The two of them sat at the dining table.
Even though the topic of his heart disease relapse had ended, Shangxin was not fully assured.
When she thought of Nian Xiaomu’s reminder, she bit her lip and suddenly asked, “When are we getting married?”
“…”
“I am not forcing you to marry me, but if I give birth before we get married, our baby would be an illegitimate child. Also, if my dad knew about this, I am afraid that he would come over and kill you…” Shangxin bit onto her chopsticks and her volume level turned softer and softer as she spoke.
She really did not care about status.
She simply did not want her child to be fatherless the minute it was born.
As such, she mustered her courage and returned to the country to look for Tang Yuansi.
However, Nian Xiaomu was right. Did Tang Yuansi really want this child if he did not have any plans to get married?
Tang Yuansi must be in a bad condition if he had suffered a relapse from his heart disease, but he had chosen to hide this fact from her. Perhaps, he had constantly pushed her away because his condition had reached the worst possible stage.
He would never agree to keep the baby in this situation.
Shangxin’s entire heart wrenched when she thought of this.
She looked at Tang Yuansi with a probing gaze.
“Xin’er, a girl shouldn’t be the one asking this kind of question.” Tang Yuansi was stunned. He immediately placed his chopsticks down and massaged the space between his eyebrows.
It seemed as if someone had said snatched his words and said them in advance with that vexed look of his.
Shangxin was confused when she finally understood the meaning behind his words.
Does it mean that he did, in fact, consider marriage, just that he had not had the chance to tell her yet?
“I, actually, I am not in a rush to get married. Just that I, I…”
Tang Yuansi kindly shifted the topic and said, “Have your meal first. Don’t you like to stargaze? There will be shooting stars today, according to the observatory channel, I will accompany you to the rooftop to look at them later on.”
“…”
Shangxin had forgotten whatever she had wanted to ask after being teased by him.
Lowering her head, she finished her meal quietly and followed him upstairs to stargaze.
She lay against his embrace and fell asleep as she gazed.
In her state of delirium, she seemed to have heard someone speaking closely to her ears.
Upon a careful listen, she realized that the person did not seem to be speaking to her, and was instead speaking to the baby in her tummy.
It was Tang Yuansi’s voice.
“Daddy loves you, and Daddy loves Mummy too.” He kept repeating.
He was saying something else too. However, she was groggy from her sleep and did not hear properly.
Her lips curled into a smile when she heard him saying that he loves her and their baby. Contented, she entered dreamland.
She even dreamed of her baby in her dreams.
It was a very tiny and squishy little boy.
He looked exactly like Tang Yuansi.
He was sleeping in his swaddling clothes. Biting his tiny fists with great effort, he made smacking sounds as he sucked on his saliva…
He already knew how to act cute in front of everyone from the moment he was born.
Just when she wanted to reach out to hug him, the tiny baby before her, suddenly drifted further and further away from her…
“Baby!”
Shangxin woke up from her dreams with a rude start. Just when she wanted to sit up, she realized that she had been carried back to her room.
Tang Yuansi was hugging her tightly.
When he met her frightened gaze, he patted her back gently and asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”
“…”
“Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream.” Tang Yuansi’s gentle voice was accompanied by a loving tone and it calmed her frenetic emotions.
Her gaze landed on the bowl of medicine at the bedside. The strong smell of the medicine felt pungent to the nose.
She knitted her eyebrows and asked, “What is this?”
With a flicker of his eyes, Tang Yuansi picked up the bowl of medicine and passed it to her. “You said that you could not sleep well, so the doctor prescribed some Chinese medicine for you. It’s good for the baby.”
Shangxin did not doubt him at all as she reached out for the bowl of medicine. However, Tang Yuansi hesitated for a moment when he met her confused gaze, but still released his grip in the end.
He watched as she gulped down the medicine mouthful by mouthful…
