156: Chapter 156 7 Beauties

Su Yuran wore a light blue slip dress that reached her calves, revealing her fair ankles.

Her long hair was loose, and with light makeup on her face, she exuded an elegant temperament.

She was leaning against the railing, chatting with Li Ying, occasionally turning to look at Qin Lin with a gentle smile.

Lin Wanwan sat on another lounge chair, wearing a loose beige cotton-linen dress.

A serene smile played on her lips as she occasionally whispered a few words to Xu Xue beside her.

Xu Xue wore a pale pink floral dress with a bow tied at the neckline, looking playful and cute.

Although she was also pregnant, her figure remained slender.

She listened intently to Lin Wanwan, nodding from time to time, occasionally casting a shy glance toward Qin Lin.

Li Ying was dressed exceptionally boldly today.

A black deep-V one-piece swimsuit, with only a thin, gossamer-like gauze wrap draped over her, making her graceful figure faintly visible.

Wearing sunglasses, she lay on a lounge chair by the pool with her long legs crossed.

Her toes were painted with bright red nail polish, and she exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.

Han Qing wore a dark green form-fitting dress.

The dress perfectly outlined her mature curves, and the neckline was designed to reveal her collarbone just right without being too revealing.

Wearing sunglasses, she lay on the lounge chair, appearing to be sunbathing.

But Qin Lin noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind.

Han Yurou wore a white bikini with a semi-transparent gauze cover-up over it, her youthful figure fully on display.

She was playing in the water by the pool with Su Yuling, her laughter as crisp as silver bells.

Water splashed, landing on her smooth skin and sparkling in the sunlight.

Su Yuling wore a light yellow one-piece swimsuit; the style was relatively conservative, but it won out with its youthful cuteness.

She was originally a bit shy and didn't dare to appear before everyone dressed like this.

But after being pulled into the water by Han Yurou, she gradually let loose.

At this moment, she was laughing and splashing water on Han Yurou, the two young girls messing around together.

Qin Lin's gaze swept over everyone, and a strange sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

All of these were his.

No matter the style.

Elegant, gentle, youthful, mature, charming, cute.

He had them all.

He suddenly understood why everyone had come to him to buy clothes these past few days.

Su Yuran asked for a few new dresses, saying she wanted to change her style.

Lin Wanwan asked for a few loose maternity outfits, but the styles were clearly better-looking than before.

Xu Xue asked for a few dresses and specifically asked him what colors he liked.

Li Ying directly asked for several swimsuits and even asked him which one looked good.

Han Qing asked for two new dresses, one dark green and one champagne-colored.

Han Yurou asked for several bikinis, saying she wanted to swim.

Su Yuling also followed her sister in asking for a few swimsuits, although she chose relatively conservative styles.

It turned out it was all for today.

Qin Lin couldn't help but smile.

These women...

“Brother Qin Lin, what are you smiling at all by yourself?”

Li Ying's voice came from the side.

Qin Lin turned his head and saw that she had walked over to him at some point, looking down at him.

The sunlight shone from behind her, outlining a perfect silhouette through that thin gauze.

“Nothing, I just feel... quite happy.”

Li Ying smiled and sat down on the lounge chair next to him.

“Happy? Is it because you see so many beauties?”

“Partly,” Qin Lin admitted frankly.

Li Ying raised an eyebrow. “And the other part?”

Qin Lin thought for a moment. “Because everyone is still here.”

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her smile deepened.

“That's true. In the apocalypse, being able to live and be together is the greatest happiness.”

The two sat quietly, watching the lively scene before them.

Su Yuran walked over and sat down next to Li Ying.

“What are you chatting about?”

“About happiness.”

Su Yuran smiled and looked at Qin Lin.

“Are you happy?”

Qin Lin nodded.

“That's good. You should stay happy forever.”

Qin Lin took her hand.

“I will.”

After a while, Qin Lin stood up.

“You guys chat, I'm going to the Drivers Cabin to take a look.”

“To the Drivers Cabin again?” Li Ying teased him. “Instead of looking at so many beauties, you're going to look at instrument panels?”

Qin Lin also laughed.

“Looking at too many makes me dizzy; I need a break.”

He turned and left, heading down the stairs to the first floor.

Behind him, Su Yuran and Li Ying looked at each other and both smiled.

After Qin Lin left, the atmosphere on the Viewing Platform relaxed a lot.

Han Yurou climbed out of the pool and dried her hair with a towel.

Her gaze swept across the platform, and not seeing Qin Lin, she felt a bit disappointed.

“Sister Yu Rou, what are you looking for?”

Su Yuling also climbed up and asked curiously.

“Nothing.”

Han Yurou smiled.

“Just seeing what everyone is doing.”

She walked over to her mother and sat on the lounge chair next to her.

“Mom, you've been lying here all this time. Why don't you go down and swim for a bit?”

Han Qing snapped out of it and took off her sunglasses.

“No, I'm a bit tired.”

Han Yurou looked at her mother and noticed her eyes were wandering, clearly thinking about something else.

“Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Han Qing looked at her daughter, hesitating.

“Nothing.”

Han Yurou leaned in close and lowered her voice.

“Are you thinking about what I said last night?”

Han Qing's body stiffened slightly.

Han Yurou smiled, her smile a bit mischievous.

“Mom, you don't have to answer, I already know.”

Han Qing looked at her, not knowing what to say.

Han Yurou didn't press further, just leaned back on the lounge chair and closed her eyes to sunbathe.

After a while, she suddenly stood up.

“I'm going to check the ecological box.”

Han Qing nodded, not thinking much of it.

Han Yurou turned and left with a light step.

Li Ying watched her back, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

“Yuran, did you see that?”

Su Yuran followed her gaze and also smiled.

“I saw.”

“That girl is getting more and more proactive.”

“Let her be; it's an inevitable thing sooner or later anyway.”

Li Ying looked at her. “Are you really not afraid of a mess?”

Su Yuran shook her head.

“What mess? It's quite harmonious.”

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

“Yuran, you really are...”

“Am what?”

“A tough one, and a sensible one.”

Su Yuran smiled and didn't speak.

Her gaze fell on her sister.

Su Yuling was sitting by the pool with her feet in the water, but her gaze occasionally flickered toward the stairs.

That was the direction Qin Lin had left in.

Su Yuran sighed in her heart.

This girl clearly wanted to go too, but didn't dare to move.

Compared to Han Yurou, she was far too reserved.

“Yuling, do you want to go check the ecological box too?”

Su Yuling was startled, and then her face turned red.

“Sister, I...”

“If you want to go, then go. There's no need to be embarrassed.”

Su Yuling lowered her head and said softly:

“But... Sister Yu Rou already went, I... I think I'll pass.”

Su Yuran smiled.

“Silly girl, in this kind of thing, what does it matter who goes first or last?”

Su Yuling bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds.

But in the end, she still shook her head.

“Forget it, I... I'll stay a bit longer.”

Su Yuran looked at her and didn't try to persuade her further.

Some things require taking that step oneself.

Others cannot help.

She turned her head to look at Han Qing.

Han Qing was still lying there, wearing her sunglasses, motionless.

But Su Yuran knew she wasn't asleep.

Because her hand was tightly clutching the corner of her dress.

Han Qing was indeed not asleep.

Her mind was filled with the words her daughter had said last night.

“Isn't it the same whether I'm pregnant or you are?”
