Jiang Huai looked at Yan Xia’s swollen wrist. Even though she had applied the ice during the day, it was red and swollen because it wasn’t treated in time. There was already a blood clot and it had even turned purple.

Yan Xia’s back hit the stairs. Her whole body was numb from the pain, and she could not move.

She closed her eyes to stop her tears from flowing. Her thick, black hair was scattered, and her tears were stuck to her cheeks. Her delicate face was even more pitiful at this time.

Yan Xia had already expected a storm to come and was prepared to endure Jiang Huai’s anger.

To her surprise, Jiang Huai bent down and picked up the weak and helpless Yan Xia.

Even Jiang Huai did not expect his anger from Yan Xia’s rejection to be suppressed by her tears. He felt a sudden heartache.

Almost subconsciously, he gently picked her up.

Ever since the miscarriage, he had never been as careful as he was today. He carried Yan Xia as if she was a delicate and fragile piece of porcelain.

She was much lighter than he had imagined. He couldn’t even feel her weight as she was so tiny in Jiang Huai’s arms.

“You should eat more in the future.” Jiang Huai said subconsciously.

Yan Xia was stunned and looked at him blankly. Her round eyes had just been washed by tears, and they were clear and bright. Her face was full of shock and disbelief.

There was no anger or argument as she had expected. Yan Xia never expected Jiang Huai to say such a gentle and considerate thing to her despite her resistance.

Yan Xia wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Even Jiang Huai himself couldn’t react.

He had almost forgotten how Yan Xia felt.

He had also almost forgotten that when he and Yan Xia first got married, they had a happy time together.

At that time, Yan Xia was pregnant with their child. Even if it was not the fruit of love, it was at least the child that they both hoped for.

At that time, all kinds of tonics were crazily sent into her house by Mrs. Jiang, and all kinds of Chinese medicine tests were carried out constantly. Yan Xia did not have a good appetite. She always felt like throwing up after eating something. She did not look very energetic.

She would often frown at the table filled with the strong smell of medicine. Then, she would look at Jiang Huai coyly. “Can we not eat these today?”

Jiang Huai looked at her dark eyes and really couldn’t do anything about her. He secretly reduced her burden behind her mother’s back and tried to get the housekeeper to make something different for her to eat.

Yan Xia’s originally thin body had become slightly rounder after that period of intense nourishment.

Sometimes, when she got up in the morning to put on her clothes, she would complain unhappily, “I’ve gained weight again recently. Look at my waist, there was still a fist-sized gap before, but now it’s completely stuck to my stomach.”

Jiang Huai smiled and comforted her. He was gentle and patient. “You have a baby in your stomach, so you have to count him in when you calculate your waist. I still think you’re too skinny, so you should eat more in the future.”

While the two of them were still in a daze, Jiang Huai had already carried Yan Xia into the bedroom.

He gently placed Yan Xia on the soft bed, afraid that he would hurt her back again if he used too much force.

Then, Jiang Huai wanted to check Yan Xia’s wrist.

In fact, he had already seen Yan Xia’s hand injury in the office at noon. However, he was still angry at the time and naturally ignored the detail.

However, Yan Xia slapped Jiang Huai’s hand away just as he was about to touch her.

“I said, don’t touch me!” Yan Xia yelled.

Jiang Huai’s sudden gentleness was hard for her to get used to. She was touched for a moment, but she quickly remembered what Zhang Ying had said. my nickname is Xia Xia.

What a joke!

The moment Yan Xia thought of all the gentleness she had enjoyed and Jiang Huai’s good temper all because of the name ‘Xia Xia’, she felt like she had been a joke all these years.

Jiang Huai had never gotten off work with her before. He would always wait for Yan Xia to get home before coming back, but Yan Xia had never asked him where he was.

In Jiang Huai’s words, the secretary had no right to interfere with the boss’s personal matters.
