MTLNOVEL Chapter 590: His Stubborn Girl (2)
Bai Meiyue stopped drying her hair and questioned Lei Qian with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Everything seemed to be going alright; then why was this man suddenly looking worried as if things were going south?
"The condition at the safe base is not good. If Mo He is not wrong, then there must be at least a hundred and fifty people who died at the base today. More than fifty of them were children," said Lei Qian with a hint of a sigh. Lei Qian didn't feel sorry about the deaths of the adults; anyway, they were strong enough to deal with the mutated bugs if they wanted. But he did feel aggrieved about the loss of the fifty children.
When Bai Meiyue heard his words, she understood why he was upset and threw the towel on the bed. She walked over and patted him on the back before saying to them, "You are not at fault here. It was Yu Miaomiao's mistake to ignore the horrifying ability of the mutated bugs; if she had taken the warnings that were given to her again and again, then things wouldn't have reached this point. She was the one who turned a deaf ear to the warnings."
Lei Qian sighed. He knew and agreed with what Bai Meiyue said to him. After all, they had indeed relayed their warnings to Yu Miaomiao, but the woman had ignored them as if they were blowing rainbow farts. Since that was the case, who could be blamed?
He then turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her, "I forgot to tell you; it seems like the medicinal antidote that you have prepared does really work."
When Bai Meiyue heard his response, she was quite confused. It had been so long, and yet the man had never tried using the medicinal powder. If anything, he went to great lengths to grab some frozen meat for her. In his eyes, the frozen meat was better than the meat of the mutated chickens and goats. So why was he suddenly bringing it up?
Seeing the look of confusion in her eyes, Lei Qian curled his lips and said to her, "It's nothing. Didn't you say that we no longer need those ability users who tried to take advantage of the Meng siblings? I thought, why not use them as guinea pigs since we are going to discard them later on, either way? I used the medicinal powder that you gave me and marinated the meat with it before giving it to those men."
"Guess what, they were alright after eating the meat." Lei Qian looked quite smug about using his sly schemes against those young men.
Bai Meiyue: "..."
She sighed and didn't say anything. After cleaning the water tank and taking care of other things, she no longer had any energy to deal with Lei Qian. She closed her eyes and then shook her head before going back to bed. She was so tired that she wanted to sleep! Lei Qian could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't bother her.
"What, you have nothing to say?" When Lei Qian saw Bai Meiyue not saying anything and going back to sleep, he couldn't help but remark.
Bai Meiyue yawned as she fluffed up her pillow. She turned and looked at the man who was staring at her as if shocked by her silence and said to him, "I already told you that the powder works; you were the one who refused to believe it. Who else can you blame but yourself? Why should I be surprised that the medicinal powder works? I know it works."
When Lei Qian heard her response, he was speechless, but at the same time, he knew what Bai Meiyue said was indeed correct. She had told him countless times that the medicinal powder would work, but he didn't trust her. Now that the truth was in the light, the one who should have been shocked should be he and not Bai Meiyue, who was already aware of her skills.
Lei Qian: "..." So he slapped himself on the face with his own hands?
Seeing the changing colours of the man's face, Bai Meiyue chuckled. She got into bed and covered herself with the duvet. When Lei Qian snapped out of his thoughts, the woman was already snoring lightly.
Lei Qian was speechless. Sometimes he wondered if Bai Meiyue even took him seriously; the woman was way too casual when she was with him. It was more like she was taking him as a partner rather than the father of her child. He, a young man, was standing right next to her, and she carelessly slept in front of him. Was she not worried that he would do something to her?
However, as he dropped his gaze and looked at her pregnant belly, his eyes softened. Indeed, she was not scared of him doing anything to her. What could he do when she was almost five months pregnant?
Sighing, he got to the bed and didn't dare to even move the woman onto her side, as he knew that sleeping on the left side was more beneficial for a pregnant woman.
But just as he closed his eyes, he felt Bai Meiyue shuffling and a second later, the woman had slid close to him. Lei Qian turned his head and smiled helplessly as he reached out and hugged Bai Meiyue from behind. Since she always felt so cold, why did she have to insist that she could sleep alone?
Such a stubborn girl. But she was his stubborn girl.
Bai Meiyue, whose face was scrunched up in a frown, eased down, and her breathing smoothed as soon as Lei Qian hugged her.
AHHHHH!!
Bai Meiyue sat up straight the second she heard the sound of someone screaming. She had no idea what had happened, but from the screams, it seemed like something big must have happened. She hurriedly got down from the bed and ignoring the bird nest on top of her head, she hurried out of the room. And when she reached the bottom of the stairs, her mouth fell open in shock.
