Remember to think about me and the baby
Not long after he returned to Seahold, Xiao Yan rushed over once again due to official matters of New York City.
The night before he left, while Qiao Mo was packing Xiao Yan's luggage, she muttered to herself: "Since you've been in New York for such a long time, can't I accompany you? I'll wait at home in New York while you work, and I won't get in your way. "
She folded Xiao Yan's shirt, hung her face down, and pouted her lips, a little wronged and complaining.
Xiao Yan laughed, and sat beside her, his big hands caressing her hair: "I went to New York on a business trip, and was outside most of the time.
Qiao Mo raised his head and retorted, "I won't affect your work."
"But if you go, it will affect my heart, so I won't have any mind to work."
Qiao Mo pouted, and finally sighed, not saying another word.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips: "Don't worry, I won't disappear just like last time. I'll call you every night, hmm?"
Xiao Yan carried her, and even after he absent-mindedly said "Okay", he was still asking if he should bring this, and that.
The man behind her had already moved his lips and tongue behind her neck.
Warm air gushed onto her skin.
She buried her unsteady breath into her fragrant neck.
"Little Mo …" Xiao Yan's large hands embraced her from behind and landed on her lower abdomen.
"Hmm?" Qiao Mo turned his body slightly, and realised that the man who was carrying her was acting weirdly.
In the end, Xiao Yan gave a shallow smile and said, "It's nothing, there's no need to pack up. New York still has clothes to change."
It was only then that Qiao Mo remembered, and let out an "Oh". Before she could even react, the man behind her had already lifted her up.
"Take a rest with me, huh?"
Qiao Mo's face grew slightly hot, and after she carried her onto the bed, she was held tightly in his embrace.
Qiao Mo held his arm and said, "You have to remember to think about me and your baby."
Xiao Yan kissed her, how could he not think. If they were really separated by ten or twenty days, he would probably go crazy from thinking about it …
Qiao Mo asked again, "In the end, how many days are you going to be there?"
"More than ten days, but the exact date of return is still unknown."
Qiao Mo frowned, "It took so long …."
She stayed silent for a while, raised her eyes, and said: "Ah Yan, let me go with you. There's something wrong with me. I keep feeling that this time you're going to be away from me and the baby for a long time. "
Xiao Yan's heart tightened all of a sudden, but he comforted her with a faint smile on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about? "No."
"Really?"
She looked at him hesitantly and asked again.
Xiao Yan held her tightly and sighed: "Don't worry, I won't lose contact with you this time, and I won't disappear either, hmm?"
In the end, Qiao Mo nodded his head in compromise, "Then you have to take good care of your body, remember to call me."
"Alright."
Qiao Mo thought for a while, hugged his waist, and said with her face raised in his embrace: "It looks like you won't be able to make it back in time for the next maternity exam."
A tinge of gloom flashed past Xiao Yan's eyes. He let out a long sigh, as if he was feeling regretful.
Qiao Mo nodded, "But next time, you have to accompany me at the maternity exam."
Xiao Yan paused, kept silent for a long while, before he spat out one word, "... "Alright."
… ….
Qiao Mo did not send him off nor did she request for him to do so. After Qiao Mo became pregnant, she became much more sensitive and if she were to send him off, she would probably cry for more than ten days as a pretense. He did not know how long he would need to stay there for before he could return.
That was why he couldn't wait to get everything done.
The only ones who were the most worried were still Qiao Mo and the child.
… ….
The day after Xiao Yan left, Luo Luo suddenly came to pay a visit.
Qiao Mo was startled. This time, Luo Luo did not call her before she came, nor did she give her any warning.
"Luo Luo, why are you here?"
Qiao Mo called out to Luo Luo as she entered the door.
Luo Luo smiled mysteriously, "Your Mr. Xiao just had a bad time. He was afraid that something might happen to you at home by yourself, buthe was also afraid that you would be bored, so she asked me to accompany you for a few days."
Qiao Mo's heart froze, but in her heart, it was especially sweet.
Xiao Yan was such a busy person, yet he would actually personally call Luo Luo to help her settle this trivial matter.
He even thought about asking Luo Luo to come here and accompany her, a small matter like this.
… ….
A few days after Xiao Yan left, Qiao Mo started tossing and turning in the night, and started to lose sleep.
It was unknown when it started to drizzle down outside, causing people to fall asleep. Qiao Mo turned her body, and touched her phone, at this point, it should be day in America, so she hesitated for a long time before dialing a number.
The phone rang for a long time before its owner answered. In this short span of ten seconds, she almost wanted to cut off the phone because she was afraid that he was working or resting.
However, he didn't want to break it, so he waited with a cold feeling on his fingertip.
It was with much difficulty that that familiar voice finally sounded. It was a voice of weakness and powerlessness, as though someone had just woken up from a dream.
"Little Mo?"
She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly dropped from her throat to the bottom of her heart. But what followed closely followed was an endless amount of pain, making it hard to breathe.
"Did you sleep?"
She didn't call him, she only asked very softly.
