The Eunuch is Pregnant Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Misunderstood

Dongfang Bai understood how Leng Jun Yu felt, so he was very stressed. Although Le Yao Yao’s injuries were external and her pulse had indicated the baby was fine, her situation may worsen if he doesn’t provide treatment soon.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai was trying to come up with an excuse to get rid of Leng Jun Yu. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xing walked into the room and respectfully bowed, “Prince, the Emperor wants to see you.”

“What?”

Leng Jun Yu’s brows furrowed and he quietly muttered, “It’s already so late. Why does my brother want to see me…”

Although he didn’t want to go, it was an imperial order, so he naturally had no choice.

“Make sure you take good care of him.”

“Of course.”

After all, this little person wasn’t only important to the King of Hell. She was equally important to Dongfang Bai as well…

While Dongfang Bai was deep in thought, Leng Jun Yu had already left with Xing. So now, there was only him and the unconscious Le Yao Yao in the room.

Since Dongfang Bai discovered that Le Yao Yao was pregnant, he quickly got Xiao Tang to prepare several buckets of hot water to fill the tub. Then, he called Madam Lian over.

Madam Lian was a deaf and mute lady in her fifties. After her husband abandoned her, she had no family to rely on. Once, Dongfang Bai happened to save her. From then on, she was brought to the medical clinic to help with cooking and tasks.

Since Madam Lian was deaf and mute, Dongfang Bai was certain she wouldn’t tell others about today. So, he ordered her to help bathe Le Yao Yao. Although Madam Lian was deaf and mute, she could read lips and understood what Dongfang Bai wanted.

She nodded and Dongfang Bai felt reassured. Then, he left the room to go prepare the Chinese medicine for Le Yao Yao.

By the time Madam Lian came out, it was already an hour later. Fortunately, the medicine was ready. Dongfang Bai ordered Madam Lian to untie

all of Le Yao Yao’s clothes and then told her not to allow anyone to come into the room.

Dongfang Bai carried the steaming bowl of medicine and locked the wooden doors. He placed the medicine on a low cupboard and reached inside of his drawer to take out a bottle of ointment. Then, he gazed down at the person before him.

Le Yao Yao was all clean now. In addition, she was wearing a very large robe.

Madam Lian was the only woman in the medical clinic. However, since she was far bigger than Le Yao Yao, Le Yao Yao had to wear his clothes instead.

Dongfang Bai’s eyes soften when he realized Le Yao Yao was dressed in his robe. In addition, the warm candle light made Le Yao Yao appear even more stunning.

Currently, Le Yao Yao’s eyes were tightly shut. Her eyelashes were long and thick. They looked like the fans of black butterflies (tl: I don’t get it). Underneath the candle light, they were shadowing her eyes.

Since she had been bathe with hot water, Le Yao Yao’s face was no longer as white as paper. Now, her cheeks had a pink tint to it.

Her wet long hair spiraled all over her shoulders and brushed against her small face. Due to her tiny frame, her arms and legs were completely hidden by the robe.

Dongfang Bai checked Le Yao Yao’s pulse again and then inspected Le Yao Yao’s injuries from within. During the whole process, the room was very silent.

But at this moment, Dongfang Bai could hear his pounding heart.

He had never once touched a woman’s body like this. Although he had many female patients, none of them had the ability to make him so nervous.

The skin he touched was so smooth, it could compare to the highest quality of silk. In addition, each time he touched Le Yao Yao, he felt his entire body trembling; even his heart was shaking….

It was definitely a very difficult task for him to apply the ointment all over her body. By the time

time Dongfang Bai was finished, his face was as red as a lobster.

His forehead was covered in sweat and his breathing was irregular. But Dongfang Bai suppressed his desire and took a deep breath to compose his beating hurt. He used his long sleeve to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

However, never once did his tender eyes leave Le Yao Yao…

—-

Eventually, Le Yao Yao woke up. However, she felt very weak and powerless. After she opened her eyes, the pain all came back like a violent wind. It was so painful that her face was scrunched and she breathed out cold air.

Her light breath was enough to wake the man who was dozing off next to her.

Dongfang Bai immediately felt a sigh of relief when he saw that Le Yao Yao was awake. He elegantly smiled, “Brother Yao, you’re awake?”

“Huh?”

Le Yao Yao turned her head and saw Dongfang Bai’s face. She looked around her surroundings and recalled what had happened last night.

So, she immediately brought her hands to her chest. The moment she felt the emptiness, Le Yao Yao turned white.

