Yan Rusheng nodded to indicate his assent . After gazing at Bai Jing once more, he turned around to leave .
Bai Jing spun her head around to glance at Yan Rusheng one last time before he left .
Yan Rusheng took out his phone and saw a text from Xuxu .
‘Ah Sheng, did something happen?’
He recalled the phone call earlier on and how impatient he must have sounded .
He felt so thankful when he read the text .
‘I’ll be home right away . ’ He replied Xuxu .
And he proceeded to hasten his footsteps .
Xuxu finally received Yan Rusheng’s reply and she heaved a sigh of relief . She put down her phone and instinctively rest her hands on her round belly and gently caressed it .
She stretched her hand to reach for a book which she had been reading recently . She began reading as she wanted to wait for Yan Rusheng to return home .
Yan Rusheng entered through the main door and all the servants had gone back to their rooms to rest . Only Mu Li was awake in the living room .
Every night, she would stay up to wait for Yan Rusheng . Her face lit up when she saw Yan Rusheng . “Why did you come home so late tonight?”
“An accident happened at the site . ” Yan Rusheng answered Mu Li as he walked .
Mu Li asked anxiously, “What happened? Have you solved it?”
Yan Rusheng replied, “A worker injured his leg and was sent to the hospital . ”
Yan Rusheng didn’t want Mu Li to worry and hence he skipped the part of how Bai Lisong had saved him .
Mu Li nodded and continued, “Then you must instruct them to take good care of him . ”
Yan Rusheng nodded and walked past the couch without stopping . He proceeded to the staircase and went up .
Mu Li watched her son fondly and felt sorry for him too . He looked completely drained .
As his mother, how could she not be worried when her son barely had time to sit down for a proper meal everyday?
Yan Rusheng pushed the door gently as he wasn’t sure if Xuxu was asleep .
He glanced at the bed and saw the tiny woman resting against the bed . She was still holding a book and had dozed off .
Yan Rusheng felt sorry and gently closed the door after him . Then he treaded carefully towards the bed .
He bent to take a closer look at his wife’s face .
Her face was visibly rounder due to the tonics she has been taking . Her complexion was rosier too and Yan Rusheng smiled affectionately at her . He gave her a swift kiss on her cheek .
He took away her book and placed it on top of the drawers .
He lifted the blanket gingerly and carried her up . He wanted to lay her down properly on the bed and adjust her sleeping position .
Yan Rusheng’s eyes landed on Xuxu’s protruding tummy and his eyes softened once more . He gazed at her quietly for a while before covering her with the blanket .
Seeing how sound asleep Xuxu was, Yan Rusheng felt so thankful and sorry at the same time . Wen Xuxu was never unreasonable and was such a sensible woman . At the same time, she was always so accommodating and understanding towards him .
Xuxu woke up in the middle of the night to find Yan Rusheng in deep sleep next to her . He looked exhausted and Xuxu was afraid of waking him up . After a long while, she left the bed to go to the bathroom .
For fear of waking Yan Rusheng up, she went back to her room to sleep after she came out of the bathroom .
Yan Rusheng had left the house when she woke up the next morning .
Mu Li and Yan Weihong were in the dining room and he was nowhere in sight . Xuxu was a little disappointed as she sat down next to Mu Li .
“Missy, Miss Zhou is here . ”
Xuxu was drinking her milk when Aunt Zhang came in to announce Zhou Shuang’s arrival .
