"Xinxin? Are you alright? Do you need help?" Shen Yi knocked at the door of their bathroom when his wife hadn't stepped out for a long time. He was afraid that she passed out inside again.
"Uh… I'm alright." He heard her timid voice from the inside.
Shen Yi sighed and went back to their bed, leaning his back at the headboard. It had been a very long time since he and his wife engaged in an intimate activity; she grew paranoid that he would hurt her and their baby.
While he was aware of Lu Xinyi's self-consciousness over her figure, he couldn't help but be awed by her transformation. He loved touching her bump more each day. If he had thought that she was beautiful before, she looked better when she was pregnant.
It took every ounce of his ironclad will not to touch her when all he wanted to do was to remind her how in love he was with her. It also didn't seem to help… seeing her uncomfortable these days.
