Lu Chengxiao had met Wei Yuxian and satisfied his curiosity. Seeing that the Madam’s attention was clearly on the TV, he realized that there was no point in him staying any longer. “Well, Master Xuanyi, madam, I’ll take my leave for now and come back another time,” he said.
Wei Yuxian turned her head to look at him again, nodded politely with a smile, and said, “Take care.”
Lu Chengxiao beamed with a bright smile, acknowledged her with an “Okay,” and under Xuanyi’s disapproving gaze, he got up and left. Aunt Fu saw him out.
With no one to disturb her TV watching, Wei Yuxian focused intently on the show, ignoring the man beside her.
After all, she didn’t have much to say to him, so she might as well watch TV.
Yet, his presence was so conspicuous as he sat there.
Wei Yuxian tried her best to ignore his burning gaze, yes, that burning gaze.
Ever since she learned of his feelings, she had been observing him and noticed that he always seemed to fix his gaze on her, with an intensity that was almost scorching.
Yet, his face remained expressionless, as if his facial nerves were underdeveloped, leaving her clueless about his thoughts.
Fu Xuanyi didn’t speak immediately, quietly watching her as she watched TV, her profile just as beautiful.
To make watching TV more comfortable, she was hugging a large rabbit plushie, resting her head on it for support, looking incredibly cute!
The plushie was not only comfortable to hug but also kept her body warm, something Wei Yuxian really enjoyed.
This way, watching TV wasn’t as tiring.
Wei Yuxian mentally distracted herself for a while, and with the engaging TV drama, she quickly pushed the person beside her to the back of her mind.
Fu Xuanyi continued to watch her, as if he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.
He did have something to tell her.
Over the past couple of days, her mood had visibly improved. She was no longer wearing a perpetually sorrowful expression, nor was she randomly bursting into tears.
Additionally, her pregnancy symptoms had lessened significantly, almost disappearing.
All of these were positive signs. Her body was slowly getting better, and her mood was also improving.
He wished he could have discovered what she was going through sooner. If he had, she wouldn’t have been in such a bad mood and might have avoided nearly developing depression.
It was his negligence that had caused her so much distress.
She was a timid person, keeping everything bottled up inside, never asking for help or sharing her problems with others.
But he understood her personality, given the family she grew up in. It was only natural for her to be this way.
Most people who grew up in such families would become self-conscious, with very few managing to build up their self-confidence.
Today, he mainly wanted to talk to her about something important. Because her self-esteem was so low and she lacked confidence, he wanted to help her gradually become more self-assured.
Confidence can be cultivated. With the right guidance and personal effort, it is possible to become more confident.
Judging by her current situation, it might take a very long time for her to become confident. Therefore, to speed up the process, he chose to intervene.
After watching her profile for a while, Fu Xuanyi took off the Buddhist beads from his wrist and began to roll them in his palm, clearing his mind and dispelling distracting thoughts.
“My dear, do you want to become more confident?”
The deep and pleasant voice sounded in her ear, and Wei Yuxian realized that Fu Xuanyi was becoming increasingly different!
In the past, his voice was never this gentle; it was always cold and domineering, leaving no room for negotiation!
Especially that day at the hospital, she remembered how overbearing his tone and attitude were.
Now, in comparison, it was as if he had become a different person.
This change had its pros and cons. The advantage was that she no longer felt her heart skip a beat at the sound of his voice. The disadvantage, however, was that his voice was too gentle and pleasant, making her feel quite uncomfortable listening to it.
At the same time, she came to a conclusion in her mind: love was a magical thing that could make a person act out of character.
But now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. She redirected her attention to what Fu Xuanyi had said.
He asked her if she wanted to become more confident.
Wei Yuxian’s answer was, of course, yes!
She was also aware that her personality was too weak. When faced with problems, she would endure rather than retaliate.
Moreover, she lacked confidence, feeling that she wasn’t good enough and couldn’t measure up to others.
She was deeply conscious of these traits and wanted to change, but she didn’t know how. Unable to find a method or break through her own barriers, she could only remain as she was.
Now, with Fu Xuanyi asking her if she wanted to become more confident, how could she not want to!
Forgetting about the TV drama, she turned her head to look at him, her eyes wide like the little rabbit in her arms, and she whispered, “Yes.”
Hearing this, Fu Xuanyi said, “I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow.”
Wei Yuxian asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
Fu Xuanyi didn’t intend to tell her yet, fearing she might be too scared to go if she knew. “You’ll find out tomorrow,” he said.
Wei Yuxian was incredibly curious, wondering what kind of place could make her more confident. She persisted, “Where is it? Can you tell me now?”
Fu Xuanyi replied, “Not now.”
Wei Yuxian slightly pouted her lips and made a sound of acknowledgment, turning back to the TV with a hint of disappointment.
The once captivating TV drama now seemed a bit dull.
Fu Xuanyi noticed her lowered spirits and the slight pout of her lips. Even when she was in a bad mood, she looked adorable. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he felt a bit thirsty.
Moved by a sudden impulse, he reached out and grasped her chin, pressing his lips to hers before she could react, her eyes wide with surprise.
He pinned her to the sofa, careful to avoid her belly, protecting her waist, and kissed her passionately.
He nibbled at her tender lips as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh!
Wei Yuxian was completely bewildered. She had been wondering why he was turning her head, but before she could figure it out, her mind went blank!
He had kissed her again!
That was the only thought left in Wei Yuxian’s mind.
By the time she came to her senses, Fu Xuanyi had already invaded her mouth, dominating it with his presence.
She was retreating step by step, unable to resist at all!
Once she regained her senses, she tried to push him away, placing her hands on his chest and pushing with all her might. However, her hands were weak and couldn’t muster any strength!
Not only could she not push him away, but she was also being treated even more roughly!
For some reason, a thought flashed through her mind: Fu Xuanyi was like a hungry wolf that had caught its prey and wouldn’t let go once it had.
Wei Yuxian was in danger!
As time passed, her body became increasingly limp, completely softened on the sofa.
Fu Xuanyi’s desire flared up, and he wanted to take the next step.
He had consulted a doctor, who said that after three months, it would be okay. Now, she’s long past that three-month mark.
