My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 453: Unfounded Panic

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Unfounded Panic

"I did not! I was just, I was clearly thinking about something just now!"

Chu Nanli naturally felt a bit embarrassed to admit the truth in front of Lin Xuanxuan.

But perhaps it was because Ye Jiuxiao had been considerately keeping her company during this time, and now that she hadn’t seen him for several days, she naturally felt somewhat unaccustomed.

It was only a little bit though!

It’s not like she couldn’t live without Ye Jiuxiao.

"I didn’t say anything, but in my view, after you give birth to the child, it shouldn’t be long before we drink to your and his happiness, right?"

Lin Xuanxuan had finally caught Chu Nanli’s "weak spot" and naturally wanted to take the opportunity to tease her thoroughly.

"When that time comes, don’t forget to send an invitation to me."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chu Nanli knocked her lightly, not too pleased, and then continued, "What about the matters of the Prime Minister Residence you were just speaking of, where did you leave off?"

"There, I said you weren’t listening to me."

Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help but mutter, but she repeated the events that had occurred in the Prime Minister Residence over the last two days to Chu Nanli.

Her guess was indeed not wrong, after giving birth to a male child, Concubine Li’s demeanor had become even more brazen.

Fortunately, Lin Xuanxuan was prescient, knowing that she and her daughter would not stop at anything, and had wisely sent the Prime Minister’s wife back to her parental home ahead of time.

If the Prime Minister’s wife were still at the Prime Minister Residence, who knows what kind of trap they would have set for her.

And her foolish father only had eyes for his son and didn’t care about anything else.

"Now, things have quieted down at least, but now that she has a son, I fear she won’t be able to completely calm down."

Lin Xuanxuan knew that the most permanent solution would have been to eliminate the child while Concubine Li was still pregnant.

But she and the Prime Minister’s wife were not evil people, and they could not bring themselves to commit such a heinous act.

If they had done such a thing, what difference would there be between them and Lin Fuying?

"That’s good," Chu Nanli nodded at her, "If there’s anything you need help with, just come and ask me."

As she spoke, she involuntarily furrowed her brows and felt an inexplicable sense of panic rising within her.

Lin Xuanxuan looked at her with concern, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing."

Chu Nanli waved her hand, but her face still didn’t look very good.

"Maybe it’s because I didn’t rest well last night, that I’m feeling this way."

She didn’t know what was wrong with her these past days; ever since Ye Jiuxiao left the capital, she kept falling into this inexplicable panic.

At first, she thought there was a problem with the child in her womb, and she even used the equipment in her space to perform a full-body check on herself.

But the results showed that not only was the child in her womb extremely healthy, but even the original host’s previously frail body had improved a lot since her arrival, at least no longer as deficient as before.

Since it wasn’t due to her body, she couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

Unless, something had happened to Ye Jiuxiao?

But Ye Jiuxiao had been away from the capital for several days, and with the current state of communication technology, it was impossible for her to contact him and know his situation so quickly.

"How can it just be lack of sleep? Are you sure you haven’t encountered some trouble?"

Seeing her state, Lin Xuanxuan was even more worried.

She cautiously looked at Chu Nanli, "It’s not that Ye Yunting guy causing you trouble again, is it?"

Lin Xuanxuan’s current perception of Ye Yunting completely turned for the worse.

Before she met Chu Nanli, she had heard many heroic stories about Ye Yunting and her impression of him was quite good.

But what she didn’t expect was that the real Ye Yunting would be such a petty and selfish man.

On the contrary, the notoriously fierce Ye Jiuxiao in reality was an utterly upright gentleman and not the monstrous villain rumor made him out to be.

"No," Chu Nanli shook her head, "I indeed haven’t been sleeping well these past few days, but it’s just an occasional thing, it shouldn’t be a problem."

After all, she had checked and the child in her womb hadn’t been affected.

Regarding Ye Jiuxiao’s side of things, she trusted his abilities.

Thus, at present, she could only attribute her emotional changes to the uncertainty that sprang from nearing childbirth.

There was no other way to explain it.

"Even if it’s just poor sleep, that’s still a big issue, you’re only a month away from giving birth, your own health is the most important."

Lin Xuanxuan naturally worried about her current state.

Though she didn’t understand medical arts, she knew it was definitely important to keep Chu Nanli in good spirits during such times.

"How about this, I’ll stay with you today, and if you can’t sleep well again at night, I can at least keep you company and talk."

Lin Xuanxuan thought very considerately; although she couldn’t be of much help, chatting with Chu Nanli was within her capabilities.

If Chu Nanli did have any grievances bottled up inside, being able to talk about them might be a way to relieve the stress.

Her intentions were indeed good, but she clearly forgot about her current status.

She was still an unmarried girl, and even if her father, the Prime Minister, did not pay much attention to her, how could he permit her to stay out all night?

Lin Xuanxuan herself did not realize this until Chu Nanli pointed it out, and only then did she remember.

She looked annoyed, "That’s true, even if I want to stay here, the residence surely wouldn’t agree."

Not to mention anything else, but if her father heard about this, he would definitely find an opportunity to scold her.

She didn’t want to be scolded for no reason, as it would only worsen her mood.

But before leaving, Lin Xuanxuan still clenched Chu Nanli’s hand firmly, emphasizing that if there was even a hint of discomfort in her heart, she should send someone to inform her at the Prime Minister Residence.

Now that Ye Jiuxiao was not in the capital, she naturally had to take good care of Chu Nanli in Ye Jiuxiao’s stead.

Although, before leaving the capital, Ye Jiuxiao had not specifically entrusted this matter to her.

If possible, Ye Jiuxiao would rather she stayed away from Chu Nanli.

To prevent her from being a bad influence on Chu Nanli.

If Lin Xuanxuan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.

When did she ever lead Chu Nanli astray? She herself was unaware of it.

In fact, if Chu Nanli’s discomfort was evident enough for Lin Xuanxuan to notice, then the servants attending to her had certainly noticed it much earlier.

Yanyan was even more worried than anyone.

"My lady, how about I stay with you tonight instead?"

"You haven’t slept well for several consecutive nights; if this continues, I’m really worried that the little master in your womb won’t hold up!"

Yanyan stared at Chu Nanli’s belly, her worry escalating.

Childbirth was extremely perilous for women, and if Chu Nanli were to suffer any mishap due to distress at this critical juncture, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
