The room was quiet, and there was no sound outside.
Su Xiaoqi chatted with Shen Yun while listening intently to the outside.
She was ready at any moment to put Shen Yun back into the space to take temporary refuge if anything unexpected happened outside.
Fortunately, nothing did.
However, she was stumped by Shen Yun's question, and she secretly thought it would have been better if someone had come to distract him.
But her wish did not come true.
In the courtyard where she lived, besides Chu Yunwei, there was only Granny Guan and a small maid.
Chu Yunwei was usually very busy.
He came at most once a day, and he had just been sent away by her not long ago, so he probably wouldn't come again.
Granny Guan, on the other hand, rarely appeared before her except during mealtimes.
So, Su Xiaoqi's thought did not materialize, and she could only consider telling the truth.
Before she could figure it out, Shen Yun had already asked, "Wife, so did I enter your space?"
Shen Yun hit the nail on the head.
He had been able to see Su Xiaoqi's thoughts and feelings back then.
Su Xiaoqi blinked, suspecting that Shen Yun was not telling the truth.
How did he know about her space?
But on second thought, it seemed Shen Yun had mentioned the word "space" in front of her more than once.
This meant he knew about it before, but how did he know?
Did she leak it in her sleep at night?
Su Xiaoqi couldn't figure it out. Shen Yun's curiosity was like a reservoir with its gates opened, pouring out uncontrollably.
While asking, he also used various means to provoke Su Xiaoqi, making her heart race and her mind go blank, losing her ability to think.
Finally, under his efforts, Su Xiaoqi said, "Yes, you entered the space."
"What is space?" Shen Yun got a positive answer. He lifted his head from Su Xiaoqi, stopped his mischievous mouth, and looked at her intently.
"Space, I can't explain it myself. It seems to be independent of our world.
You can enter it with your thoughts..." Su Xiaoqi rambled on.
Shen Yun seemed to understand but not fully.
He didn't ask any further questions in the end.
Because he saw Su Xiaoqi's state, and if he asked more, she would likely be confused herself.
Coupled with his past experience of being able to hear Su Xiaoqi's thoughts, and then inexplicably disappearing.
These things themselves could not be explained in a way that ordinary people could understand.
So there was really no need to ask further.
"Wife, will you suddenly disappear like you did when you arrived?" Shen Yun's voice contained worry and fear.
Su Xiaoqi had arrived mysteriously, and he was worried she would leave just as mysteriously.
Su Xiaoqi pursed her lips, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Honestly, I'm not sure..."
"No, wife, don't go, promise me!" Shen Yun hugged her tightly, his eyes full of deep affection.
Su Xiaoqi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but promise, "I promise you, if I have enough control, I will definitely not choose to leave you."
But if her departure was as uncontrollable as her arrival, she really couldn't guarantee it!
"Wife..." Shen Yun's heart suddenly ached. He hugged Su Xiaoqi tightly.
Never before had his heart felt so uncomfortable.
It was as if his heart was being squeezed, and with a tight grip, the pain made him almost unable to breathe.
His body trembled violently, his fingers almost out of control.
Su Xiaoqi noticed his reaction, and her heart also twitched.
So it wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, but she was afraid he couldn't accept it.
But in the end, she had said it, and there was no turning back.
To comfort Shen Yun, she added, only saying that it was a very mysterious place, but it wouldn't take her away.
This simple sentence comforted Shen Yun.
He held her tighter.
Only in this way could he be sure that Xiaoqi was with him.
"Husband, I'm really fine, and I won't leave." Su Xiaoqi said, placing his hand on her lower abdomen.
Although it was still early, she was a doctor and had some confidence.
As Shen Yun's broad hand touched her, a warmth flowed out.
"Huh?" Shen Yun looked up at Su Xiaoqi in confusion.
Su Xiaoqi's face blushed slightly, and she said silently, "Husband, you're going to be a father!"
"Wife..." Shen Yun felt like he was on a roller coaster at this moment, dropping to the lowest point and then flying to the highest.
