"My dear wife, what do you want me to say or do before you are willing to believe me? I wish I could take out my heart and show it to you." Ji Heng looked at her with a painful expression, knowing that Shu'er would be most vulnerable to this trick, and Shu'er would forgive him no matter what.

"Forget it, if you want to be a hero, I can't stop you, but I just hope you will consider the consequences before doing anything. I don't want my child to be born without a father." As soon as Shu'er finished speaking, Ji Heng's expression became excited.

"What did you say? I'm going to be a father!" Shu'er buried her head and ignored him. Seeing Shu'er's silence, Ji Heng became more excited. He pinched her arm as if he was going to crush it.

"Great, I'm going to be a father, my wife, when did you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Ji Heng looked at him bitterly. How long had she kept this secret from him, and he was like a dumb person, knowing nothing at all. He was so busy with official duties every day that he neglected to accompany her.

Shu'er counted with her fingers and pursed her lips and said, "It should be more than three months. I didn't dare to let my aunt see it, so I asked a doctor to come and see it privately. I didn't expect that I was really pregnant. I saw that you were busy with official duties every day and didn't want to disturb you. I kept putting it off, so I told you today."

"That's great, I'm going to be a father." Ji Heng could hardly hide his joy and excitement, and he just picked her up. Shu'er looked at the street at night where there were a few vendors packing up their stalls. She wondered how embarrassed they would be if they saw her.

"Oh, put me down quickly... Don't you see there are people here?" Shu'er lowered her head in embarrassment. Ji Heng was becoming more and more shameless. Ji Heng said to her coquettishly, "No, I want to hold you and your son."

"Who told you it was a boy? What if it was a girl?" Shu'er turned her head away unwillingly, thinking that what he said was extremely stupid.

"My wife, this is all my fault. I was too excited at the moment. I like both boys and girls. Let's go back and write a letter to our parents to let them know the good news. They will definitely be very happy!" Shu'er nodded, but in the blink of an eye she became worried.

She couldn't help but think of what her aunt had told her, that her body was the result of having once housed the Sixindi Gu, and that she had a serious bone marrow disease. The older she got, the more serious the disease would become, and she absolutely could not have children.

This would quickly ruin her body, but for Ji Heng, she had to give it a try, just like Xi Niang, who was able to get pregnant with twins even though she was already in her forties. She was so envious.

"My wife, I'll ask the kitchen to cook whatever you want to eat. If you want to taste Miss Xiangping's cooking, let's invite her to our house, okay?" Ji Heng could be said to be taking great care of her, which made Shu'er feel unprecedented warmth. She snuggled up to him and nodded silently.

The next morning, Ji Heng forcibly dragged Xiang Ping to the government office. Xiang Ping reluctantly went to the kitchen to make a few appetizing desserts. Looking at Ji Heng who was jumping up and down with joy, he said, "You are so rich, why don't you invite a few more powerful chefs to come? Why do you have to drag me here..."

"My wife likes your cooking, so I made her angry. So I want to apologize to her, but I can't. I know nothing about cooking except swordplay. So I want you to teach me some simple dishes."

"Oh, you two are so inseparable. You're going to annoy someone to death! Why do grown men need to learn how to cook? But never mind. I'll teach you how to make some boneless chicken feet and deep-fried chicken sweethearts." Xiangping generously handed him these dishes.

Ji Heng cooked quite well. It was unexpected that he had some talent in cooking. Xiang Ping looked at him with admiration.

"Master Xiangping, how about you try these things I made?" Ji Heng put a pair of chopsticks on top of each other, tasted a few pieces with a mature look on his face, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you have more experience in controlling the heat than those who have never cooked before.

It seems that you are not completely ignorant of cooking knowledge! "It was the first time that Xiangping saw a man who was so dedicated to cooking, and could be said to be tireless.

"With the master's praise, I feel much more at ease."

"Hey, but don't be proud and complacent. You cooked these vegetarian dishes well, but the meat dishes are still a bit particular. Seeing how you and Miss Shu'er have a love that is stronger than gold, I am so envious." Ji Heng took off his apron and heard her say that. It seemed that he had a lot of complaints and sarcasm that he didn't say out loud.

"Why don't you say that, Miss Xiangping? If you lower your standards, there will surely be many people who want to pursue you."

"Why should I lower my standards? No matter what, I must find someone like my sworn brother who can stand tall and proud. No matter if he is missing an arm or a leg, I am willing to serve him. It's a pity that there is no one in this world as brave and heroic as Yisheng!"

Xiang Ping sat aside, muttering to herself. Whenever she thought of this matter, her expression would soften. She was a little different from the usual Xiang Ping who was always bossing around in the kitchen. It seemed that even a tough woman could still be as soft as mud in front of love, making people unable to help but protect her.

"I have a few good friends in the military camp. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you. They have been guarding the battlefield for some time. I think they are very righteous."

Ji Heng's evaluation of them was very objective. They were good-looking, had good family backgrounds, and had made great contributions in the army.

"Forget it. I'm not interested in anyone introduced by others. I'm not as casual as Xiaoyu. Liang Xu and I did have an engagement before, but there's no chemistry between him and me." Xiangping said and threw the blame on Xiaoyu again.

Seeing her so noble, Ji Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "You just don't want to let go of your bottom line. If you let go of your bottom line, your life will be much better than it is now."

"Maybe I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life. You won't tell anyone else what I tell you today. Do you understand?"
