Chapter 32 Finding a Backer



“Hey old woman, force-feed me this. It’s fine if you starve to death, but my child needs to eat. Stop being so pretentious. Why did I choose such a useless thing like you?”

As soon as Jiang Meng finished speaking, she called over several old women to start forcibly feeding Chu Yue.

She had never been pregnant, so she didn't know that it was normal for pregnant women to have a poor appetite. Every day, she ate a lot of rich and nutritious food, such as chicken, duck, and fish, which made Chu Yue feel uncomfortable.

And so, tears mingled with the food, and I swallowed them down.

"Jiang Mengyi, you bitch, just you wait, one day I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" Chu Yue secretly vowed in her heart.

The general came to Yunxiang Tower without saying a word, only asking Ruan Yumu to pour wine, looking very worried.

"Oh, what's wrong? You've had your fun but now you realize being a man isn't easy, huh? Why don't you switch back? I'll definitely treat you better from now on."

Qi Jingxuan sneered. He couldn't change it back anyway. Even if he did, he wouldn't want to live in this backyard relying on his husband's favor.

He remained silent, silently drinking his wine, and the atmosphere between the two became awkward. Qi Jingxuan was already handsome and talented, and as a general and martial artist, he exuded a heroic and charming aura.

Ruan Yumu felt a sudden flutter in her heart, and now that he was drinking alone, he seemed somewhat vulnerable, which made Ruan Yumu feel a sense of pity for him.

He remained silent, probably because in peacetime, soldiers have no place to use their talents and their ambitions are thwarted. After all, Ruan Yu Mu understood men's psychology all too well.

Ruan Yu Mu watched as he kept drinking one cup after another, finishing both jugs of wine and still wanting to continue. Seeing that something was wrong, Ruan Yu Mu quickly took the jugs away.

"Enough! Why are you torturing this body? I'm more worried than you are. This used to be my body; are you going to ruin it?"

Qi Jingxuan looked at him, his tone turning cold, "Pour this general some wine!"

"No! What do you mean, 'General'? You're putting on airs now. No more drinking!" Ruan Yumu snatched the wine pot and hid it behind his back.

Qi Jingxuan ignored her and tried to snatch it back, but Ruan Yumu slipped and fell to the ground. He then leaned down and pressed his hand against her chest.

Your hand...

"This is my body too, so why not?"

"only···"

"Just what?" Before Ruan Yumu could continue, Qi Jingxuan stared straight at her, his cheeks flushed even more from the alcohol.

His body gradually warmed up, and he restrained Ruan Yu Mu's constantly moving hands, then lowered his head and kissed her.

...

The bright candlelight flickered inside the room, and the two of them warmed each other with their body heat in the cold winter.