"I, I, I'm going to be a father, wife, you have our child, the child..." Shen Yun's chaotic and broken heart seemed to be healed in an instant.
He pressed against Su Xiaoqi's lower abdomen, but he didn't dare to even place his fingers there, for fear of pressing on it.
At the same time, he thought of their absurdity the day before, and he worriedly asked, "Will last night have hurt him..."
Su Xiaoqi shook her head, "No, but don't do that again in the future."
Staying up all night was not good for his health.
Shen Yun nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course, I'll listen to everything my wife says."
He had always wanted a child with Xiaoqi.
Because Xiaoqi had too many secrets, it always gave him the illusion that she would leave at any moment.
From that moment on, he wanted Xiaoqi to conceive their child.
Because a child was the one with the closest blood connection between them.
He was afraid that he alone was not enough to make Xiaoqi stay.
"Husband, I'm fine. I'm a doctor, and I'll take care of myself. You should go find Zhang Yu now, and then we can leave."
Shen Yun frowned and said, "Zhang Yu has already been found."
Su Xiaoqi asked with surprise, "Where is she?"
Shen Yun told her that Zhang Yu was in the next courtyard, but the courtyards where the two of them lived were heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach.
However, this level of security was merely Chu Yunwei's self-perceived strength.
In their eyes, it was nothing special.
"Then what will husband do next?" Su Xiaoqi remembered Shen Yun had said he would help the Northern Chu kingdom deal with Chu Yunwei.
Since he said so and had found her, it meant he already had a mature plan.
Sensing Su Xiaoqi's concern, Shen Yun did not hide it from her, saying that he had sent Zhang Feng and Zhang Dian to find evidence of Chu Yunwei colluding with foreign powers to deal with Northern Chu.
He had promised Yu Jing that he would definitely stop Chu Yunwei from usurping the Northern Chu kingdom.
"By the way, husband, if you finish your business, don't forget one thing." Su Xiaoqi remembered the jade pendant on Chu Yunwei.
She asked Shen Yun to help her get the jade pendant.
Shen Yun nodded. Although Xiaoqi hadn't said anything, he knew that the jade pendant was very important to her.
Before, he had almost gotten himself into the Ning Wang's manor just by wanting the jade pendant in Ning Wang's hand.
After the couple had agreed on their plans, Shen Yun hugged Su Xiaoqi, then got up, tidied his clothes, and prepared to leave.
He asked Su Xiaoqi to stay there temporarily.
Rescuing her in advance would alert the enemy.
The next day, Su Xiaoqi slept until noon again.
As usual, Chu Yunwei came again.
This time, there was nothing in Su Xiaoqi's room that needed to be hidden.
So she generously opened the door and let him in.
If he didn't come in to take a look, he would never give up.
However, this time Chu Yunwei surprised Su Xiaoqi greatly.
He was actually drunk.
As soon as Su Xiaoqi opened the door, he stumbled straight in.
Su Xiaoqi smelled the strong aroma of alcohol.
It was strong and pungent.
Su Xiaoqi rubbed her nose uncomfortably and said displeasedly, "You've been drinking."
Chu Yunwei's expression was a bit listless, his eyes were vacant and floating, and he followed Su Xiaoqi's words, "I drank, I didn't drink, I drank, I'm not drunk..."
Su Xiaoqi frowned. Chu Yunwei at this moment was like an idiot.
She didn't want to talk to him like this, so she pointed to the door and said, "You can leave."
"Leave, where can I go?" Chu Yunwei smiled, and then suddenly seemed to cry.
Su Xiaoqi's frown deepened.
She realized that Chu Yunwei in this state was very frightening.
It gave her a strong sense of crisis.
She didn't want to talk to him and just wanted to push him out.
But in terms of strength alone, Su Xiaoqi was no match for Chu Yunwei.
He had grown up on horseback and often practiced martial arts, capable of holding his own against Yu Changfeng.
Su Xiaoqi's punches and kicks were nothing more than superficial skills in his eyes.
Therefore, Su Xiaoqi's sneak attack not only failed but also gave him an opportunity to act. He grabbed her by the waist and pushed her onto the bed.
