RMM -Chapter 138 Someone’s Sweet Words

Su Ruo heard Xi Yuechen’s footsteps approaching and panicked, not knowing what to do.

“C-Can you… go out first? I’ll be done in a moment.”

Her tone softened involuntarily, just hoping he would stop and leave—she really didn’t want him to see her like this.

Xi Yuechen ignored her plea. In just two steps, he was behind her. Luckily, the shower hadn’t been turned on yet, so there was no risk of her clothes getting wet.

Since becoming pregnant, Su Ruo usually showered rather than taking baths, especially now with her belly so big.

When Xi Yuechen came in, Su Ruo was about to wash her hair, her hands covered in shampoo, water turned off.

At that moment, she was in a very awkward state—head full of foam, hands messy, not wearing a stitch of clothing, and no running water to block Xi Yuechen’s gaze.

Why hadn’t she locked the door?! Su Ruo cursed inwardly. Showering in her own bathroom had never made her think about locking the door.

“Sir, can you go out first? I’ll be done soon.”

She thought Xi Yuechen had come in because he wanted to shower himself and hadn’t been able to wait. Still struggling, she tried to persuade him.

Xi Yuechen thought she was just shy, a little embarrassed. How could she still be shy after all this time? Little did he know, Su Ruo’s reaction stemmed from insecurity.

“It’s fine. Let’s wash together.”

In an instant, Xi Yuechen made a bold, unprecedented decision. Su Ruo was utterly shocked—what on earth was he thinking?!

When he was cold and distant, he was like an iceberg—freezing, unmovable, impossible to expect any romantic gestures from him. And now this?!

He had been acting unusual since the afternoon: helping her upstairs, teasing her with words, and now he wanted a “lovers’ bath.”

Su Ruo suddenly felt like Xi Yuechen must be off his medication.

“No, no! Sir, I’ll wash alone. Two people is… uncomfortable.” She almost cried. Was he punishing her for losing her temper earlier?

No way… that was just a little thing. He wouldn’t hold a grudge over it, right? Her commander isn’t petty like that.

“It’s my fault earlier. I shouldn’t have gotten angry. You can name the baby whatever you want—I shouldn’t have interfered.” Now, she didn’t care about the little matter of whether the baby was small or not. First, she had to get this deity out of her bathroom.

“Shower, or you’ll catch a cold later.”

Xi Yuechen ignored her apology, frowning. Standing naked, he wasn’t worried about the cold.

Hearing the rustle of him removing clothes behind her, Su Ruo froze. He really intended to take a “lovers’ bath” with her?

Even in the past, Su Ruo wouldn’t have been so open, let alone now with her current figure. Her belly was so big, she didn’t even like looking at it herself. It was absurd and unattractive, like a flesh-colored balloon inflated too much.

If the commander saw her like this… wouldn’t he lose all interest?

Naked, she couldn’t hide anything. Clothes at least offered some concealment; now everything was on full display.

“No! Go out! I want to wash alone!”

Xi Yuechen didn’t understand why she reacted so strongly. After countless intimate moments together, why avoid this?

Ignoring her protests, Xi Yuechen, who always lived by his principles, quickly removed his clothes.

“Come here, I’ll wash your hair.”

Also naked, he called out to Su Ruo, who was still covered in foam, intending to wash her hair himself.

Even the slowest-witted person would now realize he was determined to shower together. Hearing his voice, Su Ruo didn’t respond.

When she turned, seeing her huge belly reflected back, all sense of dignity vanished…

Su Ruo looked at her belly, wanting to cry. It was so unappealing she couldn’t even face Xi Yuechen.

Xi Yuechen noticed her unease but didn’t understand why she was facing away.

Even standing naked in the high-temperature bathroom, she wouldn’t get cold, yet he was puzzled by her hesitant avoidance. What had he done to upset her?

“Come on, don’t just stand there.”

He knew waiting for her to act first would only waste time. Reaching out, he gently turned her body to face him.

No use fighting fate, Su Ruo thought, lowering her head, heart racing.

“If you dare dislike me… I’ll never talk to you again!”

Unbeknownst to her, Xi Yuechen actually found her pregnant belly fascinating. Her once slender frame made her now-six-months pregnant belly appear delicate, almost petite.

To Xi Yuechen, Su Ruo looked beautiful in every way.

Clearing his gaze from her high, smooth curves, he spoke, a little awkwardly, “Why are you still so slow? Is your hair washed yet?”

Xi Yuechen meant it casually, just worried she’d catch a cold, but Su Ruo’s heart surged with emotion.

She felt wronged and hurt, disappointment welling up. She lowered her head, letting him wash her hair, seething inwardly.

“You go out and let me wash alone!” Her voice was muffled, tinged with loss.

Xi Yuechen was confused—what was her moodiness about? He ignored her again, adjusting the shower temperature and saying, “Lean your head over, eyes closed.”

Reluctantly, Su Ruo obeyed, resting her hands on his strong waist, closing her eyes.

Her hair had grown long over the past six months, straight and glossy like a black waterfall, soft and smooth to the touch.

To avoid discomfort from her bent posture, Xi Yuechen moved quickly, rinsing off all the foam.

Su Ruo thought that was it, but then Xi Yuechen seemed intent on continuing the bath—startling her.

“What are you doing?!”

“I’m washing,” he said matter-of-factly, reaching for the shower gel.

She knew what he meant, but he was trying to wash her?!

She stepped back, hands against his chest to block him.

Seeing her defensive gaze, Xi Yuechen’s face darkened. He realized she wasn’t being stubborn; she was resisting.

Her resistance confused and unsettled him.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, taking a deep breath, restraining himself, though he was far from calm.

Forget rationality—if Su Ruo were heavily pregnant, he wouldn’t remain calm.

Hearing his tone, Su Ruo felt his restraint. How could he not want to see her body?

Anger overwhelmed reason. “I said go out! If you don’t want to see me like this, fine! I didn’t force you!”

Her chest heaved, eyes red, hands thumping his chest.

Xi Yuechen stayed silent, surprised by her outburst. But his annoyance vanished, replaced by amusement.

He laughed, unable to control it.

Su Ruo acknowledged that even his icy smile was stunning, but there was no time to appreciate it—she was even angrier.

“Still laughing? Go out! I don’t want to see you!” She turned away, upset, refusing to look at him.

Xi Yuechen saw she was truly upset, put on a calm expression, and gently turned her body to face him again.

She struggled in vain, forcing her face away to avoid looking at him.

With patience, he adjusted her face to meet his eyes. “Silly,” he said with a smile.

Finally understanding her unusual behavior, he felt both amused and helpless. Her little head was full of nonsense all day long.

How could he ever dislike her? Especially now, glowing more than ever, he couldn’t get enough.

“You’re the silly one!” Su Ruo thought bitterly, restraining herself.

“I don’t dislike you. You’re not unattractive at all,” Xi Yuechen comforted her, stroking her like a flustered cat.

Su Ruo glanced at him but didn’t believe it, turning her head away.

“You’re a fool. Your belly isn’t unattractive at all—I love it.”

Phew… dizzy…

Su Ruo was truly shocked. All her disappointment vanished. Heaven, Xi Yuechen was… speaking sweet words?!
