chapter 135.1

wen chi froze and immediately stopped moving.

his fingers gripped the water glass tightly and it took him a long time to relax.

“what are you doing?”

shi ye pressed against his lower abdomen and listened quietly for a while but he was still reluctant to distance himself. he said, “i’m listening to see if the child is moving or not.”

wen chi was overjoyed. he chuckled, stretched out his hand and pushed shi ye’s shoulder. the strength he used was very small, he did not have the heart to push shi ye away, “it’s only a month or two old, the baby hasn’t even grown into a shape, so what movements can there be?”

reluctantly, shi ye straightened up, took the cup from wen chi’s hand and put it on the ground, kept a half-squatting position and held wen chi’s hand.

shi ye’s hand was bigger than wen chi’s, just enough to wrap his hand around it.

“a child of one or two months should also have an embryonic state, why hasn’t there been any movement?” shi ye frowned and said seriously, “seventh brother’s child moved as soon as the child was conceived.”

“children grow up little by little from the embryonic state. how can someone’s baby be alive and kicking just in the womb…” wen chi found out that shi ye was so naive for the first time. he felt it was a novelty and was amused at the same time, “no way…… is it possible that you heard it moving? …… did you hear it yourself?”1 (wen chi was asking if shi ye heard the child of the seventh brother moving, meaning if he had met the wives and concubines of his seventh brother. lol)

wen chi was just joking but shi ye’s face turned red when he heard this and then was covered with a thin layer of anger.

“how can you say it like that? i haven’t even seen any of the wives and concubines of the seventh brother, so how can it be like what you said?” shi ye was a little annoyed, and wanted to reprimand wen chi for his unrestrained speech but he couldn’t bear to speak harshly and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

wen chi didn’t expect shi ye’s reaction to be so intense and he was scared all of a sudden. he hurriedly cupped shi ye’s face with both hands, lowered his head and kissed shi ye’s nose: “i’m just joking.”

obviously this kiss was very beneficial to shi ye, most of the anger on his face dissipated in an instant. he pursed his thin lips and said awkwardly: “that’s not funny.”

wen chi said: “then i won’t say it again.”

shi ye grabbed wen chi’s hand again and covered wen chi’s lower abdomen together. he seemed to have a special liking for wen chi’s lower abdomen and he didn’t even want to look away. he sighed, “i know there are many people in my harem but those people were forced on to me by the emperor and you also know that i have never stepped into their courtyards.”

wen chi: “…”

no……

where is it all leading to?

aren’t they talking about the child? why did the topic suddenly jump to shi ye’s harem?

but now that he has come to this point, wen chi logically turned over the old scores: “his majesty did it to please you, if you said no, will he still force you to do it? it’s obvious that you didn’t refuse them yourself!”

shi ye was finally willing to take his eyes away from wen chi’s lower abdomen. he raised his eyes and glanced at wen chi quietly: “if i had refused, would i still have met you?”

wen chi was rendered speechless.

thinking about it carefully, what shi ye said makes sense…

but wen chi refused to accept it and was still stubborn: “then why did you keep those people after you met me?”

shi ye was wronged and said in a mixture of anger and amusement, “where did i keep them? can’t you see that i already asked zhu xian to dismiss them?”

wen chi thought for a while: “there are still a few people left.”

apart from yue gui and li yu, there seemed to be one or two people whom he hadn’t seen much of. it looks like those people were still living in the east palace.

shi ye remained silent and with his dark eyes he stared at wen chi without blinking for a long time. suddenly, he picked up the water glass on the ground, got up, put the glass back on the table and was about to go out.

wen chi was stunned and hurriedly called shi ye to stop: “where are you going?”

shi ye didn’t turn his head back: “going back to the palace.”

wen chi was even more confused: “why are you going back to the palace so suddenly?”

shi ye said: “to get rid of the remaining few people.”

“…” wen chi was speechless for a while and after he realized it, he quickly called shi ye back, “i don’t want you to drive them away right now… ai.. how can you think of one thing at a time.”

shi ye let wen chi pull his clothes and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside wen chi. and while pulling the quilt that had slipped down he said: “i naturally have to deal with things that bothers you as soon as possible.”

wen chi did care a little about shi ye’s previous concubines but then he thought that shi ye really didn’t have much interest in those people, and he was a little relieved.

shi ye might not even know the names of yue gui and li yu now.

but thinking about these petty words in his heart, he really has no face to say it, even if shi ye exposes it, he still has to refute with a thick neck: “i don’t mind.”

“oh?” shi ye said indifferently, “really?”

from one glance from shi ye, wen chi, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly froze. he shrugged his shoulders and said, “okay, i’m a little bit concerned…”

as soon as he said this, he felt shi ye’s rest his hand on his head and rubbed it comfortingly.

“before you, i never thought i could have a child.” shi ye touched wen chi’s face again. he held wen chi’s chin and made wen chi look up at him, “your existence gave me many unexpected things.”

wen chi’s heart moved slightly and his eyes flicked over shi ye’s face.

shi ye stared at him for a long time. he couldn’t help but lean over and dropped a kiss on wen chi’s lips. after the kiss, he didn’t leave in a hurry but used the tip of his tongue to pry open wen chi’s teeth.

wen chi opened his mouth subconsciously, allowing shi ye to come in.

shi ye kissed very slowly, as if he was savoring something carefully, slowly grinding and sucking his lips.

wen chi was kissed to the point that his heart went wild and the temperature in his body rose with it. his hands climbed up onto shi ye’s back but in the next moment, he felt shi ye pull away slightly.

“not yet…” shi ye breathed unsteadily. he wiped away the saliva left on wen chi’s lips with his thumb, lowered his head and suddenly whispered in wen chi’s ear, “do you believe what hua zi zang said?”

wen chi couldn’t keep up with shi ye’s rhythm: “what are you talking about?”

shi ye didn’t speak.

but wen chi soon understood what shi ye’s meant. he remembered hua zi zang’s angry and resentful eyes before he died. he didn’t think it was necessary for hua zi zang to deceive him at that time and he didn’t want to lie to shi ye: “i believe it.”

shi ye froze.

“but i also believe that you have your own thoughts.” wen chi hugged shi ye, “when the time comes, you will naturally explain it to me, right?”

shi ye was silent for a moment and carefully wrapped his arms around wen chi’s waist. he said, “i can’t explain it clearly to you now but when the time comes, you will understand everything.”
