Pregnant Bunny, Obsessed Beast Husbands

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: "You’re Carrying His Child?

Yu Zhizhi called out his name.

’Please, be gentle...’

"Dracula."

She hadn’t dared to acknowledge him in the banquet hall, but things were different now. They were so close, and his scent was identical to how it had been in the church. She couldn’t have been mistaken.

Dracula’s expression faltered slightly.

They had both recognized each other, yet neither had taken the initiative to break the unspoken silence between them.

It was just that, he hadn’t expected...

That Yu Zhizhi would actually whisper his name.

With Dracula, Yu Zhizhi let her guard down completely. In her eyes, even though his identity was a mystery...

He wasn’t a bad person.

In fact, even after she had taken advantage of him, he seemed willing to forgive her.

If she hadn’t been so afraid of the pain, Yu Zhizhi would have continued to think of him only as the Godfather from the blessing ceremony—

He hadn’t mentioned what happened at the church, so she would guard the secret with her life, keeping it all bottled up inside.

At this moment, the little female before him was like a lost rabbit that had stumbled into a wolf pack, seeking his protection.

’...I should ask her.’

The thought of just killing her like this made a sliver of reluctance surface in Dracula’s heart.

From the day he was born, he had shouldered the destiny of restoring his nation. The path had been fraught with peril; he had slain countless Beastmen, enough for their corpses to form mountains.

Dracula had never hesitated before striking a killing blow.

But this time, he stopped.

He slowly leaned down.

After their mutual "confession," the distance between them closed even more.

Dracula lightly sniffed the little female’s neck. "...That day, why did you go to the church?"

At the mention of this, Yu Zhizhi’s tone was filled with guilt.

"I’m sorry, I..."

She couldn’t say.

She could never tell anyone about the Childbirth System.

If Dracula knew he was a ’target,’ that she had slept with him only to get pregnant with his Beast cub, then she feared...

She wouldn’t live to see the next sunrise.

"Then let me ask a different way."

Dracula’s eyes darkened. "Did someone from the K family send you?"

’What is this...?’

’A honey trap, but with a bunny?’

The little female’s head shook back and forth like a rattle.

Her chin slipped from his grasp, and Yu Zhizhi looked earnestly at the man right before her, whispering:

"No, nobody sent me. It was what I wanted, I... I needed it for myself!"

She emphasized those last two words.

"And—"

Yu Zhizhi gently took his hand and placed it on her abdomen. "I’m pregnant."

The test results had just come in.

The system had already confirmed her pregnancy status. freewёbnoνel.com

Counting back, it must have happened that first night at the church.

Dracula looked at his own hand resting on her flat abdomen. The soft, magnificent lavender gown was cinched at a waist so slender it seemed it could be spanned with a single hand.

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t see his expression.

She only heard his cold voice.

"Oh?"

Dracula stared at the little female’s stomach, almost driven mad with jealousy.

"You just gave birth to four of Don Locke K’s children, and now you’re pregnant with his wolf cub?"

The man lifted his gaze to stare at her, the corners of his mouth twitching into a smile, but his eyes held no warmth.

"If I recall correctly, Tang Luo Ke is still locked away underground."

"Do you go down there to find him every time?"

"In that dark, cold place..."

His voice was laced with a barely suppressed fury. "To mate with him?"

Yu Zhizhi froze.

...Huh?

Her mind was working a bit slowly. She tilted her head, her rabbit ears drooping to one side.

Oh! She understood!

Yu Zhizhi quickly explained, "No, this isn’t Tang Luo Ke’s cub. It’s... it’s yours."

She whispered the last few words.

She just felt shy.

Dracula was too close to her.

Just thinking about that night in the church made her blush.

She didn’t dare to look him directly in the eye.

"Mine?" Dracula was stunned.

His first reaction was—

’Impossible!’

Years ago, he had been tested and told he was unable to have children—that his line would end with him.

"Mhm... I only found out today. I was actually planning to find you at the church after the ceremony was over, but I didn’t expect to run into you here."

"Dracula, I didn’t mean to hide my identity. You know, you asked me that day, and I didn’t lie to you."

She tried her best to explain.

When Dracula had questioned her, Yu Zhizhi had merely remained silent.

She wasn’t willing to lie.

But she also didn’t know how to explain her identity.

Fortunately, Dracula hadn’t pressed her.

He had just assumed she was a little maid.

Dracula stared blankly at the little female’s abdomen. He couldn’t believe she was really carrying his Beast cub.

’How is this possible?’

No female in this world could continue his line.

And yet, this little rabbit was saying...

She was pregnant.

Dracula instinctively took a step back.

His earlier killing intent had vanished without a trace.

Or perhaps, from the moment Yu Zhizhi had called his name, he had lost all ability to harm her.

"Dracula, how long will you be staying here? I’d like to give you the cub after it’s born."

This was the K family’s domain. Yu Zhizhi could hide a suddenly appearing Beast Egg.

But what would she do after the Beast Egg hatched?

Dracula didn’t reply.

He was still reeling from the news, staring at the little female’s stomach, unable to process it for the longest time.

After a long moment, he murmured, "Do you... Do you want him to be your Beast Husband?"

Yu Zhizhi was confused. "Who?"

"Don Locke K."

"I haven’t thought about it..." Yu Zhizhi answered honestly.

’Haven’t thought about it?’

Dracula suddenly looked at her. "You don’t plan on bonding with him?"

"For now... no..."

Yu Zhizhi averted her gaze, feeling a pang of guilt.

She had never even considered bonding with anyone. freewebnσvel.cøm

With the Childbirth System, she needed to ’conquer’ different males. If she had to bond with every single one, she’d run out of room at home.

Besides, she didn’t have her own territory, her own house, or her own home right now.

This castle belonged to the K family; she was merely a guest, staying here temporarily.

Dracula’s composure finally wavered. A possibility occurred to him—

’The little female is carrying my cub, and she doesn’t want to marry Tang Luo Ke... Does that mean she might be willing to leave with me?’

Although, it was highly likely she was deceiving him.

Dracula didn’t want to dwell on it.

He only knew that she was willing to say these things to him. Even if it was all a lie, at least she was willing to put in the effort to tell it.

Seeing the man before her remain silent for so long, Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but look up and ask, "Dracula, what I told you... do you believe me?"

Seeing her bright, expectant eyes looking up at him, Dracula was moved. He bent his head and placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose.

"I believe you," he said, his voice soft.

A sweet smile spread across Yu Zhizhi’s face. She started to bend over to pick up the book, but realized her gown made it difficult and could only look to him for help.

Dracula crouched down and picked up the book.

He knelt on one knee. As he looked up, he saw the little female leaning forward slightly. From this angle, he had a perfect view of the slender waist wrapped in her lavender gown. His gaze slowly drifted upward...

The half-hidden view that met his eyes made his breath catch in his throat.

Dracula slowly raised his hand and gave the Ancient Book to her.
