Jiang Xiaobai was only thinking about this after Yan left. She did not even manage to have dinner. She was sitting on the sofa all this while without realizing it was already night time. She did not even manage to prepare dinner.
When Xiao Su came back, he noticed that the house was pitch-black when he opened the door. He immediately frowned and thought that Jiang Xiaobai was going to make a fool of herself again. He was only away for a day and she was already messing things around.
Click! After Xiao Su switched on the lights in the living room, he saw Jiang Xiaobai sitting on the sofa quietly.
Jiang Xiaobai was sitting there with a dazed expression, like she was a wandering soul, while her complexion looked unpleasant. Xiao Su was stunned for a few seconds before immediately walking over to her. “Xiaobai?”
Jiang Xiaobai only came back to her senses after he called out to her several times. Her mind went blank for a moment when she realized Xiao Su was anxiously looking at her from the front.
“What’s wrong? Are you going to give birth soon? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Should I go make a call?” It was near Jiang Xiaobai’s expected period of delivery and Liang Yahe once told Xiao Su that the expected period was just an estimated period. If anything were to happen before that, there was still a chance that she would give birth to the child earlier.
Although Xiao Su had been out working the whole day, he was thinking about Xiaobai all the while. He had already been worried about her and thought she was not at home when he came back as the lights were off. Unexpectedly, she was sitting in a daze on the sofa. Xiao Su could only think of one reason why she was acting like this at this time.
However, Jiang Xiaobai was only looking at him in a daze without answering him even when he called out to her. Deep down, Xiao Su was very anxious. As he turned around and wanted to make a call, Jiang Xiaobai reached out to grab him. Xiao Su turned his head and looked at her.
“I’m fine.” Jiang Xiaobai forced out a smile on her lips. “You don’t have to call or send me to the hospital.”
“But…” Xiao Su frowned as he found it odd, but Jiang Xiaobai insisted she was fine. “I’m just a little drowsy and almost fell asleep.” Jiang Xiaobai immediately stood up after saying that. It was probably because she had been sitting there for too long, so her legs were numb when she got up. Fortunately, Xiao Su reached out in time to support her. “Are you sure you’re fine?” he asked, feeling worried.
“I’m fine,” Jiang Xiaobai replied as she shook her head. She then took a deep breath and continued, “Relax; I’m just a little sleepy. I’ll be fine after getting some sleep.” After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai pushed Xiao Su’s hand away, then walked toward the bedroom with her pregnant belly. She tried her best to walk calmly by herself without letting Xiao Su discover that something was unusual. When she finally reached her room and sat on the bed, she realized she had used up all her energy. She lay down on the bed while feeling muddle-headed and looked at the ceiling blankly.
You can’t be like this, Jiang Xiaobai. He only sent Yan to the hospital because she was injured. He can’t actually be blamed for making the decision to do what he believed to be important at that critical moment. Most importantly, if I can accept that person to be anyone else, why can’t I accept it when it’s Yan? Am I overthinking it and being too unreasonable? Jiang Xiaobai told herself to stop thinking about it. She kept trying to get rid of those thoughts from her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, those thoughts firmly occupied her mind as if they had grown roots. I can’t be like this, I can’t be like this. She had already befriended Yan, so she needed to be considerate of her. I didn’t stop Xiao Su from helping Yan, but why didn’t he tell me? He had so many chances to explain, but he did not once mention her name.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaobai got tired and fell asleep.
As a result, her dream was all about her being left in the supermarket that day. When she came out of the fitting room, she could not find Xiao Su and there was no response even when she called out for him. Then, as soon as the scene changed, Jiang Xiaobai saw Xiao Su hurriedly carrying Yan into the car while completely forgetting that he had a pregnant wife.
“Xiaobai, Xiaobai.” A voice came from far away. Jiang Xiaobai shook her head while breaking into a cold sweat.
Liang Yahe and Xiao Su were looking at her from beside the bed. Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s complexion, Liang Yahe concluded, “She’s probably having a nightmare. Try to wake her up gently and don’t give her a shock.”
Xiao Su was helpless. Seeing this, Liang Yahe took his collar and pushed him away. “Let me do it. You stay away.”
“Xiaobai, wake up. Xiaobai…” Liang Yahe’s tone was exceptionally soft. However, it took her a while to finally wake Jiang Xiaobai up.
Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes were moist when she woke up. Tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes as she blinked. Pitter-patter! Her tears were instantly absorbed by the pillow.
Upon seeing this, Liang Yahe and Xiao Su were stunned. Liang Yahe immediately became nervous after both of them exchanged looks. “Xiaobai, what happened? Is it because of a nightmare? Why are you crying?”
After being asked by Liang Yahe, Jiang Xiaobai was caught off guard. She did not expect herself to shed tears. Is it because I was so sad in my dream that I cried? Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai reached out and touched the corners of her eyes. When she saw her fingertips stained with crystal tears, she smiled unconsciously. “Did I actually cry from shock?” Jiang Xiaobai supported herself up while her expression was awkward. However, it was difficult for her to get up herself, so Liang Yahe immediately rushed over to support her.
As a woman herself, Liang Yahe was keenly aware that Jiang Xiaobai’s mood was off. “Did you have a nightmare? What was it about?” After saying that, Liang Yahe turned to glare at Xiao Su. “Xiao Su, you should go out first.”
Xiao Su was very worried about Jiang Xiaobai’s condition, but she insisted on not going to the hospital, so he had called Liang Yahe over to their place. He did not expect Liang Yahe to chase him out of the room. After thinking for a while, he turned around and left the room.
“Shut the door.” After Xiao Su closed the door to the room, Liang Yahe turned to Xiaobai and asked, “Did Xiao Su do something wrong to you? Tell me and I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
Jiang Xiaobai did not expect her to be so sensitive. She had only shed a single teardrop because of her dream and did not even make it too obvious, but Liang Yahe was able to guess it immediately. As expected, a woman knew a woman best. “I’m fine, Mom. Xiao Su hasn’t wronged me. Don’t overthink it.”
“How is it possible?” Liang Yahe did not believe her as she shook her head while grabbing onto Jiang Xiaobai’s hands. “We’re both women. Although I’m Xiao Su’s mom, I’m on your side, so you don’t have to be scared. If there’s anything, you can tell me. I’ll do you justice.”
“Mom, it’s really fine.”
“Don’t try to lie to me, Xiaobai. I can see that something’s not right from your mood and the look in your eyes.”
Deep down, Jiang Xiaobai knew that she could not keep it a secret any longer, so she did not deny anymore and said, “Mom, I’m indeed feeling emotional, but I haven’t sorted out my thoughts yet. Can I not say anything in the meantime?”
