◎Xue Lingyu ran off with the ball!◎

Xue Lingyu's expression was blank for a moment, then returned to normal. He stared at Ji Weinian for a moment, then parted his thin lips and clearly uttered a sentence, "My head still hurts."

When Jiang He heard him say he had a headache, she immediately stepped forward with concern and held his hand to comfort him. When Xue Lingyu touched the warmth in Jiang He's palm, he was slightly startled, but quickly covered it up and did not let Jiang He notice anything amiss.

Jiang He asked anxiously, "Imperial Physician Ji, is there any way to relieve the Lady's headache?"

Ji Weinian quickly gave his answer, "Acupuncture can help the young master."

Jiang He looked at Xue Lingyu, who was bowing his head and remaining silent. His hand was supporting his head, and his expression showed that he was not in good condition. Moreover, the bruise on his forehead contrasted sharply with his fair skin, making Jiang He feel a pang of heartache.

Jiang He felt extremely guilty because she hadn't been there for him in time, which led to his injury.

She asked Xue Lingyu gently, "Then let Physician Ji administer acupuncture for you, shall we?"

Xue Lingyu looked up, saw her cautious expression, and nodded.

Jiang He was worried that Xue Lingyu would be scared by being alone, since he was pregnant and extremely vulnerable, so she wanted to stay and watch Physician Ji administer acupuncture. Physician Ji didn't mind. Xue Lingyu had been very quiet since waking up and hadn't said a word.

Ji Weinian's medical skills were superb, and acupuncture is painless. After she inserted the needle, Xue Lingyu's headache was indeed relieved a lot, and her furrowed brows relaxed a bit. After the acupuncture was over, Xue Lingyu's headache was indeed gone.

Xue Lingyu looked at Ji Weinian and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Physician Ji."

Ji Weinian bowed to Xue Lingyu, then packed his medicine box, said goodbye to Jiang He, and left. Before leaving, he left a prescription, saying that it could help Xue Lingyu stabilize her pregnancy.

Jiang He ordered Yuan Ge to investigate who Xue Lingyu had been in contact with these past few days. Sure enough, she found some clues. Xue Lingyu must have seen those things from before and thought that she had someone else in her heart, which is why she was so sad and depressed.

Jiang He wanted to explain to him, but this would inevitably involve Xue Lingyu's identity. He was currently suffering from amnesia, and if he remembered at this time, who knew what changes might occur to the wedding.

After all, the Xue Lingyu of the past might not have had her in his heart.

Jiang He hugged Xue Lingyu from behind and patiently coaxed him, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. This time it was all my fault. If you're still angry, you can hit me or scold me, it's all fine."

"I'm not angry." Xue Lingyu sensed Jiang He's presence and her fearful and worried attitude, and sighed silently. "After all, that's all in the past."

Seeing that he seemed genuine, Jiang He still asked uncertainly, "Are you really not angry?"

Xue Lingyu repeated, "Don't be angry."

Jiang He's heart finally settled. She tidied Xue Lingyu's stray hairs behind his ears, and looking at the red jade agate in his hair bun, a joyful expression appeared on her face as she prepared for their upcoming wedding. "The wedding is in a few days. I will stay by your side every step of the way from now on and promise that I will never make you sad again, okay?"

Xue Lingyu nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

After returning to the palace, Ji Weinian stayed in the Imperial Hospital, saying she wanted to research a peerless prescription and instructed no one to disturb her. Naturally, the people in the Imperial Hospital dared not disobey her.

After making preparations, Ji Weinian quietly left the palace again the next day, this time going to an inconspicuous private residence.

Although Zeng Rong was transferred back to the capital, her rank remained the same as before, that of a seventh-rank military officer. In principle, her salary was not much. In addition, she was influenced by Xue Lingyi's frugality, so as a court official, she chose to live in an ordinary house.

However, this also has an advantage: the mix of good and bad makes it difficult for others to discover anything about you.

