In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Why would Chapter 1436 be so long?

At this moment, only Xingchen was sitting by the bed, silently watching over Su Yueyao.

Xingchen looked up and saw Lu Yuanyi, asking in a soft voice, "How are the lord and the others? Are Wenren and Yanxi alright?"

"Everything's fine, nothing serious happened. It's just that Yan Xi cried so hard, I almost couldn't comfort him. In the end, Yi Bai had to scold him before he calmed down," Lu Yuanyi replied softly as he sat down on a low stool.

Upon hearing this, Xingchen's lips curled slightly into a smile, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Star, aren't you surprised?"

"What's so surprising? Although Yi Bai doesn't talk much, his feelings for his wife are genuine. He would even give up the Sun family army for her."

"Say something to Yan Xi, it's nothing."

Lu Yuanyi didn't expect Xingchen to say that. Thinking about how Sun Yibai usually worked quietly and quietly, and looking at his wife, he realized that he would indeed go to that extent.

"Well, if that's the case, then my silence today was partly due to my doubts about my wife."

Xingchen glanced at Lu Yuanyi and said in a calm tone, "You scions of noble families are shrewd and have grown up seeing the intrigues and schemes of the inner quarters. I can understand that you can't completely trust your wife."

"But you mustn't let her find out in front of your wife, lest you cause her unnecessary sadness and heartbreak."

"If you do it, don't blame me for turning my back on you later."

Upon hearing Xingchen's words, Lu Yuanyi immediately shook his head and explained, "I didn't distrust my wife, I just..."

“Nothing is better. I’m so busy right now because I want to pave an easy path for her and prevent anyone from hurting her, not even you.” After Xingchen finished speaking, she glanced at Su Yueyao, who was fast asleep on the bed.

Looking at Xingchen's expression, Lu Yuanyi felt a mix of emotions. Xingchen's heart... had almost no feelings for his wife, not even the slightest doubt, suspicion, or uncertainty.

He completely stood by his wife's side, protecting her and caring for her, all so that she could be happy.

Compared to him, he is indeed far inferior. From now on, his heart should be like that, and he should wholeheartedly guard his wife without having the slightest doubt.

After that, the two of them didn't speak again, silently watching over Su Yueyao.

An hour later, Lu Yuanyi got up and said softly, "Xingchen, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the ginseng soup is ready. My wife will wake up soon and can drink it."

"it is good."

Lu Yuanyi left the room and went straight to the small kitchen at the back.

When he carried the ginseng soup back into the house, he saw that Su Yueyao had already woken up and was leaning on Xingchen's shoulder.

"Has my wife just woken up? The ginseng soup is just ready. My wife, please have a bowl first to warm yourself up."

"I just woke up, and I'm hungry too. Thank you for your hard work, Yuanyi."

"It's not hard work for me, it's my wife who has had to work harder." Lu Yuanyi smiled as he brought the ginseng soup to Xingchen and had him feed it to Su Yueyao.

Xingchen took a spoon from the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and fed it to Su Yueyao.

Looking at the two of them, Su Yueyao drank the ginseng soup that Xingchen fed her and said with a smile, "I just had a baby and my hands aren't strong enough. I can hold the bowl and drink by myself. I don't need to be fed like this."

"My lady, you're still weak." Xingchen ignored Su Yueyao's words and continued to hold the spoon to Su Yueyao's lips.

Seeing Xingchen's determination to feed her, Su Yueyao didn't say anything more and drank from the spoon.

After Su Yueyao finished the entire bowl of ginseng soup, Xingchen took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

Su Yueyao smiled and looked at Xingchen, scoffing, "Xingchen, you were busy for so long this time. If you had come back a day later, I would have already given birth to the baby."

“My lady, I’m arranging several branch offices in various prefectures this time, and I must personally visit them. I’ll spend more time with you for now,” Xingchen replied apologetically.

"Then I'll make sure you take good care of me during my postpartum period!" Su Yueyao said with a happy smile.

"As my wife commands."

Su Yueyao smiled and snuggled into Xingchen's arms. Hearing his doting tone, Su Yueyao couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

When Su Yueyao caught sight of Lu Yuanyi out of the corner of her eye, she immediately said, "Yuanyi, are Qianqian and the others alright? I heard Wenren screaming in agony."

"And Yan Xi, is he devastated? The child isn't with the Gu King, he probably won't be able to accept it for a while, right?"

“My lady, the lord and the others are all fine. Wenren used his internal energy to suppress the pain, but he couldn’t hold it in and cried out. I went to check on them, and they are perfectly fine.”

“Yan Xi, my wife, you're absolutely right. I did break down at first, but after Yi Bai scolded me, I've calmed down.” Lu Yuanyi finished speaking and, without waiting for Su Yueyao to ask, continued:

"My lady, you have no idea how talkative Yi Bai is."

Lu Yuanyi quickly told Su Yueyao what Sun Yibai had said. The more Su Yueyao listened, the wider her mouth opened. How could her shy and socially awkward Yibai say so much?

Moreover, every word he said was protective of her and showed his belief in her. How could Yi Bai be so kind?

"Where are they? I want to see them."

"My lady wants to see the children, doesn't she? There are seven little ladies, ranging from twenty-four to almost thirty!"

Su Yueyao's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. All thirty young ladies and three young princes were born to her.

"Now that the lord and the others have recovered, does the wife wish to see him?"

"Yes, let's meet. I'll be worried if we don't meet."

“Yes, my lady, I’ll go to the side room and ask the master and the others to come over.” After Lu Yuanyi finished speaking, he turned around and left the room, heading to the side room.

At this moment, apart from Wenren Qichi and Huan Yanxi, Yang Qianxun and the others had completely recovered and were holding their respective children with peaceful expressions.

Wenren Qichi's internal injuries still left him with a somewhat pale complexion, though he didn't look too bad unless you looked closely.

However, Huan Yanxi's swollen eyes, even after applying anti-swelling ointment, did not completely subside and remained somewhat swollen, but fortunately, they didn't look too funny anymore.

When Lu Yuanyi came to call them, the group stood up, carried the child, and went into the room.

Yang Qianxun carried the child and walked in front, with Lu Yuanyi following slightly behind.

"Yuanyi, how is Ayao feeling? Is she still feeling down?"

“My wife has recovered. Xingchen has been by her side, comforting her, and she is not so disappointed anymore.”

"I'll be taking care of the baby for the next month, so please take good care of Ayao."

"You're too kind, my lord. Leave the matters concerning the wife and the affairs of the manor to us. You can focus on taking care of the children."