"Nope." He couldn't resist clearing his throat. Then he said, "I just woke up and your call came in."
"Oh, then you …" Qiao Mo's fingers tightened their grip on her phone, and with a soft voice, she asked, "When are you coming back?"
He had only been gone a few days, not even a week.
She couldn't help but ask this question. She felt that she deserved a beating. In the darkness, she secretly hit herself on the head.
Xiao Yan looked out of the window and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I'm not sure, the things here are a bit troublesome. Meeting a few old friends, the things here will not be resolved anytime soon.
Just as Qiao Mo was about to ask him where he was meditating, she heard a faint sound of someone opening the door, and then, she could no longer hear it clearly. Qiao Mo frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan covered his mouth with his hands to listen to the microphone, and the man in white who had just opened the door said in fluent English, "Aaron, it's time to start taking the medicine."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, indicating for him to go out first. Then, he let go of the receiver and continued to speak to Qiao Mo: "Nothing much, it's just that this friend's dog is not obedient."
Qiao Mo licked her dry lips, and asked with a gentle tone: "Where have you been these past few days to relax? Are you tired? "
Xiao Yan looked at the spacious white ward, and said with a wry smile: "I went to the Ice River Bay, Alaska, in the Grand Canyon of Colorado."
"Is it fun?" Then you have to take me next time. And... Hmm... Don't forget to take care of your body. "Don't be too tired."
"Since when did Little Mo become so long-winded?"
Hearing his mute voice, her originally gloomy mood was swept away. With a joke, she pursed her lips into a smile and said, "As I get older, I will become more and more long-winded. "Don't you dare turn your back on me."
Xiao Yan laughed lightly, "Can you still go back on your words now?"
Qiao Mo immediately retorted: "Rejected!"
The two of them stopped talking. Listening to each other's breathing on the phone, they both felt at ease and more comfortable.
When Qiao Mo heard his voice, she felt that she had slightly disturbed Xiao Yan's rest. Although she still wanted to talk to him for a while longer, she said, "Alright, I'm going to bed too. It's raining here."
The drizzle at the end of September was very cold.
Xiao Yan said worriedly: "Cover yourself up well tonight, and take good care of yourself, do you understand?"
Qiao Mo replied with a "En" and spoke into the phone, "Then … Good night. "I'm hanging up."
"Little Mo?"
The person at the other end called out to her once again.
"Hmm?"
"Call me."
Qiao Mo smiled sweetly. She called the person on the other end of the phone "hubby" intimately and gave him a kiss.
She said, "If you miss me too much, you should come back earlier."
"Go to sleep, hang up first."
"Then I'm hanging up. You should also rest for a bit. "
"Alright."
It was drizzling in Seahold, but at this moment, his heart felt as if it had been washed away by a torrential downpour, and all his thoughts were filled with longing for her.
Many times, in his mind, he imagined the scene of his reunion with her.
… ….
Xiao Yan leaned on the sickbed, and waited until his phone rang. Then, he slowly put down his phone.
He leaned against the bed and closed his eyes.
The door opened again. A middle-aged male doctor with glasses said, "Aaron, remember to take your medicine."
Soon, a nurse came in, took water and pills, handed them to him, and watched him take them.
… ….
Sea City, New Garden Villa.
Qiao Mo had met Lu Hailan recently, and since Lu Hailan knew that she had already gone to New York for a business trip, she often came to New Garden to accompany him.
It might have been an illusion on Qiao Mo's part, but every time she saw Lu Hailan, he felt that she had become even thinner than before.
Qiao Mo's stomach was growing larger and larger. In addition to the fact that Xiao Yan was not by her side, her entire mind was focused on his child.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell recently? "Why did you lose so much weight?"
Lu Hailan caressed her face, a dim look flashing past her eyes, "Oh, I'm fine. It's probably because I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of my body. "Don't worry."
Qiao Mo frowned slightly as she reprimanded, "Work is important, but health is more important. Without a body, everything was unnecessary. Mom, don't work in Rong Chengmo's hands anymore. He's an evil capitalist, and will only squeeze out your workforce. "
Lu Hailan laughed, looked at her, and asked her: "Then Xiao Yan is not an evil capitalist? Xiao Yan is even more evil than President Rong! "
Qiao Mo knew that the knot in her heart had yet to be cleared, and there were still many prejudices towards Xiao Yan.
"Alright, Mom, I don't want to argue with you over Xiao Yan anymore."
Lu Hailan cooked some porridge, Qiao Mo ate a little, and the pregnant women fell asleep. In the afternoon, Lu Hailan saw that Qiao Mo had been sleeping upstairs, so she made a few dishes in the kitchen before she left.
… ….
When Qiao Mo woke up, it was three in the afternoon.
Lu Hailan had already left, the house was empty.
He grabbed his phone, but there were no missed calls or text messages as he had imagined.
Xiao Yan had not contacted her.
Perhaps it was because she was too impatient to separate from him for even a second. She felt that this time was too difficult to bear.
