Chapter 632 The Devil's Steps

"vomit--"

Gao Dongxu patted Sheng Xia's back with a look of pity as she faced the sink, feeling nauseous and vomiting.

Seeing that she had just vomited up the little food she had eaten due to pregnancy sickness, I quickly handed her a tissue.

"vomit--"

"I feel so awful..." Sheng Xia's already pale face turned even paler as she patted her chest, feigning pain and complaining in a spoiled manner.

Feeling guilty, Gao Dongxu quickly put on a smile and gently patted her back, softly reassuring her, "It'll be alright after this period, just hang in there..."

"Ugh~~~ It's all your fault, it's all your fault..." Sheng Xia said coquettishly, lightly punching Gao Dongxu's chest.

Gao Dongxu hugged Sheng Xiadi's voluptuous body tightly, and comforted her with a wry smile, "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Feeling frustrated, she had just been enjoying her meal with a great appetite, and now her attitude had changed. Sigh, she should have just let her use her conscience.

It would be a waste not to make full use of such a good conscience. Unfortunately, it's her own problem; she lacks practice.

Gao Dongxu helped Sheng Xia back to the living room and sat her on the sofa. While massaging her feet and legs to prevent them from swelling later when her pregnancy became more apparent, he softly asked, "If there's anything you want to eat, tell me immediately. Even if it's dragon meat from heaven, I'll get it for you—"

"Puchi-"

Looking at Gao Dongxu, who was gently serving her and trying to make her happy, Sheng Xia, who had initially been a little resentful of his antics, giggled. However, she still pouted and said coquettishly, "I don't need you to find dragon meat for me. I really want to eat sour pomegranates, so get them for me—"

Gao Dongxu smiled wryly, saying that it's true that women often crave strange and unusual foods during pregnancy.

You should know that pomegranates usually ripen in the autumn, so you can't buy them now even if you have the money.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's wry smile, and knowing that she was making things difficult for him, Sheng Xia pouted and said, "Never mind, never mind, I won't make things difficult for you. Besides pomegranates, I also really want to eat strawberries with ketchup—" As she spoke, she smacked her lips, looking like she was about to drool.

Okay, it's an odd flavor combination, but strawberries are available in supermarkets.

"Wait here, I'll go buy it right away and be right back." Gao Dongxu didn't hesitate and immediately got up and put on his pants.

"How about I come with you?" Sheng Xia also wanted to go.

Seeing the open robe revealing Shang Xia's porcelain-white skin, Gao Dongxu chuckled and said, "By the time you've changed and touched up your makeup, I'll have already bought it. You stay home and wait patiently, I'll be right back—"

As he spoke, Gao Dongxu stepped forward and embraced her fair and slender waist, then lowered his head to kiss her red lips. He didn't kiss her deeply, after all, she had just experienced morning sickness, and even tigers don't eat their cubs.

"Then watch your step, be careful, no need to rush—" Sheng Xia felt sweet and happy seeing how much Gao Dongxu cared about her, and gently reminded him.

"Hehe, don't worry, just sit still and wait, I'll be right back—" After Gao Dongxu finished speaking, he quickly walked to the door, changed his shoes, opened the door, and left.

As he took the elevator downstairs, Gao Dongxu took out his phone and made a call to Huaxiazi.

"You're back?"

As soon as the call connected, the chatterbox couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, I'm back. I was planning to come see you tomorrow, but something came up and I need to talk to you about something," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"what's up?"

"Does anyone in your neighborhood grow pomegranates? Go and ask me for a few." Gao Dongxu thought that March was the season for pomegranates to ripen, but pomegranates were usually grown by ordinary people in their own yards.

"What's the point of that stuff? It's incredibly sour."

"I won't lie to you, the other woman who's holding my child suddenly wanted to eat pomegranates. Pomegranates are usually only available in September, so at this time of year, only green pomegranates are available," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"..."

After a brief silence, the chatterbox said, "Wait here, I'll go find it for you. Do you want to come and get it, or should I bring it to you?"

"Bring it to me, the address is... I'll wait for you at the entrance of the community. Don't rush, drive carefully on the way," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Okay—I'm hanging up."

