The night was dark, and the woman on the soft bed seemed to be troubled by a nightmare. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and small crystal beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her hands were clenched into fists, as if she was very nervous.
Waking up from a nightmare, her movements disturbed Ye Yisheng beside her.
He opened his hazy eyes and looked at her pale face, and reached out to hug her, but Qingtian shrank back and said, "No..."
She seemed to have not yet woken up from her dream. In her dream, she saw someone pressing her down so ruthlessly and fiercely...
"sunny?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing her resisting him so much and reacting so strongly, Ye Yisheng couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. He approached her and held her shoulders, "It's me, did you see it?"
She gradually regained consciousness, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, letting him hold her, his big hands on her shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Have you had another nightmare?"
Qingtian nodded but was unwilling to speak for a long time. In the past, she couldn't see clearly who the man was in nightmares, but when she learned that it was him that night, the dream suddenly repeated itself, which inevitably frightened her.
She lay on his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. After a long time, she asked, "Yisheng."
"Um?"
"Have you seen me before?" She looked up at him, but felt that her question was not well asked, so she changed her words, "I mean, after saving you that time, have you seen me?"
Ye Yisheng frowned, "Why do you ask like that?"
She lowered her head, not daring to look at his sharp eyes, fearing that her thoughts would be seen through, "It's nothing, I just asked casually."
He thought for a while and said, "No."
Indeed, she had never seen her before. Since she saved him that time, the first time he saw her was at a blind date dinner.
That time he didn't pay much attention to what she looked like. Maybe Xueer had already created a vicious image in his heart at that time, so he didn't care what she would look like.
The first time he took a serious look at her facial features was at the wedding. He had to admit that her facial features would be better than those of many celebrities with just a little makeup.
Hearing this answer, Qingtian became more determined in what she was thinking, but she was confused about what kind of mistake it was.
He held her in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and asked softly, "It's only four o'clock now, can you sleep a little longer?"
Qingtian shook his head, "You go to sleep, I don't want to sleep."
He looked down at her and gently stroked her cheek with his hand, "Then let's sit and chat together, and I'll accompany you."
"But don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
"I can hold on."
Hearing this, Qingtian smiled and lay on his chest, "Yisheng, can you tell me about your childhood?"
That night, he held her in his arms and chatted until dawn. When it was dark, she lay on his chest and fell asleep. He called her several times and saw that she didn't respond, so he gently laid her flat on the bed and covered her with it.
Good quilt.
When Qingtian woke up, Ye Yisheng had already left.
She suddenly felt a little empty in her heart. The feeling was vague and uncertain, which made her feel unsettled. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Ye Yisheng's mobile phone, but there was no answer for a long time.
She sent a text message: Waiting for you to come back for dinner tonight.
With a hint of sweetness in her heart, Xia Qingtian got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. However, as soon as she left the door, she saw her mother standing at the door, as if she was about to knock on the door.
Qingtian was stunned for a moment, "Mom?"
"It's sunny."
Xia's mother's face looked slightly pale, as if she had become more haggard in an instant. When she saw Qingtian, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she held Qingtian's hand tightly, "Qingtian, Mom, please give Yi Sheng to your sister, okay?"
"Mom!!" Qingtian couldn't believe what her mother said when she spoke.
Mother Xia's tears fell down, "I don't know what's going on with your sister these days. She's been making noises at home about committing suicide. I know she's feeling uncomfortable seeing you and Ye Yisheng together. Mom really doesn't want to see her acting stupid.
It’s okay, Qingtian, can you understand mom?”
Qingtian took a few steps back, her heart falling to the bottom, and she raised a bitter arc, "I can understand your mentality as a mother, but, Mom, I will not let Yi Sheng out."
For myself, and for the sake of my unborn children...
She can't compromise and back down so easily.
Hearing this, Xia's mother's expression immediately changed, "Qingtian, what do you mean by saying this? You clearly know that Xue'er and Ye Yisheng are about to get married, and you still want to be with him. Isn't this forcing your sister to
Is it a dead end? Do you want to watch your sister do stupid things? "
Having said this, Xia's mother became a little excited, "Our Xia family has been kind to you by raising you so big. Even if you don't repay the kindness, you can't force mom's only child to die."
Qingtian's heart felt sour. She had always thought that her mother had never regarded her as an outsider. In fact, that was not necessarily the case. She just didn't show it until it harmed each other's interests. In the Xia family, she was completely an outsider.
No matter how ignorant Xueer is and how many wrong things she has done, they can forgive her.
But she can't...
She must sacrifice herself for her sister's happiness.
Now that she knows that the father of her child is Ye Yisheng, she will not compromise, because she is also a mother, and she does not want to see her baby without a father.
And she believed what Ye Yisheng said, that he would find out whether the child in Xueer's belly was his.
Qingtian held back the tears in her eyes, "Mom, I'm sorry, if you want me to use my own happiness to repay your kindness, I can't do it."
