She smiled genially and said, "It's because I have you, that's why I'm not greedy."

Xie Limo bent down and kissed her cheek before placing his hand on her stomach to feel the baby's movements. His heart felt full.

He had the most precious person by his side. This was the best gift from Heaven to him.

Looking at Yun Bixue's glowing complexion and her charming eyes, Xie Limo could not help but say, "Xue, you're really beautiful."

Yun Bixue blushed slightly and lowered her head to hide her momentary awkwardness. "Everyone says that women become uglier after getting pregnant. I actually became prettier according to you. This doesn't make sense."

"Xue, you're exceptionally beautiful to begin with. You look even better now."

"All that sweet talk. You won't ever say this last time."

Xie Limo gazed at Yun Bixue and felt that life was pretty fulfilling even if he was just talking to her. "Xue, I just needed to know it in my heart last time. But I want to say it out now and tell you. These are not just sweet nothings."

"If other people knew, they would say that we're being flaunting our love on purpose!"

"No one else will know. We can just get along harmoniously on our own."

To Xie Limo, as long as Yun Bixue did not know about all those rumors spreading in the capital and did not get affected by it, it would be good enough.

The next morning, Xie Limo got up and planted a kiss on Yun Bixue's forehead before saying gently, "Happy birthday my wife, Xue."

He got off the bed gently without waking Yun Bixue up. He let someone keep watch on her while he decided to go outside.

He planned to bake a cake in the afternoon and make longevity noodles at night. However, there were no ingredients for baking cakes at home. He decided not to send people out to buy but do everything personally instead.

The cake shop and supermarket were just in the vicinity, so Xie Limo returned with his groceries after a short while.

However, he had just stepped into the courtyard when he heard a few servants complaining in the bushes.

"I never thought that Young Madam was such a person."

"Exactly. She had a past with so many men. No wonder people called her a woman with loose morals."

"Didn't you see how coquettish she was at home? Young Master Xie is always the one pacifying her and taking care of her. Who does she think she is for Young Master Xie to take care of her like this?"

"Exactly. She has such a bad reputation and still became the Young Madam. I don't know what Young Master Xie is thinking."

"Is he treating her so well because she's pregnant?"

"I don't know. I wonder if Young Master Xie has heard of the rumors spreading outside. Young Madam is behaving so coyly all the time."

"Haven't you heard of this phrase? Cheap s.l.u.ts are always coy? Isn't she just pregnant? She even needs someone to support her when she walks. Seeing that just p.i.s.ses people off…"

As Xie Limo heard the few servants talk, his face became even more sullen and dark. A murderous aura billowed around him at the same time.

"I think you all have nothing better to do."

That one line drained the color from those few servants' faces at once.

"Young Master Xie?"

"You still remember that I'm Young Master Xie and that you are servants of my Xie family?"

Xie Limo's tone was very, very cold. His gaze was icily sharp, as though it could freeze everything it saw. His gaze was also filled with a piercing, murderous intent.

The murderous intent in his voice made the few servants kneel on the floor immediately and start begging for mercy. "Young Master Xie, we didn't do this on purpose. Young Master Xie…"

"Young Master Xie, we're sorry. We didn't mean to say it."

"Young Master Xie, please have mercy. We… it's our fault. We shouldn't have gossiped about Young Madam."

Even though Xie Limo did not say a word and merely stood there coldly, it made these people understand that they had committed a huge mistake. It was uncertain whether Young Master Xie would spare their lives.
