Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: I Don’t Want to Make You Uncomfortable Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: I Don’t Want to Make You Uncomfortable He placed the foot basin under Jian Yufei’s feet and then squatted down to lift her legs, removing her socks.

Jian Yufei’s feet had been white and thin, but now they were significantly swollen.

Ruan Tianling stroked her swollen instep, his eyes brimming with compassion.

“Does it hurt?” he asked without looking up.

“No, it doesn’t hurt at all,” Jian Yufei laughed.

Although it didn’t hurt, her body was very uncomfortable.

Her constitution had always been rather fragile, and she was thin.

Carrying twins all of a sudden, and two strong little ones at that, was certainly too much for her to handle.

Even though she said nothing, he knew she felt awful every day.

Walking too much would make her uncomfortable, as would sitting too long in one position.

Lying down was uncomfortable, not lying down was still uncomfortable…

Even after waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she would find it impossible to go back to sleep.

Her sleep was always poor, all because she was too uncomfortable.

Especially recently, her belly was expanding like a balloon, at an alarming rate.

The bigger her stomach grew, the more uncomfortable she became.

He saw everything and felt helpless to alleviate any of her suffering.

In the past, he had said he definitely wanted a daughter, and if they only had sons, they would keep trying until they had a daughter.

It was only now he truly understood how much suffering childbirth entailed for a woman.

And how could he selfishly let her suffer alone?

Ruan Tianling placed her feet in the basin and said in a low voice, “After this birth, we won’t have any more.”

Jian Yufei was unaware of his thoughts.

She leaned back on the bed and laughed, “That won’t do, weren’t we supposed to have a daughter? I too want a daughter.”

“No more,” Ruan Tianling’s voice became even deeper, “I do want a daughter, but nothing can compare to you.”

Jian Yufei’s eyes sparkled as she silently watched him.

Ruan Tianling gently washed her feet still without lifting his head.

“Yufei, I don’t want you to go through this pain ever again.”

Jian Yufei smiled with pursed lips, “It’s okay, I don’t mind the suffering if it’s to give you a child.”

“But it matters to me… I don’t want to see you in pain,” Ruan Tianling said firmly.

Jian Yufei fell silent, saying no more.

At that moment, she didn’t want to make him feel any worse.

Ruan Tianling soaked her feet for a while and even did some foot massaging.

After the wash, Jian Yufei felt much better.

She lay in bed, languidly said to Ruan Tianling who was coming out of the bathroom, “There are still more than three months until the due date, my belly is growing larger each day, I will even have trouble bending over. Will you give me a foot bath every day?”

She was just casually asking him, to hear his response.

Ruan Tianling looked at her and said seriously, “I was actually planning on giving you a foot bath every day.”

Jian Yufei’s throat suddenly felt like it was choked with emotion, the discomfort making her want to cry.

Even before they got married, he had insisted on giving her a foot bath every day; she really was being silly asking such an unnecessary question.

Jian Yufei laughed, “When you get old and can’t walk anymore, I’ll give you foot baths.”

Ruan Tianling, smiling as he took out his pajamas, replied, “If I can’t walk anymore, I’m afraid you won’t be able to walk either, right?”

Jian Yufei: “…”

Indeed, his constitution was much better than hers.

She had her suspicions that when they got older, he would still be looking after her.

Ruan Tianling turned and went into the bathroom, while Jian Yufei lay there with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling. Her heart alternating between an urge to laugh with sweetness and an urge to cry with emotion.
