"Didn’t I specifically warned you not to work after 5? Why are you still in the study?" Jie’s roaring voice startled Xu y so much that she almost jumped.
"Sheesh! Ah-Jie, you scared !" Xu y placed her hand over her heart to calm it down. Jie didn’t budge from his place, he just stared her down from his position. He was leaning against her study room’s doorfra.
Since no one allowed Xu y to go back to the company, she could only make do with working from ho. But even working from ho had restrictions. She was tired of eating, taking walks and sleeping. There was nothing else to do!
"Baby, why can’t you take care of yourself?" He was reprimanding her in a soft voice.
"I’m tired of resting. I feel like I’ll start rusting up. I can’t do that." Xu y whined like a kid.
Jie rubbed his forehead and kneeled down in front of her chair. He held her foot and shook his head, "Look, your feet are all swollen up. I told you to prop up your feet. But you don’t listen."
Xu y pressed her lips together tightly, feeling guilty for forgetting that part. "It’s no big deal. It will get better." Xu y was rubbing her neck sheepishly but as Jie gave her a look, it definitely shut her up.
"Let’s get you to bed," Jie said and got up from the floor.
"Ah-Jie, you’re going to pick up?" Xu y imdiately stretched her arms. Jie had the urge to say no since she never seed to listen to him but obviously, between his anger and her glistening eyes only one could win; Xu y! There was no doubt in that.
Sighing in resignation, Jie picked her up in Princess-style and breathed out, "Baby, you’re heavy."
Xu y gasped and slapped his chest. "Are you calling fat?"
Realizing what he just said out loud, Jie tried to diate the situation. "Nope. I’m calling you heavy."
"How is that any different?" Xu y complained.
Jie placed her gently on the bed and kissed her forehead saying, "It’s different. You’re heavy ans you are taking good care of yourself while if I said you’re fat that would an you have unnecessary weight."
"Huh? What kind of logic is that?"
"It’s my logic. And it works as long as I say so." Jie pinched her nose.
Xu y scowled, not convinced at all as she said, "I’ll let this go. But if you ever called fat, I’ll strangle you."
"Baby, you have already given the bite and slap. There is no need to strangle at all."
"Bite and slap? When did I do such a thing?"
Jie ca slowly close to her face and in his deep husky voice, he said, "Well, you ca like a love bite and then your love beca the cupid that slapped the glitter out of ."
Xu y burst out laughing at his words. "Ah-Jie, where do you co up with these lines?"
Instead of answering with words, he pressed his lips to hers in a slow, tender and full of love kind of kiss. It might be a slow kiss but it definitely left a storm of butterflies in Xu y’s stomach.
Jie pulled away to say, "To keep this beautiful smile on my beautiful wife’s face, I have to work extra hard... You know it takes a lot of effort to co up with such lines."
Xu y rolled her eyes at him while trying to stifle her smile. "Why is my smile so important?"
"Because..." he tucked her hair behind her ear and whispered, "It’s my drug."
Xu y’s heart was beating, no actually, it was drumming violently in her chest. His presence, his words, his scent... All this was enough to work like a charm on her.
"You know drugs are bad for health." Xu y stated in an all-knowing way.
"Are they?" Jie asked in surprise.
"Mmhmm..." Xu y nodded along.
Pulling her body against his own with a jerk, Jie whispered again, "But my drug has beco my only way to breathe. I think there is no cure. Because I love this drug."
"Ow!" Xu y suddenly winced making Jie panic.
"What happened? Should we go to the hospital?" Xu y held his hand and placed it against her stomach.
"Say you love ." She said.
Jie frowned for a second before saying, "I love you, baby. Don’t I say it-" his ’enough’ was left at the tip of his tongue as he felt it. That sensation was mild but he still felt it. His eyes widened as he stared Xu y in disbelief while she was grinning.
"He kicked, right?" Xu y asked eagerly and he nodded in a daze making her grin wide.
"Oh, wait! I told you it’s she, not a he."
"Ah-Jie, let’s not start again. He just kicked. It sure is a he."
"How can you be prejudice like this? My princess can also kick! Perhaps she wants to beco a football player."
Xu y rolled her eyes at him and huffed. "Yes, HE will be a football player."
"SHE!" Jie exclaid again with a glare.
"Urgh! Now, I’m regretting keeping the gender a secret. At least, this fight won’t happen."
After an extended silence, Jie pulled her back to his chest and hugged her from behind saying, "Baby, even if it’s a she or a he, the child is ours. And it won’t change. So, no point in this argunt, right?" Xu y pondered his words for a mont and nodded her head in agreent. He kissed the side of her head and continued, "Let’s shower our child with all the love that you and I missed out on. Okay?"
Xu y felt tears stinging in her eyes so she nodded, not trusting her voice at all.
