Wife, Please Stop Running Away!

035 : Run, Run, Run Away as Far as I Can

"H-how many months will my stomach start to grow?" Lin Mian Mian asked with concern.

"Just an estimation in my part but I could tell that after a month the bump will be visible. During that time, you will start to feel the child kicking," Chang Jian answered truthfully.

One month... Lin Mian Mian wanted to laugh.

If it is now, he could still hide his pregnancy. But if the bump will start to show the people will surely notice it. He could not just pretend and laugh it out while saying that he is getting baby fats by eating too much, right?

That excuse will become stupid and incomprehensible.

Drinking warm water instead of tea, Lin Mian Mian spent another day filled with worry and distractions. He is on the verge of wanting to laugh and wanting to cry - to think that this is like a joke played on him the whole time. All the efforts that he wasted make his eyes sweat.

After consulting with the old physician last night, Lin Mian Mian and Lu Mao bid their farewells. They did not idle around and hurriedly went straight to the palace. Even though the empire is considered safe and secure, it does not mean that nobody will try to do something 'bad' once they realize their identity.

It's better to be careful than sorry.

Fortunately, they were able to return safe and sound. They quickly went back to the palace using the secret passage Li Hui made for their future escape. They never thought that they will be using this road earlier than they expected. Still, the success of their sneaking out means that it is a feasible road for running way...

Well, of course, they will change their minds once they learned that there are people who were following them all the way. The three escorts are surprised to find such a hidden passage that they quickly made a report to Chang Jian after seeing the ger return home safe. It seems that their plan is slowly being discovered.

After returning home, the children did not ask anything but rather have Lin Mian Mian go to sleep. The maids already expected the results anyway, and there is also Lu Mao who could explain everything to them. Lin Mian Mian thanked the tactfulness of these people and went to sleep after the exhausting day.

That night, while Lin Mian Mian is having a dreamless slumber, a group of people departed from the empire to blackmail the emperor about the 'good news'.

The hours went pass by and the sun rises in the east. The silent palace that was filled with sounds of crickets at night shifted to the sounds of people working in the early mornings. The day started again and so the activities of the day have commenced.

Like in any other place inside the palace, the Jade Lin Courtyard is already filled with diligent servants doing their jobs. This is also to another sound coming from a person who suddenly woke up from the sudden urge to vomit.

Ah, it seems that someone is already suffering so early.

"Bluuurrgghhhh!"

Lin Mian Mian released whatever shit is there in his stomach as he held the basin under his mouth. Lu Mao is on his side, holding towels and other necessary materials to help his master after letting the spit out. Lin Mian Mian vomited the sticky digested substances that he had eaten wonderfully last night. Just by seeing it makes him wanted to puke out again.

The three maids who heard the vomiting rushed inside the room. They already prepared breakfast for their master but it seems that it will take Lin Mian Mian some time to eat something. Lu Mao saw the three rotten women and heaved a sigh.

"Master Lin here's warm water. Drink it," Lu Mao handed a cup to Lin Mian Mian.

Lin Mian Mian accepted the water when he is sure that he's not going to vomit again. Lu Mao discarded the basin with vomit and made sure that nobody will see it.
