NovelEnglish"But baby, I can’t love you for the rest of this life," Jie’s voice halted Xu Mey who was yet again on her way to call Lin Shen.
She frowned and looked upset as she started, "But you just prom-," she was yet to complete when he stopped her.
Burying his face in her stomach, Jie said, "I meant to say that how can I love you only for this life. I have long made a deal with God to let you be mine for all the lives to come."
She felt warmth gushing all over her heart making her feel loved all over again. Xu Mey wanted to play with his hair but seeing a huge bandage on his head, she stopped herself. "Oh, so is the deal finalized?" She played along trying to hide her sadness.
Jie tilted his face to look at her face and grinned like a kid, "Of course! Did I ever lose a negotiation?"
Seeing him so confident, Xu Mey chuckled. Then her eyes widened as she felt his lips pressed against her tummy. "Hi, my baby! Daddy is so sorry for being late."

Xu Mey gaped at him before slapping his shoulder. Jie chuckled. "See, she’s even violent. But don’t worry, daddy will protect you. And daddy will make sure that she doesn’t cry as well. But daddy will need a helping hand. So, be healthy and come out fast."
"Ah-Jie, he can’t even hear you," Xu Mey reminded him.
Jie shrugged her words off. "Of course he can! My baby can hear everything daddy is saying."
Xu Mey pouted. "But I’m Ah-Jie’s baby. This is so not fair!"
Jie chuckled softly because it really hurt his chest but he didn’t let it show on his face. "Aiyoh! How can you be jealous of our child?"
"I am jealous! Ah-Jie can only have one baby and that’s only me!" Xu Mey stubbornly announced.
"Obviously, you are my baby. But you are a big baby and this one..." he stroked her stomach and added, "That’s my little baby." Xu Mey gave a reluctant expression but didn’t comment any further.
"I so want to meet this little princess soon." Jie’s remark made Xu Mey give him a stern look.
"It’s a prince. No princess. Don’t be mistaken."
"How are you so sure?" Jie asked in a challenging tone.
"Because I’m the mother here. I have a stronger connection with him. He’s a strong prince and that’s why I didn’t have any morning sickness until now. He’s a brave boy who doesn’t even hurt his mother." Xu Mey spoke with conviction.
"My princess can also be strong. And what do you mean by strong connection? I also have a share in making that baby." Xu Mey’s cheeks flushed and her whole body felt hot with his suggestive words. Why was he getting so shameless? Xu Mey squirmed away trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Now, let me go. I have to call Shen Ge. You’re bleeding." Finally, Xu Mey managed to escape his clutches and went out to look for Lin Shen.
Behind her, as a relaxing feeling settled in Jie’s heart, he laid down on her bed which had her enticing scent on it. It didn’t take long before the slumber engulfed him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Xiao Mey, why are you running around?" Xu Cheng asked anxiously as he saw Xu Mey coming out of her room.
"Dad, where is Shen Ge?"
"Why? Are you hurting somewhere?" Xu Cheng checked her body from head to toe.
"No." Xu Mey replied. "Ah-Jie’s stitches broke. He’s bleeding again."
"Oh, you go back. I’ll call him." Saying that Xu Cheng didn’t even give her a chance to react before walking away.
Xu Mey silently went back to her own room and found Jie with his eyes closed. There was a strange peacefulness on his face. The frown was all gone. In fact, she could even see a small smile on his face. Although he still looked sick, his face had gained back its charming aura.
Xu Mey sat down on the bed and placed his head on her lap. Her fingers lightly traced each and every feature of his face. Etching it in her memory, heart, and soul.
"Are you having a good dream, Ah-Jie?" She asked in a whisper. Jie stirred in the sleep and frowned again. When Xu Mey tried to press it down, Jie held her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers.
The frown eased up and he smiled again in his sleep. "Now, I’m home." She heard him mumbling making her heart swell with so many feelings that even she couldn’t speak anything.
Their way of loving was oddly weird but that was what made them a peculiar couple. Who loved whom more couldn’t be told but one thing was sure, both had found a home in each other. A home that gave protection, a sense of security, warmth, and all the love available.
He was hers and there was no doubt in that. But she was also his... There was no doubt in that either.
