"If you want to know, I'll tell you." You looked at my conflicted expression with a hint of helplessness.

"But...but I promised Zifang I wouldn't watch it..." I was a little conflicted.

"You didn't see it? Didn't I see it?" You tapped my head, as if she thought I was stupid.

"If you want to know, I'll tell you, but you should keep it to yourself and not tell Zifang."

"Hmm..." My smile crumbled into a frown. "Alright then, tell me."

“Boy.” You’s answer was simple and clear, without any preamble.

"A boy?" I burst out laughing instantly. "A boy is good. Zifang can handle him in the future. I saw that kid today and he was naughty. I guess he'll give Zifang a lot of headaches in the future."

You glanced at me and said casually, "What's so special about his head? Didn't you say you were going to give him away to someone else to raise?"

I had completely forgotten about this, but You's reminder brought it back to my mind.

I sighed. "No, I have to go and talk to her. How can she give her own child away to be raised by someone else?"

I watched with my own eyes as Wisteria's belly grew bigger day by day. She worked so hard every day, like a piece of her own flesh falling off her body. How could Wisteria bear to part with it?

I really don't understand.

You's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and I could almost hear her soft laughter. "Since she has already made up her mind, what's the point of you saying anything?"

"How could it be useless?" I said, but when I met You's gaze, I felt a little scared.

Right, how could it possibly work? I remembered that I had tried to persuade Zi Teng before, and she looked so resolute.

"Let's ask again tomorrow. Maybe my thoughts are different now." I licked my lips, even I thought it was unlikely.

"You're just worrying unnecessarily. You're more concerned about how she raises her own child than she is about her."

"I'm heartbroken for the child." I leaned closer to You, wrapped my arms around her waist, and said nothing more.

I fell asleep nestled in You's arms. When I woke up the next day, You was still gone; she had gone downstairs to prepare food.

I propped myself up and sat up; the first thing I did was grab my phone from beside the bed.

I first sent a message to Qingzhen to ask her how the village was doing.

Qingzhen replied to me quickly, telling me that everything was fine in the village now, no one was dying, but she still hadn't found any trace of the evil spirit.

I told her, "You continue to guard the village for now."

I chatted with Zi Teng for a few more minutes, then told her that I would go see her later.

After I finished everything, I put down my phone.

After the wisteria's child is born and the village monster is captured, I plan to go somewhere else with You.

"Dinner's ready," You's voice came from downstairs.

I responded and hurriedly washed up and tidied myself up.

After we went downstairs and had dinner, I helped You wash the dishes and tidy up.

"You, let's go take a look at the wisteria later."

Even when You was washing dishes, her hands were so beautiful, with distinct knuckles and long, slender fingers.

"Okay, but you have to come with me to buy groceries first."

"Buy groceries? Okay." I nodded in agreement. The supermarket wasn't far from here.

We went upstairs to wash up and then went out feeling refreshed.

We went to the supermarket for a big shopping spree, then returned home, tidied up the things we bought, and then went out again.

This time, the location is Wisteria's house.

You drove the whole way, while I pondered how to talk to Zifeng and how to persuade her not to give the child away to someone else to raise.

I had countless ideas, and countless scenes played out in my mind.

But the more I thought about it, the less likely I was to succeed.

"arrive."

"We're here?" I came to my senses and looked around. We had indeed arrived at Wisteria's house.

How could it be so fast?

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and then pulled You out of the car.

The person who opened the door was the aunt from the Wisteria family.

"You've arrived! Please come in." The aunt warmly welcomed us through the door.

"Madam and Master are upstairs," the aunt said, pointing to the second floor.

"Okay, I understand." I nodded. It seems Gu Yue is here today too.

I took You's hand and we went upstairs together. We stopped at the door of the wisteria grove and knocked on it tentatively. "Wisteria, it's me. May I come in?"

"Come in quickly, come in quickly!" came the joyful voice of the wisteria.

I pushed the door open and entered. Gu Yue was sitting on the edge of the bed with Zi Teng, reading a book together. I glanced at it and saw that it was a parenting guide.

"You've arrived." Gu Yue greeted us politely, standing up to shake our hands.

"I've come to see the wisteria." I smiled and pointed to the wisteria.

"Okay." Gu Yue nodded and offered me her seat, which I took next to Zi Teng.

Gu Yue was with You.

The atmosphere between me and Zifang was fine; we chatted and laughed while watching the movie. However, Guyue and You seemed a bit awkward.

The two sat on the sofa, each drinking tea, without saying a word, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

"You and your wife have such a good relationship," Gu Yue said somewhat dryly, pursing her lips.

You glanced at Gu Yue, in a rare good mood, and nodded slightly. "Yes, we have a very good relationship." She finished speaking with a smile on her lips.

Gu Yue chuckled dryly and said to the two provinces, "That's really good."

Then the two of them ran out of things to say to each other again.

I wanted to talk to Wisteria, but it's not convenient for Gu Yue to be here.

I was thinking of sending a message to You on my phone, asking her to take Gu Yue out for a while.

With that in mind, I took out my phone and sent a message to You.

After sending it, I looked at You.

After receiving the message, You took out his phone and glanced at it. I saw him look at it, but You only glanced at it and then put it back.

I didn't get a reply, and I waited for ages but didn't see You take Gu Yue out.

What does You mean by this? Didn't you see it? I opened my eyes wide and waited for a while before sending You another message.

You took it out, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and put it back.

I'm so angry! You won't reply to my messages and won't take Gu Yue out.

I sent You several more messages, and this time I finally received a reply from her.

"I can't leave you."

I was completely confused. What the heck? Who told you to leave me? It means sending Gu Yue out and sitting outside with Gu Yue for a while.

However, I quickly realized that You still didn't trust Zi Teng? Did she think Zi Teng would harm me?

You're overthinking it. Even if Zi Teng wanted to hurt me, how could she possibly harm me in her current state, with a child in her belly?

I had no choice but to message You and say, "You don't need to leave. Just find a way to get Gu Yue out of here."

This time, You replied very quickly, good.

I put my phone away with peace of mind, keeping my eyes on the TV, but my peripheral vision kept glancing at You and Gu Yue.

I watched as You and Gu Yue said something to each other, and then Gu Yue nodded and left.

After Gu Yue left, I asked You, "How long will he be gone?"

"Don't worry, you can speak freely."

I nodded. Since You said so, I don't need to worry anymore.
