Previous | Table of Contents | Next

     Bai Yi was really tired. He didn't wake up until Xiao Yiran had cleaned him up and held him in his arms while he lay on the recliner beside the bathtub.

　　"Awake? Wait a moment." Xiao Yiran pulled a blanket over Bai Yi and covered him with it. He had just cleaned Bai Yi's pants and hadn't washed himself yet, so he was ready to finish it quickly.

　　"Yeah." Bai Yi rubbed his eyes and nodded.

　　Watching Xiao Yiran striding back to the bathtub naked, his tall and strong body clearly visible, with some water droplets sliding down his skin on his back, his face couldn't help but feel hot.

　　Bai Yi coughed dryly and thought about saying something to divert his attention. "Are you going to stay in the mansion from now on?"

　　"Well, I have nothing to do these few days. Is there something you want??" Xiao Yiran answered Bai Yi seriously while cleaning quickly.

　　"No..." Bai Yi paused, not knowing what to say, so he asked casually, "By the way, have you ever liked your cousin before?"

　　"Hmm? No." Xiao Yiran stopped what he was doing and looked over. "Who said that?"

　　"Oh... no, I was just asking casually." Bai Yi shook his head.

　　No one had ever said this to him, but he had heard some rumors among the servants, saying that the general and his cousin had loved each other and were even discussing marriage, but this time the general abandoned his cousin for a man of unknown identity, causing his cousin to be depressed all day and stay in the villa and not wanting to go out.

　　Bai Yi naturally would not doubt Xiao Yiran because of these rumors. He asked Yuan'er, and Yuan'er answered him truthfully. There was no rumor of any engagement between Xiao Yiran and Hua Lan before, but before he came, the servants in the general's mansion did think that Hualan was going to marry Xiao Yiran, and Xiao Yiran suddenly brought him back, and many people were very surprised. In addition, Hua Lan was usually introverted and always polite to the servants. He was very popular in the general's mansion over the years, so many servants did not have a good impression of him. Fortunately, the servants in the main courtyard were smart, sensible, loyal and reliable after Xiao Min, so there was basically nothing to worry about.

　　Bai Yi also thought about it. Since there was no engagement, he naturally believed that there was nothing between Xiao Yiran and Hua Lan. However, the shy and timid girl left a good impression on Bai Yi when he first met her. Although the chicken soup incident happened later, Bai Yi probably guessed that it was Aunt Xiao's doing. Therefore, he didn't want Hualan to be hurt because of him, so he asked this question.

　　"Are you jealous?" Xiao Yiran stood up from the bathing pool, slowly walked back to Bai Yi, and looked at Bai Yi silently.

　　"Who... is jealous and talking nonsense!" Bai Yi blushed and glanced at Xiao Yiran.

　　"Aunt wants Lan'er to marry me..." Xiao Yiran looked at Bai Yi and said slowly, "My mother once told me that if I didn't have anyone I loved, marrying Lan'er would make our relationship closer. If I hadn't met you before, it wouldn't matter who I married. Aunt is interested, and I just didn't explicitly refuse."

　　"What about now?" Bai Yi asked softly, lowering his head. What about the person you didn't love before? Marrying him was just a responsibility, so is he considered the person he love?

　　"Of course I will marry you." Xiao Yiran lifted Bai Yi's head, leaned over and kissed him lightly, "Min'er has mentioned this to me. I will arrange a marriage for Lan'er, don't worry. I will only marry you." He was not good at saying sweet words, but this was also his promise to Bai Yi.

　　Bai Yi smiled gently, and he was very satisfied with Xiao Yiran's answer. No matter if this person loves him now or not, he knows that this person has him in his heart. No matter what happened in the past, he will not let go easily. Even if he liked Hualan before, they will have a long time in the future, and he will let him love only him in addition to marrying him.

　　Putting his arms around Xiao Yiran's neck, Bai Yi raised his head and kissed Xiao Yiran back, saying softly, "Well, I believe you."

　　Xiao Yiran's eyes were deep, and for a moment, they were boundless.

　　…

　　When Xiao Yiran and Bai Yi returned to the bedroom, Bai Yi didn't even want to move his fingers. He felt weak all over and his back and waist ached, which was really uncomfortable. What's more, Bai Yi was pregnant with a five-month pregnancy, which made him even more tired. In the end, Xiao Yiran cleaned him up again and carried him back.

　　"I'm sorry." Xiao Yiran said with some regret while gently rubbing Bai Yi's waist. He didn't want to tire Bai Yi any more, but who knew that he couldn't control himself and had s*x with Bai Yi again in the bathtub. Seeing Bai Yi so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist, Xiao Yiran's eyes were full of heartache.

