Xie Limo let out a sigh of relief. He was wondering what it was, but this gasp from Yun Bixue dispersed the tense atmosphere in the room.
"Xue, it's fine if it gets cold. I will go and heat these up."
"No, I will do it. You must be tired, so take a rest." As Yun Bixue said that, she brought the dishes back into the kitchen to reheat.
Xie Limo sat outside at the table as he listened to Yun Bixue, who was humming a tune under her breath, while she heated the dishes.
He couldn't help his softening expression as he chuckled softly.
His wife had an optimistic bone in her. Otherwise, how could she remain kind and determined after going through so much when she was young?
The burden and heaviness in his heart vanished completely as he became caught in her pace.
Life still had to go on, and one day, he will achieve his goals.
He believed that the time he would be able to bring his wife back to the headquarters would come soon.
While they were eating, Yun Bixue's stomach started hurting. She went straight to the toilet and almost puked out the dishes she ate.
Xie Limo was very worried, so he followed her and stroked Yun Bixue's back gently. He asked softly, "Xue, could it be that you are pregnant?"
Yun Bixue snorted as she saw the worried and anxious expression on Xie Limo's face.
She explained, "We've just returned. Even if I was pregnant, the reaction wouldn't be this soon. You're thinking too much. I think you should probably read up more on common sense."
Xie Limo nodded seriously. "Okay, I will look it up later."
Yun Bixue seemed to be choking on something. She simply mentioned it casually, but he treated her words seriously.
"There's no need to be so anxious. Even if I was pregnant, I heard that it would take at least twenty days before anything would show up on the tests."
Xie Limo's expression was still slightly serious. "Then what's with this discomfort and puking?"
"I probably ate something wrong and caused a stomach upset? I think I'm alright, so don't make a mountain out of a molehill."
Yun Bixue did not treat it seriously, but Xie Limo was still worried. He asked, "Should we get the doctor to check on it this afternoon?"
"I'm not that fragile. Listen to me, alright?"
Hearing Yun Bixue's soft voice, his heart could only soften and heed her requests.
…
When it was about five in the evening, Xie Wu drove a plateless car and threw Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan on a bustling street.
Afterwards, he drove the car away and blew it up by the road. Evidence that could be tied back to this car had all been destroyed.
Eventually, Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan were discovered by pa.s.sersby, who contacted the Jiang family. Even the reporters came to take photographs so they could report on it as soon as possible.
For the reporters, the faster and more impactful the news were, the more money they could earn.
When Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan opened their eyes, they were being surrounded and looked upon as if they were monkeys.
After waiting a few hours and making sure that Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan were surrounded for long enough, Jiang Shantao finally brought people from the Jiang family.
"Father, what happened to you and Younger Sister? How did the two of you become like this? It's all my fault for not being able to find you…"
Jiang Shantao acted like he felt sorrowful, which angered Master Jiang further.
"Let's go back quickly. Staying here is a disgrace."
After finally making sense of the situation, Master Jiang couldn't help but want to hide himself in a hole.
