Chapter 453 - Another Trouble
Yao Ying had finally gotten a result from the investigation of that 'Wu' token... The symbol was owned by a powerful family from the Qin Kingdom, however, they were quite mysterious existence even in the Qin Kingdom so it was hard to find any information about them which made them feel even more curious about that family.
Why were they being so mysterious? Was that man someone from the 'Wu' family? If he was from the 'Wu' family, his background must have been very powerful as well.
The funny thing was they were able to find out that this 'Wu' family was actually a powerful backer of a person whose name was Bai Bing Wen. Who else would that be? This connection seemed to be too coincidence ah~! All of them seemed to be connected in a certain weird way.
Yao Ying sighed, wondering why they kept getting entangled with people from the Qin Kingdom after the matter from the Han Kingdom had finished. It seemed like they were being forced to have an adventure around the world which would be fun if it was for holiday, but too bad, they had those important matters to attend to.
It was just like in the Han Kingdom... They were wasting so many times just to take care of Xiao Fang and Yao Ling's matter and in the end, they only had several days of sightseeing opportunity. Oh well... at least, it was better than nothing.
He felt a certain familiarity between him and those people from the Qin Kingdom, but not only that, the person who was targeting Yao Ling was also from that kingdom. He felt curious about the reason behind the familiarity that he felt --- was he actually a Qin people or what?
Yao Ying sighed when he thought all of that, not to mention, thinking too hard gave him a real headache. It seemed like his past was a bit tricky...
The truth started to come out slowly. He had never been afraid to find out about his past before, however, once it was getting closer to the truth, he became hesitant and... afraid as well. Was it really worth it to remember about his past? There was a certain resistant in his heart but his curiosity got the better of him.
He had to know... for the sake of a peaceful life with his family.
Somehow, he knew that sooner or later, they would need to go to the Qin Kingdom to check things out and find out the truth once for all. However, he was concerned about Yao Ling's pregnancy --- it wasn't suitable for her to make a long journey so they couldn't go even though he had wanted to do it as soon as possible. In the end, he could only postpone everything. It wouldn't be too late if they went there right after the baby was born.
At the very least, everything would have already been really stable in their life. They were still wary of the person that was targeting Yao Ling's baby at this moment. Even though he knew that they had successfully misled them, but well... anything could happen. It was better to be safe than sorry later.
Yao Ling thought of the same thing as him --- she would go with him right after the baby was born. Regarding the baby, she would make the necessary arrangement when the time came. After all, some of the plans that they had planned so far needed to be changed over and over again due to unforeseen circumstances.
It was better for them to just go with the flow and think about a suitable plan at that moment.
Yao Ling had to pretend that she wasn't pregnant and fortunately, her stomach wasn't that big even when she was already in the fourth month of the pregnancy so no one noticed the difference in her body. No vomiting or weird habit as well... Thus, she looked pretty normal from other people's views.
Bai Bing Wen's people were told to check on her whether the baby was really gone or not. Just to do a double-check, just in case the couple was lucky or clever enough to cover up everything. Yao Ling was safe from those people because of her small tummy and also, the fact that they covered it up really well.
They were fortunate that Yao Ling had good medical skill so they didn't need to call a doctor to check on her condition and the baby inside her womb every once in a while. Whatever medicine that they wanted to buy, they bought it secretly. Thus, they could cheat Bai Bing Wen's people this way.
Bai Bing Wen's people quickly left after thinking that the baby was really gone so she got a peaceful journey throughout the rest of the pregnancy.
However... there was a problem when the pregnancy had reached five-month-old. This matter didn't include that Bai Bing Wen, fortunately... However, it was still a major problem to the married couple's relationship.
Yao Ying and Yao Ling had an agreement beforehand that they would have a date once in a while so they could deepen their relationship and relieve themselves from the stress of their works. Wang Luo Hai understood their intention and didn't oppose it. He was happy when they were in a good relationship as well.
That day, they were having a casual date late at night. They went to a crowded market and there was an annual celebration being held there. It was the same celebration that was held when the first time they came to An Yang City and met Wang Luo Hai.
It was already one year and they could enjoy the amorous atmosphere better than back then. After all, they weren't as homeless and poor as before. They didn't need to be in a hurry to find an inn to stay. Somehow, it felt like it had happened a long time ago.
Yao Ying asked her softly, "Where do you want to go? Remember that you shouldn't tire yourself! Don't forget about 'it'!" He gave her a hint about what he actually wanted to say.
Both of them knew what Yao Ying was talking about. Yao Ling nodded her head and answered, "I know... I know... I won't tire myself... Let me take a look around first!"
After that, she found something that caught her eyes. Yao Ling grinned while pointing at a certain direction and said, "I see a street performance there... Why don't we go and take a look at that?"
Yao Ying saw that there was a crowd there and frowned. "It's so crowded. What if something happens?" He asked worriedly.
It was rare for Yao Ling to see such a street performance, thus, she insisted to go there. "It should be fine ah~! You are here so you can protect me from harm, right?" She fawned at him with a wicked smile which melted Yao Ying's defense. The woman really knew how to handle him ah~!
Yao Ying looked at the woman who had already clever enough to use her charm helplessly.
"Fine..." Yao Ying finally agreed. However, he let a few of their shadow guards to protect Yao Ling secretly --- just in case they were accidentally being separated.
