Yun Bixue said with a pout, “I’m already fat now, okay?”
Actually, Yun Bixue had selfish motives for wanting Xie Limo to fatten up. She felt that once her Mr. Xie got fatter, there wouldn’t be as many people having designs on him?
But while one could dream, her Mr. Xie was the sort of person who wouldn’t get fat no matter how much he ate, the kind of person who forever maintained the perfect proportions of a mannequin.
Yun Bixue got to her feet and off the sofa. Immediately, Xie Limo placed her slippers next to her feet as he said, “When I wasn’t around at home, you didn’t walk around barefooted, did you?”
“No, I naturally know how to protect my body well.”
Xie Limo lamented, “You’re pregnant now and should behave like the mother of a child. In the past, you’ve been walking around barefooted.”
Yun Bixue recalled what happened then and felt sweet inside. In the past, she didn’t view herself with importance, and it was normal for her to walk around barefooted.
But every time Xie Limo saw that, his heart would ache. He would show a worried expression, then carry her to the bed and put on slippers for her.
Every moment of it was engraved in her heart, warming up her soul.
Yun Bixue put on her slippers and walked towards the bathroom.
“Where are you going? I’ll help you!”
Yun Bixue waved a hand and said, “The doctor said I ought to exercise more. With a month to my confinement, I had better exercise in order to have a smooth delivery.”
Although Xie Limo felt that what Yun Bixue said made sense, seeing her walk step by step with that huge tummy still made his heart tremble.
Hence, Xie Limo walked by her side.
Yun Bixue didn’t know what to do about that. “We’re in the same house. Don’t worry about me. Seeing you this nervous makes me nervous too.”
Yun Bixue then turned around and reached out to smooth out Xie Limo’s furrowed brows. “Don’t frown. It makes you look bad.”
To Yun Bixue, Xie Limo’s mood had a huge impact on hers.
“Okay.”
When she got to the bathroom, Yun Bixue threw the set of clothes Xie Limo took off into the dustbin next to the bathroom.
“You mind so much? Jealous?”
“Not at all. I trusted you to begin with.” She simply didn’t like the smell of such perfume in the house, for it affected her mood.
Xie Limo hugged Yun Bixue from behind and rested his head on the top of hers, murmuring, “But I’d like to explain.”
Although he felt that the way his wife minded this looked very adorable, he didn’t wish to have any ill feelings arise between the two of them over this matter.
Only when a married couple is honest to each other would they not keep things bottled up in their hearts.
Once they do that and it imploded, it would easily destroy their affections for each other.
Even though he knew Yun Bixue believed in him, he wanted to clarify matters.
Yun Bixue couldn’t resist smiling as she said, “You’re the one who took the initiative to explain, okay? You can’t say I’m a jealous and paranoid woman.”
“Okay.” Xie Limo felt that his wife spoke amusingly. Sometimes he couldn’t resist the urge to laugh, but he would suppress the laughter with a cough.
Xie Limo then explained to Yun Bixue about the flowers in the conference room.
Yun Bixue had absolute faith in Xie Limo’s explanation. “You can send someone to secretly investigate who’s the one who placed those flowers there and attended to them. These people might be spies, so you need to be careful.”
Xie Limo naturally understood. The imperial capital was undergoing a major shift now, so he certainly couldn’t keep any suspicious characters by his side.
At mealtime, Yun Bixue asked casually, “Limo, you’ve been in contact with Princess Yanwu quite frequently lately. What sort of a person do you think she is?”
