Shangxin wrapped her towel tightly around herself. Her face turned red immediately as she thought of something else.
Looking at Tang Yuansi who was standing at the door, she started stammering,
“Erm, I don’t have…”
“What?” Tang Yuansi could not hear her properly as her voice became quieter towards the end.
“I didn’t bring…” Shangxin repeated herself.
Tang Yuansi still did not manage to hear her. Her face became increasingly red, as he stared at her in bewilderment.
Suddenly, he reached out to touch her forehead and asked worriedly, “Why is your face so red? Are you running a temperature?”
Shangxin was stunned by the touch of his cool fingers.
Immediately, she regained her composure, grabbed his hand and pulled it away from her forehead. She bit her lip, feeling embarrassed.
“I did not bring an extra set of underwear!”
“…”
Suddenly the room became silent.
Tang Yuansi was stunned for a second. He lowered his head and looked towards her chest.
Before he could see anything, a hand had already covered his eyes and a low growl could be heard, “Get me disposable underwear now! What are your eyes looking at!”
She had thought that Tang Yuansi would turn around after hearing her words.
Unexpectedly, he pulled the hand away that was covering his eyes and said, “The towel covered you, I didn’t manage to see anything. Please don’t be angry.”
“…”
“I know your size. I’ll get the butler to fetch you some.” Tang Yuansi said. He turned around to make his way out, leaving Shangxin standing in a daze at the bathroom door.
He could have just gotten them from the butler directly if he knew her size. Why did he have to tell her?
She had always been the one who was chasing him and she was used to it.
However, for some reason, his behavior caused her to feel a sense of shame. What should she do?
For the entire night, Tang Yuansi behaved in such a way that made it seem as though he was poisoned by a type of poison called “going to become a father”.
Not only did he look silly and zoned out, but he also became nervous easily.
After her shower, he was worried that she would catch a cold and insisted that she should be wrapped in a thick blanket.
After that, he carried her onto his lap. With a hairdryer in his hand, he blew-dry every strand of hair which had become wet when she was bathing.
When she could not finish her bird’s nest soup, he started worrying that she would be hungry in the middle of the night. Hence, he got the staff in the kitchen to prepare other healthy and nutritious desserts.
He also insisted that she ate a few more snacks brought by the butler.
“I am really full. I can’t finish it. I want to eat potato chips,” Shangxin said after swallowing the last piece of food in her mouth. She stared at him, looking visibly upset.
She was only pregnant and had not just returned from a refugee camp.
Why was he trying to force-feed her, as if she had never eaten a full meal in her life?
After Shangxin’s complaints, he replied matter-of-factly, “You’re too skinny. You should eat more.”
“I have always been thin, not because I am pregnant. Why weren’t you concerned about how much I ate in the past? I don’t care. I want to eat potato chips…” Before Shangxin could finish, she noticed Tan Yuansi’s stunned expression, and suddenly realized what she had said.
Her gaze darkened.
In the past, Tang Yuansi had always wanted to hide from her, why would he be concerned about what she was eating.
Both of them became silent when their past was mentioned.
Shangxin pursed her lips and could not help but repeat herself, “I want to eat potato chips.”
He kept on nagging that potato chips were unhealthy, and not allowing her to eat them.
This time, however, she really wanted to eat them. She wanted to eat them so badly that she would not be able to sleep if she did not get any.
It was a craving, where a pregnant lady would suddenly feel like eating something. If she did not manage to eat it, she would become grouchy, feeling as if the whole world had mistreated her. Would he even understand it?
