Qiao Dongzi noticed the darkness in Fu Yunchen's eyes, quickly shut his mouth, lowered his head, and ran towards the deck, saying, "I'll go check the terrain."
“Let’s go together.” Zhong Jiu followed closely behind.
Although Liu Xiaohuan didn't understand, she instinctively kept her distance from Fu Yunchen. Only in this way could she avoid feeling that chilling dread.
My mother always said that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
She understands now!
...
"I'm a little hungry," Mu Run suddenly said to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen was stunned for a moment. "What did you say?"
Mu Run said, "I haven't eaten and I'm a little hungry. Do you have any food with you?"
Fu Yunchen blinked rapidly, the eerie feeling vanishing instantly. He immediately pulled out two sesame seed cakes wrapped in oil paper, still warm from his body, from his pocket. "Is this okay?"
Mu Run nodded, took it, tore open the oil paper, and took a bite... The dough was soft and sweet with sesame candy, it must have been fresh out of the oven, it was delicious.
Sweets can soothe tense emotions and improve one's mood. After finishing two sesame candy cakes, Mu Run clearly felt much more comfortable.
She could also calmly look at Fu Yunchen and say a few words to him.
As for their surroundings, apart from the sound of the river's waves, there was not a single living person, and they were not afraid that their conversation would be overheard by others.
"What are your thoughts on this child?" The child doesn't belong to just one person; her previous decision was entirely based on her own feelings without considering his or her feelings. In this respect, she certainly didn't handle things properly.
Even if you don't want the child, you should discuss it with him and decide not to have it together, instead of forcing him to accept the outcome.
Fu Yunchen didn't expect her to ask him this question, "My... thoughts?"
Mu Run nodded, "However, let me first share my thoughts."
Fu Yunchen remained silent.
Mu Run said, "Giving birth to a healthy, normal child is not that simple. You know very well that Yu Shan drugged me. Those drugs will definitely have an effect on the child. What if we give birth to a mentally challenged child, or a child with some physical disability?"
Fu Yunchen looked at her and said, "The baby is still in your belly. A strong pulse means everything is fine."
"...That's my pulse. He's only the size of an egg now, how could you possibly feel him? Also, the effects of medication on a fetus are not as simple as you think."
"My thoughts are indeed very simple: I want this child! Even if he's missing an arm or a leg, or is mentally challenged." Fu Yunchen looked at her, his eyes resolute, even carrying a hint of madness.
Mu Run raised her hand and rubbed her temples. "Anyway, we can't keep this child. I can get pregnant again if you want later."
"No, you won't get pregnant again, you'll only have this one."
"How did you know?" Mu Run asked back.
Fu Yunchen remained silent for a long while before turning and leaving.
As she walked, she uttered a domineering statement: "You have to have this child, whether you like it or not!"
Watching his retreating figure, Mu Run sighed. She could give birth, so why wouldn't she want the child? It was her child… But knowing the child had problems, to still give birth would be irresponsible. Normal people struggle to survive in this world; how much more so for children who are abnormal or unhealthy? The scrutiny and pressure they endure during their growth will ultimately turn into suffering.
Fu Yunchen was in a bad mood!
It's reached its peak; anyone can see that.
Wherever they went, all the soldiers remained silent, except for the sounds of their armor and weapons moving.
