2722 Insecure About Losses And Gains 4 (2/2)
Like a child that had been burnt before and dreaded fire, she became very insecure about her losses and gains, which was different from her strong, usual self.
Di Fuyi was equally touched and sorrowed by the depths of her love that brought about the insecurities. He pinched her nose and asked, ”Can't you feel my presence right now?”
Gu Xijiu took a long sniff and immersed herself completely in his scent. She knew that she was acting way too insecure. However, her insecurities were not something she could control.
Ever since their reunion in the Starry Crescent Land, she had never left his side. She knew that she would panic in his absence. Even when she was sleeping, she had to hold onto his sleeves just to be sure that he was still around.
There was one time when she woke up without him. In a flurry, she quickly went around everywhere looking for him. If he had not returned in time, the entire place would definitely have been ransacked.
Her melancholic sentiments and insecurities perfectly summed up her current emotions. Gu Xijiu knew that it was not her usual self, but she could not help it. She knew that pregnant women would often get emotional and become anxious, so she thought that the fluctuations must be due to her pregnancy.
Di Fuyi was a knowledgeable man, but not when it came to his wife's pregnancy issues, so he believed everything she told him. Therefore, he would take her around wherever he went just to make her feel better. He would also avoid going to places that would trigger her flashes of memory about her unhappy past.
He thought that the richness of spiritual energy in the Biwu Palace would help to calm her mind. To his dismay, things were quite the opposite. He took her to the room and lay her onto the bed and said, ”Sleep. You are tired.”
”You have to stay with me,” she insisted while pulling his sleeve.
”All right, I will be here at all times,” he reassured. He lay down by her side and hugged her. ”Sleep.”
”Will you leave?”
”Of course not. When you wake up, I will still be here.”
With the reassurance, Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and slowly dozed off.
Di Fuyi observed her and noticed that she was not sleeping very well. Soon, her face seemed to be drench in sweats. Her hands were reaching out everywhere for him, so Di Fuyi had to grab her hands in a way that she was familiar with so that she could calm down.
The situation had been ongoing for almost a month now. He started to think if it was really normal. Di Fuyi did not find her over-dependence annoying. In fact, he liked that she needed him. It was the change in her character that he found odd.
Di Fuyi regularly examined her pulse. Everything was fine. After a while, he covered her up in the blanket and went outside. ”Find me a few midwives who are experienced,” he gave an order to Mu Feng, who was there guarding the door.
