Xie Jinbai pinched her fingertips, a casual smile on his face. "He should be the one wondering if *I* have any objections."
Those words were simply treasonous, especially coming from him.
This couldn't be dismissed as a couple of angry remarks.
Cui Lingyao's expression grew solemn. "What are you planning to do?"
"Don't ask about that."
Xie Jinbai reached out to tuck in the corner of her blanket. "You don't need to worry about these things. Just pretend you don't know."
"...Alright."
She didn't understand matters of the court anyway, so telling her would be pointless.
'Besides, no matter what he wants to do, I'll always be on his side.'
Cui Lingyao said, "I won't ask, but you have to remember you're about to be a father. Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation."
It was rare for him to receive such concern from her. Xie Jinbai couldn't help but smile. "Noted."
He gave her cheek a gentle squeeze and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll never make you a widow."
