During the earliest week of Su Xiaofei’s pregnancy, she wasn’t able to eat anything without throwing up. However, as soon as she passed her twelveth week mark, she was eating more than usual. She had cravings for Braised Short Ribs that she would have seconds whenever her mother brought her some.

Now that she’s reaching her twentieth week, she was starting to get annoyed looking at her reflection because her weight gain was becoming more and more noticeable.

"I’m starting to look like a whale." She groaned. "Do you think I will start walking like a penguin soon?" She asked her husband.

Lu Qingfeng, who was already settled on his side on their bed, lifted his head from the document he was looking at to glance at his very pregnant wife. She was dressed in a loose nightgown that reached past her knees.

"It’s true that you have gained weight, but what does it matter?" His answer only soured Su Xiaofei’s mood, but he continued. "There are two babies growing inside you. It’s only natural for you to gain more weight, Feifei."

"That’s true." Su Xiaofei sighed. "But my tummy isn’t the only thing that’s putting on weight it seems." Gesturing to her arms and thighs to her husband.

"I’m not sure what you’re worried about, Feifei. You are still beautiful in my eyes."

Her cheeks burned red and she turned away from his intense gaze. Ever since her bump started to show, Lu Qingfeng hadn’t touched or become intimate with her. She was starting to wonder if her husband didn’t find her appealing anymore, now that she was bigger.

"It’s nothing you wouldn’t be able to shed once you give birth anyway. I want you to prioritize your health, Feifei."

Lu Qingfeng had read about pregnant women suffering from mood swings, so he tried to be more patient with her.

Su Xiaofei knew what he meant, but it was hard for her not to be bothered by the sudden increase of her weight. She never dared to show her nudity in front of him since her bump started showing. She slipped on her side of the bed and snuggled next to her husband.

"By the way, do you plan to throw a baby shower before giving birth? We only have four weeks left before the girls are out." Lu Qingfeng suddenly asked, effectively making Su Xiaofei forget her worries for a moment.

She groaned as she pushed herself up to a seated position, feeling very much like she was about to pop anytime soon. Now that they knew that they were having girls, the days had been spent on what they should name the twins and how to proceed with their plan for the nursery room.

"You don’t allow me to work anymore and I’m confined in this estate, except when I need to go to the doctor’s appointments. I have nothing but free time, A-Feng, so I guess throwing a baby shower would be fine." She huffed in resignation. Su Xiaofei knew that there was nothing else she could say that could convince her husband to allow her to work and share the burden with her mother at their company.

"As much as I love our girls, they really did arrive in such an unexpected time." She said, gently rubbing her stomach with a smile.

Lu Qingfeng knew her words weren’t meant as criticism, but they still took a jab at his heart anyway. Han Zijun would have been able to completely treat his wife by now if she wasn’t pregnant.

"It’s my fault, Feifei. I should have been more careful. You weren’t quite ready for this."

"Stop apologizing already. They are already here and we can only adjust and live through it. You’re not the one looking like she swallowed a beach ball anyway."

It was Lu Qingfeng’s turn to sigh. He placed the document he was reading on the nightstand and regarded his wife.

"Don’t be so hard on yourself, Feifei. You still look beautiful, and didn’t Brother Han assure you that your weight gain is still normal? It’s a testament of your motherhood. What else must I do for you to believe me, Feifei?" He asked.

"I’ll strive every day to be worthy of you and our daughters. Know that I will never forsake you and our children regardless of the circumstances." He added.

Su Xiaofei lowered her gaze to her stomach and remained silent. Maybe it was just her hormones messing with her brain again. She wasn’t really intent on pushing the blame on her husband.

She took a deep breath. There was no way she would doubt his words now. Lu Qingfeng had proven time and again that he truly loved her. Still, it wasn’t that easy to just rid herself of her feelings about her body. It had really been a challenge when Han Zijun insisted she be put on bed rest weeks ago.

Lu Qingfeng moved closer to her and brought her into his embrace.

"Don’t worry too much, Feifei."

"But you wouldn’t even touch me…"

Su Xiaofei wasn’t planning to voice out those words, so she was shocked as soon as she realized what she had just said. Her face flamed from embarrassment.

Lu Qingfeng pulled away and blinked at her, as if wanting to see if that truly bothered her.

"I didn’t touch you lately not because I don’t find you attractive at all, Feifei. I’m just worried about you and the twins. You are already experiencing some discomfort and I don’t want to add more just because of my sexual needs. Don’t you know how hard it is for me to stay calm when all your softness and scent is all over me. I want you more than you know, Feifei, but I will not endanger you, so I restrained myself."

Su Xiaofei’s jaws hung in disbelief. She really thought that her husband was turned off by her growing figure. It never occurred to her that he still desired her.

"If you don’t believe my words, should I show you then?"

Su Xiaofei gaped at her husband like a fish. Her mind went blank upon hearing those words. However, even before she could respond, Lu Qingfeng’s hand already started their quest on her body while his lips started leaving gentle kisses on her exposed neck. When her back hit the softness of their bed, she finally reacted to his ministrations.

"Wait! I-"

But she wasn’t able to finish her words because Lu Qingfeng claimed her lips with a searing kiss, reminding her once again of what she’d been missing over the past weeks. He sucked on her bottom lip sensually until he pulled a little moan from her. When he pulled away and gazed at her, watching as the heat in his eyes brought a blush to her cheeks, he smiled.

"If you will allow me, I will have you tonight, Wife."

"But.. but I don’t look good…"

She squeaked and then moaned when she felt his hand run up her thigh and gently ran over the seam of her underwear before tracing up to where he knew her sensitive bud would be and drew circles on it.

Then his lips went back to hers. This time, she reached up and cupped the back of his neck, bringing him closer to her. The sensation of his kiss and his touch were enough to ignite the desire in her. She went to her knees and pushed him to lie down.

She moved to sprawl over his body this time, switching places with him, her lips peppering his face with kisses while her hands lifted the seam of his shirt, tugging it up and off of him. She then began kissing the passage down - starting from his chin to his collarbone, then down to every inch of his pale flesh that was bare before her. She then glanced over the bulge of his pants. It was sizable, but still not stiff enough to her liking.

"Someone’s getting excited."

Lu Qingfeng wanted to reach out and touch her, but he suppressed his urges and allowed her to take the lead. He feared that he might get too rough with her, considering her frail condition.

Totally disarranged, he froze when she reached down, her tongue licking its way to his navel before feeling her pull down the sleep pants he was wearing, dipping her hand to bring his masculine appendage and erection up to view. She then grasped its circumference with one hand, rolling the semi-hard length between her fingers.

While Lu Qingfeng tried his best not to sit up and touch her, Su Xiaofei continued pleasuring him, her hands moving up and down his entire thick length, enjoying how he tried to stifle a moan.

"It’s been far too long don’t you think, dear?"

"Y-yes." He easily agreed with her and she smiled when he shivered beneath her. She could’ve sworn that she saw goosebumps rise, but they disappeared quicker than she thought possible.
