"Wife," Xie Jingchen stepped quickly to block her way, speaking earnestly:
"I might not be like other husbands who can keep you company all the time, but when I’m here, I want to do everything within my power to make you feel secure and happy. You’re not alone, you have me. No matter how long I have to leave in the future, I only know this: you are my wife, and when I return to your side, I will fulfil my duties as a husband, caring for you with all my heart, and protecting you in every possible way."
What Xie Jingchen left unsaid was that even when he couldn’t constantly be by her side, he’d still find every possible way to protect her fully.
Zhang Shanni stared blankly at his stern and sincere face, only managing to mutter a low "oh".
Zhang Shanni, groggy, was supported by Xie Jingchen at the dining table; she wasn’t even clear on how she had managed to gulp down the wontons into her belly.
Later, feeling bloated and uncomfortable, she had no choice but make Xie Jingchen do the dishes while she roamed aimlessly around the living room by herself.
"So, so stupid!" Zhang Shanni held her belly, walking and criticizing herself internally for being such a silly glutton!
How could she have eaten the whole big bowl of wontons just because they were tasty!
If it weren’t for Xie Jingchen suddenly speaking up and startling her, she might have finished the entire bowl, broth and all! freёwebnovel.com
Her belly was already big enough, and now she had gorged herself; it was no wonder she felt so bloated.
Xie Jingchen was equally worried. He hurriedly placed the dishes in the sink and quickly stepped out.
Seeing his little wife’s face red with discomfort, how could he not feel anxious?
"Wife, feeling any better?" Xie Jingchen saw his wife constantly rubbing her belly, embracing her with one arm to pull her against his chest, and with the other hand he gently mimicked her actions, soothing her tummy.
"Sniff, it still feels so full!" Zhang Shanni had already chewed two digestive pills, but they were medicine, not immortal medicine; they couldn’t possibly work in just a few minutes. They required slow, gradual movements. This combined approach would hopefully yield a better result.
"You silly girl, what were you thinking while eating?" Xie Jingchen was exasperated. His wife was indeed cutely foolish, but seeing her holding her stomach and pacing back and forth, he felt heartbroken for her.
After all, she is his own wife to cherish, and with her belly just over four months along, already the size of five or six months, it was quite big. Now that she had overeaten, it seemed to Xie Jingchen that her belly had grown an additional fifth in size... He watched, feeling exhausted for her!
It’s all your fault! Speaking so sentimentally out of the blue, causing her to be moved and overeat on the sweet impulse – no one else is as adorably foolish as that.
Zhang Shanni was too embarrassed to voice her own thoughts, merely giving Xie Jingchen an innocent, accusing glance.
"You!" Xie Jingchen ruffled her hair with his large hand, wearing a look of wordless resignation caused by her.
Outside, the ground was even colder after a night of snow, and it was slippery now, with little snowflakes still drifting down. Seeing his little wife like this, Xie Jingchen couldn’t dare to let her step outside.
The two of them had no choice but to make do with slowly walking around the small living room.
With Xie Jingchen’s support, Zhang Shanni moved much faster, and after turning around for nearly half an hour, she cast a sidelong glance at the man and saw that he was already sleepy but still stubbornly supporting her as they moved. She felt a mischievous sense of triumph in her heart.
