Due to the delay on the road and eating a little meal outside, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening by the time the two of them got home.
After Li Ci went into the bathroom of the bedroom to take a shower, Lin Zhixia sat on the sofa in the living room with a serious expression. Finally, she couldn't hold it back and took out her mobile phone to dial Yang Ruo'an.
But when the call was connected and Yang Ruo'an's charming voice came from the receiver, she didn't know how to speak for a moment and was in a daze.
"Zhixia, are you listening?"
Looking at the phone that was still connected but silent, Yang Ruoan softly called Lin Zhixia's name several times in a row.
Lin Zhixia finally came to her senses and hurriedly said: "How are you lately? Are you okay?"
"pretty good."
Lin Zhixia could tell that Yang Ruoan was in a good mood at the moment, and she asked casually, "Is Tan Jie Company busy recently?"
"It's okay. It's just that he recently went to Lancheng for a few days on business and just came back tonight." After Yang Ruo'an finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and continued in an excited tone: "He went there this time. Although the place is not far away, he brought me a gift when he came back."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, and it's very expensive. I just checked it secretly and it costs a lot of money."
Lin Zhixia's heart suddenly became cold. Thinking of the scene she saw in the evening, she wanted to blurt out the words but couldn't.
Yang Ruo'an is still pregnant. Unlike in the past, her emotions cannot fluctuate too much. Lin Zhixia thought that it would be better to tell her later, at least to clarify the whole thing. Maybe it is like what Li Ci said, between them. There really is some misunderstanding.
Lin Zhixia was afraid that her meaning would be too obvious, so she tried to keep her tone as natural as possible, "How is the baby doing lately?"
"It's pretty good, but I'm slowly starting to react now, and I'm vomiting a little bit violently," Yang Ruo'an said softly as if she transformed into a kind old mother when she mentioned the child.
After hearing what Yang Ruo'an said, Lin Zhixia asked worriedly: "Is it very powerful?"
"not bad."
Perhaps because he didn't want Lin Zhixia to worry too much, Yang Ruo'an spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he felt good about himself.
When she finally hung up the phone, Lin Zhixia still gave a lot of uneasy instructions, like a worried mother.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixia stared out the window for a long time, lost in thought, and didn't even notice Li Ci sitting next to her after taking a shower.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Ci, who was sitting next to Lin Zhixia, wiped his short hair casually with a towel in his hand and asked aloud.
Hearing this, Lin Zhixia turned her head, with a hint of emptiness in her eyes, and murmured: "No, I didn't think about anything."
After she finished speaking, she realized that the man came out wearing only a towel after taking a shower. She suddenly blushed and turned her head back embarrassedly, avoiding his eyes.
"ah……"
Lin Zhixia screamed in surprise. She was hugged by the man and sat directly on his lap. The sudden suspension made her hands tightly grasp his strong arms.
Li Ci raised his hand to smooth down the few strands of Lin Zhixia's hair that were stuck to her cheeks, placed his hands gently on her belly, put his chin on her shoulder, and kissed her ear, "Still thinking about this afternoon. Something?"
While eating, Lin Zhixia asked him why she didn't come out for a long time when she went to the toilet in the service area. It was because she saw an acquaintance, her best friend's husband, and he seemed to be very intimate with the girl next to her.
"I'm just a little worried about Ruo An."
The man's upper body was bare, and Lin Zhixia, who was wearing pajamas, was close to his smooth and powerful muscle lines. She was a little embarrassed for a moment, her eyelids were slightly lowered, and she stared at the ground and whispered.
"Don't overcomplicate things. What you see with your eyes may not be true. Don't you still believe in the character of your best friend's husband?"
Li Ci's broad and somewhat rough palms stroked Lin Zhixia's slender arms again and again, like an older wise man helping her solve her problems.
Hearing this, Lin Zhixia turned her head to meet Li Ci's eyes, and said slowly: "I have watched their feelings all the way. I just didn't know what to do at the moment. I can't pretend that I didn't see anything."
"Maybe there is nothing wrong with her at all. You are just worrying unfoundedly. Don't think of things in the worst possible light. At least you have known each other for such a long time, so you should have trust in each other, right?"
"Oh, I see."
Lin Zhixia nodded and replied softly.
Li Ci's warm hands gently stroked Lin Zhixia's belly in a clockwise circle, then came to her ear and asked softly: "Is your stomach still uncomfortable?"
Lin Zhixia suddenly thought that as soon as the two of them entered the house, the man went into the kitchen and made ginger and brown sugar water for her. He also muttered to her that he had done some online searching while eating and found this. Drinking it while it's hot will relieve menstrual cramps.
But now it was true that her stomach didn't hurt much anymore, and she replied in a low voice, slightly uncomfortable: "No, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Li Ci turned her body around with a backhand, stared straight into Lin Zhixia's eyes, and asked in a serious tone: "Did it always hurt like this before?"
Lin Zhixia's hands touched Li Ci's chest and immediately took them away as if she was burned. Her hands naturally dropped down, pinched the corners of her pajamas, and murmured: "Yeah."
Li Ci frowned slightly and continued: "Mom knows an old Chinese medicine doctor. I will take you to see him."
"No need, just say it will be fine after the baby is born."
Lin Zhixia spoke quite fast, and her voice became lower and lower towards the end, making it almost inaudible.
But Li Ci still heard it, with a hint of smile in his deep voice, "Will it really be better after giving birth?"
Listening to Li Ci's question, Lin Zhixia's face turned red and hot, and she lowered her head shyly, "I, I don't know what Ruoan said."
Li Ci gently squeezed Lin Zhixia's fingers. Thinking of her unusually uncomfortable state in the afternoon, he still felt a little uneasy and said, "I'll take you to see her next time, don't worry."
Lin Zhixia nodded, "I'll give it a chance next time."
Li Ci raised Lin Zhixia's slightly blushing face, placed his lips on her forehead and eyes, and kissed her red softness as if he couldn't help but be tempted.
If you are still away, "I want to kiss you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tip of his warm tongue touched Lin Zhixia's teeth, wrapping around and sucking on the soft piece, invading every corner fiercely and domineeringly.
Lin Zhixia's hands unconsciously grasped his chest tightly for a moment, and she also chased the tip of his tongue with her instinctive reaction.
The two of them kissed passionately for a while. Li Ci unbuttoned her pajamas and rubbed her exposed skin with his rough palms. He seemed to spend all his energy on the rubbing action, which was scorching.
