During the first three months of his pregnancy, Xie Ze was afraid that he would run into Qiao Wanwan while sleeping, and also afraid that Qiao Wanwan would touch him inappropriately, making him unable to resist his wife's temptations.

He also had to protect his wife, so he took the initiative to suggest that they sleep in separate beds.

Xie Ze, a tall man of 1.8 meters, could only lie pitifully on the chaise lounge in the side hall of the room, unable to stretch out his arms and legs.

Qiao Wanwan couldn't stand it anymore and waved to the man.

"Aze, I promise I won't touch you. You can come back here and sleep."

But the man resolutely refused:

"Wanwan, you absolutely can't! The doctor said these three months are very dangerous."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she gave up.

Surprisingly, Qiao Wanwan didn't experience any morning sickness like other pregnant women. She ate and drank well, and didn't have to worry about anything, living a very happy life.

But this kind of happiness comes at a price.

Sure enough, by the fifth month, I had already started to notice that I was gradually gaining weight and my figure was starting to change.

One night, Qiao Wanwan felt very uncomfortable while sleeping.

The muscles in my legs were twitching in waves, and the pain was unbearable.

"hiss!"

She gasped.

The man who slept in the side room didn't want to go out to work during the day and disturb Qiao Wanwan's sleep when he came back at night, so he always slept in the side room.

Upon hearing the woman's voice, he immediately realized something was wrong.

He quickly got out of bed and went to the bedside, seeing Qiao Wanwan's brows furrowed in discomfort. He sat down beside her and stroked her with concern.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Aze, my legs hurt a lot too."

"leg?"

Xie Ze pulled the blanket off Qiao Wanwan's legs, lifted the woman's trouser legs, and gently held her calves, massaging them for her.

Is this the place?

"Ah."

Xie Ze had already consulted with the doctor beforehand about the discomforts that pregnant women might experience.

Therefore, knowing that women do experience leg cramps during pregnancy, as Wanwan's husband, since he couldn't share the burden, he could only try his best to help alleviate it.

Qiao Wanwan secretly smiled to herself as she watched the man treat her so well.

Although Xie Ze is the villain in the book, he is a good man because he truly loves someone and will help her without hesitation.

Seeing that the woman was still secretly smiling, the man realized she wasn't in too much pain, so he smiled indulgently.

Qiao Wanwan felt slightly annoyed as she watched the man's slender fingers press on her thickened calves.

Curious about Xie Ze's opinion on her gaining weight and becoming less attractive, she asked him with a puzzled expression.

"Aze, I've gotten fat and ugly now, will you still like me?"

"?"

Xie Ze smiled helplessly when he heard her belittling him.

“You will always be you. What I love about you is not your appearance, but your heart. How could I not love you because of changes in your body? Besides, Wanwan, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful and stunning woman. You are the gem hidden in my heart, hard and unbreakable. You are the woman I love most in this life.”

Qiao Wanwan also enjoyed listening to men's sweet talk, which made her very happy.

"Aze, your voice is getting sweeter and sweeter."

"If Wanwan likes it, I'll say it every day."

As she was talking, Qiao Wanwan's eyelids drooped slightly, and she fell asleep without even realizing it.

Xie Ze massaged her all night long, allowing her to sleep comfortably through the night.

The man also watched her sleeping peacefully all night with doting affection.

When Qiao Wanwan woke up lazily in the morning, she saw the man lying next to her, his eyes with dark circles looking at her.

"!"

"Aze, why are your dark circles so bad? Did you not sleep all night?"

"Watching Wanwan sleeping so soundly, I couldn't help but become engrossed in watching her."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan had already guessed that he had been massaging her legs all night.

Um... this makes her feel so guilty.

Qiao Wanwan pouted her red lips, displeased, and moved the blanket over herself onto him, hugging him and issuing a stern warning:

"You need to catch up on your sleep; take care of yourself."

"Okay, Wanwan, can you come with me?"

"Okay, let's sleep together."

"Ah."

The man closed his beautiful eyes, loosely embracing the woman, leaving some space for her belly. The two, who hadn't slept in the same bed for a long time, quickly fell asleep again.

...

During the last two months before her delivery, Xie Ze frequently stayed by Qiao Wanwan's side, protecting her and fearing that something might happen to her.

He would accompany Qiao Wanwan wherever she wanted to go.

We took Xiaoxiao and An'an outdoors to fly kites, fish, have picnics, and had a wonderful time.

Qiao Wanwan led them to set up a barbecue grill outside, and Chunxia and the two children helped out.

She decided to let the people of ancient times taste the delicious aroma of barbecue, which was simply wonderful.

Looking at the woman's happy smile, Xie Ze imagined that his own child would be born in a similar way.

After grilling a skewer of meat, Qiao Wanwan beckoned the man who was standing there in a daze to come over.

"Aze, come here quickly. I baked some things for you to try, see if they're good."

"it is good."

The man took the meat skewer from Qiao Wanwan, put it to his lips and took a bite. His mouth was filled with the aroma of spices and the rich, sweet flavor of the meat, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he praised without exaggeration:

"Yes, Wanwan's cooking is excellent. I have never tasted such delicious food before."

"Right, this is barbecue. Grilling meat and vegetables together with seasonings makes it incredibly delicious. I've been craving it for ages."

Xie Ze learned about one of her interests and actively helped her:

"Wanwan, can you teach me? I think I can make it for you whenever you want to eat it in the future."

"Okay."

That's really great.

Qiao Wanwan rubbed her hands together; she couldn't have been happier.

...

After ten months of pregnancy, the amniotic sac ruptured. This caused a stir throughout the Qiao family mansion, where a group of people waited in the courtyard.

Qiao Wanwan's father, Qiao Qingfeng; Qiao Qingfeng's brother, Su Xu; Xie Ze's adoptive father, Mo Jiang; his junior brother, Mo Xi; and all the fellow disciples who had watched Qiao Wanwan grow up. The two siblings Qiao Wanwan brought back were also there, looking bewildered but knowing what the adults were worried about. They all stood together in the courtyard, extremely nervous.

Of course, the most outrageous one was Xie Ze.

I paced back and forth at the doorway, listening to the woman's painful voice inside, her lips pale, my heart aching terribly, and I struggling to breathe.

The midwife and Chunxia inside were encouraging Qiao Wanwan.

"Miss, you must hold on."

"Almost there, almost there, please use a little more force, Miss."

Xie Ze watched as the maidservant went in and out, replacing the basin of bloody water in her hands with clean hot water.

Wanwan bled a lot…

He looked like he was going crazy, clutching his aching head, his eyes reddening with heartache for Qiao Wanwan.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Why wasn't he the one to bear this pain in Wanwan's place?

"Wanwan, please don't let anything happen to you."
