Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 233: She Is Not a Woman with No Desire!

"No need, no need! We two old folks will just return to Hu City," Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin quickly waved their hands in refusal. They knew the stationed place wasn’t somewhere anyone could go. Ze and Jiajia had special reasons, but they couldn’t break the rules.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, a large batch of people will soon be returning to the city. Many from Hu City will be among them, causing quite a bit of chaos. We wouldn’t feel at ease if you traveled back alone," Xia Weiguo said gravely. Although there hadn’t been an official announcement yet, the documents were already on their way. By the end of the month, the announcement would be official, and a large number of people would be returning, many to their original posts. Given the years of hardship and the numerous betrayals, it was inevitable there would be some unrest.

"But the team’s rules..." Grandpa Lin still felt uneasy. They knew Ze was relying on this uncle’s support. If Comrade Xia encountered any trouble, Jiajia and Kaize’s life would also become difficult.

"You are Jiajia’s grandparents, which makes you my relatives too. The team has other members living with nieces, nephews, mothers-in-law, and so on," Xia Weiguo explained in detail to alleviate their concerns.

"Yes, Grandpa, Grandma, come with us," Su Yijia said, hugging Grandma Lin’s arm and shaking it playfully. They were already reluctant to part with their only granddaughter. With no more worries, what reason did they have to refuse?

"Alright! We’ll go together and do as you say," Grandma Lin said, patting Su Yijia’s hand with a smile that reached her eyes.

Seeing everything settled, Xia Weiguo took the test results to find the village head. Gao Huabin, Grandma Lin, and Grandpa Lin all squeezed into the kitchen, leaving the young couple some privacy.

As soon as Su Yijia entered the room, Qin Kaize reached out to her, the gesture so natural that it was hard to believe he had only been on the receiving end of her affection until now. Men truly had an innate talent for such things, she thought to herself with a sigh.

"Don’t worry, I’ll recover soon," Qin Kaize said, holding her small hand and caressing her soft, delicate fingers.

Su Yijia, flustered, covered his mouth with her hand, but his warm lips kissed her palm, sending shivers through her. Her eyes, initially fierce, softened into bright, shy ones.

"I didn’t expect you to be like this," she muttered, annoyed and embarrassed.

"You are my wife, legally," Qin Kaize replied, his smile growing deeper.

Hmm, why did that sound so familiar? Su Yijia suddenly felt a pang of guilt. She quietly retracted her hand and sat on the kang.

Qin Kaize’s gaze never wavered, his eyes filled with a warmth that made her heart flutter. Feeling uncomfortable under his stare, she turned away and spoke to her system to distract herself.

"666, I remember the Functional Restoration Elixir needs to be taken daily for a month. Can he start now?" she asked in her mind.

"Yes! His recovery is progressing well. He can even start taking the Great Strength Pills now," 666 responded, its tone somewhat enthusiastic.

Su Yijia found its tone odd but decided not to dwell on it since she intended to give the pills to Qin Kaize anyway.

"He needs to take all ten Detoxification Pills to fully recover? Seventy days seems too long," she said, frowning slightly.

"What do you mean by fully recover? Based on his current recovery, after the second Detoxification Pill, he will be able to run and jump. There will still be residual toxins that need to be completely purged. Of course, if you’re thinking about having a baby, you’ll need to wait a bit longer," 666 reminded her earnestly.

Hearing this, Su Yijia couldn’t help but get a bit worked up.

"What do you mean by ’thinking about having a baby’?" she thought, her face flushing with a mix of embarrassment and frustration.

"What do you mean? I worked hard to get those Detoxification Pills, and you want to be nuns for another seventy days?"

Doesn’t this system see how charming Qin Kaize is?

[Host, rest assured. Just flip the soil, no need to sow seeds, and our system isn’t that unreliable.] 666 replied proudly.

Su Yijia pressed her lips together, suppressing a smile that threatened to appear. However, the suspicious blush on her cheeks did not escape Qin Kaize’s eyes. He paused for a moment, then realized that his wife must be secretly communicating with that so-called system. His deep gaze gradually became filled with a mysterious intent.

Su Yijia endured his strange gaze and bravely took out the Great Strength Pills and the restorative potion.

"I just asked, and you can take these now," she said, handing them over.

Qin Kaize’s breath quickened momentarily as he quickly consumed the items. He knew that there wouldn’t be any immediate sensation after taking the Great Strength Pills, so he wanted to try standing up. However, as soon as he managed to stand about ten centimeters, he was forcefully pushed back into the wheelchair.

"Don’t rush. Your inability to stand has more to do with toxin accumulation. After seven days, if you take another Detoxification Pill, you should feel much better," Su Yijia explained, fearing he might feel disheartened.

Seeing Qin Kaize hanging his head in disappointment, she leaned closer to check if he was truly affected. She was also worried if he was becoming too impatient and unable to handle things calmly.

But before she could finish her retort, a pair of large hands tightly grasped her waist and lifted her up until she was sitting on Qin Kaize’s lap.

It wasn’t until she was seated there that Su Yijia came back to her senses.

"Are you impersonating me?" she asked.

"Who told you to sit so far away?" Qin Kaize replied, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous smile.

Seeing the little girl in his arms, her cheeks puffed up with anger like a small frog, he couldn’t resist lightly nibbling on them.

"Don’t be mad. Weren’t you always fond of lying on me before? Now that my body has improved so much, it’s okay for you to sit directly on top of me," Qin Kaize coaxed gently.

His sharply defined features, devoid of the usual sternness, now carried an intense affection that made one’s heart tremble.

Su Yijia used to like gentle puppyish or scholarly men. But now she realized that a strong man with tenderness was truly irresistible.

She hugged Qin Kaize’s neck, burying her face in his shoulder.

"Aren’t you afraid someone might suddenly come in and see us?" her lazy and charming voice murmured.

"They won’t," Qin Kaize replied, holding her as if cradling a child and adjusting her to a more comfortable position. His large palm rested on her back, gently patting her.

After being intensely nervous and vigilant for several hours, Su Yijia unexpectedly felt drowsy under his comforting gestures. She had intended to struggle and say something, but Qin Kaize continued to pat her back gently.

Unable to resist any longer, she fell into a deep sleep.
