Understanding his concern, Jinyu lifted his chin, meeting his misty eyes, and kissed his forehead, “No matter if you can see or not, I like you. I want to take you away from here.”
Xu Yi blushed and lowered his head, questioning if he had misheard Jinyu’s declaration of affection. Leaning closer to her, he asked, “Is it true that he is pregnant?” Rumors had circulated about a male prostitute carrying the Jinyu family master’s child. Secluded and unaware, Xu Yi had learned this only today.
At his words, Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat. After a moment, she quietly replied, “Yes,” tightening her embrace around him.
After a silence, Xu Yi parted his lips, “I want our baby too.” He understood he wouldn’t be her only partner, but with her willingness to marry him, he felt content. He had always blamed himself for the loss of the baby two years ago.
Jinyu felt guilty, knowing her current condition might hinder conception. Noting her silence, Xu Yi quickly said, “It’s okay. Just being with you is enough…”
Interlacing their fingers, Jinyu responded, “We can have a baby after we get married.”
Xu Yi blushed again, wondering, “When are we leaving?” Would she marry him when they left? He smiled, “I’ll have Huayan pack our things, but… how do I tell my mother? Will she let me leave with you…?”
Jinyu comforted him, “You don’t need to say anything. In a few days, I’ll come to the Xu family to fetch you and speak with your mother.”
“Okay,” Xu Yi felt relieved, “I’ll follow you wherever you go,” never wanting to be apart.
Now, Yun Mei feels fortunate that although they did not end up together, his cruelty might lead him to a better place. Their marriage was forced, but he willingly followed Jin Yu.
Jin Mo always felt guilty towards Yun Mei because the poison in “Jin Yu” was related to him. She pushed Yun Mei towards “Jin Yu” and Xu Yi, reluctantly sacrificing him.
“You’re here… is there something?” Yun Mei asked faintly, feeling awkward but reconciled.
Jin Mo, seeing Yun Mei’s rosy complexion, felt complex emotions. “The elder sister has handed the Jin family to me and is about to leave the residence.”
Yun Mei smiled faintly, hinting at bitterness, and handed a delicate box to Jin Mo. “This was given to me by the wife during our marriage. I’ve never worn the items inside.” He used to think his heart was attached to her, but now, with her no longer the head of the Jin family, he would not wear it.
If he still loved Jin Mo, he might have worn it, but he no longer did. Yun Mei sighed inwardly, realizing they were ultimately destined to be apart. He had not touched the jade bracelet in two years and felt it should be returned.
Jin Mo was not surprised, understanding that Yun Mei had never liked the elder sister and would not wear the jade bracelet. However, she gently asked, “Yun Mei, do you like the elder sister?” with a serious expression.
Yun Mei was stunned. Did he like her? He had never considered this question, always thinking the wife wanted him and that leaving together was enough. He had thought about preparing to like the wife but had never considered whether he liked her now.
Seeing Yun Mei’s bewilderment, Jin Mo did not press further and left with a sense of melancholy.
Su Xi was pregnant. Jin Yu did not let him pack, and he disliked being served by others, so he asked Xiao Lian to help him.
Since receiving the promised gift from Jin Yu, Xiao Lian was happy, especially as he no longer faced the bullying from Dao’er. However, when seeing Su Xi, he sometimes felt saddened, believing that Jin Yu had more affection for other men.
Xiao Lian helped Su Xi pack, feeling somewhat pitiful. His time wandering around the residence had become shorter.
Finally getting some free time, he thought about never seeing the annoying Jin Mo again and decided to go scold her.
Although Su Xi’s belly was not large, it was slightly rounded, and he liked to caress it. Jin Yu also loved to touch it. Since becoming pregnant, Su Xi’s complexion had become more rosy, and his body more sensitive. Jin Yu was often intimate and caring, causing Su Xi to blush whenever he saw her.
“Wife… “
“Call again.”
“Wife… “
“Call again.”
Jin Yu listened with a bright smile, which only slightly faded after being satisfied. Su Xi’s face was burning like a red glow. Jin Yu caressed his hot cheek, “From now on, always call me like this.”
“… Okay.” Su Xi felt sweet inside but also embarrassed.
As the night became quiet, Su Xi calmed down in Jin Yu’s arms, the redness on his face fading. He asked, “Will Xiao Lian be okay?”
“No, he won’t,” Jin Yu comforted him, “After we leave, I will send someone to seek medical help. Focus on your pregnancy; Xiao Lian will be fine.”
“Okay.” With Jin Yu saying this, Su Xi felt at ease. He trusted her.
In the past, when he and Xiao Lian were sick, they were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Now, with her, he would never have such nightmares again.
Su Xi fell asleep peacefully in Jin Yu’s arms, while Jin Yu gently caressed his belly, gradually sinking into her thoughts.

Soon, the day of departure arrived. Xu Yi felt sweet yet uneasy, worried something might go wrong. When he heard the familiar ‘Xu Yi’ again, his eyes filled with tears, and he excitedly ran towards the voice.
“Be careful,” he fell into a warm embrace. Xu Yi, not caring about anything else, tightly hugged the familiar body, tears finally falling. “I thought you would abandon me again… I was so scared… Don’t leave me…”
Jin Yu embraced him tenderly. “I’m here to take you away. I’ve already spoken with your mother. We will always be together from now on.”
“Yes, yes…” Xu Yi nodded happily, crying and laughing, “Are you really taking me away now? Has Hua Yan helped me pack everything?”
Jin Yu wiped the tears from his face. “Of course. Let’s go.” She picked Xu Yi up around the waist and walked out.
Held in her arms, Xu Yi blushed, his face turning red. Suspended in the air, he felt wonderful.
He gripped Jin Yu’s clothes tightly, afraid of losing this beautiful moment. “You… you’re carrying me out?”
Jinyu looked at Xu Yi, whose face was panicked and uneasy, and felt compassion for him. He was still an unmarried young man who had left the Xu family, where he had relied on for years, without name or status. She didn’t know what his future held. Despite having previously abandoned him, he showed no regret for leaving with her. Jinyu tenderly kissed his forehead, “I won’t abandon you. I will always treat you well.”
“Mm…” Xu Yi could only manage this one word, leaning into Jinyu’s embrace, wanting to remember this moment forever.
Jinyu’s voice remained soft, “If someone else were to take you away, would you follow them just like this? Aren’t you afraid they might sell you?”
“It’s you, so I feel at ease…” Xu Yi said softly, suddenly stiffening and gripping Jinyu’s clothing, his voice filled with anxiety, “You won’t sell me, right?” What would he do if she were to sell him?
Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh, holding him as they got into the carriage, letting him sit on her lap, and embracing him closely. “No, if I were to sell you, it would only be to myself.”
A smile appeared on Xu Yi’s face, his previous nervousness dissipating. His body pressed against Jinyu’s embrace, his face blushing, his heart sweet. Rarely could he be this intimately held; he murmured, “Mm… as long as you’re the one selling me…”
Jinyu sighed inwardly, leaning in to kiss his soft, red lips, gently licking and sucking. Xu Yi’s heart raced, his mind going blank, feeling the hot movements on his lips, his waist growing weak.
So soft, so sweet, Xu Yi couldn’t help but moan as Jinyu slipped her tongue inside, guiding and intertwining with his.
