Yun Bilu guffawed at the side . She had no idea that the topic that she just brought up caused waves in the hearts of the two persons involved .
Yun Bixue lowered her head and stared at her stomach . Her gaze was gentle . In the past, she was contented with letting nature take its course . Now, she suddenly looked forward to having children . She would provide a family that was brimming with love and happiness for her child .
The look on Xie Limo’s face was vague and difficult to interpret . He seemed to be sighing and had a lot on his mind .
Yun Bixue raised her head and looked at Xie Limo . When she saw the gloomy look in his eyes, there was a slight stir in her heart . She felt rather uneasy and anxious . Could it be that he didn’t look forward to it?
Xie Limo noticed Yun Bixue’s gaze and pulled her over . Tidying up her head, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yun Bixue turned her head around and looked at everyone . All of them were fixated on the firecrackers . She lowered her head and whispered, “Limo, are you unhappy?”
Xie Limo kissed Yun Bixue on her forehead, as though no one was around them . The contact was gentle and light . He softly replied, “This year is the happiest year I’ve ever had . Do you think I’m still unhappy? Mother and Father are here too . Everyone is gathered here, and it is a day of reunion . I’m definitely extremely happy . ”
In reality, Yun Bixue wanted to ask if he is looking forward to having a child . However, after some hesitation, she couldn’t bring herself to ask the question .
She had been willful yesterday and threw a tantrum . She shouldn’t let her imagination run wild again . She knew that Xie Limo’s kindness towards her was not an act . Moreover, Father and Mother treated her very well . She ought to be grateful and contented .
One should not be too greedy . Therefore, she would let nature take its course . In addition, the two of them had yet to hold a wedding ceremony . To a household like the Xie family, it would probably cause a lot of trouble if she got pregnant before the ceremony .
After consoling herself, Yun Bixue got over it . Her expression brightened, like the clearing skies after raining .
Xie Limo definitely noticed the change in Yun Bixue’s mood at that moment . He merely sighed quietly, and tightly embraced her . It seemed as though he wanted to continue hugging her and never let go .
After spending more than two hours lighting up the firecrackers and fireworks, everyone excitedly returned inside the house to watch the TV again . After midnight, they went to bed one by one .
In the bedroom, Yun Bixue gathered a new set of cash . She then began to stuff them into a red packet .
Xie Limo walked over to her side . Amused by her, he asked, “Do you also need to give out red packets too?”
“Yes . I have to prepare a red packet for my younger sister every year . When I was young, I didn’t have money and only accumulated several dollars . After I grew older, it became tens of dollars . Afterwards, it became a hundred dollars . ” While Yun Bixue prepared the red packet, her face revealed a sweet look as she reminisced the past . “Now that I’m capable, I will give her a more hefty sum . ”
Xie Limo’s heart started to throb faintly . A few dollars? He wondered how she managed to survive back then .
“Didn’t Grandfather give you allowance in the past too?”
“Grandfather was very kind to us, but Old Lady Shen would use all sorts of reasons to seize our money . We informed Grandfather the first time it happened, and Grandfather and Old Lady Shen squabbled and fought . He was so angry that he got hospitalized once . After that, we never told Grandfather anymore when such things happened . To earn money, I helped my schoolmates complete their homework in exchange for a few cents . They would add up to a few dollars… I felt really proud to have earned money by myself . ”
As Xie Limo listened, his heart ached so much that it felt as though it was being twisted . He embraced Yun Bixue from the back, wanting to dispel all the coldness she had felt .
From his knowledge, children of royal families were all pampered . He never knew his wife had suffered so much hardships . As he mulled over it, a cold glint flashed across his eyes . Perhaps he had been too benevolent towards those people from the Yun family .
