125 Considerate

Yun Bixue suddenly covered her face with the blankets. Sob… She didn't want to see anyone right now. Mother-in-law, Ji Qiongxin… she must have learned about everything. How can I leave the bedroom later? Sob…

Yun Bixue hadn't realized that aside from her usual calm demeanor, she only revealed her dainty side when in front of Xie Limo. She always felt shy and embarrassed in front of him.

Xie Limo watched Yun Bixue move from her originally comfortable state to cover herself with the blankets. He leaned forward and attempted to gently remove the blankets she was clinging onto. "What happened?"

"Sob… How can I still face her? Aunty knows everything." Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.

Hearing the muffled whimpers coming from beneath the blankets, Xie Limo burst into laughter. His mother had arranged this whole episode, but from Yun Bixue's expression, it didn't seem like she'd realized it yet.

Xie Limo coaxed her tenderly, "It's okay. Nobody knows, and nobody can tease you. So be good and get up first. It's not comfortable covering yourself under all those blankets."

The more gentle Xie Limo was, the more stubborn Yun Bixue became. "No, I'm not going out."

"When Mother comes back later, I'll let her know that you're still sleeping."

Yun Bixue abruptly flung away the blankets. "Please don't!" If he did that, it would make her look bad! She'd be seen as someone lazy, who kept snoozing even after eight o'clock.

Xie Limo lightly touched her reddened cheeks. They were like ripe apples and were such a pretty and vibrant shade of red. They had bloomed just for him. Xie Limo lowered his head and kissed her cheeks, saying softly, "Okay, I won't tell. Last night was tiring. Take a bath first and I'll have breakfast ready soon."

Yun Bixue only just noticed Xie Limo's outfit—he was wearing clean and comfortable home clothes that gave off a refreshing aura. "You already took a bath?"

"Yes. I was afraid of waking you up so I took a bath in the bathroom downstairs." After his bath, he came back to accompany her. He knew that his wife had been hurt before and suffered from a lack of security. Thus, he'd sat by the bed, hoping to be the first thing she sees after waking up, which would prevent her imagination from running wild.

Yun Bixue would never learn of his considerations for her. As she looked at the care and love in his eyes, her heart started to feel warm again. She had always felt grateful to be able to meet Xie Limo. She never dreamed that she could ever enjoy such a sweet and warm day, but now she had. For that reason, she would firmly hold onto everything.

"I want to make breakfast for Aunty. I'm already treating her as my mother deep down."

Xie Limo lowered his head and kissed Yun Bixue's lips. Noticing the marks on her collarbone, his gaze became intoxicated. "Yes, I know. There will be many more chances in the future. I'll carry you to the bathroom first." After he spoke, he reached out to hoist Yun Bixue out from the blankets.

"I can do it myself." She wasn't wearing anything, and if he tried to carry her in that state, last night's event would only repeat itself again.

Xie Limo laughed softly. "Enough, I've already seen everything last night. And are you sure you can walk by yourself now?"

Ultimately, Yun Bixue could only give in to Xie Limo's gentle embrace as he carried her into the bathroom. She then flatly refused Xie Limo from helping her shower. She was not that weak, and was definitely not fragile.

After Yun Bixue took a hot bath, the muscles in her body relaxed and she started to feel comfortable. The soreness she felt had also been reduced by half. After putting on her clothes, she went downstairs. Xie Limo had already prepared their breakfast and had warmed up a glass of milk for her.

Looking at the scrumptious meal on the table, Yun Bixue was puzzled. "Are these edible?"

At that moment, Ji Qiongxin exited the kitchen and chirped, "These are all nutritious! Some of them were prepared personally by Limo. You should eat more, you're too skinny! This child was never good at expressing his thoughts, so instead of saying that he feels bad for his wife, he indirectly said that he'd prepare more food for her. As his mother, I really can't comprehend his thoughts. Come, Bixue. Sit down and eat."
