Chapter 1272: Speak Less, Sleep More

“Yes, yes, I deserve it. I was born a hunk and my looks attracted the jealousy of others!”
After Qi Yan praised himself shamelessly, he turned around and noticed that Tan Bengbeng still did not look too well. As he walked towards the medicine box, he retrieved a pill and handed it to her.
“Take this first before you sleep.”
“…”
As Tan Bengbeng stared at the medicine before her, a familiar scene flashed past her mind.
She remembered that he had also given her a similar pill the first time she had felt uncomfortable on the cruise ship.
Had he already known about her pregnancy at that time?
She was the only foolish one who thought that her period had come and fallen asleep after having taken her medicine in a daze.
Upon further thinking, Qi Yan was always the one who had pestered her every night to do the deed, but he had not touched her since that incident.
She originally thought that he had changed for the better.
However, it seemed now that it was because he did not dare to anger her after he discovered that she had the symptoms of a threatened abortion.
He had even kept close to her all the time and protected her. Did he do all of that for the baby too?
Tan Bengbeng’s eyes darkened and she swept her gaze past her flat tummy…
Her child had gone even before she could have a taste of how it felt to house a baby in her tummy.
“Qi Yan.”
As Tan Bengbeng spoke in a low voice, her gaze landed on the pill in his hand and her eyes flickered.
“Since the baby is gone, you don’t really have to follow me around anymore…”
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Yan had already lifted his arm and popped the medicine into her mouth.
Tan Bengbeng nearly choked and subconsciously swallowed the pill.
The next second, a cup of water appeared in front of her.
“Don’t speak when you are taking your medicine. Look at how you choked!” Qi Yan brought the cup of water to her mouth and said as a matter of fact.
“??”
She choked because he had suddenly thrown the pill into the mouth!
Tan Bengbeng only realized that she had not finished her previous sentence after she had taken her medicine with the water. Just as she was about to say something, Qi Yan had already pinned her onto the bed.
He covered her properly with the blanket and gently brushed away the fine hairs on her forehead.
Just like he would soothe a baby, he spoke in a low and deep voice.
“Go to sleep, I will be staying here with you.”
An inexplicable sense of security lingered in that simple sentence of his, and Tan Bengbeng wasn’t sure if it was a fleeting feeling or if she was simply too exhausted.
She unknowingly fell asleep after she heard that voice…
Tan Bengbeng’s breathing became well-distributed in no time.
However, her eyebrows remained knitted and it seemed as if she still had something else to worry about in her dreams.
Her lips twitched and she muttered something.
Qi Yan bent over slightly and leaned toward her lips. With a very soft voice, she mumbled incessantly, “Sorry… Sorry…”
Qi Yan’s heart tightened!
He understood what she meant even though she did not specify who she was sorry toward.
She was feeling sorry toward their baby as well, right?
Qi Yan’s devilish eyes turned chilly.
As he stared at her pale face, the hatred in his heart built up into a hurricane and started to spread everywhere…
He gently stroked her tightly knitted eyebrows with his long fingers and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely not let the people who hurt you and the baby off!”
Qi Yan lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead and lips. Then, he lay down beside her and hugged her to sleep.
When Tan Bengbeng woke up, she realized that she was not lying on the bed like usual, but was instead lying sprawled out against Qi Yan’s chest.
She had wrapped one of her arms across his chest…
She blinked her eyes in confusion.
