Chapter 50

50 Ch. 50 Can’t Wait (part 2)

Qiao Anxia was still rooted to her spot, with her eyes focused on her bulging ball-like stomach. She wondered if it was just her feelings or if the creature in her stomach was moving.

Anxia moved her hand once again to stroke her stomach to find out what and what.

But nothing happened, so Anxia decided she was hallucinating.

“Ah, damn. Here gone, my good morning. It’s all because of you.”

Worse, Anxia blamed her own stomach because her mood wasn’t as good as when she woke up a few minutes ago.

Then Anxia decided to change clothes and leave the house to jog around her house.

She realized that day by day, her body was getting heavier, and her weight had increased drastically. Anxia was depressed because her face looked chubbier from overeating.

Anxia didn’t want to eat much and ate one bite of food as usual. But for some reason, her stomach kept making a sound demanding to be filled with food every time she decided not to eat.

As a result, she will definitely eat every two or three hours, whether it’s nutritious food or snacks such as chips and other junk food.

.....

Amazingly, during her pregnancy, Qiao Anxia never once felt nausea or cravings like most other pregnant women. She always felt good every morning she woke up and had no cravings.

Well, there was one time she had a morning sick, and thanks to that, she knew she was carrying a bastard’s child.

“Hhhh... When can I get out of this place? Ah, I miss my job. When are you going out, huh? I can’t wait to get you out of my life.”

Like a madman, Qiao Anxia spoke to herself while glaring at her stomach with an irritated expression. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of mother and daughter watched her with their mouths wide open.

“Mom, why is that lady talking to her child like that?”

“Shhh. Don’t listen to her. She’s crazy.”

“Crazy?”

“Don’t go near people like that.” without a second glance at Anxia, the mother pulled her daughter’s hand away from Qiao Anxia.

Anxia sighed in exasperation because she could hear what the woman was saying.

“Crazy, huh? Seriously! The crazy one is you!” Before she finished swearing, Anxia felt something tugging at her skirt. “What?!” with great exasperation, Anxia glanced at a child tugging at her garment.

“Beautiful sister, if you don’t want to be called crazy, talk to your child nicely.”

Anxia put on a sinister crooked smile that made the child gulp nervously. “I speak in a good tone. Do you want to hear it? Hmm?”

The child released his grip on Anxia’s skirt and stepped back because he suddenly felt afraid of this pregnant woman.

“O, my dear baby, when will you be born into this world? I can’t wait to meet you to get rid of you. How is it? Doesn’t my tone sound good?”

The pair of children’s eyes filled with tears, and then he cried out loud, “Huwaaaaa... mommy... that person is crazy!!”

Anxia slapped her forehead. This is the second time she’s been called crazy by a stranger!!

Ah, never mind. It was better for her to go back to her house than to be entangled with ‘crazy’ neighbors.

As soon as she got home, Anxia tried to find Ling Meng, who still didn’t seem to have come home from the market. Finally, she decided to sit on the sofa, reading a book.

Because she was in a horrible mood, Anxia chose to read humorous books that could make her laugh.

Every now and then, she would chuckle because the stories she read were amusing. Then when she read the story about the liar detector, she burst out laughing.

“Listen to this. It’s a hilarious story.” no one knew who Anxia was talking to, but when her hand stroked her belly without realizing it, it looked like she was trying to interact with her baby.

Then Anxia told the story she had read.

***

One day a man bought a lie detector robot that would slap people who lied. The man decided to test it on his wife and child.

Father: Son, where were you during class time?

Child: At school

SLAP! The robot slapped the child.

Child: Ok! I was at a friend’s house watching a movie.

Dad: What kind of movie?

Child: Kung Fu Panda

The robot slapped the child once again.

Child: Ok! Erotic movie.

Dad: What!? When I was your age, I didn’t understand what an erotic film was.

Slap! The robot slaps the father.

Mother: Hahaha! He is indeed your son!

Slap! The robot slaps the mother.

All family: ...

Ah! Just get rid of this useless robot!

***

“Muahahahaha!” Anxia laughed again until she burst out laughing after rereading it to her fetus. “What an idiot bunch. How could they be fooled by a robot? Isn’t that funny, hm?” Anxia stroked her belly once again.

Dug!

Anxia’s previously thunderous laughter disappeared without a trace.

This time she was sure she wasn’t hallucinating. The fetus was indeed moving in her stomach!

Anxia put down the book she was reading and tried to gently stroke her stomach with both hands. However, no matter how much she stroked her belly, she felt nothing.

“Hey, fet... ahem... ahem...” Anxia decided to fix the nickname that sounded unpleasant to her friend’s ears and replace it with something nicer. But what kind of name should she use?

Boy? Girl? She doesn’t even know what gender her child is!

“Hey, baby. Are you listening to my voice?”

Dug!

Anxia’s breath hitched as she felt a single movement in her stomach for the third time. She gulped before speaking again, “You can actually hear me?”

Dug! Dug! This time there were two moves!

Anxia felt the world around her shake at that instant. No. The correct word was her world turned upside down!

Somehow she really couldn’t wait to give birth to this child. Not to get rid of it, but to meet her baby soon!

“Hey, baby. It seems I really can’t wait to meet you in person.”

Anxia could sense another movement. Only this one was different from before. As if imitating her actions stroking her stomach, something foreign also caressed the inside of her womb.

It didn’t stop there; Anxia felt like she heard laughter... the laughter of a baby!!
