Xu Tingyu met his eyes. Qi Shifeng also looked down at her.
She wasn't completely indifferent to him. After being flirted with by him for the whole night, her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.
Under the bedside lamp, her cheeks showed a faint blush.
And this faint blush gradually turned into a deep rouge color under his gaze, and even spread until every inch of her fair skin was tinged with crimson.
She was so vivid, much more pleasing to the eye than the silent and taciturn look she had when she was with Qi Ye.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips gently...
The temperature between the two rose rapidly. Xu Tingyu wanted to struggle, but his scorching breath in her ear made her waist go limp involuntarily.
Youyou was still sleeping beside them. Naturally, Qi Shifeng wouldn't go too far.
Finally, he held Xu Tingyu back in his arms. While calming his emotions, he couldn't help but mutter, "I should have sent this little guy next door."
Xu Tingyu gave him a disdainful look and thought to herself: If it weren't for Youyou being here, you wouldn't even be able to lie on this bed.
However, she was more curious now about why he said Qi Ye was a thief.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, Youyou let out a soft grunt.
She thought it was the noise just now that woke Youyou up, so she immediately dared not move.
But after waiting for a while and not hearing Youyou say anything, she let out a sigh of relief.
She was still very curious, so she got even closer to the man in his arms.
She didn't want to wake Youyou up, but in the man's eyes, her snuggling into his arms was an expression of love.
He let out a breath and tried to maintain his sanity. "I'm suffering. Stop teasing me, or I'll not be able to resist taking you back to my room."
Xu Tingyu obediently shrank back, but then the man pulled her back with red eyes.
It seemed that her being farther away made him suffer even more.
Xu Tingyu let him fuss over her and only seized the opportunity to ask, "Why did you say he's a thief? What did he steal from you?"
The man, who had been struggling with her pajamas, was stunned for a moment. Then he helplessly pulled his hand out of her clothes, re - clasped her waist, and hugged her tightly.
"Stop talking. Go to sleep."
However, the restlessness surging in his blood made the inside of the quilt warm.
Neither of them was sleepy.
Xu Tingyu waited for a long time but didn't get an explanation from him. So she had to change the topic.
"Then let me ask another question. That Zou Yu, have I met him before?"
Qi Shifeng had just managed to calm down. Hearing this, his breath caught in his throat again, and his gaze became even more eager. "Do you remember?"
Xu Tingyu was stunned for a moment by his scorching gaze, then shook her head. "No, I just feel like I should know him."
The man's gaze dimmed quickly. Soon, as if to ease the atmosphere, he hooked up a smile and gently slapped her on the butt.
"Lying in my arms, you only mention this man or that man. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Xu Tingyu grabbed his hand and still refused to give up. She pressed on, "So we have met, right? During the time when I was married to you."
Qi Shifeng let out a soft grunt but didn't want to say more. "He's Qi Ruixi's fiancé. He was your bodyguard for a while."
Xu Tingyu became even more interested. "He's Ruixi's fiancé? Were they together when he was my bodyguard?"
Actually, she remembered Qi Ruixi, but there weren't many images of her.
They were just some fragments of having meals in the Qi family's old mansion.
Qi Ye hadn't mentioned much about Qi Ruixi to her either, only saying that her relationship was stable but there were no immediate marriage plans.
Now that Qi Shifeng had brought up Qi Ruixi, she had to ask.
Although Qi Shifeng didn't want to talk much, he would soften his heart when she looked at him with bright eyes.
So he softly told her about the development of Qi Ruixi and Zou Yu's relationship.
"I'm not sure exactly when it started, but Zou Yu did come here because he was your bodyguard."
"Now Ruixi is also pregnant. She'll give birth in one or two months and is currently on bed - rest. That's why she didn't come this time."
As soon as she heard that Qi Ruixi was pregnant, Xu Tingyu got excited for no reason.
"My goodness. She must really need Zou Yu by her side now. Is it okay for you to let him accompany Youyou here?"
Her original intention was to worry about Qi Ruixi.
After all, Qi Shifeng had also said that the Qi family didn't know about this relationship yet.
Everyone was kept in the dark about Qi Ruixi's pregnancy.
Qi Shifeng had sent her to a branch company under the pretext of work. In fact, she had already gone to another city for prenatal care.
But as soon as her voice fell, Qi Shifeng suddenly hugged her tightly and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.
"It was Ruixi who asked for it on her own initiative. She's very safe there. There are three nannies taking care of her."
"As for you, you're pregnant and not in good health. It must be very hard for you."
He felt an indescribable guilt for not being able to be by her side.
He felt guilty towards both her and the child.
Xu Tingyu didn't expect the topic to turn back to herself. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "It's not that hard."
This child was very well - behaved. Her pregnancy reaction wasn't very serious.
Moreover, she wasn't showing yet, so her body wasn't heavy and cumbersome.
Qi Shifeng gently stroked her belly. "Then why are you always unhappy?"
In fact, he had been to England several times and watched her from afar. She never smiled.
Sometimes, her face was also very pale.
Wasn't it because of the pregnancy reaction?
Xu Tingyu shook her head. "I'm not unhappy because of the pregnancy. I just always feel like I owe someone."
Actually, she couldn't really explain her feelings.
Anyway, since she lost her memory, she really didn't like to smile.
Her life was also muddled all day long, feeling like she was floating in mid - air.
Just like now, lying in the same quilt as Qi Shifeng, she actually didn't feel any sense of guilt.
Because she always felt that it wasn't real.
Nothing was real.
It seemed that a filter had been placed over her life. She couldn't see clearly or touch it truly.
Qi Shifeng remembered that she had said before that she didn't want another child because she hadn't accompanied Youyou. If she had another child, she would feel sorry for Youyou.
Unexpectedly, even though she had lost her memory, this feeling was still engraved in her mind.
As a result, she was always trapped in this feeling of debt.
"Tingyu, don't feel guilty or indebted. You're the last person who should have such emotions. You haven't let anyone down."
"Youyou loves you very much, and he also loves his sister. He won't think you don't love him just because you have another baby."
"So you don't need to have any psychological burden at all. You should have a little more confidence in Youyou. After all, he's our son."
He said this quite proudly.
And he really was proud.
Youyou not only perfectly inherited the good looks of him and Xu Tingyu but also his intelligence and Xu Tingyu's delicacy.
Most importantly, he was a child who grew up in love and believed that his parents loved him firmly.
