In the first year after waking up, he had also constantly questioned himself, wondering whether this was reality or a dream, and what he would do if he woke up one day.
During that time, he, like Wang Jinhe, kept himself busy to feel real and alive, to escape the uncertainty. It wasn’t until recent years that things had slowly started to get better.
“Xiao He, you don’t need to be afraid. This is all real, and we are all here for you,” Su Yu said softly, holding Wang Jinhe.
Wang Jinhe hugged Su Yu and nuzzled against him. “I know.”
“It’s good that you know. From now on, when you’re tired, just rest. We have so many people in our family who can help with anything you want to do,” Su Yu rambled on.
“Okay.” After talking with Su Yu, Wang Jinhe felt much better.
Although their relationship had been close in the past, she had always felt a barrier between them. Now, after sharing everything with Su Yu, she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
Not only Wang Jinhe, but Su Yu also had the same thoughts. He reached out and affectionately patted Wang Jinhe’s head, saying, “We will always be together, watching our children grow up. When we’re old, we can retire here. How does that sound?”
“By then, we won’t have to do anything. We can help take care of the children, or just travel around with them to see some scenery you’ve never seen before,” Su Yu said.
“Okay,” Wang Jinhe suddenly felt hopeful as she listened to Su Yu’s words. Perhaps after the children grew up, she could travel carefree with Su Yu.
“Xiao He, after these two children are born, we won’t have any more. When they are old enough to stand on their own, we’ll pass everything we have to them and then we’ll go out and travel. Just the two of us, with guards, and no one else. How does that sound?” Su Yu proposed.
Wang Jinhe nodded with a sense of longing. “Okay.”
“After we finish with the breeding matters, we’ll go out and travel. It seems like we won’t have the chance now,” Wang Jinhe said, somewhat wistfully, as she placed her hand on her belly.
She actually really wanted to go out and have fun.
“We’ll be able to travel once the two children are as big as Xiao Bao,” Su Yu reassured her.
Wang Jinhe nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
Su Yu reached out and touched Wang Jinhe’s belly, feeling the baby’s movements, and a sense of unprecedented tranquility washed over him.
“Have they been causing any trouble today?” Su Yu asked.
Wang Jinhe shook her head with a smile. “No, both children have been very well-behaved today, not too much trouble.”
“That’s good. Otherwise, they’ll get a spanking once they’re born,” Su Yu joked.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He was quite the character, but she found it endearing.
In Su Yu’s heart, even with the children, she remained the most important person, and that made Wang Jinhe very content.
“By the way, the baby crib and stroller you designed are ready. Shall we go take a look?” Su Yu suddenly remembered this and realized he had forgotten to mention it to Wang Jinhe.
Wang Jinhe nodded with a smile. “Sure, let’s go see how they turned out.”
The two went to see the baby crib, only to find that it hadn’t been assembled yet.
Su Yu had seen the blueprints and knew how to put it together. He quickly assembled the baby crib himself, and then moved on to the stroller.
After assembling it, he hung the small toys made by Wang Jinhe on the crib.
Looking at the finished products, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. “Very nice. I had them made big so they can use them until they’re one or two years old.”
“Indeed.”
“Su Yu, could you go and call Sinong and the others? I need to talk to them about the corn,” Wang Jinhe requested.
“Okay.”
After Sinong and the others arrived, Wang Jinhe discussed the planting matters with them, and they listened attentively.
“Madam, rest assured and focus on your pregnancy. We’ll take care of these matters,” Sinong assured her.
“Alright, I appreciate your help,” Wang Jinhe replied.
“No need to be polite,” they said, not daring to imply that they were troubled by Wang Jinhe’s requests, especially with Su Yu watching them like a hawk. They wouldn’t dare provoke him.
Su Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit disdainful as he watched them, finding their timidity akin to that of a cat.
Once Sinong and the others had been briefed on the planting, they left, not wanting to disturb Wang Jinhe’s rest.
“Darling, why do I feel like they’re so afraid of you? How could they be afraid of you when you’re so handsome?” Wang Jinhe asked curiously, looking at Su Yu.
“Do you think I’m scary?” Su Yu asked, leaning in to ask Wang Jinhe.
“Of course not,” she replied.
“Then it’s their problem,” Su Yu said. Fortunately, Sinong and the others had left, or he would have had a word or two with them.
When has the Imperial Prince Yu ever been easy to talk to, except in front of his family? If anyone dared to say that Su Yu wasn’t fearsome, the deceased Xie Chen’s family and the current imprisoned King Zhenbei would probably be furious. Both of them had fallen into the hands of Prince Yu.
Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Su Yu solemnly shift the blame onto Sinong and the others.
“Don’t think I don’t know what kind of person you are. You can’t fool me. I’m just pregnant, not stupid,” Wang Jinhe said, giving Su Yu a playful glare.
Su Yu smiled but didn’t say anything. Whether she was directly calling herself stupid was up to her.
Su Yu had intended for Wang Jinhe to rest for a few days, but the next day, the uncle who was in charge of building the house came over.
Seeing him, Su Yu was in a very bad mood, but he couldn’t vent his anger on the man. He could only listen to the two of them discuss the matter with a stern expression.
“We’ve already found the person in charge, and we can start construction at any time. We’ve also made arrangements with the brick and tile kiln. They will fully supply all the bricks and tiles. We’ve calculated the time, and in five days, it will be a good day to start construction,” the uncle said.
Wang Jinhe nodded to indicate her understanding. “We’ll follow the schedule you’ve calculated.”
After the house-building uncle and Wang Jinhe finished their discussion, the uncle left, not daring to linger any longer. The way the County Lord (probably referring to Su Yu since his identity as a prince was only known by a few close family and friends) looked at him was truly intimidating.
Once the man had left, Wang Jinhe remembered the matter of the granary. “Su Yu, what about the granary?”
“We need to find specialized craftsmen to build it. After all, the granary is a major matter, and we can’t afford any mistakes,” Su Yu replied.
Wang Jinhe nodded. “You’re right. We can ask Luo su and the others to help us inquire if they know any craftsmen.”
With so many fields, they must have specialized warehouses, and the construction of a granary was both complicated and particular. They should be able to find someone.
“Okay.”
As long as Wang Jinhe didn’t take on these matters herself, Su Yu didn’t say a word.
Su Yu sent someone to the academy to find Wang Jingyu and ask him to inform Luo Su and the others.
Upon learning about the matter, Luo Su and the others made a trip home that very evening and discussed it with His father Boss Luo.
“We do know some craftsmen,” Boss Luo said. “But they don’t readily take on such projects. We’ll need to wait for Boss Yang to make the arrangements.”
