She put down her water glass, her cheeks still flushed, as if nothing had happened in the past half hour.
"Hmph, no."
Since the other party doesn't follow the rules, she has no reason to hold back.
Bronya pushed the cutlery aside, leaned forward, and tried her best to show off her ample bosom to her foolish subordinate.
Xia Yuan was sitting opposite, picking at the food the maid had put in his bowl, but when he inadvertently glanced at Bronya sitting opposite him, all he could see was a blank white space.
Miss Kuroshi, who was standing nearby, naturally realized that the bad guy was spying on Bronya, and she was immediately furious.
His frustration manifested in his footwork, and he stomped on the other person's toes in resentment, causing Xia Yuan to gasp and regain his senses. He glared at Miss Hei Xi, determined to get a satisfactory answer from her.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"You naughty boy, who told you to look at Bronya's sister? Just eat your food."
"Hey, what business is it of yours, Miss Hei hope, that Duck Duck is jealous?"
He casually poured the vinegar from the table into her bowl. Since she liked it, he would let Miss Hei hope eat more.
Looking at her bowl overflowing with vinegar, she instantly lost her appetite. What was even more infuriating was that the other person had ruined the spicy mini cake that Xi'er had prepared for her.
She secretly stomped on the bad guy's foot again, but he was prepared and stepped on the empty floor, making her furious.
"You bastard, don't try to hide if you dare!"
The two secretly competed dozens of times, but neither could catch the other off guard. Instead, she was exhausted. Frustrated, Miss Hei Xi threw down her chopsticks, crossed her arms, and deliberately turned her face away. "Hmph, I'm full."
"Hey, my other self, are you full already?"
Xi'er was somewhat surprised. In the past, the other person could eat five baskets of xiaolongbao in one go, but today his appetite was less than half of what it used to be.
Is it a lack of appetite, or is there some other reason?
Looking at her other self, whose bowl was filled with vinegar, she suddenly felt a strong urge to drink something sour.
I'm full.
Although she said she was full, Miss Kuroki didn't leave because she was actually still very hungry. She just didn't want to see the smug look on that bad guy's face.
Chapter 781 The Arrival of Timido
But then...
Miss Hei hope then felt a mischievous little hand resting on her leg under the dining table.
This was during a meal, and with so many eyes watching, how dare this guy be so audacious! He was practically touching the edge of her inner thigh, making her unable to help but rebuke him:
"You bastard, don't go too far!"
But the other person ignored her words and let their small hands wander freely.
Faced with Xia Yuan's audacity, Miss Hei Xi had no way to express her suffering. She dared not make a sound to avoid being noticed by Seele and Bronya. However, as the other party's fingers kept moving, her cheeks turned bright red. She buried her head almost in a bowl full of vinegar. Her mind was desperately resisting, but her body wanted to succumb to this extreme feeling.
Compared to Miss Kuroki's shyness and naivety, the maid sitting on the right appeared quite open and uninhibited.
Upon noticing this, Rita took the other man's hand and placed it on the stockings embroidered with roses and lace. The smooth feel made him feel a little lightheaded. He looked at the maid in surprise, but Rita remained as calm as ever.
But deep within her pupils, a hidden desire was revealed.
Since that's the case, as the owner of the farm and the villa, he had no choice but to satisfy both Miss Heixi's and the maid's needs.
However, the warmth under the table did not last long.
A doorbell rang, breaking the unspoken understanding between them. Xia Yuan was a little puzzled; who could be visiting at this hour? He stopped what he was doing, and Miss Hei Xi was finally able to catch her breath, collapsing onto the dining table, drenched in sweat.
She was saved by the doorbell; if the bad guy had stuck his finger any deeper, she might not have made it.
The maid beside him felt a deep sense of regret.
He stood up and went outside the villa.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xia Yuan. Have you missed us?"
"S-senpai."
He saw Dr. Ai standing outside the door, a forced smile on her expressionless face. If Ai were alone, he would definitely have turned her away, but Timido was shyly hiding behind Dr. Ai and greeting him.
Even though she was hiding behind Dr. Ai Yin, she couldn't hide the girl's prominent belly, which clearly indicated that she was in her late pregnancy.
"Ain? Timido?!"
“Mr. Xia Yuan, although I know you are trying to get rid of me, it is regrettable that I am here with my lovely junior. I hope you will not turn away my lovely junior?”
Dr. Ai's voice carried a hint of joy.