　　Bai Yi glared at Xiao Yiran, rubbed his waist, and sighed softly. In fact, he was willing to do this, so Xiao Yiran couldn't be blamed. However, he really didn't expect Xiao Yiran to have such good physical strength. This time, he was so exhausted that he didn't even want to move. Touching his belly, Bai Yi thought to himself, fortunately the child was cooperative.

　　"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Seeing Bai Yi touching his stomach, Xiao Yiran immediately asked nervously.

　　"I'm okay." Bai Yi shook his head, telling Xiao Yiran not to be nervous. He moved closer to the bed and motioned for Xiao Yiran to lie down on the bed as well. "Sleep well tonight and don't toss and turn."

　　"Okay." Xiao Yiran climbed onto the bed swiftly and hugged Bai Yi. Even though he still had some thoughts, seeing Bai Yi so tired, he was reluctant to move and just continued to massage Bai Yi's waist.

　　Bai Yi closed his eyes and leaned in Xiao Yiran's arms, enjoying his massage. Thinking of the matter about Yun Mozhi that Xiao Yiran had interrupted him before, he asked again, "Mozhi is a month late. Did something happen on the way?"

　　"I don't know." Xiao Yiran frowned and shook his head.

　　"I think his shadow-like guard seems to be missing. You should go see him tomorrow." When they were in Yunxia, ​​Bai Yi felt that Yun Mozhi and his guard named Le Shan had a special relationship. Now that the person suddenly disappeared, and Yun Mozhi also seemed unnatural today, he couldn't help feeling worried.

　　"He's like a fox and can't afford to suffer any harm. You don't have to worry about him." Xiao Yiran replied unhappily.

　　Bai Yi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yiran with amusement. Since Xiao Yiran said so, he didn't say anything more. Everyone has his own circumstances. Perhaps this was a problem between Yun Mozhi and that person, and they needed to solve it themselves.

　　"Go to sleep."

　　"okay."

　　…

　　Perhaps he was really tired. Bai Yi got up late the next day and woke up almost at noon. When he woke up, he had a bout of morning vomit.

　　"Ugh..Cough.. Ugh... Oh..."

　　"How is it? I'll ask Mozhi to take a look at you." Xiao Yiran dragged the basin and looked worriedly at Bai Yi who was vomiting non-stop.

　　"Ugh... cough cough... It's okay, it's normal... cough, it will be better in a while." After finally stopping vomiting, Bai Yi shook his head and said with a faint smile. Generally, when a person is pregnant, the symptoms of morning sickness will gradually improve after four or five months, but men's reactions are a bit delayed during pregnancy, and it will gradually stop after about six or seven months. His morning sickness reaction was indeed a bit stronger, but it was not particularly serious.

　　"What do you want to do today? I'll accompany you." Xiao Yiran put down the basin and rubbed Bai Yi's back lovingly.

　　"Well, it's nothing. It's not convenient for me to go out in this state." Bai Yi leaned against the head of the bed and said softly. He heard the conversation between Xiao Yiran and Yun Mozhi yesterday. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he also knew that Xiao Yiran was confronting the Luo Wang. He was a person who couldn't help at all and could easily become a burden. It was best not to expose him in front of others.

　　"If you want to go out, I'll take you there." Xiao Yiran didn't think of locking up Bai Yi. Although he was worried about Bai Yi's safety, it would be fine if he was with him to go out.

　　"That's not necessary." Bai Yi smiled. He was not that curious about Shengjing, nor did he particularly want to go there. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we call Min'er and your aunt to have dinner together." Since he came to the general's mansion, except for the first day when everyone was present, he only saw Xiao Min more often afterwards. He had never seen Aunt Xiao and Hua Lan because Xiao Min was under her care.

　　"Well... Okay, but you are not allowed to cook." Xiao Yiran thought for a moment. Although he would not marry Hua Lan, they were relatives after all, and it would not be good to be too distant. Besides, Bai Yi had been staying in the house since he came to the general's mansion. If he accompanied him around the mansion, it would help the people in the mansion recognize Bai Yi's identity as soon as possible. Besides, Hua Lan's marriage was also on the agenda.

　　"Yes, General~" Bai Yi smiled and replied to Xiao Yiran, "Then send someone to tell Min'er and Auntie. I'll get up and get ready first."

　　"Yes." Xiao Yiran nodded and arranged for someone to pass on the message.

　　So the general made arrangements on the first day of his leave: eat at home.
