After tidying herself up, Li Beinian looked into the mirror.
Whenever she had her period, her face would turn pale from discomfort and she would look sickly.
It was the result of her being in so much pain every time.
Perhaps it was because of the aches in other parts of her body, that although she now felt bloated, the pain in her abdomen was not as intense as in the past.
Hence, her face… was considerably rosy.
Especially her lips, it gave no hint that it was that time of the month.
Sure enough, having a sex life after marriage gave her less painful periods.
Godmother wasn’t lying to me!
As instructed by Mu Xichen, Li Beinian went back to bed and fell asleep.
However, at some point, she was woken up by her sore back.
She got up, massaging her waist. It was already dark.
Mu Xichen walked in just as she was done washing up.
She was wearing a light-colored silk nightdress. It was thin and she wasn’t wearing any underwear.
As Mu Xichen’s gaze fell on the youthful perkiness that the nightdress could not hide, his gaze deepened.
With a fierce glare, Li Beinian slapped him and shooed him out of the room, “Get out!”
As he walked out, Mu Xichen smiled and said, “It’s time to eat.”
Li Beinian ignored him and put on her underwear before walking out.
Every tiny contour under the spaghetti strap silk pajamas was particularly eye-catching.
The moment she walked out, Mu Xichen scooped her into his arms.
This sudden movement startled Li Beinian and she exclaimed, “What are you doing!”
“Let’s have dinner.” Mu Xichen carried her downstairs. Although he wasn’t walking slowly, it felt steady as a rock.
Li Beinian knew at a glance that he was worried about her, hence she did not kick up a fuss. She obediently wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.
Mu Xichen placed her on a bench in the dining room. In order to make her more comfortable, he even laid a pillow down for her to sit on.
Seeing that there was already a bowl of soup on the table, she picked up the spoon and took a sip.
“How is it?” Mu Xichen sat beside her, looking a little nervous.
It was black chicken soup, and there were all sorts of medicinal herbs in it to revitalize one’s energy and replenish the blood.
The smell of Chinese medicine was strong and very aromatic.
It was excellently boiled.
Smacking her lips, she asked, “You made it?”
“Uh-huh.”
Li Beinian took another sip and pretended to ponder deeply. Then she said, “So-so.”
Mu Xichen watched as she took another sip and couldn’t help but laugh. He scooped a bowl of rice for her and handed her a pair of chopsticks. “Then I won’t cook anymore.”
“Oooh, it’s actually quite delicious.”
Mu Xichen ignored her this time round and sat by the side as he gave a light snort.
Li Beinian picked up a piece of ribs for him. Mu Xichen paused and looked over.
However, he turned away and snorted again.
She picked up a piece of lotus root for him.
The man took it in a single bite. Then, she picked up a piece of celery for him.
Mu Xichen continued eating off her chopsticks, but ignored her.
She started picking up more food and piling them into his bowl.
Alas, the man did not reject any of these and gulped down whatever she picked.
Whenever she had piled on too much and he couldn’t gulp them down in time, she’d slow down. But it wouldn’t take long till he was ready to stuff himself again.
Li Beinian herself was starving, but seeing how merrily he was eating, she asked, “How is it?”
Imitating her and pretending to be pondering deeply, he replied, “So-so.”
Li Beinian pulled a face and kicked him under the table. “How dare you say that my man’s skills are so-so?”
Mu Xichen gripped her leg firmly between his. He smiled helplessly and said with an amused look, “Cunning.”
