Chapter 69 Your sister-in-law is his wife, of course he has to cherish his own wife.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't accept it, are you still angry with us?"
Sang Qian quickly shook her head, "Of course not, why would I be angry with you?"
“Since it’s not, then you should accept it.” Jin Ningxi blinked. “Otherwise, Grandma will think you’re angry with her.”
"..."
Sang Qian looked up at Old Madam Jin, who was also looking at her, and sighed inwardly.
never mind.
Accept it first, then give it to Jin Changyu.
"Well... thank you, Grandma."
The old lady smiled and said, "That's a good girl."
"Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, I remember your aunt makes really delicious wontons. Can you ask her to make some for me for lunch?"
Jin Ningxi said with a grin.
It seems they plan to have lunch here before leaving.
Sang Qian nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Aunt Li to make it for us at noon."
Then he asked her, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Jin Ningxi didn't hold back and started ordering food, "And that, that pumpkin stew with vermicelli, and paper-wrapped meat."
A long time ago, when Jin Ningxi came to visit, Sang Qian asked Aunt Li to prepare a large table of delicious food to entertain her.
Sang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go tell Aunt Li."
Seeing her go to the kitchen, Old Madam Jin poked Jin Ningxi's forehead and scolded her with a smile, "You little rascal, all you know is how to eat."
Sang Qian went into the kitchen and told Aunt Li about the dishes Jin Ningxi had ordered. She also instructed her to prepare two more light dishes suitable for the elderly to eat for health reasons. Then she went to the side and secretly sent a message to Jin Changyu.
Your grandma and Ningxi are coming over for lunch. Come home early.
Jin Changyu, [Is Grandma here?]
Sang Qian, [Yes.]
Jin Changyu, [I'll be right back.]
Just as Sang Qian saw the message, Jin Ningxi exclaimed in surprise from the living room. Sang Qian paused and immediately walked out of the kitchen.
"You silly girl, why are you so clumsy even when drinking tea?"
Old Madam Jin took a tissue and wiped Jin Ningxi's clothes.
Sang Qian walked over and asked, "What happened?"
Jin Ningxi pouted, "The tea was a bit hot, and I accidentally spilled it on my clothes."
Sang Qian noticed tea stains on her milky-white skirt. "Your clothes are dirty. Why don't you come to my room and change?"
Jin Ningxi looked at the slender Sang Qian, then at her own waist, and said, "But I probably can't fit into your clothes."
Sang Qian said, "We're about the same height, and besides, all my clothes are loose-fitting now, so you'll have no problem wearing them."
Madam Jin patted Jin Ningxi's hand and said, "Go quickly."
"good."
Sang Qian led her to her walk-in closet, pointed to the clothes arranged on the left, and said, "These clothes are all brand new and unworn. Take a look and see which ones you like and wear them."
Jin Changyu bought her so many clothes that she couldn't possibly wear them all.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Sang Qian was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so she said, "Then you can choose for yourself. Come down after you're dressed. I'll go down and keep Grandma company first."
Jin Ningxi: "Okay."
Sang Qian left the room and went downstairs to find Old Madam Jin.
"Grandma, the tea is too hot. Shall I get you a different cup?"
"No need, come here, Qianqian, sit with Grandma for a while."
Madam Jin beckoned her over.
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say to her, Sang Qian nodded and sat down next to her.
Sure enough, after asking a few questions about her recent pregnancy symptoms, Madam Jin gradually got to the point—
"Qianqian, your mother-in-law has a bad temper and often does foolish things. She needs to be taught a lesson. But Changyu is not someone who can be manipulated by others. Even if his mother has some bad ideas, he will not listen to her. You can rest assured about that."
"If you don't like getting along with your mother-in-law, it's okay to see her less often in the future. You don't need to feel guilty."
Grandma Jin held her hand and said, "Grandma only hopes that your mother-in-law won't affect the relationship between you two, okay?"
What kind of marital affection can divorced people still have?
Sang Qian lowered her eyes, feeling guilty and not daring to look the old man in the eye, and just nodded silently.
"As for Changyu," Madam Jin continued, "…"
"He shoulders the heavy responsibility of the entire family's business. He has been raised from childhood to be the heir, so he is reserved and rational in his actions, and may be a little clueless about romance."
"But men are command-oriented creatures, and sometimes they need women to soften and train them."
Seeing Sang Qian's bewildered expression, Old Madam Jin continued to impart her experience, "As long as you guide and train him with your heart, even the most upright man can be transformed into a gentle and yielding one."
"Once you've tamed him and he listens to everything you say, then there won't be any conflicts or obstacles between you two, right?"
"..."
Sang Qian looked at Madam Jin with disbelief and incredulity.
She was actually teaching me...how to tame Jin Changyu?
Sang Qian was at a loss for words.
Just then, a noise came from the stairs; it was Jin Ningxi, who had changed her clothes, coming downstairs.
The two ended the conversation at the appropriate time.
Jin Ningxi came down wearing a light pink dress.
Sang Qian saw her walk over with a satisfied look on her face. "Sister-in-law, who designed your clothes? The style is really nice."
This question really stumped Sang Qian.
Since becoming pregnant, all her clothes and shoes have been bought by Jin Changyu, though she doesn't know the specifics.
"Wait until your brother comes back, then you can ask him. That's when he'll know."
"So all your clothes were picked out by my brother?"
Jin Ningxi seemed to have heard something new and interesting. "Is this guy, who only focuses on his work all day long, really this considerate in private?"
After she finished speaking, she pouted and complained, "He has never cared about my mom's, grandma's, clothes."
Madam Jin smiled and said, "How can that be the same? Your sister-in-law is his wife, of course he has to cherish his own wife."
"..."
Seeing how they thought she and Jin Changyu were a loving couple, Sang Qian felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't explain, so she could only force a smile as a response.
"Wait a minute, sister-in-law, I don't see any of my brother's clothes in your walk-in closet, and there are no men's toiletries or anything like that in the bathroom?"
Jin Ningxi looked at Sang Qian strangely, "Didn't you and my brother sleep in the same room?"
Sang Qian's body stiffened abruptly.
She had forgotten about that.
That's because...
Sang Qian's mind raced, searching for a reasonable explanation. "Your brother has been quite busy lately, often working late into the night in his study. He didn't want to disturb my rest, so he slept in the bedroom next to the study."
"It's better to sleep separately for now."
Madam Jin leaned closer and whispered to her, "It's early in the pregnancy, so that this brat won't lose control and hurt you and the baby."
?
Sang Qian didn't react at first, but after meeting the old lady's meaningful gaze, she understood the meaning behind her words.
"..."
You're probably overthinking it.
Even if she weren't pregnant now, she and Jin Changyu could never have that kind of relationship again.
"But after three months, you can no longer sleep in separate rooms," Madam Jin added. "As your belly grows bigger, it will be more inconvenient to move around at night. It will be safer for you to have your husband by your side, understand?"
"……knew."
Sang Qian responded softly.
Then, Madam Jin told her about some minor issues to pay attention to during pregnancy.
The three chatted in the living room, and soon Jin Changyu returned.
Upon entering the house and seeing the old lady and Jin Ningxi, he immediately glanced at Sang Qian to make sure she didn't look unwell before turning to the old lady, his tone far from welcoming.
"Grandma, why did you come over without saying goodbye?"
