1692: Unlike His Usual Self

Unlike His Usual Self

Xie Limo lowered his head to look at her stomach. "Stop wiggling. Even if you're ten months into the term, I will still be able to carry you."1

Yun Bixue chuckled. "Looks like I've underestimated my dear husband."

When she looked at her own figure, she felt that she was very heavy. That was why she was so startled when she saw Xie Limo carry her with ease.

"Put me down!"

"Not sleeping anymore?"

"I slept for quite a while on the sofa, so I'm not tired anymore." Actually, it was because she was bored without him at home. Since he came back, there was nothing boring anymore.

"Sure!" Xie Limo gently let Yun Bixue down.

After standing properly, Yun Bixue followed Xie Limo into the study. She would look at him as he did his work.

At the same time, she told him what she saw on the news.

Xie Limo listened to her seriously and patiently before caressing her hair. "Yup, my wife is becoming stronger and stronger."

"Limo, you're always patting me on my head like you're placating a young girl."

"You are my young girl."

Xie Limo's gaze was loving. The Yun Bixue from two years ago had a quieter personality. She would tell only him about how she felt.

That was why he liked hearing about her day. No matter how minute it was, even if the same things were repeated every day, he would be more than willing to listen.

If there came a day when she stopped telling him about her day, he would start to second guess and not be used to it.

A person's emotions were complicated. All he knew was that she was more important to him than himself.

In a blink of an eye, they entered September.

The weather was getting evidently colder. When Xie Limo went out in the morning, Yun Bixue would pass him an extra coat.

She would wait for him by the window when evening came.

The days passed on peacefully. Xie Limo protected her from the storms outside, so she could care for herself and the baby peacefully.

In less than two months, she would be able to see her child.

…

An Yexuan became better after more than ten days. He looked like he got even thinner, but his overall condition had improved.

After he was discharged, all he said to Xie Shiliu was a single sentence, "Fei'er, I know my mistakes."

"Oh? What did you do wrong?"

"I was wrong at pinning my hatred unjustifiably on that woman."

Xie Shiliu sneered inwardly. She did not treat An Yexuan like a normal person on usual days.

An Yexuan looked at Xie Shiliu's face. His gaze flickered, and he did not say anything else. Perhaps, only he would know what he was thinking about.

When the reporters interviewed him, he did not mention the incident from that day, choosing to remain silent even as they pushed relentlessly.

An Yexuan did not mention that Qin Huailing was the perpetrator either.

All these made Xie Shiliu think that An Yexuan was acting unusually. He changed a lot after his stay in the hospital.

Xie Shiliu's expression shifted slightly. She turned to An Yexuan and hesitated a little before asking, "Yexuan, is something the matter?"

An Yexuan looked at the trees outside the hospital as his eyes clouded over. "Fei'er, do you find me disgusting?"

Xie Shiliu was startled, and she quickly asked, "Yexuan, why do you say that?"

Did An Yexuan find out about something? After all, she didn't really try to hide and kept tormenting An Yexuan, hospitalizing him every week or so.
