My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 1314: Chapter 1307: For the Child (1) Chapter 1314: Chapter 1307: For the Child (1) Lu Weixi was suddenly confused, “What’s wrong with you?”

Zhiyou shook the keys, “Didn’t the keys fall outside just now? I picked them up.”

The window wasn’t closed, so he must have climbed through the window again.

Lu Weixi sighed. Although Mom didn’t go to the extreme of treating her like she was sick to her stomach, or threatening to take her own life or anything, it wasn’t that much better.

The family knew, but she firmly refused to agree, so what could be done? She couldn’t secretly go register for marriage with Zhiyou and present them with a fait accompli. Nor could she ignore her illness.

After all, the extremity of her mother’s actions was not unrelated to the grievances she had suffered over the years. The memory of her miscarriage was still vivid, the fact that her mother didn’t trust Zhiyou, nor the Qin family.

Moreover, when Zhiyou had knelt before her earlier, he kept saying that for the sake of the child, he was willing to be a good father, to be responsible for the family. His intentions towards the child were genuine, but towards her…
“My mom, she…”

“She’s right.”

Lu Weixi was stunned.

Zhiyou gave a self-deprecating smile, “During these five years of you being married to me, I truly haven’t given you many good days. It’s only right for her to be worried. If she firmly refuses to agree for us to remarry, it’s also okay. You don’t need to argue with your mom. Even if we don’t remarry, I am still the father of the child. I will do my best to be good to you both and protect you. Xixi, I…”

Zhiyou couldn’t contain his desire to embrace her, to be closer to her, or to make some sort of promise to her. But as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.

Forget it, anything he said now would just seem like he was casually making insincere promises. Better to prove himself through his actions over the long years to come.

He hesitated for a moment but still stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms. It had only been three months, and she wasn’t showing any signs of pregnancy; she was still as slender and delicate as he remembered.

Lu Weixi’s body stiffened for a moment, but she didn’t struggle and allowed him to pull her into his embrace. After a while, she spoke up, “I don’t need your protection, nor do I need your excessive attention. And even if it’s tough, I can bring up the child on my own.”

After all, she had a job, her own house, and a car. When they got divorced, Zhiyou also gave her a sum of money, sufficient for her to raise the child comfortably until adulthood.

“Okay, I know, our Wei Hui is very incredible.”

“Who’s ‘our’? I haven’t agreed to marry you yet,” Lu Weixi retorted with dissatisfaction while lifting her head from his embrace.

Zhiyou happened to lower his gaze to meet hers at that moment and saw that although she was frowning unhappily, her eyes looked relaxed and not really angry or worried, or bearing any other negative emotions. Instead, her discontent seemed more like coquetry, extraordinarily vivid.

As Zhiyou watched, he suddenly lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips.

Lu Weixi was a bit taken aback. Although they had been married for five years and had their moments of intimacy, Zhiyou was wild only one percent of the time. The other ninety-nine percent, let alone embraces and kisses, he seldom even gave her a sweet word.

In those five days after their divorce, although they had been close, the most Zhiyou had said was that he had “feelings of attraction” towards her. His enthusiasm seemed to wane after reaching the point of just trying to seduce you. Once he succeeded, he’d immediately turn cold and distant.

Could it be really because of the child in her belly that he’d become so gentle?
