CHAPTER 1472: CHAPTER 1479: HUSBAND AND WIFE MEET (4)

"Wei’er, come here, sit down... Are you tired? Are you cold...?"

He carefully supported her, treating her as if she were a fragile treasure, even his gaze was cautious, as if afraid of damaging her with his look.

With his help, Cai Wei climbed onto the Kang and sat on the cushions at the Kangtou(er), then he covered her with his own large cloak. Cai Wei smiled at Nangong Yi and said, "Look at how careful you are. The baby is already over three months old and the pregnancy is stable. There’s no need for such fuss and jumping at shadows."

Nangong Yi, however, said seriously, "Better safe than sorry. It’s about our child, the future of Our Great Jin Dynasty—being cautious is always right..."

While they were talking, the shop assistant came to knock on the door, asking if they needed to set the table for food. All the Secret Guards had eaten already and had a hearty meal, only Nangong Yi hadn’t eaten.

Before Nangong Yi could answer, Cai Wei preemptively called out to the person outside the door, "No need, he’s not eating, he’s not hungry!" After the call, she smiled gleefully at Nangong Yi and said, "I’ve made some delicious food for you, just wait."

After that, she used her thought to bring out one dish after another that she had made in the Space that morning. They were placed on the Kang table at the Kangtou(er).

A plate of Stewed Wild Chicken with Mushrooms, a plate of Fried Water Spinach, a plate of Crispy-Fried Mini Fishes, a Bowl of Egg Custard, a plate of Watermelon Rind with Sugar Frosting, plus two bowls of Rice steamed with newly harvested rice, fragrant and hot, filled the whole Kang table.

Although these were all homely meals, having such delicious food in this remote Small Town was already a luxury.

Seeing these meals full of aroma, Nangong Yi said with concern, "You’re pregnant; you really shouldn’t have to toil like this. Besides, you could have just had some porridge and steamed buns in the morning, why go to the trouble of making such a big spread?"

Of course, Cai Wei wouldn’t say she felt a Guilty conscience, and feared his punishment; that’s why she made a table full of meals to make up for a previous mistake. Between Husband and Wife, occasionally telling a little Kindness in lies helps strengthen their feelings for each other.

She took out a jar of fruit wine, poured some for Nangong Yi, handed it over with Both hands, and said affectionately, "What I do is what a wife should do; rest assured, I won’t get tired from just a meal. But you, during the days I wasn’t here, you worried about me, and traveled so far to rescue me, Yi, I’m truly moved. Even though I didn’t need saving, I still want to thank you, really..."

Nangong Yi took the wine cup, drained it in one gulp, and solemnly said to Cai Wei, "In my heart, the two of us are inseparable. Saving you is something I did willingly and had to do; there’s no need for thanks, that would be too formal. If you’re really grateful, then believe in me. Don’t face things alone, and especially don’t hide them from me. Whatever happens, remember to tell your man, let your man resolve it, or let’s face it together, solve it together. If you can do that, it’d be the best reward for me!"

This was his summary of the Disappearance Incident this time. Given that she was pregnant, the punishments he originally thought of for her were no longer applicable, so he had to focus on the lighter side and give her a piece of advice and let it be.

Cai Wei understood that since the man had said it, the matter was now like turning over a new leaf. She felt both grateful and ashamed in her heart. She pursed her lips and said softly with her head lowered, "I understand! It won’t happen again..."

After the meal, Cai Wei put the leftover food back into the Space and then lay down with Nangong Yi on the Warm Kang. After running around all of last Night, full from eating and drinking, Tiredness swept over them, and Nangong Yi didn’t want to Separate from her. He too lay down beside her, carefully holding her, watching her fall asleep...
