Chapter 1250: Post-Fear

~4 min read 705 words

Just as she finished taking the braised pork out of the space, packing it, and storing it in the space warehouse, she heard the sound of Zhui Feng outside.

Liu Chuxue hurriedly exited the space and discovered that Fu Yan Cheng had returned.

After a simple tidying up, she walked out: "Dad has been back for a long time; why are you only arriving home now?"

Fu Yan Cheng held up the items he was carrying: "I went to Kong Yizhang's to deliver the car, and on the way, I bought the roast duck and candied fruits you love to satisfy your craving."

Saying this, he embraced her and led her into the room.

Upon entering the room, Fu Yan Cheng's sharp eyes spotted the document bag on the table: "What is this?"

Liu Chuxue turned, her eyes and brows full of smiles: "A reward from above?"

Fu Yan Cheng's smile faded; he stepped closer and saw the certificate placed outside. Seeing the signature at the bottom, recalling Liu Chuxue's earlier nonchalant tone, he scooped her up into his arms: "Liu Chuxue, do you know how dangerous that situation was?"

Thinking of her pregnancy, his voice even trembled: "Have you thought about your own safety, about the baby in your belly, about me?"

Liu Chuxue knew anyone would worry about this; she reached out and wrapped her arms around Fu Yan Cheng's neck: "But nothing happened. Besides, I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. Also, I only acted because I felt I had the ability to protect myself."

Still, saying that, thinking about it did make her feel a bit of post-fear. Not to mention the heavy consequences, if she had actually been injured back then without knowing she was pregnant, and if she had carelessly used some forbidden medicine by accident, she would probably regret it until her intestines turned green: "Alright, alright, I won't take risks anymore. I will definitely protect the baby in my belly."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, raised his hand and gave her bottom a slap: "What about you? The baby is important, but you are the most important. I know it would be selfish if I said I didn't want you to deal with those matters anymore, whether for you or for the country, but I really don't want you to get hurt."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood his feelings: "I understand. In the future, I will think thrice before acting and will definitely not put myself in danger. I promise."

Seeing her raise her hand and make such a serious promise, Fu Yan Cheng found her appearance adorable: "You..."

He knew her personality better than anyone; this girl was doing it to put his mind at ease, but if she encountered such a situation again, she would likely rush forward without hesitation.

He said nothing more, simply pulling her tightly back into his embrace: "No matter when, always remember, your safety is the most important. Don't make me worry, okay?"

Hearing this, how could she not understand? She smiled and praised: "My man is truly righteous."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng let go of her body, raised his hand, and pinched her cheeks: "Don't think that because I understand you, you won't take your own safety to heart..."

Before he could say anything else, Liu Chuxue raised her hand and covered his mouth: "The matter is in the past; let's not talk about it. You should quickly look at the reward from above. I'm almost becoming a professional reward recipient; it's quite embarrassing."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't want to say anything else that might affect his wife's mood: "It's all what you deserve; there's no need to be embarrassed. I have always been proud of it."

Fearing Liu Chuxue might get tired, Fu Yan Cheng held her and sat down on a chair. Just as he was about to have a moment of sweet intimacy, he heard the front door being knocked on outside.

Liu Chuxue hurriedly got down from his embrace: "I'll put the things away; you go see who is here."

Fu Yan Cheng kissed his wife on the cheek, turned, and looked toward the direction of the front door: "Alright, I'll go check."
