Chapter 509: My Period Didn't Come Last Month, I Might Be Pregnant
After 99 Rejections, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
No way I'd let any other guy get their hands on my little sister.
"I think so too. If some guy really wants to marry her, I'll definitely have to test him properly," said Leng Ruoli, thinking exactly like a sister-in-law.
Jiang Muye burst out laughing. "We really are family—we're even thinking the same thing. I suddenly feel sorry for my future brother-in-law. He'll have to face her parents' tests, and ours too."
"Of course. She's our most precious little sister." A sweet smile rippled across Leng Ruoli's face.
She leaned against Jiang Muye's shoulder and poked his cheek with her finger. "Say, if my mom gave me a little sister, what would you do?"
Jiang Muye's eyes went wide at that.
What the hell?!
His father-in-law really knew when to act.
The old blade was as sharp as ever!
You'd never be able to tell—so the Akina Mountain God of Racing was actually his father-in-law. As an Old Driver himself, Jiang Muye was completely willing to admit defeat.
Who could possibly beat his father-in-law's speed? It was true: old ginger is spicier.
"Your mom can still have kids?" Jiang Muye asked in astonishment.
"Why couldn't she?" Leng Ruoli muttered. "She's only in her forties…"
"Really pregnant? No way! We don't even have a kid yet, and now you're about to get a little brother or sister? That's too much! No, we're going home—we can't lose to them!"
Jiang Muye was itching with impatience and instinctively grabbed Leng Ruoli's wrist.
Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. She leaned in and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Who said we're losing to them?"
"What does that mean?" Jiang Muye asked.
Leng Ruoli said shyly, "My period hasn't come this month. My mom isn't pregnant, either—I just thought it'd be nice if she and my dad were playing games right now. What if old feelings reignite and she gets pregnant…"
"It hasn't come?" Jiang Muye was stunned.
Leng Ruoli nodded, her shyness deepening. "Maybe…"
"Let's go!" Jiang Muye grabbed the coat he'd taken off, then pulled Leng Ruoli's wrist, ready to leave.
"Why are we still going?"
Jiang Muye said happily, "We're going to the hospital right now."
"I'm not even sure yet, and it's nighttime, you dummy—if we're buying anything, it should be a pregnancy test!" Leng Ruoli said shyly to Jiang Muye.
Only then did Jiang Muye come to his senses. He nodded immediately. "Right, of course—a pregnancy test! Then I'll go buy one."
"So we're not eating the oden? I'm still hungry." A sweet smile was on Leng Ruoli's face.
"Eat, eat, eat." Jiang Muye was completely indulging Leng Ruoli now.
He fed her the fish balls himself, and Leng Ruoli happily bit into one. Their eyes met, and her smile was especially radiant and happy.
Jiang Muye was overjoyed inside as well.
Perhaps he really was about to become a father.
—
"Welcome, what would you like to buy?" The clerk's crisp voice rang out.
Jiang Muye pulled a bashful Leng Ruoli into the store.
【Congratulations, Host. Check-in location successful. Obtained 500 Grit Points. Luck doubled.】
After hearing the System's words, Jiang Muye's mood soared.
If the System said so, it proved that good news was near.
He was definitely going to be a dad.
Carrying his joy, Jiang Muye said to the clerk, "Give me pregnancy tests—ten of them, the most expensive kind!"
The clerk was dumbfounded.
Leng Ruoli tugged at Jiang Muye's arm and reminded him with a smile, "That's too many. One is enough."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Jiang Muye nodded, doting on Leng Ruoli completely.
He figured testing so many times would wear her out.
So Jiang Muye bought a single pregnancy test. After paying, they found a public restroom.
Leng Ruoli held the pregnancy test shyly. "I'm going in."
Jiang Muye laughed heartily. "Go on in."
He was overjoyed right now.
He was about to become a father.
How could he not be happy!
Although this day had come a little early, Jiang Muye was already prepared to be a dad.
Heh heh, with a child, it'd be a happy family of three from now on.
When he thought of himself as a stay-at-home dad carrying the baby, holding the little one while taking his darling out to play, his heart felt all warm and fuzzy.
Jiang Muye rubbed his hands outside the restroom, waiting excitedly.
He paced back and forth, and after waiting quite a while, Leng Ruoli still hadn't come out.
If it weren't the women's restroom, Jiang Muye would have barged in.
Why wasn't she out yet?
Jiang Muye was burning with anxiety, and just then Leng Ruoli stepped out of the restroom.
But there wasn't a trace of joy on her face—instead, her eyes were full of disappointment.
"What's wrong?" The smile on Jiang Muye's face gradually faded.
"It seems not…" Leng Ruoli puffed out her cheeks.
"Not?" Jiang Muye could hardly hide his disappointment as Leng Ruoli handed him the pregnancy test.
Jiang Muye looked at the pregnancy test—there was only one red line.
It clearly had to be two red lines to count as pregnant.
"Not pregnant." Jiang Muye nodded. Seeing Leng Ruoli looking a bit upset, he immediately perked up. "It's fine, we're still young. You're not pregnant now, but if anything, you might be in a few days."
Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye's comfort and nodded.
Afraid that Leng Ruoli would feel sad looking at the pregnancy test, Jiang Muye tossed it into the trash can beside them.
As soon as it was thrown into the trash, the pregnancy test slowly began to change from one line to two, and the originally faint line now became very clear.

After returning home, Leng Ruoli leaned on the sofa, feeling gloomy.
Seeing this, Jiang Muye reached out and rubbed her head. "Don't be unhappy. Worst case, we start taking folic acid now and work hard tonight."
Leng Ruoli's curled eyelashes fluttered, and with a slightly aggrieved little sob: "I really thought you were going to be a dad."
"I know." Jiang Muye leaned over and hugged Leng Ruoli. "Alright, be good. Maybe the child just wants to play a few more days before coming. He doesn't want to be an unmarried baby either—isn't it better to have a child after we're married, all proper and legitimate?"
Leng Ruoli's delicate body nestled affectionately in Jiang Muye's embrace, and listening to his magnetic voice, her mood gradually eased. She lifted her little face. "Then I want to eat oranges."
"Sure." Seeing Leng Ruoli's expression clear up, Jiang Muye immediately brought an orange over, peeled it himself, took out the segments, and fed them to Leng Ruoli one by one. "Here."
Leng Ruoli smiled and ate them.
Her face was full of satisfaction.
She ate just like a giant panda, cute and charming.
Watching her eat the orange with such relish, Jiang Muye lowered his head and ate a segment himself. "Let me have a taste—it should be pretty sweet."
Jiang Muye put the orange segment into his mouth.
The moment he ate it, his face twisted from the sourness. "It's so sour!"
"Sour?" Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye in confusion.
Jiang Muye nodded. "Don't you think it's sour?"
"Not sour." Leng Ruoli said, and tossed a few more segments into her mouth.
Jiang Muye was completely dumbfounded.
The orange was extremely sour, yet Leng Ruoli was eating it with relish.
Was there something wrong with his sense of taste, or was there something wrong with hers?
