Liang Xun could completely imagine Jing Yao’s blushing face at this moment and his throat tightened.
He tugged at his tie and said coaxingly, “Yaoyao, let’s video call?”
Jing Yao fell silent. She actually wanted to see Liang Xun too.
This was the first time she knew that the power of longing was so strong. She wanted to see someone when she heard the voice.
“Wait for me for a while. I’ll go back to the bedroom.” Jing Yao stood up and quickly put on her slippers to go back to the bedroom.
When Liang Xun heard her movements, he hurriedly said, “Slow down, don’t be anxious.”
Hearing this, Jing Yao instinctively slowed down.
After returning to the bedroom, she carefully closed the door and sat on the bed.
“I’m here.” Jing Yao sounded anxious.
Liang Xu couldn’t help but laugh. His wifey was thin-skinned and liked to say what she didn’t mean. Before she came yesterday, he asked her if she would miss him, but she refused to admit it.
“Then I’ll hang up first. I’ll video call you immediately,” Liang Xun said with a smile.
“Yes,” Jing Yao answered briskly.
Liang Xun hung up and called her again.
Jing Yao picked it up quickly and Liang Xun’s smiling handsome face appeared in her vision.
Jing Yao observed carefully and found that Liang Xun’s condition was alright, but she quickly discovered something unusual.
“Liang Xun, why are you still wearing the same clothes you wore when you went out?” Jing Yao asked with a frown.
Liang Xun paused. He didn’t expect Jing Yao to take advantage of this. “I can’t be bothered to change.”
Jing Yao looked at him suspiciously. She knew Liang Xun’s habit of changing his clothes after sleeping.
“Have you not rested since you went there?” Jing Yao sounded a little reproachful.
Liang Xun’s heart warmed, but he felt a little helpless. “I went to the company after getting off the plane because I had an appointment with my partner.”
A look of heartache appeared on Jing Yao’s face. “Didn’t you get rid of the jet lag? Did you rest on the plane?”
“Yes,” Liang Xun answered without hesitation. In fact, he had been reading documents on the plane, thinking of a countermeasure.
“Really?” Jing Yao obviously didn’t believe him.
Liang Xun nodded. “Of course. What time did Yaoyao sleep last night?”
Jing Yao rolled her eyes and replied softly, “1 went to bed at eight last night.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows but did not expose her. “What time did you wake up?”
Jing Yao lowered her eyes and avoided Liang Xun’s gaze. “Just now. A few minutes ago.”
Liang Xun nodded. “Yaoyao washed up so quickly today. You were sitting in the living room when 1 called just now.”
Jing Yao’s body stiffened slightly and she was speechless.
Although Liang Xun had long guessed that she might not have slept well, his heart still ached when it was confirmed.
However, he couldn’t blame Jing Yao. He softened his tone and said gently, “Yaoyao, are you feeling unwell? Did you have serious morning sickness when you woke up this morning?”
Jing Yao opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Liang Xun said, “To be honest, 1 can tell that you’re lying. 1’11 be even more worried.”
Jing Yao’s eyes were slightly red and she felt aggrieved.
She looked at Liang Xun and said in a choked voice, “I’m not feeling unwell, but 1 did vomit this morning. I’m fine now.”
Liang Xun’s heart ached. He coaxed gently, “Baby, it’s been hard on you. 1’11 be back soon. If you miss me, call me. You can call me anytime.”
Jing Yao couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell.
“Baby…” Liang Xun looked like he was in pain, and his voice was uncomfortable and heartbroken.
Jing Yao wiped her tears and looked at Liang Xun with a smile, finding a way out for herself. “1 don’t know what’s wrong with me. Perhaps it’s the effect of pregnancy hormones. 1 actually don’t want to cry.”
Liang Xun hid the heartache and pain in his eyes and praised with a smile, “Yes, our Yaoyao is the strongest and bravest. 1’11 reward you when I come back.”
Jing Yao blushed and looked at Liang Xun curiously. “What reward?”
Liang Xun chuckled. “It’s a secret for the time being.”
Jing Yao pursed her lips. “I’ll give you a reward when you come back.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows and cooperated with her in amusement. “What reward?”
Jing Yao smiled. “I’ll keep it a secret for the time being.”
The two of them chatted for a long time. In the end, Auntie Li knocked on the door and called Jing Yao for breakfast before hanging up reluctantly..
