Chapter 1521 - 1525: Why Are You Sleeping Like This

"Huan, I just asked Young Master Yao to close the door for me when he leaves. I’m heavily pregnant, and it’s really inconvenient for me to move around." Xia Qingqian smiled and pointed at her large belly, "I’m a bit tired today, so I don’t want to move."

She felt her legs were a bit numb, and walking would drain her energy.

"You’ve got guts! I thought you’d just sweet-talk him like you always do and it’d be fine." Beitang Huan helped Xia Qingqian sit down and handed her the warmed milk, "If you really did that, you’d have no ambition at all!"

Xia Qingqian took a couple of sips of milk, looked up at Beitang Huan and said, "My ankles are swollen again, soon I won’t have any shoes to wear."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Huan squatted down to look at Xia Qingqian’s swollen feet, which were devoid of any beauty, "Women are truly remarkable, enduring such hardships for a man to have a child, it’s really not easy! If that man doesn’t love the woman, he truly is a scumbag. Women can sacrifice so much for a man. What do they get in return? Having a baby ruins their figure, and their skin is not as smooth as it used to be. What a sacrifice, if Brother Yao doesn’t appreciate you, he truly deserves to be cursed!"

"Huan, every pregnant woman’s feet swell, you’ll experience this in the future too." Xia Qingqian curled her feet and said, "I’m wearing Young Master Yao’s shoes now, my own shoes have become two sizes too small."

"Oh my! Your swelling is so exaggerated!" Beitang Huan gasped, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Should I call Lao Chen or Ye Feng to check on you?"

"No need, I just feel a bit weak. A little more rest and I’ll be fine." She waved her hand and said, "Huan, if you have nothing else, please leave for now, I’d like to nap a little."

Beitang Huan understood that pregnant women are naturally sleepy, and Qing Qian hadn’t rested well these days. Hearing her say she wanted to rest now, she didn’t dare disturb Qian Qian’s rest.

"Rest well then, if you’re hungry, call Sister Huan or Sister Chen Xiao Fen to make something tasty for you." Beitang Huan helped Xia Qingqian to the bed, tucked her in well, and then left.

When Xia Qingqian woke up, she felt a heaviness on her waist. As she looked down, she found a man’s arm resting on her belly. She frowned and turned her face to see the man lying beside her, smiling weakly. He lay next to her, having fallen asleep without even taking off his clothes, not even covering himself with a blanket, curling up instead.

This made Xia Qingqian feel a bit pained. She quickly reached for the blanket to cover him, to keep him from catching a cold.

As she finished doing this, her wrist was suddenly gripped, and she looked down to meet his bloodshot eyes, causing an involuntary tremor in her heart.

"How could you fall asleep like this? Don’t you know you’ll catch a cold without a blanket?" She gave him a gentle smile. Seeing him in his clothes, he must be uncomfortable. He always preferred sleeping naked, so having him sleep in clothes was really a bother for him.

"I thought that as long as I’m lying next to you, it’s enough." When he came back from the study and saw her peacefully asleep, he couldn’t help but take off his shoes and lie next to her, gently placing his hand on her bulging belly, softly caressing it, quietly watching her sleeping face, and eventually falling asleep himself.
