The baby slapped me, and I said, "Sit on my lap and slap me."

Chapter 124 We are two individuals

Su Qingyao turned her head to look at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"A month?"

She frowned slightly, her tone conveying disapproval.

"That's been too long, and I don't feel uncomfortable at all anymore. I feel much better too."

Seeing the particularly worried look on Wen Yu's face because of the last accident, Su Qingyao softened her voice, with a reassuring tone.

I know you're worried about me, afraid that something bad might happen to me again.

"Didn't you say that Song Yunyan had been taken care of and sent in? The school, especially the laboratory building, has strengthened its identity verification and security measures after this incident."

She gently covered his hands that were wrapped around her waist. "I can't just stay at home all the time. I need to finish my studies and move forward with my research projects."

In Wen Yu's heart, a dark and obsessive voice was raging wildly.

Why not?

absolutely okay.

Let's build this place into the perfect fortress, and bring in everything the baby needs.

He can hire the most famous physicists and build the most advanced private laboratories...

The baby only needs to look at him and stay by his side.

He perfectly suppressed these frenzied thoughts beneath a docile facade.

Wen Yu lowered his eyes, his thick, long eyelashes casting a small, fragile shadow on his eyelids. His lips pursed slightly, revealing a pitiful, aggrieved, and helpless look.

He pulled her closer, conveying a silent affection and a hidden unease.

Su Qingyao's heart softened, and her original insistence wavered a little.

She sighed helplessly, raised her hand and ruffled his slightly messy hair. "Fine, fine, I just can't do anything with you."

She compromised, "A few more days of rest are fine, but a month is too long. My experimental progress can't wait."

Su Qingyao extended her slender white index finger and gestured in front of him, "At most one week. After one week, I have to go back to school."

A dark glint flashed in Wen Yu's eyes, so fast it was almost impossible to catch.

He pulled her closer to him, resting his chin on the top of her soft hair, and spoke with a teasing tone that seemed to take advantage of her.

"A week is still too short, baby."

"You forgot? Your birthday is at the beginning of next month."

Wen Yu stared into her clear eyes, his voice softening further.

"How about we rest until after your birthday? This is your first birthday since we got together, and I want to spend quality time with you and give you a perfect birthday."

I want you to belong only to me, and on that day, to think only of me.

Su Qingyao was slightly taken aback.

Since the family tragedy, her birthdays have mostly been celebrated simply and hastily, and sometimes she even forgets them herself.

Thinking that this year's birthday will no longer be a lonely occasion for her, but rather that her beloved has been thinking of her and making careful preparations, a warm current mixed with sweetness washes over her heart.

Looking at her reflection in Wen Yu's eyes, Su Qingyao's last bit of resolve melted away.

A smile played on her lips as she gently nodded in his arms. "Okay~ then I'll rest until after my birthday."

She added, poking his chest with her fingertip.

"However, you must hand over your class notes and experimental data from these past few days to me on time and in full, without fail."

Wen Yu tightened his arms, his voice filled with undisguised satisfaction and joy, "Okay, whatever you say, baby. I'll have them send it over in a bit."

He lowered his head, showering her with tender, loving kisses on her hair and forehead, his warm breath brushing against her skin.

"Baby, I will make sure you have a very happy and wonderful birthday."

Su Qingyao nestled against his chest, the sound of his steady, powerful heartbeat filling her ears.

One after another, it brought an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility.

She closed her eyes, immersing herself in this warmth.

Unaware that Wen Yu's possessiveness was silently growing and becoming increasingly entangled deep within his eyes, Su Qingyao, with her eyes closed, did not notice how it was growing and becoming increasingly intense.

-

Su Qingyao clearly noticed that Wen Yu had become unusually clingy these past few days, almost to the point of not leaving her side for a moment.

She was looking up information in the study, and he sat down on the sofa next to her, his eyes fixed on her.

She would take notes on her experiments, and he would bring her warm water and cut fruit, stand behind her, and casually twirl the ends of her hair with his fingertips as he watched her work.

He would stand at the door and wait for him whether he was eating, taking a walk, relaxing, or even going to the bathroom.

At first, Su Qingyao thought he was just overly nervous after being shaken, but after it lasted for several days, she tried to protest.

"Yuyu, my darling, go do what you need to do. You don't need to keep watching me. I'm not going to run away."

Wen Yu nodded obediently, a gentle ripple spreading across his eyes, his voice sincere and meek, "Okay, I'll listen to you, baby."

However, he still acted as he pleased and became Su Qingyao's shadow.

Su Qingyao had no choice but to let him do as he pleased, since they were both at home anyway.

That day, from the moment he opened his eyes in the early morning, Wen Yu, the little tagalong, began his clingy behavior once again, following him everywhere.

During breakfast, his eyes never left her, and he insisted on feeding her. She was dealing with emails while he sat beside her. She was so tired from looking at documents that she took a nap. When she woke up, she met his deep eyes watching over her by the bedside.

In the afternoon, Su Qingyao changed into casual clothes for going out and sat on a low stool in the entryway to put on her shoes.

This simple action instantly shattered Wen Yu's precarious facade of calm.

Is the baby leaving?

Where is the baby going?

Leave here? Leave...him?

Countless negative thoughts, like ferocious beasts breaking free of their cages, directly breached the dam of reason.

Her retreating figure, the dangers she might encounter, the thoughts she might have of wanting to escape him...

These imagined images intertwined to form the most terrifying nightmare, causing his heart to suddenly clench and his blood to flow backward.

"Baby!"

Wen Yu's expression changed drastically. He staggered forward and hugged Su Qingyao tightly from behind as she was tying her shoelaces.

The arms were so tightly wrapped that Su Qingyao could hardly breathe.

His voice was hoarse, filled with undisguised helplessness and deep-seated panic, trembling as it struck her ear.

"Baby, where are you going? Are you leaving? Are you going to leave me?!"

Su Qingyao was stunned by the sudden attack and questioning. She struggled to turn halfway out of his overly tight embrace, looked up and met his eyes, which were churning with turbulent waves, and looked completely bewildered.

"I'm so scared, my little Yuyu! What's going on? I'm going to see Mommy! It's been almost two weeks since I last went."

Wen Yu's tense body did not relax at this answer; instead, he pressed on, "Why didn't you ask me to come with you, baby?"

Su Qingyao found it somewhat amusing, and she tried to make him understand that they were two individuals.

"You have your own things to take care of, and I have my own plans. I can go by myself. I can't expect you to accompany me for everything, can I?"

"need."

Wen Yu interrupted her, his voice resolute and filled with a kind of obsessive confirmation.

"Baby, you need it."
