She couldn't help but smile. "It's only been five months. I can't get tired."
She stood up and went back to the kitchen, while Ashes stared blankly at her frail back. Wei An turned his head to look at her, only to accidentally see the sadness behind the smile on his face. He couldn't help but be startled.
He didn't know if he was doing it right or wrong. To be honest, when Shen Canghao forced him to ask who he was that day, he really was moved.
But now, things had gotten out of control. The only thing that outsiders like themselves could do was just watch and let nature take its course.
After dinner, the four of them went out for a walk. When they returned home, they pulled each other's hands towards the big bedroom as they murmured, "Finally, I can sleep in the same bed as Mum and Dad."
After giving her a bath and placing her on the bed, Ying Yan and Yaxi separated their bodies. When the two of them came out, the little girl had already fallen asleep. They looked at each other, blushing, "Go to sleep?"
The corner of Yaxi's mouth curled up, looking as if he was smiling. However, there was an indescribable loneliness in his expression. He nodded and shook her hand, "Okay, go to sleep."
Between the two of them was a plump and round little fellow. She was sleeping soundly, and her nose was slightly wrinkled, causing others to be unable to resist loving her when they saw her.
The summer wind blew through the window, making it very cold and making it hard for Asai to sleep. He felt the pain in his chest, and he gritted his teeth, not letting himself make any noise. He touched the bed and took out the painkillers from the drawer.
Huaiyan had never known that he was taking a painkiller, and if she had, it would have been hard to tell how worried she would be.
When the pill worked, he stood at the window for a while and felt his head begin to grow dizzy. He quietly went to bed and covered her with a thin, cool blanket before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
After breakfast in the morning, she sent Warmth to the kindergarten. When she thought of the lack of a few rugs at home, she pulled Assi over to the department store.
"Yan Yan Yan, let the servant handle these matters. I'm afraid you'll be tired." Asai's face turned slightly pale as he spoke in a considerate tone.
"The doctor told me to relax, to walk around a lot, to avoid the stress and irritation of the baby, what are you afraid of, or are you not feeling well?"
Seeing that she was worried, he immediately shook his head gently. "Okay, then let's take a taxi?"
"I remember there's a big department store right here, so let's walk over. It's not too hot right now."
"Alright."
She had a big stomach, and after walking for a short while, she began to struggle. Fortunately, the department store was not far away, so they first drank a few cold drinks and rested for a while before going to buy a carpet.
After strolling for a long time, he chose two small, beautiful, and delicate carpets, one for the dressing table and the other for the warm nursery. He paid and packed them, and Assi took the paper bag by her arm and went out, calling ahead of time. The driver would pick them up in a moment, and they would take the elevator down to the first floor to have some cold drinks in the resting area.
When she reached the third floor, the baby moved a little. She smiled and said, "Ah Xi, the baby kicked me."
Asai reached out to stroke her hair, then bent down to touch her bulging belly. "Smelly brat, you're not allowed to bully your mother, do you know that?"
"Don't scold him, he's so naughty, he must be healthy."
Joy filled her heart. Her fingers caressed her lower abdomen. The wonder of being connected by blood caused a trace of pain to rise up in her heart.
"Look at how much mother loves you!" Be a bit more obedient, okay? "
They got on the elevator and continued their way downstairs. His hand passed through her arm and supported her waist. He wanted to give her some support so that she wouldn't be too tired.
"Young Master Shen, our department store is the biggest in the city, and we have the biggest customer traffic in the city every day."
In the center of the crowd, there was a man who was so handsome that it seemed like he could shine. He only nodded slightly as if he wasn't really interested.
The subordinates beside him were at a loss as to what to do. They could only speak up in embarrassment, "Chief Shen, shouldn't we go and rest for a bit?"
"Sure." Shen Canghao opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice. He also felt that his life was getting a bit restless.
He slightly tugged on his tie, feeling an indescribable annoyance. It was obviously cold, but deep down in his heart, a scorching hot spark rose, making him unable to endure it.
"I'll go and smoke a cigarette."
"Director Shen, please do as you please."
The head of the department store wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long breath. This young CEO was really as the rumours said; he was unsmiling and did not leak a single bit of information.
In front of him was a transparent glass wall, and when he looked outside, he could see a bustling flow of people. He should leave here completely the day after tomorrow, leave this city that he had lived with for a year.
Quickly finishing a cigarette, he stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can. Turning around, he saw the earnest gazes and smiling faces of the group of people, and he felt a little annoyed. He turned his face away and casually swept his gaze over the crowd, frozen in place like an ice sculpture …
"Slow down, it's a bit slippery here."
Assi supported her, carefully guiding her around the small puddle of water as he spoke softly.
Feeling embarrassed, she tried to push him away but was held by him even tighter. She held his hand, and the two of them started to rest. Looking at his nervous face, she couldn't help but scold him, "How can he be so pampered? Everyone is looking at us …"
Huaiyan's steps suddenly staggered to a stop. The words at her mouth were suspended in midair all of a sudden …
