Xie Heng waited for her breathing to stabilize before taking a shower. After that, instead of going back to bed to rest, he called the doctor.
Ask him about the stretch marks.
The two talked for a long time before Xie Heng hung up the phone.
He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the little woman sleeping soundly on the bed through the dim light on the bedside.
His fingers gently stroked her cheek.
Then his fingers landed on her bulging belly.
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger now. Lying flat is uncomfortable, and her belly feels obvious when she lies on her side. She needs a special pillow around her waist to maintain her body's balance.
She loves beauty and measures her weight and waist circumference every day when she gets up.
Her waist is still very thin, and her bulging belly inevitably looks a bit too big.
But Xie Heng asked the doctor and found that the bulge in her belly was within the normal range. It was just because her waist was thin that it made her belly look bigger.
In the middle of the night, Su Su groaned twice and her legs cramped again.
Xie Heng, who was sitting not far away, heard the sound and walked over to her. He pressed his big palms on her calves, applied essential oil on them, and massaged her slowly.
After the cramps subsided, she fell asleep peacefully again.
Xie Heng gently lifted up her nightgown, looked at her swollen belly, and carefully re-applied essential oil on her.
That night, essential oil was applied to her belly every two hours on average.
When it was dawn, Xie Heng looked at her still white and smooth belly and breathed a sigh of relief.
No more stretch marks.
Only then did he feel at ease and go outside to wash up.
After Ms. Su slept until eight o'clock, she got up on time. Her first reaction was to look in the mirror.
I searched my belly carefully, and when I didn't find the second stretch mark, I hummed a tune happily.
"My wife is in a good mood today."
The servant looked at Mrs. Xie who was happily going downstairs and asked with a smile.
Su Su happily shared with her, "I don't have many stretch marks on my belly."
She is like a child, her tone is delicate and naive, and she is too cute to be ridiculous.
The servant was sincerely happy to see her like this, "My wife is naturally beautiful. Even if she is pregnant, she will become more and more beautiful. She will definitely not grow longer."
Su Su raised her eyebrows and became even more happy, and happily went downstairs to find Xie Heng.
Xie Heng, who was watering her flowers, heard the little girl's footsteps, turned his head slightly, and was approached by her, who kissed her several times.
Happiness is probably really contagious, otherwise why would the smile slowly transfer from her face to his.
"Thank you, Uncle." She said with a smile, "I don't have any more lines."
Xie Heng's lips curled up: "Well, that's a good thing."
Su Su tilted her head and looked at him: "I think it won't grow again."
Xie Heng echoed her: "Well, it won't last long."
He watered the flowers, and Su Su hugged him from behind: "I love you so much, Uncle Xie."
Xie Heng's smile widened, "Well, I love you the most too."
Su Su: "Why is it your favorite? Do you have anyone else you don't love the most?"
Xie Heng pointed at her belly: "The next best thing."
Su Su smiled sweetly and kissed him again.
The servant came to remind them that breakfast was ready.
At the dinner table, Su Su had a good appetite and ate two more steamed dumplings.
Xie Kun walked over slowly, glanced at Su Su first, and then said to Xie Heng: "Uncle, the second uncle's sentence has been handed down."
Xie Heng didn't even raise his eyes: "Yeah."
Xie Kun: "No time limit."
Xie Heng was not surprised by this verdict.
Xie Kun continued: "In addition, seven people from the Xie family branch have been sentenced. The news has been suppressed and will not be spread."
Xie Heng: "Well done."
Xie Kun smiled: "I've been busy with a lot of things recently. I want to go out and relax. The rest..."
Xie Heng then looked at him: "Akun, it's a good thing for a good man to have ambitions in all directions. If he gets tired of staying at home, the voices in Europe just happen to lack a person in charge."
Xie Kun paused slightly, "Europe...the affairs there have always been directly managed by the successive heads of the family."
Xie Heng: "Between you and me, there is no need to stick to this."
This is supreme trust.
Xie Kun understood what Xie Heng meant, "Thank you very much, uncle."
Xie Heng: "Sit down and have something to eat. Let me know in advance when you want to leave. Your aunt and I will practice it for you."
Su Su nodded: "Yeah."
Xie Kun smiled with relief, "In that case, thank you uncle and... aunt."
Su Su invited him to eat: "Try this steamed dumpling, it's delicious."
Xie Kun took a bite and found that it tasted really good.
Su Su asked him to taste the wontons next to him.
Every one of them was her favorite, so she let him try them all.
Xie Heng took a look, but the jealous man didn't say anything.
The moment Xie Kun shouted "Auntie", everything was settled and there was no other possibility.
Xie Kun had a full breakfast.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t eat it, I don’t know how long I would have been spoon-fed by Su Su.
