Xie Limo's body turned stiff after hearing it too. He turned to Yun Bixue, and with an ambiguous look in his eyes, he asked, "You heard about it?"

Yun Bixue didn't know why, but she didn't dare to look at Xie Limo now. She felt that the look in his eyes was too intense.

Yun Bixue let go of Xie Limo's hands and fiddled with her fingers. "Were you intending to keep it from me?"

Despite her tone, Yun Bixue felt rather insecure saying those words.

Why did she feel insecure, though? She didn't do anything wrong!

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue intently. Pursing his lips, he didn't say a single word.

Although she wasn't looking at him, she could feel him glaring at her. It was as though his gaze could bore a hole through her head.

Her heart raced erratically, but she still had to stand firm.

She chose to believe that he wouldn't lose his temper at her because she was pregnant.

Yun Bixue tossed her worry away and raised her head. "Limo, did you already find out about the matter with Grandfather? Did you hide everything from me?"

Yun Bixue looked into Xie Limo confidently without glancing away.

Xie Limo could sense what she was feeling through her eyes. She was confused and rather hurt.

"I wasn't trying to hide it from you. It wasn't time yet."

Yun Bixue turned away and muttered, "That's what you always say. You know how much my Grandfather means to me, but you kept me in the dark."

After speaking, Yun Bixue waved her hand and said, "You can continue talking. I'm going back to sleep."

She couldn't bear to fight with Xie Limo nor make him upset. Therefore, she could also conceal her own sadness and return to her room.

The two of them have been together for so long. How could Xie Limo still not know what Yun Bixue was feeling?

He grabbed Yun Bixue's hand immediately and pulled her back. As she looked at him in confusion, he picked her up instantly and carried her in his arms.

Xie Limo maintained a stern face and carried Yun Bixue back into the room.

Without saying a single word, Xie Limo turned around and left the room.

Yun Bixue's heart also stopped. She could tell that Xie Limo was livid. She yelled, "Limo, you can't punish Xie Wu. Xie Jiu had already left after the incident at Gui County. You can't punish Xie Wu too."

Xie Limo swung the room's door a little too hard, and the handle broke off.

As it landed with a thud, Yun Bixue's lips trembled. Oh no, he was truly angry now.

When Xie Limo turned around, Yun Bixue immediately put on her most innocent look and said, "Limo, I only feel a.s.sured when Xie Wu is by your side. I know what he is capable of. Moreover, he saved me too. You cannot be so strict on him."

Xie Limo gazed darkly at Yun Bixue, seemingly swallowing her up. "Yun Bixue, do you feel sorry over such a trivial matter?"

Yun Bixue grabbed Xie Limo's sleeve and began to cry. "No, Limo. I know you did it all for me. I was wrong, but as your wife, can't I have a say in who stays by your side too?"

She knew that being persistent wouldn't work now. Xie Limo would only listen to her if her reasoning made sense.

Nevertheless, his anger and him ignoring her truly made her upset.

Yun Bixue's tears hurt Xie Limo's heart tremendously. His heart wrenched, and his face sank the moment he saw her cry.

In the end, he couldn't help himself and wiped her tears away. "Fine, I'll keep Xie Wu by my side."

"Really?"

"Yes, but it won't happen again."
