Chapter 1488: Chapter 1426: You Are My Weakness
As September arrived, the weather grew increasingly cold. A midwife had already moved into Wufuâs home. Actually, Wufu thought they should prepare two, but Madam Zhou said there were already enough people hovering around, adding two more would be excessive. Besides, it would still be a few months before she gave birth, so only one was arranged.
Even so, Wufu also arranged for enough people to constantly be at Madam Zhouâs side. After all, given her advanced age and the size of the baby, it naturally required heightened attention.
Though Madam Zhou was somewhat resigned to this, she couldnât refute Wufuâs goodwill. After all, her daughter was considering her well-being, a stroke of fortune money couldnât buy.
Ah Jiu had recently been preparing for trade with the Northwest, frequently discussing various matters with Yuan Ye and the others. Wufu felt a bit bored and either practiced martial arts with Xiao Qi at home or changed her outfit to pass time at the club, where she heard quite a bit of gossip about people scheming to secure spots for horseball and Cuju ball games.
"I knew youâd be here," Ah Jiu said as he walked in from outside.
"Werenât you supposed to be discussing things with Yuan Ye and the others? How come youâre out?" Wufu pointed to a chair beside her, pouring him a cup of tea and handing it over.
"When youâre in a leadership position, you canât do everything personally. Delegate tasks to people below, I came out to keep you company." Ah Jiu said.
Wufu raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, how considerate of you."
"Where do you want to go? Iâll accompany you."
Wufu rested her chin on her hand and said, "Changan City is just like this, where else can I go?"
"I heard thereâs a Maple Forest at Xiangguo Temple, right now itâs deep autumn, why donât we go take a look tomorrow? And have a vegetarian meal while weâre there." Ah Jiu suggested.
Wufu frowned slightly, "Xiangguo Temple, wouldnât it be too crowded?"
"Are you even afraid of crowds?"
"We still havenât found that person. Itâs been some time since Master Gui sent us news, yet the opposite side hasnât made any move. Iâm feeling uneasy," Wufu said, pursing her lips.
Ah Jiu laughed loudly and touched her forehead, saying, "Wufuâs heart has become soft."
"Hmm?"
"One assassin or even a few canât compare to when we stormed the Cloud Realm, can they?" Ah Jiu said confidently, "Even in the Cloud Realm, we made it through, so what is there to be afraid of now!"
"Ah Jiu, the most terrifying thing is the human heart!" Wufu placed her hand on the back of his hand and said.
Ah Jiu grasped her hand in return and said, "I know, but we canât always be haunted by shadows because of it. When have you ever worried? Is this still the fearless, lawless Wufu I knew?"
Wufu chuckled bitterly, it really seemed like that. Isnât this how having concerns means having a weakness?
"Ah Jiu, youâve become my weakness," Wufu looked at him and said, "So, to protect me, you must take good care of yourself."
Ah Jiu felt a stirring in his heart, "Alright, I promise you!"
Only then did Wufu smile and said, "If thatâs the case, letâs go to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow. Iâve been here so long and havenât visited it yet."
Itâs rare for someone to be so enthusiastic, fulfilling his boyfriend duties, if she delayed, it would indeed be ungrateful!
After chatting for a while, they got up to go home. As they walked out of the elegant room, they saw a man approaching them, it was Song Wei.
When he saw Wufu, Song Wei was stunned for a moment. The woman looked somewhat familiar; where had he seen her before?
"Wait!" Just as Wufu was about to walk past him, Song Wei reached out and grabbed Wufuâs arm, "Weâve met before."
