139: Chapter 139 Who's More Attractive?

After a long time, she said softly:

"Qin Lin, if I really can't get pregnant... will you... think I'm useless?"

Qin Lin cupped her face and looked into her eyes.

"Han Qing, listen to me carefully."

He said word for word, "To me, you are never measured by whether you are useful or useless. You are you, and that is enough."

Han Qing looked at him, and tears welled up again.

But this time, she smiled.

"You..." she said softly.

"You're just good with words."

"Then does Aunt Qing like hearing them?"

Han Qing didn't answer.

She simply stood on her tiptoes and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

"I do, I love hearing them."

Qin Lin smiled.

"Then I'll say them to you every day from now on."

When the two walked out of the Medical Room, the living room was already bustling.

Su Yuran was talking to Li Ying with a sincere expression:

"Congratulations, Li Ying."

"Thank you, Sister Yuran."

Li Ying leaned on the sofa, her hand resting on her lower abdomen, her face glowing with a maternal light.

Even though she had only just become pregnant, she was already beginning to settle into the role.

Lin Wanwan walked over carrying a glass of warm milk:

"Drink some milk, it's good for the fetus."

"Thank you, Wanwan."

Li Ying took the milk and took a sip.

Xu Xue looked at her enviously from the side:

"Sister Li Ying, you're amazing, getting pregnant so quickly."

Li Ying smiled, "It was just good luck."

Han Yurou poked her head out from the ecological box area.

"Sister Li Ying is pregnant too? Then I'll have another little nephew to play with!"

Yu Ling followed by shouting, "I want to play too!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Han Qing stood at the door of the Medical Room, watching this scene.

She still felt a bit bitter in her heart.

But she took a deep breath, walked over, and sat down next to Li Ying.

"Li Ying."

She spoke, her voice calm.

"Congratulations."

Li Ying looked at her, a hint of complex emotion in her eyes.

There was gratitude, guilt, and something else indefinable.

"Sister Han Qing, thank you."

Han Qing shook her head, "No need to thank me, this is a good thing."

She paused and said, "You're pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to your health. If you feel unwell at any time, come find me."

Li Ying looked at her and suddenly reached out, grasping her hand.

"Sister Han Qing, you will have one too. I believe it."

Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"I'll take your word for it."

The two women held hands and smiled at each other.

Qin Lin watched from the side, a sigh of relief in his heart.

At least on the surface, everyone was doing well.

But only Han Qing knew that the thought was still in her mind.

Li Ying was pregnant.

Xu Xue was pregnant.

Yuran and Wanwan were also pregnant.

Only she was still stuck in place.

She looked down at her lower abdomen, which was still as flat as ever.

"It will happen," she said to herself in her heart.

"It definitely will."

But she didn't quite believe that voice herself.

...

The next afternoon.

Qin Lin was in the bedroom looking at a map, studying the next route.

After his Physique improved again, his mental state was surprisingly good; he didn't feel tired even after working for several hours straight.

The effect of "Advanced Energetic" was indeed powerful.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Han Yurou poked half her head in.

"Brother Qin Lin, Sister Yuran asked me to bring you some food."

She was carrying a tray with a bowl of steaming noodles and a small dish of pickles.

Qin Lin smiled, "Come in."

Han Yurou walked in and placed the tray on the table in front of him.

"Sister Wanwan made it; she said you didn't eat much yesterday and need to nourish yourself today."

"Thank Wanwan for me."

"Thank her yourself."

Han Yurou said, but she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

She stood in the bedroom, looking around curiously.

"Wow, Brother Qin Lin, your bedroom is so big."

Han Yurou's eyes lit up.

The bedroom was much larger than her room, with a large bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and an ensuite bathroom.

The quilt on the bed hadn't been folded yet, piled there in a mess.

Han Yurou's gaze fell on the bed.

The sheets were wrinkled, and the pillows were askew, seemingly still carrying some...

She walked over and sniffed lightly.

It smelled like her mother.

And... some other scent.

Han Yurou's face turned slightly red.

She knew what this scent was.

Although she hadn't experienced it, she had seen it in TV dramas.

She bit her lip and stood there, looking at the bed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Her mother slept here last night.

With Brother Qin Lin.

They...

She didn't dare think further.

"Yu Rou?"

Qin Lin's voice came from outside.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing!"

Han Yurou quickly responded and hurried out of the bedroom.

Her face was still a bit red, but she tried to act as if nothing was wrong.

"Brother Qin Lin, your room is so big."

"It's much bigger than mine."

"The Master Bedroom is naturally a bit larger." Qin Lin continued eating his noodles.

"If you like it, you can come over to play often in the future."

Han Yurou was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

"Is that really okay?"

"Of course, it's not like this is some Forbidden Ground."

Han Yurou smiled, smiling very happily.

But she knew in her heart that she wouldn't come often.

Because this was her mother and Brother Qin Lin's place.

What would she, an outsider, be doing here?

"Brother Qin Lin." She sat down beside him.

"Do you think my mother is beautiful?"

Qin Lin was taken aback by this question.

"She is beautiful," he answered truthfully.

"Aunt Qing is very beautiful."

Han Yurou nodded, lost in thought.

"Then between me and my mother, who is more beautiful?"

Qin Lin: "..."

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Han Yurou.

Han Yurou was blinking at him, her expression serious, as if she really wanted to know the answer.

"Yu Rou."

Qin Lin chose his words carefully, "You and Aunt Qing are different types of beauty."

"What types?"

"Aunt Qing is mature beauty, and you are youthful beauty."

"There's no way to compare, and no need to."

Han Yurou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled.

"Then which type does Brother Qin Lin like more?"

Qin Lin: "..."

What was wrong with this child today?

"Yu Rou," he asked tentatively.

"Is something on your mind?"

Han Yurou's smile faltered for a moment.

Then she shook her head, "No. I was just asking randomly."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.

"Brother Qin Lin, how much longer are we going to drive south?"

"I don't know. It could be a long time, or it could be very soon. It depends on the situation."

"Then will we keep driving like this forever?"

"Yes."

Han Yurou was silent for a while.

"That's quite nice then," she said softly, "Just driving like this, being together forever."

Qin Lin looked at her slender back, and his heart suddenly softened.

"Yu Rou," he called her.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for the strawberries you brought yesterday."

Han Yurou turned around and smiled.

"You're welcome. Anyway, the strawberries I pick always end up being eaten by you."

She paused and added, "Even though I sometimes think about not giving them to you anymore, I still end up picking them for you."

Qin Lin laughed.

"Why?"

"Because..." Han Yurou thought for a moment.

"Because you like eating them."

She said it as if it were a matter of course, as if it were the simplest logic in the world.
