Sammy Jones feels like an old Buddha after pregnancy. And Joey Xu, who is always used to bossing people around, has become an errand boy.
All it takes is for Sammy Jones to point his hand and ask for water and tea.
Lying in Joey Xu’s arms, she enjoyed the feeling.
Joey Xu got out of the shower and pressed up against her, and his whole body became unsettled. It had been a few days since he had seen her, just a few days since he had touched her, and now he was as uncomfortable as if his body was on fire.
His kisses, from his eyelids to the tip of his nose to his lips …

“Sammy Jones, I really want to marry back now … When this is over, first thing, go to the civil office. Know what?”
Sammy Jones’ heart fluttered.
Is this a proposal?
Not romantic at all. Also, it’s overbearing.
But …
Her heart, however, couldn’t help but soar inch by inch. With wisps of sweetness that wrapped her around and around.
She didn’t answer, but she clasped his hand.
Small movements, and he felt them, gripping his fingers tightly and intertwining them with hers.
Just when she was touched full of emotion, he wickedly picked his lips, “After marrying you back, I can legally rape you. Barrister Ye, can you fight a marital rape case?”
So …
The only reason this guy is proposing to himself is to “legally report it”?
This asshole!
Sammy Jones was so angry that he grabbed a pillow and flung it hard at him.
“Joey Xu, you asshole! You get down there!”
She was not satisfied with the action, she kicked him again, and couldn’t kick him directly to the bed, but Joey Xu reached out and held her bare ankle in place. Joey Xu, however, reached out and grabbed her bare ankle.
She was gasping for air.
“Joey Xu, get off me! Come on!”
“Good rumpus?” He narrowed his eyes, a warning in them.
She threw a pillow at him and broke into sobs, “You bastard, you stinking man, you disappear for days at a time and come back to bully me! Bullying the baby!”
Listening to that aggrieved accusation, Joey Xu’s heart ached and hurriedly put her legs down.
But …
She was obviously addicted to accusations and continued, “I’m a pregnant woman now, how can you do this to a pregnant woman? Do you know that the little baby in my belly is still very fragile right now, how can it withstand you tossing it around like this! You dad, how can you be so bad?”
Days!
Joey Xu felt like he was dying of guilt.
“It’s me who’s bad, it’s me who deserves to die, I shouldn’t have bullied you!” Joey Xu immediately and obediently confessed. Who let the pregnant woman be the biggest? He hugged her and coaxed patiently with a cry, “Good boy, I’m joking with you. I won’t really force you, aren’t you carrying a baby now? I’m not that uninhibited.”
Sammy Jones’ mouth twitched, “So, what you’re saying … is that if I’m not pregnant, you’re really going to rape me?!”
Joey Xu grinned wickedly and kissed her red cheeks, “If you weren’t pregnant, I’d have plenty of ways to make you obey and beg me to have you, so need to use force?”
“…” Sammy Jones was silent, and then, turning around, hugged him by the shoulders and bit down hard, “Joey Xu, you complete and utter hooligan!”
Hooligans!
Absolute hooligans!
She was now beginning to worry about the little baby in her belly. If she gave birth to a son, he would definitely be as roguish as his dad in the future, victimizing other girls.
But the bigger headache would be having a daughter, right?
What would a daughter be like if she looked like Joey Xu?
Days!
Unimaginable.
The next day.
The Zhao family is hot and busy.
Zhao Yuanyuan started dressing up early, a set of dresses to try on.
“Sis, what do you think of this set?” Zhao Yuanyuan took a green dress and compared it to her body.
Zhao Lanlan was so preoccupied that she only swept a glance, then nodded and said, “Well, it’s quite good.”
Ji Qing Yue brought over the dim sum and handed it to her, the moment she smelled the oil she only wanted to vomit. Her face changed slightly, and before she lost her mind, she quickly pushed the plate of dim sum away, “Mom, I don’t want to eat it, you take it farther away.”
“What’s wrong? I see you’ve had a terrible appetite lately. Your face doesn’t look good either.”
“I’m fine.” Zhao Lanlan only shook her head.
Zhao Yuanyuan favored Zhao Lanlan without a good mood, “Sister, you can’t be like this because you’ve been worried about Joey Xu lately, right?”
Before Zhao Lanlan could say anything, he heard another voice pick up the conversation over, “I think so.”
The one who spoke was Xia Feiqing.
He walked over and sat down close to Zhao Lanlan, wrapping her in one arm, his eyes gazing at her, unfathomable, ”It’s very wrong for a woman with a husband to be so worried about other men. What? Aren’t you afraid that your husband I will be jealous?”
Zhao Lanlan’s hands resting on her knees clenched quietly.
