Chapter 74 I'll give your husband back to you early tonight
After dinner, Sang Qian said she was going to buy some gifts for Chen Ma to take back, so they went to the mall again. By the time they got home, it was already past 9:30.
After entering the house, Sang Qian asked Sang Jingshan, "Second Uncle, are you going to play chess again tonight?"
Sang Jingshan: "No, I'll return your husband to you early tonight."
Sang Qian generously said, "Please feel free to use it, don't be shy."
Jin Changyu, “…”
Sang Jingshan glanced at him, somewhat amused, and said to Sang Qian, "No, I'm getting old. It's tiring to go out all day. I need to go to bed early."
"You two should go back to your rooms and rest early."
Before Sang Qian could speak, the man next to her said, "Alright, then we won't disturb Second Uncle's rest."
Sang Jingshan waved to them and returned to his guest room.
Jin Changyu then pulled the woman, who looked somewhat tired, back to their bedroom.
He asked her to sit on the sofa, "Would you like Aunt Li to prepare a midnight snack for you?"
She vomited once during dinner and didn't eat much afterward.
Sang Qian leaned back on the sofa, her body somewhat languid, even her head-shaking movements were slow.
"No, I want to go to bed early tonight."
She visited several places today, and her physical strength was quite depleted. She didn't feel anything when she was outside, but now that she's sitting down, she feels exhausted.
Jin Changyu looked at the woman, who resembled a lazy little cat, with gentle eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare a bath for you. Take a bath first."
Sang Qian was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say that she wouldn't trouble him, but when she looked up, she saw that he had already gone to the bathroom.
After running the water, Jin Changyu looked at the woman still lying on the sofa and asked her considerately, "The water's ready. Do you want me to find you some pajamas?"
Sang Qian's eyelids twitched violently, and she quickly said, "No need, I can do it myself."
Jin Changyu watched her go to the dressing room to get her pajamas and enter the bathroom before he turned and left the room.

