Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce

"I'm not falling for that. She doesn't even listen to you, her own daughter. As her son-in-law, I'm even more removed, so why would she listen to me?" Sun Dasheng was not about to be fooled.

After pinching her nose, he pinched her somewhat fuller cheeks.

"Looks like you've been eating well lately. Your cheeks are getting a bit chubby," Sun Dasheng teased.

Hearing that she'd gained weight didn't upset Wu Xiaoli in the slightest. Instead, she stroked her belly with a look of maternal love. "It's all for the health of your son, so he can grow up strong and absorb more nutrients. I'm the one suffering through this, so you'll have to make it up to me later."

"Of course I'll make it up to you. I'll make it up to you properly," Sun Dasheng said, stroking her belly as well.

But he quickly realized something. "Why do you say it's a son? Couldn't it be a daughter? Actually, I'd quite like a daughter."

"My mom told me the old wives' tale: cravings for sour food mean it's a boy, and spicy food means it's a girl. Since I got pregnant, I've loved eating sour things. Doesn't that mean it's a son?" Wu Xiaoli asked, puzzled.

Sun Dasheng looked at her and laughed heartily. "They say pregnancy makes a woman silly for three years, and I think you're starting to show the signs."

"You're terrible, making fun of me." Wu Xiaoli smacked him lightly.

Sun Dasheng caught her hand, intertwining their fingers. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. But you should pay less attention to these old superstitions. We should believe in science, right?"

"Are you saying I should go get a test to find out if it's a boy or a girl?" Wu Xiaoli asked.

Sun Dasheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So it's true that pregnancy affects your IQ.

"No, finding out the gender beforehand is illegal, so we won't do that. Besides, didn't I just say I'd prefer a daughter? It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Either way, I'll give you the same reward."

"Okay then." Wu Xiaoli rested her head quietly on his shoulder.

As they watched a kissing scene between the main characters of a TV drama, Wu Xiaoli suddenly turned her head and simply stared straight at him without a word.

He understood. She'd been abstinent for too long and was starting to crave him.

He lifted her onto his lap, positioning her carefully so as not to harm the baby. Then he cradled her face and gave her a gentle kiss.

This time, he kissed her with great restraint, not like with other women where he wouldn't let go until they were breathless.

When he pulled away, Wu Xiaoli's face was flushed red, and her eyes were smoldering. Her body pressed closer to his, and her hand drifted unconsciously toward that certain, unspeakable place.

"Brother Sun, I've missed you so much I'm going crazy. Can you... give it to me?" Wu Xiaoli whispered in his ear.

"You're still pregnant. We can't," Sun Dasheng refused decisively.

"Aren't you afraid it'll affect the baby?" Wu Xiaoli asked.

"Yes. For the baby's sake, you have to bear with it a little longer. After our child is born, I promise I'll make sure you're fully satisfied, okay?" Sun Dasheng pledged.

"But I specifically asked the doctor. He said the first and last three months are the dangerous periods when we can't have sex. The time in between is fine, as long as we're careful."

"You really can't hold it in any longer?" Sun Dasheng asked.

Blushing all the way to her neck, Wu Xiaoli buried her head in his chest and just nodded, letting out a soft "Mmm."

"Then let's be gentle and take it slow, okay?" Sun Dasheng whispered, embracing her.

Finally hearing him agree, a joyous smile blossomed on Wu Xiaoli's face. It was obvious she'd been holding back for so long she was about to burst. Right, during pregnancy, a woman's estrogen levels skyrocket. With so much estrogen in her system, of course her desire would be stronger.

"Don't move, I'll undress you," Sun Dasheng said, stopping her from taking the initiative.

He helped her sit up straight and began to remove her clothes, piece by piece.

When he had her stripped bare, he suddenly remembered they were in the living room. This seemed a little inappropriate.

"Should we go to the bedroom?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"It's fine, let's just stay here. My mom usually takes one or two hours to go grocery shopping. She might be a bit faster since you're here, but it won't be less than an hour. We have time."

Sun Dasheng took off his own clothes, revealing an explosive physique.

"Wow, the eight-pack is still there! Brother Sun, have you been keeping up with your workouts?" Wu Xiaoli's hands rested on his abdomen, captivated and unwilling to let go. "It feels much nicer than before, not so hard," she murmured.

Sun Dasheng watched her with a smile. Soon, however, he made a new discovery of his own.

He reached out and gave them a gentle squeeze. "What have you been eating lately? They've grown a lot."

Wu Xiaoli winced slightly. "My breasts have been swelling with milk. They're sore."

At this, Sun Dasheng was suddenly wide awake, his eyes lighting up. "Can I have some?"

His words left Wu Xiaoli speechless. "That's your child's future food. Are you going to fight him for it?"

"Well, it's not time for the baby yet, right? Wouldn't it all go to waste if I don't drink it now?" Sun Dasheng felt he had a valid point.

But she just covered her mouth and giggled. "You can express this and freeze it for later. When the baby needs it, you just have to thaw and warm it up."

"What? It can be stored for that long?" Sun Dasheng asked, surprised. His knowledge in this area was truly lacking.

Wu Xiaoli chuckled again. "Alright, you can have some. I was teasing you. It can only be stored for three to six months, so it really would be a waste if you don't have it now."
