Chapter 72: The Years Are Quiet (Part 1)

Chun Yufei was so excited that his face turned red.

He has been weak since he was a child, rarely interacts with outsiders, and is not close to his maternal relatives.

Apart from his parents and eldest sister, his younger uncle is the person he is closest to.

Now that he heard that he himself was going to be a younger uncle, all kinds of pictures immediately appeared in his little mind.

The chubby little baby smiled at him with a wide grin, waving its little arms and hands to call him uncle, uncle...

"Dad, is the little baby in eldest sister's belly a nephew or a niece? Is he as cute as Nao Nao and the others? Should I prepare a meeting gift for him?"

The series of questions made Lord Chunyu laugh.

He rubbed the top of his son's hair: "What a silly boy. The baby hasn't even been born yet. As a father, I can't answer you these questions."

But I can guarantee that it must be a very cute and beautiful little doll, and Fei'er will definitely like it."

Chun Yufei blinked and said, "Then... what kind of gift should I prepare?"

City Lord Chunyu's smile became even brighter, but he did not hesitate to do things just because his son was young.

He thought for a while and then said: "Fei'er, your uncle has given you many gifts over the years. Which one is your favorite?"

"Well..." Chun Yufei twisted his little hands: "What I like most is the small windmill that my uncle made for me."

Lord Chunyu couldn't help laughing.

Lu Sheng is a very smart person, but he has only been interested in medical skills since he was a child. He is somewhat knowledgeable in other things, but he is not proficient in them.

Especially in terms of handicrafts, compared to him and Yi'er who are proficient in mechanism skills, it can be said to be terrible.

But it was such a crudely made windmill that became Fei'er's favorite thing.

"Fei'er plans to make something for your eldest sister's child, right?"

Chun Yufei nodded and said, "But I don't know anything..."

"There are still a few months left, and I will teach you slowly as a father."

"Daddy can stay with me every day?" Chun Yufei was a little unbelievable.

City Lord Chunyu felt increasingly sad.

He is such an incompetent father that even his children don't believe what he says.

"Father, I promise that I will be with you every day."

"Great, then Fei'er wants to sleep with me tonight!"

"Okay!" City Lord Chunyu agreed very simply, and said in a consultative tone: "My father has just returned home, and I have something to say to your mother. Can you go back to your room and wash up first?"

Chun Yufei was just starting to become sensible. After listening to his father's words, he suddenly realized that his parents were husband and wife, and they seemed to rest together at night.

"Dad, I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow, so I'll go back to bed first.

Please talk to your mother and she will miss you."

City Lord Chunyu smiled and said: "Okay, as a father, talk to your mother and you should sleep well, so that you can grow up quickly."

The maid and her mother-in-law left with Chunyu Fei, while the city lord Chunyu went to Li's room.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and Ms. Li, who was leaning on the bedside, was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.

Looking at her stiff body, City Lord Chunyu shook his head gently and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"Aru..." He reached out and pushed Li.

Mrs. Li jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle, and said in a panic: "Chun Yulan, I did this alone, don't blame Fei'er!"

City Lord Chunyu said warmly: "A'ru, it's because I've been sorry to you all these years that I made you think like that.

The matter is over, let’s not mention it, okay?”

Mr. Li swallowed: "You really don't care about me and you won't leave Ruoshui City in the future?"

"Yes, I won't argue with you about what happened in the past, and I won't leave Ruoshui City, but..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen..." Li covered her ears with both hands.

What she hated most in her life was the word "but" coming out of Chun Yulan's mouth.

No matter how beautiful the previous words are, as soon as this word appears, no matter how beautiful the words are, they become nonsense.

City Lord Chunyu pulled her hand down and said warmly: "You should be able to see that I don't have much time left."

Li completely forgot to breathe and stared at him blankly.

"Aru, although you were born in Jin Kingdom, you grew up in Ruoshui City, and you are no different from the women here.

The women of Ruoshui City have never been the vassals of men, and there is no need to trap themselves in unhappy marriages."

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to make peace with me?!" Li's emotions suddenly became excited.

Lord Chunyu said very patiently: "You are not yet thirty years old, and you still have a long way to go in life.

Fei'er has his own life, you can't live alone for decades."

"That's my own business, there's no need for you to pretend to be compassionate here!" Mrs. Li covered her face and cried.

"What did I do wrong to make you treat me like this? I just like you..."

Lord Chunyu patted her shoulder gently: "You did nothing wrong, it was me who was wrong. I shouldn't be so selfish, marrying you even though I know I can't give you what you want."

"No..." Ms. Li threw herself into his arms and cried loudly: "Husband, it's all my fault. I insisted on marrying you.

We have been married for eight years, but do you know, I have liked you for more than ten years...

I have never coveted the position of the city lord's wife, I just feel sorry for you...such a magnificent person, but a lonely person..."

Chunyu City Lord's tears slowly dripped down the corners of his eyes.

If Li was coveting the position of the city lord's wife, he wouldn't feel so guilty.

But guilt is not the same as emotion. Using emotion to make up for guilt is a blasphemy against emotion.

Besides, his life is coming to an end and he should no longer give hope to others.

"Aru, I know your affection for me, but I can't deceive you."

Mrs. Li pushed him away: "I grew up in Ruoshui City, but in my heart I will always be a woman from the Kingdom of Jin.

Since I married you, my surname will always be Chunyu, unless you divorce me!"

City Lord Chunyu said: "I respect your choice. Princess Yiyang is a person who values ​​her commitment. Even if I leave, she will take good care of you."

"What should I worry about?" Ms. Li raised her eyes and looked at the ceiling of the tent, trying hard not to let more tears flow out.

Lord Chunyu took out his silk handkerchief and wiped her face: "I am destined not to be a qualified husband or father in this life.

I can’t pay back what I owe you, what I owe Fei’er…”

"Stop talking, you can't pay back what you owe Fei'er!" Mrs. Li interrupted him.

"I know, but I will spend all the remaining time with him.

Aru, I don't have much time, just forget about the past." City Lord Chunyu said softly.
