Chapter 35 Don't want to be in a relationship?
Sang Qian was stunned to see Jin Changyu suddenly appear in the car.
What are you doing here?
Jin Changyu: "When you called Lao Chen, he was just dropping me off to run some errands."
Driver Lao Chen glanced at his lying boss in the rearview mirror, "???"
Is that how it is?
Sang Qian quickly said, "Then I'll call a car back, so as not to delay your business."
"Now that I've finished my business, I'm going home."
Jin Changyu looked at the woman who was about to leave and said, "Get in the car."
"……good."
Sang Qian got into the car.
The car started and drove off, the quiet cabin filled with a hint of awkwardness.
Sang Qian cleared her throat. "If you need a car, just have Lao Chen let me know. It's easy for me to call a car myself. You don't need to go out of your way to pick me up."
Jin Changyu: "I happen to be running errands nearby."
"Oh, I see."
The carriage fell silent again.
After a while.
The man asked casually, "Dinner with your senior sister's apprentice?"
Sang Qian replied, "Yes, that's right."
Yan Guizhi had been standing next to her the whole time; he probably saw her from inside the car.
"You two have a good relationship?" the man asked cryptically.
Sang Qian: "It's alright."
"What have you been busy with these past few days, leaving early and coming home late?"
Sang Qian casually replied, "If you're bored at home alone, just go out and hang out with your friends."
"Looking for that Yan Guizhi?"
Sensing the coldness in his tone, Sang Qian frowned. "Who I look for is none of your business, ex-husband."
Upon hearing the words "ex-husband," Jin Changyu's temples throbbed with veins, and he took a deep breath. "I can't control who you hang out with."
"But Sang Qian, don't forget you're pregnant."
Sang Qian laughed in exasperation, "What, pregnant women can't go out?"
"Have you not been home for dinner for days?"
Jin Changyu looked at her, his eyes revealing a hint of barely perceptible resentment.
"Can restaurant food compare to a nutritious home-cooked meal?"
How do you know it's not as good as mine?
Because of her pregnancy, the meals she's been eating at Jian.Chao Company these past few days have all been specially prepared and delivered by Su Luoluo's housekeeper. They're nutritious and healthy, no worse than the meals she gets at home.
“The child is mine, and I care about him/her more than you do.”
Sang Qian glanced at him, somewhat displeased, "Besides, you can't control me, so don't cause me any trouble."
"I...I didn't."
Jin Changyu muttered something in a low voice, not daring to say anything more.
I was afraid of upsetting her again.
He wasn't trying to control her, much less cause her trouble.
only……
The thought of Yan Guizhi standing intimately with her just now made him feel uneasy.
There was a moment of silence.
He still bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."
"..."
Looking at the man apologizing to her in surprise, Sang Qian was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
She understood this man less and less.
But I guessed that he was probably apologizing to avoid upsetting her during pregnancy and was just trying to be considerate of her feelings.
"fine."
After saying that, she turned to look out the window and stopped talking to him.
Back at Royal Bay, Sang Qian went straight to her bedroom.
The next morning.
Jin Changyu looked at the woman in her pajamas coming downstairs for breakfast and asked, "Aren't you going to visit your friends today?"
Sang Qian looked up at him and said, "Everyone has work to do. Who has time to play with a pregnant woman like me every day?"
Jin Changyu's gaze faltered for a moment, and then, as if thinking of something, he lowered his eyes in a somber mood.
After a moment, he spoke again, "I have to go outside the city this morning to inspect a new project, and I won't be back for lunch."
Sang Qian gave an indifferent "Oh," and said, "You don't need to tell me, just go and report to Aunt Li."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Jin Changyu silently took a sip of kiwi juice, feeling a sour taste in his chest.

Gao Ze was waiting by the car in the yard. When he saw Jin Changyu come out, he went up and opened the back door of the car.
"Good morning, Mr. Jin."
"morning."
Jin Changyu nodded and then got into the car.
After the car got on the road, it headed out of the city.
Gao Ze wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his boss seemed a little down early in the morning.
He cleared his throat before saying, "Mr. Jin, let me give you a brief report on my work schedule over the past few days."
"Um."
"After the site visit, there will be a project presentation that requires your attendance. After the meeting..."
As the president of the Jin Group, Jin Changyu's daily work schedule is packed.
Jin Changyu had been busy like this for the past two or three years, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little irritable listening to the densely packed work schedule.
My mind is filled with the words Sang Qian once said—
"If you're bored at home alone, just go out and hang out with your friends."
"Everyone has work to do, who has time to play with a pregnant woman like me every day?"
Gao Ze was still diligently reporting his itinerary when he suddenly heard the man behind him say, "Make sure you have the Mid-Autumn Festival a week from now free."
Gao Ze was stunned, looking at his boss who worked 365 days a year without a break in disbelief, thinking he had misheard.
"You're planning to... take a day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Jin Changyu looked up at him. "Company employees get three days off, can't I take one day off?"
"Yes, of course."
Gao Ze immediately realized what was going on.
I left home in a bad mood this morning, and now I suddenly have to take a vacation. It's probably because of my wife.
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, families reunite. If your wife knew that you had taken time out of your busy schedule to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, she would be very happy."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Jin Changyu's dim eyes.
He suddenly remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival of their first year of marriage. That night, he was busy until late and came home to find a table in the yard with an exquisite fruit platter, mooncakes, and various snacks for moon-viewing.
Wearing only light clothing, Sang Qian lay alone on the table, fast asleep.
Later, he carried the person back to the house to sleep.
That time, she waited for him all night.
Later, he heard from Aunt Li that she was looking forward to spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with him and started preparing things for moon viewing early that morning.
Unfortunately, he missed it.
He was still very busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival the following year, but this time he told her in advance that he couldn't spend the festival with her.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment, but she still smiled and said to him, "It's okay, the Mid-Autumn Festival isn't a very important holiday. Your work is more important."
Pulling himself back from his memories, Jin Changyu felt a pang of self-reproach.
How many times has he disappointed her because of work?
It wasn't just the Mid-Autumn Festival; it seemed like he had never properly spent time with her on any holiday.
"Mr. Jin, please spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your wife. Leave the work to me."
Jin Changyu looked at him and said, "You should also take a day off and go back to spend the holiday with your family."
He used to be so busy, and Gao Ze, as his special assistant, was not spared either.
"No way, you'd rather I stay and work overtime than go home for the holiday."
Jin Changyu looked at his resistant expression and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
Gao Ze sighed, "If I go back now, my mom will definitely force me to go on blind dates again."
Jin Changyu asked in confusion, "You're 27 years old this year, don't you want to be in a relationship?"
