âJust leave it to me. Just like we agreed some time ago, let nature take its course. But if you donât really hate me, I beg you not to say things like separating easily. Have more confidence in me, okay?â Liang Xunâs voice was gentle and low.
Jing Yao cried so hard that her throat tightened. After calming down for a long time, she barely said a complete sentence. âBut this is unfair to you. Youâll be very tired. Besides, you can clearly meet better people.â
Liang Xun lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. He said firmly, âItâs up to me to decide if itâs fair or not. Moreover, I donât feel tired. On the contrary, I quite enjoy this process. If youâre so easily wooed by me, we wonât even have anything to talk about when weâre old. As for better people, itâs useless no matter how good they are. I only like you. No matter how good the others are, theyâre not you.â
Jing Yao did not speak and continued to cry.
Liang Xun was a little worried. If she continued crying, she would lose too much water. It was not good for her health.
âWhy are you still crying?â Liang Xun asked as he stroked Jing Yaoâs back.
Jing Yao sniffed and whispered, âI canât stop.â
Liang Xun was caught between laughter and tears. If it were anyone else crying like this, he would have been impatient long ago. However, he felt that Jing Yao was pitiful and cute when she cried. However, his heart ached in the end.
Liang Xun patted her back and comforted her softly. He told her to slowly control her breathing and finally stopped.
After leaving Liang Xunâs arms, Jing Yaoâs nose was red from crying, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Liang Xun wiped her tears and said in a low voice, âLetâs go. Iâll find something for you to apply when we get back. Otherwise, your eyes will definitely hurt tomorrow.â
Jing Yao was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and walked in with him.
âZhu Sui said that pregnant womenâs emotions will fluctuate more during pregnancy. They might be joking one second and crying the next. Itâs very normal.â Liang Xun took the initiative to find a way out for her.
Jing Yao nodded but still didnât say anything.
When she got home, Liang Xun wrapped ice in a towel and helped her apply it to her eyes. Jing Yao lay on the sofa, her warm eyes touching the cold towel. It was so comfortable that she wanted to sigh, but she tried her best to hold it in when she thought that Liang Xun was still around.
Liang Xunâs movements were gentle. He thought of something and suddenly said, âItâs your birthday soon. How do you want to celebrate it?â
Jing Yao stiffened slightly and said softly, âI donât want to celebrate.â
Liang Xun knew that it must have something to do with those people from the Jing Family. If it was in the past, he would definitely not ask them and make things difficult for her. However, Tang Jin said that he should chat with Jing Yao more. As time passed and Jing Yao was willing to tell him something that she had suppressed in her heart for a long time, Jing Yaoâs condition would slowly improve.
Keeping everything in her heart would only suffocate her.
âWhy havenât you thought about it?â Liang Xun asked.
Jing Yao pursed her lips and did not speak.
Liang Xun thought for a moment and said, âThe reason why we commemorate birthdays is not because we want a gift, but because this is a very important day for everyone. It commemorates the life we obtained many years ago today and lets us learn to respect our lives.â
Liang Xun said a lot. If anyone else was present, their jaws would definitely drop. He usually didnât talk much. What he said to Jing Yao just now was almost equivalent to what he had said for an entire day in the past.
Jing Yao curled her fingers slightly and whispered, âI had the same birthday as Jing Yuan. When I was young, she would show off in front of me on every birthday. She even said that my birth was wrong, so no one in the family liked me. Because of me, Zhang Li almost died in childbirth.â
Liang Xun paused, his eyes filled with anger and hostility. Jing Yao couldnât be blamed for this.
âThat is their problem and has nothing to do with you. Since you have already left the Jing Family, there is no need to think about what happened in the past. How about I hold a birthday banquet for you?â Liang Xun asked.
Jing Yao still shook her head. âI donât want a birthday banquet.â
Liang Xun nodded. âThen itâll be a simple celebration at home. Weâll only invite Shen Yu and Zhu Sui. Theyâre all people youâre familiar with.â
Jing Yao knew Liang Xunâs good intentions and finally nodded.
Actually, Jing Yao was afraid of birthdays because her family would hold a huge birthday banquet for Jing Yuan every day. Jing Yuan would wear a birthday crown and stand in the crowd like a little princess to receive other peopleâs blessings.
And she could only lurk in a corner and accept the malicious looks from the others..
