“You should ask my dear brother about this question. He said the entertainment industry has many temptations, and I need someone to protect me…” Pausing for a moment, Shang Xiaowan circled back to the original topic. “Brother Xia, women are meant to be cherished, just like how you cherish me. If you truly like her, you should say it directly, don’t keep it in your heart.”
“…” Pressing his lips tightly without a word, he realized that unless he sewed her mouth shut, she wouldn’t stay quiet. “Women like to hear men express their love out loud,” Shang Xiaowan continued.
Letting out a light hum, Xia Erxi turned and walked away. Did he love Xinluo? The word “love” was too unfamiliar to him, but he understood that he absolutely didn’t want her to leave his side.
But just as he said that day, her expression when breaking up was too sad, as if he had truly hurt her deeply, leaving him unable to say anything to win her back. He had never thought… of hurting her! “However…” Xiao Wan suddenly murmured to herself, saying something that shocked him.
“Why would she go to the baby supplies section for no reason?” Generally, girls would shop more in the boutique section, right? Quickly glancing at Shang Xiaowan, Xia Erxi couldn’t help but look back at Xinluo again.
Right! Shang Xiaowan didn’t mention it, and he hadn’t noticed – why would she run to the baby supplies section for no reason?
“Is this okay for me? Isn’t the dress too tight?” After getting out of the car, Xinluo turned nervously, her small hand tugging at the somewhat tight formal dress.
Unexpectedly, after three months of pregnancy, her belly had rapidly expanded, and now it was almost impossible to hide her pregnancy – even Xinmei joked that she was carrying a big baby.
“Not at all,” Gao Yizhe thoughtfully helped her close the car door, “haven’t you heard that pregnant women are the most beautiful?”
“I haven’t heard that. I just feel like a fat raccoon,” Xinluo shook her head.
“That’s not true, you’re overthinking it,” Gao Yizhe extended his arm for her to link, “I’ve inquired about today’s banquet, and Xia Erxi won’t attend because of another dinner appointment, so you can be completely at ease.”
