"Meow—"

A large, jet-black cat suddenly darted out of the outhouse, carrying a mouse in its mouth, startling Ye Yun who had just reached the outhouse door.

It turned out that the noise wasn't caused by anyone playing tricks, but by a cat catching a mouse.

Ye Yun looked at the kitten that was running away with the mouse in its mouth and found it amusing. She shook her head and thought to herself that she was being too sensitive.

She threw down the wooden stick in her hand and turned to leave, but suddenly saw Qin Zheng standing not far away watching her.

Qin Zheng's eyes were filled with concern and worry as he walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "Wife, why did you come out alone?"

Ye Yun felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

No matter what happens, this man seems to always be by her side, protecting and supporting her.

She shook her head gently and smiled, "It's nothing. I heard it's going to snow tonight, so I came out to see if there was anything in the yard that needed to be stored."

"I see."

Qin Zheng seemed relieved after hearing her words. He put his arm around her shoulder and walked into the house, saying in a low voice, "Since that's the case, let's go back inside quickly. Our daughter can't sleep and needs to be held to fall asleep. I'll take care of everything else."

Ye Yun nodded, "Okay."

With Qin Zheng by her side, she was fearless and nestled comfortably in his arms, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his chest.

What appears to be an ordinary scene is actually quite extraordinary.

As soon as the door closed, Qin Zheng gripped Ye Yun's small hand tightly, his eyes darkening slightly. He gently scolded, "You can't be so reckless in the future. Why didn't you call me when you needed to use the restroom?"

Ye Yun: "..."

Do I need to call you to go to the toilet with me?

She was clearly defiant, which made Qin Zheng laugh in exasperation. He reached out and flicked her nose, saying helplessly yet affectionately, "You... I just can't do anything with you."

However, the smile on his face lasted only a second before a dark light surged in his sharp eyes.

His voice also had a compelling, deep quality—

How many people are on the other side?

"two……"
