In the end, Lu Banxia had no choice but to open her mouth. She just wanted to finish eating quickly and let him go back to rest quickly.
Li Yueqi was not as good as she expected. He moved slowly and went back to rest in no hurry. He fed her most of the bowl of porridge and wiped the corners of her mouth carefully with a tissue.
"You, go back and rest quickly." Lu Banxia urged, his voice was hoarse, and his throat hurt as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Aunt Wen, don't talk to her, her throat is uncomfortable." Li Yueqi threw the tissue into the trash can, pressed the corner of the quilt for her, and said warmly: "I'll go back first and see you tomorrow morning."
Lu Banxia wanted to tell him not to come tomorrow and come back after he has rested. Maybe he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and he wouldn't have to run around. But just as she pursed her lips, Li Yueqi's index finger fell on her soft lips,
His expression was slightly fierce: "Don't talk, otherwise if you say a few words, I will kiss you several times tomorrow."
Lu Banxia: "..."
Aunt Wen, who was standing aside, lowered her head to hide her smile.
*****************************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes**************
***************
In the dead of night, Aunt Wen leaned on the sofa and fell asleep with a blanket wrapped around her body.
There was a light on the bed. Maybe he had slept for a long time. Lu Banxia was not sleepy at all at the moment. He was sitting on the bed, reading some news with a tablet in his hand.
Although she is not in her position, she has always paid close attention to the situation in country C and the international situation.
The door of the ward made a slight sound in the silence. Lu Banxia was startled. Who could come so late? He looked up and saw half of Li Yueqi Qingjun's face in the crack of the door.
Seeing that she hadn't rested yet, Li Yueqi frowned subconsciously and walked in, deliberately slowing down so as not to wake up Aunt Wen.
"Why don't you take a rest?" He lowered his voice and reached out to take away her computer.
"Can't sleep." Lu Banxia said three words slowly, looked up at him, and his eyes seemed to say, why did you come here?
Li Yueqi said nothing. The heating in the ward was very strong. He put down the thermos bucket in his hand, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He turned around and walked to the patient's bed to sit down.
"Are you hungry?"
Lu Banxia thought for a while and nodded, feeling a little hungry.
Li Yueqi stood up, got the bowls and chopsticks, and unscrewed the lid of the thermos bucket. The smell of fish came out, and Lu Banxia's eyes flashed with joy. Unexpectedly, he went back and made fish soup.
I remember the first miscarriage. At that time, both of them were so angry that neither of them would bow their heads. He did not come to see her, but secretly made fish soup and had people pretending it was a takeaway. At that time, she thought it was Xing Tian.
of.
Li Yueqi carefully picked out some fish bones, blew on the slightly hot fish soup, then took a piece of fish meat and put it to her lips.
Lu Banxia glanced at him and slowly opened her mouth. The big fish bones were gone, but the small fish bones were still there. She stood up and wanted to vomit into the trash can. Li Yueqi's hand was faster and he stretched it out directly in front of her: "Spit."
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly but she didn't open her mouth.
"Spit in the palm of my hand, it's okay."
Li Yueqi placed the bowl on the small table so that one of his hands was free. At this moment, he placed it on her lips and asked her to spit the fish bones into his palm.
Lu Banxia refused. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "If you want to keep this child, you must listen to me!"
She was slightly startled, but finally opened her mouth and spat the fish bone into his palm. Her cheeks were stained with a trace of red for some unknown reason. She felt embarrassed.
Li Yueqi saw that she was obedient, with a smile on his lips, and fed her another mouthful of fish soup with a spoon.
Lu Banxia put her hand on her belly, but her cool eyes were filled with ripples, and her heart was haunted by inexplicable feelings, entangled endlessly.
Li Yueqi looked attentive and patiently fed her a bowl of fish soup. He also ate most of the fish meat, and the fish bones were spat into his palms. Afterwards, he went to wash the dishes and wash his hands. He was wiping his hands when he came back.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a slight change in her expression.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Banxia raised her head and looked at him with shining eyes: "He (she) is moving."
"Really?" Li Yueqi's eyes lit up and he strode to the side with a slight hesitation: "Can I touch it?"
Lu Banxia bit her lip, took his big palm and placed it on her bulging belly. She could feel the warmth of his palm through the hospital clothes.
Li Yueqi sat down and almost held his breath. He felt that the legendary "fetal movement" just waited for a long time but there was no response. He frowned: "Did you feel it wrong?"
Generally, pregnant women will not feel fetal movement until five months, or four and a half months if earlier. However, her belly is really too small, and it may be an illusion.
Lu Banxia shook her head, "It can't be wrong." She clearly felt the little bean sprouts moving in her belly. It was the first time she felt fetal movement. She was very excited. She couldn't be wrong.
