chair. With a light pull, the original-wood-colored chair was hooked over.

After moving the chair several times, it was finally set straight. Lin You happily sat down. Fu Xinran’s eyes held a soft brightness. Just now, no matter how Lin You had fiddled with the chair and failed to set it straight, she had never once let go of her hand.

Fu Xinran lowered her head and read. Lin You raised her head and looked at her.

Lin You propped her chin on her hand and foolishly looked at Fu Xinran’s hand. After staring for quite a while, Lin You’s gaze moved downward and landed on Fu Xinran’s still-flat abdomen.

She felt a little expectant. This child was connected by blood to this body of hers. With her here, the child would definitely be born safely and smoothly. Those flea-like fellows would definitely disappear without a trace.

Fu Xinran wore a loose, casual, pale-green outfit. Her legs were crossed, and her elegant, slender calves rested on Lin You’s legs.

Under the dim sunlight, the contours of her beautiful, exquisite face were outlined. Her coldness had faded, leaving only a soft relaxation. Her beauty carried a trace of lazy comfort.

Her slender, fair fingers held the book cover. Every few minutes, a page would turn, and the sound of pages flipping softly echoed through the room.

Lin You watched every movement Fu Xinran made in fascination. The pheromones that had already calmed down still drifted uncontrollably toward Fu Xinran, surrounding her.

The clingy tea fragrance seemed as if it had been stir-fried with white sugar, carrying sweetness within its aroma, along with a trace of bitterness.

The corner of Fu Xinran’s mouth curved slightly. She gave a soft humph and did not plan to respond to this fellow. Otherwise, her shower would have been wasted again later. Since they could not do anything anyway, why torment themselves like this?

Lin You refused to accept that. She began acting shameless again. Over the past few days, she had more or less learned how to use her pheromones to interact with her partner.

Lin You took the originally scattered pheromones and, with her mind, rubbed them into a thin, long thread, moving it toward Fu Xinran. In reality, she was only gathering the pheromones and pouncing them in one direction.

If she encountered danger, a top-grade Alpha’s pheromones could suppress many people. If it was flirting, then it was different—lingering and entangling.

Lin You wrapped around the pheromone-blocking patch on Fu Xinran’s rear shoulder. Even without a response, she stayed there, unwilling to leave.

Fu Xinran shot her a coquettish look. Childish ghost. She still reached up and tore off the blocking patch, then released a thread of pheromones that twined together with Lin You’s.

“Don’t overdo it,” Fu Xinran warned her while holding back her shyness.

Lin You hurriedly nodded over and over. She only tightly hooked onto Fu Xinran’s pheromones, a full sense of security rising in her heart. She reached out and kneaded Fu Xinran’s leg. It felt especially good.

Thinking of the massage techniques she had used on teammates before, Lin You moved skillfully with moderate force. Feeling the strength on her leg, Fu Xinran moved the book away and let her gaze fall on Lin You’s hands.

A trace of doubt and curiosity flashed through her eyes. So Lin You even knew how to massage?

She had never known before. The current Lin You was very much like the Lin You from high school: free, confident, bright and sunny when she smiled, yet now filled entirely with her.

Fu Xinran put down the book in her hand and focused on enjoying Lin You’s massage. These past few days, she had always felt her legs were a little soft and swollen. Was she about to gain weight?

Fu Xinran suddenly pulled her leg back angrily, glared at Lin You, gave a soft humph, put on her shoes, stood up, and left.

Lin You looked at her empty hands in confusion. After decoding Fu Xinran’s pheromones, she only knew that Fu Xinran was angry.

All of it was: I’m very angry. Very angry. Don’t come provoke me. Don’t come, okay?

Lin You certainly did not know that when a girl was angry, it was best not to go forward, but also best to go forward early. Otherwise, the one who suffered would be herself.

Lin You’s intuition told her to hurry and chase after her, so Lin You pitifully followed. Wherever Fu Xinran went, she followed.

Fu Xinran stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked herself over from left to right. She discovered that her figure was still the same as before, very perfect. But in at most another half month, her lower abdomen would begin to bulge.

Fu Xinran narrowed her eyes and looked at the person standing behind her in the mirror. Lin You’s tall, slim body was shrinking behind her like a pitiful big dog. Even her tail was no longer wagging, and she was whining wrongedly.

Fu Xinran turned her head and glanced at Lin You’s thin, slender body. She looked refined and gentle, without any of the physique of the once-famous campus basketball star. If Fu Xinran’s pregnancy grew bigger in the future, would Lin You be able to carry her?

Fu Xinran’s gaze circled over Lin You’s body.

“W-what’s wrong?” Lin You shrank back. She felt a chill over her whole body and shivered.

“Hmph. How has your exercise been recently?” Fu Xinran coldly glanced at her.

Lin You trembled and blinked. “P-pretty good.”

