nHe Xiyan felt better at night and her stomach no longer hurt that much. However, she still didn’t have much energy and felt very weak. She went to hold Yuan Yuan and after coaxing him to sleep, she returned to the bedroom to lie down.

nThese few days had been exhausting for her. She went to the hospital in the day to take care of Ye Hao and at night, she had to care for her child upon her return. She didn’t have much sleep and neither was she eating well. Her physical condition gradually deteriorated due to all that stress.

nFortunately, Ye Hao was now discharged so she could also take a good rest.

nThe bed was 2-meters wide but He Xiyan only took up a small corner of the bed. Her legs were curled and she slept on her side. From afar, it looked as though a child was sleeping on the bed.

nShe slept very soundly and did not even realize when someone entered the room until half of the bed suddenly dipped and a pair of hands wrapped themselves around her waist.

n“It’s not even 8 PM yet and you’re sleeping.” His masculine breath landed hotly around her neck. Then, he pulled her into his arms.

nHe had just emerged from the shower and still gave off a faint minty scent from the shower gel he used. It was refreshing and light but very nice-smelling.

nA faint blush stained her cheeks but she did not respond and kept her eyes tightly shut. Only she knew how fast her heart was beating.

nShe had never mentioned it but she had gradually fallen for this man after this one year of knowing him. Unlike her previous relationship where it had been love at first sight, their relationship had gradually deepened over time.

nSince she made the decision to come to Ye City to care for him, she had already accepted his feelings and after she brought Yuan Yuan to this castle a few days earlier, she was even more certain of her decision.

nThey were not used to whispering sweet nothings to each other but they expressed their love to each other through their actions as they went about their daily lives. Who was to say that such a way of expressing love was any more inferior compared to those who declared their love to each other every day?

n“Does it still hurt?” Ye Hao asked in concern as he placed his hand on her stomach.

nHe Xiyan shrank her neck back and turned around to rest her head against his arm.

n“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” She smiled at him. A smile with hints of shyness and happiness.

nYe Hao pulled her up and they sat together, resting against the bed, his arms around her shoulder.

n“Then you shouldn’t sleep first since it’s still earlier. If you sleep too early, you would not be able to sleep later at night.” Then, Ye Hao dug out something that looked like a tablet from the bedside drawer.

n

n

nHe punched in a few numbers and soon, the wall opposite them split apart like curtains drawing outward to reveal a large screen that filled up the entire wall. This was an ultra-luxurious family cinema, its effects even better than those screen at the cinemas.

n“Pick one.” He passed the tablet to He Xiyan.

nHe Xiyan saw that this was a selection of movies and the latest movies could be all found within it. She browsed through the selection and finally selected a horror film ‘Deadrising’. It was rated five stars on the horror scale and was a Hollywood film.

nYe Hao didn’t know what she selected and when he saw the subtitles on the screen, his brows knitted tightly together.

nJust how extreme was her taste? Why would she select such a bloodthirsty and terrifying film?

nSince that movie was a true horror film, it was terrifying from start to finish and was a classic doomsday movie. Blood, murder, explosions, people fleeing and screams could be heard along with the sound effect typical of horror films which made it terribly scary.

nHe Xiyan watched in silence and each time it came to a bloody or horrific scene, she would close her eyes and curl up in his arms like a child.

nYe Hao stroked her head and the corners of his lips turned upward. This girl was obviously scared but she still selected this film for the sake of excitement.