Ji Weinian knocked on the door of Zeng Rong's residence. After a short while, a woman with a heroic appearance opened the door. Seeing that it was an old man, she asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Ji Weinian lowered her voice and said, "The eldest young master asked me to come and ask you for help."

Zeng Rong was somewhat incredulous, wondering if she had misheard in her haste: "Young Master?"

She had seen the eldest young master a few days ago. He was going to marry Jiang He, the woman he used to look down on the most, and even pretended not to know her. This puzzled Zeng Rong, and she even felt that the woman might not be the eldest young master.

The eldest son despises Jiang He the most, and he would not be willing to submit to her even if the Xue family fell into decline.

But the old man in front of him didn't seem to be lying. Zeng Rong pushed open the door and invited Ji Weinian in: "Come in first and we'll talk."

Ji Weinian briefly explained why Xue Lingyu married Jiang He because of amnesia, without revealing the matter of the fake death medicine. After all, if this matter were to be brought up, not only would her disciple be punished, but she would also be implicated.

After hearing this, Zeng Rong gritted her teeth and slapped her thigh. She thought to herself, "How could someone as refined and elegant as the eldest young master be willing to marry a merchant? It turns out that Jiang He took advantage of the situation. She's truly shameless!"

Although Zeng Rong was not Xue Lingyi's most favored disciple, he had mastered all of Xue Lingyi's teachings. Both master and disciple had a strong sense of social class. Although Zeng Rong was of low rank, he had worked his way up from humble beginnings and was not in the same league as merchants who squandered money at will.

Ji Weinian had already inquired about Zeng Rong's personality and thought that she was indeed the best candidate to rescue the young master. No wonder the young master hinted that she should come to Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong, seething with anger, said indignantly, "Sir, how should we rescue the young master? Should we just go and kidnap him? Just say the word, and I'll go!"

Ji Weinian quickly nipped her reckless idea in the bud, "There will be so many people watching on the wedding day, and the general may not be able to get away easily. Moreover, the eldest son is currently five months pregnant, so it is not advisable for him to rush around and exert himself."

As for how to leave the Jiang family, Xue Lingyu had already given an arrangement in a few words. Ji Weinian couldn't help but sigh that Xue Taifu's grand-nephew was just as clever as him. He took advantage of the acupuncture time to write words in the air to send messages without letting anyone notice.

Jiang He is unaware that Xue Lingyu has regained her memories, so it is not difficult for Xue Lingyu to leave.

Ji Weinian told Zeng Rong about the plan that had been finalized. Zeng Rong listened and nodded, and said that she would definitely go to rescue the eldest son on time.

That night, Xue Lingyu tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Jiang He, who was almost asleep, woke up immediately upon hearing his voice. She gently touched his swollen belly and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is the baby fussy?"

Jiang He could feel Xue Lingyu's heavy breathing and was afraid that he was having a nightmare, so she hugged him and wanted him to know that she was always there for him.

Xue Lingyu's body stiffened involuntarily. The kinder Jiang He was to him, the more guilty he felt. There were so many handsome men in the world; if Jiang He just asked, they would throw themselves at her. But he...

Xue Lingyu smiled bitterly. He was still a slave, and his former pride had been crushed into dust. How could he be worthy of Jiang He?

He composed himself and said, "I'm fine."

As if hearing his insincere words, the child in her womb actually stirred a little. Xue Lingyu felt the vibrant life within her and was speechless with emotion.

He never imagined that he and Jiang He would have a child together. Jiang He's behavior during her amnesia was completely different from his usual self; even her sweet, affectionate words were something he was no longer capable of...

However, he will give birth to this child and raise him in a place unknown to Jiang He. The child can even take the surname Jiang, but he cannot stay by Jiang He's side.

“Father will be back from Fahua Temple the day after tomorrow, and he will be able to witness our wedding. My uncle’s family will also arrive on the same day, and my mother has invited many friends, almost all the noble families in the capital.” Jiang He said this to make Xue Lingyu happy. She really valued him and cared about him, and wanted the whole world to know that he was going to marry her.

