Chapter 174: Meeting Too Early

servant was at a loss for words, taking a while to muster the courage to call out, “Miss”Qin Luoyan remained standing, motionless. She merely turned her head stiffly and glanced at the maid, but that...The night in the mountains seemed to come sooner than elsewhere, perhaps because the dense, lush forest blocked out the sunlight early, even keeping the afterglow of the setting sun outside the woods.

Though the dinner in the mountains was simple, Qin Luoyan didn't know if it was because of Yin Qi, but on a small table there were more than ten side dishes. 。Masters and servants are not allowed to eat at the same table, so Yin Qi's attendants sat with Shi Tou and the old woman at another table. Qin Luo Yan glanced casually; although they were separated tables, the small dishes on that table were all the same. 。This made her view Mr. Zhou's character even more favorably. 。In this time and space, very few people can achieve this level. The concept of hierarchy is deeply ingrained and unshakeable here. 。"Girl, now that you're pregnant, eat more. Don't starve yourself, or this little one will come back to find me when he grows up and settle the score." 。Mr. Zhou's words might not have been pleasant, but the concern behind them was genuine. As he spoke, he also placed a fried small fish in Qin Luoyan's bowl. "This little fish was caught by Shi Tou this morning from the stream. The water there is clear, so the fish are tender and tasty. Eat more of it." 。" Qin Luoyan politely declined and took a few bites of the fish, finding it truly delicious. 。Yin Qi merely smiled faintly, "Luo Yan, Mr. Zhou is a very good person. Just rest assured and stay here. With him around, you'll surely be able to safely give birth to your child." 。"

“Well, thank you>>> 。"No longer anxious and restless, Qin Luoyan's face had improved a lot. Under the candlelight, her skin had a touch of blush, which complemented her black and white eyes. She seemed to be radiant." 。Yin Qi stared at her for a long time, unable to recover. Until Mr. Zhou coughed awkwardly twice, did he retract his gaze and bury his head in his meal. 。"Oh, you kid, why didn't you leave early this morning Just looking at you makes me mad! If it weren't for my years of friendship with your mother, I wouldn't help you clean up this mess you made!" 。It's a shame for Luoyan. She has children now, and even in your current situation, you can't give her a name officially. 。Qin Luo'yan listened to Mr. Zhou's muttering, but she was a little puzzled in her heart. When he said this, she remembered that Yin Qi had used filial piety as an excuse for many years and had never married a wife. It was said that the emperor had tried to arrange marriages for him many times, but he refused them all. Now, from what Mr. Zhou was saying, it seemed that Yin Qi might have something unspeakable. 。However, she knew there were some things she couldn't ask, even if the answers were just lies. 。As expected, Yin Qi gave Zhou a discreet glance, and Zhou immediately changed the subject to the food on the table. 。The temperature in the mountains was a bit chilly. After they finished their meal, dusk had settled completely, and only two lanterns swaying in the courtyard cast a hazy yellow light. 。There was a small step in the yard. Qin Luoyan saw Shi Tou sitting on the steps fiddling with something, so she walked over and sat beside him. 。Shi Tou turned his head and saw her. He grinned at her, "Sister, do you think this grasshopper I made is pretty"Qin Luo Yan glanced at the crisp and lively grasshopper in his hand, nodded, "Pretty" 。This is for the little brother I'm sending you in your tummy. 。He handed over the grasshopper made of woven grass. 。Qin Luoyan was taken aback, catching the grass grasshopper and said in surprise, "Giving this to my little brother in my belly Shítóu is really a good child." 。“

“Hee hee……” Shi Tou smiled awkwardly, reaching out to touch her belly, “I really wish the little brother could come out sooner to play with me. Sister, you wouldn’t believe it, I grew up in this mountain since I was a child and have never been to the outside world. I’ve never played with other children before, not even one friend. If my sister’s little brother comes out, I will definitely be his best friend>>> 。“ When Shítóu spoke, a radiant smile was always on his face. There wasn't the slightest hint of sadness or negative emotion, yet his words brought a touch of bitterness to Qín Luòyān's heart. She found it hard to imagine how Shítóu, growing up in such an environment, could develop such a healthy and sunny disposition She took his hand and placed it on her stomach. Although the baby inside was still too small to feel any movement or existence, she still let him gently touch it. “It will be alright, little one. When you come out, you'll definitely love Shítóu very much.” 。"Really" Shi Tou's eyes were filled with hope. 。Qin Luoyan nodded firmly, “Really!” She and Shi Tou sat on the stone steps slowly chatting. She told Shi Tou many stories from the outside world, and also many fairy tales from modern times. When Shi Tou heard the story of Ugly Duckling finding his mother, he looked very sad. In the end, he even said that he was also an ugly duckling and that one day he would go down the mountain to find his mother. 。They didn't know, in the corner of the yard, Yin Qi stood quietly there, silently watching the scene of the two sitting side by side, listening to Qin LuoYan softly telling a story. 。"You've got a good eye, kid." 。Mr. Zhou stood beside him and suddenly softly said, " 。In the gloom, Yin Qi's lips curled into a smile, but the light was too dim for anyone to see it clearly. Only he knew the bitterness hidden beneath that smile, "She, is very good..." 。"It's a pity…"

It's a pity that their meeting wasn't at the right time. If they had met after he fulfilled his lifelong dream, he would definitely cherish her, protect her, and live with her forever. Even if it was what she said, to be together for life, he could do it for her.

It's a pity... they met too early. 。Mr. Zhou looked at him with bewilderment, but he just shook his head and didn't say much. 。Mr. Zhou sighed and did not ask any further questions. He then changed the subject, saying, "How is your plan going" "Everything is still going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll know the result in three years." 。As for this question, Yin Qi didn't refuse to answer. 。"Three years, it's neither long nor short." 。You can rest assured that before your actions, I will definitely make sure all the logistical preparations are in place. 。Mr. Zhou patted him on the shoulder and turned to say, "Well, it's getting cold. Let's head back to our rooms to rest." 。" Yin Qi nodded, but his feet didn't move. He stared intently at Qin LuoYan, the pain and tenderness on his face unnoticed even by himself " 。Why, why would their meeting happen at this time Three years later would be so much betterAt some point, the wind picked up. Qin Luoyan discovered that Shi Tou had fallen asleep leaning against her shoulder while listening to the story. She chuckled and shook her head, preparing to carry him back to the room, but suddenly darkness fell before her. 。If you find "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" good, please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
