"What’s wrong? Isn’t it good for your husband to interact more with people? The Ling Family business is so large, perhaps there might be future collaborations. It’s better to build good relationships."

He said this with a straight face.

"That’s not what I meant, nor did I say you can’t interact with people! Have you noticed how Brother Ling often looks at me strangely?"

Beichen Rui frowned, "Strangely?"

"Yeah, I remember once I was in the flower room cutting some branches, and when I turned around inadvertently, I saw him staring at me, lost in thought!"

Ye Xinluo tried hard to recall and continued, "Also, when we first met, everything was fine. But at some point, his gaze changed. It’s as if there’s deep guilt, and even a bit of heartache. Yes, heartache!"

Clearly, they didn’t have much interaction before, so why the guilt and heartache?

Ye Xinluo could never figure it out.

Beichen Rui smiled, "Could you be overthinking it?"

"Could I?" Ye Xinluo retorted.

"Why not? I remember it all changed after your injury. Every time he saw you, it felt different!"

Beichen Rui hadn’t expected Ye Xinluo to notice these things from the start, she just kept it in her heart without saying anything.

"Also, recently I’ve been having these random headaches. Last time the doctor said it was just pregnancy tension, but I can clearly say, I’m not feeling tense!"

She sat up, looking at him tensely, "Beichen Rui, are you hiding something from me?"

She had more than once suspected something was wrong with her body. Sometimes, seeing certain things, vague images would flash in her mind.

Afterward, she couldn’t recall anything.

Then the headaches would follow...

But in her memory, she hadn’t suffered any head injuries, so why the headaches? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Why would I hide anything from you."

Beichen Rui spoke calmly. Truth be told, when he saw Ye Xinluo suffering from headaches, he desperately wanted to take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

However, considering her and the baby, he had no choice but to endure it!

"Don’t think too much, just wait for the baby to be born."

Ye Xinluo stared at him for a long while, was she really overthinking?

As she was torn, sleepiness took over, leading her to yawn. Beichen Rui took the opportunity to change the subject, embracing her back onto the bed, coaxing her to sleep...

Ye Xinluo was silent for a while, several times her words almost escaped her lips, only for Beichen Rui to seal them with kisses.

Frustrated, she kicked him, taking advantage of the space when he moved away, "Can you let me finish my words..."

"Speak" hadn’t even been fully uttered when her lips were sealed again, fingers tightly gripping his clothes, forced to withstand the kiss.

After the kiss, Ye Xinluo felt dazed, her mind felt cluttered, and whatever she wanted to say slipped her mind.

"You rogue?!?"

Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow, "I could be more rogue, want to try?"

"Go away, go away, I want to sleep!"

Rudely, she pushed him aside, pulled the thin blanket over herself, and went to sleep.

Perhaps due to pregnancy, she fell asleep quickly.

Only when her breaths softened, did Beichen Rui stand up, tuck her in gently, and quietly leave the room.

He happened to run into Ling Haoyu coming out of the room.

They exchanged a glance, and Beichen Rui first turned into the study, followed shortly by Ling Haoyu.