Even though he was still seen as a criminal slave by outsiders, the Xue family's injustice was about to be cleared. When his status was restored, she would surely earn him an imperial title, making him the envy of everyone in the capital.

"I will make sure you marry me in a grand and glorious way."

There was one more thing Jiang He didn't mention: Xue Lingyi was also about to return to the capital. Although the exact date was uncertain, Xue Lingyu would be able to see her soon.

It's unknown whether Xue Lingyu will remember anything upon seeing her long-lost mother. Although Jiang He is worried, she will not stop Xue Lingyu from seeing her family.

After listening to her say so much, Xue Lingyu's throat tightened with emotion: "Jiang He..."

Hearing the sob in his voice, Jiang He panicked. "Did I say something wrong? Or do you not like crowds? If you don't like it, then I'll..."

Xue Lingyu interrupted her: "No."

"Can you just hold me like this and sleep?"

Before leaving, Xue Lingyu wanted to savor Jiang He's warmth one last time.

It turned out to be such a small matter, so Jiang He certainly wouldn't refuse. Besides, she really liked holding Xue Lingyu; his body was soft and fragrant. If she weren't mindful that he was pregnant, she would definitely want to cherish him.

Before Xue Lingyu closed her eyes, she asked Jiang He, "Have you chosen a name for the child?"

Jiang He is the child's mother, so she should be the one to name the child.

This was indeed the right question for Jiang He. Ever since she learned that Xue Lingyu was pregnant, she had been reading through classical texts, trying to find a good name for the child. After much effort, she finally came up with a nice name.

"If it's a girl, we'll name her Jiang Mian; if it's a boy, you can choose her."

Xue Lingyu is well-read, which is far superior to what she, a half-baked scholar, could possibly do. Choosing a name for her was already a huge challenge, and besides, if it were a boy, he would surely be as dignified and gentle as Xue Lingyu, making him the perfect choice.

The little one in her belly was lively and active, and Xue Lingyu felt it would be a girl. After carefully reading the name Jiang Mian several times, she commented, "Jiang Mian is a good name."

He decided that whether it was a girl or a boy, they would all be named Jiang Mian.

Recently, several memorials impeaching Kang Minzhi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, were presented to the Emperor. These memorials were written by several senior censors. After reading the contents, the Emperor was furious. Over the years, Kang Minzhi had not only accepted bribes and oppressed good people, but was also involved in a case of selling smuggled salt. It should be noted that the former Prime Minister Xue Lingyi was implicated in one of the crimes that led to his downfall.

The emperor immediately ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter and to find out the truth about the salt smuggling case.

Upon receiving word of this, Kang Minzhi immediately went to find Liu Jing, trembling with fear.

"Sir, once the smuggled salt case is uncovered, the murder case will be impossible to cover up. After all, you were also involved in selling smuggled salt, and this person is also..."

Liu Jing said sternly, "Shut up."

"My lord, what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die? I heard His Majesty has already summoned Xue Lingyi back to the capital. We only have half a month at most." Kang Minzhi was so anxious she was practically pacing back and forth, fearing that if something was discovered, she would suffer the same fate as Xue Lingyi. However, she was also different from Xue Lingyi; in that case, His Majesty would certainly show no mercy...

Liu Jing cursed Kang Minzhi as an idiot, then frowned and said, "There's not even half a month left. My people have found out that Xue Lingyi will arrive in the capital in no more than three days."

Kang Minzhi stood there dumbfounded, never expecting things to develop to this point. Wasn't she doomed?

Liu Jing remained calm. "Right now, we can only send someone to intercept and kill Xue Lingyi. If that fails, we can use her son as leverage."

This is the last resort. If Xue Lingyi manages to turn the tables in front of His Majesty, the entire Ministry of Personnel will suffer the consequences.

Liu Jing grabbed Kang Minzhi by the collar and said in a chilling tone, "I will send my guards to accompany you to intercept and kill Xue Lingyi. As for the Jiang family, success is the only option. Do you understand?"

