It seed he didn’t hear what he wanted to, as Su Qing’s lips noticeably turned downward.
If Lin Xiaoyue had been a bit more attentive, she would have noticed the man’s face turning a little dark.
"One day, I’ll make you praise ," she continued talking to herself.
Upon hearing her, Su Qing’s expression eased slightly, "Don’t you think sotis you’re a bit overly competitive?"
Lin Xiaoyue retorted, "In aristocratic families like yours, if you don’t fight, should you wait to be trampled to death?"
Su Qing: "...What I an is, not all your energy should be spent on others. You can think about other things too."
Lin Xiaoyue propped her chin and thought carefully for a mont, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaid excitedly, "I saw her holding a baby, it must be her own. When I have my baby, I must teach it well, so it doesn’t lose to hers."
After speaking, she looked at Su Qing as if seeking credit, "Now that I’m focusing all my energy on the child, Mr. Qi should be satisfied, right?"
"..." Su Qing looked out the window emotionlessly, "As long as you’re happy."
"Talking to you is so boring!" Lin Xiaoyue huffed and turned her face away, imitating him, not understanding why the man would get a black face for no reason.
The couple remained silent all the way.
When the carriage stopped, Lin Xiaoyue directly opened the curtain to jump down, but a large hand suddenly encircled her waist tightly.
Before Lin Xiaoyue could say anything, she heard the man’s deep voice in her ear, "If you dare to make my seed jump away, watch your skin!"
Lin Xiaoyue touched her nose, "I just didn’t rember."
Except for the first few days when she was terribly nauseous, she hadn’t had much reaction since then, and Lin Xiaoyue often forgot she was pregnant.
Su Qing’s large hand on her waist tightened involuntarily, "From now on, if I’m not around, you’re not allowed to go out alone."
"You’re unbelievable!" Lin Xiaoyue directly retorted, "Staying at the house all day, I’m almost getting moldy."
In such a big mansion, with only her as the mistress and a few maids and old won, opening her eyes every day just to see them, she was tired of seeing them. She asked him to take concubines and bring in more won to relieve her boredom, but he always made excuses, and now he was restricting her freedom.
Lin Xiaoyue felt stifled.
If she’d known, she wouldn’t have bothered and would have gone straight to see Wen Wan earlier. Since they were all married, once the conversation was open, wouldn’t it be more convenient to visit each other in the future? Why bother being secretive?
When the coachman placed the footstool, Su Qing finally spoke again, "Go down now!"
Lin Xiaoyue carefully stepped down and stopped at the main door again.
Su Qing’s deep gaze focused on her, "Out once and you can’t even recognize your own ho?"
"No, I just suddenly want to go back to my parents’ house," Lin Xiaoyue said gloomily, "I haven’t seen my parents in a long ti, I miss them."
Su Qing asked her, "Truly want to go back?"
"Is that even a question?"
Su Qing was silent for a mont, "I’ll have soone prepare a gift, you’ll leave first thing in the morning."
Lin Xiaoyue imdiately said considerately, "Mr. Qi is so busy, you don’t need to bother. I’ll take more servants with , nothing will happen on a trip back to my parents’ ho."
Su Qing grinned, his eyes slightly teasing, "It’s just as well that the Su Family has been affected by the coal mine case lately, and I don’t need to go to the governnt office, I have plenty of ti to accompany you."
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on her belly, "It’s been almost three months, but it seems Yue Niang still isn’t ready to be a mother!"
These words sounded sowhat like a warning.
Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but shiver, hurriedly defending, "I didn’t an it, I just feel like there’s no one to talk to, that’s all."
"Even with around, that won’t do?"
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t et the man’s deep gaze, her eyes fixed on her toes.
She couldn’t explain that feeling to him.
The Su Family wasn’t originally from the sa social circle as her own family, and after marrying into the Su Family, she didn’t have a single friend here. Certain topics were only suitable to discuss with close girlfriends, you couldn’t say these things to n, nor could you casually tell the servants. The accumulated stifling feeling, coupled with the emotional fluctuations during pregnancy, made her feel restless every day, wanting to find a place and soone to talk to properly.
Su Qing certainly couldn’t understand Lin Xiaoyue’s thoughts. He had always been the most ostracized in the Su Family growing up, and whatever good things there were, he never got them. Even what originally belonged to him would eventually end up in soone else’s hands.
There are people who, from a young age deprived of yearnings, grow up to desperately try to compensate.
Su Qing was such a person. Lin Xiaoyue to him was like that porcelain doll he had dearly wanted but could never have as a child. He wouldn’t allow her to disappear from his sight, wouldn’t allow her to leave suddenly.
Previously, this absolute possessiveness wasn’t too prominent, but now that she was pregnant, thinking about how he would soon be a father, having a biological child that no one could take from him, it completely triggered his years-accumulated desire for possession.
