095 Get on, I'll carry you.
When they lived in the small boat house, she would always have stomach cramps when she had her period.
It doesn't hurt too much, just a feeling of fullness and discomfort.
The family was poor. After her maternal grandmother's income covered their education, there was simply no extra money for her to waste.
Huo Yanxi would tutor the village secretary's granddaughter, charging two yuan per lesson.
He would save some money each month and set aside a portion to buy her warming patches for uterine contractions.
The self-heating uterine warming patch is cold when removed from the heat; you need to warm it up with your body heat.
Each time, Huo Yanxi would warm it up in his arms before placing it on her lower abdomen through her clothes.
Seeing Huo Yanxi's practiced movements again, Xie Yaoyao's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
But she no longer dared to take all his thoughtfulness for granted as she used to.
Because she knew that his thoughtfulness stemmed from gratitude, and there was never any ulterior motive.
"Mr. Huo, I'm really flattered by your kindness. Give it to me, it's fine to just stick it on."
Huo Yanxi paused slightly. He didn't look at her, his eyelashes concealing the gloomy emotions in his eyes.
"It's okay. The instructions say to warm it up first before applying it to avoid getting a cold in your lower abdomen."
How could Xie Yaoyao not know?
She blinked slightly, her tone stiff and cold, "Mr. Huo, this is not appropriate."
As for what was inappropriate, she believed he understood what she meant.
She was just Huo Zidu's tutor; there shouldn't be any unnecessary entanglement between them.
Huo Yanxi's actions have actually crossed the line.
When Huo Yanxi suddenly realized that Xie Yaoyao was Chi Xiaoman, he held a burning heart, his overflowing emotions having nowhere to be expressed.
He restrained himself, and could only treat her well in these relatively normal ways.
And she kept saying it wasn't appropriate.
Do you really not want to have anything to do with him?
Suppressing the bitterness and grievance in his heart, Huo Yanxi said in a low voice, "I want to be good to you, is that not allowed?"
Xie Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat. What did Huo Yanxi mean by that?
Why does he want to be good to her?
Could it be that he has taken a liking to her?
That shouldn't be happening!
Back then, she was beautiful and had a sexy figure; she was the legendary fair-skinned, young, and slender woman.
Wherever she goes, she attracts whistles from a group of boys, and her rate of turning heads is the highest in the university.
Back then, when he and she were lying in the same bed, he would always put a pillow between them, afraid that she would cross the line.
Now she's so fat she's practically a ball, covered in flab, yet he's taken a liking to her. When did his taste become so bold and demanding?
She rubbed her forehead, realizing she must be overthinking things. "Okay, Mr. Huo, I understand you're treating me like a wet nurse."
What a sad thing.
The former husband and wife, now she has suddenly been promoted to a higher generation, how sad.
Old Lin, who was driving in the front seat, was so startled when he heard Xie Yaoyao call him "nanny" that he stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
The car was going too fast and almost crashed into the car in front. Old Lin quickly took remedial action and slammed on the brakes.
At this point, heavier people are less affected by inertia, and Xie Yaoyao was not thrown off.
Huo Yanxi almost bumped into the back of the seat in front of him, but luckily he reacted quickly and braced himself against the back of the seat, thus preventing a passionate kiss.
Huo Yanxi's voice was furious, "Old Lin, do you even know how to drive?"
Old Lin broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to look in the rearview mirror. "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I accidentally stepped on the wrong gas pedal."
It's all Teacher Xie's fault, how could he be so humorous? He scared him to death.
Huo Yanxi ground his back teeth, closed his eyes slightly, and composed himself.
"Drive carefully."
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
Seeing that he was angry, Xie Yaoyao shrank back by the car door like a quail, not daring to say a word.
Huo Yanxi took a deep breath, handed her the warm uterine warming patch, and said in a cold tone, "Put it on."
Xie Yaoyao became obedient at this moment. When she reached out to take the warming patch, her fingertips brushed against the back of his hand.
She was startled when a faint red mark appeared on her hand, and quickly took the warming patch and withdrew her hand.
"Sorry, my nails are too long. I'll trim them when I get home."
Huo Yanxi glanced at the red mark on the back of his hand, his eyes becoming dark and unreadable.
His lips curled slightly, and his expression carried a hint of illness.
The red marks were left by Manman; she wants to kiss me!
If Xie Yaoyao knew what he was thinking now, she would probably call him a pervert.
She applied the warming patch to her lower abdomen, and her cold abdomen finally warmed up.
She felt discomfort in her lower abdomen and gently closed her eyes. Suddenly, her lips touched something.
She opened her eyes, looked down, and saw a straw pressed against her lips.
Huo Yanxi's jade-like fingers held a thermos cup filled with steaming hot brown sugar water.
Xie Yaoyao took a sip, and the sweet brown sugar water warmed her stomach. The warm current also flowed to her lower abdomen, making her feel less uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo, you've thought of everything."
Huo Yanxi's eyes darkened, disliking her being so polite to him. "Actually, you don't need to be so polite to me."
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "It's better to be polite."
She couldn't take Huo Yanxi's kindness for granted, after all, they were only employer and employee at the moment.
If she gets it wrong, she'll be the one who suffers later.
Huo Yanxi's eyes were dark and unreadable, but he did not insist any further and handed her the thermos.
Xie Yaoyao took it and said thank you again, which made Huo Yanxi's temples throb.
His people had always been so polite to him; their obvious aloofness made him angry.
He clenched his fists, turned his head to look out the car window, and slowly calmed the anger in his chest.
The car drove into No. 22 Taipingshan and stopped in the courtyard. Xie Ziyu and Doubao ran around wildly in the courtyard.
Huo Zidu sat on the swing and played games.
When Xie Ziyu saw Huo Yanxi's car, he quickly ran over with Doubao in his arms.
Huo Yanxi was the first to get out of the car. When he saw Xie Ziyu, his feelings were indescribable.
Actually, he doesn't like children.
But Xie Ziyu was born to Manman, he's not just any child, and he'll try to like him.
Xie Ziyu saw Huo Yanxi standing by the car door, completely blocking the way for getting out of the car.
He tugged at his sleeve in disgust, "Old Deng, move aside, where's my mommy?"
He didn't see his mother get out of the car, and he was a little worried that Huo Yanxi might have taken her to be sold.
Huo Yanxi: "..."
He decided to like Xie Ziyu less and give the extra affection to Manman.
Hearing Xie Ziyu's voice from inside the car, Xie Yaoyao weakly replied, "Yu Bao, I'm here."
Xie Ziyu leaned against the car window and saw Xie Yaoyao, asking, "Mommy, did Lao Deng hit you? Why do you look so pale?"
Doubao barked twice, its eyes fixed on her, whimpering as if worried about her.
Huo Yanxi's handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "I never hit women."
Besides, she's the woman he cherishes most; he'd love her dearly, how could he possibly hit her?
Xie Ziyu is such a troublemaker, he's decided to like him a little less.
Xie Yaoyao climbed out of the car, her face as white as paper, which terrified Xie Ziyu.
"Mommy, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
"It's nothing, it's normal. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a bit, I'll be fine tomorrow."
As she spoke, she staggered toward the villa. As she passed Huo Yanxi, he grabbed her arm.
He ignored her surprised expression, walked around to the front of her, squatted down slightly, and said, "Get on, I'll carry you."
