The photo clearly showed Xi Xuanyao and Shen Lanxi. At the bottom was a video. She was trembling as she was about to click it when Xi Xuanyao called her, "Where are you?"

"I'm in the dessert shop. The decorator said the work is finished and asked me to come and inspect it," Ruan Yin whispered.

Xi Xuanyao flew back to China early in the morning. He thought he would see familiar faces when he got home, but the house was quiet and no one was there. He called Ruan Yin and heard that she was in the dessert shop. His voice became unusually anxious, "You are injured, why don't you stay at home?" Realizing that his tone was not good, he pinched his eyebrows and said, "I will send someone to inspect it. You leave that place quickly and I will come to pick you up."

Ruan Yin: "I'm wearing" a mask, but before she could finish her sentence, the phone was hung up.

"Is it Xi Xuanyao's call?" Ye Wanshuang raised her eyebrows and asked affirmatively.

Ruan Yinqiang smiled and said, "Yeah, I don't know why he gets nervous every time he hears that I come to the dessert shop. He always says that it's not good for me to come here when I'm pregnant. I know it's not good, but I'm wearing a mask, and it's just this once, so nothing will happen."

Ye Wanshuang stood up and said, "It's a good thing that he's worried about you. I forgot that you're pregnant. You need to be careful. Let's go."

Not long after they arrived downstairs, Xi Xuanyao came over, held Ruan Yin's shoulders, looked her up and down, and asked nervously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at his concerned eyes and nervous attitude, those who didn't know would think that he loved her very much. Ruan Yin laughed at herself, saying that she was just nervous about the child and it had little to do with who the child's mother was. The words her aunt said in the hospital were still ringing in her ears, "If he doesn't give birth to an heir before the age of 30, he will face the risk of being replaced."

Ye Wanshuang didn't want to eat dog food, so she said hello to Ruan Yin with her eyes and left in a cool manner.

"No, I wore a mask and I only stayed in there for less than half an hour," Ruan Yin replied in a low voice.

Xi Xuanyao was still worried, so he took her to the hospital for a checkup. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the doctor said there was nothing wrong. He turned around and said, "Don't go there for half a year. Tell me what you want to do and I'll arrange it."

Half a year? That means she can go after she gives birth to the baby. He really only cares about the baby. Reason tells her that this is not the case, but she can't help thinking in this direction. In those photos, is he abroad?

"Why aren't you talking?" Xi Xuanyao looked at Ruan Yin in confusion. She had never been so quiet before. She always chattered non-stop.

Ruan Yin shook her head. When she got home, she went straight to the bathroom, turned on her cell phone, and swallowed nervously, as if there was something scary in it, but she still clicked it without hesitation.

"Brother Xuanyao, you promised me that you would take care of me. Didn't we agree to get married this year? It's okay even if you treat me as a substitute for me," Shen Lanxi said with red eyes, tearfully.

"I am married!"

"But you don't love her. If she hadn't gotten pregnant while you were in trouble, you wouldn't have to marry her," Shen Lanxi said bitterly.

"It has already happened, what's the point of talking about it now?"

"Are you really in love with her? What about your sister? Have you forgotten her?" Shen Lanxi looked up and asked.

"I didn't!" Xi Xuanyao's firm answer made Ruan Yin's heart chilled. It turned out that all her efforts these days were in vain. She was still secretly thinking in her heart that he should like her a little bit. Her mind inexplicably thought of his cold and ruthless words when they just got the marriage certificate, and the "Don't go" he whispered in the middle of the night. Yes, she had crossed the line. She raised her head to force the tears back into her eyes. The smile on the corner of her mouth was inexplicably sad. It was so ridiculous. Why did she overestimate her own abilities and think that if she tried hard, Xi Xuanyao might fall in love with her.

I saw myself in the mirror out of the corner of my eye. My belly was slightly protruding, my face was pale, and my eye sockets were dark. My appearance and figure, which used to be pretty good, had changed now. How could I dare to think that Xi Xuanyao would like me?

