826 Marital break
Caressing her chest, he chuckled, "Yes we are and I am more crazy about you."
Looking at him, she narrowed her eyes, "Are you trying to turn me on again?"
Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "Maybe I am and maybe I am not."
"Five minutes rest and then we can start again," she smiled before snuggling closer.
Kissing the top of her head, he exclaimed, "I love you honey."
"I love you too."

THREE MONTHS LEAP.
Li mansion
Zian and Mian's room.
Resting his head on his elbow, Zian inquired, "But why?"
"Because that is a rule Zian, a rule," Mian answered.
Scrunching his face, he complained, "I don't like the rule, it's forcing you to violate the first rule of our marriage."
"And what is that?"
Sitting up straight, he started explaining his point, "The first rule of our marriage was to not take our ring off under any circumstances so—"
Cutting him off, she chuckled, "And who made this rule?"
Pointing towards himself, he stated, "Me, I made them."
Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "You need to go back to work because you have way too much free time."
"What are you talking about babe? I am not marital break," he retorted.
"That is not even a thing, Yushen is working his ass off but here you are still taking a very silly break," she snapped.
Crossing his arms in the front, he puffed his cheeks, "How can you call our honeymoon phase a silly break? That is so unfair to our marriage and my pure love for you Mrs Li."
"Seriously Zian, your talks are gonna make me late for work. You are on a honeymoon break but I still have patients to cure so will you please excuse me?"
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he placed his head on her lap. "This is so unfair, I took this break because I wanted us to spend more time together but you have to go to work."
Running her fingers through his hair, she sighed, "Work is important too, at least you have Yushen taking care of everything in the office but I need to attend my patients on my own. After what happened with Gavin, the management is very reluctant to hire new doctors without any thorough background check."
"Hmm I understand, I'll pick you up for lunch and then drop you back. Later I'll pick you up after your shift is over too," he explained.
"Why don't you go?to work? Look at Zixin, he started working too," she suggested.
"Zixin has no one to take care of his company, well he has Kathy but he doesn't want to pressurize her but I have Yushen so it's cool." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Yushen is working hard now because I am on a break. Later when he gets married, I'll do the same. It's like an investment honey."
He shook his head and answered, "No, it's like he disappeared in thin air. The police seized all the properties that are registered in Gavin's name but he was found in none. The only thing they are sure of is that he hasn't left the country so we still have hope. Maybe he is hiding in some other city and—"
"What if where he is hiding isn't registered under his name? I mean, he is a very smart fellow so I don't think so he would do something as foolish as staying in a house or whatever that is registered under his name," she explained.
"Hmm, you have a point. Anyway, the police are trying very hard to find him and Nathan is cooperating with them. I think he will get caught soon."
….
Ben and Clara's room.
Passing his tie to Clara, Ben inquired, "What kind of help?"
"Philip and Matt want to adopt a baby but the agency wants two witnesses so Philip was asking if we could do it for them," she answered.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he smiled, "And what will you give me if I help you friend?"
Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "Apart from the fact that I am already yours, I can give you something that you cannot give me. Well, to be more clear lets just say that you can only be a part of it."
"Hmm let me think." Thinking for a while, he started throwing his guesses, "Delicious food? Because I cannot cook that well but you can so—"
"Nope."
Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "I don't know babe, just tell me what it is."
"Remember how I have been feeling nauseous and very weak for the past few weeks?"
Scrunching his brows, he nodded his head. "Yes, are you taking your vitamins in time? I should start reminding you—"
"I am taking them regularly, mom or aunt Ming always remind me."
"Okay then why are you feeling that way? I think we need to go to the hospital for a thorough checkup—" He stopped midway when she placed her hand on his mouth.
"Let me complete first and why do you panic so fast?" Removing her hand from his mouth, she continued, "So when I told Flora about it, she suggested that I should take a pregnancy test."
Widening his eyes in shock, he impatiently waited for her reply but when she did not say anything, he placed his hand on her shoulder. "And? What happened?"
"It was positive, we are pregnant," she beamed.
Clara, who was expecting an enthusiastic reaction from Ben, raised her brows when he did not utter a single word and kept staring at her for a minute or so. Placing her hand on his arm, she inquired, "Ben, are you okay?"
"Y-You are pregnant?" he stuttered.
She chuckled and nodded, "Yes I am."
Pointing towards himself, he stammered, "I-I am going to become a father?"

SPECIAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:-
Hey everyone, I had to take a short break because I wasn't feeling well for the past few days. I think I burned myself out during the win-win event last month. It has been really stressful and I almost ended up in the hospital again like last time.
But now I feel a lot better and you can expect regular updates for all my books (even One last time).
I hope you all are okay too :)
Lot's of love,
Sofia ?
