"Sister Ling, please go out first. I want to sleep a little longer. Maybe I can dream about him!" Mingxi moved her body, turned sideways and wanted to fall asleep, but Sister Ling refused.
"Young grandma, if you don't eat anymore, the baby in your belly will be gone. Then, the young master might blame you!" Sister Ling could only bring up Xue Qijing to pressure her.
Sure enough, upon hearing Sister Ling say this, Mingxi immediately sat up from the bed, snatched the bowl from her hand, and took a big gulp. However, the boiling hot soup was spat out as soon as it entered her mouth.
"Miss, this soup is very hot, is it scalding?" Sister Ling patted Mingxi's back in panic, but she lay on the edge of the bed and cried. The hot tears mixed with the soup in her mouth fell on the cold floor.
"Grandma, why are you crying again?" When Sister Ling saw her like this, she regretted that she shouldn't have said such words just now.
Mingxi lay on the edge of the bed, motionless, just staring at the floor quietly. After a long while, she spoke softly: "I'm not crying, I just got scalded!" She was crying, crying for how miserable she was, crying that she really didn't have him and couldn't even find the courage to live.
"Little milk, just cry if you feel uncomfortable. There is still a long time to come!"
Mingxi shook her head. Her days were not long at all. She would go back to accompany him after she gave birth to the child. However, she felt that her days were still very long. Now, every second seemed to her as long as a century...
"Young Madam, Minghan and the four brothers of the Tang family have been waiting outside. Do you want me to ask them to come in and chat with you?" Sister Ling helped Mingxi lie down on the bed, and then asked the maid to change the soiled quilt. She personally used a hot towel to wipe the soup from the corners of Mingxi's mouth and her hands.
"No need!" Ming Xi said lightly.
"Nanny, what do you want to eat tonight? I will make it for you myself!" Sister Ling smiled, "Nanny, even if you really can't eat, you have to think about the baby in your belly. Just because you don't want to eat, it doesn't mean it doesn't want to eat either, right?" Sister Ling coaxed in a low voice.
Mingxi was silent for a moment, then she whispered, "Sister Ling, I want to eat shrimp porridge tonight." She remembered that Xue Qijing had cooked it for her personally.
"Okay, I'll cook for you tonight. You still need to eat something now!" Sister Ling reached out and took another bowl of chicken soup from the maid. She knew that Mingxi would have problems, so she prepared many bowls at the same time.
Mingxi learned her lesson this time. She stopped crying and making a fuss. She just opened her mouth and drank. However, after less than five sips, she finally spit it all out.
"Milk, you vomited everything you ate and drank. You..."
Seeing Sister Ling's anxious look, Mingxi just smiled and said, "Sister Ling, I don't want to drink chicken soup recently. Please change to something else!"
"Young Madam, you take a rest first. I will go and help you prepare it right away!" Sister Ling frowned and left the room with three maids.
Night soon came.
Sister Ling walked into the room with shrimp porridge and bone soup, and saw Mingxi sleeping soundly. It was rare for her to see Mingxi sleeping so peacefully. She turned her head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was only eight o'clock. She would wake up once at nine o'clock.
Sister Ling asked the maid to put the food on the cabinet nearby, and then she led them out of the room carefully. At nine o'clock, she came in again to let her eat.
Xue Qijing took advantage of the night and drove the car to a woods not far from the Xue family's home. Then he walked to the outside of the wall, looked up, and finally swiftly climbed over the wall.
After he landed on the ground steadily, Xue Qijing frowned. He was the owner of this place, but now he had to sneak over the wall to get in. He was really in a bad situation.
There was still a dull pain in his right hand and back, but it did not affect his movements at all. Xue Qijing bypassed the security guard and quickly ran towards the main house.
Arriving at the main house, Xue Qijing went around to the side of the villa. He looked up and saw that the room on the third floor was completely dark. He knew that no one was in the room at this moment, so he climbed to the third floor in less than three minutes with the help of the balcony window.
Gently pushing open the window, he quietly crawled in...
The room was not particularly dark. The faint moonlight coming in from the window enveloped the room, making the whole room appear hazy.
Xue Qijing's toes landed lightly on the floor, without even the sound of a needle tip falling. He slowly stood up from the ground, and his tall figure immediately blocked the moonlight. His shadow, which was stretched long by the moonlight, was cast on the bed. Xue Qijing stood there, staring at the woman who was sleeping very deeply on the bed, with a bitter taste on his lips.
He raised his head and glanced at this room that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. However, when he saw the photos on the wall clearly, his handsome brows were instantly furrowed tightly, and his eyes, which had been restless for a long time, were surging with huge waves.
Xue Qi clenched his fists in shock, and then loosened them. He tiptoed to the wall and looked at the two largest photos in the room. The moment his mouth curled up, his eyes turned red.
The photo of Mingxi running on the beach was reduced in size, and next to it was a photo of him sitting on the beach and watching her running on the beach...
In that photo, he was staring at her with a lazy but scorching gaze, his black flowing hair fluttering in the sea breeze, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in an arc that could not be seen at all if you didn't look closely.
Xue Qi looked at himself in shock and raised the corner of his mouth: "Wife, it seems that I had already fallen in love with you at that time!" He didn't show that kind of look to every woman casually.
He reached out and gently stroked Mingxi's smiling face. Looking at the innocent and satisfied smile on her face, for a moment, he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Wow..." Just as Xue Qi cried out in shock, he suddenly heard Ming Xi's soft cry. He turned around hurriedly, but saw that Ming Xi's eyes were closed, but she was crying.
Xue Qijing quickly walked to Mingxi's side and gently shook her body. Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, his heart was also tightened.
What on earth could have made you so sad even in your dreams? Mingxi, could it be me
Xue Qijing reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then leaned over and kissed her forehead. It seemed that the kiss was not enough, so he kissed her eyes again. It seemed that it was still not enough, so he kissed her nose again... When he finished kissing Mingxi's entire face, he still felt it was not enough...
Mingxi felt something tickling her face, but she didn't dare to open her eyes. She was afraid that if she woke up, he in her dream would disappear again. She had finally dreamed of him.
Xue Qijing stretched out his hand and gently touched Mingxi's cheek, which had already lost weight. He felt distressed. He leaned over and put his face very close to Mingxi's, "Mingxi... wake up... Mingxi..."
Mingxi, who was in a confused dream, was startled when she heard Xue Qijing's voice. She quickly searched in the mist, but there was nothing but white mist in front of her...
"Mingxi..."
"Mingxi..."
Listening to the familiar voices coming into her ears and the familiar smell rushing into her nose, Mingxi frantically searched in the white mist, but she couldn't find it. Finally, she could only sit down on the ground weakly and cry helplessly.
Why, even in my dreams, I can't find you? Why, even a dream is so cruel? I can clearly feel your presence, but I can't find you!
Why, even in my dreams, you don’t want me? Why, in my dreams, you always push me away and leave me