"S-senpai, do you remember what you promised me in the tent? I'll definitely come to visit you when I have time." The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, stretching her already tight Valkyrie armor to its limit.
Xia Yuan thought back carefully, his gaze shifting back and forth between Dr. Ai Yin and Timido.
Countless images of his time with Timido in the tent flashed through his mind. Remembering the promise he had made to her, he nodded and helped the shy girl hiding behind Ai Yin. "Come in, let's talk slowly."
The arrival of Dr. Ai and Timido at this time was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Xia Yuan led Dr. Ai Yin and Timido into the living room.
Rita sat gracefully in the armchair. Ever since Mr. Xia Yuan got up and left, her gaze had never left his back. When she saw him helping a young girl in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her elegant smile.
Rita stared at the girl's protruding belly, seemingly deep in thought.
"Brother Xia Yuan, you actually did such a wicked thing outside while Sister Ai Li was away!" Seeing that everyone present remained silent, Padofelis couldn't help but speak out in order to get revenge on Brother Xia Yuan for feeding her a bellyful of cat food.
Hmph, with her leading the way, Brother Xia Yuan will surely be severely punished by everyone.
Unfortunately, she was the only one kept in the dark.
Seeing the silent crowd, she awkwardly sat back down.
Why is the atmosphere different from what she expected? Oh well, she'll just keep eating. The way Xia Yuan looked at her just now was terrifying. Tonight will probably be another night of a little cat begging for mercy.
Dr. Ai Yin chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Her gaze swept over everyone in the living room, and she took in the reactions of everyone at the dining table.
"It seems Mr. Xia Yuan, the food here is quite good... It's amazing how many people have gotten so much bigger without us even noticing. Why don't I have a taste too?"
His cheeks flushed instantly, and he coughed awkwardly, trying to change the subject:
"Ahem... Aiyin, how can you slander someone like that? If you're just asking for a free meal, why are you making such a big deal out of it? I'm not really hungry anyway, you can sit in my seat and have a meal there. Timido, come with me."
He pointed to his empty armchair.
The meaning was clear: Timido could stay, but as for Aiyin... after lunch, she should go back to where she came from. There were no extra bowls or chopsticks left. He quietly led the shy girl upstairs to help her with the swelling.
Of course, this earned him a cold shoulder from Bronya.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ai Yin seemed to genuinely consider herself a freeloader, completely disregarding her status as an outsider, and effortlessly sat in Xia Yuan's seat, becoming the center of attention.
She turned to Rita, a sly glint in her eyes: "Ms. Rita, it's been a long time. I thought you were on vacation at home, but I didn't expect you to be working as a maid for Mr. Xia Yuan. I really want to know how he managed to keep you here."
Rita smiled slightly, "Dr. Ein, I think... you'll probably never know."
She stroked her growing belly, her face beaming with happiness.
They would clash the moment they met, as if they were the two poles of a magnet, unable to stay together.
How will you know if you don't try?
“I think you probably won’t have that chance, Ms. Bronya, don’t you agree?”
The maid looked at the aloof female manager sitting opposite her.
"Huh? Of...of course."
Although she and Rita didn't get along very well, they were now comrades on the same side and naturally had to unite to resist the enemy. Rita was indeed troublesome when she was an enemy, but as a comrade, she was much more reliable than her sister Mei, whose face still had soup stains on it.
Chapter 782 (The End)
Ai Yin sighed.
"Sigh...it seems I'm the only one here who hasn't eaten enough; my stomach is still rumbling."
Durandal's face instantly turned red.
She didn't know why other people gained weight, but for her, it was simply because she lacked exercise.
Durandal stammered, trying to prove her innocence, "Dr. Aiyin, actually, what I have on my stomach is just excess fat, but I don't know why it won't go away even though I've been exercising lately."
Of course, everyone present understood Dr. Ai'en's deeper meaning.
Only one of the most powerful Valkyries still believes that her recent lack of exercise has caused her to develop a three-fold belly, but clearly, this three-fold belly won't disappear in less than ten months.
"Really?"
Dr. Ai's teasing did not stop.
Her gaze swept over Rita, Bronya, and even Mei. Everyone she knew blushed at her words, making the atmosphere both awkward and amusing. The others dared not utter a sound.
Of course, except for Mebius.
