1538: Don't Want to be Kept in the Dark

Don't Want to be Kept in the Dark

Xie Limo put the piece of fish down and wiped his hands before stretching out his hand gently to wipe away Yun Bixue's tears.1

However, Yun Bixue turned her head away and avoided him. She used the back of her hands and wiped her tears away roughly. She sniffled a little and refused to look at Xie Limo again.

Seeing the reaction from Yun Bixue, Xie Limo also realized that he had been too harsh with his words just now.

He sighed lightly in his heart. His mood was getting a little out of control recently, and it fluctuated entirely according to her mood swings.

Perhaps he had been too anxious, so his temperament was a little uptight. He was like a spring that rebounded hard when overstretched, so his words could be a little harsher than usual.

He knew he was wrong, so he toned down and said gently, "Xue, I'm sorry. My words were a bit harsh just now. Don't be angry with me, alright?"

Yun Bixue lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not angry with you."

She replied to him because she did not want to make him feel bad either.

She knew that after she got pregnant, he had been equally worried and anxious for her. He only said that because he was worried for her.

However, his cold voice and harsh words really made her feel aggrieved, and she felt like crying.

If she could control her emotions, she would not cry this easily. Hence, she understood he probably could not control his emotions too, which made him say that.

Understanding was one thing. Whether she minded it or not was another thing altogether.

Anyway, her heart felt cold and uncomfortable now.

Xie Limo stood up and walked over to Yun Bixue, wanting to hug her in his arms. However, she shunned him and did not want to lean into his embrace.

He was standing so close to her. Breathing in the light, fragrant scent on his body still made her heart uncontrollably enticed.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have been angry with you. But you must understand, the things I don't allow you to do are all for your own good."

Yun Bixue turned around suddenly. "You kept me in the dark for my own good as well?"

"This is a white lie!"

Yun Bixue's eyes reddened as tears welled up in her eyes. She stared at Xie Limo solemnly and said, "Limo, I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark. This makes me feel like I'm a fool. I have already told you right from the start. I am not a weak vine. I want to be a tall tree that can stand strongly beside you. I know you mean well, but I don't feel good at all. I find it very hard to understand, and I believe you also find it hard to understand how I feel."

Xie Limo pressed on her shoulder gently. "Don't cry anymore. Look, it's not good for the child if you cry."

"The child, the child. Everything is for the child. Limo, can you spare a thought for me?" As she said that, she pushed Xie Limo and stood up to leave.

Xie Limo held on to her arm and pulled her over. Yun Bixue immediately leaned into Xie Limo's embrace out of habit.

"Limo, what are you doing?"

"Even if you're angry with me, you should finish your food first. You're the one I'm worried about. If you go hungry, your body will feel uncomfortable. The child is in your body all along. Your moods and emotions will only affect you. How can I feel good seeing you get morning sickness and not sleeping well? I even feel that after this child is born, I should smack his bottom for giving you such a hard time."

Yun Bixue held Xie Limo's hand and said, "No one says things like that. You're not allowed to say that, and you're not allowed to bully the child."

"Okay, but you must eat your meals properly. Since you're worried about the child yourself, you should make sure to get the proper nutrition."

Yun Bixue shut her eyes and shook off all her frustrated emotions before she sat down and started to eat earnestly.

Seeing that she was eating again, Xie Limo caressed her head and felt really heartened.
