Looking into those watery eyes, Fu Huaijin couldn't help but smile gently. He silently took a plate of steamed pastries from the steamer and placed it by the window: "Hungry? The meal has just started. Have some pastries to tide you over."
Su Yuxi's eyes were instantly drawn to the steaming pastries. She wasn't afraid of getting burned and reached out to grab them, only to end up yelping from the heat.
Nevertheless, she still refused to let go, tossing the pastry in her palm a few times until it cooled down.
She couldn't wait to put the pastry into her mouth. A rich, sweet flavor spread in her mouth, and the soft, chewy texture lingered between her lips and teeth. As the warm pastry entered her stomach, she couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
The method for making these pastries is exactly the same as what you get outside, but the taste of Fu Huaijin's version is just different.
Seeing her impatient look, Fu Huaijin's eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "Don't burn yourself, let it cool down before you eat it."
Su Yuxi glanced at him sideways, snorted coldly, picked up the thick gloves next to her, and took away the whole plate of pastries.
Fu Huaijin looked at that retreating figure with a smile full of doting eyes, then turned around and continued cooking.
He spent more than two hours cooking this meal, and he prepared all the ingredients himself. The taste was also very much to Su Yuxi's liking.
Only Su Yuxi has the ability to make a pampered young master who never lifts a finger willingly wash his hands and cook for her.
Su Yuxi was in a good mood after finishing her meal, but the man who refused to leave made her very uncomfortable.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Fu Huaijin was busy replying to messages when he heard Su Yuxi's obvious attempt to shoo him away. His movements paused slightly, and the deliberate act of busyness crumbled instantly. He silently put his phone away, his eyes dimming slightly: "It's still early..."
Su Yuxi glanced at the pitch-black night outside. It was almost ten o'clock already. Why was it still early?
Never mind.
She stood up, stretched, covered her mouth, and yawned: "Then please close the door for me when you leave later, I'm going to sleep."
Without waiting for his response, she turned and went upstairs.
Fu Huaijin watched her retreating figure and reluctantly replied, "Okay."
But would he be the kind of person who obediently follows orders?
Of course not.
He had no intention of leaving once he arrived here today.
So, as soon as Su Yuxi fell asleep, Fu Huaijin tiptoed upstairs, cunningly slipped into the warm bed, and slowly approached and probed the person next to him before carefully pulling her into his arms.
I thought the person in my arms would resist or struggle, but they didn't.
Su Yuxi hummed softly, and when she touched the familiar crook of his arm, her body instinctively made her snuggle into that warm embrace, falling asleep in the comforting scent of his body.
Fu Huaijin smiled faintly at her initiative, a smile that held a hint of relief and satisfaction.
This action precisely shows that the person in his arms is still used to his presence.
After suffering from insomnia for nearly half a month, he was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
When Su Yuxi woke up, she was still lying in Fu Huaijin's arms. She looked down at the arms that were wrapped around her, and for a moment she felt as if she had been in another world and could not tell what day it was.
It wasn't until she heard the man's deep, husky voice above her that she snapped out of her daze. She quickly crawled out of his embrace, her drowsiness mostly gone, and glared at him with her charming, foxy eyes: "Why are you sleeping in my bed? Who told you to come up here?"
They're still arguing, and he's acting so disrespectfully.
Fu Huaijin pursed his lips slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "I thought... we had made up."
Su Yuxi snorted coldly and turned her head away from him: "Who said we made up? Didn't you give me the divorce papers?"
Thinking you can make up over just one meal? Dream on.
"I've already made up my mind that I'll live with the baby from now on, and I don't want to make up with you."
Fu Huaijin's expression suddenly tightened. He abruptly propped himself up, stretched out his arm, and pulled her back into his arms. He placed countless kisses on her hair, each one filled with deep love: "No, I've already admitted my mistake, why won't you forgive me?"
"Xixi, I was really out of my mind back then. You have no idea how panicked I was when you suddenly left and didn't want me anymore."
“Now that you’ve suddenly come back, I don’t know why you’re back or when you’re leaving, so I gave you the divorce papers in a moment of confusion. I just wanted to rekindle a little bit of my place in your heart.”
"I'm sorry, I'll never do it again."
"Please don't send me away." Fu Huaijin's arms were tense and his shoulders were trembling slightly. The fear from that day seemed to still be there. He was really scared, so when he heard the news that she was coming back, his first reaction was disbelief. He was afraid that it was all a dream and that the dream would shatter as soon as he saw her.
Listening to his confession, Su Yuxi felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who left first, so it was no wonder that others would be angry.
"Xixi, please forgive me. I promise I will never scare you again."
"Hmm?" Fu Huaijin's warm lips followed her hair down to her earlobe, then wandered along her neck, carrying his unique warmth that seeped into her bones through her thin skin.
Su Yuxi shrank her neck, her heart softening slightly.
She turned to face him, her lips pouting, and under his pleading gaze, she gave her answer: "We'll see."
The damage to the world has already been done; how can he be forgiven with just a few words?
Upon hearing this, Fu Huaijin's eyes filled with a smile, and he quickly gave her a light peck on the corner of her lips: "Okay, from now on you can keep a close eye on me. If I do anything to offend you, you can kick me out, okay?"
Su Yuxi covered her mouth and glared at her again: "Don't you dare take advantage of me."
Fu Huaijin pointed to the corner of his mouth, adopting a rather roguish air: "Then kiss me back, consider it returning the favor."
Su Yuxi wasn't that stupid. She reached out and pinched his cheek, then jumped off the bed: "You wish!"
Her sudden movement startled Fu Huaijin, making his skin crawl. He jumped off the bed, his voice filled with anxiety and concern: "Xixi, be careful of your stomach."
Although it was his first time becoming a father, while other pregnant women were very careful, afraid of bumping or bruising themselves, his silly wife was quite different. She dared to move things herself and even jumped out of bed.
Su Yuxi patted her protruding belly twice and chuckled, "It's okay, the baby is very strong and won't have any problems."
Fu Huaijin didn't dare to be as carefree as her. He stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and simply picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. He carefully squeezed toothpaste onto her toothpaste and treated her like a pampered young lady who didn't lift a finger.