Taking a bath really does relieve fatigue. After taking a bath, Sang Qian felt comfortable all over and refreshed.
She also washed her hair and dried it before coming out of the bathroom.
When they went outside, they found no one in the room and had no idea where Jin Changyu had gone.
But Sang Qian had no time to care about him at the moment. After taking a shower, she had used up a lot of her energy and now felt very hungry.
We have to go downstairs to find something to eat.
Sang Qian opened the door and almost bumped into Jin Changyu, who was carrying a food tray and about to enter the house. Jin Changyu reacted quickly and took a step back.
Where are we going?
He asked.
"Holy crap..."
As Sang Qian spoke, she noticed that he was holding a bowl of beef noodles. "This is..."
"I thought you didn't eat much for dinner, and it's not good for you to go to bed hungry, so I made you a bowl of noodles."
Worried that she wouldn't eat, Jin Changyu gently persuaded her, "Eat a few bites even if you're not hungry, okay?"
The aroma of beef noodles wafted into her nose, and Sang Qian unconsciously swallowed. "Okay."
She doesn't just eat a few bites; she can now finish the whole bowl.
"Come in quickly."
At that moment, all she could see was the delicious bowl of beef noodles in Jin Changyu's hand, so she grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.
Jin Changyu was taken aback by her sudden "enthusiasm," and a hint of surprise and flattery flashed in his eyes.
He followed her in and saw the woman sitting at the table with an upright posture, her head tilted back, her eyes fixed on the bowl in his hand.
Its eyes shone brightly, just like a little gluttonous cat waiting for food.
?
So she's... hungry now?
Jin Changyu couldn't help but slightly curl his lips.
Finally, the bowl of noodles was placed in front of her. Without saying a word, Sang Qian picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
The moment she lowered her head, her smooth hair, which had just been washed and dried, also drooped down. Seeing this, Jin Changyu went to the dressing table, took out a hair clip, sat down next to her, and helped her tie all her hair up, securing it at the back of her head with the hair clip.
Seeing her blowing on it while eating heartily, Jin Changyu's eyes lit up with a smile. "It's still very hot, eat slowly."
Pregnant women are so cute. One second they're saying they don't want to eat, and the next second all they can see is the bowl of noodles in front of them.
He didn't even glance at him out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely from eating, Jin Changyu took a tissue to wipe her nose and gently reminded her, "Eat slowly."
Finally, after finishing the whole bowl of noodles, Sang Qian let out a satisfied burp, licked the soup from the corner of her mouth, and suddenly noticed a gaze on her from the side.
She turned her head and met a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
After finishing my meal, my thoughts returned to me. I remembered how I had arrogantly told people I wouldn't eat before taking a shower, but now I had finished the whole bowl of noodles. The slap in the face came too quickly, making me a little embarrassed.
"Actually... I'm fine, it's mainly the baby who wants to eat."
She touched her belly and blamed the baby for her gluttony.
But it's not entirely unfair to her, because she wasn't like this before. It was only after she got pregnant that she suddenly became hungry, and when she was hungry, she would act like a glutton, with nothing but food in her eyes.
The woman, who had just finished showering, had a clean face, but because she had eaten soup noodles, a thin blush appeared on her face, making her skin look fair and rosy, and extremely beautiful.
Jin Changyu looked at her, a doting smile playing on his lips. "Yes, I know, the baby is hungry."
The man's magnetic voice carried a hint of amusement; he spoke the word "baby" with excessive tenderness, making it sound...
"I'll take the bowl down."
The man reached out and rubbed her head, then got up, collected the dishes, and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Sang Qian snapped out of her daze, looking at the tightly shut door with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Jin Changyu seems a little... different from usual today.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's different.
In short...
The way he looked at her and the tone of his voice seemed exceptionally gentle, and his care for his ex-wife was excessively considerate and attentive.
He also arranged for her to entertain her second uncle and even made a special trip to have dinner with her and her second uncle.
Actually, even if he didn't do these things, his second uncle wouldn't say anything, and she certainly wouldn't say anything either.
But he did it anyway.
Moreover, those actions were just like those of a responsible, family-oriented, and considerate husband.
This is completely beyond the scope of a husband's responsibilities.
Why did he do that?
Is she worried that her second uncle will see through the cracks in their marital breakdown, so she plays the role of husband to the extreme?
Sang Qian frowned and fell into deep thought.

When Jin Changyu returned to the room, he saw Sang Qian sitting on the headboard reading a book.
He glanced at the book in her hand; it was "The Baby Care Encyclopedia" she was reading today.
"I'm going to take a shower."
He went to the dressing room to get his pajamas.
To avoid arousing suspicion from Sang Jingshan, he had Aunt Li bring two sets of his change of clothes and leave them here beforehand.
Sang Qian was momentarily lost in thought as she watched the man take clothes from the dressing room and head to the bathroom.
The scene was both so familiar and so strange.
Having lived alone in this room for a while, she had gotten used to her own routine in this space. Suddenly, a man moved in, and she felt uncomfortable.
Even though he was the man she was once most familiar with.
He is also the owner of this room.
The sound of the bathroom door closing pulled her back to reality. Sang Qian came to her senses, lowered her head to try to continue reading, but found that she couldn't concentrate. So she simply closed the book, lay down, and closed her eyes to sleep.

When Jin Changyu came out after taking a shower, he saw that the person on the bed was already asleep.
She wasn't faking sleep, because in the quiet room, you could hear her soft, even breathing.
Spending the whole day with someone is quite tiring for a pregnant woman who usually needs to take a nap.
The room was brightly lit. Jin Changyu went over and turned off the lights, leaving only a soft wall lamp on.
He then went to the bedside, bent down to pull the blanket up for the person on the bed, and then went to the sofa.
The sofa in the room was spacious enough that even someone nearly 1.9 meters tall wouldn't feel too cramped sleeping there.
In a corner of the sofa, there was a thin blanket and pillow that she had left for him.
So I guess I didn't treat him unfairly.
Jin Changyu sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the bed.
It was a rare opportunity to be in the same room with her. Although they couldn't go to bed together, he was still very satisfied and reluctant to go to sleep.
He didn't sleep last night either.
He even covered the woman who always kicks off the covers with a blanket several times.
