Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Shut Up or I’ll Beat You!_1

Xiao Changyi said, ”Even if I leave the child with him to raise, he would manage to make time for the child despite his busy schedule.”

An Jing: ”...”

After a long silence, An Jing finally spoke again, sounding aggrieved: ”Do you despise our child that much? The child isn’t even born yet, and you’re already thinking of handing him over to the Emperor to raise?”

Xiao Changyi quickly embraced her tightly in his arms and patiently explained: ”I don’t despise our child. It’s mainly because I want to have a world with just the two of us.” He paused, ”If you don’t want to let others take care of the child, then we will take care of him ourselves.”

An Jing immediately smiled and hugged him back: ”As long as you don’t despise the baby! It’s our child; of course, we should raise him ourselves!”

”Hmm,” Xiao Changyi didn’t dwell on the idea of a world with just the two of them anymore; as long as his wife was happy, that was enough for him.

Upon hearing his words, An Jing lifted her head from his embrace, smiling: ”Husband, the medicine just now was so bitter.”

Xiao Changyi immediately kissed her, a long kiss, and only when he finally left her lips did he ask: ”Still bitter?”

An Jing shook her head, her eyes squinting with joy: ”Not bitter anymore, sweet~”

Xiao Changyi’s lips curved slightly, and he kissed her again, the two of them kissing for quite some time before they both felt content. Then Xiao Changyi helped An Jing lie back down.

”You rest for a bit; I’ll be out for a while.” Xiao Changyi pulled the thin blanket up over her and tucked her in snugly.

”Where are you going?”

”To the East Palace.”

”When will you be back?”

”In two hours.” He paused, instructing her: ”If anything comes up, send someone to find me at the East Palace; I will come back immediately.”

”Mhm,” An Jing nodded.

Xiao Changyi bent down, and they exchanged another kiss. Xiao Changyi then rose to his feet and headed to the East Palace.

East Palace.

As soon as Su Chengyu learned that An Jing was pregnant, he joyously ordered a generous gift to be prepared to visit An Jing at Fenghua Palace. However, just as he was leaving the East Palace, he saw his Brother Yi coming to the East Palace.

”Brother Yi, I was just about to go—”

Before Su Chengyu could finish, Xiao Changyi had grabbed his robe and then dragged him back toward the East Palace.

”What are you doing, Brother Yi?” Confused, Su Chengyu was dragged along.

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak, his face expressionless, and with one hand clutching Su Chengyu’s robe, he dragged Su Chengyu all the way into the East Palace’s study.

He placed two Zitan wooden chairs opposite each other, pushed Su Chengyu into one of the chairs, and sat down in the other.

When had Su Chengyu ever sat so close, face to face with his Brother Yi like this? He suddenly felt an immense pressure, swallowed nervously, and said, ”Brother Yi, you—”

”Chengyu,” Xiao Changyi suddenly called out his name, his voice very faint.

Su Chengyu immediately responded, ”Huh?”

But Xiao Changyi fell silent again; instead, he just sat opposite Su Chengyu, quietly watching him, expressionless, making Su Chengyu’s scalp tingle.

”Yi—”

”If you don’t want me to hit you, shut up!”

Su Chengyu could only obediently close his mouth. But really, it was such immense pressure to just sit face to face like this.

Xiao Changyi continued to say nothing, just quietly watching Su Chengyu, still without any expression, making Su Chengyu’s scalp tingle and feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he dared not meet Xiao Changyi’s gaze.

All Su Chengyu could do was look up, down, left, and right, deliberately avoiding looking at Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi didn’t care about Su Chengyu’s little movements and continued to watch him in the same motionless manner as before.
