Chapter 438: Revised: Chapter 433 Fully Exposed
The phone rang. Bi Xia frowned, burying her head in the pillow, and reached out to grope around the nightstand, but couldn’t find it.
Suddenly, a cold rectangular object touched her cheek, and the deafening ringtone sounded in her ear. Bi Xia mumbled something, half-awake, picked up the phone from her cheek, and answered without looking.
"Hello..."
"...Hey~" A very gossipy voice came through. If it were on WeChat, Bi Xia believed the other party would definitely send a "gossip.jpg" meme.
Yawning lazily, Bi Xia half-opened her eyes to glance at the caller ID, and then reluctantly put the phone to her ear, "Mom..."
Xia Shi giggled at home, cooking while chatting on the phone, "Is my little baby awake?"
What little baby...
Bi Xia hummed, without opening her eyes, habitually shifted her body, and then lazily rolled over. Who would have thought that halfway through the roll, she’d feel herself falling off the bed. Her eyes instantly widened, and just as she was about to fall, a pair of big hands caught her around the waist, pulling her into a warm and solid embrace.
Half-awake and scared, Bi Xia stared blankly at Qin Zhan lying beside her. Qin Zhan looked at his sleepy little companion, raised an eyebrow, smiled slightly, kissed her on the forehead, and then pointed to her still-ringing phone.
Bi Xia came to her senses, suddenly feeling at ease. She listened to Xia Shi talking on the other end while lifting her head to kiss Qin Zhan on the chin.
"Xiaxia, did anything happen last night?" Xia Shi, dishing up the breakfast she had made, teased.
Recalling how she almost spilled all her secrets last night due to something her mom had said, Bi Xia rolled her eyes, "Mom, if you’d had a drunken fling and had me, there’s no way I could have a drunken fling and make a kid for you to call you grandma."
"Unless you’re really in a hurry to become a grandma."
Xia Shi paused in her actions, suddenly shouting, "No way! I said absolutely no way, Xiaxia! You tell Qin Zhan, he can mess around all he wants, but I’m still young. I can’t be a grandma so soon!"
Bi Xia rolled her eyes again, "Then can you stop giving bad ideas?"
Her sleepy face was expressionless, her brows showing the annoyance of being disturbed from sleep. She pouted slightly, rolling her eyes impolitely, yet every move she made was extremely cute to Qin Zhan, and he never got tired of it.
Xia Shi chuckled, "This is my first time being a mother-in-law; I’m excited."
"Oh great queen mother, please don’t," Bi Xia buried her head in the blanket, "Your excitement is causing trouble for your dear daughter!"
"Hahaha," Xia Shi laughed without a hint of guilt, "Can’t help it. I’m just worried that if A Zhan is really into guys, our pretty little girl Xiaxia will turn him straight, won’t she!"
At this point, Bi Xia felt utterly hopeless. Suddenly, Bi Xiaoyuan’s crying came from the other side, making Xia Shi yell before hurriedly saying, "Alright baby, mommy’s coming to soothe our little prince. You two sleep well~~~"
Bi Xia: ...
Throwing the phone aside, Bi Xia sighed silently. At this point, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist, lifting her up from the blanket.
Qin Zhan looked at Bi Xia with a faint smile, "Daughter?"
Bi Xia: ...
His eyes fell on her flat belly, smiling meaningfully, "Baby?"
Bi Xia: ...
Qin Zhan chuckled, lowering his head to whisper in her ear, "Baby, a lot happened this morning..."
Bi Xia: ...
Ahhh!!! Mom! Your call just gave away everything about your daughter!!!
Qin Zhan laughed softly, holding the child in his arms tightly, his eyes showing a touch of joy. Bi Xia looked at him, sighed after a while, then buried her head in his chest. Recalling how someone kept staring at her pendant last night, she jabbed at his firm abs hard, mumbling, "Didn’t you already know? Stop pretending."
"That’s right," Qin Zhan smiled, "The emperor can assure the mother-in-law that her Mr. Qin is definitely straight. Even if he were bent, because of you, he’d straighten out."
Unable to resist a smile, Bi Xia coughed slightly, "I know, dear consort, go to sleep. I have to get..." up...
Before she could get up, the big hands grabbed her tightly. Qin Zhan laughed softly, his morning voice hoarse, "Be good, mom said to take our time sleeping..."
Their gazes locked, revealing the affection in both their eyes. Suddenly, they laughed together and hugged each other tightly. Today’s weather... It’s a pretty good day...
