Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 245: Making Breakfast Especially for His Wife

"You don’t need to bother my wife with these matters. Just tell the interrogators directly," Qin Kaize’s indifferent voice suddenly froze the air. He wheeled his chair over to Su Yijia, gently holding her hand and giving it a squeeze before turning his gaze back to Miao Qingtian behind the iron bars.

"I came to you directly because no matter how much I plead with you, with your personality, you wouldn’t bother," Miao Qingtian had long seen through what kind of person Qin Kaize was. She just didn’t expect his wife to be someone who was tough on the outside and soft on the inside. But even knowing this, she had to take a gamble, as it was her only hope.

"Qin Kaize, I left you a way out and gave your wife a hint. You have to plead for me. I know that you and your uncle have influence. You can’t ignore me," Miao Qingtian pleaded again when she saw the man refusing to respond.

What she did, if directly reported to the interrogators, would indeed result in a slightly lighter punishment for her. But while her actions might save her from a death sentence, she didn’t want to spend her whole life in prison. With heroes like Qin Kaize and a big leader like Xia Weiguo speaking up for her, there was a good chance she would be released in less than half a year.

"Whatever you’ve done and however you’re judged, the security department will have the final say," Qin Kaize was not buying her act at all. Seeing his little wife stifling a yawn, her eyes reddened, he quickly softened his tone and said, "Let’s go back and rest."

"Yeah," Su Yijia nodded obediently, tears glistening in her eyes. She got up and wanted to leave with Qin Kaize.

Seeing that they were ignoring her, Miao Qingtian shouted anxiously, "Qin Kaize, your wife needs me! In the near future, I can save her life!"

Qin Kaize’s brow furrowed deeply. Turning back to her with a gaze like sharp arrows, he pierced Miao Qingtian’s heart, "What do you mean?"

"I can’t explain it right now, but I can tell your wife... Anyway, if she ever falls into a coma, she will definitely need me. None of you can save her!" Miao Qingtian emphasized firmly.

Qin Kaize almost understood what she meant and immediately looked nervously at Su Yijia. But the girl, with her eyes barely open from exhaustion, still looked dazed, with her long eyelashes drooping.

"You better pray that you’re useful, or I’ll make you understand what it means to wish for death," Qin Kaize’s words carried a chilling threat, but in a way, he also agreed to her plea.

The white moonlight illuminated the darkness, enveloping everything in a soft glow. Qin Kaize held Su Yijia’s hand as they slowly walked along the forest path.

Although the scene was filled with romantic bubbles, Su Yijia’s mind was elsewhere.

"666, what did Miao Qingtian mean? If I fall into a coma, will the original owner of this body come to take it back?" she asked.

"In theory, that shouldn’t happen. The characters in this book gained consciousness only after the host entered the world. But nothing is absolute. Miao Qingtian was so sure, it scared me too. I even filed a report to ask the Supreme God, but the response was ambiguous," 666 replied, also feeling startled.

Su Yijia pursed her lips in disdain. She lowered her head and saw that Qin Kaize still looked serious. She gently shook the hand they were holding, diverting his attention.

"Don’t worry too much about what Miao Qingtian said. According to her, as long as I don’t faint, everything will be fine. I’ve already come through so many dangerous situations without fainting, haven’t I?" Her soft voice was like the tinkling of spring water, instantly smoothing out Qin Kaize’s restlessness.

"I’ll protect you well in the future and won’t let you get into danger again," Qin Kaize’s voice was slightly solemn, especially when he made such a serious promise.

Su Yijia always felt that his words were like setting a flag, which made her feel uneasy. She quickly changed the subject.

"What will happen to Miao Qingtian? It shouldn’t just end with a slap on the wrist, right?"

"Well, as long as it’s confirmed that she really switched the medicine, we will definitely take her surrender into account. As for the rest, we’ll have to wait for the security department to investigate thoroughly before making a final judgment. I’ll let you know the results when they come out," Qin Kaize preemptively briefed his wife on the upcoming events to prevent her from worrying.

After sending the people outside the room, he struggled to stand up, touched Su Yijia’s head, and said, "Be good, don’t think too much when we get back. Go to bed early. We’re going to the island tomorrow, and you can visit the market by the coast after waking up."

"Goodnight, see you tomorrow," Su Yijia tiptoed and lightly pecked Qin Kaize’s lips before he could react. Then, taking advantage of his distraction, she bounced back to the room.

She lifted her hand to touch her lips, which still seemed to retain the warm, soft feeling. The corners of Qin Kaize’s eyes unconsciously curved upwards with a hint of a smile. In the moonlight, the air was filled with a vibrant spring atmosphere.

The next day, Su Yijia woke up early for the market, a rare occurrence for her. Perhaps it was because her skin was too fair and tender, or maybe it was because she had slept later than usual last night. There was a faint shadow of dark circles under her eyes. Rather than making her look bad, it added a touch of pitiful exhaustion.

"Jiajia, if you haven’t slept well, you can sleep more. We’re not in a hurry to go to the island," Xia Weiguo said with concern, looking at the slightly confused girl.

The belongings had already been delivered to this side yesterday and handed over to the security department leaders who came from Kyoto. They were completely out of danger, so even if they delayed going to the island for a couple of days, it wouldn’t matter.

"I can’t fall back asleep once I’m awake. I’ll just sleep early after we get to the island today," Su Yijia shook her head and served herself a bowl of millet porridge. The porridge, mixed with corn kernels and a hint of sweetness, tasted particularly fragrant and soft. Her eyes instantly brightened.

"Do you like it? Ze made it specially for you. He got up at five this morning," Grandma Lin said, handing her a steamed bun. The bun had a thin skin and a generous filling, with sparkling meat soup inside. It was almost identical to the authentic steam buns in Hu City she used to eat at a century-old shop.

After biting into the bun and sipping the meat soup inside, her tongue was slightly scalded. "Take it easy, no one’s competing with you. Let me see if you got burned," Qin Kaize held Su Yijia’s chin, making her turn her head to face him. Blushing, she pushed the man next to her, but he didn’t budge. Qin Kaize persisted, showing no signs of relenting until she opened her mouth for him to inspect.
