Xu Mey had spent the entire day chatting away happily with her bunch of friends. She ate a lot as well and it made Jie scared that she might throw up everything later. Luckily, her nausea didn’t bother her. She wasn’t that nauseous throughout the pregnancy but sometimes, it would still act up. But from the stories, she heard from He Susu and Fan Bingbing, she considered her pregnancy to be quite a smooth sailing.
When the sky outside darkened, Xu Mey’s eyes started drooping. The entire day’s tiredness was coming over her. Jie helped her back to their bedroom and said goodbye to everyone or more like pushed them all out of his house.
"Finally, it’s quiet!" He heaved a long sigh of relief.
He started tidying up the living room while the maid cleaned up the kitchen. It was quite rare for him to see his own house in a messy state. It only was acceptable when he was sick because, in those days, he could hardly care about anything.
"Ahhh!"
The sudden scream from upstairs startled Jie and he ran at the lightning speed towards his bedroom.
"What’s wrong? What happened?" He frantically came to Xu Mey’s side whose face was contorted in pain.
"Leg cramps..." She whispered softly with an aggrieved face.
Jie groaned as he sat down by her side and took her leg in his hands to give her a massage while saying, "Woman, you are gonna scare me to death one day."
Xu Mey pouted childishly and said, "Ah-Jie, don’t curse yourself like this."
Jie gaped at her in disbelief. Before he could say anything, she leaned over and placed a kiss on his temple saying, "You know I love you."
"I love you more." He said while slowly massaging her legs.
"No, I love you the most." Xu Mey added again.
"Then I love you the most-est!" Jie reciprocated her childish ways just to make her smile.
"I love you more than the whole wide world. No, actually, more than the whole wide universe!" She was flailing her arms dramatically while feeling proud inwardly at the thought that he had nothing more to add.
Jie could tell, she wanted to have the last say but he wasn’t gonna let her have it this time. He held her face in his hands and said, "And I love my baby more than words can ever describe."
"Okay, fine. You win!" Although she said it stubbornly, Jie could feel her happiness.
Jie slid close to her and gave her side hug saying, "Baby, I didn’t win." Xu Mey tilted her head to look up at his face. He tapped her cute nose saying, "You and I are one. Then how can I win all alone?"
"Sweet-talker..." With that remark, she snuggled up close in his embrace and closed her eyes again.
Meanwhile...
"Let’s find a place." Wu Wang said while his eyes stayed on the road.
"For what?" Yang Ziyi asked with a frown.
"We need to talk." Wu Wang answered in a serious manner which didn’t sit well with his usual laid back personality.
"About?" She asked again with an uneasy feeling rising in her heart.
"You, me and us." He said plainly and changed lanes to park the car in a small park.
"Oh..." Yang Ziyi’s wandered off to a thousand possibilities as she stared at his serious face.
They both alighted from the car and walked side by side on the running track in the park. They walked around for half an hour without any of them saying a word. Although Yang Ziyi was dreading this conversation for some unknown fears, she still mustered up the courage.
"So... What were you gonna say?"
Wu Wang sat down at the wooden bench with a long sigh as he said, "I don’t know really. I just fell like something isn’t right."
Yang Ziyi’s chin trembled a bit as her eyes stung. "What do you mean?" Before Wu Wang could say anything, she added, "Are you breaking up with me? And that too in a park? How mean of you! If you’re gonna be like this, you shouldn’t have shown me your real self. At least, it would have been easy to hate you if you just stayed as a playboy in my memories."
"Are you done?" Yang Ziyi sniffled softly before turning her face away from him. "Why is your mind so imaginative? I was gonna say that we have been dating for months and yet you haven’t even made me anything. Not even a single sandwich."
Yang Ziyi’s head turned at such speed that it was a wonder she didn’t get whiplash. She jumped at him and punched him anywhere she could while shouting. "You bastard! I’ll make you a sandwich and shove it down your throat to choke you for scaring me like this."
Her punches did little to nothing except for making Wu Wang laugh even louder. "How is it my fault? You came up with all that break-up talk. I did not!"
"You were being all that serious. Obviously, I misunderstood." Yang Ziyi mumbled and sat back on the bench to brood alone.
