Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 620: Chapter 620: How would you take the lead?
 

Di Yelei suddenly laughed and reached out his hand towards her: “Sisi, come, you take the lead tonight, how about that?”

Looking at his outstretched hand, Liu Sisi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in her heart. Her hands, which were originally evasive, gradually softened, and she slowly leaned forward to wrap her arms around his strong back.

Her silent invitation sent Di Yelei’s spirits soaring!

“Sisi…”

His blood boiled in an instant!

His trembling hand finally embraced her, desperately exploring her body. Unable to resist, he propped up his body, eagerly searching for her lips.

“No, let go!”

Liu Sisi immediately felt his intrusion, her small body immediately became stiff like a stone, her entire person changed color, and she began to struggle frantically.

Di Yelei quickly loosened his arms, gently patting Liu Sisi’s shoulders: “Sisi, don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you, Sisi…”

But Liu Sisi didn’t relax because of this, but rather escaped like her life was on the line – kicking hard and aiming for the man’s vital area, heavily kicking it!

She didn’t hold back at all!

Di Yelei took a sharp breath! He moved aside just in time, and her kick landed on his hip bone, causing stars to appear before his eyes due to the pain!

He stared at Liu Sisi, his face full of disbelief!

It was only at this moment that he realized that Sisi was serious; she was truly rejecting his touch!

After kicking him, Liu Sisi quickly escaped to the corner of the room, covering her head and screaming loudly, refusing his touch.

Her body trembled incessantly, like a sieve!

The two stood silently at odds for a while. After the pain subsided, Di Yelei finally came back to his senses.

He suddenly realized that he had completely screwed things up this time!

He slowly approached Liu Sisi, step by step.

“Sisi, don’t be afraid! Sisi! I am Ye Lei, your husband! I won’t hurt you, don’t be afraid! Okay? Be good…”

Liu Sisi’s body still trembled slightly, staring stiffly at Di Yelei’s gradual approach, neither moving nor fleeing.

At this moment, she was actually feeling incredibly annoyed inside!

She knew her reaction was wrong, and deep down, she truly desired Di Yelei’s embrace, but her body was afraid. As for what exactly she was afraid of, she couldn’t explain it herself.

“Sisi, be good! Give me your hand, hold my hand. Didn’t we promise to share our joys and sorrows, and walk hand in hand for a lifetime? Are you going to abandon me like this?”

His voice was low, so low that it made Liu Sisi’s heart sink as well.

She finally looked up and saw his outstretched hand, close at hand, and followed his hands to see his face.

His face was covered in sweat, his brows furrowed but filled with sorrow, a far cry from his usual confident demeanor, as if he had completely transformed.

He was calm at this moment, non-aggressive, and reassuring to Liu Sisi!

She finally reached out her hand, slowly placing it in his big hand, her face full of dismay, like a little girl who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment from the adults, with her head down.

“Ye Lei…”

Her tearful expression immediately melted his heart.

“Good girl! Sisi, don’t cry. Your husband knows you didn’t mean for this to happen; you didn’t want to end up like this.”

He gently hugged her, patted her shoulder and soothed her.

After a while, Liu Sisi finally relaxed in his arms, curling up and not moving for a long time.

“Let’s go to sleep, Sisi!”

The small figure in his arms immediately tensed up!

“Don’t be afraid! I mean, let’s just cuddle and sleep together, simply resting for a while. Look at you, you can barely keep your eyes open.”

The small figure finally relaxed once again.

Di Yelei felt a surge of amusement and sadness. His once affectionate little wife had suddenly refused his tenderness; how could that not make him feel disheartened and heartbroken!

“Come, close your eyes and sleep for a while, be a good girl!”

He gently lay her down in bed, then laid down next to her, not daring to make any additional movements, and holding her quietly fell asleep. He was still talking about the interesting things he encountered in the countryside during the day.

“…At that moment, everyone was thirsty and started looking for water. We saw a small courtyard with a well and went in happily. But unexpectedly, there was no dog in the yard, but a huge rooster! The rooster was majestic and strong, with a high red crown on its head, the size of a big clay bowl. Its tail was raised high, and it went after people as soon as it saw them, taking aim at Zhang Yun and pecking at him…”

Liu Sisi just snuggled quietly in his arms, her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes wide open, staring at him unblinkingly.

“… After that, we asked the farmers for a couple of ladles of cold water to drink. And guess what? That aggressive rooster chased after us again! That pesky thing had its sights set on Zhang Yun, and wouldn’t give up. No matter how the owner tried to hit it with a stick, it wouldn’t let go…”

“Pfft!”

Liu Sisi finally laughed belatedly. Her body finally relaxed.

Only upon seeing Liu Sisi laugh did Di Yelei feel relieved.

“Sisi, what’s been going on with you lately?”

“I… Ye Lei, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” Liu Sisi weakly said, burying her face in Di Yelei’s chest.

“Every time you come over, I think about when I gave birth, and then… then I can’t control myself.”

“Why? Oh—you’re afraid of getting pregnant again, aren’t you?”

A lightbulb went off in Di Yelei’s head, suddenly thinking of this issue.

Was she afraid of getting pregnant? Liu Sisi didn’t know herself what she was afraid of. But deep in her heart, she knew that she suffered from a condition called “postpartum depression”. Although her mind accepted him, her body severely rejected him.

“Sisi, I have never told you about something, because I worried that if I did, it would burden you.”

Di Yelei couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “When you had the youngest, you had a difficult delivery. Old He used a needle to open your pelvis, which injured your body. He said that after that… you might not be able to… ”

“You… you mean…?”

Liu Sisi was completely shocked by the sudden news and could not respond.

“Yes! Old He himself said this, and you know how skilled he is at medicine; he rarely makes a mistake! I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to accept this, so I’ve been holding back, waiting until you’d recovered a bit before telling you…” Di Yelei stammered.
