She ended up sighing when she saw how her husband avoided her question. She took a step forward as she began walking towards him. "How about you accompany me for a stroll tonight?"

    He turned his eyes back to her, "A stroll?"

    "Yes. I can''t just go to sleep with my stomach full even if I want to." She crossed her arms again.

    "Alright." He stood up from his seat and went to her. He was indeed tired from the travel but he had to work on something so he couldn''t just rest yet.

    On the other hand, Shi Enxi remained still on her ground which made Lu Mello blink in confusion, "What?"

    "I''m gonna puke..." She covered her mouth and rushed to the restroom.

    In the next moment, he was able to hear her vomiting inside the restroom. He took the bottled water from his desk before he went and followed her inside. At times like this, he wished that he could do something to help her but this was something normal for every pregnancy. Even if he asked the doctor to do something, there''s nothing he could do. Morning sickness was normal and all he could do was watch and let it pass.

    "Nevermind... I''m not going to walk out." She said after wiping her lips.

    "I know that you''ve been busy lately but have you been eating properly?" He asked with a worried look on his face.

    She turned to him, raising a brow, "Do you think I''m not capable of taking care of myself? Besides, something like this is common. Don''t give me that ''something is wrong'' bullshit."

    The irritated look on her face made Lu Mello gulp. He didn''t mean to annoy her with his question. Ah... How can he forget that women''s emotion is more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e when pregnant?

    "I just want to make sure." He sighed in defeat. "Also, I think you should at least do exercise or at least yoga to help you with your pregnan-"

    "I told you, I can take care of myself." She huffed. She walked past him and headed out of the restroom while her husband followed behind her.

    "Do you want to eat something? What are you craving for?"

    "I don''t have an appetite right now. Besides, we just had dinner."

    "But you just threw up your food..." He muttered.

    "Great! At least now I can go to bed."

    As Shi Enxi left the room, Lu Mello followed her until their bedroom just to make sure that she was fine. She had a pale face and she looked like she threw out her strength as well.

    She laid down on the bed and heaved out a sigh of content as her body relaxed. Finally, she can go to sleep. For some reason, she felt that her pregnancy this time was taking more toll on her body than the first. Maybe she should take a few days off just to replenish her strength? She may have told her husband that she was taking care of her body but because of work, there were times when she had to eat late.

    Lu Mello sat at the side of the bed and pulled up the blanket until her shoulder.

    She looked at him with her tired eyes, "Come, why don''t you sleep with me? You don''t plan on going back to your study to work, do you?"

    And so, he was easily defeated by her that he ended up getting on the bed, laying down beside her.

    "Good night, Xi''er."

    She snuggled close against him before she closed her eyes and replied, "Good night..."

    ...

    Early that morning, Shi Enxi was woken up by the delicious scent of food that entered her nostrils. When she opened her eyes, she saw her husband, walking towards the bed, carrying a tray with breakfast on it.

    "Good morning, hon." Lu Mello greeted with a loving smile.

    She could feel the low rumble coming from her stomach so she couldn''t really ignore him and the breakfast he brought right now even if there were still a bit of sleepiness left in her eyes. She yawned and stretched out her arms before she slowly sat up.

    She noticed a rose on the tray with a red ribbon tied on its stem.

    As he placed the tray on the bed, he took the rose and gave it to her, "For you."

    She started at the rose for a short while, a smile formed on her lips. She turned her gaze to him and raised a brow, "What am I going to do with this, eat it?"

    "..."

    Seriously... Can''t she just hold back even for a moment and let the moment remain romantic?

    Lu Mello ended up chuckling as he slightly shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt. She never failed to amuse him. "You should skip work today." He suggested.

    "I can''t. Xiao Yao has an audition, I have to accompany her."

    "Why don''t you ask someone else to do that? It''s just an audition. I''m pretty sure she can handle it herself." He insisted.

    She did think that she needed to rest from work. Lu Mello was right, Fan Xiao Yao can handle herself with the audition. She just needed to give her a call and remind her of a few things.

    "Fine." She sighed. "But I want you to do the same. If I''m skipping work, then you need to do that as well and accompany me today."

    "Great. I''m planning to bring you somewhere today so you have to get dressed after having your breakfast."

    She blinked a few times in confusion, "Bring me somewhere, where?"

    The side of his lips curled into a wide grin, "You''ll know it once we get there."

    She chuckled softly, "Then I look forward to your surprise." She smiled. "At least we''ll be able to spend the day with Xue''er this time."

    "About that..." He trailed off.

    "Hm?"

    "We can take him somewhere later, for now, I want it to be just the two of us."
