Chapter 100: Fascinated by Her
Yu Li stopped trying to push herself. For a pregnant woman, after a day of traveling and working, she already had plenty of energy.
To only start feeling unwell now is already considered an incredibly strong pregnant woman.
She relaxed and softly rested her head against Qi Chenyan's chest.
"I just threw up, so I'll smell a bit."
Even at this point, Yu Li still remembered that Qi Chenyan had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Qi Chenyan didn't know whether to say that his little wife had a good memory or to be angry that she still remembered such a trivial matter at this time.
"But I also smell of freshly killed chicken, so it seems we're kindred spirits."
Yu Li chuckled, burying half her face in Qi Chenyan's chest, her trembling shoulders betraying her.
After laughing, Yu Li grabbed Qi Chenyan's arm and added worriedly, "Grandma is still busy in the kitchen, don't tell her I'm not feeling well."
Qi Chenyan naturally knew this, and said gently, "What's most important for you right now is to get some rest. I'll take care of Grandma."
To avoid being seen by her grandmother, Yu Li told Qi Chenyan to take a shortcut back to her bedroom.
After placing Yu Li on the bed, Qi Chenyan first propped up the pillows, then covered her with a blanket, opened the window for ventilation, and poured a glass of warm water.
"Drink a couple of sips of water to moisten your throat."
Qi Chenyan supported her back and personally fed her water.
After taking a couple of sips, Yu Li smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not that uncomfortable. I can drink water by myself."
Qi Chenyan gently brushed the stray hairs on her forehead that were damp with sweat.
"But it is only natural for a husband to take care of his wife. If I cannot be by your side when you are in pain and take care of your feelings at the first moment, then what is the point of my existence as a husband?"
“Yu Li, don’t always feel like you’re bothering me, and don’t always keep a distant heart. Try to trust me and rely on me. Everything I do for you doesn’t require you to repay me in the same way.”
Yu Li blinked twice, a little slow.
"But if I keep making demands of you, you'll eventually get annoyed, won't you?"
Qi Chenyan sighed softly: "But I'm good to you, and you're the same to me, when I'm choked by chili peppers, when I'm pecked by chickens, and in countless embarrassing moments."
"You helped me regain my confidence in your own way, Yu Li. In my heart, you are outstanding and have an interesting soul, which makes me involuntarily fascinated by you."
In the first thirty years of his life, Qi Chenyan had never said anything like this, something that sounded like a confession.
But he had indeed felt his heart race for Yu Li countless times before.
Although he didn't know if this was love, he was indeed moved and captivated by the soul in Yu Li.
Oh dear, what is this person saying? It's so embarrassing.
Yu Li covered her face and buried her head under the covers.
"I...I want to sleep for a while."
Qi Chenyan tucked the blanket in a little more. "Okay, if you still feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me right away. I'll be downstairs, okay?"
A small mound that had risen in the blankets shifted slightly.
Although he couldn't see it, Qi Chenyan could imagine the adorable scene of his little wife nodding under the covers.
Qi Chenyan had just returned downstairs when his grandmother came out of the kitchen.
"Xiao Yan, why did you run inside?"
Qi Chenyan replied calmly, "My clothes got dirty just now, so I went upstairs to change."
Grandma didn't suspect anything, but said curiously, "Hey, where did Lili go again? I wanted her to come to the kitchen so I could taste the saltiness of the dishes."
"She said she'd help me wash the stains off my clothes. Would you like me to taste any dishes so I can check the seasoning?"
Grandma didn't think much of it, since she didn't know whether her cooking suited Qi Chenyan's taste.
After taking a bite, Qi Chenyan praised, "The taste is excellent. It reminds me of the dishes my grandmother used to make. It's a delicious dish that I haven't tasted in a long time."
Grandma was all smiles after being coaxed.
No one dislikes being praised, especially someone as handsome as Qi Chenyan.
Humans are visual creatures, not to mention that Grandma and Yu Li are practically identical, so she has absolutely no resistance to handsome men.
"I'm glad you like it. If you like it, come often in the future, and Grandma will make it for you."
Qi Chenyan said "okay," and after plucking the remaining chicken feathers, he went to the kitchen to continue helping his grandmother.
Grandma likes her grandson-in-law more and more as she looks at him, as he has such good taste.
When it was time for dinner, Qi Chenyan went upstairs to call Yu Li.
Yu Li was still asleep, but after getting a good rest, her cheeks were no longer as pale as before, and had regained their usual rosy color.
Qi Chenyan sat down by the bed, not wanting to wake his wife.
He sat for a while, but still couldn't bear it. In the end, he could only reach out and gently tidy up his wife's messy black hair.
At that moment, Yu Li woke up on her own. She was still half asleep and only felt someone beside her.
When she was in her hometown, Yu Li was most relaxed, so she subconsciously assumed it was her grandmother or her best friend.
She leaned her face in and rubbed it against the other person's palm, like a kitten being affectionate.
Until, they heard Qi Chenyan's clear, melodious laughter.
"woke up?"
Yu Li immediately woke up, opened her eyes, and saw Qi Chenyan sitting by the bed, not her grandmother or best friend.
She then remembered that she was back on her honeymoon, and the person next to her was naturally her new husband.
How long have I been asleep?
Qi Chenyan helped Yu Li sit up before replying, "Not long ago, are you hungry? If you're not hungry, I'll go tell Grandma that you're still full and can eat later."
Yu Li stretched and was already full of energy again.
"How dare you! Are you planning to eat all the food yourself behind my back, so you're making me eat later so you can have it all to yourself?"
Seeing that his wife was joking around, it seemed she was no longer in pain, so Qi Chenyan played along with her.
"Yes, you've figured out what I'm thinking. Looks like I'd better finish eating all by myself quickly."
Yu Li immediately threw off the covers and jumped out of bed, "Then let's see who can run faster..."
But before she could even get into a starting position, Qi Chenyan grabbed her from behind, wrapped one arm around her waist, and scooped her up in his arms.
"Okay, you can't run around like that anymore. I won't fight you for it."
Yu Li kicked her feet, which were airborne, and covered her face.
"Oh dear, I'm so shy."
Qi Chenyan chuckled: "Then it seems I'll have to hug you more often in the future. Once I get used to it, I'll become thick-skinned."
Yu Li poked his arm.
After poking it, I found that it felt really good.
It's firm and elastic; even through the fabric, you can imagine the distinct muscle lines hidden beneath the clothes.
Instead of poking, she pinched it with her hand.
"Does it feel good?"
