Xiao Xiao was halfway through her sleep when she felt someone shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes and looked at Ji Chensi who was hugging her with exhaustion.
"Xiaoxiao?" Ji Chensi looked at her deeply, "What nightmare did you have? Why are you screaming?"
Xiao Xiao looked down and realized that she was soaked with sweat. She looked at Ji Chensi weakly, pushed him away and sat up. "Why are you here?"
"Don't you welcome me?" He looked at her with a gentle smile.
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll go take a shower first."
I just woke up and I'm covered in sweat and feel sticky and very uncomfortable.
Ji Chensi didn't stop her and nodded, "Go ahead."
Xiao Xiao took her pajamas and went in to take a shower.
The sound of water is rushing.
Ji Chensi went to the living room, took out his ultra-thin notebook, and sat on the sofa to surf the Internet.
After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Xiao Xiao walked out wearing a lace suspender dress and with wet hair.
The hair dryer was not in the room, so she went to the living room to look for it.
Ji Chensi, who was lying on the sofa, was connecting to the Internet with Lan Fuchu from the hospital. Su Yi was still waiting for delivery and there was no movement in her stomach. Fang Jiayi was examining her in the ward, and Mu Ziyin did not leave either, but stayed by her side to talk.
Seeing the hustle and bustle over there, Ji Chensi felt much more cheerful.
Xiao Xiao found the hair dryer under the coffee table and glanced at the screen of his video. Seeing that it was Su Yi on the other side, Xiao Xiao asked, "Xiao Yi, how are you? Is the baby going to start?"
When Ji Chensi heard her talking, he turned his head and looked at her, but his brows were furrowed and he looked a little serious.
In the video, Mu Ziyin shouted, "It's my second sister-in-law."
At this time, Su Yi also came over and said helplessly, "Yeah, it hasn't started yet. I'm so anxious waiting for it. I don't know when it will come out."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry. One more day in the belly is equivalent to seven days in the outside world. This is better for the baby."
"But I can't stand it anymore. More than ten hours have passed and there is still no movement."
"It's normal. It doesn't mean the baby will be born immediately after the water breaks. Some babies may not be born for several days."
"Don't curse me."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, "This is not a curse, it's to comfort you, don't be so anxious, the child will come out naturally if she wants to."
Su Yi had a sad face, "Well, we can only wait."
"Second sister-in-law! Look at me, look at me!" Mu Ziyin squeezed his face in front of the video.
Xiao Xiao greeted with a smile, "Hello, youngest, long time no see."
"How can it be so long? I just saw you in court today. Sister-in-law, did you just take a shower? Why are you wearing such clothes?"
"Why is this dress..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled away by Ji Chensi, and then the screen was covered and the video was cut off.
"Who told you to suddenly lie down in front of the video and talk?" Ji Chensi scolded her, without a trace of warmth on his face.
Xiao Xiao was stunned and said, "I saw Xiao Yi here, so I wanted to ask her when she would start."
After she finished speaking, Ji Chensi's expression was still cold, and his gloomy eyes looked at her without moving away for a moment.
Xiao Xiao suddenly saw some danger in his gaze.
He muttered quietly, “Okay, I’m sorry if I offended you, I’ll go back to my room and find Xiaoyi’s video by myself.”
As he said that, he took the hair dryer and left.
Ji Chensi suddenly raised his hand, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
His strength was so great that she was caught off guard and fell into his arms, sitting on his lap.

At the hospital.
Mu Ziyin said puzzledly: "Oh, that's strange, why didn't my second brother answer the video?"
"I think you should just not call it." Su Yi's stomach was still quiet, and his face looked intriguing.
"Why? Didn't the video just now get cut off for no reason?"
"Whether it was disconnected for no reason or someone hung up, it remains to be investigated." Su Yi said, and stretched out his hand to the side, which was immediately held by Lan Fuchu. She smiled and leaned against his shoulder, "Hubby, how come your baby is so calm? It's been so long and he hasn't come out yet."
"Like you, naughty."
"It's more like you, so quiet."
"Hey! Do you two think I'm dead? I'm still here!" Mu Ziyin couldn't help but roar.