Li Yueqi slowly retracted his hand, and Lu Banxia immediately looked at him and said, "Moving again..."
It's not an illusion, it's really moving.
Li Yueqi once again put his hand on her belly, but there was no movement. He pursed his lips and smiled: "As soon as I touched her, he (she) became quiet."
"Hello, little Douya, I'm Li Yueqi!" He bowed his head and greeted Xiao Douya formally.
Lu Banxia stared at his cold profile, with a pair of eagle eyes under short and thick eyelashes, as deep as a lake, and a faint smile on the thin lips under the high bridge of his nose. He was handsome and charming.
In all these years, she had never looked at his appearance so carefully and thought he looked so good-looking.
"Li Yueqi..." His voice was hoarse, not as cold as before, and he murmured softly.
Li Yueqi looked up at her, with a smile on his face, and interrupted her softly: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
The words that reached his lips were swallowed back silently, and he looked at him slightly pursed his lips and revealed a gentle smile, "What about you?"
"I'm here." He remembered that she held his hand in those two days and never let go.
At that time, he had made up his mind that no matter whose child she was carrying, he would love her as his own!
Lu Banxia knew that it was impossible to persuade him to go back. He went back to buy vegetables and cooked fish soup and delivered it, and he probably didn't get much rest. Although the stubble on his chin was shaved clean, the tiredness between his brows could not be concealed.
She secretly bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, moved her body to make room, and looked at him, her meaning was self-evident.
Li Yueqi looked slightly startled, with a hint of joy and astonishment in his eyes. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to invite him to sleep with her, and he felt indescribable happiness in his heart.
Take off your coat and shoes, lie gently beside her, pull the quilt, and press the corner of the quilt for her.
The illness was not small. Both of them slept on their sides with a distance between them. After the lights went out, her hands quietly grasped the sleeves of his shirt, pinching it on her fingertips as if taking a pill.
Li Yueqi did not stretch out his arms to hold her in his arms. He was vaguely aware that her hands were holding his sleeves, and a silent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth in the darkness. When she breathed evenly and fell into sleep,
He reached out to hold her hand, spread his fingers, and then crossed them, intertwining them like the roots of a tree that were intertwined, tightly intertwined.
****************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes******************
The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning came through the gap in the curtains. Aunt Wen's first reaction when she woke up was to look at Lu Banxia. When she saw the scene on the bed, she couldn't help but smile.
Li Yueqi was lying on the bedside, holding her shoulders with his long arms, sleeping very soundly. Lu Banxia was resting on his arm, and Li Yueqi held her hands exposed outside the quilt tightly, kissing her on the side.
his chest.
These two people are obviously a match made in heaven!
…
Lu Banxia's high fever subsided. The doctor, considering her health, asked her to stay in the hospital for a week for observation. If there were no problems, she could be discharged.
Li Yueqi stayed with her in the ward during the day, and Aunt Wen stayed here to take care of her at night.
The two of them woke up at almost the same time that morning and found each other's intimate posture. No one said anything, they separated in a tacit agreement, and they didn't mention anything in a tacit agreement. When Lu Banxia said that he would let Aunt Wen take care of him in the evening, Li Yueqi did not.
say.
He left the last case midway. Although he won the case, both the partners and the client were very dissatisfied and very angry. The partner simply refused to help him take the case, and he was left alone. He bought a lot of magazines and pregnancy books, magazines
It is for Lu Banxia to read, and the book on pregnancy is for myself to read.
Although he was concentrating on reading, every time Lu Banxia wanted to drink water or go to the toilet, he would immediately hand the water cup to her hand, or carry her directly to the toilet, wait for her to open the door, and then carry her back to the bed.
Lu Banxia felt like she was a sick child after being pregnant. She had to go to the hospital from time to time and was hugged back and forth by him at every turn, as if her legs were disabled.
Li Yueqi actually took the trouble to take care of her carefully, as if it was a matter of course.
In fact, she really felt that he didn't need to do this. After all, they were divorced and he had no responsibility or obligation to do so many things for her.
He did it, and not only did it, but he did it better than before. It was so good that Lu Banxia couldn't even say the word "no" from his throat, as if the word came out and he felt like he was ungrateful!
She didn't say it, but subconsciously she wanted him to stay with her, at least before the child was born, before something happened to her...
There were some things that she wanted to say to him several times, and she also wanted to talk to him about the past, but every time there was either an accident or he interrupted her, it seemed that she was destined not to say it.
The longer time goes by, the better Li Yueqi treats her. Those words are like a sharp knife cutting into her heart. The pain is endless and there is nothing she can do!
