The actions remain unchanged, and he stands firm against her.

In the end, she gives in, sighing helplessly, “Alright, I’ll eat.”

“I was only worried about you,” Chu Heng’s voice is calm, emphasizing, “Nothing else is as important as your safety.”

“Okay, okay, I promise to be careful next time, alright?” Ye Muyu clings to his arm, acting coy.

Chu Heng can’t resist her charm at all, especially when she acts so weak and coy, her eyes a watery hue, with the corners slightly red from lack of rest, making her look as fragile as a vivid rose, stirring a strong protective instinct.

“Sit nicely,” Though Chu Heng tries to be serious, he can’t conceal the affection in his voice.

Ye Muyu sees he’s in a better mood, happily sits up straight, thinking about it, feeling quite pleased, “See, my luck is actually good. I got sick ahead of time and discovered their plot. Isn’t everything perfectly fine now?”

“Moreover, I can use this opportunity to fish useful information from them,” Ye Muyu genuinely thinks she’s fortunate, feeling quite good, not at all upset by the illness.

Chu Heng purses his lips, “You cannot go.”

“Why?” Ye Muyu asks cautiously, though she had guessed that after this incident, Chu Heng would be very likely to refuse her going, but she didn’t expect him to stop her directly.

Chu Heng glances at her, “They will only use more insidious drugs, impossible to guard against.”

Ye Muyu falls silent, hesitating for a moment. She’s not reckless by nature, wanting to meet the Sacred Girl of Southern Border, just doesn’t want the issue hanging unresolved. Of course, there’s her intention to help Chu Heng, and her inherent dislike for potential danger lurking around.

Upon learning the reason for her illness, Ye Muyu’s first reaction was anger, the second was that having fallen ill last night turned out to be a blessing for her.

Understanding their plan made countering it straightforward.

But Chu Heng’s simple words made her hesitate, the reason was simple—now that she had Chu Heng and the kids, she really did not want to take risks. Especially if anything happened to her, Chu Heng would be sad and worried, she didn’t want to upset him.

Ye Muyu seemed distracted while thinking things through; Chu Heng noticed and didn’t disturb her, quietly feeding her porridge at his own pace.

As Ye Muyu stopped feeling hungry and started to feel a bit full, she came back to her senses, touched her belly, shaking her head: “No more, I feel a bit full.”

Chu Heng reached for a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, placing the porridge aside.

“Have you decided?” Chu Heng asked upfront, seated before her.

Ye Muyu lifted her head, looking at his face, her eyes trembled, her long lashes fluttering alongside, eventually she gently shook her head, “Alright, I won’t go.”

“Good girl,” Chu Heng reached out to pat her head, “I already made a move against the Southern Border Witch Doctor last night, you don’t need to worry, they won’t bother you anymore.”

Ye Muyu’s eyes widened in surprise, momentarily stunned, recovering to grab his hand angrily, “So you intentionally didn’t tell me, right?”

Chu Heng didn’t deny it, silently looking at her, “Ah Yu, I don’t want you to take risks, but I also respect your choices.”

“This is clearly playing the emotional card,” Ye Muyu rolled her eyes, a bit annoyed.
