Chapter 340

All along, wind and rain......

Du Shanü once thought her heart was as solid as a boulder.

However, that instant.

It's just that the sunshine is just right, and before heaven and earth have closed their eyes, that instant.

Du Shanü suddenly realized she had never been so clear before; her skills were not yet mastered.

The gentle youth on the wall waved at her unreservedly, showing a smile that could pierce the autumn.

Heaven and earth wither, sun and moon grow old.

Only he still retained his former hue, basking in the autumn light as he waited for Du Shanü.

If one said Du Shanü had previously been gloomy and wanted to kill, now she is utterly empty in body and mind.

She waved at Yu Baobao on the wall and said softly:

"Come quickly, be careful when coming down the wall."

"If you had told me you missed me, why go so long without replying to my letters, making me think you were angry with me......"

These words, of course, were only half true.

Because Du Shanü could clearly see a hint of doubt and sluggishness in Yu Baobao's lively descent from the wall.

Yu Baobao: "Wife Master, what are you saying? Haven't you been the one not replying to my letters? (? °? °?)"

What Wife Master's letter? I, Xiao Ai, don't know anything about it, oh?

This time Wife Master has been away from home for so long, he has been very enthusiastic about writing letters.

Considering the prior instructions, and afraid of adding trouble for Wife Master, he therefore restrained himself, maintaining the habit of writing home, but he had to let ten days or half a month accumulate before properly extracting a piece of longing from those notes to send out......

He thought, he really missed.

He missed, missed Wife Master.

But he also didn't know why, this time Wife Master left for over eight months without replying to a single letter.

From the start of his bitter waiting, helpless, he waited until his heart was tormented, constantly recalling whether he had written something wrong that angered Wife Master......

He is not disobedient.

He is not disobedient.

As long as Wife Master sends one letter, letting him obediently wait in Cang Cheng.

He would wait until the ends of the earth, just waiting for Wife Master to return home.

But Wife Master didn't even send a single letter, nor gave any hint, and others also stopped him......

This inevitably made him worry whether Wife Master had encountered something.

He missed Wife Master too much.

He missed Wife Master too much.

During the day he could barely distract himself with other things, but once night fell, his whole heart, along with each beat of blood flowing through flesh and veins, felt as if being finely gnawed by ants.

He endured and endured, enduring until the night before.

Finally he endured until he felt almost bitten away, and dazedly recalled the image of Wife Master smiling while stroking his face......

He ended up running away after all.

Others were unwilling to hitch a carriage for him, so he kept walking on his own, walking and walking, preparing to go see Wife Master.

If Wife Master really had encountered something, he would bring back her remains.

If Wife Master actually had nothing happen, he would just look at her more, then return home after being disliked......

He had decided.

He had decided everything.

But Wife Master said she had also written him many letters?

Yu Baobao was somewhat unable to understand.

He originally didn't often climb walls, his movements were somewhat sluggish and unfamiliar, so his descent was especially clumsy.

He intended to ask properly, but what surprised him even more was still to come——

Wife Master had previously stood behind the window, something blocking her, so only a small half of her figure was visible.

But after he descended the outer wall and happily climbed in through the window, he then saw......

He then saw that his family's Wife Master had at some point contracted a fatal illness, her belly swollen with a huge lump!

Yu Baobao held it in again and again, but finally couldn't hold back, revealing an expression of extreme sorrow:

"Wife Master! Wife Master!"

"What's happened to you!? Why is there such a big bump here!? Did someone poke you to make this bump——ouch! Wife Master, why are you flicking my forehead?"

On his way here, although he met many kind people who gave him rides, he also genuinely walked two days and two nights! o(╥﹏╥)o

He missed Wife Master so much, endured such hardship to come find her, finally seeing her after great difficulty, and was concerned for her body......

Wife Master flicks his forehead at the slightest disagreement!

She must not love him anymore!

Yu Baobao felt wronged, and then he ate another small forehead flick.

Du Shanü listened quietly to Yu Baobao's account; at the end she was initially doubtful, but upon taking a closer look at Yu Baobao's innocent demeanor, she felt even more helpless.

She still wanted to flick again, but the face before her was truly too aggrieved, so Du Shanü at least lowered her hand.

Du Shanü suppressed the faint doubt in her heart, gently took Yu Baobao's hand, and patiently explained:

"It's not an injury, nor did someone cause this bump...... I am pregnant, meaning there is another little one in my belly, unable to endure travel, which is why I haven't come back to see you."

"I wrote you a letter long ago, explaining everything clearly, and also told you not to worry, for you will surely also have...... that letter, you haven't seen it, have you?"

Saying "don't worry" is actually not accurate.

Yu Baobao would definitely not get angry and flare up unless faced with a life-threatening disaster.

Du Shanü fears that he will be heartbroken.

After all, it's a child conceived unexpectedly; she only came clean after several months, and once Yu Baobao learned of it, no one knows what will happen.

She feared Yu Baobao would be hurt, so she explained things very clearly.

However, she waited left and right, later sent many letters, but never received a reply.

Du Shanü always thought the reason was half that Yu Baobao was hurt and unable to reply, half that Yu Lve and others were applying pressure, preparing to seize this opportunity, to grasp her guilt and later demand more.

Therefore, she didn't think much further, only preparing for the child's birth and then to travel about.

However, upon looking now, the situation may be more complicated than she thought.

Yu Baobao actually never received any letters at all!

But she clearly sent so many!

Even if nowadays traveling and losing letters is common, even if so many letters, even if one got through, it wouldn't lead to the current situation!

Where exactly did things go wrong?!

Du Shanü's face was full of unspeakable feelings; for a moment she couldn't grasp the key.

Yu Baobao, however, was surprised; he cautiously reached out, wanting to touch his wife master's abdomen.

However, just this small motion, after Yu Baobao saw the thin dust on his hand, he felt embarrassed and cautiously withdrew.

Du Shanü naturally wouldn't really mind some dust; she seized his hand and rubbed her own belly.

At the instant his palm touched the fabric, the tiny movement of the fetus turning inside made Yu Baobao's whole body shudder, his face showing astonishment.

Du Shanü looked at his delighted face, her heart somewhat settled, about to speak, but she never expected Yu Baobao, flustered, to blurt out a sentence she couldn't have imagined even after racking her brain.

"Eh?! Pregnant?!"

"That's really great!!! I don't know whether, after this child is born, I'll be an older brother or an older sister......"

"What nonsense!"

"What nonsense!"

"The child's sex isn't decided yet—that's the child's sex!"

"What does it have to do with Yu Baobao being an older brother or older sister!"

"Yu Baobao is originally a man—how could he be an older sister!"

"Moreover, the most crucial point is, this child is hers and Chinu's."

"Yu Baobao is her proper husband; making him the child's older brother would mess up the generational order!"
