Chapter 70 What did Grandma just say to you?
"What, can't I even come to see my granddaughter-in-law?"
Madam Jin snorted, "Besides, if I told you, would you let me come?"
Seeing him return to greet his family, Sang Qian said to Madam Jin, "Grandma, please sit for a while, I'll go check on the kitchen."
Madam Jin said, "Alright, go ahead."
Sang Qian got up and walked towards the kitchen. Before she even reached the kitchen door, her wrist was grabbed by someone.
Jin Changyu pulled her to a corner and explained in a low voice, "I didn't call Grandma over, and I didn't know she would come today."
"Okay, I understand."
Sang Qian nodded and turned to leave. Jin Changyu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and gently put his arm around her waist before pulling her back into his arms. "Are you... angry?"
He lowered his head and stared intently at her expression.
He still feels lingering fear about the time he made her cry when he went home last time, and he's afraid she'll be unhappy if she sees his family.
"No." Sang Qian pulled away his large hand from her waist. "I know you didn't call them, and I'm not angry."
She wasn't against Old Madam Jin and Jin Ningxi in the first place; her only concern was that if they stayed here too long, they would see through her fake marital relationship with Jin Changyu.
"Oh, by the way, Grandma brought a lot of gifts today." She whispered to Jin Changyu, "I can't accept these. After they leave, you can take them to your room."
“What Grandma gave you is yours. What would it mean if I kept it?”
Sang Qian glared at him, then lowered her voice, "They don't know our relationship, but don't you know it yourself?"
"She gave it to her granddaughter-in-law, not me, right?"
Jin Changyu blurted out, "Yes, it is."
Sang Qian pursed her lips and looked at him with a stern face.
Jin Changyu added, "What I mean is, in Grandma's eyes, you are already one, so you should just accept the things she gives you."
"If you keep doing this, I'm really going to get angry."
Seeing her face darken, Jin Changyu had no choice but to go along with her, "Okay, okay, I'll take it for now, alright?"
Sang Qian was finally satisfied. "Go and keep Grandma company for a while. I'll go check on the kitchen."
After sending the person away to attend to others, Sang Qian went into the kitchen.

When they sat down to eat, Jin Ningxi was the one who enjoyed it the most, constantly praising Aunt Li's cooking skills.
"Sister-in-law, since you're pregnant and bored at home anyway, I'll come over to keep you company often and maybe even get a free meal, okay?"
Sang Qian choked on her water after taking a sip.
"Cough cough..."
Jin Changyu quickly handed her a napkin, then looked at Jin Ningxi with a stern face, "If you're too free lately, I'll sign you up for a few more business courses."
"Brother, do you have any conscience? I only thought of coming over to take care of your wife because I saw that you were busy with work. You really don't know what's good for you."
"Thank you, but no need."
Jin Changyu gently patted Sang Qian's back, "My wife, I can take good care of myself."
"Don't bother your sister-in-law if you have nothing to do."
"Even my sister-in-law didn't refuse, so why are you being so domineering and not letting me come?" Jin Ningxi looked at Sang Qian defiantly. "Sister-in-law, tell me, if I come, will you welcome me or not?"
"Why did you still..."
Seeing that the man next to her was about to speak, Sang Qian quickly and secretly tugged at his sleeve, and the latter immediately shut up.
"Of course you're welcome." Sang Qian smiled at Jin Ningxi. "You can come anytime you want."
Jin Ningxi raised her chin triumphantly and looked at Jin Changyu, "Did you hear that? My sister-in-law said she can come anytime."
Jin Changyu served food to Sang Qian, too lazy to pay her any attention.
Old Madam Jin's gaze shifted between him and Sang Qian before she spoke:
"Speaking of which, Changyu's birthday is in a week. What are your plans for celebrating?"
"Yes, yes, that day happened to be a weekend. Are you having a party? Or do you want to go home?"
After Jin Ningxi finished speaking, the three people at the table, including Jin Changyu, all looked at Sang Qian.
Sang Qian: "???"
Why are you all staring at her?
It's not like it's her birthday.
"Qianqian, what do you think?" Old Madam Jin asked her.
"Oh, he's busy with work and doesn't like it..."
Sang Qian was about to use Jin Changyu's excuse about refusing to celebrate her birthday two years ago to brush it off when she heard his voice from the side, "I want to celebrate alone with Qianqian, without a party or going back to the old house."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian suddenly looked at him.
His gaze was indifferent and cold.
The man who wouldn't even celebrate his birthday with her while they were married is now saying he wants to celebrate with her alone—that's utter nonsense.
A memory of the time he celebrated his birthday with Zhou Yunshuang suddenly flashed through her mind, and her expression turned even colder.
So, "wanting to celebrate alone with her" is just an excuse; he's actually using her as a shield so he can spend the day with his sweetheart.
"Oh~ a world for two, I get it."
Jin Ningxi looked at the two of them with an ambiguous gaze.
Sang Qian ignored him, pretending not to have heard him.
"Grandma, these lotus root slices are delicious, please try them."
She served food to Madam Jin and casually steered the conversation elsewhere.
"By the way, Ningxi, how was that traditional Chinese style gala your school held last time?"
Speaking of this, Jin Ningxi became very excited, "That scene was absolutely stunning, you wouldn't believe it, I felt like I had traveled back in time..."
The latter half of the meal was entirely Jin Ningxi's animated narration, while the other three listened attentively and politely, occasionally asking a question or two. The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious.
Because Madam Jin had a habit of taking a midday nap, she and Jin Ningxi prepared to go back shortly after lunch.
Jin Changyu and Sang Qian saw the two off.
Before getting into the car, Madam Jin glanced at Jin Changyu, took Sang Qian's hand, and whispered, "Remember what Grandma told you."
"ah?"
Before Sang Qian could react, Old Madam Jin leaned close to her ear and said, "Tame him."
Jin Changyu stood aside watching the two whispering. He didn't know what his grandmother had said, but Sang Qian's long, curly eyelashes fluttered several times.
The afternoon sun shone on her face, making her delicate, fair skin glow with a rosy hue and look beautiful.
Finally, after seeing the person off to the car, Sang Qian stood there watching the car leave the courtyard.
Once the car had disappeared from sight, Jin Changyu leaned close to her ear and asked, "What did Grandma just say to you?"
The man's warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Sang Qian quickly took a few steps away.
"None of your business."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the house.
Jin Changyu took a long stride and chased after him, saying, "You're ignoring people again."
"You're just too nosy."
"I'm just curious, can't I even ask?"
"no!"
"Tell me about it."
As the two entered the house one after the other, the woman said, "Grandma is teaching me how to train dogs."
Regardless of whether the methods taught by Madam Jin are effective or not, they only apply to marital or romantic relationships.
So it had no effect on her.
She doesn't need it either.
This man doesn't need her to train him, and she doesn't have the time to train men right now.
Now, the only thing she hopes for and wants to cultivate and train is—
Only her unborn baby.
What is a man?
I don't know, and I don't want it anymore.
The baby smells better.
