Zhou Yanjing was silent for a moment, but he couldn't persuade her, so he nodded, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you can only grow herbs on the edge and not go into the mountains."

"Tutututut, aren't you still here? You will protect me, right?"

Zhou Yanjing raised a wicked smile, "Of course, my duty is to protect you and the child."

He paused, his eyes fell on her still flat belly, his eyes became gentle and deep.

"Eat quickly, don't let your child go hungry."

Shen Liwu lowered his head and took a sip of the chicken soup. The soup was rich and warm, sliding down his throat. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "This chicken soup is really delicious. My mother's cooking skills are amazing."

"Then I'll go back and talk to mom and ask her to stew it for you a few more times." A hint of cunning flashed in Zhou Yanjing's eyes.

Shen Liwu glared at him and said, "No, there are a few chickens at home that can be stewed."

"We can't treat you unfairly. You deserve it." Zhou Yanjing said seriously, his eyes full of sincerity.

Shen Liwu shook his head, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Yes, I know you love me, but you can't waste it like this."

Zhou Yanjing smiled and did not refute.

How can it be said to be a waste? Giving her everything doesn't feel like it's too much.

…

Early the next morning, the two went up the mountain to collect herbs. There were many herbs on the mountain, but they knew what most of them looked like, so they were not difficult to find.

Soon the two of them filled a small basket with herbs. Zhou Yanjing held Shen Liwu's hand for fear that she would have an accident.

"Is this enough?"

"I want to find a few more herbs, so I have to go further inside." Shen Liwu didn't want to miss the opportunity to go up the mountain. Digging herbs was also her favorite hobby.

But Zhou Yanjing refused. "You are pregnant now, so you shouldn't walk too far. Go back first. It's dangerous in the mountains, not to mention there are wolves. If there are any herbs you want that you can't find, tell me and I'll go buy them."

Shen Liwu knew that Zhou Yanjing was worried about her, but these kinds of herbs were needed for one of her experiments, and she didn't want to give up.

"Let's go a little deeper inside. If there's still no sign of it, we'll go down the mountain right away. Okay?" Shen Liwu pulled his hand and shook it gently, looking at him with her big eyes blinking, full of pleading.

Zhou Yanjing looked into her eyes and felt a tenderness in his heart. He knew that she was insisting. If he didn't agree, she would continue to go into the mountains. However, there were wolves in the deep mountains. If something unexpected happened, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that if you can't find us, you'll go down the mountain. You can't joke with your life."

"T."

Shen Liwu pulled him to continue walking deep into the mountains. The air in the mountains was particularly fresh, the grass and trees were lush, and the crisp chirping of birds echoed in the mountains. They moved carefully through the grass, glancing around from time to time, afraid of missing any herbs.

"Look, what is that!" Shen Liwu's eyes suddenly lit up. She ran over quickly, pulled aside the grass leaves, and saw a surprise.
