"I know you don't like hearing what I say. But I can't stop thinking about it. You are my wife, and you are carrying my child in your belly. If I die, you will be the young mistress of Xiling, and the child will be the young master of Xiling. With Butler Yang here, One-Eyed Dragon here, and these brothers here, you two will not be bullied or starve or freeze."
He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face: "But if you go with me, what if... What if we can't come back? What will happen to the child? He will die with us before he has time to see the world. I can't. I can't let my child not even have a chance to be born."
Chen Xue burst into tears, but was speechless.
Chen Yulou held her in his arms, his voice choked with sobs: "Madam, wait for me. Wait for me to come back. After I come back, we will live a good life as a family of three."