Oh God! Where was her money?

She had her money in her arms the whole time. Why was it missing?

Dongfang Bai misunderstood and thought Le Yao Yao was freaking out because she assumed he had changed her. So, he quickly explained.

“Brother Yao, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t change your clothes. I ordered Madam Lian to do it. Madam Lian is a deaf and mute lady, so she is not going to share your secrets to anyone.”

It wasn’t until then that Le Yao Yao realized her clothes had been changed. She was wearing a big robe. Based on the faint medical scent, Le Yao Yao knew it was Dongfang Bai’s.

Le Yao Yao immediately looked up at Dongfang Bai, “Who brought me here?”

Before she lost consciousness, Le Yao Yao thought she saw the King of Hell. But right now, there was only her and Dongfang Bai in the room. Could she have been hallucinating?

“Yu brought you here. What happened?”

Dongfang Bai was

Bai was very curious. Hearing this, Le Yao Yao didn’t hide anything and told him exactly what occurred before she passed out.

Then, she grabbed onto Dongfang Bai’s sleeve. “Brother Bai, have you seen my bag? I was planning to go deposit it in a bank. But the incident happened. Now, I don’t know where my money is.”

Le Yao Yao was very anxious. After all, that was her retirement fund! She will have to rely on it for the rest of her life. That opportunity she had was probably once in a lifetime. She might never have the chance to receive such heavy rewards from the Emperor or Dowager Empress ever again.

Dongfang Bai didn’t want to disappoint Le Yao Yao, but he had to shake his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t see it.”

Dongfang Bai was telling the truth. When he was inspecting Le Yao Yao, he didn’t notice any bag at all.

“Oh God! My money. Wuwu……” cried Le Yao Yao.

Her money was gone! Was she destined to be poor forever?

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Now, Le Yao Yao’s eyes were all red. She looked like a pitiful little bunny.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bai tried to comfort her.

“Brother Yao, it’s not a big deal if you lost your money. As long as you’re healthy, it’s good. If you need money, you can always ask me.”

Dongfang Bai had been studying medicine all his life. He had never been in a relationship with any woman before. However, he knew that he had fallen for the girl in front of him.

She doesn’t know, and she already likes someone else…

“Brother Yao, do you know that your body……”

Dongfang Bai was carefully testing the waters. He honestly didn’t know how to bring it up.

Who would’ve thought that the woman he likes was already someone else’s woman? In addition, she was carrying someone else’s child. Sadly, their relationship was destined to fail before it had even begun.

Le Yao Yao could see how much Dongfang Bai was struggling to speak. He mentioned something in regards something in regards to her body. Suddenly, her heart sank and she connected the dots.

“Could it be that Prince Rui knows I’m a woman?”

Is that why he wasn’t here right now?

He knows she was female so he’s mad?

Oh God! What should she do now?

Will the King of Hell kill her out of frustration?

“Don’t worry. Yu doesn’t know you’re female.”

“Whew. That’s good!”

Hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt a lot better. But she had no idea that this meant something entirely different to Dongfang Bai.

Yu doesn’t know she’s pregnant but she likes him. Could it be that she doesn’t plan on telling Yu because she wants to secretly give birth to the child?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai’s brows crinkled. His tone was very serious. “But you can’t keep hiding this. Eventually, someone will find out.”

After all, a child takes ten months to grow in the womb. She has only been pregnant for a month and a half. That’s why the stomach isn’t showing yet. Plus, she has a small frame so it was harder to tell.

But in a few months, her stomach will stick out. Even if she wants to conceal it, it won’t work.

So now, Dongfang Bai was very worried for Le Yao Yao. In addition, he was a bit jealous that she liked Yu to this degree.

However, Le Yao Yao assumed Dongfang Bai was talking about her female identity. So, she replied, “I’m just carrying on day by day. Brother Bai, please keep this secret for me. Don’t let anyone find out; especially Prince Rui. Or else.. I-I-…”

I’ll be dead…

Dongfang Bai nodded as he smiled sourly.

As expected, he was correct. She didn’t want anyone else to know; especially Yu.

Fine, he won’t ask anymore. After all, everyone has secrets.    

“Alright, I’ll keep the secret for you.”

“Thank you! I always knew that you’re the best!”

Le Yao Yao felt reassured and sleepy. Seeing this, Dongfang Bai fed her medicine and then allowed her to rest.

Dongfang Bai sighed as he watched Le Yao Yao. It was going to be another sleepless night for him…
