Chapter 888: Chapter 888: We Will Be Reunited Eventually
“I’m sorry,” he said hoarsely.
Zhixi just shook her head.
She knew he was only a victim of circumstances, and he had probably paid a huge price just to see her.
The man sighed softly and held her tightly, without saying a word.
“How much longer…” Her voice was faint, with a hint of unease.
“I don’t know.” He rubbed her hair, “But we’ll be reunited sooner or later.”
Tears welled up again in Zhixi’s eyes, and she nodded against his shoulder.
If he were free, he would choose to return to the old house, rather than et her in this way.
Moreover, with that bug… she knew he was not completely free, and their ti together might just be epheral.
But even so, she was deeply satisfied.
Even with endless reluctance and worries in her heart, she knew she should appear a little more composed, a little calr, or else he would only be more reluctant and worried than she was.
She didn’t want him to worry excessively, affecting his judgnt.
“Jingyao, I’ll wait for you…” she choked out, “I just hope you’ll be well and not take risks.”
“Mm, I won’t.” He kissed her cheek, “Don’t worry about , I’m not in any danger, trust , okay?”
Zhixi nodded forcefully: “Mm, I believe you.”
He Jingyao laughed, pinched her cheek: “Stop crying, if you cry anymore your face will swell.”
She smiled and sobbed, stopping her tears.
“Should I ask Old Qin to take you back?” he said softly.
Zhixi hesitated for a long ti before finally nodding. She longed for more ti with him, even if just for a second more… but she also knew that maybe each extra minute he stayed would add another layer of danger.
He Jingyao picked her up.
“I… I can walk myself,” she said awkwardly, “I’m probably very heavy now, right?”
“Not heavy.” He felt earnestly, “Not much different from before.”
Zhixi giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying herself in his chest.
She took in his unique scent deeply, making sure to rember it well.
He Jingyao placed her in the car.
Zhixi still didn’t want to let go, so he remained leaning over.
He Jingyao didn’t ask her to release him, just gently caressed her swollen belly, and asked in a low voice, “Is the baby behaving?”
“Mm, they’re very good,” Zhixi nodded, “I eat a lot every day, so they’re growing fast.”
He Jingyao curled his lips into a smile, his eyes showing a trace of tenderness.
Zhixi finally slowly withdrew her arms but still tugged on his sleeve: “Jingyao, you must take care of yourself, don’t worry too much about us. Father and mother are both well and they take good care of , Xiaobao is very well-behaved, everything is fine.”
He Jingyao looked down at her earnest eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he laughed hoarsely: “Alright.”
This woman, even with “you must co back soon” written all over her face, tried to act understanding, afraid he would worry.
But no matter how understanding she was, he would still worry.
It was this concern that made him tread every step with extre caution.
Because he still wanted to return to her side, safely.
He Jingyao stood up straight, his hand on the car door.
Zhixi felt her throat tighten, she looked up, eting his deep black eyes, as if seeing the most tender and enduring affection in them.
