Chapter 783 Make Me a Father
Bai Jingshu thought An Xia had already fallen asleep, so he gently closed the door and tip-toed inside when he returned to the room, only to find An Xia playing with his phone.
At that, he quirked a brow, walked over, and snatched the phone from her.
"I thought you were exhausted. Why aren't you asleep?"
"Hey!" An Xia sat up immediately. She was watching a funny tweet and was caught off guard when Bai Jingshu unexpectedly took the phone away.
"Give me the phone. Let me finish watching!"
She was sleepy initially, but since he hadn't returned for a long time, she took his phone and started browsing around, getting more awake as she looked at different things.
"Go to sleep." Bai Jingshu glanced at her and casually tossed the phone aside before taking off his clothes and lying down.
An Xia pouted, turned her back to him, and pulled the blanket over her head. She looked very childish, showing no sign of the fear she experienced when being kidnapped.
At that, Bai Jingshu reached out and pulled her into his arms, his lips lightly pressed against her ear as he whispered, "Turn around and look at me."
"I'm going to sleep. Why should I look? I've seen you enough."
"Turn around and let me look at you then," he reiterated, cooing.
An Xia turned around slowly and hugged him, closing her eyes as sleepiness began taking over.
Bai Jingshu reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, then held her a little tighter, asking, "Were you scared?"
"A little." An Xia's drowsy voice came.
Bai Jingshu fell silent and kissed her from her forehead down. "It will never happen again."
Silence responded to him, and he looked down to find his beloved had already fallen asleep.
At that, he gazed at her for a long time before finally falling asleep alongside her.
...
An Xia woke up in the middle of the night without a clue of the exact time as the room was pitch black. When she reached out to her side, she found no one there.
"Bai Jingshu?" She sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and the dim light illuminated the room, making things clearer in her sight.
A tall figure approached, and when Bai Jingshu was almost at the bedside, he said, "Awake?"
An Xia was startled. "Why didn't you turn on the light? What time is it now?"
"It's almost 1 a.m." Bai Jingshu sat down by the bed.
He had changed into loungewear, and there was a hint of the scent of shower gel on him.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
"It's fine. I'll go downstairs." An Xia lifted the blanket, and while getting out of bed, she couldn't help grumbling, "It's not like I just gave birth."
Bai Jingshu smirked knowingly, but An Xia didn't notice it.
It was quiet in the Bai Residence at this late hour, as everyone else had already gone to sleep.
The two of them made their way to the kitchen, where Aunt Liu had left them plenty of food, all of it rich and sumptuous.
An Xia smiled happily. "Oh, I love Aunt Liu."
"I'll heat them up. You wait outside." Bai Jingshu picked up the dishes and put them in the microwave while urging An Xia to go outside.
Naturally, An Xia obliged.
It was almost 2 a.m. by the time they finished their meal.
An Xia, feeling satisfied, went upstairs but found it difficult to fall asleep once she returned to the room.
Bai Jingshu turned off the light and pulled her into his arms. "Sleep. We'll visit Muchen and the others tomorrow."
"I can't sleep." An Xia tugged at the blanket. She really wasn't sleepy anymore.
"Let's do something else then." Bai Jingshu's voice sounded somewhat seductive in the pitch-black room.
"What do you have in mind?" An Xia replied, only to realize belatedly what Bai Jingshu meant.
She truly wasn't sleepy. After having eaten to her heart's content and knowing she was safe, the mischievous side of her emerged, and she provocatively replied to Bai Jingshu, "Let's do it then!"
This woman!
Bai Jingshu was only trying to scare her. Considering what had happened, he wanted to give her some time to relax and hadn't actually intended to do anything. But she had to go and provoke him instead of accepting his affection.
Bai Jingshu's hand, which was holding her waist, slid beneath her clothes skillfully, and his voice became hoarse. "Don't beg for mercy later."
"Be gentle then—" An Xia pleaded softly.
Alas, before she could finish her sentence, Bai Jingshu had already flipped over and removed her clothes.
Kisses rained down like raindrops, accompanied by Bai Jingshu's husky voice. "What if you're not content with me being gentle?"
An Xia would be lying if she said she hadn't regretted it at this point. She shouldn't have provoked Bai Jingshu.
He was in the prime of his youth, and since they met, he hadn't been with any other woman. His demand was indeed a bit overwhelming for her.
An Xia chickened out and pleaded softly, "Just once, please…"
"How is once enough?!"
"No, no, it's enough! Once is more than enough!" An Xia was close to tears. She really didn't want to discuss this with Bai Jingshu at all.
She could only be grateful that the lights were off; otherwise, she would have had no place to hide her embarrassment.
Of course, Bai Jingshu wouldn't stop after just once, but he also didn't go overboard. However, he deviated from his usual style and didn't use too many tricks. He seemed unusually eager and quickly got to the point.
They hadn't done it many times, as Bai Jingshu felt bad for her. He always took his time with foreplay, guiding her, but this time he didn't.
Afterward, An Xia felt all sweaty and wet, and Bai Jingshu wasn't in a much better state either.
Feeling uncomfortable with the stickiness, An Xia moved her body and grumbled discontentedly, "Let go of me."
Instead, Bai Jingshu held her even tighter.
He leaned down and kissed An Xia, saying, "Make me a father, will you? Whether a girl or a boy, an adorable child like Zixi would be nice."
An Xia's heart stirred. This was the first time Bai Jingshu had mentioned wanting a child.
Though they had already obtained their marriage certificate and were legally married, she had felt a bit unreal during this time, as if she were floating, like in a dream.
Bai Jingshu's mood slightly dampened when An Xia hesitated, and he said, "If you don't want to have one now—"
"Okay," An Xia replied before he could finish his sentence.
"Really?" Bai Jingshu couldn't hide the joy in his voice. He kissed An Xia's lips heavily and said, "Let's go another round."
No more. I want to sleep!
…
The next day, An Xia and Bai Jingshu met up with Su Ziyue and her family at the hotel.
When the two entered the hotel room, they found Qin Zixi and Qin Muchen sitting face to face, staring at each other without moving, their eyes seemingly filled with hostility.
"What's going on with them?" An Xia whispered to Su Ziyue, who felt rather helpless upon recollecting the reason.
At that, she said irritably, "They argued in the morning over who gets to squeeze the toothpaste for me. I did it myself in the end, but it came to this. They've been at it for over ten minutes now…"
An Xia genuinely couldn't figure out how a thirty-year-old man and a three-year-old child could argue over something as trivial as squeezing toothpaste.