Su Yi pretended not to hear and said to Lan Fuchu: "Hubby, I want to drink some water."
"I'll pour it for you."
Mu Ziyin: “…”
No one cares about him as a single guy! He pursed his lips and looked at Fang Jiayi with an especially sinister look.
Fang Jiayi felt his gaze, but pretended not to notice it. After checking the fetal monitor, she said to Su Yi, "It's okay, the baby is healthy. You should rest. The labor may start in the middle of the night. You need to rest well so that you can retain your energy for the birth of the baby."
"Okay." Su Yi responded.
Fang Jiayi went out.
Mu Ziyan chased after him, looking hesitant.
Su Yi looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, raised his lips and smiled, "That's good, they are a couple now."

Xiao Xiao was held by Ji Chensi, feeling a little uncomfortable, "What are you doing? Let me go."
"Did I not behave well in court today? Why are you looking at me coldly again when we are here?"
"Don't forget, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend now."
"Why not? I announced in public today that I'm going to marry you. Can I deceive the public about this?" He came closer and used his tall figure to surround her.
Xiao Xiao was held in his arms, with his chest behind her, and he was groping her back through her clothes.
Xiao Xiao frowned, "What does it matter? After a while, the heat of the incident will die down and no one will care about it anymore."
"My mother agreed."
"Let go of... What? What did you just say?"
Ji Chensi smiled and kissed her back, "My mother agrees that we can be together."
Xiao Xiao was confused, "How is that possible?"
A few days ago, the old general came to ask her to leave here and go abroad
Ji Chensi smiled and said, "Because I told them that you are pregnant with your second child."
Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and said speechlessly: "I'm not pregnant! If they find out later, they will say that I'm scheming."
"If you work hard, you will get it, right?"
"That won't happen overnight."
Ji Chensi glanced at her, her beautiful face in his eyes, "It's okay, as long as we get married, they won't object anymore."
"I didn't want to lie to them."
Ji Chensi hugged her tightly, his face gloomy, "So you want to leave me?"
"I..." Xiao Xiao couldn't answer. That was what she originally thought, but after what happened in court today, she was grateful to him and couldn't say those cruel words.
"You said before that you broke up with me because your family was not good, but now it has been proven that they are not your family at all. What else do you have to worry about?"
Xiao Xiao didn't struggle after hearing this, but her mood was obviously depressed. She let her hair down and said in a low voice: "I..."
"You still want to break up with me?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't answer.
Ji Chensi let her go.
The strong male hormones dissipated instantly, and Ji Chensi said: "Okay, if you really want to break up with me, then tell me now and let me go."
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
Ji Chensi continued, "If you tell me, I will never bother you again."
Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
Ji Chensi's eyes were dark and fierce.
His words made her feel a heavy pain in her heart. Although she had promised the old general, she was still unwilling to let go, especially when she thought of his kindness and dedication to her. With him around, it seemed as if all the difficulties were not difficult. She would feel satisfied, warm and at ease. If he was not around, she would feel as if there was a void in her heart, and no matter what she did, she would feel regretful.
"Tell me, if you really hate me so much and want to break up with me, then just tell me to leave in person."
Xiao Xiao looked at him, and unknowingly, a circle of red appeared in her eyes.
Seeing her sad expression, Ji Chensi suddenly regretted what he had said just now. He hugged her in his arms and pressed his thin and hot lips against her trembling lips.
As their lips met, her heartbeat became completely disordered, as if she was bewildered. She thought to herself, I don’t want to deceive myself anymore. I clearly love him deeply, but I have to pretend that I don’t care at all. She can’t do it...
"Look, you can't say those words to me at all, and you even said you wanted to break up with me..." Ji Chensi kissed her ear, sucked it gently, and said, "Tell me, why do you want to break up?"
"It's the old general..." Xiao Xiao whispered, looking sad, "The old general is a good man, I don't want to see you turn against each other."
"No, Grandpa loves Ji Ling so much, he won't let him become a single-parent child." He whispered softly, holding her face. Facing her tears, he suddenly felt very distressed and kissed them away carefully. "I said I would make them all agree that you and I should be together, and I will definitely do it. Do you believe me?"
As if she was powerless to resist, her eyelashes trembled and she said, "Okay..."
