He quickly rushed to the washroom, but the door was locked.
“Xue, what’s wrong? Xue?” Xie Limo kept calling her name in panic as he twisted the doorknob.
When Xie Limo recalled how Yun Bixue looked like whenever she had morning sickness, his expression turned serious. An intense look filled with worry flashed across his eyes.
Xie Limo’s voice was shaking as he said, “Xue, it’s my fault. Xue, quick open the door, please? Xue? Don’t scare me…”
Xie Limo felt really reproachful, and he started to panic.
He really felt like giving himself a good beating. What was wrong with him today? He knew that she was pregnant and had mood swings, but he still forced her like that. If she was not willing to say, then she did not have to say it.
Yun Bixue was retching inside while she heard Xie Limo’s worried and anxious calls.
At first, she was still angry with him over his harsh words, but when she heard his anxious voice, she really could not bear to ignore him and make him worry. She could not bear to wage a cold war with him.
He always treated her too well. The moment she thought of how good he had been to her, she did not want to bear grudges with him anymore.
“Xue, if you don’t open the door, I’m going to kick it down.”
Yun Bixue held on to the wall for support and washed her face. She wiped the sides of her mouth before opening the door.
When Xie Limo saw that Yun Bixue was fine, he hugged her at once and said, “Xue, don’t scare me.”
He only heaved a sigh of relief after hugging Yun Bixue. However, he felt that something was amiss on second thought. He immediately let go of Yun Bixue and observed her carefully. When he saw her pale and weak complexion, as well the hint of resentment and reproach in her eyes, his heart shuddered as his chest tightened.
“Xue, don’t be angry with me, okay? I’m sorry. It’s my fault today.”
When Yun Bixue heard Xie Limo say this, her heart could not help softening. She could not bear to see him being like this. “You said harsh words to me. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you the truth, I just didn’t want to make you think so much. I just want to help and shoulder some of your burdens, but you followed me in secret.”
Yun Bixue felt really aggrieved as she spoke.
Xie Limo blamed himself tremendously. His gaze was also filled with tender affection for her.
Yun Bixue could not handle being stared at with that gaze. “You kept ignoring me just now when I apologized to you. I can ignore you too if you apologize to me.”
“Don’t, Xue. I know I was wrong. Forgive me, please?” Xie Limo’s exquisite eyes glittered with an alluring charm. As he locked his gaze with hers, his eyes revealed his deep affection for her.
When Yun Bixue was pacified in this manner, the depressed mood she had been feeling went away as well. It was as if sunlight shone on her and chased away her cloudy skies.
She poked at Xie Limo’s chest with her fingers and said, “You’re not allowed to do this next time. You’re not allowed to say harsh words to me and not allowed to ignore me.”
“Okay, I made you upset. It’s my fault.”
“If you do this again, I won’t bother with you anymore.”
Xie Limo gave a gentle smile as his eyes glimmered with light. “Okay, I’ll listen to you from now on. I promise there won’t be a second time.”
Seeing how good Xie Limo’s attitude was, Yun Bixue began to reflect on herself. “Actually, it’s my fault too. I was afraid you would be worried, so I didn’t want to tell you the truth. If I told you the truth the moment I came in, would you not have been angry at all?”
Xie Limo’s expression changed slightly. If Yun Bixue told the truth, he would still be angry—angry that she did not tell him beforehand that she was going to find Majesty Huang.
In fact, his temper only came about because he did not see her when he came home.
“Don’t think too much. There won’t be a next time.”
Yun Bixue did not press Xie Limo for an answer either. It was just that she had not had dinner and retched quite badly just now, so she felt weak all over as she leaned against him.
