Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 488 - 469: Wanting to Pamper Her

Lin Banxia was sleeping soundly, when she felt a warm and firm body pressing against her back. Instinctively, she snuggled closer into his embrace.

It was warm. It felt safe.

Yan Ting’s large palm naturally rested on her smooth lower abdomen, and he could hardly believe that this very place was now nurturing his child.

Lin Banxia had experienced a cold stomach before, but now, with the man’s scorching palm warming her belly, she suddenly felt that this sleep could be even more peaceful.

Yan Ting caught the faint fragrance from the little woman nestled in his arms. Despite the stirrings in his body, he understood that it was a special time for her, and he absolutely couldn’t indulge himself.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, Lin Banxia woke up in the man’s arms. Meeting his lazy gaze, she was slightly surprised. "Why are you still here?"

Yan Ting reached out, lightly brushing her nose tip. "I’ve taken the morning off. I’ve been working for too long—it’s time I learned to relax a bit too."

When Lin Banxia heard he was off work, she beamed and sat up. "Then what’s your plan for lunch?"

"Just stay here in bed with you—I don’t want to go anywhere!" Yan Ting replied with a smile.

Lin Banxia, however, threw off the covers and reached for her shoes. "I don’t want to laze around in bed. I’ll go make breakfast for you."

"Don’t move, I’ll do it!" Seeing her hurriedly get out of bed all to make breakfast for him, Yan Ting’s expression grew urgent, his large hand stretched out to grab her wrist. "You’re pregnant now—your body is more delicate than anyone’s. Leave this kind of physical work to your husband!"

The single word "husband" made Lin Banxia’s heart feel like it was soaked in honey, dripping in sweetness. She felt terribly bashful, smiling as she blushed.

"You’ve got it wrong—you’re my ex-husband now!"

"Do you really have to fuss over the details like this?" Yan Ting playfully punished her, leaning down to gently nip at the back of her neck. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A red mark instantly appeared clearly on her skin.

Lin Banxia let out a startled cry and glared at him in mild frustration. "What are you doing? How am I supposed to face people now?"

"Anyway, the only person you’ll be seeing right now is me, and I won’t laugh at you!" Yan Ting threw off the covers and got out of bed as well. He had on just a pair of loose sleep pants, his upper body entirely exposed—the sculpted contours of his chest and its healthy glow showing off every bit of his masculine, untamed charm.

Lin Banxia blinked her beautiful eyes, too shy to look directly, but unable to resist stealing glances.

Yan Ting headed into the kitchen, opened the fridge, scanned its contents, and finally decided to make noodles for her.

Now that her body was fragile, he worried that eating steak might be too heavy for her. But doing fine-detail work, like handmade noodles—the thought made Yan Ting realize he wasn’t very accustomed to it.

Lin Banxia lazily slouched down the stairs, only to see the man standing in the kitchen frying two eggs, the aroma wafting through the air and smelling quite tempting.

Meanwhile, in the Huo Family!

The matriarch started the early morning dressed impeccably in elegant and luxurious attire, adorned with glittering jewels.

She had a very important task today—visiting the Chu Family to discuss canceling the arranged marriage.

But she didn’t feel entirely confident this time. Thinking about yesterday, when she had colluded with Chu Tingting to scheme against her own grandson, and now rushing to bring up the marriage annulment—it certainly seemed lacking in integrity.

Yet the matter was beyond remedy now, and she had to resolve it as soon as possible.

Yan Ting had no parents, so from childhood to adulthood, everything concerning him had fallen into the hands of these two elderly caretakers.
