208 Are You Prepared? (1/2)

Yan Rusheng halted his footsteps for a moment when he heard Wen Xuxu. He balled his hands into fists before he turned around to look at her. He replied, ”Wen Xuxu, I'm simply giving you time to adjust to your new life and for you to recover your health. I don't intend to sleep in separate rooms for long.”

His lips curved with a faint cynical smile. ”Or are you trying to remind me... that you're ready to make a baby with me?”

A tinge of mischief was mingled in his tone.

Xuxu's face blushed red immediately, and the redness spread down to her neck. She bent her head nervously and stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth, chewing it vigorously to hide her awkwardness.

As Yan Rusheng watched her, his heart involuntarily softened.

”That's our room.”

His declaration was a significant and sobering reminder to her. He marched out of the dining room with big strides.

Xuxu raised her head in time to catch a glimpse of Yan Rusheng as he turned around a corner. Her face was still crimson as she frowned.

Aunt Zhang spoke up again, ”Miss, you should eat more. The more chubby and plumper you are, the better.”

The old servant heard Yan Rusheng saying 'make a baby' earlier, and she was overjoyed. Her grief had turned into happiness in a split second.

She hurriedly scooped more rice into Xuxu's bowl.

Xuxu was speechless. ”...”

After dinner, Xuxu entered Grandmother's bedroom as usual. There was a familiar smell of ointment that still lingered inside.

Every time she took in this scent, she felt a stinging sensation at the tip of her nose.

Grandmother's belongings were either packed or thrown away. Only two photos still remained on the headboard. One was a picture of Yan Rusheng and Xuxu when they were kids, the other was a graduation photo taken when she got her Masters.