For the first time, she felt confused about the "future". Whether her child could survive was unknown, and whether she could survive was also unknown. If she faced such a situation by herself, she would have nothing to fear, but with Li Yueqi here
Around her, she began to be considerate, hesitant, and wavering.
If this child is born, I wonder if it will bring a glimmer of hope between them?!
The afternoon sun was just right and Lu Banxia was drowsy. Li Yueqi peeled an apple, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate for her convenience.
"Eat some fruit and go to sleep."
Lu Banxia did not refuse. She ate a few pieces and lost her appetite, so Li Yueqi took the apple away and helped her lie down.
When she was about to close her eyes, she heard his hoarse voice: "Xia Xia..."
Her eyelids trembled. Except for the day when she had a high fever and heard him calling her like this in a daze, it had been a long time since she heard him call her - Xia Xia!
Li Yueqi looked at her intently with his deep black eyes, his expression calm and solemn, as if he had something important to say.
"Do you really want this child?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Banxia suddenly became vigilant when she heard what he said. Whenever children were involved, she became sensitive and suspicious, as if anyone would harm her children.
"Don't be nervous..." Li Yueqi's palm fell on the quilt and patted her shoulder: "I was just asking casually."
The hands on the quilt tightly grasped the quilt, and she said: "I am willing to pay any price for my children to see the prosperity of this world."
Hearing this, her thin lips revealed a sultry smile, and she touched her hair with her fingers: "Don't worry, you and the child will be fine."
Lu Banxia looked at him hesitantly, always feeling that he was a little strange this week, but couldn't tell what was strange.
"Xia Xia..." After a moment of silence, he added: "I may not be able to take care of you in the future."
Lu Banxia was slightly startled, almost reflexively wanting to ask "why" but swallowing it back, feeling that she was not qualified to ask this question.
Finally, a faint "Oh."
The desperation in his eyes was so fleeting that he couldn't catch it!
"There is a very difficult case that requires me to go. It may take about a month." He explained softly, his thin lips always holding a faint smile, and his eyes gradually fell on her belly, "Before the little bean sprout was born
, I will definitely come back!"
It turned out that he had a job. Lu Banxia seemed relieved and chuckled: "Everything went well."
"Go to sleep." He said, his eyes slightly narrowed and a smile flowing: "I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving!"
Drowsiness swept over her. Lu Banxia closed her eyes and felt that he had been looking at her. She didn't feel awkward or strange at all. She was used to it. It seemed that she felt more at ease with him by her side.
I don't know how long it took, but she gradually fell asleep. Li Yueqi was still sitting next to her, and the warmth in his dark eyes was no longer suppressed, but was revealed wantonly.
His fingers fell on her cheeks, caressing them gently, full of nostalgia and reluctance. He couldn't help but lower his head and his lips fell on her lips, seemingly absentmindedly.
"Xia Xia, you will be fine, I won't let anything happen to you."
His fingers slowly slid from her cheek to her belly, and his voice sounded faintly in the ward, "Little Douya, you have to be good when I'm not here, don't make her work too hard, don't make her uncomfortable...
…I promise you will come into this world safe!”
Lu Banxia fell asleep, and something small was kicking on her protruding belly. It was not too violent and did not wake her up. It seemed to be saying goodbye to Li Yueqi.
This was the first time that Li Yueqi put his hand on her belly and felt the baby's fetal movements. It seemed that the baby was doing well inside now. Unfortunately, he (she) didn't know how much his mother had suffered for him (her).
crime!
For the first time, he truly felt that a living life was in her body, truly symbiotically coexisting with her.
He leaned over and placed his lips on her belly, laughing softly: "Goodbye, little one!"
On a winter afternoon, warm sunlight fills the room. The smell of disinfectant in the room is masked by the smell of flowers. The light fragrance is refreshing.
Her sleep was sweet, and his smile was slightly cold.
************************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes************************
One month later.
Lu Banxia's belly has been around for almost six months, and her belly is more protruding than before. Her hands and feet are a little swollen, but there is still no trace of fleshiness on her palm-sized oval face.
That day, Li Yueqi told her in the ward that he would be away for a while because of work, and she hadn't seen him since.
Aunt Wen said that Li Yueqi had told her to take good care of her, but she never saw him again and no one answered her phone calls.
Lu Banxia didn't say anything on the surface, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. He often stared at his phone, wanting to call him and ask him how his work was going, and even wanted to know when he would be back.
In fact, she wanted to tell him something on the second day after she was discharged from the hospital, but she didn't expect him to leave so quickly and in such a hurry. She didn't even have time to say goodbye, so he left without saying goodbye!
He just talked about work, but didn't say where he was going or a specific date when he would be back.
Every time she went in and out, she would inevitably take another look at the closed door next door, but unfortunately no one opened it anymore.