Kang Minzhi was startled by Liu Jing's appearance and quickly nodded, saying, "I heard you clearly, I heard you clearly."

Liu Jing narrowed her eyes dangerously. Although Su Yawan, this rising star, was targeting the Ministry of Personnel, it was out of a thirst for power. She still couldn't understand who was helping Xue Lingyi behind the scenes; this person must have a significant connection to the Xue family...

Jiang He felt that Xue Lingyu had become somewhat strange since she fainted that day. Before, she could still talk to the little servants around her, and would even hug her neck and act coquettishly and jealously, wanting to stick to her all day long. But now she had become much more indifferent, and even her favorite food was not eaten much.

Jiang He was also taking care of a pregnant man for the first time, and there were many things she didn't understand. So she asked the servants who had experience in childbirth and finally learned that Xue Lingyu's reaction was a normal reaction during pregnancy.

"A man's mood can fluctuate when he is pregnant. As the pregnancy progresses, he may become irritable for no reason. Miss, you need to be more tolerant. Otherwise, the pregnant man will feel uncomfortable and cry on his own, which will affect the baby in the womb."

Don't make Xue Lingyu angry; be tolerant and don't let him cry alone.

Jiang He wrote all of this down on paper and even tucked it into one of her favorite books so she wouldn't forget it.

At lunchtime, Jiang He specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare some light dishes and also made winter melon and old duck soup, so that it wouldn't feel greasy and could warm the stomach. However, Xue Lingyu couldn't help but spit it out after only a few sips.

Jiang He quickly put down her bowl and walked over to him. "What's wrong?"

She spoke while patting Xue Lingyu's back.

Xue Lingyu felt a churning in his stomach, and acid reflux rose to his throat. But the soup was clearly bland and had no oil at all, so it must be his own problem.

Xue Lingyu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, suppressing her nausea, and said, "My stomach is a little upset, I can't eat anything."

Jiang He's first thought was morning sickness. She had seen her brother suffer from loss of appetite and become emaciated. Xue Lingyu didn't have morning sickness at first, and she was somewhat relieved that he didn't have to suffer from it, but she didn't expect that he still couldn't escape it.

"I want to eat something spicy, maybe it will make me feel better." Xue Lingyu looked at Jiang He, "The spicy chicken at Ruyi Restaurant is pretty good, I suddenly want to eat it."

Jiang He immediately walked out, saying, "I'll go buy it for you right away."

She couldn't let Xue Lingyu and the baby in her womb go hungry, but the round trip would take at least half an hour. She was a little worried about Xue Lingyu, so she suddenly stopped at the door and said to her:

"Wait for me to come back, don't wander off."

"good."

Only after hearing Xue Lingyu's words did Jiang He feel relieved enough to leave.

She could have asked Yuange to buy it, but since pregnant men always need to be careful about what they eat, she decided to personally watch the chefs at Ruyi Restaurant prepare the dishes, so that everything would be perfect.

There was also Xue, who kept talking about wanting to eat pastries from Ruyi Restaurant, so Jiang He decided to bring him some as a reward for protecting Xue Lingyu during this period.

After Jiang He left, Ji Xue returned to Xue Lingyu's side from the shadows.

The table was full of delicious dishes, and Ji Xue couldn't help but swallow hard, but he immediately looked away, as the young lady had told him not to eat anything casually.

Xue Lingyu noticed Ji Xue's craving and pushed the soup in front of him, saying, "There's still some unused soup in the bowl. I can't drink it all, and it would be a waste to pour it away. Why don't you drink it for me?"

Xue asked, "Pretty brother, are you going to eat the spicy chicken that Miss bought, so you're not going to drink the soup?"

Xue Lingyu nodded. "Yes, drink up."

Hearing Xue Lingyu say this, Ji Xue no longer had any reservations. After all, the handsome brother was one of their own and also the young lady's husband. Eating his food couldn't be considered casual.

