The Eunuch is Pregnant

Chapter 169: Are you wondering whether I know you’re female or not?

It was noon. The King of Hell was requested by a eunuch from the Palace to go see the Dowager Empress. No one knew when he will be back.

Since the King of Hell was away, Le Yao Yao wasted no time and headed to find Nangong Jun Xi. She wanted to find out exactly what happened last night. But when she arrived, the eunuch on shift informed her that Nangong Jun Xi was still asleep. He still hadn’t woken up from last night.

So, Le Yao Yao went to find the chief manager to get the exiting pendant and ran to the medical clinic to look for Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai’s medical clinic was quite close to Prince Rui’s residence. Since Le Yao Yao was also running, she arrived in no time.

Currently, the medical clinic had not officially opened yet, so when Le Yao Yao arrived, there were only a few servants sweeping and cleaning the place.

Le Yao Yao scanned her eyes around the area but couldn’t see the familiar white figure. So, she turned to one of the servants.

“Xiao Tang, where is Physician Dongfang?”

“Oh! Physician Dongfang is currently in the back courtyard!” Xiao Tang replied.

“Thanks.”

Because Le Yao Yao had came here on multiple occasions, she was very familiar with the interiors of the medical clinic. There were two floors. The first floor was for sick patients to get seen by a doctor and to purchase medicinal ingredients for Chinese medicine. The second floor had been split into many rooms. It was for patients who were in grave conditions where it wouldn’t be a good idea to shift or move them around. They would stay here to get treatment.

Dongfang Bai was in the back courtyard. In the back courtyard, there was a pavilion. Next to the pavilion was a small pond. Within the small pond were some gorgeous looking carps. Currently, the afternoon sunlight was glittering all over the pond, producing a layer of dazzling gold.

Aside from the little pond, there was an empty field next to it. Although nothing could be seen on it right now, Le Yao Yao recalled Dongfang Bai mentioning that he was already growing several medicinal ingredients underneath it.

Le Yao Yao glanced around the back courtyard and finally landed on the man dressed in white. He was in front of the pavilion putting white chrysanthemum out in the Sun to dry.

Perhaps Dongfang Bai could sense someone watching him, because he suddenly turned around.

They both looked slightly surprised to see each other, but Dongfang Bai adjusted very quickly. In a few seconds, his mouth was curved upwards into a warm smile.

For some reason, Le Yao Yao always felt very calm and secure whenever she saw Dongfang Bai. It was as if things would turn out fine as long as he was by her side. No matter how grave the situation was, the problem would become frivolous.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao smiled at Dongfang Bai and strolled towards him.

“Brother Bai.”

“Bro…ther…Yao. You’re finally here.”

Hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt a bang inside her heart. Her smile froze.

Was she overthinking? Or did Dongfang Bai’s greeting sounded a bit odd?

Yet, his smile was still warm as usual.

But he said, finally? So he was waiting for her arrival? Why was he waiting for her? Because of what happened last night?

So now, Le Yao Yao’s heart was beating irregularly. Her face revealed a lot more anxiety.

Being the observant person he was, Dongfang Bai naturally noticed this. But he didn’t comment on it. Instead, he smiled and kindly suggested, “Look at you. Your face is all red from running. Drink a cup of tea to cool down first!”

“Alright….”

Based on Dongfang Bai’s reaction, he probably knows something. But right now, he’s still treating her the same. So does he know or not?!?! Aaiii.

Le Yao Yao was confused but was too thirsty to ask. So, she followed Dongfang Bai and sat on the stone seat underneath a big tree.

Currently, it was the middle of Summer. The temperature was incredibly high and the Sun was scorching hot. If a person stood underneath it long enough, he or she would feel roasted.

So, Le Yao Yao did not hesitate at all when Dongfang Bai handed her a cup of cool tea. She gulped down all the content in one go. Then, she burped at the very end as she stuck out her tongue and licked the rest of the tea.

But suddenly, she thought there was something strange about the tea.

“Brother Bai, what is this tea?”

It tasted quite good, but there was a medicinal taste to it.

“This is a type of sobering tea. After drinking it, your headache will go away.”

“Eh…..”

Le Yao Yao realized the tea was already cool. It was the perfect temperature for her to drink. Dongfang Bai must have expected her to show up so he had prepared this ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao was extremely grateful towards Dongfang Bai’s attentiveness and care towards her. Since meeting him, he had always treated her like how an older brother would’ve treated her. She was extremely touched and grateful.

But while she was touched, Le Yao Yao was still bothered by what happened last night. If she doesn’t find out exactly what happened, she will be in bigger trouble. She needed to figure out whether it was a dream or whether she actually took off her clothes in front of someone…

So now, Le Yao Yao bit her lips and gradually placed down the teacup. Then, she gazed at the man in front of her.

Dongfang Bai knew she was here to ask about yesterday’s incident. But he had no idea how much she remembered from last night. So, Dongfang Bai opened his mouth, “If you have something to ask, go ahead. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Brother Bai, last night, three of us were drinking at the Ruyi tavern. Did something that I am not aware of happened after I was drunk?”

There was a lot of tension on Le Yao Yao’s face. On the contrary, Dongfang Bai’s face was calm. He was deep in thought.

Le Yao Yao was warily waiting for his response. Although it was only a few seconds, she felt as if she had been waiting for a century. She was going nuts!

Say something! If you don’t say anything, I’m going to freak out even more!

Somehow, it was as if Dongfang Bai could sense or read her mind. He slowly raised his head and made eye contact with her.

“Are you wondering whether I know you’re a female or not?”

Dongfang Bai’s voice was still very gentle and warm. But right now, his words were like thunder lightning to Le Yao Yao. She felt as if her brain was fried and she instantly froze like a rock.

So, it wasn’t a dream after all. Those brief episodes from her mind were real… That means, Dongfang Bai was the one who undressed her?!

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao’s face immediately turned red. Aside from astonishment, there was a type of conflicted emotion shown on her face.

Although she hadn’t said anything, Dongfang Bai could tell what Le Yao Yao was thinking about by her reaction.

So now, it was Dongfang Bai’s turn to blush. He was no longer calm and was feeling very flustered…