Three days after Li Yueqi left, Xingtian came back.
Xingtian has been back for a while, but she was injured during the mission and has been recuperating. She was afraid that her injury would worry her, so she never showed up.
During this period, Xing Tian came to her very frequently, either bringing something with him or something with him. He would often bring Chu Bingyan over to show her, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.
Aunt Wen saw this and didn't say anything, but she was very anxious in her heart. Mr. Xing was very nice to the lady, but Mr. Li was also very good. She really didn't know why Mr. Li was going on a business trip at this time.
Is there an opportunity for Mr. Xing to take advantage of it?
Between Mr. Xing and Mr. Li, she still prefers Mr. Li, who talks and laughs happily, is mature and steady...
As for Mr. Xing, he seems a bit dull, and I feel like he can't handle the lady!
People often say, "One thing brings another thing down." Aunt Wen felt that only Mr. Li could match the young lady!
Lu Banxia also told Xing Tian not to come often, as work was his priority, and he didn't let Xing Tian stay here no matter how late it was.
During this period, Lu Heng and Yao Yu also visited her. Seeing that she was thin and her belly was not as big as that of a pregnant woman of the same month, they inevitably scolded Aunt Wen for not taking good care of her and asked Banxia to move back to the Lu family.
Lu Banxia remained as calm as before: "Aunt Wen took good care of me. I only eat and don't gain weight. I don't blame her." Regarding Lu Heng's move back to the Lu family, she insisted not to let go!
Lu Heng couldn't force her, so he sighed heavily. Yao Yu, who was sitting aside and had not spoken a word, tugged on Lu Heng's sleeves, with complex and twinkling eyes.
Lu Banxia is not blind and cannot see anything. Besides, Lu Heng has rarely come here for such a long time. When he comes, even Yao Yu comes with him, so he must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!
Lu Heng picked up the cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat. He looked at Lu Banxia and asked hesitantly: "Banxia, have you seen Zijin during this time?"
Lu Zijin frowned and looked at Yao Yu with his eyes, as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to see through the little thoughts in Yao Yu's heart.
"Zijinzijin, she's gone." Yao Yu pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, choked out a sound, and her eyes immediately became moist: "I haven't heard from her for almost two months, and no one answered the phone.
I’ve searched all over, but I really have no choice...otherwise I wouldn’t have come here at this time to bother you!”
Lu Heng sighed deeply, as if he wanted to place all his hopes on Lu Banxia, "Zijin is young and ignorant, but she is my daughter after all. During this time, I have asked many people to look for her.
It’s a pity that there’s no news, I’m really worried... Do you think you can ask someone from the Presidential Palace to help?”
The detective agency and the police had no information at all. He really had no choice, so he shamelessly asked Banxia for help!
If others can't find it, the Presidential Palace will definitely find a way to find it.
Lu Banxia frowned. If Lu Heng wasn't her father, she really wanted to ask: Do you think my family runs the presidential palace?
You can go find whoever you want! What's more, Lu Zijin disappeared, whether dead or missing, what does it have to do with her, Lu Banxia?
She leaned back comfortably, her cold eyes were emotionless, and her thin lips were pursed tightly and never let go. If she wanted to check someone from the Presidential Palace before, it would only be a matter of one sentence; now she has nothing to do with the Presidential Palace.
Why do you need help from others?
Why should I bow my head and beg others for Lu Zijing?
How could Lu Heng not know that he was trying to embarrass Lu Banxia, but Lu Zijin was his only biological daughter, so no matter how difficult it was again, he would still embarrass Banxia this time.
Yao Yu saw that Lu Banxia's expression was cold and unwavering, and her anxious tears fell down. She hesitated and struggled for a moment, then simply changed her mind, got up and knelt directly in front of Lu Banxia.
Lu Banxia frowned, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes: "Aunt Yu, what are you doing? Aunt Wen, why don't you help Aunt Yu up?"
"I won't get up!" Yao Yu knelt in front of Lu Banxia, bursting into tears: "Banxia, I know you don't like me and Zijin, but Zijin is your father's only biological daughter after all. She used to be ignorant and always did things.
I'm angry with you, I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf, I beg you to help me, have mercy on me as a mother!"
Now that Lu Banxia is pregnant and about to become a mother, she will naturally attack this weakness.
Lu Heng stretched out his hand to help Yao Yu up, his eyes were displeased: "What are you doing? Banxia didn't say you wouldn't help!"
Yao Yu pushed his hand away, her eyes full of tears, "I beg you Banxia... You are also a mother, you should be able to understand our parents' heart..."

Young Master: I rushed back all night last night and fainted by crying beside the toilet. You all didn’t come to pick me up. I cried fainted by the toilet again.
