Chapter 434: Husband and Wife Whispers

Su Hao knew Su Chen was faking it, but he did not point it out, merely letting out a cold snort.

"You brat are the best at being lazy and slippery," Su Hao said.

Su Chen revealed his eight pearly white teeth and chuckled.

"Although your current achievements are very high, you must know the principle that it is lonely at the top. A single moment of carelessness can lead to total ruin. I cannot help you with anything now; you must be careful, careful, and even more cautious in everything."

Su Hao sighed, looking at Su Chen with a complex expression, and said earnestly.

The expression on Su Chen's face became slightly more serious.

He nodded and immediately said, "I know, Dad, I will be careful."

"Your mother often thinks of you when she is at home. If you have time, spend more time talking to her; after all, she only has you as a son."

Su Hao revealed a loving smile, "No matter what, I am proud of you."

"Mm."

Su Chen responded solemnly.

After leaving Su Hao's residence, Su Chen could not help but go find Xiao Ruoyu.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyu was still heavily pregnant, laboriously lifting something.

Su Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help her take it, and only after confirming that Xiao Ruoyu was safe and sound did he heave a sigh of relief.

"You are about to be a mother, how can you still be so careless? You can just use Spiritual Power for such a small matter; why do you need to do it yourself?"

Su Chen pulled Xiao Ruoyu into his embrace, one large hand brushing over her belly, while the other hand pinched Xiao Ruoyu's cheek as if in punishment.

Xiao Ruoyu felt a bit embarrassed, pursed her lips, and leaned against Su Chen's chest like a little bird.

"I wanted to handle the things in here myself."

Xiao Ruoyu said softly, "Besides, our child is not that fragile. It was just moving a heavy object; I am not a porcelain doll that will shatter from a little effort."

That was indeed the logic, but seeing Xiao Ruoyu like this, Su Chen's heart was gripped in an instant, terrified that something might happen.

Su Chen was furious, but since Xiao Ruoyu was right, he could not find a good reason to retort and, for a moment, had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"I want to see exactly what kind of important thing this is that you treasure so much, even while pregnant, you have to do it yourself."

Su Chen said irritably, his words clearly carrying a tone of sulking.

Xiao Ruoyu clearly heard that Su Chen was unhappy, but for once, she did not explain, only gently biting her lip.

Seeing her not speaking, Su Chen felt his blood boil, and unable to care about anything else, he pulled open the box directly.

Inside lay a few small sets of baby clothes, and there were even adult-sized ones, identical in style to the children's, with three of each style in different sizes.

The embroidery was exquisite, clearly practiced many times, and these were not ordinary clothes, but Dharma Garments, though they were not necessarily of the highest quality.

But for Xiao Ruoyu, who had never done this before, to be able to make things with her own hands showed just how much effort she had put in.

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at Xiao Ruoyu, feeling at a loss.

Xiao Ruoyu felt a bit embarrassed and turned her head away, pretending to be angry.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie tension; no one spoke, and the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

"Did you make these yourself?" Su Chen was still somewhat incredulous. The craftsmanship was so delicate, the patterns so exquisite, and the auspicious Dragon patterns, the embroidered flowing clouds, and even the mandarin ducks and koi fish all symbolized beautiful meanings.

For those of them who cultivate, they do not actually care much about worldly traditions, as they have seen the real things and have the ability to conquer them, so they do not worship them excessively like mortals.

Yet the effort Xiao Ruoyu put into this embroidery was evident, and the material was also quite extraordinary; it could be sold for a high price outside and would be snatched up instantly.

Xiao Ruoyu turned her head away, avoiding Su Chen's gaze, and said nothing, clearly still angry at Su Chen for earlier.

Su Chen also knew that what he had done just now was inappropriate. He was acting out of concern, and although his intentions were good, he had invisibly hurt Xiao Ruoyu's heart.

Putting himself in her shoes, if he had worked hard for a long time to make something for someone else, putting in a lot of effort, only to be scolded like that, he would probably be heartbroken on the spot, feeling that all his efforts had been in vain.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately softened his expression. A real man stands tall and upright, but he must admit when he has done wrong.

He gently pulled Xiao Ruoyu into his arms.

"I've troubled you, Ruoyu. I didn't know before; I was just too worried about your health. I promise I will never be like that again."

Su Chen said in a gentle, soft voice, burying his head into Xiao Ruoyu's neck. His warm breath brushed against her skin, ticklish and carrying a hint of flirtatiousness.

Xiao Ruoyu's expression softened. She knew when to stop while ahead, and since Su Chen was able to admit his mistake to her, her anger had already dissipated by more than half.

"After all, they belong to our two children, carrying our beautiful hopes, and also symbolizing love."

Xiao Ruoyu said softly.

"I know, all the faults are mine. It's all my fault for not understanding the cause and effect of the matter before scolding you like that."

Su Chen's words were now tinged with a hint of acting spoiled, his voice soft.

Xiao Ruoyu was no longer angry at all, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, I'm not angry anymore."

Xiao Ruoyu said sweetly, "You are a real man, yet you admit your mistakes to me. If those women who admire you outside saw this, their hearts would probably break."

"If I do something wrong, I have to admit it. Besides, you are my woman; what is wrong with admitting a mistake to my own woman? Face is for the outside world, not for you."

Su Chen said with a chuckle, rubbing against her with his fuzzy head twice.

The faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose immediately put him in a great mood.

"Ruoyu, I want you, what should I do?"

Su Chen's voice was muffled, and as he spoke, it unconsciously carried a hint of hoarseness, looking at Xiao Ruoyu with hope.

Xiao Ruoyu was facing away from Su Chen, so she could not see the expression on his face, but she could feel a burning gaze from behind following her like a shadow.

Her body stiffened. She had not seen Su Chen for a long time and naturally missed him very much, but she was still pregnant and could not mess around.

"Don't be like this... there is still the baby."

Xiao Ruoyu's voice was clearly ineffective; on the surface, she was trying to persuade him, but it truly lacked any deterrent power.

Being held by Su Chen from behind, almost all the weight of her body pressed onto him; if not for Su Chen's support, she probably would not have been able to hold herself up.

Su Chen laughed softly, the smile traced by his lips brushing across Xiao Ruoyu's neck.
