Although Xia Wan still had the same venomous tongue as before, Xiao Muting kept feeling that there was something wrong with the other party.

The Xia Wan in the past was filled with angles, but now it gave off a gentle and gentle aura, making people unable to resist the urge to get close to him.

Staring at Xia Wan's sparkling eyes for a while, Xiao Muting wanted to say something, but Xia Wan's face was extremely bad, so he could only stay in the old house without saying a word.

"Sir, please don't sneak a peek at my sister. She has a husband, it wouldn't be good if it got out!" Little Grass assumed a protective stance, not even sparing Xiao Muting a glance.

Xia Wan was angry but at the same time, she found it funny. She liked Little Grass a little more, but her alienation towards Xiao Muting was also more obvious.

Xiao Muting's face darkened as he looked at Little Grass speechlessly.

Little Grass's eyes were still calm, as if she was used to seeing great storms, which was why she was able to maintain her composure. "Mister, please don't look at me either. "My mother said that good-looking men are dishonest."

Little Grass spoke in a sharp tone again, causing Xia Wan to almost laugh out loud.

She tried to stifle a smile, her face flushed.

Realizing that Xia Wan was laughing, Xiao Muting's originally gloomy mood immediately eased up.

When he saw Xia Wan's line of sight, Xia Wan kept her distance from her without leaving a trace, and firmly guarded the boundaries of being different from a man and a woman.

In reality, the conflict from before had been gone for a long time. Xia Wan's hatred for Xiao Muting had also lessened slightly. Now that she was only focused on Tang Shaofeng and the baby in her stomach, she didn't really care about anything else.

Noticing that Xia Wan was trying to distance herself from her, a sense of loss flashed past Xiao Muting's eyes.

Was he really being replaced by Tang Shaofeng in Xia Wan's heart?

When he thought of Tang Shaofeng, Xiao Muting naturally thought of him. Thus, he looked at Xia Wan, wanting to say something but hesitating, "How have you and Shaofeng been lately?"

Xia Wan wanted to curry favor with her initially, but Xiao Zhi interrupted her first, "Alright, elder sister is pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to receive guests. If Mister has no other matters, you can leave first."

This time, Xia Wan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was unknown if it was because Tang Shaofeng had warned her before, but Little Grass's wariness had already reached an exaggerated level.

But this is good too, Xia Wan thought to himself. He shouldn't be too close with her anyways.

Hearing that Xia Wan was pregnant, Xiao Muting was startled on the spot. Little Grass had always been rude to him, but he was no longer angry.

After a long while, Xiao Muting suddenly jumped up from the sofa and left with a strange expression, he did not even say goodbye.

When Xiao Muting left, he smiled and gave Little Grass a big thumbs up, "Little Grass, well done!"

Little Grass scratched her head in embarrassment as her face was slightly flushed.

In the past, Xia Wan would often cause trouble for her, so she could not let go of Xiao Muting, hence she had received many cold treatment from Xiao Muting, who viewed her as his enemy.

Although she had a whole new life now and she had put down her grudges towards the past, Little Grass at the very least infuriated Xiao Muting enough.

After leaving the old house, Xiao Muting's car drove aimlessly on the street.

His dark eyes reflected deep concern, and he finally felt that he was being unworthy.

In the past, he had treated Xia Wan worse than worse. But now that he had switched roles with Xia Wan, he couldn't help but care about her.

At the end of the day, even if Xia Wan had enmity with him, she was still the person that was hidden the deepest in his heart.

Xiao Muting suddenly stepped on the brakes, turned his head, and realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the Tang Clan Headquarters.

"What right do I have to denounce him?" He did not have the qualifications to help Xia Wan teach Tang Shaofeng a lesson. This was the reason why he was unable to move forward.

But Xia Wan was pregnant, while Tang Shaofeng was fooling around with another woman, so he couldn't stop his rage, and he felt injustice for Xia Wan.

This oppressive and struggling mood made Xiao Muting very upset.

At 10 o'clock at night, Tang Shaofeng returned home. Seeing Little Grass alone in the kitchen cleaning up the tableware, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Little Grass, where's Madam?"

"My mother said that pregnant women need to rest early, so I forced my elder sister to go to bed."

Tang Shaofeng smiled happily, and became even more assured with Little Grass, "That's right, I'll give you a raise next month."

Little Grass waved her hands and said with an embarrassed expression, "No need, Mister! My salary. "It's already high enough. I rarely do anything every day, so if you were to pay me a raise, I wouldn't feel at ease."

Tang Shaofeng revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but he had a better impression of Little Grass's simple personality.

He turned and walked upstairs. He saw that Xia Wan was leaning against the bed and reading a book. That gentle and gentle look made his heart soften.

"He's back!" Xia Wan happily put down the book and moved closer to the bed.

After Tang Shaofeng walked over, he was not in a hurry to take a bath. He kissed Xia Wan on the forehead and asked seriously: "Is there anything strange happening at home recently?"

Xia Wan shook her head, and did not forget to praise Little Grass, "No, Little Grass is especially manly. I'm not afraid of her at all."

After nodding at Xia Wan's nose, Tang Shaofeng did not know whether to laugh or cry, "How can you praise others like that?"

After he finished speaking, Tang Shaofeng went to take a bath. Only then did Xia Wan remember, she had not even mentioned the matter of Xiao Muting's visit today.

When Tang Shaofeng finished his shower and came out, the sleepy Xia Wan was already in a deep sleep.

