"No, absolutely not. My husband specifically asked me to go out and handle some trivial matters."

Lin Nuo explained hurriedly, with a little uneasiness and fear in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly and clenched his hands involuntarily, as if looking for a sense of security.

Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Lin Nuo, a glint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing and questioning in her tone: "Really? Lin Nuo, you have always been a calm person, why do you look so flustered today?"

Lin Nuo raised his head and met Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement.

The surrounding environment seemed to be frozen, with only the night wind whispering among the treetops, bringing a bit of coolness.

He paused and then spoke slowly: "Xiaoxiao, I was indeed just ordered to go out to do something related to...Tang Yaozu. You...it's better not to run around recently. Tang Yaozu has gone crazy. You know ?"

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, "Okay" but it did not completely dispel his doubts.

She looked around, sighed softly, and said, "Lin Nuo, I hope you are telling the truth. In this complicated world, honesty is more important than anything else."

When Lin Nuo heard this, his heart trembled, and his expression became more respectful.

He was well aware of Xu Xiaoxiao's intelligence and sensitivity and did not dare to hide it at all.

So, he reiterated again: "Xiaoxiao, what I said is true. It was indeed sir who sent me out."

"Well, I know, but what does he want you to do? Can you tell me?" Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and asked.

The conversation between the two seemed to be wrapped in something, and Lin Nuo's heart gradually returned to calm.

He didn't know how he could only smile in the face of Xu Xiaoxiao's doubts.

The early morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet living room.

Lin Nuo stood there, at a loss. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

At this moment, a soft and calm voice suddenly sounded, as if a bright light broke through the silence for a moment:

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is awake. Are you hungry? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

It was Fu Yanchen who arrived, and his appearance was like a long-awaited sweet rain, which instantly relieved Lin Nuo's embarrassment and uneasiness.

Fu Yanchen walked to the bed, with deep concern in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's slender wrist, as if conveying a sense of stability.

His fingers were slightly cool, bringing an inexplicable sense of security through Xu Xiaoxiao's warm skin.

Lin Nuo noticed Fu Yanchen's eyes, which were the kind of eyes only those who love him deeply could have.

He glanced at Fu Yanchen gratefully and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that with Fu Yanchen here, everything would be fine.

Fu Yanchen turned his head, looked at Lin Nuo, and squeezed his eyes gently, hinting in a way that only the two of them could understand, telling Lin Nuo to leave as soon as possible.

Although there was nothing wrong, Fu Yanchen deep down hoped that Xu Xiaoxiao could stay away from these disturbances and not be involved in anything.

Then, he returned his attention to Xu Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Come on, Xiaoxiao, don't sit like this all day long, it's not good for the baby."

After saying that, he stretched out his arm, carefully supported Xu Xiaoxiao, and helped her get up slowly.

Every movement was extremely gentle, as if she was holding an extremely precious treasure in her hands, and she was afraid that she might be hurt if she was not careful.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face was still a little pale, but with Fu Yanchen's help, some color gradually returned to her face.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Fu Yanchen asked gently again, his voice full of worry and reluctance.

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head gently and tried her best to smile, as if to tell him that she was fine.

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed, and the sunlight shone through the window on Xu Xiaoxiao's face, adding a bit of vitality to her.

"It's still early, why are you up now?"

Xu Xiaoxiao rubbed her slightly sore waist, her face showing a hint of exhaustion.

"I've slept for too long and my body aches. I want to get up and take a walk." As she spoke, she gently held her waist, showing some difficulty in her movements.

A trace of pity flashed in Fu Yanchen's eyes. He approached Xu Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work. The days after pregnancy will become more and more difficult. You... don't leave, okay?" There was a hint of pity in Fu Yanchen's eyes. With a bit of begging.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him, with complicated emotions in her eyes, "Fu Yan, we agreed..." There was a little anger in her words.

Fu Yanchen interrupted her eagerly, "Xiaoxiao, listen to me, I know, we agreed, I won't stop you from leaving, I just want to take care of you until the child is born. After the child is born, you can go wherever you want. Of course, if you want to stay...that's better."

His eyes were full of anticipation and reluctance.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to appreciate it. She frowned slightly and said, "Fu Yanchen, if you do this again, I will leave now."

With that said, she picked up her bag and started to walk out.

Her movements were decisive, without any hesitation, as if she had made some important decision at this moment.

Fu Yanchen was stunned on the spot, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he couldn't lose her, but he also knew that he couldn't change her decision.

Fu Yanchen hurriedly chased Xu Xiaoxiao's figure. His pace was a little hasty, but he always kept a certain distance and did not dare to get too close.

He looked at her determined back, feeling an unspeakable panic in his heart.

"Smile, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say anything, okay?"

Fu Yanchen finally caught up with her and gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, with a hint of pleading and apology in his tone.

Xu Xiaoxiao stopped but did not look back. There was a complicated light in her eyes, and she felt the warmth of Fu Yanchen's palm on the back of her hand, which was an apologetic warmth.

"I won't mention this matter in the future, okay? If you don't mention it, whatever do you want? It doesn't matter."

Fu Yanchen's voice was low and sincere, as if every word carried weight and weighed on his heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly turned around, an indescribable emotion reflected on his face.

She stared at Fu Yanchen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. When did this man, who had always been arrogant and confident, become so humble and compromised?

"Fu Yanchen, I never want to hear such words again."

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm, but every word revealed determination.

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Fu Yanchen responded hurriedly, his eyes full of sincerity and apology.

The shadows of the two people intertwined in the sunlight, just like their complex and entangled emotions at the moment.

Everything around them seemed to be still, only the night wind was gently blowing the corners of their clothes, taking away the heaviness and silence of this moment.
