Cen Xi did not know what had happened to her.

  Her emotions seemed to come and go as they wished and she had no control over them at all.

  She had not been like this before.

  She seemed to have become more emotional recently.

  Seeing that Cen Xi was agitated, Qiao Yanze pulled her hand and kissed it. “What are you thinking? How can I have another woman outside?”


  He pulled Cen Xi into his arms, his large hand caressing her trembling shoulders. “Zhizhi and Sihan both drank a lot at night. I was the one who helped Zhizhi back. I have a very faint perfume smell on me. Can’t you smell that it’s Zhizhi’s favorite?”


  Cen Xi sniffed Qiao Yanze’s shirt again.

  It was really the type that Zhizhi liked.

  Cen Xi looked up at Qiao Yanze with slightly embarrassed eyes. “I misunderstood you…”


  Qiao Yanze raised his well-defined fingers and brushed the tip of Cen Xi’s nose lightly. “I can’t be happier that you’re worried about me. But why did you feel like vomiting the moment I got close to you?”


  Cen Xi shook her head. “I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been working overtime recently and haven’t paid too much attention to my diet, but my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable.”


  “Shall I take you to the hospital now?”


  Cen Xi leaned into Qiao Yanze’s arms, hugging his thin waist. “It’s alright now.”


  …


  The next day, in the detention center.

  When Qiao Yanze went to work, his expression was a little dark.

  He had drunk last night and wanted to be intimate to his wife, but she had rejected him.

  When he went out in the morning, she did not send him off like usual nor give him a morning kiss.

  Cen Xi did not know what was wrong with her and she lay lazily under the blanket.

  However, she was not stupid. She could vaguely guess the reason for her abnormal behavior last night.

  But she felt that it was impossible.

  She had promised Qiao Yanze that she would have a child in another two years’ time. At that time, he had agreed.

  To be on the safe side, Cen Xi took a day off and went to the hospital.

  …


  After Qiao Yanze arrived at the company, he had a morning meeting but was a little distracted.

  When he left, he had clearly been unhappy. Cen Xi should have seen it, but she had not sent him a single message since that morning.

  Back in the office, Qiao Yanze called Nan Zhi.

  “Zhizhi, have you ever felt nauseous when the King kissed you?”


  “Nauseous?” Nan Zhi froze for a second. “Uncle, are you saying that Xiao Xi is feeling nauseous?”


  Qiao Yanze hummed.

  “It seems like I’m going to have a younger cousin soon.”


  “What?” Qiao Yanze’s pupils constricted slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly, “Zhizhi, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll go back and see Xiao Xi.”


  Qiao Yanze got up and walked out of the office quickly.

  He called Cen Xi as he walked.

  The phone rang but no one answered.

  Qiao Yanze then called Cen Xi’s driver. The driver told Qiao Yanze that Cen Xi did not go to work but had gone to the Royal Hospital.

  Qiao Yanze immediately drove to the Royal Hospital.

  By the time Qiao Yanze arrived at the Royal Hospital, Cen Xi had already finished her checkup.

  She was about to get into the car when a tall figure suddenly rushed over. Before she could see who it was, she was pulled into a broad and warm embrace.

  Then, the man who was carrying her inspected her from head to toe. “Are you done with your checkup? Are you feeling unwell? Is it… is it…”


  After all, he was guilty and it was not easy for him to ask about it.

  Cen Xi looked up at the handsome man in front of her. She grabbed the collar of his shirt with both hands, her eyes red, and her tears fell like pearls.

  It was rare for Qiao Yanze to see her so weak. Even when they fell out with each other, she still held back her emotions.

  Qiao Yanze cupped her face, his rough fingers wiping away her tears. “Don’t cry. Tell me where you’re feeling unwell!”


  His face was slightly pale and there was still cold sweat on his forehead. He looked extremely anxious.

  Seeing that he was really worried and afraid, Cen Xi stopped scaring him. She glared at him with red eyes. “You still have the cheek to ask?”


  The woman who was crying just now suddenly became a tigress.

  This contrast made Qiao Yanze seem to understand something.

  He looked at her deeply. “A-Are you really pregnant?”


  Cen Xi clenched her fist and punched his shoulder.

  “If you want a child, you can tell me. Why did you have to do it behind my back? Don’t you think I should be angry?” The doctor said that she was almost two months pregnant. She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about how she usually wore makeup and high heels, and even had cold drinks at work.

  “Hit me. Hit me hard.” He kissed the top of her head, his voice slightly hoarse. “Tell me, are you pregnant?”


  Cen Xi threw her bag into his arms. “Look at it yourself.”


  Qiao Yanze took out the checkup report from his bag. Seeing that Cen Xi was indeed pregnant, his body froze and his usual calmness seemed to have disappeared. He grinned foolishly.

  After a few minutes, Qiao Yanze finally looked up at Cen Xi.

  Although he had done something bad, he thought that it would not be so easy to get pregnant…


  “Xiao Xi, I’m going to be a father!”


  Qiao Yanze pulled Cen Xi into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to push her deep into his bones.

  …


  Cen Xi had serious morning sickness and would feel nauseous whenever she smelled something slightly fishy.

  Qiao Yanze contacted Xiao Ying and asked her to come and accompany Cen Xi for a while.

  Xiao Ying was overjoyed when she found out that Cen Xi was pregnant. She immediately arranged everything in Country R and rushed over overnight.

  After Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi got married, they had never seen Xiao Ying. Every time Cen Xi missed her sister, she would fly to Country R.

  Xiao Ying was now working in a company’s project department. In order to live like a normal person, she had gotten surgery for the scar on her face. Now, her face looked no different from before she was disfigured.

  Qiao Yanze did not tell Cen Xi that he had invited her sister over. Cen Xi was sunbathing in the yard and was stunned when she saw Xiao Ying suddenly appear.

  “Sister?”


  Xiao Ying was wearing a collared white shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The shirt was cinched at the waist and her long hair was tied into a bun. She looked fresh and youthful, like a university student who had just come out of school.

  Xiao Ying went forward and hugged Cen Xi. “Have you been feeling unwell recently? You’ve lost weight. I’ll cook some appetizing food for you later.”


  Cen Xi rested her chin on Xiao Ying’s slender shoulders. “Sister, why did you suddenly give me such a big surprise?”


  “Your husband called me to come.”


  Cen Xi froze and asked in disbelief, “He asked you to come?”


  Xiao Ying nodded.

  “That’s great. He finally let go of his grudge against you.” Cen Xi said and looked behind Xiao Ying, asking in confusion, “Sister, did you come alone? Where’s Little Cutie?”


  …
