Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 401: She Couldn’t Bear to See Her Baby Work Too Hard
After everything was tidied up, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin returned to their room.
Su Yijia peeked out halfway and glanced at the men sitting in the living room.
Confirming they were deeply engaged in conversation and wouldn’t notice her, Su Yijia quickly shut the door and dove into a pile of luggage.
Nothing!
Not here?
Where on earth had Qin Kaize hidden those condoms?
Anxious, she shook out the clothes, and two small packets fell out.
"Tsk, why would he hide them in such a place?" Su Yijia grumbled.
But despite her complaints, her hands never stopped moving.
She pulled out a sewing needle from a small box and poked a few holes in them.
Su Yijia then put the items back in the clothing pocket. But after thinking it over, she felt she hadn’t poked enough holes.
If her baby wanted to swim into her belly, it might be too much hard work.
As a mother, how could she bear to see her child struggle?
So Su Yijia took them out again and poked a few more holes.
Satisfied that the damage wasn’t visible, she felt more at ease.
But knowing Qin Kaize’s insatiable appetite, even if those things were reusable, they still wouldn’t be enough for him.
In a hurry, she searched through all the pockets and hiding spots.
He had hidden 30 of them, even though they were only staying here for about 20 days.
Ha! This dog of a man was practically planning to wear her out!
Su Yijia sneered coldly, cursing inwardly.
The more he did this, the more determined she was to conceive quickly, to save her own life.
After poking ten more holes in the last condom, Su Yijia had just put it back when Qin Kaize walked in.
"Jiajia..."
As soon as he spoke, he noticed his little wife spring up like a startled cricket.
Qin Kaize frowned tightly, though despite his suspicions, he walked over and gently pulled her into his arms.
"What were you so focused on just now?" he asked with a chuckle.
Su Yijia leaned her head on his shoulder, her eyes darting around mischievously.
"Just organizing our things. I think we might as well bring your grandparents over here, so it’ll be easier to access what we need."
Her explanation seemed reasonable enough, but Qin Kaize knew something wasn’t right.
With Jiajia’s sharp senses, she definitely would have heard him coming—she was definitely up to something.
But since his little wife didn’t want to say, Qin Kaize didn’t push it.
He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Su Yijia’s head.
"I’ll be heading back to the team with them in a bit, should be back around nine tonight. Wait for me at home and don’t go wandering around. If you want to go anywhere, I’ll take you when I get back," he instructed, concerned.
Even though this was the city outskirts, the northwest was still relatively underdeveloped, especially in rural areas near the farms.
There’s truth to the saying that poor regions produce troublesome people.
If the higher-ups hadn’t specifically asked him to come, he wouldn’t have left Jiajia at a time like this.
If it were just her, he could’ve brought her along.
But now there were three of them, and bringing them to the team wasn’t feasible.
"It’s fine, you go ahead. I’ll be safe here at home," Su Yijia said, stepping back to straighten his clothes.
But inside, she couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
She had been hoping to use the excuse of resting after the two-day train ride to lure Qin Kaize to bed.
With his appetite, there’s no way he could stay well-behaved.
Who knows? Maybe they’d get it right on the first try.
But of course, the team’s work was more important.
Su Yijia walked him out to the courtyard and bid farewell to the group.
Noticing his girl’s slightly dejected mood, Qin Kaize gently held her hand and stroked it softly.
"I’ll try to finish up early and come back as soon as I can," he reassured her in his usual tender way.
His affection made the men behind him chuckle knowingly.
Blushing, Su Yijia nudged him.
"Go on already."
In the fading sunset, her delicate face looked so beautiful it was almost edible, making Qin Kaize’s throat tighten.
Suppressing the impulse, he turned and left.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin cooked a simple meal of three dishes and a soup with the groceries they had picked up on the way home.
The familiar flavors brought them back to life.
After dinner, Su Yijia heated two pots of water for everyone to bathe.
When her grandparents were done, she finally had her own long, relaxing bath.
After spending days on the train, she felt like she was starting to stink.
Once she finished these chores, Su Yijia headed into the space.
Recently, they had dismantled some of the weapons they had drawn, and she had been studying them with Qin Kaize for a while.
Now that he wasn’t around, she could continue their research.
As soon as they entered college, they would need to find a reason to hand over these things.
Not only for themselves but also for the strength of their nation.
Su Yijia got so engrossed in her work that she didn’t stop until her alarm went off at 9:30 p.m.
Yes, you read that right—she has an alarm clock now!
She had won it in a lottery draw.
Two daily points for an electronic alarm clock, which usually cost about twenty to thirty yuan on the market.
It even showed the year, date, day of the week, and temperature!
So advanced!
At first, when she won the alarm clock, Su Yijia almost exploded with anger.
But after using it for a while, she found it quite handy.
By now, Qin Kaize should be back soon, right?
Su Yijia thought as she packed up her things.
When she came out, she was greeted by the sight of her husband sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing only a pair of pants, casually toweling his wet hair.
Water droplets glistened on his well-defined abs, and as he lifted his arms, the muscles in his arms tensed attractively.
Even though Su Yijia had seen this scene countless times, it never failed to take her breath away.
Still caught off guard by the sight of her husband fresh out of the shower, she was rendered momentarily dazed.
Qin Kaize heard the movement and looked up at her, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms without saying a word.
Before she could react, his hot, possessive kisses came down like a storm, leaving no escape.
One of his strong hands wrapped tightly around her waist, while the other lifted her effortlessly.
In one swift movement, they tumbled onto the bed together.
Su Yijia’s legs turned to jelly, but she responded to him with increasing fervor.
Under the soft moonlight filtering through the curtains, the atmosphere in the room grew as steamy as a hot spring.
It wasn’t until the middle of the night that the passion finally subsided.
