Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 578 - 577 She can’t be selfish_1

When Lu Qingyi woke up, she felt a hand around her waist. With a start, she opened her eyes wide and jabbed her elbow backwards hard.

"Hiss."

A muffled groan came from behind.

Lu Qingyi sat up, staring at Xu Boyan, who was holding his face. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Was it...deserved or...deserved?

"Hey, kid, trying to murder your own husband?"

Xu Boyan also sat up, his lips curling up in a soft smile as he spoke.

The kiddo sure didn’t hold back.

"When did you arrive?"

Lu Qingyi glanced at Xu Boyan. There was surprise, yes, but more than that, it was a shock.

Imagine, you’re alone in a hotel room, you fall asleep because you’re tired, and when you wake up, suddenly there’s a hand around your waist. Wouldn’t anyone’s first reaction be fear?

And the first instinct would be to throw a punch at the owner of that hand, right?

No wonder Lu Qingyi reacted so fiercely.

"About half an hour ago, had the front desk open the door," Xu Boyan said gently, stroking Lu Qingyi’s head.

Upon seeing Lu Qingyi safe and sound, he let down his guard. He didn’t have the heart to wake the sleeping Lu Qingyi, so he decided to just lie down with her.

His little lady must be exhausted, sleeping so soundly.

"Next time, I’ll break your head," Lu Qingyi said bluntly, glaring at Xu Boyan.

Perhaps pregnancy was taking its toll. She felt weaker than usual.

"Calm down, there won’t be a next time."

Xu Boyan chuckled softly and reached out to massage Lu Qingyi’s shoulders.

"Grrr..."

A sudden noise broke the silence, making them both feel awkward.

Lu Qingyi rubbed her stomach, "I’m hungry."

"Let’s go, what do you want to eat?" chuckled Xu Boyan, "Can’t let my baby go hungry."

"So, who’s your baby - me or the child in my belly?" Lu Qingyi asked with a playful glint in her eye.

"Both of you are my babies. The mother of my child is my top priority and the person I love the most."

Xu Boyan bent down and kissed Lu Qingyi’s lips lightly, before he quickly escaped, as quick as a dragonfly skimming the water.

She was the only one that mattered to him. Lu Qingyi was his most important priority.

"Do you want hot pot or spicy food, or just some home-cooked dishes?"

Xu Boyan lightly rubbed Lu Qingyi’s head as he gently asked, his voice warm and indulgent.

Lu Qingyi: "Hot pot."

Xu Boyan took Lu Qingyi to a hot pot restaurant not far from the hotel.

——

After eating out, Xiaoxie and Xiaojin returned with the dumplings they had brought back for Lu Qingyi. They didn’t know what she actually liked.

However, back when they were conducting experiments for the medical organization, Lu Qingyi always asked them to bring back dumplings, so they figured she might like them.

"She should be awake by now, right?"

Xiaoxie and Xiaojin stood outside Lu Qingyi’s room, Xiaoxie said.

It was getting dark outside, and the lights were off in her room. Xiaoxie wasn’t sure.

"Maybe," Xiaojin replied, then knocked on the door. No answer came even after several knocks. It was eerily silent.

"Let’s call her."

Xiaoxie suggested. He left his phone with Lu Qingyi.

Xiaojin took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered until the call ended. Xiaoxie put his ear to the door and could hear the ringtone echoing in the room.

"She must not be up yet."

Xiaoxie surmised, and the two of them decided to return to their rooms.

"Xu Boyan, I really want to eat shrimp."

Lu Qingyi looked at the red soup base in front of her, then at the enticing shrimps on the menu, and smacked her lips.

She really wanted to eat it.

Those who didn’t know her well would never guess that the seemingly icy Lu Qingyi was actually a total foodie.

She might be picky, but she loved to eat.

"Sweetheart, don’t forget you’re pregnant," Xu Boyan gently reminded, as his hand landed lightly and soothingly on Lu Qingyi’s head.

His silly girl.

"Xu Boyan, you really don’t have to worry about me that much. I’m an adult, I know how to gauge my actions."

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan intently and spoke earnestly.

’What Lu Qingyi was indicating was not about the shrimp, but something else.

"Silly girl, of course I support your efforts to save lives and I’m proud of you for wanting to do so. But this disease spreads easily and you’re pregnant; of course, I’m scared," Xu Boyan gently shook his head and sighed.

Yes, he was being selfish. He couldn’t bear to see his girl suffer, be hurt, or...

And he was afraid. Very afraid, in fact.

Lu Qingyi’s pregnancy signals were unstable.

"Xu Boyan, you know me."

Lu Qingyi looked down as her hands rested on her belly, moving restlessly. She was quite stubborn.

Many people said Lu Qingyi was cold-hearted. But few knew of her desire to save anyone and everyone she could.

She could act indifferent to everyone, but she could never be indifferent deep down.

"If it comes down to it, I might give up my child, but I can’t stand aside, watching people die."

Lowering her eyes, Lu Qingyi looked down at her slightly swollen belly. She spoke in a cold and emotionless voice.

If she loses her child, she could always have another one later. She could even use in vitro fertilization. With the advancement in medical technology, it’s no big deal.

But she couldn’t stand by and watch people suffer without taking action. The sacrifice of a fetus that wasn’t fully-formed yet in exchange for many lives, it was worth it.

And it wasn’t necessarily true that she would lose the child.

"Okay, I’ll be with you," Xu Boyan smiled gently. His understanding of Lu Qingyi allowed him to see her inner kindness. Maybe he was the one who was too selfish.

"Thank you."

Looking up, Lu Qingyi gave him a small smile. She was glad Xu Boyan understood her.

"I’ll always be with you, no matter what."

Xu Boyan’s voice was soft and filled with love.

That’s right, he would always be there with her.

"You don’t need to thank me. We are husband and wife, partners for life. There’s no need for thank you’s."

After a brief pause, Xu Boyan spoke again, his voice as sweet as honey.

"Okay."

Lu Qingyi smiled. A radiant smile.

Meeting Xu Boyan was the luckiest thing that had happened to her in her three lives.

The ice broken, the rest of their hot pot meal was very enjoyable. Lu Qingyi’s appetite was good, she ate a lot.

Xu Boyan didn’t really eat much, most of the time he was just picking food for Lu Qingyi
