Marked by a Tyrant After Transmigrated

Chapter 30

Jin Wang softly responded with a 'hmn,' his palm fell on the back of Ye Shu's head, giving it a gentle caress.

The chamber was quiet for a moment, when Ye Shu suddenly called out, "Jin Wang."

"Hmn?"

Ye Shu seemed to be somewhat spent, his voice sounded faint and very light. "That was the first time someone played with me in the snow."

Jin Wang's movement stalled.

"When I was a kid, I lived in a place where it doesn't snow. It would rain once or twice a year, but not a single soul was willing to play with me. Even when I grew up...I still couldn't find a companion."

Jin Wang asked, "Was it when you were at the General's mansion?"

Ye Shu laughed. "No, it was not."

It was at the orphanage. In those days, both of his legs were disabled, he couldn't stand up, thus no one was willing to play with him.

Jin Wang didn't continue to ask and only said warmly, "Gu will accompany you again next year, every year hereafter."

Ye Shu pondered for a moment and shook his head. "May as well not..."

He turned over and looked up at him. "The snowman you built was too unsightly."

"......" Jin Wang said seriously, "Gu can practice."

Just like cooking, he didn't know how but he was willing to learn.

Ye Shu gazed at his handsome countenance and smiled softly, "Okay."

He asked further again, "Winter has clearly just begun this year. Why do we have to wait for next year?"

Jin Wang's expression instantly froze.

Ye Shu enjoyed His Majesty's frozen appearance from up close. He held back a laugh as he continued to ask, "You forbid me from playing in the snow now, but next year I'll be allowed to. How does that make sense?"

"Because..." Jin Wang spoke hesitantly.

Ye Shu, "Because what?"

Jin Wang didn't answer, his gaze moved to Ye Shu's lower abdomen. He had specially inquired from the physician: since Ye Shu had a thin figure, it was unlikely that his pregnancy bump would soon become obvious.

Probably only by the fourth or fifth month would the slightest bulge take shape.

And as the fetus stabilized, Ye Shu's body would have fewer and fewer abnormalities. He could still keep it under wraps for a while if he wanted to.

At first, he was afraid to tell Ye Shu about this matter because the two had been having repetitious misunderstandings at that time, and he was worried that this man wouldn't be able to accept it.

But now that his relationship with Ye Shu de-escalated, he was still afraid to speak out the truth.

If he revealed the reality of the situation now, would this man be angry with him again? Would he think of running away again?

But it would be unfair to the man if he didn't say anything.

His Majesty the monarch had a rare moment of timidity, not knowing what he ought to do.

Ye Shu tugged his sleeve and urged in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why are you not responding to me?"

"...It's nothing," Jin Wang looked away and said in a daunting voice, "The imperial physician said that you have been in poor health recently and you have to recuperate for a few months. You can do whatever you want when you get better."