This is all my own choice. You were the one who fell in love with him first. The one who falls in love first will get hurt. Ruan Yin warned herself that it should be stopped here and forget what he said in the interview. He just needs to establish a good image to the outside world. Don't be so self-indulgent.

In the darkness, Ruan Yin listened to the gentle breathing beside her. The breath that used to make her feel at ease now became unbearable, but she could not avoid it no matter what. She opened her eyes and watched the sunlight climb up the windowsill little by little.

This went on for several nights in a row. She could no longer bear it and moved her things back to the second bedroom. In the middle of the night, Xi Xuanyao returned to the master bedroom after work. The bed was empty. He frowned and saw her sleeping in the second bedroom. He squatted down and looked at her in the dim light. Looking at the dark circles on Ruan Yin's face, he couldn't help wondering if he was busy working too late and disturbed her rest. He tucked in the quilt for her, turned off the light skillfully, and left the second bedroom quietly.

Ruan Yin slept until ten o'clock in the morning, walked into the living room and looked around, feeling a little disappointed. As expected, she was not in the master bedroom and he would not ask about it.

Zhou Cui was stewing soup. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and said with a smile, "Madam, are you awake? Breakfast will be ready soon. Please go sit outside for a while."

After eating a few bites, Ruan Yin had no appetite and put it down. Zhou Cui wanted to say something but stopped. Ruan Yin's appetite had been poor for several days. She was puzzled. Thinking of the hair in the trash can when she cleaned the room in the morning, her heart was pounding. Looking at Ruan Yin who was not in good spirits, Zhou Cui, who was afraid of being held accountable, could not help but say to Xi Xuanyao, "Master, the young lady's appetite has not been very good recently. She eats very little and doesn't like to talk. She always stares at the TV in a daze. Her hair is falling out in clumps. It stands to reason that if she is well-nourished, she will not lose her hair. I really don't know what to do. Why don't you come back to see her?"

The project was in the intense negotiation period, and Xi Xuanyao did not dare to relax for a moment. He stayed in the company these days. When he heard what Zhou Cui said on the phone, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He said a few words to Lu Xing and hurried home.

"Yinyin?" Xi Xuanyao couldn't believe it. How come she looked so much thinner and not in good spirits after just a few days' absence? No wonder Aunt Zhou sounded so panicked on the phone.

After a long while, Ruan Yin realized that someone was calling her. She looked up at Xi Xuanyao and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Xi Xuanyao suppressed his anxiety and said gently: "Your plaster can be removed. I will take you to the hospital."

While the nurse was removing the plaster from Ruan Yin, Xi Xuanyao went to see Gu Cheng and quickly described Ruan Yin's symptoms. The aura around him became increasingly cold, almost suffocating Gu Cheng.

"What happened to her? She was fine before." Xi Xuanyao's eyes flashed with darkness for a moment.

Gu Cheng thought for a while, and said carefully: "Mr. Xi, this is probably a mental illness. Why don't you take your wife to see a psychologist?" Before he finished the word "doctor", Xi Xuanyao's sharp eyes stopped him from saying the second half of the sentence. Then he continued: "Or take her out to relax and find something for her to do. If someone stays at home all day, a healthy person will get sick, not to mention a pregnant woman."

"Is she suffering from prenatal depression?" Xi Xuanyao asked Gu Cheng with a frighteningly cold look in his eyes.

Gu Cheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and under the light, it was amazingly bright. "Not necessarily. Maybe she is just in a bad mood and can't think straight. You should communicate more with your wife, take her out for a walk, get closer to nature, untie the knot in her heart, and she will naturally feel better."

Xi Xuanyao's bony hands tapped on the table again and again, as if he was making a decision. Then he stood up and said, "Don't tell anyone else what I asked you today."

"Yes, Mr. Xi." Looking at Xi Xuanyao's receding figure, Gu Cheng slowly exhaled and prayed in his heart that his wife could give birth to the child smoothly, otherwise he would be very worried.