Seeing that Ji Xue had finished the soup, Xue Lingyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Ji Xue had been with him, he probably wouldn't have been able to get away so easily. Only by getting Ji Xue away first could Zeng Rong find an opportunity to take him away.

Xue Lingyu suddenly felt as if the baby in his belly had kicked him. He wondered if the little one knew he was leaving, because it became even more active, making him quite tired.

Xue Lingyu placed her hand on her swollen belly and thought to herself, "Child, listen to your father."

Xue Lingyu looked at the sky outside. He had at most half an hour to leave. If he couldn't leave today, he would have to obediently marry Jiang He.

After finishing the soup, Xue suddenly clutched his stomach in pain and said, "Handsome brother, I need to go to the toilet!"

After Xue left, Xue Lingyu also stood up from the chair, went back to the inner room, took off her brocade robes, and changed into the clothes of an ordinary servant.

The young master himself came to the kitchen of Ruyi Restaurant, so the manager naturally had to treat him with the utmost hospitality, fearing that the young manager might be dissatisfied with anything or find fault with anything, otherwise she, as the manager, would not be able to continue in her position.

The chefs at Ruyi Restaurant come from all over the country, each with their own specialty dishes. It is famous for its delicious food among so many restaurants in the capital. No one in the capital is unaware of the name Ruyi Restaurant, but few people know that the owner behind the restaurant is Jiang He.

Jiang He is now glad that she didn't sell the restaurant back then, otherwise Xue Lingyu might not have been able to eat spicy chicken. Ordinary people would have to wait for several hours to get a table at Ruyi Restaurant.

The chef who specializes in spicy chicken comes from Sichuan and Chongqing and is most skilled at tossing food in a wok. She never expected that one day the young master would come to watch her cook. She was flattered and nervously finished the dish, afraid that she might have added too little or too much seasoning and displeased the young master.

Jiang He dislikes spicy food and can even be said to be unable to eat spicy food, but she tried this dish herself. The spicy taste rushed into her nasal cavity, and she immediately coughed. She only felt a little better after drinking the water brought by the shopkeeper, but her eyes were still burning with tears.

"This is the level of spiciness for spicy chicken. Since the young master can't handle spice, I'll make a new one with less chili." The cook said, taking the spicy chicken away.

"No need, just pack it in a food box. I want authentic spicy chicken." Jiang He waved her hand. "I'm in a hurry, so it'd better be quick."

It's said that sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl. If Xue Lingyu likes spicy food, does that mean she's carrying a girl?

My daughter will probably be just as mischievous and active as she was when she was little.

Jiang He came out of Ruyi Restaurant with a food box in her hand. She had been out for almost half an hour, and she needed to hurry back, otherwise it would be her fault if Xue Lingyu went hungry.

Just as Jiang He was about to mount her horse, she saw a somewhat familiar guard. As he got closer, she recognized him as Su Yawan's guard. The guard rushed up to her and said in a low voice, "Miss Jiang, I've finally found you. Lord Su asked me to tell you that Xue Lingyi was attacked on the outskirts of the capital. This time, the attackers sent some experts they didn't know where they found. Lord Su has personally gone to rescue her, but we don't know how things are going now."

Xue Lingyi's return is just around the corner, and those people naturally won't let this opportunity slip by. However, Jiang He didn't expect that Su Yawan would actually go in person, which shows that the expert this time is no ordinary martial arts master.

She did have several highly skilled guards by her side, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to rush back for reinforcements. Moreover, Ji Xue also had to protect Xue Lingyu and had no time to spare for this matter.

Jiang He handed the food box to the guard and said decisively, "Help me send this back to the Jiang residence. I will go outside the city to check it myself."

She took the sword from the guard's waist and spurred her horse towards the city gates.

Xue Lingyi cannot be harmed. If she dies, even if the truth comes out in the future, Xue Lingyu will have lost her family and have no one to rely on.

