Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Xiao Chenyi lowered his head slowly with suspicion, his eyes falling on the small body in his arms. The child was lying there quietly, eyes closed, sleeping soundly. However, Yun Xi just refused to let him hug this cute little guy. What was going on?

Could it be that this child has some unknown problems? Chen Yi couldn't help but feel suspicious. But when he looked closely at the child in his arms, he found that the child's face was so similar to his own, as if they were carved from the same mold. The small nose, the slightly upturned corners of the mouth, and the charm revealed between the eyebrows were all his reflections. From this point of view, there should be nothing wrong with the child!

Then, could it be that Yun Xi blamed him for not visiting her during this period, so she was sulking at the moment? Thinking of this, Chen Yi felt a little guilty. Since he learned that Yun Xi was pregnant, he had been busy with various affairs and had not been able to spare much time to accompany her. Perhaps it was for this reason that Yun Xi was dissatisfied with him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, then slowly stretched out his free big hand and gently embraced Yun Xi's slender and soft waist.

He said softly, "My little fool! On the day you gave birth, I happened to be busy with an extremely important and urgent matter in the court, and it was really difficult to get away. However, even so, I specially sent someone to look after you."

After hearing his explanation, Yun Xi's originally angry heart calmed down a little.

She raised her eyes and stared at the man in front of her, thinking to herself: This idiot still has some conscience and knows to apologize to me.

However, she did not spare Xiao Chenyi, and snorted coquettishly: "Hmph, even if this is the case, you should have told me in advance! You made me worry for nothing."

As a man of seven feet, Xiao Chenyi has always been the kind of person who only knows how to work hard and is not good at speaking. Many times, he just does things silently and never thinks that there is anything wrong with his way of doing things.

At this moment, seeing that Yun Xi's expression was no longer as gloomy as before, his heart finally settled down. At the same time, he was thinking to himself: It seems that I have to say more in front of my beloved wife in the future, otherwise I am afraid that she will misunderstand me again.

"When you are in confinement, I will come to visit you every night. Unless there is bad weather and we cannot go out."

As Xiao Chenyi spoke, he hurriedly explained the situation to her in a low voice.

"Ah?" Yun Xi looked at him in astonishment, finding it unbelievable what he said.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and sneaking over here? This is not the behavior of a guilty thief! Besides, that's your own child. Why can't you choose to come and visit us in broad daylight? Is there any shameful reason?"

Faced with the woman's rapid-fire questions, Xiao Chenyi was stunned for a moment.

It had been so long since this happened that even he himself had almost forgotten why he had chosen to come here in the middle of the night, and then hurried back.

When Yun Xi asked this question so suddenly, the memories that were almost forgotten suddenly woke up like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time.

However, these memories seemed to be covered by a hazy veil, appearing vague and unclear, which made Xiao Chenyi at a loss for a moment. He had no idea where to start or how to answer this question.

He frowned slightly and thought hard for a long time.

He raised his head and said slowly, "In the beginning, I was always busy with endless matters to deal with during the day in the court, and each one was extremely important and could not tolerate any negligence or delay.

Every day he would battle wits and courage with his ministers over trivial matters.

Yunxi, the people around me are basically unreliable."

At this point, Xiao Chenyi looked at Yun Xi sadly: "Yun Xi, the only relative I can trust, you are not by my side."

Yun Xishen glared at him strangely: "You are a grown man, who are you showing off to?"

Xiao Chenyi smiled and touched his head: "When I finally finish a day's work, I have to review the piles of memorials without stopping. When I finish all the government affairs, it is often late at night.

Then I hurried here, arriving just in time for the first light of dawn, the darkest moment before dawn.

When I stepped into the room, I saw you and the children sleeping so sweetly and peacefully, and I really couldn't bear to wake you up from this tranquility and beauty.

So, every time I came, I would sit quietly by the bed and watch for a while, about an hour, and then quietly leave and return to the palace."

At this point, Xiao Chenyi couldn't help but reveal a trace of shame, and continued:

"But later on, gradually, this late-night visit became a habit that was difficult to change.

Even on my day off, when I don't have to attend court to govern, I still can't help but choose to come here in the middle of the night.

Alas! I think it is because the affairs in the court are too complicated and trivial, and you are not by my side. Every day, there are countless anxious and worrying things lingering in my mind. I have become a little busy and drowsy, and even the ability to think seems to be gradually lost..."

Yun Xi was too lazy to listen to his reasons.

Get it or not, get it or not, so much nonsense, it’s better to teach your children to read!

"Yun Xi, are you listening to me?" Xiao Chenyi asked when he got no response.

"Oh? Yes, I'm listening." Yun Xi nodded.
