"Yu Yan..."
How is he supposed to leave his wife who is six months pregnant to go on a mission where his life is endangered.
She stood still at the entrance of his study as she watched him bury his head and sigh deeply in frustration. She already sensed that he is tense even before the guys left but now she is sure it is something very serious.
"Ah..." she winced at the abrupt pain that struck her back. He raised his head at the sound of her wincing, he wasn't expecting her to be at the entrance of his study instead of laying down in bed.
He rushed up to her and supported her waist with a worried expression on his face then he led her to their room from his study.
He tucked her in and placed the support pillow behind her then he went around and laid on the bed, facing her.
"Is something wrong at the company?" she asked in a concerned tone, he sighed in relief that she didn't hear him call the senior colonel even if they didn't say anything to reveal his secret.
He stroked her hair and smiled faintly.
"Just a little problem, I will take care of it soon," he kissed her forehead.
"But you looked really worried back there, are you sure it is not a big deal. I might not be able to help but you know I am a good listener," she knows it is surely not something little or he wouldn't have whispered her name and looked so stressed.
He nodded his head to dispel her worried then he buried her head in his embrace.
She placed her hand on his chest and she could feel it racing, she is now deeply concerned especially when he doesn't want to tell her what is really happening. Instead of disturbing him, she chooses to wait until he is ready to tell her.
"You should sleep, worrying is not good for you," he whispered, she moved a bit closer to him and nodded her head. He might seem like he is much concerned about their baby over her but she knows she is the one he is really worried about.
The next morning, he left for the company earlier than he normally does but he called the old nanny to be with her instead of taking care of the mansion, he also made sure every fruit and snack she might want is provided and he told the old nanny to get more things for her.
She sat with the nanny in the dining as they snacked on dried foods after lying in bed for the entire morning when she finished her routine workout, she kept sighing over and over again as her thoughts keep going back to when he placed his hands at the edge of the desk and lowered his head with his fist clenched last night.
Even when she stresses him, he has never looked like that. She has thought of many things that could have made him seem so worried but she couldn't think of anything plausible and now she is beginning to wonder if she is really stressing him that much with her demands and occasional mood swings.
Sometimes she even bursts out crying for no reason.
"If you keep sighing, you will disturb Little Han Yu," the old nanny remarked jokingly, since that is the name they decided to give the little boy when he is born, everyone has already started calling him that.
She came back to her senses.
"I am just worried that Han Chen might be having a problem he can't deal with,"
The old nanny chuckled. She has never heard of any problem Han Chen has ever had that he couldn't solve.
"If that is what you are thinking about then you don't have to worry, He has always been able to overcome every difficulty that comes his way," she assured and patted her hand reassuringly, Yu Yan smiled in appreciation.
"That reminds me, he asked me to go to the groceries to get more food for you," she stood up.
"But there is already enough in the house, at this rate, I will become fatter than I already am," she talks as if she is not the one with sudden cravings.
The old nanny smiled at her teasingly seeing the guilty look on her face as though she already responded to herself.
"I will be back soon, please don't move around too much,"
"Let's go together, I don't have anything to do at home anyways," she stood up, placing the dried snacks back in the bowl, she hurried to the room to get her coat before the old nanny refuses to let her tag along.
"But you are-"
"I know, I will be careful,"
Instead of taking a car there, they walked to the grocery store where they shopped for a while. The old nanny was only going to get fruit but she ended up buying more things than necessary all because Yu Yan decided to buy them all on a whim.
She held her laughter, remembering how Yu Yan was before she got pregnant. She would always manage everything and never waste food, even when she goes grocery shopping with her, she would make sure they don't spend too much.
"Old nanny, why don't you have some ice cream before we go?" she suggested coyly.
"Are you sure you are not the one who wants to have ice cream, I am already too old for that," she teased, she had already guessed that they won't be going back home without her eating something on the way.
"I will just get soft ice cream for myself, I heard that it is safe for pregnant women," she was going to head to the ice cream shop but the old nanny held her back.
"Just sit here, I will get it for you. If your husband knows I brought you out, he will be angry not to talk of letting you walk around like this," she sat her down with all the groceries then she left to get her the ice cream.
Just then, she heard her phone ring. Her lips spread out into a smile seeing that it is Han Chen calling.
"Hello," she answered.
"Have you eaten?" he asked like he always does when he is at work, she hummed in answer.
"Where are you now?"
Her eyes twitched at the question, she rummaged her brain for a lie to tell.
"I am in bed right now, the morning exercise made tired so I am getting some rest like you said I should after exercising,"
"Is that so, but you are always up by this time, today must be very different,"
"Yes..." she froze when the music at the opposite shop got louder, she quickly covered the speaker of the phone so he doesn't hear the music.
"Is that music I hear?"
"No no no, it is...Uhm..."
"Don't bother lying, I already know you went out with old nanny. I told her not to let you out of the complex but the both of you really don't listen to me and you even went out without letting the driver take you," he sounds like a nagging grandmother.
"How did you find out, are you perhaps watching me right now?" she looked around but couldn't find him.
"The kids dropped by today but they couldn't meet you so they returned. I don't mean to be a controlling husband but the doctor said you have already stressed yourself too much during the first semester and you need to restrict your activeness during this time so please listen to me,"
He sounds very worried and concerned that she can't help feeling guilty, he was very scared when she got really gaunt during the first semester that they had to see the doctor. Her persistence almost caused her pregnancy to be in danger.
"Alright, I won't go out without telling you and if I really need to, I will take the car,"
"I will take your word for it then, do you want me to tell them they can see you tomorrow. Li Na was really sad that she couldn't see you and Han Li even came with them,"
"Really, Han Li came with them?" he sends her things from time to time but it seems like he is still guilty because of how he treated her when Han Chen was still in the hospital so she hasn't seen him face to face for a long time.
"I heard they are in the middle of exams, let them be for now,"
"Alright, don't stay out too long,"
"I won't and you shouldn't get angry at old nanny, I forced her to take me out"
He hummed in acceptance then ended the call after mouthing a kiss, she was still smiling at the screen when her eyes caught a pair of shoes in front of her, she raised her gaze only to find a man standing in a military uniform. His uniform looks like one a fairly high ranking soldier would wear.
He smiled at her but his smile creeped her out.
"How may I help you?" she asked, considering that he doesn't seem to want to speak first.
He stretched out his hand.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
