Xia Nuan's sideways eyes stayed on Xicheng's face for a few seconds, then fell on her son. She helped the little guy tuck in the quilt. She stood up and spoke softly.
"He won't wake up soon, let's go down and eat!"
So, the two of them quietly exited the door. Xicheng took a look at Nian Nian on the bed and felt that he was not at ease after all.
"You wait upstairs while I bring the food to the side hall."
There is a small side hall upstairs, not far from the bedroom. If the child makes any movement, both of them can hear it.
"I will go with you."
Xia Nuan also came over and went downstairs with him.
One of them held the plate, the other held the dining table, and together they moved the food to the coffee table in the small hall upstairs.
"Want to drink?" Xicheng asked.
"This..." Xia Nuan originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind, "Drink less, I have an average drinking capacity."
"good."
Xicheng smiled and strode downstairs. He came up with wine and glasses a moment later, poured wine for the two of them, pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her.
The coffee table is narrower than the dining table, and the western food plates of the two people almost touch each other, so the people are naturally closer than they are on the dining table.
Xia Nuan quickly glanced at the man opposite her, and quickly looked away. Her gaze passed over the tableware and stopped at the wine glass. She was still hesitating, but Xicheng opposite had already picked up the glass.
"Xia Nuan, for this cup, I... apologize to you!"
Xia Nuan raised her eyes and saw the man's eyes twinkling under the light. She didn't dare to look more and lowered her eyes again, "I told you not to mention the past things again."
"I don't expect you to forgive me. I'm just sorry. If I don't say it, I will... feel guilty for the rest of my life!" Xicheng raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
When she wanted to dissuade him, he had already finished the drink. She held the cup and finally remained silent, bringing the cup to her mouth and taking a sip.
"Let's eat?"
"kindness!"
Taking the cutlery, Xicheng cut off a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. Xia Nuan also took his cutlery and cut off a piece of meat, but did not eat it.
"He probably won't have any more fever. I'll go back to the hotel in the evening and you can take care of him by yourself... Is that okay?"
"No problem, don't worry!"
"Yes." She responded lightly, put the beef into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and felt that there was something that needed to be warned. She thought about it and held it back.
She has been away for the past few days and he has taken good care of the child. She should trust him.
However, the child is still sick, and it seems inappropriate for her to leave him alone to take care of her.
But... it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to live together in the same room.
After thinking for a while, he raised the cup to his mouth and took a big swallow.
At this time, she can no longer be soft-hearted. She doesn't have much time anymore. She has to learn to let go and must let go.
"I think..." She swallowed the drink in her mouth, "You should find a nanny. After all, you are busy with work..."
Xicheng raised his face and said, "I'm looking for someone. Everyone is on holiday right now, so... there's nothing suitable at the moment."
Xia Nuan nodded.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of him."
She nodded again, picked up the glass and took another sip of wine.
The reluctance in my heart was beyond words, and the fragrant wine also became a little bitter.
…
Finally, she put down the cup.
"I have to go now!"
Xicheng glanced at her barely touched steak, pursed his lips and stood up.
"I send you."
"No, you..."
Xia Nuan wanted to refuse, but the man had already stood up and walked towards the stairs.