Su Yawan had to admit that she had underestimated the strength of those people in the Ministry of Personnel. She had no idea where Kang Minzhi had suddenly found so many experts, each of whom was ruthless and attacked Xue Lingyi’s vitals. Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise Xue Lingyi would have become a victim of the blade.

However, by doing so, Su Yawan completely exposed herself. When Kang Minzhi saw her protecting Xue Lingyi behind her, he clicked his tongue a few times and said, "Lord Su, I didn't expect that it really was you who secretly assisted Xue Lingyi. But since you're here, you'll die with Xue Lingyi today."

The thought that she had not only completed the task given to her by Minister Liu, but also eliminated the hatred in Minister Liu's heart, made Kang Minzhi feel that a broad road was laid out in front of her. At that time, Minister Liu would definitely reward her for her achievements and promote her.

Su Yawan didn't bring many people, and Kang Minzhi's men were all true experts. She couldn't hold out for long. Now she could only hope that Jiang He would bring reinforcements soon, otherwise she and Xue Lingyi would both die here.

Xue Lingyi only suffered minor injuries. She stepped forward and looked at Kang Minzhi with disappointment, saying with heartache, "We were once friends, why did you treat me so cruelly? Is it because of the huge profits from smuggled salt that you became blinded by greed?"

"Prime Minister Xue, you are incorruptible and of noble character, yet you seem unaware that these people below need money to survive. Moreover, I originally intended to introduce you to this way of making money because we are friends, but I never expected that you would not only scold me but also request His Majesty to reduce the Ministry of Personnel's expenditures. Minister Liu almost killed me." Kang Minzhi looked at Xue Lingyi with eyes full of hatred, his face contorted with rage, and said, "Cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents. I think you should understand this principle."

Xue Lingyi's pupils constricted involuntarily as she stared at Kang Minzhi in disbelief, "You..."

She had always believed that money was just an external thing, and that worldly possessions like gold and silver would make people greedy and greedy. She never expected that her friend would be such a perfect example. She was really blind back then, which is why she ended up in this situation.

Kang Minzhi sneered, "Prime Minister Xue, you'd better rest in peace. Considering our past relationship, I'll give you a quick death."

Su Yawan shielded Xue Lingyi with her hand and calmly said, "Prime Minister Xue, don't listen to her nonsense. Someone will come to save us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Yawan saw a man riding up on horseback.

She looked at the newcomer with delight and exclaimed, "Jiang He!"

But when she saw that there was no one behind Jiang He, her expression suddenly changed. Not only did Jiang He not bring any weapons, but she also came alone. Wasn't this just throwing her life away?

Kang Minzhi was also quite surprised. "Well, the Jiang family actually got involved in this matter. Jiang He, I didn't expect you to put aside past grievances and not only want to marry that little bitch, but also go to great lengths to help the Xue family. It's truly touching."

Kang Minzhi's tone was full of sarcasm, and the corners of her mouth that were raised seemed to be mocking Jiang He's so-called infatuation.

Jiang He ignored Kang Minzhi; she would settle this score later.

Upon seeing the blood on Xue Lingyi's body, Jiang He said to Su Yawan without hesitation, "Take your men and ride back first."

Su Yawan was so angry that she blurted out whatever came to mind, wanting to see what was going on in Jiang He's head. "You really have guts, daring to come alone. Are you here to be buried with me?"

Jiang He pushed her in front of the horse and urged, "Hurry up."

Su Yawan and Xue Lingyi were pushed onto the horse. Su Yawan held the reins and stared intently at Jiang He, threatening her, "You're getting married tomorrow. If anything happens to you, just wait for Xue Lingyu to remarry with your child. Do you hear me, Jiang He?"

Jiang He stopped listening to her rambling. This horse was something she had won at the East Suburbs Horse Farm. It only listened to her. With a whistle, it quickly disappeared from sight.

Jiang He met Kang Minzhi head-on, her gaze sharp and unwavering, showing no fear whatsoever.

The scene was exactly the same as when she sent Xue Lingyi away, except that Jiang He no longer had Xue Ji by her side and could only rely on herself.

