Chapter 1354 Are you being sincere?
Afterwards, Wenren Qichi carefully served Su Yueyao as she washed up and ate.
Su Yueyao looked at Wenren Qichi's slightly red hands and asked curiously, "Why are your hands so red? Did you burn yourself?"
"My lady, it's nothing. I just burned myself when I was pouring hot water this morning," Wenren Qichi said calmly.
Su Yueyao was somewhat incredulous. She reached out and grabbed his hand, only to find that his fingertips were red and swollen, not at all like he had been scalded while pouring water.
Wenren Qichi looked at Su Yueyao, who was deep in thought, pursed his lips, and sat down next to her.
"My lady, I..."
"Wenren, have you already served tea to Qianqian and the others?" Su Yueyao looked up at him and asked.
"Hmm." Wenren Qichi nodded and gave a soft "hmm."
"Did they make things difficult for you?" Su Yueyao asked with certainty as she looked at him.
"No, my lady, no, the lord and the others are all very well. After all, I did cause a lot of trouble after I entered the family, so it's understandable that they were angry. This way, we can get along better in the future. I understand, and I don't hold any resentment at all," Wenren Qichi explained.
Looking at Wenren Qichi's expression, Su Yueyao sighed, "Is that really what you think? Don't you feel wronged, or that I shouldn't stand up for you?"
"This is really good. I can feel that the husbands in the wife's backyard are all focused on her and only want her to live a comfortable life, so they don't bother to fight over anything."
“I am already very grateful that my wife asked me about me and showed concern for me. I would not want to make things difficult for her.”
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, a hint of heartache flashed in Su Yueyao's eyes: "Besides your hands, are there any other injuries?"
“Without my wife, I’m not injured anywhere else,” Wenren Qichi immediately shook his head and said.
Even though he was in pain all over, he absolutely couldn't say that so as not to worry her.
"Really? You're not allowed to lie to me, or I'll be very angry."
Wenren Qichi felt a little guilty after hearing what Su Yueyao said, but he held back and didn't say anything.
"Are there any other injuries?" Su Yueyao asked again, her tone slightly more serious.
"My lady, um... I sparred with the gentlemen, and I only have some bruises on my body."
Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao's lips twitched slightly, and she asked without hesitation, "Are they ganging up on you? Or are they competing against you one by one?"
"Based on my understanding of them, it's more likely that they'll attack together. After all, it was said that your martial arts skills were on par with Cheng Yan's. If they come at them one by one, they probably won't be satisfied and won't be able to vent their anger."
Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Wenren Qichi reached out and hugged her, saying with a hint of pity, "My wife really understands them. I originally wanted Yexing to help me hold them off, but Xingcejun directly called out Tianyi and the others, and Yexing was also beaten up."
Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao let out a low laugh: "Is Ye Xing that rather unruly subordinate of yours?"
"Yes, I usually only have three people with me: Night Walker, Blood Shadow, and Sleepless."
"I sent Blood Shadow out to investigate some things, but he hasn't returned yet. Sleepless is a doctor, and I've already notified him to come back."
"My lady, would you like to take care of these three from now on? They are all skilled fighters, and their martial arts abilities are beyond question."
"No, I don't want to get involved. Xingchen and his men are all under my own control. I only know them. I haven't taken care of the people who usually guard me in the shadows."
"Just inform Qianqian and the others about your manpower and resources, so that our people don't clash with each other in the future," Su Yueyao said.
"My lady...actually...you should accept him. That would be a constraint on us. People's hearts are fickle; only..."
"I believe you won't hurt me. I'm content with the life I have now, even though you betrayed me yesterday. If I were to be wary of you, you would feel uncomfortable."
"So this is fine. Besides, Qi Chi, have you thought about this? You'll both have children in the future. With the children in my hands, what can you do to cause trouble?" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
Wenren Qichi chuckled upon hearing this. She was clearly concerned for them, yet she brought up the child. While the child was important to them, she was even more important.
Wenren Qichi's eyes were filled with doting affection: "My wife, I love children. Will you give me a few more?"
Hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Su Yueyao froze and looked at him: "Wenren, are you sincere? Do you really like children that much? Do you know how you reacted after I became pregnant with your child? Your reaction was just too..."
Wenren Qichi interrupted Su Yueyao and said, "When a woman is pregnant, the father of the child will have a reaction. It's always there. I can endure it. I'm not that delicate."
"No, Wenren, it's not about being delicate or not. You don't know that after I get pregnant, your reactions will be very strong. It's not as simple as you think."
"That's alright. I'm a real man, I'm not afraid."
“My lady, as long as you are willing to have my child, I am willing to have it. I really like children, and no one is forcing me.”
Su Yueyao: “…”
Unable to understand, Su Yueyao shook her head helplessly. Is this something related to liking children?
She felt that everyone else liked children too. After all, they were good to their own children, and when they saw other people's children, they were all happy and held them tightly.
But when it comes to the idea of having another child for them, they wish they could disappear on the spot and never see her again. Before they married into the family, none of them believed it, but after they experienced it, they were proven wrong.
She couldn't bear to refuse Wenren Qichi's firm request.
But she still left him some room to maneuver and didn't say it outright, changing the subject by saying, "There's no rush to have a baby. Let me see your injuries first."
“My lady… no need to look, there’s no bleeding, just some bruising, it will go away in a couple of days.”
"For bruises, you should apply some ointment to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis so they heal faster. That way, you won't be in too much pain when you wake up tomorrow. I'll go and have someone bring some medicine over." After saying that, Su Yueyao walked towards the door.
“No need, my wife, I have medicine here, it’s really nothing to worry about,” Wenren Qichi immediately said, pulling her along.
"Give me the medicine, take off your clothes, and I'll apply the medicine for you."
"Hurry up! Otherwise I'll get angry. I've been keeping you company these past two days. After these two days, I'm going to other men's rooms. Then it'll be hard for you to see me." Su Yueyao snorted.
Seeing that Su Yueyao was still not giving up, Wenren Qichi resignedly took out the ointment and handed it to her.
Su Yueyao took it and gestured for him to quickly take off his clothes.
