After attending Nan Zhi and Mu Sihans wedding banquet, Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran drove back to their mansion.

Once Xia Yanran was found to be pregnant, she started to reside in the Capital. Her morning sickness was rather serious. When it first started, she vomited out everything she ate.

This month, it had finally gotten a little better. However, her appetite was still weak. That was why she was even more slim than before she was pregnant.

After Xia Yanran fell pregnant, Xiao Yi had completely quit smoking and drinking. Even today, he didnt drink.

Xiao Yi drove personally, while Xia Yanran was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Xia Yanran hadnt eaten much during the dinner banquet. As Xiao Yi drove, he caressed her head. Is there anything you want to eat? Ill go buy it for you.

Xia Yanran stared at the man with warm and gentle eyes, a smile on his lips. I want to eat the pastries from Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was a little far, and they needed to drive for about thirty minutes to reach the place. However, Xiao Yi wasnt impatient at all. Ill send you back to the mansion first, then I go to Zhou Ji to buy them for you?

Ill sleep for a while in the car!

Alright, take a nap. Ill wake you up when we reach.

After a long and happy busy day, Xia Yanran was indeed tired. She pushed the chair down and closed her eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, she woke up in a daze after hearing that someone was calling her.

Ive bought the Zhou Ji pastries.

Xia Yanran rubbed her eyes, sitting up as Xiao Yi fed her the pastries. Seeing that she wasnt eating it, Xiao Yi narrowed his depthless eyes slightly. You dont want them anymore?

Xia Yanran looked up at him. Why do you know me so well? I made you come all the way here, but I dont want them anymore. Will it

Before she finished, he leaned down to peck her lips.

Its alright. Ill eat it later. Is there anything you want to eat now?

Xia Yanran looked out of the car and saw someone selling pineapples. I want to eat that.

Okay.

Xiao Yi got off and bought a piece of pineapple for her very quickly. Xia Yanran felt extremely happy. Xiao Yi, youre so good to me.

Fool, if Im not good to you, who should I be good to?

He drove them back to the mansion, with Xia Yanran falling asleep once more on the journey back. When she woke up again, she found herself sleeping on their bed already.

The bathroom door opened and Xiao Yi walked out in his home clothes. Seeing Xia Yanran sit up on the bed, he smiled. Youre awake? I got the bath ready for you. Let me carry you over?

Xia Yanran did not shy away, opening her arms to let him carry her.

Why did you get lighter after becoming pregnant?

She pressed her face against his broad shoulders as she stared at his well-defined handsome face. Ill probably gain weight in the latter half of my pregnancy. You cannot despise me for being fat then!

Ill like you no matter what you look like.

You will only like me? She pouted. After she got pregnant, she started to whine even more to him.

What was there to say? He was the cause of her becoming like this.

Its love. He bumped her forehead with his. You know that Im not good at speaking sweetly.

No wonder you rarely tell me you love me.

Isnt it better to show my feelings through actions than my words?

You have to be so good to me for the rest of our lives.

Hm, Ill be good to you not only in this life, but in our next and following lives as well.

Xia Yanrans heart felt sweet like honey.

Xiao Yi, do you know youre very naughty?

Hm?

You made it harder and harder for me to leave you.

Then dont leave me.

Xia Yanran looked up at him, unable to resist the urge to hug his neck, pressing her lips against his.

Cen Xi had that dream again.

She startled awake, opening her eyes to look at the dark starry sky outside. She touched the scabbed wound on her earlobe, panting out loud.

She felt that she had been possessed.

That man was dangerous, domineering and unreasonable Although he saved her before, he was still bad enough. Why was she always thinking of him?!

Did she have sadistic tendencies?

However, that man probably couldnt torture her either. He couldnt seem to get aroused at all.

Cen Xi caressed her long hair. It was only four in the morning, so she turned around and forced herself to continue sleeping.

The phone she placed under her pillow vibrated.

Cen Xi took out her phone, glancing at it. Someone had sent her a message. [Lets meet at the old place.]

Cen Xi changed into an exercise outfit earlier in the morning, before she jogged to a cooling hut at the park. It was still early, so there were barely anyone in the park.

Uncle Bai, its been a long time.

The person who asked Cen Xi to meet was called Bai Wei. When Cen Xis adoptive parents were still alive, she would see him often.

Cen Xis father was a master at the crossbow. Whenever Bai Wei got into trouble, he would get her adoptive father to help.

Xiao Xi, I know you stopped touching a crossbow after your father passed away. However, this time, you really have to help Uncle Bai! Bai Wei quietly told Cen Xi about the mission.

Cen Xis eyes constricted slightly. Uncle Bai, I dont shoot good people.

Youve misunderstood. The target proposed it himself. He had originally gotten the trust of the head of an organization. However, something happened a while ago that caused the head to suspect him. That was why hes put in a bad spot. Your father was the best at crossbows and I remember he said before that you were even more talented than him, and that you never made even a 0.1-centimeter mistake.

If this incident cannot make the head stop suspecting him and trust him completely, his hard work over the past two years might have gone to waste.

But, Uncle Bai, its been a few years since I touched a crossbow

There are still three days before the mission. You can work hard to practice and get yourself familiarized again.

Uncle Bai, can you show me that persons photo?

Bai Wei took out a photo, Cen Xis eyes constricting immediately the moment she saw who the person was.

It was Qiao Sen!
