Evening.
The sun has set, and it’s dark.
Dong Xuebing drove out of the PLA General Political Department family quarters. He switched on the music player and listened to the pop songs while driving towards Qu Yunxuan’s place.
Dong Xuebing immediately calls Aunt Xuan when he enters the neighborhood.
“Xuanxuan, I have reached your building.”
“Oh, you had reached? Wait a while more.”
“It’s already 9.30 pm. It will be too late if I am going to wait a while more.”
“My parents had just entered their room and should not be sleeping yet. Wait a while more.”
“Ah… how about I go upstairs to look for you? They can scold and beat me for all they want.”
“Stop creating trouble for me. Just wait downstairs, or else I will give you a beating.”
Dong Xuebing smiles after he hangs up. He looked up and saw Qu Yunxuan looking down from her window. She signaled to him and closed the windows. The lights were off, and he finally heard footsteps down the stairs after waiting for ten minutes. A while later, Qu Yunxuan slowly walks out of the building in a white cotton maternity dress.
Dong Xuebing quickly got out and carried her across his arms, and kissed her forehead.
“Don’t be naughty.” Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “You might hurt our child if you drop me.”
“I know what I am doing.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I missed you a lot. Here’s another kiss.”
Qu Yunxuan laughed. “Get lost. We had only met two weeks ago, do you have to do this? Let’s get into the car first.”
Dong Xuebing laughed and carried her into the Mercedes. “Are you tired these few days?”
“The company is almost sold, and I just need to settle some minor matters. But it is not busy.”
“Let’s not talk about work now. Your priority is to give birth to a healthy baby. Let’s go back to our house.”
Dong Xuebing drove to North He Ping Street. This is the place they first met.
Qu Yunxuan’s apartment.
This small one-bedroom apartment still feels homely.
Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing’s nose lightly. “Why do you have to carry me up the stairs? Are you treating me as our national treasure?”
“You are my national treasure.” Dong Xuebing pushed her hand away and moved closer to kiss her.
“Stop it.” Qu Yunxuan pushed him away. “Move aside. I need to clean up. I have not been here for a few days, and it’s dusty.”
“Let me look at our baby first.” Dong Xuebing helped Qu Yunxuan to the sofa and kneeled in front of her. He kissed her tummy. “Haha… it has gotten so big now. Did the doctor tell you if our baby is a boy or girl?”
Qu Yunxuan rubbed her tummy gently. “The Doctor let me take a peep at the result during my last checkup. She is a girl.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Girl is good. She will be as pretty as you when she grows up.”
“What if he is a boy?”
“If he is a boy, he will be as capable as me.”
Qu Yunxuan is amused. “Stop boasting. You might be slightly capable, but you should be modest.”
Dong Xuebing retorted. “What else do I have other than my capabilities? I don’t have good looks.”
“Stop.” Qu Yunxuan stroked Dong Xuebing’s hair. “It’s good if our baby looks like you. I find you quite handsome.”
“I am handsome?!”
“I say you are handsome.”
Dong Xuebing is touched and lifts up Qu Yunxuan’s maternity dress, exposing her deep pink underwear.
Qu Yunxuan chided. “What are you trying to do?”
“I want to kiss your belly.” Dong Xuebing moved closer and kissed Qu Yunxuan’s tummy, near her belly button. He found her belly button interesting as it was protruding out and kissed it lightly. After that, he stroked her fair thighs.
Qu Yunxuan laughed and pushed his hands away. “Did I put on weight recently? My appetite had improved a lot recently.”
“No, you are fine. You are eating for two people and should eat more.”
“Stop kissing.” Qu Yunxuan covered her belly button and blushed. “It’s ticklish.”
The more Qu Yunxuan tries to stop him, the more Dong Xuebing wants to kiss her. He lifted her legs and started kissing her inner thighs.
Qu Yunxuan’s face had turned red, and she lifted her arm. “Stop it, or I will hit you.”
“I know you will not hit me.” Dong Xuebing ignored her warnings and continued kissing her body.
“Stop… ah… ah….” Qu Yunxuan moaned. “Stop bullying me.”
The kissing continued for a while, and Dong Xuebing stood up. He put his arm around Qu Yunxuan’s waist. “It’s getting late. We should go and rest now.”
Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “Are you thinking of something else?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “This is not the first or last trimester, and it’s fine for us to do it. If you are worried, we can go through the backdoor.”
“Stop having these naughty thoughts.” Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing’s nose. “Are you not shy?”
“Then tell me, what should I do? I missed you badly.”
“Let’s talk in the room first. I shall see your performance before I decide.”
“Oh, this means I stand a chance?”
“Haha… I did not say that.”
Dong Xuebing got excited and carried Qu Yunxuan into the room. He closed the door behind him and placed her gently on the bed before taking off all his clothes.
“Your complexion is so smooth.”
“Stop touching and chat with me.”
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Who did you offend after you were posted to Nan Shan District?”
“Hah… how do you know I had offended others?”
“How can you not offend people or create trouble with your temper?”
“This is not my fault. They are the ones who provoked me first. For example, our District Organization Department Chief, Xue Qingrong….”
Dong Xuebing started to grumble to Aunt Xuan.
After talking for a while, Dong Xuebing’s hand started moving.
A few minutes later, Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing’s roaming hand and turned her head away. She closed her eyes slightly and hooked her legs around his waist. “I shall make an exception for you today. But don’t be too strenuous. Do you hear me?”
Dong Xuebing is surprised. This is the first time Aunt Xuan has been so proactive.
Dong Xuebing moved into position carefully and started moving gently.
