Jiang Can knew she couldn't escape this time.
"Wife," the man buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "we'll sleep here tonight..."
"But my son is alone in the bedroom..."
"What does it matter? Boys need to learn to be independent from a young age!"
"He'll be scared when he wakes up!"
"You mean you want to sleep with him again?!"
Huo Zhixing raised his voice and eyebrows in unison.
Since Xiao Junyu turned one month old, Huo Zhixing personally decorated the nursery and then, on the grounds that boys should become independent early, happily put him in there.
However, Jiang Can would sometimes bring Xiao Junyu into their bedroom, and she would put her son next to her to sleep so that it would be easier to breastfeed at night.
At first, Huo Zhixing still had a place on the bed.
Later, Jiang Can read some posts and became deeply worried that Huo Zhixing might roll over and smother their son in his sleep, so...
As long as her own son is in the master bedroom, her husband becomes like a freebie that comes with a phone plan, and he has to sleep in the guest room.
All of Huo Zhixing's dissatisfaction erupted tonight after being provoked by He Jin.
“Honey, our son needs to nurse in the middle of the night…” Jiang Can gently reasoned with him.
The man wouldn't reason with him; he simply said, "I want to eat too!"
"you……"
Jiang Can opened her eyes wide, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The next second, Huo Zhixing pressed the bell and ordered all the maids, nannies, and maternity nurses to go to the master bedroom to take care of the young master tonight.
Xiao Junyu has always had a good sleep quality. Even if she wakes up in the middle of the night, there is breast milk that has been stored in advance in the freezer, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
After making the arrangements, he looked at the little woman in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips. He held her close, acting both domineering and spoiled, "Now that you're in my bed, do you still want to get off?"
"Huo Zhixing!"
"I think this son is my rival from a past life!" he grinned mischievously. "Wife... how about giving me another lover from a past life?"
Just as Jiang Can was about to retort that he was greedy, a deep kiss sealed her lips, and she completely succumbed to his charms.
...
This time, Huo Zhixing's demands were fierce and aggressive, and Jiang Can could barely cope.
They kept going until late at night.
Afterwards, she lay lazily on the bed, her lower back aching more and more intensely.
Huo Zhixing smiled contentedly, got out of bed to check on his son, and reported back to her:
“I told you my son would be fine! Several nannies were watching over him, and he fell asleep quickly after having his milk.”
Despite her exhaustion, Jiang Can insisted on going to see for herself.
After a while, she returned to the guest room, where Huo Zhixing was holding a bottle of ointment and told her to lie down.
Jiang Can chuckled and obediently lay down beside him. He lifted her clothes and applied the ointment evenly to her lower abdomen.
That was a cream to fade stretch marks, personally prepared by Yin Ruohong, ensuring it was foolproof.
Jiang Can looked at her body. Although it hadn't changed shape, her belly wouldn't return to its original state anytime soon. Her skin was loose and saggy, like orange peel, and those unsightly stretch marks were still there.
Sometimes she herself doesn't want to look at these things.
But Huo Zhixing didn't care at all and applied the ointment for her every day without fail.
Jiang Can felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at his focused and meticulous expression, and reached out to touch his face.
No man in the world will ever treat her like that again.
And she will no longer give her all to love anyone.
Huo Zhixing looked at her with doting eyes, smiled gently, applied the ointment, lay down gently beside her, and took a fan to fan her.
He still remembered when they were in Jiangzhou, the two of them squeezed into that small rented room, and Jiang Can hardly ever turned on the air conditioner in order to save on electricity.
But as soon as he says it's hot, she immediately turns it on.
She even turned on the air conditioner and fanned him until the sweat on his body dried.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Can blinked her big eyes at him. "You're smiling so happily!"
"I'm wondering, what would things be like now if we hadn't gone anywhere and had just stayed in Jiangzhou?"
Jiang Can paused for a moment, then said, "It probably won't be much better."
"Why?"
“I know you miss the simple life you had in Jiangzhou.” The woman looked at him earnestly. “But people can’t stay simple forever. They always have to face the difficulties of life and the conflicts between people.”
"Since we'll have to face this anyway, we might as well stay in the central city or here. At least we have our families backing us up!"
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly; her thinking was becoming more and more mature.
“I really liked the simpler days of the past,” he said softly, “but I also like the complicated days of now.”
In short, I love having you in my life.
Jiang Can's eyes flickered, and she gently raised the corners of her lips.
"So, wife," he said, holding her small hand and emphasizing each word, "you are not allowed to meet with that He Jin alone anymore!"
"..." She smiled helplessly, a hint of mischief in her eyes, "You don't really think He Jin would be interested in me, do you? I'm a mother now, what would he want from me?"
“The child’s mother is also very charming!” Huo Zhixing said earnestly.
Jiang Can didn't argue with him; in his eyes, she was good no matter what.
She smiled sweetly, adjusted herself into a comfortable sleeping position, and nestled in his arms.
Although she didn't believe that He Jin, as a member of the royal family, had a special fetish for possessing other men's wives, she still secretly resolved to stay away from that person in the future.
"I'll try my best to refuse any more invitations from the royal family in the future," she said softly. "But Nie Xin is in a worse situation; I don't think Heya will let him off the hook anytime soon."
Huo Zhixing gently patted her back and kissed her hair.
Her breathing was even, and she quickly fell asleep. He, however, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, the words He Jin had said before leaving echoing in his mind.
