Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 814 - 811: Teach Your CEO Husband How to Sweet-Talk His Wife—He Might Just Get the Hang of It Someday

Xiao Qing glanced at the juice in her hand, which was not much different from the plastic-packaged ones sold outside. She shook her head, "You’re lucky, you can eat this and eat that too. For me, it’s a hassle; I need the Empress Dowager’s approval just to go out."

Qin Huaixin’s gossiping side kicked in instantly, "Why is your mother-in-law managing you so strictly?"

"Saying too much ends in tears. In short, she’s afraid I’ll hurt the baby in my belly."

"Pfft~" Qin Huaixin almost spat out water. "You’ve had twins before, now it’s just one baby, no need to worry this much, right?"

Xiao Qing looked at her despondently, "Exactly. Enough about that, why didn’t Shuang’er come with you today?"

"Her? Two days ago, Leng Yixing took her to my mom’s place. She’ll come back after school starts after the New Year."

"That long?"

Qin Huaixin was also gloomy, "It’s all because of my belly. When I give birth, my mom insists on coming over to take care of the baby, saying she doesn’t trust hiring a nanny. It’s really giving me a headache."

"What’s there to be headache about? It’s happiness." Xiao Qing said.

Speaking of happiness, Qin Huaixin leaned in mysteriously and asked in a low voice, "The women of the Empire have been envious of you these last two days. Tsk tsk, your child is already six years old, and President Lu still proposed publicly. How did your icy President husband suddenly have a breakthrough?"

Xiao Qing responded with slightly irritated, "Yeah, maybe he’s the first President in history to propose without a ring or flowers."

"Pfft~ hahahahaha..." Qin Huaixin laughed immodestly. Although she wasn’t that loud, many people around turned their heads toward them.

"Alright, stop laughing."

"Qingqing, I think you should teach your President husband how to coax his wife more; maybe one day he’ll suddenly understand. But what he’s done so far is honestly impressive."

Xiao Qing was well aware of how difficult it was for Lu Jinyang to do this much, so she nodded, "That’s why I didn’t get angry with him over this."

"Mm-hmm, that’s right. So have you picked a date for the wedding?"

"Wedding?" Xiao Qing was taken aback, "We’ve already registered, what do we need a wedding for?"

Qin Huaixin got anxious, "It’s okay if you don’t remember your past, but let me tell you, when you registered, you didn’t even appear for it. It’s one thing if he didn’t bring it up, but now that a proposal has happened, we can’t just let it go, right?"

"Forget it, I don’t want to mess around now. We’ll talk about it later."

Seeing that persuasion wasn’t working, Qin Huaixin had no choice but to sigh silently. Sometimes ceremonies are unnecessary; her happiness is what truly matters.

In the following days, Lu Jinyang resumed his routine of leaving early and returning late. Xiao Qing knew he was preparing to go to the United States.

Lu Jinyang mentioned that Xiao Yiting hadn’t left B City yet; his people hadn’t spotted him leaving his hotel either, which made her even more suspicious of his purpose in coming to B City.

That day, Xiao Qing was playing with the two kids in the yard when Xiao Yiting suddenly arrived, looking rather anxious.

"Uncle, I thought you went back to the United States."

"Things here aren’t settled yet. By the way, is Jinyang at home?" Xiao Yiting stood in the yard, but his gaze was directed inside.

Xiao Qing discreetly pulled the kids behind her, keeping them within her protective range, before replying, "Jinyang has been out discussing business these days. He’ll come back once he’s done; I don’t know his exact return time."
