Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Confession

With the baby joining in, the previous awkward atmosphere dissipated.

The two of them chatted with the baby for a while until she calmed down, and then began their own conversation.

Gu Kaiyuan touched his nose and confessed, "I’m going out to handle some of my business assets. This time I’ll be fully prepared and will definitely protect you and our daughter."

Bai Suihe, "You have business assets?"

This wasn’t mentioned in the book, nor in the original owner’s memories. However, after returning to the capital, it seemed we never lacked money. No wonder he’s the antagonist; he really hid deeply.

"I acquired some previously, wanted to ask if you have any plans." Gu Kaiyuan’s tone was flattering, his wife and daughter have returned from rebirth, and he still feels guilty for not protecting them in the past life.

"How much are you planning to acquire? Don’t forget, this is exile, how much can you take?"

"I’ll arrange for people to help us along the way," Gu Kaiyuan started to share his plans. We’re a couple, so he had nothing to hide.

Bai Suihe looked at him with a complex expression; this was indeed candid.

We’ll be living together in the future, and she needs someone to help cover her use of the magic space. She sighed and said, "I was just about to discuss this with you."

"Third Young Madam, the kitchen has sent the meal over." At the critical moment, they’re always interrupted; it’s a rule.

Gu Kaiyuan, "We can talk about this later."

He then said to the people outside the door, "Send it to the side hall, we’ll be right over."

He tried to help Bai Suihe, but she sidestepped him, "I’m not old enough to need assistance."

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at her belly, indeed she wasn’t at that stage yet, and followed her out of the room.

Today’s meal from the kitchen was more plentiful than before. It seems the servants there know how to treat people based on circumstance; with the master in the manor, the food is twice as much compared to when she eats alone.

The couple quietly finished the meal then took a walk in the backyard before returning to the room to wash up.

Once the maid closed the door and left, the two of them awkwardly looked at each other, feeling slightly uneasy inside.

"What were you trying to tell me earlier?" Gu Kaiyuan brightened the lamp slightly; they say moonlit nights are best for admiring beauties, and indeed, she was beautiful...

Bai Suihe silently cursed herself for being so weak, she lacked even this bit of resilience, besides, she’s now pregnant...

"There’s something I want to tell you, I actually have a place to store the things you’re preparing."

Gu Kaiyuan responded without addressing her point, "Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for people to prepare things in advance along the way, you can also write down any needs you have, I’ll prepare them."

"Can you just listen to me properly?" Bai Suihe placed her palm up, in front of Gu Kaiyuan.

Gu Kaiyuan thought she was thirsty and hurriedly poured her a cup of water, placing it in her palm.

Bai Suihe, "..." Can’t you slow down a bit, she hadn’t even started her magic yet.

The atmosphere was building up but interrupted.

Sighing, she put the cup back on the table, and a red apple appeared directly in her palm.

Gu Kaiyuan, "...Wife, you can do magic after all."

Bai Suihe, "..."

Gu Kaiyuan seemed a bit uneasy, did he misunderstand?

He hurriedly clapped enthusiastically, "Great performance, I couldn’t see any flaw."

Bai Suihe then stuffed the apple into his arms, and a bunch of lychees appeared in her palm, "Understand now?"

Gu Kaiyuan reached to pull Bai Suihe’s sleeve, how did this stuff appear?

"Have you heard of ’a universe within a sleeve’?"

Gu Kaiyuan nodded, "Are you an Immortal?"

"You could call it a space," Bai Suihe decided to explain, otherwise no one would sleep tonight.

"Space?" Gu Kaiyuan found this term unfamiliar, "Is it similar to ’a universe within a sleeve’?"

Bai Suihe quickly recounted the conversation with the baby from the previous days, and the treasure she found in the yard, as fast as possible.

She had to be fast, facing such a curious person; she feared another interruption.

After listening, Gu Kaiyuan was thoughtful, "So that stone has now entered your body, do you feel any discomfort?"

Bai Suihe was pleased with his first reaction and kept her gaze on his eyes, seeing no greed, only genuine concern.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Bai Suihe said, grabbing Gu Kaiyuan’s arm, "I’ll take you inside to see."

The space can nurture animals, people should be able to enter too.

Sure enough, when they opened their eyes again, they were already in the space.

"The baby really treats you well," Gu Kaiyuan turned around with a touch of envy; children are generally closer to their mothers.

"Are you really bothered by that?" Bai Suihe gave him a side-eye, it was the first time he saw his wife roll her eyes, and Gu Kaiyuan found it intriguing.

"I’m not bothered, we’re married, what’s yours is essentially mine."

"No way, what’s mine is mine," Bai Suihe did not agree with his opinion, "If you have things, I can help you store them here, but you can’t take the things here out and do good deeds.

If outsiders find out, we’ll be doomed."

Gu Kaiyuan promptly swore an oath, "I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s important, if I reveal this to a fourth person, I’ll end up abandoned, exposed to the elements."

Bai Suihe, "Hope you remember what you said, otherwise don’t expect good outcomes."

Gu Kaiyuan quickly nodded, grateful for Bai Suihe’s openness.

"And the same goes for you, even your mother-in-law can’t be told," Gu Kaiyuan knows how close his wife is to her mother, fearing she’d divulge this.

"Of course," Bai Suihe pondered a moment before asking, "How do you plan for the Gu Family?"

"I repaid kindness in the past life, this time I only wish to protect you both," Gu Kaiyuan looked at Bai Suihe, wondering if in the past life he hurt them too much, leading her to use such an excuse to not acknowledge him.

But he would show his determination through future actions, not disappointing his wife again.

"Best you do, though I do regret my dowry." Bai Suihe didn’t dare to be like other transmigrators, looting the entire manor, that would just shout out that there’s a big secret.

Then the family wouldn’t escape being tortured severely, and with her fragile self, might not last a day.

Gu Kaiyuan immediately understood the reasoning, "You can pick a few favorite items from the dowry, it’s okay. I’ll check when I leave the manor if there’s anything that can be replaced."

"I still have fifty thousand taels of silver stored away, I’ve already sent someone to purchase supplies and place them at my dowry estate. You need to help me find an excuse to leave the manor for a trip." These aren’t recorded in the dowry list and can be freely allocated.

The estate is in the suburb, she can’t leave the manor for too long, which is another reason for her frankness with Gu Kaiyuan.

"I’ll handle this, didn’t expect my wife’s financial foundation to be stronger than mine, I’ll have to rely on you to support me in the future."
