I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 60 – So, he had to be very, very cautious and careful (2)

Lu Beichuan walked over to the dressing table with the cup of warm milk in his hand. After putting the cup of warm milk down, he picked up the hair dryer that had been left on.

Glancing at Ye Zhen, who was hesitantly standing by the door, Lu Beichuan lightly said, “Come here.”

Ye Zhen felt extremely guilty. Lu Beichuan’s expressionless face didn’t give away a clue of what he was thinking, which made her feel even more apprehensive. She reluctantly walked over and was pressed into sitting back down at the dressing table. Lu Beichuan handed her the cup of milk.

She felt very doubtful about drinking this cup of milk. What if this milk was drugged again? What if she was really pregnant with Lu Beichuan’s child? If this was all true, wouldn’t she be giving Lu Beichuan, this beast, free reign to do whatever he wanted with her?

Seeing Ye Zhen’s hesitation, Lu Beichuan asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say that drinking milk will help you fall asleep, that’s why you want to drink it every night. Why aren’t you drinking it tonight?”

Ye Zhen naturally couldn’t expose herself by acting out-of-character. She forced herself to smile. Holding that cup of warm milk, she slowly drank it.

Waiting until after she had finished drinking all of the milk, Lu Beichuan picked up the hair dryer and carefully started drying Ye Zhen’s half-wet hair.

His hand gently moved her hair. He was very meticulous. The hair dryer was at the perfect distance so that it wasn’t too hot or not hot enough.

Ye Zhen was surprised

Lu Beichuan was coldly indifferent during the day. Why did it seem as if he had become a completely different person at night?

Faced with Ye Zhen’s surprised and nervous gaze, Lu Beichuan didn’t change his expression. He continued blow drying her hair for her.

When the soft air from the hair dryer blew over Ye Zhen’s soft, black hair, her hair would slip out from his fingers. He almost couldn’t keep her hair in his grasp.

It was just like her. As soon as he stopped focusing his full attention on her, she would try to slip away.

With a calm expression, Lu Beichuan thought that once he finished settling the Lu family’s issues, he would clear up the issues of switched identities and put an end to this woman’s ideas of leaving him.

By the time her hair was almost dry, Ye Zhen was feeling increasingly sleepy. As she yawned with tears almost coming out from trying to stay away, she thought that sure enough, this bastard had drugged the milk again.

From the mirror, she looked at Lu Beichuan’s strong, exposed legs. Her mind jumped to those dreams she had before. She couldn’t help but give up. What could she do right now? She was trapped. She had failed in running away. She might as well just succumb to sleep. Anyways, she was already pregnant, so she could just go along with where the situation took her.

“Sleepy?”

Ye Zhen nodded.

Lu Beichuan turn off the hair dryer. “Go to sleep.”

Ye Zhen unsteadily stood up. She felt unbearably sleepy. Right after climbing into bed, she felt the extremely comfortable soft mattress, and a familiar scent drifted into her nose. She contently rubbed her body against the sheets. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

Lu Beichuan turned off the bright lights in the bedroom and turned on the soft, dim bedside light. After standing by the bed for a while to look at Ye Zhen, he went into the bathroom and dried off his hair with a towel before getting into bed.

After sharing a bed with someone for over a month, it had felt weird sleeping in this bed by himself for the past several days.

With her sleeping by his side, his heart felt at ease.

A year ago, Lu Beichuan had gotten into a car accident on his way to the airport. He had almost died. Although he had survived, he lay in a hospital bed for almost a year as a half-dead person.

Later on, although he had awoken from his coma, he couldn’t feel anything below his waist. In order to avoid inadvertently alerting his enemies, he pretended that he was still in a coma. During this time, he experienced the professional caretakers and the servants’ perfunctory care, his grandfather’s sighing, his mother’s crying, and his father’s sanctimonious behavior.

His grandfather sighed because he thought the Lu family was losing a talented successor. His mother was crying for herself. Without a son, she didn’t know what her future would be like. His father’s sanctimonious behavior was because he wanted to celebrate that his scheme had succeeded.

The only exception to all of this was Ye Zhen.
