Chapter 116 Preparing to Return to the Capital
The air in the room was quiet. He fell into a deep sleep, his eyelids closed, his face defenseless, and he slept soundly and sweetly.
Xu Yueyao tilted her head slightly to look at him. He seemed to have become thinner, with a sharp jawline, as if carved by a knife. A thin layer of skin and flesh wrapped around the sharp edges, making his nose look taller. His bone structure was absolutely beautiful.
Xu Yueyao unconsciously stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the bridge of his nose with her fingertips. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he felt the touch in his dream, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his face. He turned over, held her hand and asked softly, "What time is it?"
Xu Yueyao looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
"It's five forty."
She found a comfortable position to lie down, touched her belly out of habit and asked, "How long have you not had a good sleep? You have such dark circles under your eyes."
Zhan Rongxuan opened his eyes and woke up instantly. How could he have forgotten that this guy was very superficial? He hadn't slept well in the past few months. He stayed up all night before coming and explained a lot of things to Rong Ting. He touched his eyes and asked, "Are the dark circles heavy?"
Xu Yueyao looked at him carefully and nodded. He had fair skin so the slightly darker skin around his eyes would be extremely obvious.
Zhan Rongxuan stood up and tidied his clothes. Xu Yueyao was confused, "What's wrong?"
"Go prepare dinner and go to bed early tonight." Zhan Rongxuan stood up and covered her with a blanket. "Lie down for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Xu Yueyao looked at his back as he left, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. When did he start to pay attention to his appearance? However, she touched her belly and sighed,
"It seems that my mother and I don't need to eat instant noodles today."
The baby in her belly also responded to her happily. Xu Yueyao touched her belly and interacted with him gently. Calculating the time, it was only half a month before the due date, and she would be able to see this little guy soon.
There were all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator, and Zhan Rongxuan quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
Xu Yueyao came out and couldn't help but praise, "It smells so good."
Zhan Rongxuan saw that she actually took the initiative to eat the vegetables and didn't even touch the spareribs next to her. He looked at the dishes on the table. Things that he didn't like to eat before, he now enjoyed them.
"What's wrong? Not to your liking?" Zhan Rongxuan saw that she only took a bite of the short ribs and put them aside. It was not as sweet as before.
"I prefer heavy flavors now, and I feel sick of sweet food." Xu Yueyao's taste has changed a lot. She doesn't like the things she used to like now, especially meat. She doesn't even want to look at it. She now prefers to eat vegetables.
"Then drink some soup," Zhan Rongxuan handed the soup to her, and Xu Yueyao took two sips symbolically.
"Sorry, Rong Xuan, I should have told you in advance that my taste has changed a lot now."
"I should be sorry because I wasn't around when you had these changes." Zhan Rongxuan held her hand and felt guilty towards her. He should have come earlier.
"But it doesn't matter, just tell me slowly, I promise you that I will never leave you."
"Okay, I'll tell you everything."
"What about the soup? Don't you like it?"
"No, my belly is big now. It's very troublesome to go to the toilet if I drink too much soup at night."
"Also, my appetite has become smaller now. I feel full after eating a little, but I get hungry quickly."
"Anything else?" Zhan Rongxuan nodded and took note of it, then looked up and asked her.
Xu Yueyao smiled and shook her head, unable to remember for a moment. She held her chin and looked at him.
"I'm full now, but wanted to be here, watching you eat, your face is so friendly to my eyes."
Zhan Rongxuan's lips curled up slightly, he leaned back lazily, his eyebrows slightly raised, "I don't mind changing to another place so you can see enough."
"Are you full?" Xu Yueyao saw that he hardly ate anything.
"I'm not hungry, but I'm sleepy. Please go to sleep with me."
The two came to the bedroom, "You go to sleep, I'm not sleepy," Xu Yueyao dimmed the lights and turned around to see him taking off his clothes without any shyness.
Xu Yueyao touched her eyebrows uncomfortably and said, "Go in quickly, don't get cold."
Zhan Rongxuan lay down and closed his eyes, "You lie down and sleep together."
"I'm not sleepy, I'm reading a book," Xu Yueyao lay beside him and picked up the book she usually used to pass the time.
Xu Yueyao looked at the book without reading a single word. She couldn't help but ask, "Rong Xuan, has Nangong Yan asked you about me?"
Not hearing a response, Xu Yueyao turned her head and saw that he was already asleep, his body rising and falling slowly with his breathing, which was slow and powerful, revealing a rare calmness.
Xu Yueyao threw away the book in her hand. As if he had sensed it, he naturally stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, gently touching her belly. She, who had not felt sleepy at first, slowly fell asleep.
The night was gentle and the lights were dim. He and she embraced each other, their breaths intertwined. After being tense for a long time, Zhan Rongxuan finally relaxed completely, both his body and mind becoming relaxed. Even in his dreams, his face was filled with a happy smile, as if he had found something important in his dreams.

The next morning, Xu Yueyao woke up and almost pressed her stomach when she turned over. She touched her stomach and frowned, then found a comfortable position. She held back a sigh. She wanted to give birth quickly as she was too tired.
"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Zhan Rongxuan came out of the bathroom, saw that she looked uncomfortable, and went forward to give her a massage.
"Are you cramping again?" he asked while rubbing his calf.
"No, I just feel sore in my back and I'm so tired."
Zhan Rongxuan looked at her and was a little worried, "Yaoyao, let's go back today."
Xu Yueyao was a little hesitant. She couldn't help but ask, "You know everything about me, right? Will I be in trouble if I go back?"
Zhan Rongxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she liked the air here and didn't want to leave.
"Nangong Ying is dead, the Nangong family has no hostility towards you, and the Mu family is not something to be feared now...
"Nangong Ying died, how could that happen? Was it because of her face?"
"No, she once plotted to kill her cousin, and her aunt killed her after finding out. It has nothing to do with you." Zhan Rongxuan rubbed her waist and spoke to her calmly.
"She's dead," Xu Yueyao couldn't help but repeat, so she should be able to go back.
"Is she sure she's dead?" Xu Yueyao still couldn't believe it. Could it be that he was faking his death?
"Sure, Nangong Yan handled it personally."
"How is Nangong Yan now? If he knew that I was not dead, would he hate me?"
"Don't worry, no one will hate you, they all miss you very much." Zhan Rongxuan hugged her gently, and felt indescribably distressed seeing her being so cautious.
"Do you want to go back? If you don't want to go back, I will stay with you and we can stay here."
Xu Yueyao thought about it and decided that if she went back, all her friends would buy houses in Didu, and since she was no longer in danger, there was no need for her to hide anymore.
"Rong Xuan, I want to go back, let's go back," Xu Yueyao looked up at him, her eyes instantly brightened, revealing unspeakable joy.
"Okay, let's go back. Let's go back together." He touched her belly, his eyes became gentle and bright.
