Tang Youyou looked at Ye Yue, always feeling that something was off.
"What's up?"
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, Ye Yue realized that he might have been too eager. This woman might have noticed something.
He was sweating nervously inside, praying that she wouldn't notice anything. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
"Nothing. Aren't we going to the street? Let's go."
Tang Youyou composed herself, said nothing, and walked straight out of the inn's main entrance.
After strolling around the street for a while, she found it rather boring and ended the outing quickly.
"I wonder why Xun Rong hasn't sent a message yet. It's been three days since he left, right?"
Ye Yue was constantly on tenterhooks. Just when he thought he had dodged a bullet, another difficult situation came his way.
"Yeah."
He could only nod in agreement. What else could he say? Could he just blurt out that Xun Rong and Rong Xun were actually the same person?
That would be asking for trouble!
Tang Youyou held the newly - bought candied haws and ate them one by one, looking extremely content. She had no idea how much mental struggle the person beside her had gone through because of her casual question.
"Let's go back. This street - walking is so boring."
Tang Youyou had walked a lot and felt tired. It might also be related to her pregnancy. She couldn't exercise too much now. Otherwise, she would get too tired to walk soon.
She had never seen anyone with such a strong pregnancy reaction as hers. Some pregnant women she had seen were still full of energy at this stage, looking like they had nothing wrong with them.
Unlike her, who got tired easily.
Ye Yue also noticed that she had lost interest in shopping. Although they had bought a lot of things and he was already holding quite a number of items in his hands. If there were one or two more, he wouldn't be able to hold them all.
"There's a tailor shop. Let's go in and take a look."
Tang Youyou saw that the fabrics inside were nice. The patterns on them were very eye - catching, and they also felt of good quality.
As soon as she entered, she took a fancy to two bolts of fabric. She said to the shopkeeper beside her, "Make one dress each with these two bolts of fabric."
The shopkeeper was a knowledgeable person. Seeing that her clothes were expensive and the man behind her, who should be her guard, was also wearing very expensive clothes.
Tang Youyou asked the shopkeeper to take her measurements and deliver the clothes to the inn after they were done.
Just these two sets of clothes cost more than all the things they had bought before.
Tang Youyou had no concept of money and didn't know about daily expenses. Anyway, it was her own money, and she could spend it as she liked.
After shopping, Tang Youyou returned to the inn. After a tiring day, she lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already noon. She sat up on the bed, and a scent seemed to reach her nose. It smelled so good that her stomach growled, and her mouth kept secreting saliva.
She turned to look and saw that the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Just looking at them was overwhelming.
"Who prepared all these?"
She stood up and ran to the table without even putting on her shoes. She stared with her round eyes, trying to figure out the mystery.
"What are you looking at?"
Just as she was about to reach out to grab a piece of the tempting braised pork ribs, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the door.
"Where have you been?"
She saw that the person was Rong Xun, but today's Rong Xun seemed different from usual.
"Where did you go early this morning? I didn't see you anywhere."
Rong Xun was dressed in his usual black clothes, looking extremely outstanding. Even in a crowd, one could spot him at a glance.
"Did you prepare all these?" Tang Youyou asked.
Rong Xun nodded. Seeing You'er's happy expression, the haze in his heart was dispelled a bit.
The gloomy mood that had been lingering just now turned sunny because of the smile in front of him.
At this moment, in the backyard, Lin Sheng was struggling desperately, but no matter how much she wriggled, the ropes on her body would only get tighter.
"Save your energy. You can't escape. But if you tell me where Lin Yuan is, I might spare you."
Lin Sheng stared at him with wide eyes. She stopped struggling much and seemed to accept her fate and calm down.
After Tang Youyou finished eating, she fell asleep again and had a long - lost dream.
But in this dream, someone directly attacked her newborn baby.
Tang Youyou saw the baby who had lost its breath and was so scared that she woke up from the dream.
Rong Xun came in at this time. Seeing You'er gasping for breath, he immediately rushed forward to ask.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Tang Youyou nodded. At this moment, she hadn't recovered from the panic just now. She subconsciously touched her stomach.
Thank goodness, the baby was still there.
She couldn't imagine losing this baby again. She had lost one before, and God had punished her once. It shouldn't be so cruel to let her experience the pain of losing a child again.
But if someone did it deliberately, she, Tang Youyou, would rather die with that person than let them succeed.
This time, no matter the cost, she would do everything to protect this child.
Rong Xun slowly placed his hand on the back of hers and felt the baby that was about to be born with her.
"You'er, I want to discuss something with you."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Tang Youyou was a bit nervous when she saw him rarely come to discuss something with her.
This man always acted unpredictably. She was afraid that he would say something like asking her to get along well with his previous wife.
If he really said such a thing, she would smash the water cup in her hand on his face right away.
"Can I take you back to the Endless Pavilion with me?"
Tang Youyou was a bit slow - witted when she heard this.
The Endless Pavilion? What was that?
"What pavilion?"
Seeing her confusion, Rong Xun grabbed her hand and placed it on his shoulder. He patiently explained the situation of the Endless Pavilion to her.
"The Endless Pavilion is an organization I founded many years ago." Rong Xun said as he gently traced the three characters on her palm.
"Before this, no one knew about this organization. Only the internal members knew. At the beginning, it was just a very small organization, but it has been growing in the past two years. The inside of this organization is absolutely safe. They are capable of protecting you and the baby."
Tang Youyou listened to his words. Although his words were a bit vague, it always seemed that the Endless Pavilion was founded for her and the baby.
"How big is the Endless Pavilion now?" Tang Youyou asked.
"Currently, it has spread across six countries."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou widened her eyes. What did it mean that it had spread across six countries!
"Explain it clearly."
"Excluding the army, there are currently 340 people in the headquarters, about 5,520 people scattered in the six countries, and there are less than 1,000 people outside the six countries."
