Knock knock. Ji Fengmian’s cold voice sounded. “What are you doing in the washroom in the middle of the night?”
The smiles on their faces disappeared and Shen Fanxing gestured for Xu Qingzhi to keep quiet. Xu Qingzhi nodded before opening the door.
Xu Qingzhi hurriedly hugged Ji Fengmian. “Aunt Mian ~”
Ji Fengmian recognized Xu Qingzhi the moment he opened the door and allowed her to carry him.
“When did you arrive?”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I just arrived not long ago. I was supposed to attend Fanxing’s engagement party, but Fanxing left me at the party. I’m a pregnant woman and her best friend, yet she treated me like this…”
Ji Fengmian pushed her away and looked down at her stomach. “Since you’re pregnant, don’t be so noisy! Since you’re here, stay! Pregnant women are not allowed to stay up late. Go wash up and sleep!”
“Okay!”
Seeing Ji Fengmian leave, Xu Qingzhi winked at Shen Fanxing and said, “Pregnant women are not allowed to stay up late! Hurry up and find me a guest room! I want to recuperate.”
Shen Fanxing glanced at her and asked, “Why didn’t you pester me to sleep with you today?”
Xu Qingzhi blinked. “Of course… it’s inconvenient,” she said as she touched her stomach.
Shen Fanxing smiled and found a guest room for her on the second floor. After saying goodnight, she returned to her bedroom.
With every step, no, every heartbeat, every second, Shen Fanxing felt as though she was stepping on cotton candy. It was sweet and blissful, as though she was living in an illusory dream.
Her hand had been pressed on her heart, and the frequency of her heartbeat was almost jumping out of her chest.
When she reached out to open the door, she was wondering how she should tell Bo Jinchuan the news and how he would react.
She couldn’t imagine if he was happy or regretful.
He was happy that they finally had a baby. It was a pity that he had to live an abstinent life for a long time.
Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but smile at the thought of his face turning pale from the lack of benefits.
When the door opened, the smile on her face froze. She sensed that something was amiss in the room. Before she could react, a tall and dark night pressed down on her.
Almost instantly, she was wrapped in someone’s embrace.
The first thing she did was to grab the collar of the man’s shirt tightly. A refreshing scent entered her nose. However, she was still shocked by the sudden appearance of this “foreign object”. She raised her head and stared at the man who was much taller than her.
His handsome face had an oppressive heroic spirit, but it was the face she was most familiar with.
She did not let go of his shirt. Her nervous expression finally relaxed before it was replaced by surprise.
“How did you…”
She was puzzled, but she paused halfway.
As smart as she was, she could still figure out such an obvious thing.
No wonder Qingzhi didn’t come early in the morning but came to look for her in the middle of the night.
So she wanted to smuggle him in.
She didn’t know if Qingzhi was threatened or if she had received some benefits.
Her gaze subconsciously landed on his injured shoulder. She pursed her lips and her eyes welled up. She was still touched by the man’s efforts.
But he had only been in the hospital for three days and he had already recovered…
“You… Mmm…”
She couldn’t help but want to ask how his wound was, but the moment she spoke, her lips were sealed by the man’s slightly cold lips.
He swallowed her voice and her grip on his shirt tightened.
Bo Jinchuan slowed down his movements and strength as he kissed her lips gently.
“Did you miss me?”
Bo Jinchuan’s low and hoarse voice sounded between their breaths. Shen Fanxing’s eyelashes fluttered as she recalled how he had let her go so easily at the engagement party. He had even hidden the fact that he was injured from her. Her feelings were complicated.
Her rationality told her that he was doing this for her own good. She should be content. Otherwise, she would be unreasonable.
However, she was still a little sad. She didn’t know that he was injured. She had clearly sensed that something was amiss, but she had to find another way to find out what was wrong with him.
She didn’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark.
A white lie was also a lie. She didn’t like this feeling. She was terrified. She wanted to know everything about him because once she missed something, she felt that there was a gap between them. It was incomplete. She even had the illusion that she couldn’t grasp him at all.
That was why she was sad and unhappy.
“I didn’t,” replied Shen Fanxing indignantly.
“Ah…”
Just as she finished speaking, the man bit her lips forcefully.
“Have you thought about it?”
Shen Fanxing raised her hand to touch her lips, but Bo Jinchuan pressed his lips against hers as if to ease the pain.
Shen Fanxing blushed even more and placed her hand on his neck.
“… You’re the one who forced me to confess.”
Bo Jinchuan chuckled softly and said, “It’s good that you confessed.”
“… What’s there to be happy about?”
“Why did I hit you?”
“You…” Shen Fanxing’s face turned red again.
She had fallen into his trap!
“Since this is a confession, you can continue to be stubborn. I’ll hit you a few more times…”
