From Chi Yunxi's home to Chi Jingxuan's home was only a hundred meters or so, yet Chi Yunxi felt this distance was as unreachable as the horizon, no matter how she walked.
The heaviness of her awkwardly large belly weighed her down, but she didn't want to show even the slightest hint of sadness or cowardice in front of Ye Xiaotian. Holding her belly with both hands, Chi Yunxi took deep breaths while murmuring encouragement to herself and the baby inside her, "Baby, Daddy is fine, Mommy is fine, so the baby must be fine too…"
This distance that would usually take no more than ten minutes to cover felt like it took a century today. When Chi Yunxi finally touched the railing outside the courtyard, she realized she was covered in a layer of sweat, even her forehead was damp.
She opened her mouth to call out "Grandma," but paused when she saw the reddish-brown wooden door of Chi Jingxuan's house.
