Huai Xu was taken aback for a second. Then, realizing something, he couldn't help but squeeze Su Yu's hand a little harder, his heart suddenly hammering in his chest.
His breathing grew quiet as he said, nervously yet carefully, "As long as it's our cub, Yu Yu—whether it's a female or a male cub—I'll love it all the same."
Huai Xu's tense and cautious little expression made Su Yu purse her lips in a suppressed smile. She turned her hand to grasp his long fingers and placed a gentle kiss on the back of his hand. "Alright. We'll let fate decide."
'In another month, her confinement period would be over. It was about time to start preparing for the next baby.'
'By turn, the next cub would be Huai Xu's.'
'She was very much looking forward to having a beautiful Merfolk cub, too.'
