Dong Huiying tilted her head and rested it on Zhi Chen’s shoulder. "A man’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea." Zhi Chen slipped his hand into hers and intertwined their fingers. "Maybe I’m just worrying too much, but thinking about his Chuixue Manor, it’s said that even the one in the capital gifted him a plaque with ’Top One Villa In the World,’ he’s overextending himself, and it’s unclear what he’s really thinking. If he’s not careful, it could all come crashing down, and then it’ll be too late for regrets." "We have you, me, Shu Yu, Shujun, Haoming, Yue Ning. With so many of us around, even if he’s really good at making trouble, it won’t end in total ruin." Read full story at novel-fire.net "That’s true," after all, they were all watching over. Zhi Chen pinched her nose bridge, "You haven’t been sleeping well these past few days, go sleep in the car for a while. Look at those dark circles under your eyes, keep this up, and honestly, your heart will be too tired, and you might end up with white hair like me." He actually poked fun at himself, she rolled her eyes, wanting to banter with him a bit more, but then suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. This dizziness that flared up from time to time wasn’t the first occurrence. It seemed the symptoms first appeared back in Jiangnan. She pressed her temples and tried to check her pulse, but everything seemed normal. "Maybe you’re right, I feel a little dizzy." Zhi Chen sighed, then gently lifted her up and placed her inside the carriage. "Sleep," he said, tucking her in under the covers. She suddenly pulled at him, "Zhi Chen." "Stay with me a little longer." He agreed good-naturedly, then lifted the covers, held her in his arms, and lay intimately by her pillow. She nuzzled against him, resting on the crook of his arm, breathing in his unique scent. With the steady rhythm of his breathing, she could even hear his heartbeat and feel his strong, rhythmic pulse. "No, I just wanted to say... I feel a bit tired lately." Physically, mentally, a weariness from the depths of her heart. He held her tighter, "Maybe it’s because you’ve been anxious for too long, and now that Little Liu has been found, you can finally relax after years of tension, so that’s why you feel this way." What he said seemed quite reasonable, she thought to herself. "It’s been a long time since I had a craving." Suddenly, he felt like he couldn’t lie still. She spoke those words in such an ordinary tone, but to his ears, it sounded like a tempest of desires. Then looking at the dark circles under her eyes, he sighed softly, restraining his thoughts. "Sleep, get some more rest." And so, she slowly closed her eyes, drifting into a light sleep in his arms, though it was not very restful. She seemed to dream, a dream that was vague and blurry. The dream was bizarre, she dreamed of an entire forest, with trees full of heavy fruits. She lightly touched a fruit, and it fell, turning into little babies as it hit the ground. The little babies rushed towards her, clinging to her legs, eagerly calling her ’Mother’. In the dream, she thought to herself, a long time ago, she felt like the protagonist of ’Dragon Ball’, but instead of gathering seven dragon balls to summon a dragon, she gathered six husbands to summon little babies? She also thought drowsily that she really did have a baby, a baby born by Yixuan. Then those little babies swarmed over her, pressing her down until she was out of breath, feeling too heavy on her body.
