Chapter 171 - I’ll Sleep on the Sofa
He Xiyan walked toward Ye Hao with a smile, sat down beside him and gently leaned her head against his shoulder.
“Am I disturbing you?” She smiled at him apologetically, knowing that men usually did not like women standing beside them while they worked.
Ye Hao patted her head out of habit with a tender smile on his face.
“Sure, as long as you’re by my side.”
Then, he continued to type a reply to an e-mail.
He Xiyan sat by his side and saw that he was sending out an e-mail to the marketing department. She watched him as he busied himself like a spinning top, as though he didn’t feel exhausted.
She had only entered the room because the call earlier had left her confused and she did not want to dwell in her sad past. She only felt comforted when she was by his side.
“Ye Hao, after I’ve given birth, let me work at your firm too,” He Xiyan suddenly said after Ye Hao finished typing his reply. She hadn’t worked in a long while and felt as though her intelligence level had dropped. Neither did she wish to become a full-time housewife.
Ye Hao frowned and looked at his wife in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t want to become dumber,” He Xiyan said coquettishly as she held on to his hand.
“Even if you become dumber, I’d still love you,” Ye Hao pursed his lips and caressed her small face affectionately. Then, he continued, “But if you feel like working, then go ahead. Feel free to select any department of your choice.” In any case, he had never wanted to rely on a woman to help him at work and this woman simply did not have the ability to take complete charge. She probably wanted to see him more often.
She was so silly to pose this question in such a roundabout way. Wouldn’t it have been easier for her to be more direct with him?
That was what Ye Hao thought.
He Xiyan continued to rest her head on his shoulder and kept him company until 10 PM at night.
Then, she gave in to her exhaustion and drifted off to sleep while leaning on him. She wasn’t sure when he carried her to bed but by the time she woke up, she was in his arms.
He Xiyan slowly pushed his arms off her. The longer she used his arm as a pillow, it would disrupt his blood circulation and cause his arm to feel numb. She turned around with her back facing him and curled up her legs out of habit, sleeping like a cat. However, she was so close to him that he could feel her every moment and she even accidentally provoked a reaction in him.
Ye Hao was a light sleeper and now that he was awake, he groaned as he was overcome by a familiar intense sensation.
She was still in the early-stages of pregnancy so they hadn’t been intimate in a while but they still slept in the same bed every day, so it was normal that he would be aroused easily.
Ye Hao turned over and quickly captured her small red lips in his as he gave her a deep and passionate French kiss.
The atmosphere slowly heated up.
He Xiyan clutched the bedsheet and her eyes suddenly widened as she remembered something. She hastily put her hand over his lips and stopped him from going any further.
“Ye Hao…” He Xiyan gently smacked his face as she tried to cool his passionate desires.
Ye Hao sighed and quickly remembered the doctor’s advice.
He sat up and his face was still flushed. His whole body was both taut and hard which caused him extreme discomfort.
“I think it’s better for me to sleep on the sofa during this period.”
He immediately rose from the bed, took out a spare blanket from the closet and spread it across the sofa.
