Chapter 690: Chapter 695 Thoughtful Consideration_1
Chen Yiling had one more task after moving in with Qiao Duo’er, that was to accompany Chen Yiling on walks.
It’s beneficial for pregnant women to walk as it aids in labor, so she insisted on going out for half an hour each day.
Qiao Duo’er rubbed her hands together, "This damned weather is too cold. If it weren’t for this little thing, I’d definitely be hiding at home and not going anywhere!"
"You must be freezing because Tan Zhenghong isn’t here to keep your hands warm," Chen Yiling asked with mischief.
Otherwise, how come she hadn’t heard Qiao Duo’er complaining when they went to the town last time?
But as mischievous as she was with her words, she still handed Qiao Duo’er her hand warmer.
Pregnant women tend to get hot easily, and after holding it for a while, her palms were all sweaty.
Qiao Duo’er said worriedly, "You’re carrying a child now. If you feel cold, just let me know right away, I’ll be fine."
"I know, but you’re definitely worrying about the wrong person. The Embroidery Room is full of women. Your man left early in the morning, aren’t you worried?"
That morning, Tan Zhenghong had delivered tables to the women of the Embroidery Room, and she didn’t believe Duo’er would be without thoughts on this.
Duo’er said casually, "I feel that if there really was something to worry about, I should send Tan Zhenghong to Brother Bai San first to check his eyes and head, because surely one of them must be not working properly."
Otherwise, how could he give up on her to like someone else?
This confidence made Chen Yiling a bit embarrassed. If she could be so confident herself, she wouldn’t always be doubting Qin Longyun’s feelings for her.
She needed to learn more from Qiao Duo, and stop being suspicious all the time.
She had always heard that men like new things and would forget righteousness at the sight of beauty, but now she saw that not all men were like that.
Speaking of Bai San, Chen Yiling suddenly remembered something, "Old lady Bai’s birthday is on the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, have you prepared your gift?"
As the Bai Family is prominent, one cannot afford a mistake with the gift.
"Six Snow Ears, two pieces of Mountain Ginseng, two fox furs, and two boxes of Anti-Aging Cream."
Qiao Duo’er generously shared her list – the Anti-Aging Cream was a recent discovery from a medical book, which had a significant effect on age spots.
She believed that the love for beauty is innate to all people, regardless of age.
"Not bad, the old lady will surely like it. I also received news that Li Mu’er is already on her way."
Chen Yiling raised her eyebrows, suggesting that Qiao Duo’er should think carefully about her approach.
If she didn’t handle that woman properly, it wouldn’t settle the grudge in her heart. The scare she had from the Poisonous Jinchuang Medicine incident still haunted her to this day.
Not to mention, the loss of half of her accompanying guards.
"We’ll play it by ear. We can’t spoil the old lady’s mood by taking the initiative, can we?"
Qiao Duo’er narrowed her eyes, though if Li Mu’er made the first move, then she would only be defending herself rightfully.
Chen Yiling nodded, "You always think things through."
That way, no one could blame them.
"Weren’t you worried about your man? Let’s go take a look."
Qiao Duo’er took Chen Yiling to the Embroidery Room. Since Chen Yiling also had shares in the Embroidery Room, it was proper for her to take a look.
In two large rooms, everyone was engrossed in their needlework, so quiet that even a needle dropping to the floor could be heard.
"The Embroidery Room is managed really well!" Chen Yiling gave a thumbs up.
With everyone so dedicated, profit was just a matter of time.
Qiao Duo’er was not at all modest, "The main reason is that I’ve picked the right people – all hard-working and capable."
"I just complimented you, and you’re already full of yourself," Chen Yiling chided.
Beside the two large rooms, there was a smaller room. Qiao Duo’er explained, "This room is for those who design the embroidery patterns. Chao Lian and another girl work in here."
Chen Yiling nodded and casually pushed the door open.
When she saw the scene inside, she couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