She sensed a similar mad scientist aura in the other person, someone she might be able to talk to. But now she had a new inspiration and was going to continue her experiments, hoping that the mice wouldn't be too surprised when they saw her grown up.
Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.
With Xia Yuan absent, Padofelis was the first to be unable to bear the heavy atmosphere at the dinner table, and she tucked her tail between her legs and fled in panic.
Seele drank the vinegar from her other bowl in one gulp.
This terrified Miss Hei hope. She quickly patted the other person's back and took Xi'er to rinse her mouth. She absolutely could not let the bad guy's vinegar taint Xi'er's purity.
Bronya, sitting opposite, couldn't wait to sneak into the game room.
Of course, she also dragged Mei, whose face still had soup stains, over along. With her silly subordinate not around, she had no choice but to treat her as her gaming partner. She had to play with her even if she didn't want to. This was the punishment for sneaking a bite to eat that morning.
Alicia continues to take care of the baby.
She and the little one plunged headlong into the farm outside the villa, as if their energy were inexhaustible.
Sakura and her younger sister planted cherry blossom trees in the villa's courtyard, hoping to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom next spring. Rin also hoped that her older sister could enjoy the cherry blossoms with her brother Xia Yuan, and then easily win her over.
Soon, only Dr. Ein and Rita remained in the room.
"Miss Rita, everyone else has left. Aren't you planning to leave?"
“Rita’s duty is to entertain guests who have come from afar on behalf of the host. Since you haven’t left yet, Rita won’t be able to explain it to Mr. Xia Yuan later.” She smiled and gestured for him to enter the villa.
at the same time--
In the bedroom on the second floor, it was the first time that Timido had entered a room of the opposite sex, and she was nervous and uneasy.
But under Xia Yuan's comforting words and skillful techniques, the girl gradually relaxed, sitting shyly on the edge of the bed, letting her senior, like a child who hadn't grown up, help her reduce the swelling in her body.
Outside on the balcony, Phyllis climbed onto the wall and witnessed Xia Yuan's embarrassing scene in the bedroom.
Steam rose from her head as she prepared to record a video to tell Sister Aili about the incident. However, when she thought of the silent crowd at the dinner table, she felt that the plan might not work. It would be more practical to use the video to directly threaten Brother Xia Yuan.
But when she thought about how she felt like a cat with its claws pulled out in front of Xia Yuan, she had no choice but to give up.
With that kind of effort, she might as well go to the mines to mine crystals, and then secretly hide some of them as her own pocket money. However, she always felt that the number of crystals she had hidden away seemed to have decreased recently, and she wondered if it was just her imagination.
Little Paddo quietly left, and the evening in the bedroom was drawing to a close.
The two left the bedroom, and he planned to take Timido around the villa. In the corridor on the second floor, Timido looked at Senior Xia Yuan, who was close at hand, and the girl made a bold move. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
This scene was witnessed by Dr. Ai Yin, who had just come up to the second floor.
She looked at the two of them, a hint of relief in her eyes.
"I didn't expect you, Timido, to actually take the initiative to kiss Mr. Xia Yuan. It seems the training has paid off. Congratulations, young lady, you've overcome the first stage of social anxiety." She gave him a thumbs up in praise.
After being caught by Ai Yin, Timido's face turned bright red instantly.
She lowered her head, her voice barely audible, and pressed herself tightly against Xia Yuan. "Senior Ai Yin, things aren't what you think, I..." Seeing the stammering girl with steam rising from her lips, he immediately shielded Timido behind him.
Dr. Ai looked at Xia Yuan with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "Oh, it seems that the little assistant I once picked up can now stand on his own."
Xia Yuan looked at Dr. Ai Yin, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness: "Doctor, how can you bear to bully such a cute girl? What exactly did you come here for today?"
"Mr. Xia Yuan, you definitely wouldn't believe me if I said I came here to freeload a meal."
She waved her hand, "I just wanted to see how my former assistant is doing now."
She walked up to him and gently patted Xia Yuan's shoulder: "Seeing you living such a fulfilling life makes me feel relieved. It's much better than I imagined. So many girls living together, and yet no funny 'wood knife ending' has occurred. After this whole bunch of babies are born when we get back, I'll have the bishop award you a 'Model of Childbirth,' how about that?"
She waved her hand, ready to leave gracefully as if she had never been there.
I wonder how many children will be with her next time we meet? Will she have to prepare a lot of lucky money then? Hmm... I'll have to ask Dr. Tesla for her share.
