Chapter 464: All Excuses (1/2)

During a late night lit by the moon, the room that usually put its lights out early was now fully lit. Two figures facing each other were illuminated by the light.

”What does Wife mean by this?” Baili Yu was confused as he looked towards the bed at Tang Doudou who was refusing to let him get close.

Tang Doudou just glanced at him without speaking.

”Wife, if there's something, just let this husband onto the bed first, then we can talk, alright?” After working for an entire day, all he wanted to do was hug Tang Doudou and sleep.

However, he could faintly guess why Tang Doudou wouldn't let him sleep. He really hadn't given her much attention these past few days. When this occurred to him, he gave an ingratiating smile as he walked towards the bed. ”Baby, have you been listening to Mother these last few days?”

Using the child as an excuse was a technique that he had recently mastered.

Whenever he talked about the child, Tang Doudou would be distracted and start telling him about the baby.

However, it didn't work tonight.

Tang Doudou pulled on the blankets and covered her belly as she continued staring at Baili Yu with a 'confess and I'll be lenient, resist and I'll be strict' expression.

However, Baili Yu hadn't done anything so he didn't understand what she meant by this. He first told her about the information he had found these past few days, then said some sweet nothings, but nothing worked.

Baili Yu was out of ideas and could only looked towards Tang Doudou pitifully. His eyes which were already red from his exhaustion looked even more pitiful this way.

As the night deepened, although Tang Doudou had vowed in the morning to teach Baili Yu a lesson, when she saw how tired he was, her heart ached. She cleared her throat and said, ”If you want to sleep, agree to one thing.”

Baili Yu's face lit up with joy when he saw that Tang Doudou was loosening up. As long as he could sleep now, one thing didn't matter. He would agree to even ten, a hundred things!

”Alright!” His response came instantly.

Tang Doudou nodded in satisfaction as she moved inside. Baili Yu immediately went over and got on the bed. He reached out to hug Tang Doudou, but Tang Doudou stopped him. ”Don't you want to know what it's about?”

Baili Yu lowered his eyes with a slight smile. ”Regardless of what it is, this husband will agree to it.”

”You're sure?”

”Very sure.”

”Then alright. Tomorrow, I want to go with you to investigate Lan Jia's whereabouts!” After Tang Doudou said this, she stared at Baili Yu without blinking.

Baili Yu's half closed eyes abruptly opened, then lowered again. ”No.”

It was as she had expected. Humph!

”It's too dangerous, and Wife is currently pregnant. You should stay in the manor to look after yourself.” Baili Yu reached out again to hug Tang Doudou.

This time, Tang Doudou ducked again and humphed disdainfully. ”Humph! From what I see, you're just hiding a secret. That's why you won't let me go!”

What secret would he have? What exactly is in this girl's little head? Why would her thoughts jump here?

However, after she said this, Baili Yu finally understood why she was angry.

These past few days, he had been heading out early and returning very late. The moment he came back, he would fall asleep. Anyone would wonder what he was doing all day every day.

After figuring out the problem, Baili Yu considered things for a moment, then reached out to stroke Tang Doudou's nose. ”I've already found Lan Jia's current whereabouts, but the situation there isn't clear so I won't be going there again for the time being. I'll be sending some people to scout out the situation. After that, we can discuss the next move.”

Excuses! They were all excuses!

After Tang Doudou heard Baili Yu's explanation, a little person inside her heart was shouting that they were all excuses! He just didn't want her to follow him!

Otherwise, why would he tell her with this timing?

In any case, Tang Doudou couldn't help but feel that Baili Yu was coaxing her because he didn't want her to go with him!

This made it clear that he was hiding something!

”Alright, let's sleep!” When she didn't speak, Baili Yu extinguished the candles with a wave and hugged her to sleep.

However, Tang Doudou couldn't fall asleep. Her eyes remained wide open the entire night. Waves of sleepiness only came it was near morning and she gradually closed her eyes. Once she fell asleep, Baili Yu woke up. Actually, he hadn't slept at all either. When he heard the soft even breathing come from next to him, he opened his eyes to look at Tang Doudou.

”Silly girl. I'm not only busy with investigating Lan Jia, I also have to help Su Yi find a way to get to your world. I also want to be with you and the baby all the time.”

”If there's really a way to go back, would you choose to go back?” Baili Yu's gaze turned hazy. ”Should I keep hiding it from you, stop you, and refuse to allow you to go back? That world probably has your true relatives, right? If I don't let you go back, would that be really selfish?

”But I want to be with you. I just want to be with you. In this lifetime, the next, and the one after that… I want to always be with you, so please forgive my selfishness. I really don't want to lose you.”
