Huo Yunshen waited until his daughter fell asleep, and he scratched his head.
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Huo Yunshen said, “having Mo Yutian living so close to us. He’s getting too much contact with Ying Bao. Should we move him to someplace far from here?”
Huo Yunshen was thinking of moving Mo Yutian to a place where he was not close to them.
“It really is kind of frustrating, but at least he’s useful,” Jing Xi said. “He’s being really nice to Ying Bao too. If he hadn’t been there today, Ying Bao would’ve died in that accident. Plus, we have to wait and see if he has marrow that matches yours. Let’s wait until you’re fully healed.”
Jing Xi was willing to endure it since Mo Yuitan might be able to save Huo Yunshen’s life.
“All right,” Huo Yunshen said as he looked at his wife’s face worriedly. “You won’t fall for him, will you?”
“What are you even thinking about? You’ve already occupied my heart!”
Jing Xi knew that Huo Yunshen was getting jealous and tried to comfort him.
She lifted herself up a little and kissed her husband. She tried to hug him but let go seconds later.
“It really is hard to hug you now,” Jing Xi complained.
“You’re right,” Huo Yunshen said and turned her around, hugging her from behind. “See, I can hug you now.”
When Huo Yunshen rested his palm on Jing Xi’s belly, he could feel the babies kicking her stomach.
“I can feel them!”
“They’re greeting you.”
“I know,” Huo Yunshen said and closed his eyes, feeling every movement the babies were making.
He was feeling hopeful since he was about to meet them in a few weeks.
Since Jing Xi was about to give birth, her huge belly was making her uncomfortable when she tried to sleep. Huo Yunshen brought her a huge body pillow to help with her sleep.
They slept together on the bed with a body pillow separating them.
“How do you feel? Is the pillow helping you sleep?”
“Of course! But hugging you is better…” Jing Xi said as she raised her head over the pillow.
“Come over,” Huo Yunshen laughed.
Jing Xi threw the pillow to one side and hugged Huo Yunshen.
“Yup, this is better,” Jing Xi said.
“Good for you,” Huo Yunshen replied as he kissed her forehead. “Looks like it won’t be a comfortable night for me, you little devil.”
The little devil laughed and closed her eyes peacefully.
…
A shadow moved past the guards undetected and snuck out.
Mo Yutian came to the spot where he’d last met Yun Xuerou. She was already waiting for him.
“Xiao’er, do you know your mother is in custody right now?” Yun Xuerou said.
“She failed?”
In truth, Mo Yutian had already learned about it from the news.
“Yes. She’s being locked up. I need your help to save her.”
Since Yun Xuerou lacked manpower, she could only look for help from Mo Yutian. Even though Mo Yutian wasn’t what he used to be, a lot of the remaining Dark Zone members were still loyal to him.
