Chapter 1696: Waiting For Him To Ask

Yun Bixue sat down on the sofa with the help of Xie Limo. “I know that they are doing a good job of taking care of me.”

 Yun Bixue only found out later on that many of their previous servants were sent back to the headquarters by Xie Limo. The servants now both feared and respected her.

 She could understand them, so she didn't wish for Xie Limo to blame them.

 After walking, Yun Bixue actually realized that she was tired. Now that her tummy was rounder and her legs swelled, she gets tired easily.

Sometimes, she would think that this was the result of her not doing anything at all. After all, many pregnant women continue to work right till their child's birth. They did fine too, right?

 But if she ever mentioned that she wanted to work, Xie Limo would definitely be the first person to disagree. It would upset him, which was why Yun Bixue did not suggest it.

 Xie Limo sat down soon after she did, ma.s.saging her legs lightly for her.

 “This girl, you don't know how much my heart ached. Every night when I see your swollen legs, you have no idea how I feel inside.”

 Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue's legs as he continued ma.s.saging them while nagging.

 Yun Bixue reached out to smoothen the crease between his brows. “Limo, all pregnant women are like that. I'm not the only one, so don't worry. I will get better once the child is born.”

“Soak your leg tonight and rest well.”

 “Okay.” Although she was talking to Xie Limo, her mind wasn't with him as she was thinking about her conversation with Miao Zifu.

 Xie Limo looked up and noticed the glazed over look in her eyes. He asked, “There's something off with you today. Is something the matter?”

 Yun Bixue nodded. She had some worrying things that were troubling her after all.

 Xie Limo pinched her nose. “You didn't take the initiative to tell me and even waited for me to ask you.”

 Yun Bixue pouted. “I knew you would definitely realize, so the result was going to be the same anyway.”

 “It's the same?”

 A glint flashed across Yun Bixue's eyes. “Actually if I told you only after you asked, it shows that you care about me.”

 “Do I not care about you normally?”

 “You do! I just wanted you to continue to care about me.”

 Xie Limo pulled her over and pecked her on the forehead lightly, like a dragonfly touching the water. Nowadays, he always had to control himself. If they engaged in a deep kiss, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to hold himself back and end up igniting both of them on fire.

 But caring for her health was more important than his needs right now.

 The doctor advised before that her const.i.tution wasn't great, so she would tire easily. She shouldn't go through too much, or she might be in danger.

 He couldn't afford to risk it, so he could only try not to let her worry and go through the ten months peacefully.

 It was already September. November was the expected month of birth. It was drawing close, and he was getting more and more anxious as well.

 All he knew was that it was incredibly difficult for women to give birth. He looked forward to that day, but he was nervous as well.

 Sometimes, he felt that he was becoming more unlike himself.

 Of course, Yun Bixue had no idea of the turmoil within Xie Limo. She blinked her eyes and asked seriously, “Limo, do you know if there exists a Ye family internationally?”

 Xie Limo's ma.s.sage paused, and his brows furrowed. He raised his head and asked, “Why do you ask?”

 Seeing Xie Limo's expression, Yun Bixue's heart thumped. “Limo, the Ye family exists, am I right? Is there something wrong with it?”
