Chapter 825: Chapter 828: Worthy of the Name

Qin Longyun said indifferently, "Do you know that in the latter stages of pregnancy, it’s always possible that you could go into labor at any time? If you’re too far away from home, you and the child will both suffer."
He had her best interests at heart in everything, yet she didn’t take him seriously.
Chen Yiling obediently nodded, her head almost touching her belly.
She swore to herself that she truly understood her mistake.
From now on, even if Qin Longyun bullied her, she couldn’t resort to using poison that would affect his handsome face.
Otherwise, looking at that weird face every day, she even felt sorry for herself.
Seeing that Chen Yiling sincerely regretted her actions, Qin Longyun no longer dwelled on it. After all, she was pregnant now, wasn’t she?
"I haven’t hit or scolded you, so stop hanging your head. Otherwise, people might think that I’m bullying you."
Qin Longyun wanted to rub Chen Yiling’s head, but seeing the color on his hands, he immediately gave up the idea and withdrew his hand.
Medicine is always somewhat toxic. A strong man like him could handle a bit, but it wasn’t necessarily the same for Chen Yiling and the little thing in her belly, so it was better to be cautious.
If anything went wrong, it would be a lifelong pain for him.
Chen Yiling stole a glance at Qin Longyun: "You really aren’t mad at me?"
"I’m keeping a tab on it for now, we’ll talk about it later."
Qin Longyun said mischievously, knowing that making her stay in bed might be the only way to keep her in line.
Chen Yiling blushed: "I don’t want to deal with you, pervert!"
No sooner had she said this than Chen Yiling laughed. Right now, Qin Longyun really was a pervert, one whose color even changed!
Qin Longyun gritted his teeth in secret. It really was ’pregnancy brain’ that lasted for three years, and all he could do was hope those three years would pass quickly.
Upon leaving the Government Office, Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but chuckle.
It seemed that only Chen Yiling could cause such a big fuss for Lord Qin, because those who are loved are often fearless.
"I hope Ling’er won’t be scared when she sees Qin Longyun turn purple or blue," Qiao Duo’er raised her eyebrows.
Especially when she woke up in the morning; that might be quite a shock.
Tan Zhenghong completely agreed with Duo’er’s thoughts, "But she couldn’t blame anyone else; she had to bear the consequences of the seeds she sowed for herself."
"I think it’s all Second Brother Luo’s fault. If his poison turned people into a seven-color display, it wouldn’t be so frightening."
Qiao Duo’er suddenly had a whimsical thought. In her imagination, a rainbow person would indeed look very pretty.
"If the colors aren’t matched well, you might look even more like a demon, and you could be burned at the stake," Tan Zhenghong dampened Qiao Duo’er’s enthusiasm.
The only thing he could think of was like the swatches used in the market for buying household goods, where so many colors mixed together made it impossible to look directly at them.
Or, thinking about the water an artist uses to rinse their brushes might also do.
Qiao Duo’er shivered: "Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s hurry to the Bai Family!"
With Bai Yifan gone to Beijiang, the Old lady Bai must be feeling uneasy, and their visit would be just in time to comfort her.
Once they arrived at the Bai Family, Qiao Duo’er noticed that there was also a guest at the house.
The guest was an old lady who seemed to be about the same age as Old lady Bai, probably one of her close friends.
It seemed she hadn’t picked the best time for her visit today.
Old lady Bai introduced the guest: "She is the second grandmother from the Bai Mansion, one of our own. Don’t be shy, now take a seat."
The second grandmother of the Quan Clan had given birth to the second young master Bai Anshun years ago. After partitioning the family assets, she had lived with her son’s family.
However, they seldom interacted on regular days, and it was curious that she had suddenly come over today.
Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong understood and politely greeted her, "Good day, second grandmother."
But the Quan Clan’s matriarch didn’t like this title and merely responded with a faint acknowledgment.
