Xi Muchen carried Xia Wanwan to the bathroom, putting her into the bathtub and carefully cleaning her.
Xia Wanwan was groggy and only felt the comfort of being enveloped by hot water. Xi Muchen applied body wash on her and gently massaged her.
These were techniques Xi recently learned, claiming they were beneficial for pregnant women.
Xia Wanwan indeed felt comfortable, let out a satisfied moan, and then drifted back to sleep.
Although it's generally hard to notice much at three months pregnant, Xia Wanwan has always been rather slender, and pregnancy did make her look a bit different. Besides, Xi Muchen has been dedicated to nurturing her with some extra weight, so her previously flat stomach, although not noticeably protruding, has gained some softness.
Xi Muchen couldn't resist himself and leaned down to kiss her belly. Xia Wanwan was already asleep, but his kiss made her itch, and she instinctively pushed his head away with her hand in dissatisfaction.
