Chapter 535 The Swing Has Been Tampered With

Seeing Nan Zhiyun so well-behaved, Yu Jingchen felt a pang of heartache.

"The sun is out today, and I've had the swing installed outside. Shall I take you out to see it in a bit?" Yu Jingchen has tried everything he can to make Nan Zhiyun happy these past few days.

"Okay," Nan Zhiyun said, and this time she didn't refuse everything like before.

"Good girl," Yu Jingchen gently kissed Nan Zhiyun's forehead.

After calming Nan Zhiyun down, Yu Jingchen turned his attention back to Jiang Ji. He was actually quite useful. Jiang Ji didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Nan Zhiyun, and given his abilities, staying by her side might be a good thing. However, this kind of person was difficult to control, so Yu Jingchen couldn't fully trust him, which was why he was still hesitant about how to handle the situation.

"Your Majesty, the wontons are ready." Xia Yi came up with the wontons that Nan Zhiyun wanted to eat.

Yu Jingchen took the bowl of food, which was steaming hot. Because of Nan Zhiyun's condition these past few days, it was prepared in a light style, with a layer of scallions floating on top. Nan Zhiyun hadn't had much of an appetite these past few days, but seeing this made her a little hungry.

Yu Jingchen scooped one up, blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to Nan Zhiyun's lips. Nan Zhiyun took a bite, and her mouth, which had been tasteless, seemed to have regained its taste buds. It was delicious and fragrant.

Nan Zhiyun ate about half a bowl, which was more than enough for the past few days. Yu Jingchen was worried that eating too much might cause other problems, so…

“Alright, you can have it made again if you want to eat more later. Your stomach isn’t good to begin with, and eating like this all of a sudden could cause problems. So take it slow, and have it made again later, okay?” Yu Jingchen asked her.

"Yes, I want to eat more later." Nan Zhiyun seemed to really like this.

"Okay, we'll eat later." Yu Jingchen was naturally more than happy to see Nan Zhiyun like this.

After they finished eating, Yu Jingchen helped Nan Zhiyun change her clothes and took her outside for a walk.

The sun was shining brightly today, and the swing was already set up. Yu Jingchen led Nan Zhiyun to sit on the swing. He knew Nan Zhiyun liked it, but because she was pregnant, Yu Jingchen moved very gently, afraid of accidentally hurting her.

"Yun'er, you can tell me whatever you want to do. Don't be afraid I won't agree." Yu Jingchen seemed to have returned to the time when Nan Zhiyun was still very afraid of him.

"Okay," Nan Zhiyun agreed. Although the situation was a little better than before, Nan Zhiyun still seemed reluctant to speak.

Yu Jingchen didn't force these things. Let's take it slow. There are signs of improvement now, so there's no rush.

Nan Zhiyun sat on the swing, and he gently pushed it. The scene looked unexpectedly harmonious. But... just as Yu Jingchen was pushing Nan Zhiyun on the swing, the swing ropes snapped.

Nan Zhiyun lost her balance and fell to the ground. Yu Jingchen's pupils contracted slightly, and he felt as if a large hand was gripping his heart. He immediately caught her, even using his lightness skill.

Nan Zhiyun was pulled into Yu Jingchen's arms and didn't fall, but this unexpected turn of events really frightened the two of them and all the servants present.
