Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 286

The door was pushed open, and Qin Shi walked in.

In her panic, Yan Lan slipped and lost her balance, about to fall to the ground.

At that very moment, a large hand swiftly reached out and firmly supported her waist.

Yan Lan was still in shock, her heart pounding. She stammered, "..."

"What did you come in for?"

Her hand instinctively covered the patch of spring light in front of her, and her ears instantly flushed red, as if they had been lightly scorched by flames.

Qin Shi stood still, his expression calm. He struggled to look away from Yan Lan, but the sensation between his fingers lingered, clearly remaining in his palm.

Yan Lan's skin was delicate and smooth, like almond milk, so fair that it almost glowed.

He was also holding a set of Yan Lan's change of underwear, which had been given to him by a servant.

It turned out that Yan Lan had just worked up a sweat and was eager to take a shower, so she asked the servants to bring her clothes.

The servant happened to run into Qin Shi and casually mentioned that pregnant women in their fifth or sixth month of pregnancy are not very agile and it is best to have someone accompany them when taking a bath.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi took the clothes and walked in.

Yan Lan's face turned even redder. She wanted to refuse, but just then, she felt a discomfort and numbness in her ankle.

She gave a soft hum, her beautiful brows furrowed into a knot, and her nose wrinkled slightly.

Qin Shi noticed her unusual behavior and looked down at her feet.

Her slender ankles were slightly swollen, and her skin had a bluish-white tinge.

Yan Lan blushed, subconsciously pulled her foot back, and said softly,

"I'll soak my feet after standing for a long time this afternoon."

Qin Shi had no intention of letting her off so easily. He bent down, gently held her ankle, and placed one of her feet on his knee.

His eyes were focused and serious, as if he were facing an important task.

Yan Lan could feel his fingers gently pressing on her ankle. Although the technique was stiff, the pressure was just right.

Qin Shi recalled the massage techniques for reducing swelling that he had found online, and gently massaged the area while softly giving instructions.

"Don't move, let me massage it for you, it will be fine soon."

The bathroom was extremely quiet. Yan Lan could almost hear her own heartbeat, as if she were holding a small drum in her arms.

"Sister-in-law..."

Qin Shengsheng hopped and skipped into the room like a cheerful little rabbit.

Her face was beaming with excitement. She couldn't wait to tell Yan Lan that she had actually ranked among the top three in the school in this monthly exam!

This was her long-term goal, and she eagerly awaited to see what kind of surprised expression Yan Lan would show.

But as soon as Qin Shengsheng entered the room, she was stunned.

The room was empty, with only a gentle breeze stirring the curtains. She looked around and muttered something in disappointment.

Where is my sister-in-law?

Just as she was about to leave, a faint groan suddenly reached her ears.

The voice was low and carried a hint of restraint; it seemed to be coming from the bathroom.

Qin Shengsheng's curiosity was instantly ignited, and her eyes widened as if she had discovered some major secret.

She cautiously approached the bathroom door and listened intently.

Just then, Qin Shi's voice came from the bathroom, somewhat hoarse.

"Is it comfortable?"

Qin Shengsheng's face instantly turned bright red, her heart raced, and her gossipy eyes were instantly ignited.

Immediately afterwards, the woman let out another muffled groan, her voice tinged with reproach.

"Be gentle... my legs are numb."

Qin Shengsheng's face flushed even more. She couldn't help but cover her ears with her hands and mutter softly.

"In broad daylight, my brother has no self-control at all!"

But it's understandable; after enduring several months, the baby's condition has finally stabilized.

A sly smile crept across her lips.

"Looks like I don't have to worry about my brother and sister-in-law getting a divorce again."

Qin Shengsheng pondered to herself, a sly smile spreading across her face.

She carefully retreated, afraid of being discovered by the two people inside.

After leaving the room, she couldn't wait to tell her mother about this "major discovery".

During dinner, Qin Shengsheng sat at the table, her eyes constantly scanning back and forth between Yan Lan and Qin Shi, a sly smile playing on her lips.

Yan Lan was a little confused by her gaze, and her face flushed slightly, while Qin Shi frowned, clearly sensing that something was wrong with his sister.

Qin Shi finally lost his temper, glared at Qin Shengsheng, and spoke with a hint of sternness.

"If you're not going to eat, then go study earlier. Look at the state you're in."

He had noticed long ago that his mother and sister were looking at him strangely, especially Qin Shengsheng, whose smile was so wide it almost reached her ears, turning her face into a Nike-like expression.

Qin Shengsheng's smile widened even more after being glared at by Qin Shi.

"Brother, you've eaten your fill, but you won't allow others to eat."

She thought to herself, "Brother is so ungrateful!"

Her younger sister went to great lengths to prevent him from being abandoned by his sister-in-law.

Madam Qin coughed softly.

"Sheng Sheng, stop fooling around and eat your food."

"Lanlan, eat more. You're eating for two now."

As she spoke, Madam Qin ladled out a bowl of soup and handed it to Yan Lan.

Yan Lan silently drank her soup, while Qin glanced meaningfully at his son.

"You too, Lanlan is heavily pregnant, shouldn't you be a little more restrained? Don't hurt the baby."

I'll have the family doctor check on Lanlan later.

Yan Lan's face instantly turned bright red, clearly indicating that Madam Qin and Qin Shengsheng had misunderstood something.

She was about to hurriedly explain when Qin Shi leisurely ladled out a bowl of soup, took a sip, and said casually, "I know."

Yan Lan's face turned even redder. She glared fiercely at Qin Shi, cursing inwardly.

"What do you know?!"

Qin Shi's gaze inadvertently swept across the dining table and landed on the empty seat.

His brows furrowed.

"Does Dad often not come home for dinner?"

He used to live away from home, busy with his own career and life, and rarely had the opportunity to have dinner with his family, so he naturally didn't know Shen Yunzhong's schedule.

Since moving back to the mountain villa, he gradually realized that his mother was often alone at dinner, facing a table full of dishes, which seemed particularly lonely.

Qin's mother sat in the main seat with a faint smile on her face, but a hint of loneliness was visible in her eyes.

She gently put down her chopsticks, her voice soft yet tinged with a hint of helplessness.

“Your dad has been busy with work lately, often having to attend social events, and sometimes he doesn’t come home until late at night.”

She paused and added,

"With you guys around, meals are much more lively."

Yan Lan paused in her soup-drinking motion. Madam Qin probably never imagined that Shen Yunzhong might have other women outside.
