At night, the room was warm.

Qin Ye sat on the bed, supporting herself with her hands on the edge of the bed, looking down at the man who was soaking her feet with his own hands, and was briefly absent-minded.

She still remembered what he had said before:

"Ye'er, I like our current relationship. We don't need children to disturb us..."

But his behavior these days shows that he completely loves this child.

Zong Zhengchen bent over and washed her feet, massaging them at the same time. When the water cooled down to a certain temperature, he wiped the water stains on her feet and covered her with a quilt.

He went to get some water, washed up, and came back a quarter of an hour later.

Qin Ye moved inside to make room for him.

After extinguishing the candlelight, she was not sleepy at all. She moved her body slightly to attract Zong Zhengchen's attention:

"Can't sleep?" he asked.

She paused, "I haven't been out for the past few days, and my body is weak from sleeping."

"There are two of you now, so you have to sleep in pairs." He put his long arms around her, turned sideways, and put his other hand on her back, patting her gently.

"He fell asleep after patting me."

As gentle as coaxing a child.

Qin Ye laughed.

She seemed like an older child who still needed to be coaxed like this, but she had something on her mind and kept thinking about it, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

a long time.

Zong Zhengchen seemed to have noticed something and asked in a deep voice:

"Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Qin Ye paused slightly.

He was very sharp and alert... rather than saying that, it would be better to say that he knew her very well and could see through her at a glance.

She pursed her lips, brewed her words, and then spoke:

"Are you...hiding something from me?"

When she asked this question, she had already made preparations for the follow-up.

If he says yes, he will explain himself.

If he said no, then he was lying to her, and what she hated most was when someone lied to her.

As long as he admitted it, she didn't even know what the consequences would be...

In the dim room, the two of them were hugging each other tightly in the warm bed, their breath spraying on each other's face, unable to see each other's appearance. After a short silence, the man's low voice:

"have."

He said: "I did lie to you in some way without violating my principle of loving you, but I abide by morality, bottom line, law, and humanity. Everything I did had my reasons."

Sometimes, many lies are told with good intentions.

The man's answer was beyond Qin Ye's expectations, but it also satisfied her.

This is the answer he deserves.

Qin Ye looked up and asked directly: "In the past half month, Han Ying came every night after I went to bed. Why?"

The man's action of patting her on the back suddenly froze.

She knew all of this...

It was just a moment before he returned to normal and patted her on the back gently, knowing that she was smart and that explaining things clearly was the right thing to do.

He didn't hide it anymore, "Do you remember the time when we went to Dongning City to quell the epidemic and you suddenly fell into a coma and lost consciousness?"

Qin Ye naturally remembered.

That time, she was infected with an epidemic disease and later woke up after taking medicine.

"The disease has mutated. The mutated poison... has no cure and has always been in your body."

"What?!" Qin Ye was stunned.

How come she doesn't know about this?

If there was poison in her body, how could she not know it? How could she have been safe for so long?

"At that time, no medicine could save you. I broke into Big Brother's camp and kidnapped the Miao woman named Wu Nu. She told me that you were dying and that the only way to save your life was to lead the poison to your lower abdomen and pass it on to your child so that the poison could be excreted from the body through the child..."
