Xie Limo obviously knew what was going through Yun Bixue’s mind. He replied gently, “I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing this for my child.”

Yun Bixue pouted. “Limo, the way you say it, it’s like you only care about the child!”

Xie Limo’s chest rumbled as he chuckled. He scratched her nose lightly. “Why are you still acting like a child and being jealous of another child?”

“I’m not. I just want you to rest a little. You really don’t have to massage me. I’m not tired.”

Yun Bixue blinked up with her clear eyes, imploring him to believe her words.

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue’s swollen feet, and his gaze darkened. His heart would ache immensely every time he saw it.

But some things were hard to articulate, so he could only hide them in his heart. Yet, the sort of heartache he felt for her was always so raw, so he wanted to be able to do something for her.

If one day he did not massage her, it would feel as though he didn’t do his job properly.

For a woman to willingly nurture and care for your child was the greatest show of her love and sacrifice. Taking it for granted was the one thing which shouldn’t happen.

He had never taken it for granted, only wishing to love her to the best of his ability.

He wished to do everything for her, including the small and tiny things.

After Yun Bixue fell asleep, Xie Limo left for the study silently. He met with Xie Wu and Xie Liu, instructing them to arrange for suitable personnel to enter Country F to investigate the Ye family.

At the same time, he inquired about many recent happenings and things he had to settle.

Later, Yun Bixue was not in a deep slumber and woke up during midnight. She was used to looking at her side when she woke up. Although it was dark outside, the moonlight still filtered through the window panes.

She panicked a little after not seeing Xie Limo by her side, so she stood up and wore her slippers before leaving the room to find him.

When she saw the lights from the study, she let out a breath of relief knowing that he would definitely be inside.

She climbed up the stairs lightly.

When she reached the second floor, she heard the soft sounds of people talking.

Under the impression that it was probably Xie Limo who was talking to Xie Wu and Xie Liu, she turned around, intending to leave.

But just as she was about to go down, she heard a whisper of something about Old Master Yun. She couldn’t hear the specifics, but she was sure she heard that.

Yun Bixue’s heart trembled as she staggered backwards. She supported herself with the wall at the side to prevent herself from falling.

As long as it was about her grandfather, no matter how much time has passed, she would still feel sad.

That person was the pillar of strength for her and her younger sister—their only relative.

Yun Bixue closed her eyes and started to analyze. Why would they be talking about her grandfather?

She wasn’t intentionally trying to eavesdrop, so she did not move closer to the study. She was just feeling a little weak in her legs.

No matter the truth, she wouldn’t rush in rashly to question Xie Limo.

She trusted him. It was not easy for him, so no matter what happened, she wouldn’t question him.

After calming the guilt she felt, she supported her waist and was about to carefully walk down the stairs.

At that moment, Xie Wu walked out from the study. Upon seeing Yun Bixue, he exclaimed in shock, “Young Madam!”

Yun Bixue who was near the steps was startled by his call and jumped, almost missing a step that would cause her to fall down the stairs.

Xie Wu’s heart was about to jump out from his throat. He rushed forward and grabbed Yun Bixue’s arm to help her regain her balance.

Yun Bixue swayed a little, breaking into cold sweat before she regained her balance.
