"What's wrong?" He asked with concern when he saw his wife move slightly in his arms.
Lin Qiyue asked, "Is there a big difference between Xicheng and Pingcheng?"
“Sir, it’s half an hour from the city there, and supplies are scarce. If you come with me there, the difference will be huge. But I’ll try my best to make your wife more comfortable. I’ve already asked my comrades to help me get a bed and furniture. I bought you a mattress so you won’t feel so uncomfortable when you sleep there.”
Upon hearing that there was a mattress, Lin Qiyue nestled in his arms, feeling even happier, and slowly said, "You're so sweet~"
Lan Yuchu always did everything well, showing her through his actions that he truly cared for her.
When Lan Yuchu heard this from his wife, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile; his wife had praised him.
He pretended to be calm and said, "This is what a husband should do. I wouldn't dare to treat you badly; the whole family is watching me!"
"So, you were forced?" Lin Qiyue knew he was joking, and she played along by questioning him.
Lan Yuchu then said, "So, shouldn't we give our husbands a reward?"
Lin Qiyue was truly impressed by his complete lack of shyness!
Being stared at by his naked gaze made me incredibly shy.
Although the two got along very well, she could never remain calm and natural when faced with such a request.
"No reward."
"That's a shame!"
Lan Yuchu wasn't saddened by Lin Qiyue's rejection; instead, she raised an eyebrow and spoke with a meaningful tone.
If she refuses now, he can do whatever he wants over there, and Lin Qiyue can't escape it even if she refuses.
Lin Qiyue could see what he was thinking from his eyes.
"He's probably thinking, 'Once we get there, he'll be able to bully me!'"
Lan Yuchu, whose little scheme had been exposed, blinked for a moment, but her expression remained calm.
Lin Qiyue added, "Let me tell you, if you dare to bully me, I'll tell my mother-in-law, and she'll fly over and beat you up."
"That'll have to wait until I've bullied them properly before we talk about it~" Lan Yuchu said to Lin Qiyue with a wicked smile.
He made no attempt to hide his mischievous thoughts.
Once they leave home, it's just the two of them in their own little world.
Lin Qiyue was amused and said in a coquettish voice, "You're shameless!"
Lan Yuchu smiled with satisfaction, then gently pressed Lin Qiyue's head and kissed her forehead.
"It's okay, if you don't reward me, I'll reward myself," Lan Yuchu comforted herself.
Lin Qiyue: "..."
If you're going to reward yourself, why not kiss yourself?
This is infuriating!
Lan Yuchu began hypnotizing him, coaxing, "Sleep, it's okay."
With Lan Yuchu's coaxing, Lin Qiyue quickly fell asleep.
In Pingcheng, after Duan Yueman was locked up, she sat in her room all night.
No one came to visit her, and she silently prayed that she wouldn't implicate her family.
Duan Hongguo and Lan Huaixi didn't come back all night, and Qian Xiuying and Haidai'er didn't sleep at all.
Qian Xiuying asked a friend to suggest that she go see Duan Yueman.
Because of Qian Xiuying's special status, she didn't dare to go. So Hai Daier made some food and asked Hai Dongcheng to take it to visit her.
Liu Yuanzhu went with Hai Dongcheng. Before the investigation yields any substantial results, she should be fine; she'll just be locked up.
A moment later, the door was opened.
"Hurry up, someone's coming soon." The gatekeeper's voice was cold, reminding them to finish their conversation quickly.
Upon hearing the sound, Duan Yueman thought it was her father coming to check on her, and she excitedly got up and looked at the door.
The people who came in were Hai Dongcheng and Liu Yuanzhu. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, followed by worry.
"Dongcheng, how is Dad?" Duan Yueman asked Hai Dongcheng worriedly.
Hai Dongcheng was holding the meal that Hai Dai'er had just prepared, along with some fruit.
"Sister, Dad is fine. Mom was worried that you weren't doing well here, so she sent me to check on you."
"Thank you!" Duan Yueman knew who Hai Dongcheng was talking about; it was her father's wife.
She hasn't officially met her yet, but she'll take care of herself.
Liu Yuanzhu and Duan Yueman grew up together. Although Liu Yuanzhu was several years older than Duan Yueman, he quickly said, "We only have a limited time to visit you. Aunt Xiuying and Aunt Dai'er said not to be afraid. The worst outcome is being sent down to the countryside. If that happens, we've already found you a place to go to Pingcheng."
"Hmm." Hai Dongcheng put the food on the table and then said, "Sister, Mom said that if you are sent to Qingcheng, Uncle Gu and Aunt Ling will take good care of you."
She saw that her family members, whom she had never met, had already made arrangements for her future.
Still deeply moved, she choked up as she asked worriedly, "Will they make things difficult for you here?"
"Sis, it's okay, it's not dawn yet. Have something hot to eat first. Mom made this for you." Hai Dongcheng opened the lunchbox; the food was still warm.
It contains meat, vegetables, steamed buns, and fruit.
Duan Yueman couldn't hold back her tears.
"This is a medical book. Knowing you'd be bored here, my mother and I searched the whole house and could only bring this."
Hai Dongcheng took a book out of his bag and handed it to her.
Duan Yueman sobbed uncontrollably. Looking at the medical book, she said through tears, "Thank you for caring about me so much."
Seeing how heartbroken she was, Liu Yuanzhu comforted her, "Don't cry, everything will pass. Uncle Duan and Uncle Lan are also trying their best to find a solution, so don't worry."
"Yes, sister, please sit down and eat first." Hai Dongcheng helped her sit down and told her to eat first.