Kang Minzhi couldn't help but applaud her, "Jiang He, even if you die here today, that little bitch from the Xue family won't remember a single good thing about you. As long as Xue Lingyi is reinstated, he will still be that noble young master of the Xue family and will never look at you again. Why don't you hand Xue Lingyi over to me? That way, your wedding can proceed as planned."

Jiang He scoffed, "Tsk, Lord Kang, have you gone mad?"

Her words, and her attitude of not taking Kang Minzhi seriously at all, finally angered Kang Minzhi.

Kang Minzhi was so angry that his face turned purple. "I brought Minister Liu's personal guards today. Do you think they can't do anything to a spoiled brat like you?"

At Kang Minzhi's command, the men she brought immediately stabbed at Jiang He's vital points without showing any mercy.

Zeng Rong was about to help Xue Lingyu into the carriage when Xue Lingyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He couldn't help but frown and stop moving.

Seeing that he seemed unwell, Zeng Rong quickly asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

The pain was only momentary. Xue Lingyu shook her head to indicate that she was fine, but for some reason, her heart suddenly felt flustered, as if something was about to happen.

Zeng Rong said worriedly, "This place is not far from the Jiang residence. You just disguised yourself and escaped. The servants may not have discovered you yet. It would be better to leave as soon as possible."

After rubbing her belly and adjusting her breathing, Xue Lingyu boarded Zeng Rong's carriage.

What was the author thinking? Why did they arrange it this way? I'm so disappointed.

[The idea of ​​carrying the baby was initially anticipated, but its placement here is a hindrance. I thought it would be a fun little moment for the two of them, but now it's just Yu Yu unilaterally hindering them, which is strange. The first time they ran together, it seemed perfect for carrying the baby, but then they had amnesia. Let's just say it wasn't a good idea to include the baby; they could have developed their relationship while they were suffering from amnesia. But now things are fraught with danger. While I was looking forward to the baby-carrying part, it should have been kept within reasonable limits. Even though it's from a god's-eye view, this really lowers Yu Yu's score. The amnesia already created a bad impression, and now this kind of stunt is exhausting to watch.]

Honestly, the male lead doesn't deserve the female lead's doting affection. I feel sorry for her. The story started off well, and I was drawn in by the idea of ​​a woman doting on a man, but the male lead's blatant disregard for her sincerity makes him truly unworthy of her. Besides, he still owes Xin Yan an apology! His character has already completely fallen apart!

【claw】

Ask me how deep my love for you is, and the nutrient solution represents my heart~

The male lead seems to be a drag on the team; I wonder what he's thinking.

[Author, I can't wait for the next episode!]

[Finally, he's dribbling the ball away!!]

[Actually, I'm heartbroken by this plot development. To be honest, the "running away with a baby" part was something I was looking forward to, but the faked death and now the "running away with a baby" is exhausting. Moreover, the person the male lead is helping him with the pregnancy is being used by others. Although the male lead is unaware of this, it gives me the feeling that he's constantly holding everyone back. Also, the author always makes me feel that the female lead has more feelings for the male lead. Maybe it's because the male lead's feelings aren't described much, but what I want to read is a story where both sides are involved, not just one side feeling sorry for themselves. Although that might seem a bit exaggerated, the male lead does have feelings for the female lead, but their relationship is too unbalanced, giving me the feeling that it's always the female lead's side that's in it.] And I'm really curious, after the female lead finds out the male lead faked his death and ran away while pregnant, won't she have any thoughts about it? Will their ending still feel like love between them (it seems like there shouldn't be love, but I feel like liking someone is too easy)? But their biggest problem is a lack of communication, which is really hard to understand. (This is my first time reviewing a book, and I was really looking forward to this plot, but I was a little disappointed. However, the author wrote very well in the beginning. And everyone has their own opinion, so just write what you think is best. If you feel my answer has affected you, you can delete it, because I might not have been objective at all (after all, I got carried away with my emotions)).
