2637 Chapter 2640 Young Master really dotes on her! 1
Xiao Ning did not sleep for the entire night.
It was not until midnight that she could not take it anymore and was in a daze for less than an hour.
When Bai Yeyuan got up, he woke her up from her shallow sleep.
He leaned over and kissed her. Seeing the little woman’s eyelashes fluttering, he curled his lips. “You’re Awake?”
Xiao Ning could not pretend to be asleep and could only rub her eyes and get up.
Bai Yeyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Why are your eyes swollen?”
Xiao Ning did not say anything. She thought to herself, of course they were swollen from crying.
As Bai Yeyuan spoke, he immediately called the kitchen maid. “Adjust the menu and remove all the ingredients that cause edema!”
Xiao Ning pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice, “It’s okay. I might have… drunk too much water before going to bed last night.”
Bai Yeyuan pinched her little hands and feet and heaved a sigh of relief. “Luckily, my limbs are not swollen. Pregnant women usually have swelling in the later stages. You’re way too early.”
As she spoke, the kitchen maid called again to ask for instructions on the adjusted breakfast menu.
Bai Yeyuan listened carefully and said to Xiao Ning, “This is the special nutritional menu that the professor made for you last night. See if there’s anything you don’t like. I’ll adjust it later.”
Xiao Ning bit her lips silently. She thought to herself, go ahead, go ahead, Bai Yeyuan!
If she had not stumbled upon the conversation between him and the female professor last night, she would probably be as happy as a fool to hear such a request right now.
Unfortunately, she had already heard the truth and would not be fooled by this man’s sweet words anymore.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you like the food on the menu? I’ll get the servants to prepare it again.”Bai Yeyuan saw that she did not answer for a long time and thought that she was not interested.
Only then did Xiao Ning move her body slightly. “It’s alright. That’s all. There’s no need to change it.”
She did not want to mess with the people below just because of her words.
Bai Yeyuan thought about it and decided to remove one of the desserts and change it to Xiao Ning’s favorite dishes. He then gave the order. The reason was that the young miss had not been feeling well recently and needed to recover.
Bai Yeyuan kept his mouth shut about Xiao Ning’s pregnancy and did not have any intention of announcing it.
After breakfast, he took her for a walk downstairs for the first time.
The Bai family residence took up a lot of space. Below his Little Red House was a quiet and elegant bamboo forest and a herbal field. This did not include the exquisite backyard of the old madam, there was a green lawn, a rose wall and a parasol tree path outside the living room.
However, Xiao Ning had lived here for four years and had never taken a walk with Bai Yeyuan in the garden below.
At this moment, walking beside Bai Yeyuan, she actually felt very surreal.
Even the servants of the Bai family looked at them in surprise. Even the gardener was so shocked that the flowers in his hands fell off. He muttered to himself, “Young master really dotes on young miss…”
Xiao Ning smiled bitterly in silence.
If she were to put aside the things she heard last night and put aside the grudges between them, the feeling of walking side by side at this moment was really warm, romantic, and… doting.
It was just like the most ordinary noble couple who spent their peaceful days together in their own manor.
Unfortunately, the reality was always the opposite.
Xiao Ning could not help but sigh.
Bai Yeyuan was not a talkative man.
When he heard her sigh, he only reached out and patted her shoulder. “From now on, we’ll go out every day to take a walk in the Sun. It’s good for the baby.”
After a pause, he said, “I know it’s not easy for a woman to get pregnant and give birth. I Can’t bear it for you, but I’ll try my best to do what I can for you. Rest in peace and leave the rest to me.”
