113: Chapter 113 She's Going to Try Again

After lunch, Han Qing found an excuse to return to the Medical Room.

She locked the door, sat at her desk, and turned on the computer.

The RV's medical System had a recording function that allowed her to view everyone's health data.

She pulled up her own file and carefully examined every metric.

Blood pressure normal, heart rate normal, blood count normal, hormone levels... also normal.

From a medical standpoint, she was perfectly healthy and met the conditions for pregnancy.

Then why couldn't she get pregnant?

Was the timing wrong?

Or was it... an issue on Qin Lin's end?

No, impossible.

Su Yuran and Lin Wanwan were both pregnant, which meant there was nothing wrong with Qin Lin.

Then it was her problem.

But where was the problem?

Han Qing couldn't figure it out.

Feeling a wave of irritation, she turned off the computer, stood up, and paced around the Medical Room.

Outside the window, sunlight spilled through the clouds, and the ice and snow reflected a blinding light.

The temperature had already risen back to -30°C.

The extreme cold was receding, but no one knew what the next disaster would be.

In this world full of uncertainty, she needed to grasp onto something certain.

Like a child.

Like an irreplaceable position.

"I can't wait any longer," she said to herself.

Tonight.

Just tonight.

She was going to try one more time.

No matter what, she wanted an answer.

...

The atmosphere at dinner was even more harmonious than at lunch.

Xu Xue had completely integrated into the kitchen work.

She and Lin Wanwan worked together in perfect harmony.

One was the head chef and the other the assistant, while Su Yuran was responsible for plating and serving.

Han Yurou and Su Yuling, the two girls of the same age, helped serve the dishes.

They chirped away in whispers, occasionally letting out light laughs.

Watching this scene, Qin Lin felt a strange sense of peace in his heart.

This was his RV, his The Ark, his home.

Six women: two pregnant, four not.

But all were contributing to this home in their own way.

"Dinner's ready!"

Lin Wanwan brought out the last dish.

Today she tried making braised pork; although seasonings were limited, the aroma was still enticing.

Everyone sat around the long table, with Qin Lin sitting in the head seat as usual.

"Wanwan made braised pork today, everyone give it a try."

As Mistress No. 001, Su Yuran naturally presided over the table.

"Xu Xue also helped, she deserves a lot of credit."

Xu Xue smiled bashfully, "I only helped chop the vegetables."

"Chopping is also important. Your knife skills are good; the pieces of meat are uniform in size."

Receiving the praise, Xu Xue's Face turned slightly red.

Han Qing ate silently, her gaze occasionally sweeping over everyone at the table.

Su Yuran was steady and capable, with the air of a hostess.

Lin Wanwan was gentle and considerate, the perfect supportive wife.

Xu Xue was young and beautiful, and she seemed very socially adept.

Han Yurou and Su Yuling were lively and cute, bringing vitality to the RV.

Everyone had their own position.

What about her?

Her position as a doctor was being replaced by the System, and her position as a mother was gradually fading as Yu Rou grew up.

As for her position as a woman... she needed to prove her capability.

Her gaze fell upon Qin Lin.

Qin Lin was discussing tomorrow's schedule with Su Yuran.

Their conversation was natural and fluid, like a couple in perfect sync.

Watching them, Han Qing felt a bit of bitterness in her heart, but mostly anxiety.

After dinner, as per custom, everyone divided the chores.

Lin Wanwan and Xu Xue were responsible for washing dishes, while Han Yurou and Su Yuling wiped the table and swept the floor.

Su Yuran took her younger sister's hand.

"Yuling, let's go back to our room and rest. You've just finished your Recovery, you need more sleep."

"Sis, I don't want to sleep yet..." Su Yuling protested softly.

"Be good."

Su Yuling nodded obediently.

Before leaving, Su Yuran gave Qin Lin a meaningful look.

She tilted her head slightly, gesturing toward Xu Xue, and then winked.

The meaning was obvious.

Take down Xu Xue quickly and complete the mission.

Qin Lin understood her gaze; he felt a bit helpless but also slightly excited.

Su Yuran was truly thinking of him and the whole team.

Instead, he was the one feeling a bit lost.

He had to show his Aura as the Driver.

Otherwise, everything would be taken over by Su Yuran.

Han Yurou was also called back by her mother.

"Yu Rou, you should go to bed early today too," Han Qing said in a calm tone.

"You need to get up early tomorrow to organize the ecological box. Didn't you say you wanted to expand the planting area?"

"But Mom..."

"No buts, go to sleep."

Han Qing's tone brooked no argument.

Pouting, Han Yurou reluctantly returned to Bedroom No. 003.

Before leaving, she stole a glance at Qin Lin, her eyes filled with a bit of grievance.

She actually wanted to stay in the living room a bit longer to talk to Qin Lin.

Because Lin Wanwan got tired easily from her pregnancy, she also went back to Bedroom No. 002 early to rest.

Thus, only three people remained in the living room.

Qin Lin.

Han Qing.

Xu Xue.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Qin Lin sat on the sofa, looking at the two women in front of him, having no idea what to do.

Han Qing sat on the single sofa opposite him, holding a medical magazine, but her eyes weren't on the book at all.

Her gaze flickered between Xu Xue and Qin Lin from time to time, as if she were waiting for something.

Xu Xue sat on the side sofa a bit further from Qin Lin, her head lowered, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

She knew what Su Yuran meant by talking to her today and had prepared herself mentally.

Was she willing?

The answer was yes.

Before, following Su Zhenyun was for money and resources.

Now, following Qin Lin was for survival and safety.

Essentially, there was no difference; it was just a change of person.

Moreover, Qin Lin was young and handsome, and his attitude toward her was gentle.

But with Han Qing present, she was too embarrassed to speak or act.

Xu Xue stole a glance at Han Qing.

This mature and beautiful doctor sat quietly on the other sofa.

She held a medical magazine, but her gaze clearly wasn't focused on the page.

What was she waiting for?

Why hadn't she left yet?

Xu Xue muttered to herself.

Logically, Han Qing should understand the current situation.

Su Yuran had intentionally taken everyone away, leaving her and Qin Lin alone; the meaning was already very clear.

But she just wouldn't leave.

Qin Lin sat on the main sofa, watching the situation become increasingly bizarre.

Although he really wanted to say, "Let's both go together tonight,"

considering Han Qing's need to save Face and that Xu Xue had just arrived, he held back.

There would be plenty of opportunities for a shared bed in the future.

No need to rush.

So he decided to... play dead.

The three of them just sat there in silence.

Time passed minute by minute.

The living room was so quiet that the faint hum of the heating System could be heard.

Qin Lin took out his tablet, pretending to check the System data.

In reality, he was browsing the System Store to see if there were any new items he could use tonight.

Xu Xue became increasingly restless.

She stole several glances at Qin Lin and found that he had no intention of taking the initiative at all.

She looked at Han Qing several times and found that she had no intention of leaving either.

What was this?

The three of them just sitting there?

She thought of Su Yuran's words.

But in this situation, how could Qin Lin approach her?

Did she have to be the one to take the initiative?
