Xie Limo's original intention was to make her happier by coming to Country X and use this chance to bring her out of Country A so that those rumors would not hurt her.

 But what he did not expect was that Country X wouldn't be peaceful as well.

 He calculated everything precisely, but he miscounted for Bai Yaoyao, not knowing that she still had to pa.s.s this hurdle before her marriage.

 To him, he felt that Duan Yanhao didn't do a good enough job. If he did more, n.o.body could harm Bai Yaoyao.

 But he himself did not do a good job during his and Bixue's marriage as well. An Yexuan's people made use of their status in the imperial capital to oppress her. Although he retaliated, that episode still happened.

A man would understand another. Even if they tried and wanted to do it well, there would be times when they would miss out on some things. After all, they were not omnipotent.

Xie Limo looked over Yun Bixue. Not long after, Yun Bixue furrowed her brows before she woke.

 After waking up, Yun Bixue wanted to sit up.

 “You've only slept for a while, why did you wake up?” He asked gently. He then stood up to slot a pillow behind Yun Bixue's back to help her sit up.

 Yun Bixue rubbed her head to wake herself up. “It's not good to sleep too much.” In fact, she would rouse easily from her sleep because she was worried over many things, which she couldn't help.

 She felt helpless inside, and this sort of feeling tired her out immensely. She disliked her current self but had no choice but to squash down this doubt that was surfacing in her heart. For the child she was carrying, she had to force herself to remain calm.

 Looking at the tired form of Yun Bixue, Xie Limo kissed her between her brows. “Did you not sleep well? Even if you're tired, you can't sleep well?”

 Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo in astonishment and blinked. Her husband was really a mind reader!

 Yun Bixue smiled. “You even know how to read minds?”

 “You have been in my heart, and I know you better than I know myself. With that frown between your brows, how can I not notice?”

 “Okay, okay. I'm not that weak. I will be okay in a few months.” As she spoke, she caressed her stomach gently. “No wonder Bilu was that shocked. I haven't seen her ever since New Year. Now that it's five months into the pregnancy, my stomach has actually gotten a lot bigger.”

 Xie Limo's expression s.h.i.+fted, and he said in a crisp voice, “In the past, I didn't know how hard it was to be a mother, but now that I see it, being a mother is n.o.ble and not an easy job.”

“Thinking about Mum?”

 Xie Limo nodded. Indeed, seeing how tough it was for Yun Bixue right now, he couldn't help but wonder if it was as hard for Ji Qiongxin back then when she was carrying him.

 She had to take good care of herself, and at the same time, become a good mother figure for the Xie household while protecting the child. It must have been difficult.

 Yun Bixue pulled Xie Limo's hands into hers and said in a gentle tone, “Mum did not have it easy. When we return to the headquarters, we have to be more filial to her.”

 Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue on the head. “Remember what you just said. You have to always be by my side even when we go back to the headquarters.”

 Yun Bixue smiled indulgently. “When am I not with you? Wherever you are, I would be there. Wherever you are, my home would be with you.”

 Xie Limo's heart stirred as waves roared within. Unable to hold back, he tugged Yun Bixue into an embrace and showered her with kisses.

 It was not possible for Yun Bixue to defend against him. Her body, which was already sensitive, melted into a pile of water. “Hngh… Don't press onto it…”

 When Xie Limo finally let Yun Bixue go, his eyes were filled with adoration for her. “Don't worry, I know my boundaries.”
