"No! How can it have nothing to do with you!" Chu Chenyi immediately denied it, grabbing Lin Yuwei's wrist.
When he heard Lin Yuwei's words, Chu Chenyi could no longer suppress himself.
"You are my princess, my wife, how can you say it has nothing to do with me!"
This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, as if he would be abandoned in the next second, left alone, and Lin Yuwei would disappear from his side.
A feeling of gain and loss enveloped him, his gaze fixed tightly on Lin Yuwei, not moving an inch, worried that in the blink of an eye, Lin Yuwei would disappear before his eyes.
"You're hurting me!"
Lin Yuwei cried out in surprise. His strength was too great, and her wrist ached with pain. She guessed her wrist was already red.
Realizing his mistake, Chu Chenyi's reason returned slightly, and he quickly let go of her hand.
As expected, five red finger marks appeared on her fair wrist, looking very conspicuous.
Chu Chenyi's heart was filled with guilt. He had lost his composure for a moment and hadn't expected to hurt Lin Yuwei inadvertently.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to. Let me apply some medicine for you."
"No need, the swelling will subside soon."
She was no longer as delicate as before, crying over minor injuries. It was just a little redness and swelling, which would disappear on its own in no time.
"I'll help you apply the medicine." Chu Chenyi was very insistent. He grabbed Lin Yuwei's wrist and began to apply the medicine.
In terms of strength, she was no match for Chu Chenyi, so she stopped struggling and sat obediently, letting Chu Chenyi fuss until he got tired and left.
The cool medicine was applied to her wrist, and the burning pain subsided considerably, feeling quite comfortable.
"Where did you get this medicine?" This medicine was quite good, Lin Yuwei couldn't help but ask.
"It's from the palace."
This medicine was developed by imperial physicians in the palace and had an excellent effect on reducing swelling and relieving pain. Knowing that Lin Yuwei was always careless and often tripped and bumped into things, he had brought a bottle of this medicine.
Just as Lin Yuwei was about to ask for it, Chu Chenyi directly placed the medicine bottle in her hand.
"It was meant for you. You tend to be careless when walking. Keep it with you for use."
"Thank you."
Lin Yuwei was not one to be coy. Since she was given something for free, it would be ungrateful to refuse. She accepted it.
She could give it to Sister Feng Jin, who could then help her make a few more bottles exactly like it.
Seeing that Lin Yuwei had accepted the gift, Chu Chenyi was immediately relieved. The fact that she accepted it meant there was still room for maneuver.
"Then... you'll forgive me this once. I swear with my life that there will never be a next time. If there is a next time, may I be unable to have children, and not..."
"Shut up, stop talking this useless nonsense!"
Lin Yuwei scolded him angrily, telling Chu Chenyi to shut his mouth. He was clearly out of his mind, spouting all sorts of nonsensical things.
He even uttered oaths like being unable to have children without any scruples. They were husband and wife, and if he couldn't have children, it would mean she wouldn't either.
This was tantamount to cursing the child in her womb. With this thought, Lin Yuwei's expression darkened further.
Chu Chenyi naturally noticed this subtle change and thought he had angered Lin Yuwei with something he said.
But after thinking carefully, he didn't feel he had said anything wrong. Could it be that his oath wasn't harsh enough, and Lin Yuwei thought he wasn't sincere enough?
"If you think my oath isn't harsh enough, I'll say an even harsher one. May I lose all my wealth, become a beggar, and beg on the streets..."
"Enough, enough, stop talking!"
Lin Yuwei scolded him angrily. He was saying such thoughtless things, and when he swore, he didn't forget to include her.
If he lost all his wealth and begged on the streets, wouldn't she have to become a beggar woman with him? It would be better to say fewer such oaths.
"What I said..."
"What you said is very good, very good!" Lin Yuwei gritted her teeth and squeezed these words out of her mouth, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Chu Chenyi, wishing she could burn him.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, Lin Yuwei said as calmly as possible, "From now on, if you have to swear, just curse yourself. Don't include me!"
Chu Chenyi was slightly taken aback, not understanding for a moment. He hadn't included Lin Yuwei in his oath. Why was she so angry?
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Women's thoughts are truly hard to fathom. Whatever you say is wrong. It's better for him to say less. The more he does, the more mistakes he makes. It's better to say less.
After much consideration, Chu Chenyi chose to shut his mouth and remain silent. Surely, he wouldn't make any more mistakes.
Lin Yuwei was slightly stunned. Her gaze fell on Chu Chenyi. Why was he so quiet this time, not even speaking? The quieter he was, the stranger she felt.
Her scrutinizing gaze fell on Chu Chenyi. Lin Yuwei cleared her throat and said faintly, "If you have nothing to say, then hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my rest here."
"Then... are you not angry anymore?"
"No!" Lin Yuwei answered instinctively. But when she saw Chu Chenyi's hurt expression, she felt that her previous words might have been too direct. She should have been more tactful.
"Uh... I haven't thought it through yet and don't know how to answer you. You should go back first and give me some time. I'll be fine after I figure it out myself."
Lin Yuwei explained herself more tactfully, but after saying these words, she regretted it again.
Didn't explaining it again make her seem too concerned about Chu Chenyi? The words had been spoken, and there was no room to take them back.
Chu Chenyi's face was full of joy. This meant that Lin Yuwei had forgiven him.
"As long as you can forgive me, I'll do anything." Chu Chenyi said hastily, the stone in his heart slightly lifted.
It seemed his efforts had not been in vain. Lin Yuwei was finally going to forgive him. It was not easy.
