“It’s not a little monkey. It’s our child,” Song Jingchen corrected her seriously.
Didn’t they all mean the same thing?
Shen Yijia said in disbelief, “Hubby, am I dreaming? Pinch me.”
Song Jingchen chuckled. “I can’t bear to. Why don’t you pinch me instead?”
Shen Yijia obediently reached out and pinched his leg.
“Does it hurt?” she asked nervously.
Song Jingchen’s face twisted in pain. “It doesn’t hurt.”
Shen Yijia saw his expression. Her heart ached and she was excited. She smiled evilly and said, “Then I’ll try again.”
Song Jingchen quickly grabbed her demonic claws that were reaching for his cheek and said with an injured expression, “It hurts. Wife, show mercy.”
He was really injured. This girl could not bear to hit him so hard in the past. It must be because of a certain brat who had yet to be born!
“Haha!” Shen Yijia laughed out loud and threw herself into his arms. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Hubby, I’m really going to give birth to a baby for you.”
No wonder her appetite had improved recently and she got tired easily. Yes, she even liked to eat sour food. It turned out that it was because there was another person in her stomach.
Song Jingchen suddenly felt a little sad.
This girl might not know how to be a mother, but he knew how much she wanted this child.
From the moment she drugged him when An Dong’s wife was pregnant in
Xiagou Village, to the wish made in front of Buddha in Xunyang City, and more…
It had really been too long!
Thinking of his negligence during this period of time, Song Jingchen blamed himself.
Sensing something, Shen Yijia blinked and said, “Hubby, I’m hungry.”
Hearing that she was hungry, Song Jingchen quickly put away his unnecessary emotions and said softly, “I made shredded chicken porridge for you in the pot. Wait a moment, I’ll bring it over for you.”
“Alright.”
Seeing Song Jingchen leave, Shen Yijia screamed. The sound was so loud that the roof was about to fly off.
Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks in fear. He guessed the reason and chuckled.
Her reaction was even greater than his. He had only run around the arena twice and caught two deputy generals to spar with him.
Actually, if not for the tense situation at Nanling Pass and Song Jingchen’s control, there would have been a greater reaction.
On the other side, Shen Yijia was looking down at her stomach and talking to the baby in her stomach with a serious expression. “Hey, can you hear me?”
“I’m your mother.”
“It was your father who went out just now.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were sneaking into my stomach? Look at how worried your father is. You’re not allowed to do this in the future. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up.”
A small head poked in through the window. “Sister-in-law.”
Shen Yijia looked over and knew that she had been heard. She was not embarrassed and asked, “Sister Huan, why are you hiding there?”
Song Jinghuan smiled and said, “Big Brother didn’t let me disturb your rest, but
I wanted to wait for you to wake up.”
“Oh, then come in quickly. I’m awake.”
Song Jinghuan shook his head repeatedly. “No, no. Big Brother will be back soon. I’d better go back and sleep. I’m just saying hello to you.”
Shen Yijia said, “Oh, then sleep early.”
“Goodnight, Sister-in-law.” The window was lowered again. Soon, Song Jinghuan stuck his head in again. “Sister-in-law, remember to tell the baby that I’m his aunt.”
Shen Yijia was speechless.
When Song Jingchen returned, he saw Shen Yijia sitting cross-legged on the bed obediently.
He placed the porridge and a few dishes on the table. He carried Shen Yijia to the table and scooped a spoonful of porridge for her.
Shen Yijia opened her mouth obediently. “By the way, how’s it going outside?”
Song Jingchen paused. He knew that if he didn’t say it, this girl would think too much. He pursed his lips and said, “The Wu Kingdom’s army didn’t come to attack the city today. I asked them to repair the city gate first and add a few mechanisms to it.”
The repair of the city gate was not something that could be done in a day or two. Even if it was repaired in a short period of time, it could not help but be weakened. Most importantly, he hoped that those mechanisms would be effective.
Knowing that Song Jingchen had plans, Shen Yijia asked, “Then..
“The military doctor checked on those unconscious soldiers, but he didn’t see anything wrong for the time being.”
Shen Yijia opened her mouth.
“Most of the black-robed people have been cleaned up. I’m worried that there are still people left alone in the city. Brother Xiao is leading people to search the area outside.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “He knew what I was going to ask even before I asked. As expected of my beautiful husband. Smart!”
Night fell.
Xiao Qirui had just finished off a black-robed man when he instructed him to get on his horse and continue searching ahead.
Looking at the cold streets, the only thing he was glad about now was that the citizens of Nanling Pass had been moved to Qingyang City. Otherwise…
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a child’s cry suddenly sounded in the alley ahead.
“Don’t come over. Big Brother, where are you?”
How could there be children here?
Without any time to think, Xiao Qirui quickly rode over.
The horse stopped at the mouth of the alley and he looked sideways.
A boy about four or five years old was lying on the ground. He turned his head and looked behind him. Not far from the child stood a black-robed man.
The black-robed man had already reached out his demonic claws at the boy.
His pupils constricted as he flew over and pulled the child into his arms.
He felt a sharp pain in his back.
“Young Master!”
“General!”
With a whoosh, the sound of iron chains tearing through the air sounded. The pressure behind him disappeared. Xiao Qirui felt a chill spread from the wound on his back to his limbs. It was so cold that his limbs went numb for a moment. He lost his balance and knelt on one knee.
Xiao Li staggered over. “Young Master, are you alright?”
Xiao Qirui gritted his teeth and endured it. He shouted, “Go and investigate why there are children in the city!”
The boy was so frightened that he stopped crying. Hearing his words, his small body trembled.
Xiao Qirui naturally felt him shrinking into his arms. He took a deep breath and patted the boy’s back, trying to make his voice as soft as possible. “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t comforted him. As soon as he opened his mouth, the boy burst into tears. “My sister…”
Xiao Qirui frowned.
“General, it’s settled.” A soldier walked over and reported.
“Take him to his sister,” Xiao Qirui said as he prepared to push the boy out.
However, the boy was frightened just now. He grabbed his armor tightly and refused to let go.
Xiao Qirui had no choice but to give up. He planned to bring his men to look for her himself, but just as he was about to stand up with her in his arms, his vision darkened and he fell.
“Young Master! “
