Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1049: Bai Qingyu

Upon hearing Bai Qingyan speak, Xiao Rongyan felt even more guilt in his heart.

His eyes reddened, and he kissed Bai Qingyan’s hand at the lips, whispering, "Kid, don’t worry. When our child is born, I will surely be by your side, just like today, accompanying you, tightly holding your hand!"

"When the child is born, the entire Zhou Kingdom will surely be attentive. How will you appear?" Bai Qingyan chuckled softly, "You really shouldn’t worry too much, focus on the important things!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She gently stroked her abdomen, originally thinking that this child’s arrival was untimely.

But now, it seems that the appearance of this child may allow Xiao Rongyan and Murong Li to take a step back, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Both countries taking a step back and working together to resist the Elephant Army will be the best outcome for the people and soldiers after pacifying Xiliang.

Honestly speaking, hearing this news from Xiao Rongyan did make Bai Qingyan sigh in relief; this was the best birthday gift for her this year.

It wasn’t that Zhou feared clashing with Yan. It was her concern for the people. Fortunately... Yan had an Emperor like Murong Li, who cared deeply for the populace.

Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and planted a kiss on Bai Qingyan’s brow, gently rubbing her shoulders, and placed his broad hand once again on her abdomen: "I will think of a way! They say childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell, and during such a time, I must be by your side. Also, there’s one more thing I hope Kid will agree to... Don’t risk going to the battlefield before giving birth, okay?"

Bai Qingyan raised her head to meet Xiao Rongyan’s deep dark eyes: "I understand..."

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s flawless face, coated in warm candlelight, he couldn’t help but gently stroke her glossy black hair with his fingers, caressing her lips, and lightly planting a kiss, leaving as soon as he touched, afraid of losing control, simply gazing at his beloved in his arms.

Xiao Rongyan always had this aura that made people feel at ease yet utterly captivated, with an outlook that appeared calm but carried an extraordinary sense of aggression.

She traced Xiao Rongyan’s increasingly defined facial features with her gaze, genuinely distressed: "You’ve lost weight..."

Xiao Rongyan squeezed Bai Qingyan’s hand, whispering into her ear: "That surely must be because I missed Kid."

His rich, captivating voice carried warmth, sneaking into her ear, causing the redness at the root of her ear to creep silently.

Noticing Bai Qingyan’s flushed face, Xiao Rongyan, unable to restrain his emotions, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close, and kissed her again, more deeply, caressing her back with the palm of his hand.

The flickering candle flame on the table suddenly emitted a slight spark, prompting Bai Qingyan to turn her head away, evading Xiao Rongyan’s kiss.

Xiao Rongyan did not insist further, afraid that he would lose control if he continued. He pecked Bai Qingyan’s brow and eyes, hugging her again, struggling to steady his heavy breath: "I can’t stay long in the Zhou Imperial Palace..."

"Hmm, I know! I’m already so glad you could come today..." Bai Qingyan said.

"This is my birthday gift to you..." Xiao Rongyan took out an exquisitely carved white jade tiger from his arms. "I started preparing for it last year, but there were just too many things, always causing delays. Luckily, it was completed in time for Kid’s birthday this year."
