Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands
Chapter 233: "How About Proposing?Yu Zhizhi swallowed the cranberry cookie in her mouth. She froze for a moment, looking at the man sitting at the head of the dining table.
His silver-gray hair was combed back, his features were sharp and deep, and an unconcealable intensity radiated from him. In a calm tone, he said, "If you like him, I can be your go-between."
Yu Zhizhi suddenly realized what the man was talking about and quickly shook her head.
Seeing the little female’s slightly reserved expression, Shen He leaned back in his chair, his posture casual. "Are you sure you don’t need me to?"
"Lord Captain, you’ve misunderstood..."
Yu Zhizhi put down the half-eaten cookie and replied earnestly, "Si Qi is my patient. Besides, you’re paying me a very high fee, so I have to do my job properly."
She had no other intentions toward the Sea Serpent Youth.
’No wonder everyone’s been looking at me strangely. Is it because of these rumors?’
Yu Zhizhi sat on her chair with her hands on her knees. Her head was bowed and her rabbit ears drooped, her spirits a little low.
’Was it because of that gift?’
’That’s why so many people misunderstood.’
’But Si Qi is my patient. Should I keep my distance from him because of this?’
Shen He averted his gaze. He glanced at the gloomy sky outside, where the storm was beating against the sails with a relentless drumming sound.
The little female seemed troubled by this.
For some reason, he, on the other hand, felt a little pleased.
The corners of Shen He’s mouth tilted up slightly. "In that case, just focus on healing him. My payment isn’t for nothing."
Yu Zhizhi was taken aback.
’Does the Lord Captain mean I don’t need to worry about the rumors, as long as I do my job?’
She nodded lightly. "Mm."
Outside the door, the brown-haired youth reported dutifully, "My lord, Ms. Zhi Zhi’s window has been repaired, but the bedsheets are all wet. The room is uninhabitable for now."
Shen He said, "Find another room."
"There are none left..." The brown-haired youth stood ramrod straight, a difficult expression on his face. "This storm flooded many of the rooms. It doesn’t matter to us; we’d be happy to sleep in the sea. But Ms. Zhi Zhi... she might have to make do with the wine cellar for a few days."
The wine cellar was where the alcohol was stored, piled high with all sorts of bottles. There wasn’t much room to even stand, and an adult male would have a hard time sleeping in there.
Yu Zhizhi wasn’t picky, though. She stood up. "Are there any clean blankets and bedding?"
The brown-haired youth smiled in response. "Yes, there are."
Shen He suddenly spoke up. "Is my room flooded?"
"My lord’s room has no windows, so it’s perfectly fine."
The hurricane at sea had shattered the glass, which was what led to the rooms flooding.
Only Lord Shen He’s room had no windows.
Shen He grunted in acknowledgment. "She can stay in my room for now."
The brown-haired youth froze, an ecstatic expression uncontrollably spreading across his face—
’Has my lord finally figured it out?’
’Was it Si Qi giving Ms. Zhi Zhi chocolates that sparked my lord’s competitive spirit?’
Yu Zhizhi clutched a thin blanket, her voice trembling slightly. "I-Isn’t that a bad idea?"
She had been to the Lord Captain’s room twice. There was only one bed. It wasn’t very big, and if two people were to squeeze onto it, it would be difficult to avoid skin-on-skin contact...
Thinking of his deep eyes, shrouded in shadow as she had applied his medicine, Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Shen He saw a blush creep across the little female’s porcelain-white cheeks, the tips of her cute rabbit ears looking as if they’d been dipped in rouge. A hint of a smile flashed in his deep gray pupils. "What are you thinking about? I’m giving you my room. I’ll stay in yours."
He didn’t care if there was water in the room; he could sleep anywhere.
"Oh..." Realizing she had misunderstood, Yu Zhizhi felt even more mortified, the back of her ears burning.
Yu Zhizhi walked toward the door and heard footsteps behind her.
Soon, the man was by her side.
As he drew near, his shadow, cast by the light, completely covered her.
Yu Zhizhi looked up. It was always a bit of an effort to look at him. Although the Lord Captain wasn’t in his Beastification form, he was taller and more powerfully built than the other males, exuding a heroic and dashing aura, his entire being steeped in masculine pheromones.
Shen He’s gaze shifted downward, glancing at the little rabbit. Her small, porcelain-white face was tinged with a faint pink, and her clear rabbit eyes immediately darted away the moment they met his.
The little female hunched her shoulders and was about to leave when Shen He suddenly reached out and gently rested his hand on her head.
Yu Zhizhi’s raised right foot froze in midair.
She slowly lowered it back down. She wanted to look up, but the large, solid hand resting on her head was an all-too-clear sensation.
The brown-haired youth tactfully turned his back, gazing out at the sea where fierce winds raged and the storm poured down. The ship rocked and swayed in the waves.
"Drape your blanket properly. Our dear Miss Healer can’t afford to get sick." Shen He’s deep, mellow voice, set against the backdrop of the storm, sounded surprisingly gentle.
Belatedly, Yu Zhizhi finally felt the chill.
She unfolded the blanket she was hugging and draped it over her shoulders. Warmth instantly flooded her heart.
Shen He removed his hand.
Yu Zhizhi knew where the captain’s room was. Having been there twice, she knew it wasn’t far from the dining hall and found it with ease.
Shen He didn’t look away until her petite figure had disappeared from view.
The brown-haired youth looked up at the dark clouds overhead and sighed softly. "You know, the feeling of having someone waiting for you at home is really nice. On a rainy day like this, there’d be a warm bowl of soup to heat your stomach. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say. You wouldn’t even finish two sips before you’d want to kiss your lovely wife."
"And then, a bunch of little fluffballs would pop out, tugging on your finger and saying, ’Daddy, come play with us!’ Who could bear to refuse?"
Shen He shot his subordinate a look. "What are you trying to say?"
The brown-haired youth said with utmost sincerity, "My lord, why don’t you propose to Ms. Zhi Zhi?"
Buli still hadn’t given up.
He just felt that Miss Rabbit was wonderful, and his lord treated her in a very special way.
Normally, it was difficult for any other female to get close to his lord, let alone an S-Class female.
Other than being a citizen of the enemy Empire, Ms. Zhi Zhi was practically perfect and flawless.
She had so many suitors. If his lord didn’t take advantage of his prime position, it would be too late!
Shen He chuckled. "I spared her life, but not so I could marry her."
"It seems not even a storm can shut your mouth—"
"Since you’re so worried about marriage, why don’t you start going on blind dates when we get back to the Empire? I remember that young lady from the Dolphin Clan is quite fond of you, right? How about I set you two up?"
Buli’s face changed. "N-No, my lord, please don’t! She has a harem of three thousand male beasts. I’d rather not join that party..."
Yu Zhizhi returned to the captain’s room. The storm lasted for nearly half a month. Unable to see the sun, she grew completely listless.
Fortunately, her food and lodging were very well taken care of.
Every day, she would go treat the Sea Clan youth’s injuries as scheduled.
His body recovered day by day.
Near the end of the month, the ship finally passed through the stormy region and entered the Deep Sea Domain.
It was the day they saw the sun again.
Yu Zhizhi went up to the deck, looking at the boundless coastline and the faint outlines of Sea City’s towers in the distance.
She asked happily—
