Chapter 1048: 478: The Dark Tianshui City! The Devil Lanling!_2

"Afraid..." Zhuang Zhixuan was startled, Yan Nai’er was such a brave girl, completely fearless, how could she be afraid.

Yan Nai’er said, "When I was alone before, of course I was fearless. But now I have a beloved husband, the adorable Qin Qin, Yuanba, and a kind sister, a happy and warm home, so of course I would be afraid, afraid of losing all this."

Zhuang Zhixuan said, "Then... then why are you afraid of Zhen Yan Princess?"

Yan Nai’er said, "I... I feel like she is not a real person, but rather like a painting, a sculpture. Even if she stands before you, eating with you at the same table, you still feel she’s incredibly distant. You look into her eyes, at her face, never knowing what she’s thinking, as if she’s completely devoid of joy or sorrow."

Zhuang Zhixuan looked at Nai’er in astonishment, feeling the same about Zhen Yan Princess, just not as precisely articulated as Nai’er.

However, her feeling is even stronger than Yan Nai’er’s.

Zhi Yu Baby is super adorable, anyone who sees him would love him dearly.

Whenever there’s a chance, Zhuang Zhixuan, Zhi Ning, and Fang Qingzhuo would all vie to hold him.

Ashi Liren is also a woman as cold as frost, whether facing Zhi Ning, Zhuang Zhixuan, or anyone else, always displaying an indifferent demeanor.

But once, when Zhi Yu Baby saw her, he stumbled over wanting to be held.

At that moment, Ashi Liren’s beautiful eyes trembled, and she dashed over like lightning, holding Zhi Yu Baby in her arms, fearing he might fall.

Not only that, but each time she saw the baby, her gaze was soft.

Ashi Liren does not eat with everyone else, but when Zhi Ning is playing with the baby in the yard, she stands at a distance, watching, still with a tender look in her eyes.

So, Ashi Liren’s face is cold, but her heart is warm.

As for Zhen Yan Princess, she only shows a hint of human touch in front of Suo Lun. Even if her manner is cordial towards others, it feels incredibly remote.

Moreover, she has never once reached out to hold Zhi Yu Baby.

Not only that, Zhi Yu Baby is affectionate towards everyone, wanting to be held by anyone he sees, except for Zhen Yan Princess, toward whom he never rushes.

...

At this moment, Yan Nai’er and Zhuang Zhixuan both fell into silence!

Exchanging slightly uneasy glances!

Just then, Ashi Yuanba, pulling Qin Qin, ran over and called out, "Mistress, Aunt Zhuang, it’s time to eat!"

Zhuang Zhixuan and Nai’er put their thoughts aside and followed the two children to eat.

Nai’er is very fond of Qin Qin, and she couldn’t help but pick up her soft body and cooed, "Qin Qin, what did you learn today?"

Qin Qin gave a shy smile, then gestured the movements of playing the zither with her little hands.

Seeing Qin Qin’s adorable appearance, Nai’er couldn’t resist kissing her cheek and said, "Then play it for Mommy tonight, okay?"

After saying that, Nai’er couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment, feeling a bit cheesy inside.

She was now officially married to Suo Lun and was the legitimate wife, so in theory, all of Suo Lun’s children should call her mother.

Moreover, she swore in her heart that she would love each of her husband’s children as her own, despite her displeasure and jealousy over her husband’s many women.

But calling herself ’Mommy’ for the first time, Nai’er still felt quite embarrassed.

Qin Qin also felt shy and then nodded her head.

At noon, the family happily ate together.

The guests were still many, but mostly nobles and high-ranking military officers now.

...

After lunch!

Suo Ningbing taught the two children a literature class!

She was leading the children through a very beautiful text, with Ashi Yuanba reading clearly and precisely, while Qin Qin followed along, forming the correct shapes with her mouth but without making a sound.

Fu Yan’er was imperiously directing servants and maids around.

Gui Qinshu had been sleeping in and only now woke up, petulantly getting out of bed.

Her mother Turing Si kept soothing and pampering her at her side, asking what she wanted to eat.

She didn’t want this or that, complaining that one thing was too greasy, another too sweet, one meat too dry, another too soft.

Essentially, nothing was satisfactory!

Fortunately, Turing Si was used to it; her daughter had always been cranky after waking up.

"Where’s my husband?" Gui Qinshu asked sweetly.

"He went to the sea, he’ll be back soon," Turing Si replied.

Gui Qinshu acted coyly, "He went to the sea and didn’t take me with him."

"How could he take you when you slept so late?" Turing Si said, "Besides, with your big belly, riding a griffin is too rough."

Meanwhile, Zhuang Zhixuan and Yan Nai’er felt an increasing unease and their heartbeats accelerated.

Therefore, the two of them decided to make a personal trip to the seaside!

However, in Suo Lun’s absence, they had no authority to use the Griffin Beast, so the two rode Lion-Tiger Beasts, rushing towards the eastern seaside.

...

An hour and a half later!

Gui Qinshu’s morning temper had long dissipated, and she ate her lunch in high spirits, followed by washing up and cleaning her teeth.

Then, supported by her mother Fu Lingxi, she walked with her pregnant belly in the garden.

Suo Ningbing was teaching the two children to read, and it was just time for a break. Fu Yan’er, seeking to ingratiate herself, brought over three bowls of bird’s nest soup.

"Sister, you must be exhausted, have some bird’s nest!"

Ashi Yuanba finished the bird’s nest in no time, then said, "Aunt, Qin Qin is really good at playing the zither, inheriting the teacher’s talent completely."
