"Even if you are pregnant now, I will not take responsibility for it," that was like Wu Jingguo's final answer to Yu Ming's question even if he paused for a moment as if he was taken aback by the question.
Hearing the answer from the Prince, Yu Ming suddenly got up from the bed before walking towards the Prince and stopping right in front of him. Pointing his index finger at the Prince's chest a few times, he then scolded the Prince, "Are you a man? How can you easily say that you won't take responsibility if I really am pregnant? How can you escape responsibility so easily? That's not an attitude of a Prince!"
Yu Ming seemed bothered by the answer he just received, but Wu Jingguo was not to be outdone as he immediately caught the older man's finger before replying, "Why should I take responsibility? You slept with a lot of men, so even if you're pregnant, the child might not be my son, right? Why should I be responsible for a child who isn't even mine?"
Yu Ming gasped in disbelief after hearing Wu Jingguo's question, and he even withdrew his finger from the man's grip as he replied, "In the past month, I've only slept with you and no one else, and that's why that child must be yours if I really pregnant!"
The fish demon suddenly looked confident and sure of what he had just said, and Wu Jingguo's breath even caught after hearing what the demon had just said.
At this time, Wu Jingguo didn't immediately rebuke, and he looked as if he was speechless after receiving the backlash from the fish demon. His lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, but it seemed like he had finally noticed something was off here, and even his brows were furrowed with the realization.
"Why are we even talking about responsibility? Why are we talking about pregnancy? You're not even pregnant, are you?"
That was the question that left the Second Prince's lips, and both of them simultaneously turned their gazes toward Yu Ming's flat belly. Yu Ming even brought his hand to touch his flat stomach as if trying to feel whether there was a fetus in his stomach or not, and Wu Jingguo probably thought the same as he kept looking at the body part that was covered by clothes.
"Do you think I'm pregnant now?" Instead of answering, Yu Ming asked back, and Wu Jingguo snorted after hearing it.
"You are the owner of the belly, so you are the one who should know whether you are pregnant or not! Why are you even asking me about that?" Annoyed, Wu Jingguo coldly replied to Yu Ming's question, and Yu Ming finally looked up from his belly and frowned at the taller man.
Without saying anything, Yu Ming reached out to Wu Jingguo's hand before bringing it to his stomach. Wu Jingguo looked confused by what the fish demon was doing, but then he could see how his palm landed smoothly on the demon's flat belly.
"I really don't know what's in my stomach except what I ate today, so maybe you can help me detect if I'm pregnant or not?"
"..." Wu Jingguo looked speechless after hearing the demon's question.
At this time, Wu Jingguo couldn't help but think that the two of them were very foolish. The whole pregnancy talk was already ridiculous, but they didn't stop it even if they knew about it.
In the end, Wu Jingguo didn't immediately withdraw his hand from Yu Ming's stomach as if he was truly feeling what was inside his stomach. As he furrowed his brows to feel what was under his palm, he didn't really know what was inside Yu Ming's stomach, and he could only feel warmth under his palm.
He suddenly looked agitated by the position of his hand on Yu Ming's clothed belly, and that's why he finally withdrew his hand. "It's nothing. I believe you're not the chosen one, so let's stop being ridiculous. I have some important questions I want to ask you," he coldly decided.
In the end, Wu Jingguo chose to talk about other things. As long as they didn't continue to talk about male pregnancies in the demon realm, he assumed that he wouldn't feel so awkward anymore, and that was why he hoped Yu Ming would cooperate with him.
And it seemed Yu Ming also didn't have any plans to prolong their pointless talk about pregnancy, and that was why he only shrugged before uttering a reply, "What do you want to ask me, Your Highness? Are you going to ask about The North Peak and the South Slum?"
Hearing Yu Ming's casual response, Wu Jingguo's eyes widened slightly before he replied, "How did you know about the things I wanted to ask you?"
It was not an answer coming from the Prince, but it was enough to make Yu Ming feel proud. The fish demon grinned as he pointed his index finger at the Prince's face as said, "Your face is like a book, and you write your every thought on your face. It's not hard to read you just by looking at your face, Your Highness."
"…" Wu Jingguo didn't answer immediately, but when he recalled what happened when the two of them had just met the group of demons in the South Slum region, he indeed didn't try to hide his curiosity, and perhaps it was indeed easy for Yu Ming to read his mind then.
Silently, the Prince admitted defeat, and he sighed before replying, "You know what I want to know, so I hope you explain everything to me soon."
This time, Yu Ming grinned proudly as he pulled his hand away from in front of Wu Jingguo's face, and then he answered in a teasing tone, "Talking about the North Peak and the South Slum will probably take hours to complete. Do you want to spend the night with me as I tell you the details about those two matters, Your Highness?"
