He Said He's Pregnant, and It's My Child (Female-dominant)

Chapter 17 Meddlesome Zhu Xishan

However, no matter how many thoughts were running through her mind, Wang Zhao did not show any unusual emotions on her face.

After Zhu Xishan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Zhao to respond. He didn't care much, as he was merely warning this woman at the moment.

He turned to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks, his body stiffening.

"Zhenguan?"

A man was standing at the entrance to the kitchen.

Wang Zhao heard Zhu Xishan's voice and also turned her head to look, only to find Li Zhenguan standing at the kitchen door, wearing casual clothes, his hair slightly disheveled, looking as if he had just woken up and come downstairs.

However, when she glanced at him, she noticed that Li Zhenguan's expression seemed a bit off. His eyes were somewhat clouded in the flickering light, and it was unclear how long he had been standing there or how much he had heard.

When their eyes met, Li Zhenguan's expression suddenly changed. Those clouded eyes instantly became bright and clear, his entire demeanor becoming much more transparent.

Just like a little dog seeing its favorite toy, Wang Zhao thought to herself. But dogs were always better; she liked their loyalty.

Under Li Zhenguan's gaze, Wang Zhao slowly smiled.

"Why did you come down?" she said, "Did you wake up?" Her tone remained unchanged, as if she hadn't just been warned by Zhu Xishan, treating him as she always had.

Li Zhenguan stared at Wang Zhao for a moment before nodding and walking in. Zhu Xishan's expression wasn't good; anyone would feel a bit guilty in this situation. Zhu Xishan felt guilty too, but more so embarrassed, which made him even more wary of the calm-faced Wang Zhao.

This woman clearly wasn't a simple character.

Li Zhenguan called out "Cousin" before looking at Wang Zhao: "Why did you come down so early?"

Wang Zhao, seemingly ignoring Zhu Xishan's gaze at that moment, smiled at Li Zhenguan and said, "I was a bit thirsty, so I came to the kitchen for some water. I happened to run into Mr. Zhu, and we chatted for a bit."

"Did you also come down for water because you were thirsty?" she asked in return.

Li Zhenguan hesitated for a moment before nodding. He had actually gone to Wang Zhao's room, and finding it empty, had come down to look for her, only to hear a man's voice coming from the kitchen.

At first, he hadn't paid much attention, checking the living room before planning to go to the back garden. As he was about to leave, he heard Wang Zhao's questioning response.

He immediately stopped in his tracks and almost uncontrollably walked over, seeing a man and a woman standing inside, but didn't make any sound.

To be honest, Li Zhenguan disliked anyone who got close to Wang Zhao, whether they were women or men, young or old, in love or not.

But now, in front of Wang Zhao, he didn't show any of this. Instead, he acted as if he had just come downstairs. He looked at Zhu Xishan, his gaze falling on the water glass in his hand, and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence, it seems cousin also drank quite a bit at lunch and is now thirsty."

Zhu Xishan made a sound of agreement, finished the water in his glass, glanced at Wang Zhao once more, and then left, shuffling in his slippers back upstairs.

Li Zhenguan's gaze shifted back from the living room, and he also poured a glass of water, standing next to Wang Zhao and slowly taking a sip.

She couldn't help but smile: "Did you really just come down?" She didn't quite believe Li Zhenguan's explanation to Zhu Xishan.

Li Zhenguan blinked, his almond-shaped eyes appearing innocent and pure. With his fair skin, he looked very obedient, only pursing his lips in a smile.

Wang Zhao sighed, not pressing him further: "My dad called me, saying relatives have come to visit at home. I need to go back early tonight, so I won't be staying for dinner here."

Li Zhenguan felt reluctant, but still obediently didn't try to persuade Wang Zhao to stay.

He knew that the woman before him liked obedient and docile men, had strong desires for control and dominance, and rarely changed her mind once she had decided on something. For most men in this world, this was a rather self-centered aesthetic preference, which could be called female chauvinism, or straight-female tendencies.

Actually, when he first learned about Wang Zhao's aesthetic preferences, he was also very surprised, but—

Li Zhenguan glanced out the window at this moment: "Are you leaving now?" It was still quite early, and besides, "You drank some alcohol at lunch, has the effect worn off yet?"

Wang Zhao wasn't too worried: "I've called for a designated driver."

Li Zhenguan still said: "It's not easy for outsiders to enter this community. My family's driver happens to be here today, I can have her drive you home. I'll have someone bring your car back later."

Wang Zhao stared at Li Zhenguan for a moment before nodding slightly. This was a trivial matter in her view, so she could accept Li Zhenguan's arrangement.