A week later, Xiao Zhi was quietly accompanying Xia Wan in reading when she suddenly received a call from her family saying that her mother was sick.

After hanging up, Xiao Yao anxiously asked Xia Wan for a leave of absence, which Xia Wan obviously agreed to.

However, when she reached the door, Xiao Zhi rushed back. Just as she was anxious, she forgot that Tang Shaofeng had reminded her that if she wanted to ask for leave, she should ask Tang Shaofeng for permission first.

Because Tang Shaofeng was not at ease, Xiao Zhi did not have a rest day, but if he had to ask for a leave of absence, he had to inform Xia Wan in advance.

She was worried that Tang Shaofeng would not agree, so she said while twisting her clothes: "Big sister, I forgot that I don't have a rest day, I have to report to mister about my leave, but I'm afraid that mister won't agree."

Xia Wan felt that the conditions for Tang Shaofeng to hire him were too harsh, so she waved her hand, signalling Little Grass to leave without worry.

After Little Grass left, Xia Wan flipped through the books for another hour.

Feeling bored, she got up to pour some water, only to hear the notification sound of her phone's memo ring. It turned out to be the day of the maternity inspection.

After tidying up a few simple things, Xia Wan was just about to leave when she realized that her sense of security was greatly reduced because Little Grass wasn't by her side.

With a frown, Xia Wan called Tang Shaofeng, hoping that she would find some time to accompany her.

"Hello?"

"Wife, what's the matter? I can't answer the phone right now. "

Hearing that Tang Shaofeng's surroundings were noisy and his voice was low, Xia Wan pursed her lips and forced a smile. "It's nothing, I was just a little bored."

"I can let Little Grass accompany you for a walk. I'll busy myself first and try to come back earlier today. Be good."

Before Xia Wan could reply, the phone was already hung up by Tang Shaofeng.

She let out a sigh of disappointment as she touched the child in her stomach, feeling an inexplicable loneliness.

A pregnant woman's emotions were the most sensitive. Xia Wan became depressed, but she still had to go to the hospital to check.

Who knew that just as she walked into the courtyard, she found Xiao Muting's car parked outside.

Muttering in his heart about why Xiao Muting was here again, Xia Wan stood at her original spot neither cold nor hot.

After Xiao Muting got off the car, he asked as if nothing had happened: "You're going out? I'll send you off. Isn't it pregnant? "

"No need, I can go by myself." Saying that, Xia Wan walked towards the garage.

With a light smile, Xiao Muting's tone became intrigued, "Are you afraid of me?"

Frowning, Xia Wan unhappily turned around, "Who's afraid of you?"

Clearly aware of Xia Wan's personality, Xiao Muting intentionally teased: "You don't even dare to get into my car, and say you're not afraid of me?"

Seeing that Xiao Muting was getting more energetic, Xia Wan angrily glared at him, then opened the car door and sat down.

Smiling, Xiao Muting asked for the destination and Xia Wan then gave him the address.

Knowing that Xia Wan was going to conduct a maternity examination, Xiao Muting's smile froze, but he did not say anything.

After arriving at the hospital, the distance between the two of them was still very wide. Because, as the examples from before, Xia Wan was almost far away from Xiao Muting.

Xiao Muting didn't really mind as he shamelessly followed Xia Wan.

After the inspection, Xia Wan walked out of the clinic with a slightly better mood.

"Is the child healthy?" As if he had mental skills, Xiao Muting asked calmly.

and Xiao Muting returned to the carriage together.

After arriving at the old house, Xia Wan didn't even say a single unnecessary word, "Thank you for sending me off today."

Although it was just words of thanks, Xia Wan's tone was not sincere at all, it was even a bit perfunctory.

Xiao Muting laughed bitterly, but did not mind. He took something out from the car and followed Xia Wan into the living room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from behind him, Xia Wan halted her steps, and asked with a displeased tone: "Why aren't you leaving?"

"I'm thirsty, come in and have a drink of water." Xiao Muting spoke as if it was natural, as if his relationship with Tang Shaofeng, as well as him, had never broken down.

With Xiao Muting being helpless, Xia Wan impatiently sent him away: "If you've finished drinking, then hurry up and leave. You know that I don't welcome you, why are you still coming over here every two or three days?"

Xiao Muting's eyes dimmed, but he did not say anything. He went to the kitchen to brew a cup of tea for himself, and poured Xia Wan another cup of warm water.

Holding the teacup, Xiao Muting saw that Xia Wan did not even look at the warm water he poured for her, and could not help but have a bitter expression.

"Have you finished?" Xia Wan glanced at the leisurely Xiao Muting, who had his arms crossed, as though he was a kindergarten's child who was angry at a child.

"Aunt, if you keep urging me, my tongue is going to burn." Xiao Muting laughed helplessly, then put down the teacup and stood up, no longer wanting to disturb Xia Wan.

Watching Xiao Muting leave, Xia Wan relaxed her eyebrows, but in her heart she was asking: What is Xiao Muting up to?

She almost complained, but when she raised her head, she discovered that Xiao Muting had returned.

Patting his chest, Xia Wan fiercely retorted: "Are you sick? I was almost scared to death by you!"

"I forgot one thing. You are getting more and more timid." Xiao Muting's tone was thought-provoking, his eyes deep and cloudy.

"Where did all this trouble come from?" "Motherf * cker!"

Xiao Muting handed it over to Xia Wan, his eyes clear. "This is a gift for children, it's a safety lock, I heard that it's better for children to wear silver."
