Chapter 644: Chapter 649: Give You Face?_1
That bastard said he’d come back and have lunch with you soon, but it’s been over half an hour!
"Miss, you can’t always frown like that; it will affect the little master’s mood."
Chen Yiling sat down in a huff, "Why do I feel like he’s avoiding me? Is it because he really doesn’t want to see me?"
"You’re definitely overthinking it. He’s just suppressing the bandits now, and there are many things to deal with afterward."
ChunTao tried to persuade her tirelessly.
Women do get over-anxious when they are pregnant. Without timely consolation, they can easily get upset.
Chen Yiling nodded; it should be that way, right?
Although she was a bit pregnant, it still had nothing to do with ugliness.
But this thought was like poison; once it emerged, it couldn’t be dismissed.
Alas, why was she so insecure?
She had never been like this before.
ChunTao poured a glass of water for Chen Yiling, and she sipped from the cup, still full of worries.
"Miss, if you have anything on your mind, just talk about it. We can think of something together."
Chen Yiling put down the cup and said resignedly, "ChunTao, I might as well clear the air, and from now on, you can just stay in the room and serve."
After bearing a child, the wives of wealthy families usually arrange for a concubine to retain their husband’s affection.
If she had to do the same, she would rather it be ChunTao.
They’d grown up together, and ChunTao definitely wouldn’t harbor any thoughts of harming her.
Before Chen Yiling could finish, ChunTao quickly knelt down, "Miss, I have been your maid all my life, never daring to overstep my bounds."
Her miss treated her well, and if she became a concubine, their relationship as master and servant would certainly be affected.
Moreover, the master only had eyes for the miss, and she wouldn’t be happy being taken in as a concubine.
She’d rather marry a common man and become a main wife.
"I know you’ve never thought about it that way, but with someone else, I might go crazy."
Chen Yiling quickly helped ChunTao up.
But she was being selfish in doing so; she knew ChunTao wouldn’t compete with her, but which woman wouldn’t want her husband’s affection?
"The master said he wouldn’t take concubines. Miss, don’t think too much," ChunTao almost cried, distressed by her miss’s terrible thoughts.
Chen Yiling said irritably, "But I always feel he doesn’t like me anymore and always wants to run outside."
If he kept a woman outside and fathered a few more children, wouldn’t she be disgusted to death?
Maybe that woman outside would use some tricks, and she’d be pushed away, just like her mother said; she had a foul temper and wore her heart on her sleeve, easily crushed in three rounds.
"ChunTao, you go out first," said Qin Longyun with a stern face.
ChunTao ran out like a wisp of smoke as if chased by a demon.
Chen Yiling quickly stood up, her head bowed, "How come you enter without even knocking on the door?"
She was sitting with her back to the door, and almost scared to death when she suddenly heard Qin Longyun speak.
"If I had knocked, how would I know that my wife is so dissatisfied with me?" Qin Longyun said, squinting his eyes. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
That look made Chen Yiling’s heart thump violently because every time Qin Longyun looked like that, it meant he was angry.
Chen Yiling, clutching the hem of her dress, said uneasily, "I’m pregnant and it’s inconvenient for me, so I thought... I thought of getting you a concubine."
"I’ll say it again, in this life, I’ll only sleep with you," Qin Longyun said through clenched teeth.
No matter how good others were, they couldn’t catch his eye.
"Doesn’t that make you uncomfortable?"
Chen Yiling awkwardly asked. Asking such a direct question made her face blush, a proper lady like her blushing enough to drip blood.