Instead of answering, a rhetorical question was asked, “Do you get jealous?”
As if he didn’t expect her to ask this, Xia Feiqing was stunned in turn, and was directly stumped by this question.
Will you be jealous?
Approaching Zhao Lanlan from the beginning was nothing more than revenge. To get at Joey Xu, her, and Zhao Jiangyan.
So …
How could he possibly be jealous over this woman?
Even if, occasionally, he saw her and Joey Xu together, the burst of anger in his heart would never be jealousy. Yes, it must be because of unwillingness only!
Whether one loved her or not, this woman, was always his Xia Feiqing’s wife!
Seeing that Xia Feiqing didn’t say anything, Zhao Lanlan naturally knew that he was already in a hundred turns in his heart. However, she couldn’t see through him! Could never see through.
“I know you have another beloved.” Zhao Lanlan lowered her voice, “So no need to play the role of a fond husband in front of everyone, I really think that’s enough!”
She pulled Xia Feiqing’s hand off her shoulder with a cold attitude, and then, without even a glance at him anymore, she got up and left.
Intentionally, stay away from him.
Early on, he knew that Xia Feiqing was approaching himself with a purpose, and also told himself again and again that he could never fall in love with this man with a deep heart. But …
Why, when it was known that he had been in love with someone else all along, did it become so hard on the heart that it felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and couldn’t breathe.
Looking at that back, Xia Feiqing’s complexion was austere, and in the next instant, he rose boldly and followed.
This way …
Ji Qing Yue and Zhao Yuanyuan both noticed that something was off between them. Ji Qing Yue scolded her youngest daughter in annoyance, “I told you to keep your mouth shut and talk too much!”
Knowing that she was the one who was in the wrong, Zhao Yuanyuan spat out her tongue and didn’t dare say anything more.
Zhao Lanlan walked quickly towards her bedroom, and with footsteps following behind her, she couldn’t help but speed up her steps, a little flustered. The circle of shyness in her heart made her a little overwhelmed.
Is it because you love him that you feel so sad when you realize he’s in love with someone else?
No!
It shouldn’t be considered love, not even a heartbeat.
Simply because, after all, the two are husband and wife, and he is, after all, the father of the child in her womb, so it will be resentful and difficult!
With that thought, she pushed open the bedroom door and dodged inside, and was about to close it when an arm reached in first. Without waiting for her to push, the heavy door was already being heaved open.
“Xia Feiqing, get out! This is my room!”
Zhao Lanlan glared at him in annoyance.
But how could this man, who was used to giving orders and always towering over her, follow her orders? Not only did he not go out, he instead threw the door shut with a loud bang. With his long legs spread out, he approached her in one step.
“What are you upset about?”
Those sharp eyes stared at her, mixed with all sorts of complicated emotions, as if they were trying to look into her heart.
Zhao Lanlan’s heart tightened, the hand hanging at her side squeezed tightly, and a moment later, she raised her head to meet his gaze, and asked instead of answering, “What do you think I’m upset about when you follow me in here so nervously?”
Xia Feiqing wasn’t sure, “You’re jealous?”
Without waiting for her to answer, he added immediately after, “Suddenly realized I love something else, so … you’re having a hard time?”
A word that made her hold even her breath.
In the next instant, she was laughing, “Yeah, I’m jealous. What to do?”
The color of his eyes was slightly deeper, with sentiments she couldn’t understand churning through them. Zhao Lanlan’s smile deepened, “I remember you said that once I fall in love with you, it’s considered completely over between us.”
Her voice grew softer as she suddenly met him and walked up, her arms gently around his neck, her blinking eyes so captivating and heartwarming.
Xia Feiqing thin lips pursed into a “one” word, did not push her away, just mutely watched her in front of her to show the flavor of the side.
She had a distinctive scent.
Once upon a time, he had never noticed it. But, I don’t know when, but he even memorized the scent in his nostrils.
Some titillating flavors …
“If … now I say that I am really in love with you, is it that you are willing to let me go and willing to divorce me?” Her voice was very, very light, and the words she asked were like a heavy hammer blast hitting him in the chest.
His eyes tightened, and his long arm reached out and hooked around her waist. In the next instant, he held her down hard on the bed.
His upright body pressed against her nonchalantly, she was horrified and struggled, “Xia Feiqing, get up!”
Thinking of the child in her womb, she threw up her fists and pushed and punched at him.
Instead, he stood firm, and with one hand he wrapped both of her arms around his head and pressed them together. His eyes were cold, glaring at her from above, warningly, “Saying you love me just so you can divorce me?”
“Yes.” Zhao Lanlan laughed, “You don’t think I’m really in love with you, do you?”
