"Hmph, I don't believe it." Yun Qingran shook her head.
"Then what will it take for you to believe I miss you?" Jun Molin smiled.
"Hmm, I haven't thought of a way to verify it yet. I'll verify it when I think of one later," Yun Qingran said with a cheeky smile.
Jun Molin shook his head. She was always so quirky and adorable.
"Jun Molin, I heard from Pei Chen that something happened in Yao County," Yun Qingran asked Jun Molin.
"I came here today not only because I missed you, but also to tell you about this matter. The situation in Yao County has changed, and I need to go there in person." Jun Molin frowned when he mentioned Yao County.
"Okay, it's alright, you go ahead. I'll take good care of Yan Yan and An An." Yun Qingran nodded.
National affairs are more important than personal feelings!
"Hmph, you agreed so readily, aren't you going to miss me?" Jun Molin looked at Yun Qingran with resentment.
She seemed different from other women. Other women only had their husbands in their hearts, but she seemed to have many, many things in her heart, and she was just one of them.
However, I love her just the way she is! Perhaps it's because she's extraordinary that I fell in love with her!
Yun Qingran immediately hugged Jun Molin, "Ahhhhh, Jun Molin, why did you go to Yao County? I can't bear to leave you!"
Jun Molin: ...Could the acting be any more fake?
The two of them bickered and teased each other. After they finished, Jun Molin said seriously, "When I come back, I will ask my father for a decree to grant us a marriage."
"Ah, so fast?" Yun Qingran was a little scared.
She's only in her early twenties. In the 21st century, girls in their early twenties are still in college, while she's about to get married.
"Getting married is just to give us a formal status; otherwise, having us together all the time wouldn't be good for your reputation. I promise you, after we're married, you'll be just as free as you are now. You can do whatever you want, and I'll support you both materially and emotionally," Jun Molin said earnestly, looking at Yun Qingran with each word of his promise.
"Okay." Yun Qingran smiled brightly and agreed. Anyway, he had written a guarantee that he would only want her for the rest of his life, and if he cheated on her, she could divorce him, and he would leave with nothing.
Seeing Yun Qingran agree to marry him, Jun Molin burst into laughter. This was the first time in his life he had laughed so unrestrainedly. He was truly overjoyed!
Infected by his laughter, Yun Qingran also smiled happily, and the two hugged each other and laughed heartily.
As they laughed, their expressions gradually turned somewhat mischievous.
"What do you want to do?" Yun Qingran asked Jun Molin, her hands clasped over her chest.
"Yes." Jun Molin's purple eyes were filled with passion. He pulled the blanket over both of them.

When Yun Qingran woke up the next morning, she touched the side of her bed, and sure enough, no one was there again. It felt like she was having a secret rendezvous with a lover, only to have him leave at dawn.
\( ?ω ?)/
I got out of bed, washed up, and went out. In the courtyard, I met Zhao Shi playing games with Jun Yan Yan and An An. The three of them were laughing happily.
"Grandmother," Yun Qingran called out to Zhao Shi first.
"Ranran, why didn't you sleep a little longer? You got up so early." Zhao felt sorry for her granddaughter, who was very busy every day.
"I've had enough sleep," Yun Qingran replied with a smile.
"Mother!" Jun Yanyan and Jun An'an, the two little ones, ran over and called out in their sweet, soft voices.
"Yan Yan, An An, did you sleep well with your great-grandmother last night?" Yun Qingran squatted down, stroked the two children's heads, and asked in a low voice.
"Good boy/girl," the two little ones answered in unison.
"Good, that's good." Yun Qingran gently pinched their cheeks. "Then you can continue playing with your great-grandmother. Mother has something to do and needs to go out for a while."
Yun Qingran felt at ease with Zhao Shi taking care of the child. Although Zhao Shi was an elderly woman, she was clean in taking care of the child, and she would never do things like chewing food for the child or using her own chopsticks to pick up food for the child.
It's a bit of spoiling the kids, but Yan Yan and An An are so sensible that they need a little pampering to help them regain the liveliness and cheerfulness that children should have.
"Okay, Mother, take care." The two children waved to Yun Qingran.
"Okay." Yun Qingran waved to them and then left.
"Yan Yan, An An, come on, let's continue playing games." Zhao tossed the football in her hand and then kicked it into the hole in the frame.
The Chinese men's national football team watched and started cursing!
"Here we are, Great-Grandmother!" The two children ran and jumped to chase after the football.
Watching her two children running and playing happily, Zhao felt joyful too. Moreover, after taking care of the children, her back and legs no longer ached, and she was less out of breath when walking! She was full of energy!
After leaving the Zhen'an Marquis's residence, Yun Qingran went to the post station to find Prime Minister Luo.
Upon arriving at the inn, by sheer coincidence, I ran into Yun Xiyue.
Yun Xiyue was followed by several maids from Southern Chu. Although her belly was not yet showing, she held one hand on her lower back and the other hand on her belly, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was pregnant.
Yun Qingran ignored her and walked straight past her.
"Ranran," Yun Xiyue called out to her.
"What?" Yun Qingran asked impatiently.
“We’re sisters, we should say hello if we run into each other,” Yun Xiyue said smugly, her hand constantly touching her belly.
"Stop touching it. What's there to touch on your flat stomach? Besides, pregnant women shouldn't touch their bellies, especially not like you are, touching them in circles. Otherwise, when the baby grows up, the baby in the belly will move around following your hand, which can easily cause the umbilical cord to wrap around its neck."
"You vicious woman, how dare you curse my child!" Yun Xiyue immediately raised her hand, pointing at Yun Qingran and shouting angrily.
Yun Qingran: The expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
"Then keep touching me." Yun Qingran was too lazy to argue with her.
"It's none of your business whether I touch it or not," Yun Xiyue said angrily, but she didn't touch it again. She was also a little afraid that touching her belly might really cause the baby's umbilical cord to wrap around its neck.
If it weren't for her upbringing, Yun Qingran would have really wanted to roll her eyes at her.
Just as Yun Qingran was about to leave, Yun Xiyue called her back and said smugly, "Yun Qingran, are you jealous?"
Yun Qingran looked at her with a puzzled expression, her head full of question marks.
"His Majesty has already sent someone to Southern Chu to inform the Chu Emperor about this matter. Soon, I will marry Prince Ye and become his principal wife, and later the Empress of Southern Chu." Yun Xiyue spread her arms wide, as if she had already become the Empress of Southern Chu, and the phoenix had descended upon Southern Chu.
The maids behind her stood there, their disdain undisguised. How dare a woman who was pregnant out of wedlock, who didn't know how to behave, and whose status wasn't high, covet the position of Empress of Southern Chu?
"Congratulations, congratulations." Yun Qingran forced a smile, cupped her hands in congratulations, and then left. Talking to someone like that was a complete waste of time.
"This bitch doesn't believe me? Hmph, one day I will definitely sit on the throne of the Southern Chu Empress. Then I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy." Yun Xiyue clenched her fists and secretly vowed.
