After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Mine?" Xia Nian raised his eyebrows, "Where is he?"

Fu Nian raised his arm and said, "Madam, please come with me. The Pavilion Master said he is in the nearest restaurant."

Xia Nian felt uneasy. Xia Houyu was angry... Did he find the list? But didn't she lock it?

Tao Tao said: "Niannian, do you want to go? This... is such a big event."

Xia Nian looked outside and said, "If you want to go, let's go."

A group of people hurriedly walked outside, constantly evacuating the crowd and protecting Xia Nian outside.

The four of them walked in the middle and felt like countless eyes were staring at them. They could even clearly hear their discussions.

"What are you doing? It doesn't look like you're trying to arrest a criminal, right?"

"No! I heard that this is the wife of Lord Xiahou in the cabinet!"

"How is that possible! As a lady of the cabinet, she must be followed by at least a dozen people when she goes out!"

"Oh, don't guess. Don't forget the city order. It's forbidden to just follow others' advice! Be careful not to get your tongue cut off..."

After these words were spoken, everyone shut up. Fu Nian winked at his men, and they began to evacuate the pedestrians.

The four of them suddenly felt that they were famous.

Meng Yin asked in a low voice: "Niannian, did Xiahou Yu find something about you? It can't be that book!"

Xia Nian shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. He won't understand the book, but won't be angry. I'm worried... about the contraceptive pills."

Meng Yin immediately felt something was wrong and said, "That's not..."

Xia Nian said: "It's okay, I'll take a look later, Xia Houyu won't do anything."

The three of them felt relieved. They all knew that Xiahou Yu would not do anything out of line. They were just worried that there would be a rift between the two of them.

Fu Nian took them to the restaurant, and a man ran down and said, "Third Hall Master, the Pavilion Master is in the private room on the second floor."

They looked up and found two people guarding the door of a house.

Fu Nian said, "Okay, go down." He walked to Xia Nian's side, "Madam, are you sure?"

Xia Nian smiled: "Don't worry."

Fu Nian pursed his lips nervously, knowing in his heart that Lord Xiahou had never been angry in front of the lady.

Meng Yin and the other two couldn't go in, so they went into the next room and lay in the corner to eavesdrop.

The two men pushed the door open, and after Xia Nian went in, the door was closed again, and they stood aside.

Inside the house, Xiahou Yu was leaning on the table, with his arms clasped in front of him, his head lowered, and some of his long hair scattered on his shoulders and some on his back.

He was facing the light, so Xia Nian couldn't see his expression. She walked forward and asked, "Xia Houyu, what happened?"

Xiahou Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes calm and peaceful, staring at her face while holding her chin with two fingers.

"Ah Nian, are you hiding something from me?"

Xia Nian's eyelashes trembled, and he asked, "What did you hear?"

Xiahou Yu bowed his head and looked at her at eye level: "Is there?"

Xia Nian bit her lip and looked down subconsciously. Suddenly, Xia Houyu grabbed her arms and turned them around, and they switched directions. Xia Nian was placed on the table, with her arms blocking her on both sides.

"Anian, why don't you tell me?" Xiahou Yu continued to ask.

Just as Xia Nian was about to speak, he took out the prescription from his arms and shook it twice.

"Why did you hide this from me?"

Xia Nian frowned: "I locked the cabinet, why did you touch my things without permission?"

Xia Houyu sneered, "If I don't move, I don't know when I'll find out that you're taking birth control pills. Besides, you locked the door just to protect me?"

Xia Nian said: "I haven't eaten it many times."

Xiahou Yu said, "Anian, is this because of how many times you took it? You took this medicine and kept it a secret from me."

He took two steps back, Xia Nian jumped off the table and said, "I want to tell you later."

Xiahou Yu smiled and lowered his head, then raised his head again: "Later? Ah Nian, the last time you went to get the medicine was when I took the jade slip. Before that, you had taken it countless times."

"Do you really regard me as your husband? You never tell me anything, and you take this kind of medicine to...harm your body."

"If you don't want to get pregnant, I won't force you, but why didn't you tell me? Am I an outsider? Am I not your husband? Have you been using me all along and never taken me seriously?"

Xia Nian's chest heaved up and down. She didn't expect Xia Hou Yu to think so much.

Xiahou Yu looked up at her, his eyes slightly red.

"Ah Nian, what do you take me for?"

Xia Nian said calmly: "I understand. Please don't be angry first, okay? You are the most important person in my heart besides Yinyin and the others. I don't treat you as an outsider, but I don't know how to tell you."

Xiahou Yu said, "Now that I discovered it and I'm angry, you told me. If I hadn't discovered it, would you have continued to eat until your body completely collapsed?"

Xia Nian said: "No, I'm in good health, this medicine won't do any harm."

Xia Houyu tilted his head to look at her, with a smile on his face: "Really? Then why are your hands and feet cold at night, it hurts when you have your period, and you catch a cold if it's a little cold. How long are you going to lie to me?"

Xia Nian was stunned. She didn't expect that he would take these things that ordinary girls would do as proof of her poor health.

"Xia Houyu, that's normal. Listen to me first. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't agree, and I was afraid you would have wild thoughts and think I didn't want to have your child at all."

Xiahou Yu said, "Anian, indeed, I think of this now. You don't want to have our child because I am not in your heart at all. You don't care about me. You never tell me about your affairs and never ask me for help. Why? Because you don't like me at all, right?"

Xia Nian said angrily: "What are you talking about? How could I not like you? At that time, you and I fell off the cliff together, and I took the initiative to confess my feelings to you!"

Xiahou Yu nodded: "Yes, Anian, you took the initiative to tell me that because I almost died trying to save you, you feel guilty, am I right?" After he finished speaking, he laughed twice at himself.

Xia Nian was irritated by his words. Previously, she had always told Xia Houyu that she would not accept his feelings, but he had been pursuing her relentlessly. She had been very conflicted and hesitant in her heart, fearing that both of them would get hurt. She had finally mustered up the courage to be with him, but he misinterpreted it like this.

"Xia Houyu, how can you say that?"

Xiahou Yu took a deep breath and said, "Why can't I say that, An Nian? You don't know how to refute it, right?"

Xia Nian said: "I can only tell you that I really like you. It was my fault for not telling you clearly about the contraceptive pill."

Xia Houyu suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders, shook her twice, and said through gritted teeth: "Anian, don't you understand? It's not just about the contraceptive pills, it's that you don't care about me at all. You don't care about my feelings. What am I to you?!"

There were tears in his eyes and his lips were trembling. Xia Nian reached out to touch him, but he dodged her.

Just as Xia Nian was about to speak, Xia Houyu stood up first and said in a soft and weak voice: "A Nian, I was just being sentimental."

After saying that, he opened the door and left without looking back.

Xia Nian chased after him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Nian walked forward fearfully and asked, "Madam, nothing happened, did it?"

Xia Nian grabbed the guardrail, and her knuckles turned white from being pinched.

Meng Yin and the other two opened the door and surrounded her: "What's wrong? The soundproofing is so good, I can't hear anything."

Xia Nian put down her hand, lowered her head slightly and walked downstairs: "Xia Houyu knows about the contraceptive pills, he is very angry."

The three of them looked at each other and quickly followed.

Meng Yin said, "If it's just the contraceptive pill, he shouldn't be too angry if you explain it to him, right?"

Xia Nian nodded and said, "He thinks I don't care about him."
