Xiaoshi did not return to the master bedroom even after a couple of hours. Han Xichen went to check on dinner and found that she had already cooked. Warming the food up, he severed some of it to a plate and was about to take it up for her when she entered the kitchen. He placed the plate on the kitchen counter with a sigh of relief. "Baby,"

Under his nervous gaze, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. He let out the sigh he had been holding as he pulled her to his c.h.e.s.t. He had been holding her every night so it was barely noticeable before but now that he held her waist, he realized that she had lost weight. ​​

He so badly wanted to slap himself. How could he make her so worried? She must have been under so much stress.

He was about to speak when she spoke first, pulling out of his arms. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to explode on you like that."

He held her hand and brought it to his mouth to kiss it. "I'm glad you did. You let it off your c.h.e.s.t."

When he left the door where he had been knocking incessantly, fear had drowned her. She had been afraid that she went too far, that he would decide to give up on them. Seeing him in the kitchen was such a relief, and she was even more relieved when he held her.

"I'm sorry, my love."

He leaned in to kiss her but she turned away, slapping him instead. He was not shocked. He took her hand, hitting it against his face. "I definitely deserve that and much more."

She frowned at him. Did he really think he could charm his way out of it?

"Honey, I've been thinking about it." He placed her food on the kitchen island and pulled out a chair for her, sitting opposite her once she sat down.

"The reason I was so busy was not because I don't care about you and our baby. It's the contrary." He looked into her eyes that looked at him in surprise, pondering his words.

"I care about you. I love you so much. How could I stop loving you?"

She found it ridiculous. "You have been detached because you love us?"

"I've not been detached. I think about you every time I'm away from home and it keeps me going." He made it sound like she was his motivation for something, which confused her. What the heck?

He placed his hand on hers that was on the kitchen island. "Honey, when we had Yue, I vowed to be the best father and not let her ever lack anything she needs. I wanted my wife to be able to live the kind of life she wants too."

She finally understood him, and her eyes widened. "Wait. So you took on more projects because…"

"Yes, I wanted to earn more money." He completed the statement, confirming her speculation.

He looked down and wanted to punch himself in the gut. "I'm sorry. I got carried away and forgot that the one thing my wife and daughter need the most is me. I love you but I didn't do enough to show it."

Tears clouded her vision. So all this fuss was because he wanted to earn more money? "Fool." The tears dropped out of her eyes before she could stop them.

He reached to wipe them off her face, and she held her hand that was against her cheek. "I'm sorry, I have been unreasonable. I even started to think… that you had met someone else."

"Who is the fool now, huh? Why would I ever fall for someone else when I have two of the most beautiful girls in the world right in my house? And I love them both so much." He wiped the remnants of her tears. "And no. You you haven't been unreasonable. I'm glad you knocked me out of it." Now that he thought about it, he realized just how his actions seemed. Anyone would think that he was losing interest in her, and the fact that they spent the night together every night made him forget that holding her was not the only way to express it.

They ate in silence, and when they were done, he finally had the courage to cautiously talk about her knock-out appearance. "You are so gorgeous, my love."

"Thanks." She blushed, thinking that she had almost ruined the whole evening with her tears. On the contrary, she felt closer to him now that she understood his reason.

"Where is Yue anyway?" He found it odd that she was still sleeping. His daughter could never sleep for that long without seeking attention by whining.

"Lanni took her away so we could have some time alone." She dared not look at him.

He felt his throat dry from her words. It seemed like his little wife had been preparing for this. He held her waist. "I owe her one. Because I want you so badly right now."

"So insatiable." She playfully jabbed him.

"Says the woman who wore lingerie and woke her husband in an 'extra-special' way." He retorted. His lips crashed against hers in the next second. His hands were under her coat before she could process it. He kissed and s.u.c.k.e.d on her skin, pressing her against the wall as his hands hungrily explored her body. His manhood pressed against her and made her crave for him just as much as he wanted her.

Their clothes were down in a mess in what felt like five seconds and they were out of breath as their hot, n.a.k.e.d bodies rubbed against each other.

"Xichen," She m.o.a.n.e.d against his shoulder as he parted her knees and positioned himself between her t.h.i.g.hs. "Take me hard and rough."

That was his cue to slam himself hard into her, earning an unrestrained m.o.a.n as her nails dug into his back.
