The medicine is bitter in the throat, but it deeply penetrates into the heart.

  Yuè Mò took back the empty bowl, hastily handed over a sugar cube, and Měi Lì shook her head, leaning softly against the pillow. She silently gazed at Yuān Kè beside her, who stared with big, round eyes, looking curious about her. He was too adorable, and she couldn't help but pick him up. Yuān Kè then made cooing sounds, seemingly wanting to talk to her.

  Mei Li gently shook him, because she was taking medicine, she couldn't feed Yun Qian personally. Seeing his small mouth sticking to her clothes and searching back and forth, she felt a little guilty... She had already been guilty of too many things towards the child. It had been more than ten days since the first update, and after calming down, she regretted thinking of abandoning Yun Qian at that time.

  Outside, he suddenly remembered to ask for a safe voice, holding his child's arm trembling in an instant... He hasn't come all these days.

  He had changed into luxurious robes, no longer wearing mourning clothes. His darkened complexion and majestic aura were even more intense than before. For more chapters, please visit. Yu An's aunt came to report the good news to her that the Emperor had promoted him to Imperial Prince. These past few days, people coming to congratulate them must have crowded the mansion gates.

  He walked straight to the bedside, she was worried that the cold air on his body would chill Yun Ke, pulled down the small quilt and tightened her arms.

  Jingxuan didn't speak immediately, he just stood by the bed and looked at her, he knew she had made it through. Her eyes had regained their luster, no longer dull and lifeless, although they could never regain the vitality of her youth, but this gentle elegance... wasn't it precisely what had inexplicably captivated him?

  She is stronger than he imagined.

  A pang of pain suddenly rippled through his heart, and even the abandonment he had suffered at first, the desolation in the Anning Temple, she had silently endured. The pain intensified uncontrollably, and he thought of her faint, cold smile when she was just released, now... not even that distant smile existed anymore.

  "Is it better?" His throat was dry, and his words were hoarse and rough. He knew he was just making conversation, and even his own self-reproach had become habitual by now. Why did he need to ask? Her complexion had obviously improved a lot, and the old ancestor's careful nursing had paid off. After finishing her month of confinement, she no longer looked as pale and thin as before. Her pointed chin and sharp facial features had filled out, making her look even more beautiful. Her skin was smooth and radiant, seemingly even more delicate, and her tender white skin made her hair and eyelashes appear even blacker.

  She heard him speak, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her eyes, like the reflection of stars on water, quickly swept over him before returning to the baby in her arms. His heart, however, was stirred up by this unconscious brief glance, and he was somewhat annoyed to discover that just because of her fleeting gaze, his heart skipped a beat!

  He couldn't help but move closer to her and sit down on the edge of the bed, unable to tear his eyes away from her.

  "Good... much better." She patted Yun Ke lightly without looking at him.

  His heart suddenly leaped with joy because of her soft response, and he suddenly understood why those men who would rather be guilty of the world, abandon their fame and fortune, and even risk their lives to win a smile from a beauty were so willing to do so. He had always despised such behavior, thinking that men should not live for just one woman between heaven and earth. But at this moment, because of her calm words, his joy exceeded being promoted to a higher official rank!

  He couldn't help but ignore the people still watching, opening his arms to embrace her. For more and faster chapters, please go to...

  Having narrowly escaped losing her, the joy and relief he felt now made him think that he could let go of the past, even ignore the reason, ignore the child in her womb... as long as she was still alive and vibrant in this corner of the world within his reach, he would be fine.

  Yu Ke was squeezed by his sudden approach and let out a shrill cry in discontent.

  "Take him away! Take him down!" He too felt that Yun Ke was being a nuisance and impatiently waved his hand to dismiss him.

  Yuè Mò hóng zhe liǎn guò lái bào zǒu kū qì de yǔn kuài, měi lì běn néng de bù shě bào jǐn…… tā tū rán yī lìn, sì hū xiǎng dào le shén me, zhōng yú sōng kāi le shǒu.

  Jingxuan's heart was stabbed by her suddenly pale face, but he refused to think about it. When he hugged her again, she didn't struggle. The knife... pierced deeper.

  He didn't go to analyze his own urgent desire for her at this moment, eager, yes! After more than half a year, how could he not miss her? Tentative, yes. The old ancestor came to see her, and then she began to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, as if she had come to her senses, he wanted to know, how was she going to face him? More... is pain, is helplessness!

  Because he was too eager, she wasn't fully prepared yet, but he couldn't help himself and thrust deeply, it hurt a bit, but she didn't hold back her feelings anymore, she could finally be honest with her own body.

  She didn't want to think too much either, perhaps she finally found an excuse that even she believed in...

  His eyes, however, were getting deeper and more intense in the midst of their fervent passion. For the first time, he felt her cooperation and response! Perhaps it was because he had been too violent, but she, who had always been intentionally enduring, let out a soft and gentle cry, wanting to release the enchanting voice that had been suppressed for so long. The sound of her voice swept over his skin, making his blood boil to an unprecedented peak. Not only that... Her body, everything about her was cooperating with him, pleasing him, and he completely lost himself in madness.

  He finally lay on top of her, his body trembling with intense pleasure.

  She was also gasping violently, her consciousness confused, and her eyes were still tightly closed.

  He slowly clenched his fists, knowing it was futile but still hoping that accumulating strength could dispel the helplessness in his heart.

  He actually understands!

  Everything she did, her changes... were not a rebirth after despair, nor was it crossing that mental demon barrier.

  She's just for that child!

  Yonghe is dead, and he can't be the one who occupies her heart...

  He suddenly smiled silently and coldly, so self-deprecating and self-abasing. Never mind, as long as the man in her heart is no longer Yonghe!

  No matter what she is for...

  He was also relieved and satisfied.
