"Can I lick your hand too?" Gu Qinghuai asked rhetorically, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuai couldn't help but feel a little envious of Dahuang.
Lin Xihe would stroke its head, gently knead its cheeks, and even blow air into its nose.
How sweet it would be if these actions were done to oneself.
"You...you...you're beyond saving!" Lin Xihe said speechlessly.
She patted Big Yellow's head, got up, washed her hands, and turned to flee back into the house.
Lin Xihe felt that she really couldn't do anything about Gu Qinghuai.
Gu Qinghuai sat alone under the apricot tree, watching Lin Xihe's slightly flustered back, and couldn't help but find her extremely cute.
A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of apricot blossoms, but he had no heart to appreciate it.
All night yesterday, he was immersed in the joy of Lin Xihe's pregnancy, and his mind was full of how to keep Lin Xihe.
He racked his brains, thinking of all sorts of solutions.
On the one hand, he was worried about Lin Xihe's health, since she was pregnant and needed to take good care of herself; on the other hand, he was afraid that Lin Xihe would leave him.
He paced back and forth in the room, anxiously looking at Lin Xihe's image, until dawn.
Because he was worried that Lin Xihe was not eating or sleeping well outside, he informed His Majesty as soon as His Majesty got up that he wanted to take Lin Xihe home to rest and recuperate.
Now that he has arrived at this place that brings him peace of mind, sleepiness has finally set in.
Lin Xihe only came out of the house after the kitchen had prepared the meal and a servant came to invite her.
Gu Qinghuai was seen resting his head on one hand at the stone table. No wonder he had been in the courtyard all this time; he had fallen asleep.
Lin Xihe gestured for Ling Xue to wake Gu Qinghuai, and then the two went to the flower hall together.
The dining table in the flower hall was laden with dishes. Gu Qinghuai had just sat down next to Lin Xihe when he heard Lin Xihe say, "You should leave after you finish eating. Don't linger here."
Gu Qinghuai's lips curled slightly upward, and he raised an eyebrow, but did not respond.
"You won't agree, right?" Lin Xihe pressed.
Gu Qinghuai did not answer directly, but instead put a few pieces of food into Lin Xihe's bowl and said, "I'll go back after dinner, so eat quickly."
Seeing that Gu Qinghuai was about to leave, Lin Xihe picked up the jade chopsticks on the table and began to eat.
She disliked the servants serving her food, preferring to serve herself the food directly.
Lin Xihe didn't touch the food Gu Qinghuai put on her plate, but Gu Qinghuai continued to put food on her plate patiently.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuai was serving soup to Lin Xihe. He used a soup spoon to pick out the chopped scallions sprinkled in the soup one by one before placing the soup in front of Lin Xihe.
Lin Xihe was surprised by Gu Qinghuai's actions; he actually knew that she didn't like scallions.
In her opinion, although scallions are not tasty, they always feel like something is missing when cooking without them, so she just pushes the scallions aside when eating, and even Ling Shuang and Ling Xue never noticed this.
Lin Xihe already knew that Gu Qinghuai cared about her, but she didn't expect him to be so observant.
However, it was precisely this meticulous care that made Lin Xihe feel immense pressure.
The next day, Gu Qinghuai arrived at the Lin residence at lunchtime and left after dinner.
If the door is closed, he will climb over the wall and go inside; if they try to drive him away, he will pretend to be pitiful and say that he will go to Nanzhao in a few days.
In short, he relentlessly pestered her, taking every opportunity to gently stroke Lin Xihe's lower abdomen; the term "shameless" would not be an exaggeration.
