Chapter 220: Be Strong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:

Chu Lui, as well as his parents, had wanted a child so badly. However, she had none.

“We have been away for too long. It’s time to go back.” Chu Lui did not understand why Li Manni was so concerned by the personal loss or gains. She was already married to him. Was he not treating her well? What else did she want from him?

He rested his hands on her shoulders and held her in his arms out of habit.

“No, I don’t want to go back. Can we stay for a few more days? I’m not done with the shopping.” At the mention of going home, Li Manni shrieked; and she shook with her hurried refusal to accept that phrase. That woman was a time bomb. She would explode in her face anytime and blast her into pieces. That was the reason why she and Chu Lui couldn’t go home.

Chu Lui narrowed his dark eyes and looked her in the eye. What was that earlier? Was she plotting?

“Manni, are you hiding something from me?” Chu Lui had always been calculative, and he had not suspected Li Manni’s unusual behavior. He thought that her behavior was due to fear, unease, and stress due to the fact that she had yet to conceive after so long.

From the looks of it now, that might not have been the cause. There might be more to her fear that she had let on.

“Nothing. You think too much.” Li Manni paused as she frantically lowered her head before Chu Lui could notice something was amiss. She held Chu Lui’s waist tightly. “I only wanted to try if we can conceive here. I’m scared.”

She said softly and felt Chu Lui’s hand moved to her hair, caressing.

“Don’t worry about this. We are both normal so it’s impossible that we can’t have a baby. It’s only a matter of time.” Chu Lui’s eyes narrowed. He knew that Li Manni might not have told him the whole truth. Perhaps, she had her reasons. He did not wish to pursue further. If she wanted a few more days, so be it. He could also use the rare opportunity to rest. It had been four years since he has had a good rest. Like Du Jingtang had said, even a machine would need to buck up and seize the chance to have a baby.

He hugged Li Manni’s slender waist. The man’s arms were strong enough to support a woman and give her stable heaven as well as a happy place for a child to live in. To his wife, he was a mountain that would never crumble. To his family, he was the ocean, always forgiving.

However, he knew that was not true.

He had a daughter. A pitiful daughter who was crying and hurting.

Xia Ruoxin leaned against the door. She did not know how long it was when a hand patted her shoulder gently. She opened her eyes, red and swollen from crying. A doctor was squatting before her. He continued to pat her shoulder slowly trying to comfort her anxious and tensed-up emotions.

“Madam Xia, it is done. She’s very tired now and asleep. Don’t wake her up. The child is weak, and you must take good care of her. She needs you the most now. So, be strong. Wipe your tears and give your child a smiling face.”

The doctor got to his feet and moved out of her way. The door opened. Rainy was lying coiled up on the small bed. Her face was devoid of all colors.

Xia Ruoxin stood up. She allowed herself to lean against the door. After a long time, she finally gathered herself. She could feel the strength in her body as she made her way to her daughter one small step at a time. Yes, her daughter was tired. Rainy was sleeping. It’s best not to disturb her and wake her up.
