"I didn't send her away. You need to rest, and your mother is injured as well. Neither of you should be straining yourselves. It's better for her to go home and get some rest,"
Xie Jinbai sat on the edge of the bed, gently spooning the medicinal broth. He blew on it lightly before bringing it to her lips.
"..." Cui Lingyao lifted her gaze to stare at him.
Xie Jinbai met her gaze and smiled. "Drink it while it's hot."
Though he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his tone was completely devoid of emotion.
Cui Lingyao finally realized that he didn't seem happy at all.
Her pregnancy was a matter of great joy.
All the subordinates outside were celebrating cheerfully.
Yet he, the father-to-be, showed no sign of happiness whatsoever.
'I have no idea what he's sulking about this time.'
'I cured him of the seductive powder's effects even while pregnant. Was that the wrong thing to do?'
'He'd even accidentally injured my mother, and yet he was still acting so cold.'
