Xie Limo said gently in Yun Bixue’s ear, “Ah Xue, I understand. So when kinship comes, you need to follow your heart.”
Xie Limo knew that Yun Bixue lacked kinship since young, for she only had her grandfather and younger sister by her side.
Furthermore, her grandfather had always been busy, and her younger sister had to go to school. Later, after Yun Bilu went overseas, Yun Bixue was left all alone.
He understood her loneliness, as well as her feelings of desire and worry.
Yun Bixue looked up at Xie Limo and asked in a confused manner, “Follow my heart?”
“Yes.”
“Then, Limo, how exactly am I related to Wang Qianjin?”
Xie Limo shook his head. “I don’t know the specifics yet, but I will verify this matter.”
Yun Bixue actually felt glad inside. All these years, she had been pining for family, for her real kin, but she had been used to loneliness for so long that she nearly didn’t dare believe it now.
But while she was chatting with Xie Limo, she gradually accepted this possibility, unable to resist a happy smile on her lips.
Seeing Yun Bixue in a great mood, Xie Limo’s emotions calmed down by a lot too.
At the thought of the matter that had vexed him, Xie Limo asked, “Ah Xue, you heard of the news today. You’ve suffered grievance.”
Yun Bixue shook her head. “I don’t feel aggrieved. Xiajun Yanwu is merely shooting herself in the foot by doing this. I believe plenty of people will stand up for me.”
Xie Limo poked her on the nose. “So full of confidence in yourself?”
“If I wasn’t mentally prepared, I wouldn’t have refused her visit.”
Xie Limo raised his brows as he gazed at Yun Bixue’s nonchalant manner. “Were you planning to see her today?”
Gazing at the slightly darkened expression in Xie Limo’s eyes, Yun Bixue replied with a smile, “No, I never planned on seeing her from the start. You’ve told me there’s more to this princess than meets the eye. I wouldn’t very well put myself in danger.”
An approving glint flashed by in Xie Limo’s eyes. “Very clever. You know what to do.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to me at this critical moment.”
Xie Limo said seriously as he stared at Yun Bixue’s huge tummy. “It’s been hard on you.”
Having stayed vigil by Yun Bixue’s side for more than nine months, Xie Limo truly understood that it’s not easy to be a mother. That was why he thought every one in the world should show their mothers utmost respect and filial piety.
Affected by this realization, he had tried calling his mother recently. Even if he only spoke a few words, she was very happy to hear his voice.
He had heard others say it wasn’t easy for parents, and it was only now when he was about to become a parent himself that he experienced it himself.
He now understood the meaning of this sentence.
“It’s not hard. You don’t understand the joys of being a mother.” Every time she recalled the little boy she dreamed of, there was a joy and anticipation in her heart.
“I experienced the joys of being a father.”
Yun Bixue urged Xie Limo, “There’s ten-odd days before my expected date of childbirth. Have you thought of a name for the baby?”
Xie Limo’s brows twitched. “We don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl.”
“Remember, we’ve agreed on this, the name of our child should have the word ‘Zhen.’”
Until now, Yun Bixue remembered that younger sister Xie Limo lost, Xie Lizhen, that beautiful girl. She had said before that if she were to have a child with Xie Limo, the name of their child should have ‘Zhen in it’, in remembrance of Xie Limo’s younger sister.
Xie Limo felt touched. It turned out she had remembered all along.
Xie Limo lowered his head and kissed Yun Bixue’s hair. “Ah Xue, thank you for remembering Younger Sister.”
