Tuoba Ling was tall, and Qin Yanning looked particularly petite nestled in his arms.
Qin Yanning leaned on Tuoba Ling's shoulder and touched her slightly bulging belly.
Feeling the vigorous vitality of the baby in her belly, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
Some time ago, the imperial physician had diagnosed that she was pregnant with more than one baby.
Tuoba Ling was ecstatic when he heard the news. He did not believe in gods or Buddhas, but he felt that Qin Yanning was a gift from God to him.
Seeing Qin Yanning smile, Tuoba Ling's serious face also smiled: "Ningning must have thought of something interesting. She is laughing so happily."
Qin Yanning shook his head and whispered in Tuoba Ling's ear: "I'm thinking, after the baby in my belly is born, if it clings to A Ling as its father to hold it, what will A Ling do?"
Tuoba Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he thought of the scene Qin Yanning described, his whole heart softened.
"Don't worry, I'll hold you in my left hand and the children in my right hand."
Before meeting Qin Yanning, he had never felt the warmth of home. Now he has a wife and a son, and he doesn't want to owe either of them.
The mountain road was winding, and Tuoba Ling took every step very steadily.
Feeling the temperature drop, Qin Yanning asked softly, "Are we almost there?"
Tuoba Ling nodded and looked towards the woods in front of him.
A gust of wind came, blowing the trees that had not yet grown green leaves. He reached out and put the hat on Qin Yanning's cloak on him.
"It should be soon. Father and the others are always cautious. Let's wait here."
"Then put me down. The road here is relatively smooth, so you don't need to hold me all the time. I don't feel tired after walking such a long distance."
As Qin Yanning spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from Tuoba Ling's forehead. This man had been holding her for at least an hour, and he hadn't even been breathing irregularly.
"If I hold Ningning in my arms, I won't feel tired even if I walk for the rest of my life."
The attendants were left halfway up the mountain, with no one around. Tuoba Ling was afraid that if he said something, Qin Yanning would blame him.
Qin Yanning's cheeks turned red when she heard the love words from this man who used to only know how to kill and fight.
Tuoba Ling pinched Qin Yanning's cheek and picked up the bone flute in his hand.
A short whistle sounded, echoing among the trees.
Qin Yanning looked at the bone flute in Tuoba Ling's hand with some curiosity. The flute looked roughly made and was definitely not something he got after returning to the palace.
Sensing Qin Yanning's curiosity, Tuoba Ling explained, "Before returning to the palace, I specially hunted a mountain deer and used its bones to make this bone flute. This is a signal between me and my father and the others."
As soon as Tuoba Ling finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woods. Qin Yanning looked over and saw only a few gray shadows.
The shadow was moving extremely fast, but it stopped not far from the two of them.
When the shadows stopped, Qin Yanning realized that they were several gray wolves.
The two men and several wolves were staring at each other from a distance of more than ten meters. After confirming that the person coming was Tuoba Ling, the leading wolf became visibly excited and turned around and howled towards the woods.
Soon, there were noises coming from the woods.
Hundreds of wolves stopped in front of the two of them. Even with Tuoba Ling by his side, Qin Yanning still couldn't help feeling a little scared.
A-Lian in the consciousness space screamed in shock: "Host, your man is the Wolf King."
Qin Yanning held his forehead with his hand. "You chose this little world. Isn't it a little too late for you to ask me now?"
