Chapter 1553: Never Hide Anything

Once Feng Fuce explained the situation clearly, Bai Zhi’er sat by the edge of the bed, sinking into a long silence.

Feng Fuce looked at her: "I hope next time you can trust me, and not bear so much on your own. Keeping quiet hurts more than gambling with the divine status, do you know that?"

Bai Zhi’er lowered her head, tears falling onto her dress, creating circles of warmth one after another.

She choked up and said: "I really have no way because I know you so well. When you discover my mana is declining, unable to maintain the stability of the Three Realms, you would surely choose to sacrifice yourself."

Feng Fuce embraced her, his voice deep and calming.

"There must be another way. In any case, you shouldn’t worry too much right now, or it won’t be good for your health."

He laid Bai Zhi’er down, made her comfortable, and covered her with a brocade quilt.

Bai Zhi’er looked at him and cried for a while, tears like a river breaking its banks, she cried for a long time.

Feng Fuce understood the pressure and grievance in her heart; he couldn’t imagine how she had endured all this time.

He gently wiped her tears away with the pad of his thumb.

Until Bai Zhi’er finally stopped crying.

Her voice was heavy, breathing in as she said: "After telling you, the feeling in my heart is like a heavy stone suddenly disappearing."

Hearing this, Feng Fuce smiled, his features handsome: "You should have told me. I am your husband, and the things you’re worried about are mine to bear."

Then, he gently patted Bai Zhi’er’s head: "Get some sleep."

She snuggled into the blanket, feeling secure as she closed her eyes.

But Bai Zhi’er also had a concern.

Why did Feng Fuce seem to have something on his mind?

He truly wants to get married; Bai Zhi’er knows he’s a responsible person, so he hastens to give her and the child a status.

However, he didn’t mention it just now.

Feeling puzzled, Bai Zhi’er opened her watery eyes again and saw Feng Fuce gazing at her quietly.

In his deep gaze, there seemed to be thoughts he couldn’t share with anyone.

Seeing her eyes open, Feng Fuce restrained his gaze.

He asked: "What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?"

Bai Zhi’er moved inward on the bed.

"Hmm, I can’t sleep, come up here." She blinked her long lashes.

Feng Fuce was startled at first, but then he laid beside Bai Zhi’er as requested.

She immediately held his arm tightly, like she was completely dependent on him like Little Hua, closely beside him.

"Brother Fu Ce, we have to promise each other never to hide anything in the future, alright?"

Listening to her, the corners of Feng Fuce’s lips lifted in a doting smile.

"I promise you, but you have to follow through as well."

"Of course I will; I’ll never act on my own again in the future. I’ll discuss things with you, but you can’t hide anything from me either."

Saying this, Bai Zhi’er hooked his finger, drawing a playful circle in his palm.

This gesture made Feng Fuce truly understand what it meant to have a loving wife, making him restless.

Bai Zhi’er is surely more suited to be a demon; she knows how to entice him naturally.

Her voice was soft: "That’s agreed! Our future days will get better and better, for ourselves and for the baby in the belly."

Seeing Feng Fuce nod, Bai Zhi’er hugged his arm and soon fell asleep.

Watching her sleep soundly, Feng Fuce gently withdrew his hand, quietly left the bed, and exited the room.

Once the door was closed, his expression became solemn as he ordered: "Summon Zhu Yan and Lu Wang to meet me in the main hall."