She had a feeling Ranran was very dissatisfied with her figure right now. Lin You lowered her head and looked at herself, but did not find anything wrong. She was just… maybe a little too thin and weak, ha.

Fu Xinran stretched out her fair index finger and poked Lin You’s shoulder, then slowly moved downward. Her finger did not avoid the flat rise and fall in front of Lin You’s chest.

Lin You’s body stiffened. Holding her breath, she felt the finger moving over her body. The fingertip brushed across her through the bathrobe, yet she could still feel that ticklish sensation.

All her attention was beneath Fu Xinran’s fingertip. Her body unconsciously stopped breathing, and her muscles tensed.

“Why are you so cute?” Fu Xinran smiled beautifully. Looking at Lin You, who was so nervous and whose gaze followed her finger closely, she found her too adorable.

Originally, Fu Xinran had been very dissatisfied that in another half month, her figure would change. Her lower abdomen would gradually bulge, growing bigger and bigger until finally, her belly would be stretched like a ball.

Pregnancy could also cause stretch marks. Her body would become ugly, and her figure would go out of shape. She would no longer look as beautiful as she did now. Would Lin You let go of her hand again because her figure had changed?

Fu Xinran clenched her fist and leaned against Lin You’s chest. Lin You sensed Fu Xinran’s momentary unease. While patting Fu Xinran’s back to soothe her, she tightly held her waist.

“What’s wrong?” Lin You rested her chin on top of Fu Xinran’s head and asked softly.

“If I become fat and ugly, and my legs get thick, will you still like me?” Fu Xinran asked in a muffled voice, her head pressed against Lin You’s chest.

“Of course. The person I like most is you. Pregnant women are the most beautiful. I won’t have enough time to love you, so how could I dare not like you? You don’t know this, but I came to this world just for you.”

Lin You rubbed against Fu Xinran’s hair and spoke the plainest love words. As for how to say fancy love words, she had never learned. She could only follow her heart and tell Fu Xinran.

Fu Xinran’s lips curved. “Then I’ll barely believe you. In the future, I’ll still get angry for no reason. Can you tolerate me?”

Barely satisfied with the answer to the first question, Fu Xinran immediately threw out a second question.

“I can. And you’re only allowed to get angry at me. You’re not allowed to get angry at anyone else,” Lin You said domineeringly.

Fu Xinran rolled her eyes at her. She suddenly remembered that Lin You was still in the nesting period. What she said now could only be barely believed. No, Fu Xinran had to record it. If Lin You treated her badly in the future, she would take out this video.

Once she thought it, she did it. Fu Xinran told Lin You to wait where she was, then turned back to the table to get her phone and opened the recording function.

Lin You’s brows pouted slightly, and she looked at Fu Xinran in confusion as Fu Xinran pointed the phone at her.

“What’s wrong?” Lin You touched her head and wanted to walk forward to keep hugging Fu Xinran. Without holding her, she had no sense of security.

“Cough, nothing.” Fu Xinran looked at the slightly confused Lin You on the phone screen. Realizing what she was doing, she put the phone away unnaturally.

“Do you want to record a video?” Lin You perked up and asked thoughtfully. Fu Xinran tilted her head and looked at her eager appearance.

Fu Xinran was also a little tempted to try. She rubbed her fingertips together and ultimately took out her phone, happily aiming it at Lin You.

“I want to record what you just said. Hurry and say it again!” Fu Xinran twisted her body a little in embarrassment, her face red as she spoke to Lin You, who still wanted to come closer.

Lin You blinked curiously. “What should I say?” That innocent, adorable question made Fu Xinran pout and glare at her in annoyance. Cuteness overload. She withdrew her hand with a coquettish humph and no longer wanted to bother with Lin You.

“Haha, come on, let’s record together.” Lin You burst out laughing. She stepped forward, held Fu Xinran’s hand, and adjusted the recording mode to selfie.

Fu Xinran shyly leaned into Lin You’s arms. The hand holding the phone was wrapped by Lin You. Lin You’s low, magnetic voice sounded beside her ear.

“I, Lin You, hereby promise Ms. Fu Xinran:

“One, I will cherish her, love her, and protect her for my entire life.

“Two, my temper will never be directed at her.

“Three, nothing in this world will separate you and me. Even death won’t. I’ll be buried together with you.

“Four, your happiness will be the source of my happiness…”

Fu Xinran turned her head and stared blankly at Lin You. Beside her ear were Lin You’s love words, sentence after sentence. That low, affectionate voice bewitched her heart.

Fu Xinran looked intently at Lin You’s deeply affectionate and gentle face. Only belatedly did she realize Lin You was not incapable of saying love words. She simply had not been triggered at that point yet. In the future, Fu Xinran had to listen to more of them!

Under Lin You’s voice and breath, the tips of Fu Xinran’s ears gradually turned completely red.

The day passed with the two of them being clingy like this.
