Yun Bixue gave a small chuckle. “If I really become a shrew, would you still like me?”
“You are my wife no matter how bad you are. Besides, you are still very good.”
“You’re getting better and better at saying sweet nothings. I can’t even tell if you’re being serious.”
Xie Limo chuckled. He stroked Yun Bixue’s hair and said, “You know it. The things I say have always come from my heart.”
Yun Bixue was in a good mood. She hugged Xie Limo and rested her head against his neck, closing her eyes as she said, “Limo, I am very happy.”
“I know.”
“But it made you more stressed.”
“Protecting you and our child is my duty. I will gladly endure it.”
When resting against Xie Limo’s body, Yun Bixue felt drowsy, so after yawning, she eventually fell asleep.
When Xie Limo heard her clear, light breathing, he could not help but smile. His eyes were filled with indulgence for her.
Xie Limo waited until she fell into deep sleep before quietly carrying her to the heated bed. He covered her with a blanket before sitting at the head of the bed to watch her.
Yun Bixue got easily sleepy these few days. After dinner, she would fall asleep after talking for a while.
Hence, aside from meal times and when the servants came in to wait on them, he and Yun Bixue would be the only ones in the house. The quiet environment was conducive to her rest.
He had heard from others that after a few months of pregnancy, when the stomach gets bigger, it would not be easy for her to sleep.
There was a trace of heartache in Xie Limo’s gaze, but there was no way he could shoulder the burden for her. The only thing he could do was to think of everything in advance for her.
That night, Xie Limo gave Xie Liu a call and said, “Rein in the net on the Lu family as soon as possible.”
“Yes!”
Xie Liu understood that ever since Lu Suyan had the intention to kill Young Madam, it marked the end of the legacy of the whole Lu family. Young Master Xie would definitely wipe out the whole family.
“Although Lu Suyan had been driven out of the Lu family, you can still find points to break through from her. Out of all the descendants in the Lu family, there must be some that have been jealous of Lu Suyan. This is the moment for them to beat her down even more. When Lu Suyan’s resentment and hatred reaches a certain point, she will want to inflict damage upon the Lu family. You can make good use of that then.”
“Understood!” Xie Liu knew that Young Master Xie was skilled at using the weaknesses of their enemies. In this way, taking down the Lu family would not require much effort.
The next day when Yun Bixue woke up, it was almost noon.
She washed up and checked the time before saying to Xie Limo, “Yaoyao said she’s going back to Ning An City to take a look. It’s been a few days now. Why hasn’t she returned?”
“Didn’t you just call her yesterday?”
“Yeah, I called her yesterday. She said she’s coming back today, but it’s already noon and she’s not back yet.”
“Don’t worry, you can call her again later.”
“Okay.” Thinking of Bai Yaoyao, Yun Bixue actually felt a little worried. She had a feeling that Bai Yaoyao had many troubles on her mind.
She asked Bai Yaoyao, but Bai Yaoyao did not tell her either. She knew that it was because she was pregnant, so Bai Yaoyao only chose to tell her the happy things and tried her best not to talk about the unhappy ones.
When it was almost time for lunch, Bai Yaoyao came back. Yun Bixue heaved a sigh of relief as she said, “Yaoyao, you’re finally back. If not, I’ll be so worried.”
Bai Yaoyao immediately held Yun Bixue as she said, “Be careful and walk slowly. You scared me. I told you that I’ll be back by noon, so I definitely will.”
Yun Bixue was a sensitive person, so she could clearly see that something was wrong from Bai Yaoyao’s expression. “Yaoyao, is there something troubling you?”
