Chapter 564 Finding a Stepping Stone

"Sister, we don't even know if this child in my belly is a boy or a girl. Isn't it a bit too hasty for you to say these things now?"

"No rush, no rush. I'm just taking precautions…" Feng Jin smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Later, I'll have Chu Qing help you rest. I'll send someone to inform Chu Chenyi so he can pick you up as soon as possible. That way, I can have some peace and quiet for a while."

It was best for Chu Chenyi to pick up Lin Yuwei early and let the two resolve any conflicts at home, allowing her a few days of peace.

After settling Lin Yuwei, Feng Jin quickly asked Cai Qing to go to the Jing Prince's mansion to inform Chu Chenyi first.

Indeed, it had only been half an hour since Cai Qing left when Chu Chenyi rushed over, covered in dust.

The first thing Chu Chenyi saw was Feng Jin, and he immediately questioned her loudly, "Where is she? Where is she?"

Feng Jin calmly put down the teacup in her hand, her gaze falling on Chu Chenyi, a hint of impatience in her eyes. "Why are you shouting so urgently? You're going to make me deaf!"

After a moment, Chu Chenyi slightly composed his agitated emotions and apologized to Feng Jin with a very gentle attitude. "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. I just want to ask where Lin Yuwei is now and how she is doing…"

Chu Chenyi's string of questions was all about Lin Yuwei's well-being, and what was even more rare was his unusually gentle demeanor towards Feng Jin.

Feng Jin's eyes flickered. She was very satisfied with Chu Chenyi's humble attitude today. She cleared her throat lightly and said in a casual tone, "So now you know to be anxious. When you angered her, why weren't you this anxious?"

"How did I anger her? Did she say something bad to you again?"

Chu Chenyi felt extremely wronged. When had he angered Lin Yuwei? Now, in front of Lin Yuwei, he had no status at all. He had to think for a moment before saying anything, wondering if it was okay to speak.

He wouldn't dare to offend Lin Yuwei, let alone anger her away. Even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"You angered her away, the evidence is clear. What else do you have to argue about? I think if you take her back, she'll still be angered away by you. I think it's better for her to stay here and not go back with you."

Feng Jin's tone carried a hint of anger. She slammed the table fiercely, making a loud noise that struck Chu Chenyi's heart.

However… her hand really hurt. Feng Jin hid her hand in her sleeve, feeling that it had already turned red. If she had known, she wouldn't have used so much force to hit the table. It really hurt.

"I… I promise I won't be angry with Lin Yuwei again. Just quickly let her out so she can come back with me!"

Chu Chenyi was anxious and desperate, wishing he could rush in and snatch Lin Yuwei away.

Feng Jin sensed Chu Chenyi's true intentions, and her face immediately turned stern. "If you want to force your way in today, then go ahead. I naturally won't stop you."

Although Feng Jin had a faint smile on her lips, it sent a shiver down Chu Chenyi's spine. He felt that her smile was more terrifying than crying.

"Even if you gave me the courage, I wouldn't dare to barge in directly. So please stop making things difficult for me. Just tell me directly, what do I need to do for me to go in and pick her up?"

Chu Chenyi decided to be direct and stop playing games with Feng Jin. Even if he wore out his tongue, he would still not be Feng Jin's match. If he spoke the truth, perhaps he could pick up the person faster.

"Now that you are husband and wife, how can I stop you from taking her away? It's just that it's not me who is refusing to let her go, but Lin Yuwei doesn't want to go with you. As for why she doesn't want to go with you, that's your own problem."

Feng Jin's words were light and breezy, but they made Chu Chenyi feel very troubled. What did she mean by this? At least she should explain clearly.

Guessing wildly like this would truly drive a person mad with anxiety. Chu Chenyi was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Alright, stop pacing in front of me. You're making my head spin. If you truly regret it and want to take her back, it's not impossible. I can be kind and help you this time, but… since I'm helping you, I can't do it for nothing."

As soon as Feng Jin said this, Chu Chenyi understood her meaning and couldn't help but complain to himself.

But the most important thing now was to take Lin Yuwei back. No matter what Feng Jin said, he had to endure it.

Taking a deep breath, so as not to anger Feng Jin, he still maintained a gentle smile. "Tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will agree to whatever you say."

The saying "When you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head" was something he truly understood now. He was asking for a favor, so no matter how difficult Feng Jin made it for him, he had to endure it. What was most unbearable was that he had to smile at Feng Jin.

He finally understood Gu Beichen's feelings before. He finally understood why Gu Beichen would grind his teeth with hatred whenever he mentioned Feng Jin. With Feng Jin doing such excessive things, even he would be like Gu Beichen.

Feng Jin's faint smile showed that she was very satisfied with Chu Chenyi's current attitude.

She cleared her throat, suppressing her smile, and picked up her teacup to take a sip of tea, moistening her throat. "Since His Highness the Prince of Jing is so sensible, it would be unreasonable for me to continue making things difficult for you…"

"However, if you want me to ask you to do something, I can't really think of anything right now. How about this… Prince Jing can owe me a favor? I'll tell you when I think of something. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Chu Chenyi's lips twitched uncontrollably. He had never expected Feng Jin to play such a trick. He felt a slight chill down his spine, a sense of endless trouble ahead.

Seeing that Chu Chenyi remained silent for a long time, Feng Jin frowned slightly, her tone showing a hint of displeasure. "Your Highness, are you unwilling?"
