Nanxi still followed her biological clock and woke up in a daze at around five in the morning. She subconsciously wanted to call her husband, but when she opened her eyes and saw the surrounding environment, she suddenly woke up.
He rubbed his swollen eye sockets, supported himself on the edge of the bed and sat up, then went to the bathroom.
If she were in Yiya Manor, she would fall asleep again quickly until the servant came to call her, but today, she lay in bed again, but couldn't fall asleep.
Since I couldn't sleep, I simply got up and washed up, then walked to the bed, opened the curtains, looked at the white waves outside and the sky gradually becoming blue, and felt an indescribable anxiety and depression in my heart.
All the emotions from yesterday came flooding back, and she had no time to react. In addition, the long flight had exhausted her physical strength. Under these multiple circumstances, she ignored the restlessness in her heart. But now, after a night, in such a quiet morning, the longing and sorrow came rushing in, as if to drown her.
If nothing unexpected happens, in a few hours, she will be able to see the husband she has been thinking about day and night, nestling in her arms and acting coquettishly, listening to her clumsy love words, feeling his strong heartbeat, and comforting the uneasiness that has lingered in her heart for many days.
But now, she was trapped on this isolated island, with an uncertain future. She didn't know if he could find her, or when she could contact him again. With her big belly, it was difficult for her to even walk a few steps, let alone escape. She could only become a fish on the chopping board.
Pregnant women are too sentimental, but fortunately, their maternal instinct can save them from self-pity.
Yes, for the sake of the baby, for the sake of their little dragon cub, she must be strong and hold on.
Nanxi wiped her tears, bit her lip and forced herself to calm down. Then she put her hands on her pregnant belly and said softly,
"Little dragon cub, we are not afraid. Dad will definitely find us, and Mom will be strong. You have to be strong too. You are the cub of an evil dragon, the bravest cub in the world, right?
Even though Dad is not around now, you have his blood in you, so you will definitely be able to help Mom through this difficult time, right?"
As she finished speaking, a small mark suddenly appeared on the bulge on her belly. She could clearly feel the baby's fetal movement, and it seemed to be his little feet.
Nanxi pursed her lips. The expectant mother, already accustomed to the fetal movements, gently touched her bulging belly. Her heart softened, "Little dragon cub is so well behaved. Well done."
She raised her eyes and watched the seabirds flapping their wings and chirping outside the window, her slender white fingers constantly stroking the top-quality jade bracelet on her hand.
This was the wedding gift her husband had given her. She had taken it down once before and it almost cost him his life. Since then, she had never taken it down again.
She had changed her bad habit of picking her hands when she was nervous to rubbing the bracelet, as if she was pinching her husband's strong and delicate arm.
Boom boom boom…
There was a knock on the door.
The woman frowned, glared at the door, didn't move, and pretended not to hear.
"Xixi, open the door, or I'll ask someone to get the key." It was Cha Mu's anxious voice outside.
Nanxi was annoyed, stood up and opened the door reluctantly, with a cold face,
"This is your home. If you want to be a gentleman, be honest. If you want to be a villain, just open the door with your key. Why bother to come knocking like this?"
Seeing that she looked normal except for her anger and slightly swollen eyes, Cha Mu breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his expression.
"Why are you up so early? I thought you were not feeling well, so I came to check on you."
Nanxi said coldly, not looking at him, "Do you see it now? I'm fine, can I go now?"
The handsome face of the man opposite suddenly turned cold. He glared down at her indifferent face and said in a hoarse voice, "Xixi, I have already made my thoughts very clear to you on the plane. I am willing to pamper you and give you time to adjust and adapt, but you'd better adapt to your new identity and role as soon as possible. I don't have that much patience.
If you ask me to assess whether the current indulgence is too high a sunk cost for me, I don't mind using some quick and effective measures."
Nanxi's hand on the door handle suddenly retracted. She still didn't say anything, but her heart felt like being pinched by something.
Nan Suzhi always called her Luanluan.
Nan Suzhi would never talk to her like that.
The man opposite saw her face turn pale, took a deep breath, and softened his voice a little, "It's still early, sleep a little longer, I'll have someone prepare breakfast for you."
Nanxi raised her eyes for the last time and looked at his back.
Nan Suzhi's left arm was injured, so he always swung his right arm slightly when walking. This was a small detail that few people could notice, but as a sister, she was very clear about it.
But the man in front of him walked with an upright and handsome manner, his arms swinging naturally back and forth, which was completely contrary to Nan Suzhi's behavior.
Nanxi bit her lip, "Chamu——"
She suddenly shouted.
The person in front of her paused and looked back at her. His dark eyes were as deep as an ancient well, with no end in sight.
"Are you still my brother?" she asked.
Cha Mu smiled and said, "If you like to call me brother, keep calling me that. I love to hear it, but only when we're alone. From now on, you have to get used to being my wife and the mistress of this island."
He spoke softly and calmly, his voice lacking much movement, like a doting man responding to the unreasonable questioning of a young woman, but Nanxi felt a chill in her heart.
He is not Nan Suzhi.
So who is he? Why does he have a face exactly like Nan Suzhi's?
Why did she know some details about her relationship with Nan Suzhi?
And why does he have everything of Nan Suzhi?
This realization was so bizarre that the moment the door closed, she was so frightened that she could hardly stand, tears streaming down her face.
"Dailong... where are you... I'm scared..."
No matter how strong a woman is, she will still be afraid when faced with this hopeless and powerless predicament, and instinctively want to find the harbor that has always given her infinite sense of security.
The baby in the belly moved again, as if the child felt the mother's emotions and comforted her in this way.
Nanxi wiped her tears tremblingly and whispered,
"Baby, don't worry, Mommy is fine. I just need to cry a little and I'll be fine. Don't worry, no matter who he is, Mommy will never let him hurt you. We have to be strong..."
At this moment, only the child in her belly, who is connected to her by blood, can give her comfort and strength, allowing her to grit her teeth and hold on.
"Since you are not my brother, then I feel relieved..."
The woman sat with her back against the door for several minutes, with a chill in her eyes, talking to herself. Her beautiful eyelashes were still wet with moisture, and from a distance, they looked like ice and snow, covering her black eyes. The snow stretched for thousands of miles, across the rivers, mountains and seas, freezing the fertile plains of Irrawaddy.