Hearing the busy tone, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, even a mistress like Huaxiazi couldn't avoid being jealous. It seemed he should brew a few bowls of "marital harmony water" for all his women to drink.

I don't know how big the effect will be. I don't expect them to form a couple. I just hope they won't leave me after they find out about the other women.

I walked quickly out of the community and bought a lot of fruit at a nearby supermarket. I bought some of everything sour, because it's the height of summer and I might crave something sweet or sour.

Forty minutes later, Gao Dongxu, who was smoking by the roadside at the entrance of the residential area, saw Huaxia's BMW parked in front of him.

She rolled down the car window, leaned slightly closer to Gao Dongxu, and smiled, revealing two charming dimples, saying, "You're making me jealous—"

Looking at Hua Xiazi, who was wearing a black dress and had her hair in a bun, exuding charm with every smile and frown, Gao Dongxu threw away his cigarette, opened the car door, got in, reached out and wrapped his arms around her fair and slender neck, and kissed her moist red lips.

The car window rolled up, Hua Xiazi unbuckled her seatbelt, turned around and wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck, her breathing becoming extremely rapid as she began to respond.

After a ten-minute kiss, the two still seemed a little reluctant to part. Hua Xiazi's pretty face was flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Alright, stop messing around. Your skirt is about to be torn. Let's go back and not keep her waiting."

"Thank you, baby—" Gao Dongxu and Huaxiazi looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

"No need to thank me. I'll be content if you treat me like this once I'm pregnant," Huaxiazi said with a hint of jealousy and resentment.

"Don't worry, I will treat everyone equally and will not show favoritism," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Hehe, then I'll go home now and think about how to make things difficult for you later," Hua Xiazi said with a charming smile.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go back now."

Hua Xiazi pushed Gao Dongxu away, who kept blaming her conscience.

Gao Dongxu chuckled and said, "I'll come over to have lunch with you tomorrow at noon."

"How rare—" Hua Xiazi's lips curled up, her dimples deepening, and she gave a sweet, coquettish glare before fastening her seatbelt. She said playfully, "Get out of there, Shi Liu is in the back seat, take her, I'm going back—"

Gao Dongxu smiled, opened the car door, got out, and took five green pomegranates from a plastic bag in the back seat.

"Two of them are ready to eat, but it's best to let the remaining three warm before eating them," Hua Xiazi said, rolling down the car window again and calling out to Gao Dongxu.

"Okay, drive carefully, and text me when you get home."

"understood--"

As soon as he finished speaking, the BMW sped off, leaving only its red taillights in the distance.

"That crazy woman—" Gao Dongxu muttered, somewhat speechless.

After returning home, Gao Dongxu held the pomegranate up in front of Sheng Xia, raising his eyebrows and smiling as if presenting a treasure: "Look what this is?"

"Pomegranate?! Where did you find this? Oh my god—" Sheng Xia was stunned at first, then covered her wide-eyed exclamation, and finally, moved, she hugged Gao Dongxu and kissed his lips.

Gao Dongxu, who was passively eating his child, twitched his lips. He remembered that she had drunk water earlier, which relieved him of his burden.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Sheng Xia looked at Gao Dongxu with tender eyes, saying sweetly and happily, "Where did you find this?"

"Hehe, at this time of year, only the pomegranates grown by people living in bungalows or courtyard houses are ripe to eat. I asked a friend to look for them, and he found some! Come on, have a taste!"

Gao Dongxu knew that if a person couldn't satisfy their cravings for something, they would suffer terribly.

According to science, what a person wants to eat is what the bacteria on their body want to eat. If they can't get what they want, the bacteria will keep sending signals to the brain, and the more they can't get what they want, the more uncomfortable they will feel.

So, Gao Dongxu was overjoyed to see Sheng Xia, who was smiling broadly, enjoying the green pomegranate that he had almost bitten into with its sourness. He truly believed in the scientific explanation.

Having satisfied her appetite in the height of summer, she felt incredibly happy and sweet, and in a good way, she rewarded Gao Dongxu with a heartfelt gesture.

So much so that Go Dong-wook happily hummed a strange song, "My Skateboard Shoes."

"...One step, two steps..."
