Shen Nanxing looked at him talking nonsense with an expressionless face.

Fu Jiuli smiled at her flatteringly: "Madam~"

"It's no use acting like a spoiled child. I don't agree."

"Ma'am, please believe me, I can get out of this..."

"I don't believe it." Shen Nanxing turned his head to the side.

How many of them were left? Didn't she have any idea? Once they faced the two thousand or so Black Armored Guards chasing them relentlessly, not even a trace of them would be left.

"Madam, can you please be reasonable? Only by splitting up our forces can we have a chance of survival. Why don't you..."

Shen Nanxing interrupted him coldly: "What do you mean by 'we'? It's only me and the child who have a chance of survival!"

She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Fu Jiuli's shirt, pulling him towards her: "I'm telling you, Fu Jiuli, if you dare to use your life to exchange for mine and the child's, and I'm left alone, don't even think about asking me to raise your child!"

She looked at him viciously: "Then I will take your child and marry another man. Let your child call someone else dad, let others beat and scold him, and be bullied by children of the same age, calling him a wild child!"

Looking at the man's innocent eyes, she exerted force and brought him closer to her, meeting his eyes. "Did you hear that?"

Fu Jiuli: "I heard it."

"Do you still dare to come up with such an idea?"

"I don't dare anymore."

Although Fu Jiuli promised her not to consider the idea of ​​splitting the troops into two groups, the moment the carriage entered the Hongmeng Mountains, Shen Nanxing was still very alert, with her eyes wide open, not even daring to doze off.

No matter how Fu Jiuli tried to persuade her, it was useless. She had made up her mind and would never close her eyes.

Fu Jiuli took out some dry food and water from her bag. "If you don't want to sleep, you can eat something, right?"

"No, I'm not hungry." Shen Nanxing didn't even look at the food.

Fu Jiuli's eyes showed helplessness: "Madam, the child is hungry. You haven't eaten for two hours."

"The child isn't hungry." Shen Nanxing said firmly. At this critical moment, she wouldn't eat anything he gave her. She might have been drugged.

Fu Jiuli said earnestly: "Madam, the child cannot stand being hungry..."

Shen Nanxing glared at him: "Is the child in my belly or yours? Am I his mother or are you his mother? If I say he is not hungry, then he is not hungry."

However, just as she finished her words, her stomach growled, especially loudly in the quiet carriage.

Shen Nanxing was stunned, her face slightly red, and she turned her face away further.

Fu Jiuli put down his food, cupped his wife's face with both hands, and gently turned her towards him. He looked at her, his dark eyes revealing a sense of grievance: "Madam, are you afraid that your husband will poison you?"

Shen Nanxing didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Fu Jiuli lowered her eyelids, looking sad: "Madam, do you not even have this little trust in me now?"

As he spoke, he picked up the dry food, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Then he looked at her eagerly and said, "Madam, look, it's not poisonous."

"Can we eat now?" He handed the remaining dry food to his wife.

Shen Nanxing curled her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. She took the dry food and began to eat it in small bites.

She finished eating in a short while. She was indeed hungry.

"Madam, have some water." Fu Jiuli unscrewed the lid of the water bag and handed it to her lips.

Shen Nanxing didn't drink.

Fu Jiuli pursed her lips, a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Madam, are you afraid that your husband will poison the water again?"

Shen Nanxing was silent for a moment and said nothing.

Yes, she was afraid that he would poison the water, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Fu Jiuli brought the water bag to his lips, took a sip, and then fed it to his wife: "Now? Can I drink it?"

Shen Nanxing took the water bag, gulped down a few big gulps, and returned it to him: "Sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you."

"It's okay." Fu Jiuli replied softly.

Then less than a quarter of an hour later, Shen Nanxing closed his eyes unconsciously, leaned on Fu Jiuli, and fell into a deep sleep.
