Zhou Jing'an sighed softly, pulled her cloak up gently to cover her round belly, and stroked it gently.

He said half-sighingly, "It's really terrifying. Really, we don't want a second one."

Jiang Ling lowered her eyes, touched her belly, and whispered, "That's right, it really made me suffer."

Zhou Jing'an took her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, with apology and tenderness in his eyes.

This was the scene Yin Jie saw when he walked over.

The handsome young master Zhou, who was decisive and cold-hearted outside, was now gently kissing the woman's hand, his eyes full of tenderness, staring intently at the person in front of him, as if there was no room for anyone else.

The woman he was looking at had a faint smile on her face, and her bulging belly showed that she was about to become a mother. Even her eyebrows seemed to become soft, but her eyes were always bright, as if they contained thousands of stars. Whoever she looked at would be covered in starlight.

Under the cover of night, even the deep darkness and the candlelight in the stone lamp next to them complement the two of them, as if telling the world all the time how perfect a match they are.

Yin Jie stood there in a daze, staring at the two of them, forgetting to react for a moment.

Jiang Ling was the first to notice him. Turning his head, he saw that the unruly young man looked a little dazed.

Zhou Jing'an then turned his head, and the tenderness in his eyes gradually faded, leaving only a dark indifference.

"Brother Yin, what brings you here?" he asked.

Jiang Ling wanted to break free, after all, it was not nice to pull and tug in front of the guests. After struggling twice, she couldn't get her hands free, so she smiled helplessly and let him do it.

Yin Jie clasped his fists and saluted. When he lowered his eyes, they fell on their clasped hands, then he quickly looked away.

"I have something to ask Master Zhou."

It was only then that the two realized they had walked to Xibaoxuan.

Yin Jie continued, "I want to ask what we should do in the next few days. We can't waste time."

You can't just sit idle while waiting for the title of Fengyu and the reward.

"Also, if you want to practice martial arts, I wonder if it's convenient in the mansion."

Zhou Jing'an replied gently, "The Emperor has not yet made a decision. You can take this opportunity to explore the capital. If you want to practice martial arts, there is a training ground in the northwest of the palace. If you don't mind, you and Brother Qi can practice martial arts here. If you need anything else for martial arts training, you can ask Ye Song for it."

Yin Jie nodded to show that he understood.

Just as he was about to bow and leave, Zhou Jing'an spoke again, "Brother Yin, do you have a sweetheart? If you trust my wife, you can ask Ling'er to help you arrange it. She likes to be a matchmaker."

Jiang Ling was a little confused as to why he suddenly offered her the job, but she didn't object. She really liked him, but she hadn't successfully introduced him to a couple yet!

So she smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you have a sweetheart, I can ask for you. If not, I can also help you find out. There are many beautiful and intelligent women in the capital."

Yin Jie raised his eyes, looked at her smiling face, then turned to look at Zhou Jingan, clasped his fists and said, "Don't bother me, Princess."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhou Jing'an looked at his back with a dark look in his eyes.

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Jiang Ling asked him, "Could it be that you admire him so much that you want to take him in as your apprentice?"

She laughed and said, "I don't need a master to learn Chengdu. I guess your dream is going to be shattered."

Zhou Jingan calmed down and pulled her back, "It was just that we mentioned this at the dinner table, and I wanted to do you a favor."

"Do favors?" Jiang Ling shook her head in disbelief. "You're not the type to do favors."

Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. He looked at her curious gaze and remained silent for a long time before finally saying with a smile, "Nothing, just a few words of idle chatter."

About Yin Jie......

He was just guessing, and although it made him very uncomfortable, he didn't do anything inappropriate.

This matter had nothing to do with Jiang Ling, so he didn't need to tell her about it to make her worry, which would only make her uncomfortable.

Besides, even if Yin Jie was really bold enough to have any ideas about Jiang Ling...

Zhou Jing'an chuckled, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination.

He was absolutely certain that Jiang Ling only had him in her heart, and she would never hesitate because of others, nor would she abandon him and choose someone else.

Zhou Jing'an wasn't worried at all.

He is Ling'er's husband, so what else is there to be worried about?
