Xie Zhiyan was initially a little taken aback. He looked up and met Shu Ying's gaze, only to see that her ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.
Shu Ying gently pushed his shoulders with both hands, creating some distance between them.
"Did you even listen to what I just said? You promised me last time that you wouldn't forget, and this matter is really important."
She already feels overwhelmed with just two children. If such a coincidence were to happen, let alone three children, even if there were one more, she feels she would still be unable to manage.
Xie Zhiyan's smile carried a hint of malice, as if he had something on his mind written all over his face. He pulled Shu Ying into his arms with one hand, and gently stroked her hair with his right.
"I'll keep my promise. I know you've been working hard lately, so you definitely need to rest. I promise I won't do anything reckless. Once you've recovered, we'll..."
"Okay, I was just reminding you, we somehow ended up talking about something else."
Shu Ying was afraid that he would say something even more shocking, so she immediately put a hand to his lips to stop him from saying anything more.
Xie Zhiyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Honey, I know you're doing this for my own good. I'll definitely make sure I get enough rest and exercise. Don't worry, I'll keep exercising every day so you won't have to work so hard."
Shu Ying wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. Every time Xie Zhiyan said these words in such a serious manner, she felt as if he was doing it on purpose.
Although her body was indeed a bit weak, she had been nourished by the spiritual spring water for some time, and had actually recovered by more than half. Such an occurrence once or twice wouldn't be a big deal.
Especially when she saw Xie Zhiyan's affectionate eyes, her heart softened involuntarily. She thought that perhaps she would be forever bound to him.
She originally wanted to comfort him, saying that it was normal to do it once or twice a month, but seeing Xie Zhiyan's gaze, she knew his meaning was clear: it's said that a man who has tasted meat is like a hungry wolf, and once he meets her, things will definitely not end easily.
Therefore, Shu Ying wisely kept quiet.
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized, Xie Zhiyan pulled back the curtains in the room with one hand.
"It's the sunniest time of day now, and the room needs more sunlight to feel warm. I have to go back to work after I get the documents. Yingying, go wash your face and go downstairs to have some fruit. I'll peel the apple for you right now."
He acted quickly; Xie Zhiyan always did more than he said. He helped Shu Ying put on her shoes, and while she was washing her face in the bathroom, Xie Zhiyan had already gone downstairs.
Xie Mingzhu also got up at that time.
"These fruits look fresh. It's grape season now, and they're all so plump and juicy. I specifically asked someone in the countryside to teach me how to grow them. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some grape seeds and add a grapevine to our yard. That way, we won't have to buy them next year, and we can eat fresh grapes anytime they're ripe."
