Chapter 616 Never Let Go Again
Presumably for the convenience of fetching the spiritual spring water, Yi Moxu simply set up two stoves by the spring, one with a kettle for boiling water and the other with a stew pot.
Yi Moxu was stirring the porridge in the pot with a long-handled ladle. When he felt that it was almost done, he took a smaller soup bowl from the side and ladled out the porridge.
Although she was cooking and serving porridge, Yi Moxu's movements were incredibly smooth and graceful, each gesture like a painting, a truly delightful sight.
Ye Qing'an smiled, and Yi Moxu seemed to sense her gaze, suddenly raising his head to look in their direction.
Ye Qing'an didn't flinch or dodge, but smiled and waved at him.
Yi Moxu smiled faintly, picked up the stew pot, and came over here.
He had only taken a few steps when Eleven suddenly appeared.
When Shiyi saw Yimoxu, her face lit up with joy: "Father!"
Yi Moxu seemed somewhat surprised as well, turning to look at Eleven: "Why did you come at this time?"
Eleven chuckled and said, "It rained today and it was too cold, so I told them I was going to rest beforehand, and then I came."
Eleven's gaze fell on the stew pot that Yimoxu was holding: "What is this that Daddy is holding? It smells so good!"
"Chicken soup porridge." Yi Moxu looked up and saw that Ye Qing'an had not left the window, so she knew that she did not intend to avoid Eleven any longer, and said, "It's for your mother."
"Mother?" Eleven followed Yi Moxu's gaze and her eyes lit up again: "What are you doing here, Mother?"
"Your mother, come in and read a book."
Eleven followed Yi Moxu upstairs with a clattering sound.
Upon entering the building, she noticed the blanket on Ye Qing'an's soft couch. She glanced at Ye Qing'an's unmade-up appearance and disheveled hair, then her gaze shifted to the chicken soup porridge that Yi Moxu was holding.
Eleven's eyes darted around several times before he quickly ran to Ye Qing'an's bedside and knelt down: "Mother, am I going to be a big brother soon?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu were both a little confused by Eleven's sudden change of topic: "What brother?"
Eleven raised her finger and pointed to the porridge in Yi Moxu's hand: "Mother looks like she's recuperating here. And today, unusually, Mother didn't even wear rouge or powder, nor did she wear any hairpins or hair ornaments. Father even made chicken soup porridge for Mother..."
"Isn't it because Mommy is pregnant with a baby? If Mommy is pregnant with a younger brother or sister, then naturally I will be the older brother."
Ye Qing'an sighed, somewhat amused and exasperated: "Who told you that? Who taught you that?"
Eleven stuck out his tongue: "When I'm bored lately, I go to train the horses. The stable manager's wife is pregnant. The other day when I was training the horses, his wife came over, and he told her that since she's pregnant, she shouldn't wear makeup anymore, because it's not good for the baby."
"He also said he made chicken soup for her to drink when she got home to help her recover."
Eleven shook her head, staring at her parents with a curious look: "So, is Mommy pregnant with a little brother or sister?"
"No, that's not true." Ye Qing'an raised her hand and gently tapped Eleven's forehead: "It's just that Mother caught a cold recently and is feeling a bit unwell. It's not a big deal, but your father is making a mountain out of a molehill and insists that I stay here to recuperate."
"Ah..." Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Eleven felt inexplicably disappointed: "I don't have any younger brothers or sisters."
But she was also worried about Ye Qing'an's health: "How is Mother? Is she feeling unwell anywhere? Is she taking her medicine properly?"
"Your father is a medical practitioner, do you think I won't have medicine to drink?"
Eleven suddenly realized: "Oh right, I almost forgot about that."
"Has Mother been recuperating here recently?"
When Ye Qing'an heard Eleven ask this question, she did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu nodded: "Yes."
"That's wonderful!" Eleven exclaimed happily. "Then I can find ways to spend time with Mom every day!"
"Okay." Ye Qing'an smiled as she looked at Eleven's happy expression.
"It's just that we can't let others find out."
Eleven patted her chest: "Don't worry, Mother, I'll be careful."
As the mother and son talked, Yi Moxu stayed by her side without saying a word, but his hand kept stirring the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and occasionally he would gently touch the bowl with his hand.
After a while, Yi Moxu brought the porridge over: "It's not too hot anymore, try it."
Ye Qing'an nodded, took it, and slowly drank it.
Yi Moxu stood aside and watched.
Eleven looked up at this person and then at that person, chuckling to herself, "It's getting late, I'm going to go to bed now. I'll come visit Mother again tomorrow..."
"it is good."
Once Shi Yi left, only Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu remained in the library.
After Ye Qing'an finished her porridge and put down her bowl, Yi Moxu sat down beside her and stretched out his hand to Ye Qing'an: "Hold out your hand, I want to check your pulse."
Ye Qing'an readily agreed, her gaze fixed on Yi Moxu: "I've already woken up, and when I tried to get up just now, I didn't feel too uncomfortable, so I should be fine."
“You don’t need to stay here with me all the time. Gu Duo’s matter and An Zhicheng’s matter are waiting for you to resolve.”
Under Ye Qing'an's gaze, Yi Moxu's expression remained completely unchanged.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "After I disappeared, the Crown Prince and Liu Enze both thought I had been taken away by the rebels. They searched everywhere and sent people to challenge the rebels to hand me over."
"Aren't you going back to deal with this?"
"Furthermore... now that Gu Duo's soul has been recovered, you have this bargaining chip in your hand, so you can go all out and gamble. If you keep delaying, I'm afraid something might happen."
Yi Moxu had already checked Ye Qing'an's pulse, and only looked up at Ye Qing'an: "Do you really want me to leave?"
Ye Qing'an clicked her tongue: "Although it's quite pleasing to the eye to see Prince Duan making soup and porridge for me, I still think that Prince Duan is most handsome when he is strategizing and conquering all sides."
“Okay.” Yi Moxu nodded. “I’ll go right away.”
Yi Moxu raised his hand and ruffled Ye Qing'an's hair, not because Ye Qing'an had provoked him: "You stay here and rest for three more days, then I will take you out."
"Three days?" Ye Qing'an blinked. "Okay, I have to go back to the camp too. After all, Liu Enze is still in the camp, and I still have to keep an eye on him."
Yi Moxu remained silent, only thinking to himself that he would pick her up in three days.
However, this did not mean that she was to be sent back to the Siyou Kingdom's army camp.
From now on, he will never let go again.
