Xuxu sighed deeply and stood up with determination . She grabbed her bag and left for the door .
After opening the door, she walked out and turned to the unit next door . She pressed the doorbell .
'Ding dong . '
The door immediately opened . The owner saw Xuxu and a streak of surprise flashed across his eyes . "Xuxu, what's wrong?"
Xuxu's initiative to look for him had taken him aback .
But when he noticed how well-dressed and neat she looked, he had a hunch with what was in store for him . His heart sank deeply .
Xuxu glanced at the man's gorgeous face and casually said, "The Civil Administration Office is open today . "
He already knew what she was going to say . But amid his disappointment, he had planned his strategy . He slightly frowned and feigned an awkward expression . "Today is the first day of work, and the Board of Directors are waiting for me to hold a meeting . I'm afraid I don't have the time . "

"Oh . " Xuxu nodded and lowered her head . "In that case… in the afternoon then . "
She turned around to go back to her house .
Yan Rusheng suddenly grabbed her wrist . "Xuxu . "
Xuxu spun around .
Yan Rusheng was trying to say something, but instead, pressed his lips .
He finally opened his mouth after a brief moment . "I'm going to Jincheng City for a work trip this afternoon . I would only be back after a few days . "
Xuxu heard what he said, and she lightly answered, "Then I'll wait for you to be back . "
Yan Rusheng nodded and reluctantly relinquished his grip .

Xuxu wasn't sure what she had done the entire day . When she reflected, besides eating, she simply slept the day away . She didn't even read anything .
Gradually, she had trouble sleeping at night .
Her throat felt parched and bitter, and so Xuxu sat up . She stretched her hand to turn on the lights when she caught a glimpse of light outside her window .
She got down and walked to the windows . She slightly lifted the curtains and saw that the room next door was still lighted .
Was he back?
'Cough… cough . '
The sound of a man coughing traveled to her ears, and it sounded like he had tried his best to stifle his cough but failed in the end .
Xuxu suddenly thought of what he said, and she unconsciously clenched her wrists .
So, she didn't imagine that she had heard coughing sounds in the night . It would mean that he didn't go on a work trip .
She put down the curtains and trod gently back to the bed . She stretched her hand, fumbled for her phone, and turned on the torchlight function before leaving her room .
She poured a glass of water and gulped it down . Then she went to the sofa with a second glass without switching on the lights .
She furrowed her eyebrows as she stroked her tummy . She fell into a daze with a glass of water in her hand .
Xuxu didn't sleep much that night . She switched on a lamp and flipped the pages of a book without actually reading its contents .
When it was almost dawn, she finally felt sleepy . She placed the book on the table and was about to return to her room to sleep .
When she reached the bathroom, she heard the sound of a door opening . It was from next door .
Xuxu trod carefully to the door and looked through the peephole .
The man was dressed in a formal suit as he stood outside the elevator .
Her heart involuntarily pounded . The man entered the elevator, and when the doors were about to close, she glimpsed the man's visibly tired face .
Xuxu turned around and leaned against the door . Her heart continued to beat quickly .
…
The doctor said that she could go for an ultrasound scan in a week . Xuxu discussed with Mu Li, and they went for a checkup after ten days .
It was the tenth day, and Mu Li came early in the morning . She knocked on Xuxu's door .
Xuxu didn't sleep well for the past few nights, and she only managed to fall asleep in the morning . After being woken up by Mu Li, she felt as if she were still half-asleep . She didn't even have the energy to brush her teeth .
