My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 79: A Hostage
Chapter 79: A Hostage
Du Suilan forbade the Dragon Guard from retreating.
But he had also said that Nie Yao had equal authority and could command the Dragon Guard.
Now, they were in a bind.
With two masters, who should they obey?
“Turn around! At least turn around, alright?” Nie Yao wiped the streaming tears from his wife’s eyes, saying in a low voice, “Wife, do you want them to see you crying like a mess?”
No!!
Du Suilan: “I can kill… muffled”
Kill what, kill?
There are thirty thousand people! Wife, you little amateur, who can you kill?
Nie Yao quickly covered his wife’s mouth and ordered all the Dragon Guards to turn their backs.
“…And you too, Dad.”
Nie Yao was exasperated. Why was his father adding to the chaos at a time like this?
And handing a sword to his wife?
Dad, are you really not afraid of losing your son?!
“No way, I have to watch you!” Qi Hewen insisted on staying there to protect his Lanlan Baby.
Nie Yao had no immediate way to deal with him and could only try his best to ignore him.
“Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwah… wuwuwuwuwu…”
“Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!!!”
Du Suilan cried until his eyes were swollen, but he still couldn’t bring himself to use the sword on his husband. Instead, he straddled him and fiercely tugged at his ears.
Hiss~ So painful!
Nie Yao was truly defeated, “Wife, be gentle, my ears are going to fall off!”
“Then let them! You deserve it!”
Although he said that, Du Suilan’s grip on his hands loosened.
“Wu, wuwuwuwu…”
“Wife, please stop crying, alright?” Nie Yao’s front clothes were soaked with his wife’s tears, and he felt heartbroken. “Look, your eyes are all swollen from crying.”
“I can’t see! Bad guy! Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!!”
Du Suilan thrashed around.
Soon, Nie Yao’s face and neck were scratched, and his hair was messy.
“Hehe…” In all these years, this was the first time Qi Hewen had seen his own stinky son so defeated. He couldn’t help but chuckle out loud.
“Dad!!”
Nie Yao’s temple throbbed. He shouted at his father to move further away and stop being a third wheel here!
Fine.
It was okay to gossip, but being a glaring candle was indeed inappropriate.
Qi Hewen reluctantly said, “Lanlan Baby, I’ll go get you something to eat to replenish your energy. If you need anything, remember to call me. I’m your man!”
“Hurry up and go!!”
Having gotten rid of the troublesome person, Nie Yao gently kissed his wife, comforting him softly and letting him slowly calm down.
It took a while.
And after crying so hard, his wife actually became sleepy, his eyelids fluttering as he almost fell asleep in his arms.
“Bad… no, don’t leave!”
Du Suilan startled awake.
His hands were still tightly gripping Nie Yao’s clothes. This time, instead of wailing and throwing a fit, he nestled in Nie Yao’s arms, silently weeping. “Bastard… bastard who abandons his husband and child…”
“Wife, I didn’t…”
“You did! You did!!”
Du Suilan sobbed, “I’m pregnant, and you still want to abandon me to mess around outside. You’re not human!”
Nie Yao: ???
Nie Yao: !!!
Wife, what did you just say?
Nie Yao took a long time to understand that brief sentence.
After coming to his senses.
He looked stunned, then confirmed with his wife again: “Wife, are you pregnant?”
“No!” Du Suilan felt that asking this meant he didn’t believe him, and he denied it angrily.
Nie Yao cautiously touched his wife’s lower abdomen.
He had noticed his wife’s stomach slowly getting bigger, but he thought it was because his wife had been eating too much and liked sleeping recently…
I’m really, really stupid.
His wife had been so obvious, and his father had been teaching him how to care for a pregnant husband, yet he hadn’t suspected this at all.
“I’m sorry, wife…” Nie Yao was filled with self-reproach and guilt.
Thinking that his wife had been bearing the discomfort of pregnancy alone while he knew nothing, Nie Yao felt incredibly distressed.
Now he was crying too.
As a man, Nie Yao wouldn’t cry out loud. He also didn’t want others to see, so he lowered his head and hugged his wife, crying together.
Du Suilan’s head got wet.
Is it raining?
He looked up with swollen eyes and saw his husband kneeling on the ground, crying sadly.
Du Suilan: !!!
Just as Nie Yao couldn’t withstand his wife’s tears, Du Suilan felt the same heartache for his husband.
His husband had always been strong, always found a way to solve any difficulty, and had always patiently cared for him all this time… Du Suilan felt even more heartache.
Forgetting his own crying, he sniffled and helped wipe his husband’s tears.
“I’m sorry, Husband… hic… I didn’t mean to… hic… keep it from you, I just didn’t want… hic… you… hic… to worry… hic… hic…”
“I should be the one apologizing.”
To prevent his wife from worrying about him in turn, Nie Yao quickly composed himself, forcing a smile. “I’m sorry, wife. I won’t go to the border. I’ll stay in the capital and take good care of you and the baby, I’m sorry…”
“Don’t smile, Husband, you look ugly when you smile.”
He didn’t know why, but even though he had achieved his goal, Du Suilan wasn’t happy.
Seeing his husband’s strained smile, his heartache for him increased instead of decreasing.
“Ugly? Wife, are you disgusted with me?”
He joked with his wife as usual.
Du Suilan had his husband back, and he obediently returned to the palace with him.
Just as Du Suilan had expected, his husband became even more attentive and caring after learning about the pregnancy. He cleared out everything he considered harmful in the palace, even having all the sharp-cornered tables and chairs rounded off to prevent him from getting hurt. Furthermore, he carefully assisted him even when he walked, afraid he might fall.
Du Suilan didn’t like this.
But the moment he refused, his husband would become sad and upset.
His husband never let him see his inner turmoil, trying his best to hide it so his pregnant husband wouldn’t feel the slightest discomfort.
Frustrating.
Du Suilan was extremely frustrated.
But this was only the beginning. One night later, Du Suilan noticed his husband woke up several times. Sometimes he massaged his legs, and sometimes he gently stroked his belly, foolishly talking to the little thing inside—Can it even understand? Why is he talking to it?
Plus, his husband still had to deal with army matters.
In just a few days, his beloved husband had lost a lot of weight.
“Husband…” Du Suilan touched his husband’s face, telling him not to worry so much. The Imperial Physician said the baby in his belly was doing very well and would be fine.
But Nie Yao’s biggest worry wasn’t the baby; it was the person carrying the baby.
He had only heard that the process would be very hard, but he could never truly understand what it felt like.
It was precisely this that made Nie Yao feel afraid.
The medical level in this world was too low; he was scared.
“I’m fine, wife.”
Nie Yao thought his wife’s wrinkled little face meant he was uncomfortable somewhere, so he immediately put down the unfinished documents and meticulously asked what was wrong.
So annoying.
Du Suilan felt incredibly annoyed.
“Can you just stop talking!” Du Suilan, unable to pinpoint the cause of his irritation, angrily stomped his foot.
Nie Yao immediately shut up.
But the look in his eyes remained intensely nervous.
