How If (Dong Hua And Feng Jiu Story)

50. Just give her a chance.

Meanwhile, Ye Hua and Ming Xia were on their way to Ming Xia palace. Inside the horse carriage, it was quiet. Ming Xia was still looking down at her belly. Ye Hua sighed then to start the conversation, he said, "Have you been with Mother since morning?"

Ming Xia nodded. "She called me."

"Is it necessary to tell  mother lord about our personal problems?'

Ming Xia became nervous too. She lowered her head further and said shakily, "I'm sorry."

"That's enough."

"Will you accompany me tonight."

"Yeah," Ye Hua's palms clenched as he said that. His heart rumbled. Why did circumstances seemed to keep him away from Bai Qian? He had missed his wife so much but now he had to be stuck with Ming Xia.

Ming Xia blushed even more. Her hand moved to touch Ye Hua's thigh. Ye Hua realized this and looked at Ming Xia's face who was  also looking at him now. Ming Xia's eyes closed. Ye Hua knew that the woman was waiting for his kiss.

Ye Hua was forced to bring his head closer. Ming Xia smiled as Ye Hua's breath blown over her face. Their lips touched lightly at first, then Ye Hua tried to deepen the kiss. Ye Hua closed his eyes, imagining that she was Bai Qian who he kissed.

Their tongues intertwined, sucking and gasping for breath. The kiss was interrupted because they had arrived in front of the Ming Xia palace. Ye Hua gulped nervously. He got off the carriage then, then welcomed Ming Xia's outstretched hand to help her off the carriage.

They walked towards Ming Xia's room. Unbeknownst to them, two servants from different camps were spying on them. Ming Xia pulled Ye Hua's hand towards her bed. Her eyes lit up as she sat on the bed, her gaze as if begging Ye Hua to indulge her again.

Ye Hua sighed. He crouched down in front of Ming Xia and took off Ming Xia's shoes. Then lifted Ming Xia's legs to position them properly on the bed. With a reassuring look in his eyes, Ye Hua pushed Ming Xia to lie down on the bed. Then took the blanket. He laid beside Ming Xia and covered the two of them. "We're not going to do it tonight. You must be exhausted." Ye Hua racked his brains.

"I really want to be pampered by you. This seems to be innate to this baby," Ming Xia stroked her belly. Ye Hua also stroked Ming Xia's bump and whispered, "There are many things to do besides being pampered."

Ming Xia blushed. "You must think I'm a weirdo, don't you?"

Ye Hua sighed. "Aren't all women weird."

"Does that include the crown princess?"

"Yeah, she's weird too." Ye Hua bended his arms over his head, turning it into a pillow. Ming Xia turned towards him, her hand touched Ye Hua's chest and it can took Ye Hua's eyes from the ceiling to look at her face. "I love you, crown prince. I will protect you no matter what."

Then,  Ming Xia approached Ye Hua, rested her head on the man's chest and fell asleep peacefully. Ye Hua patted her back. Ye Hua felt sorry for Ming Xia. He felt guilty for acting in front of her. Once again this is unfair to him and Ming Xia, hoping that this will all end and he can have free contact with Bai Qian.

Bai Qian, how are you now?

Every day, Bai Qian had to feel one false contraction. She winced every time she felt it and her sister-in-law, Bai Yi's wife and also Feng Jiu's mother had to teach her to control her breath to adjust to the pain.

"Don't panic, Xiao Wu. Take a deep breath..."

Bai Qian took a deep breath on that command.

"Count to five,"
