Tomorrow is JOE's Fall/Winter collection launch event.
The runway is already being set up.
Qin Yun supervised the scene, while Jiang Zhi went to JOE.
Qiao Chu was in her own private showroom when Jiang Zhi went to find her.
...
Upon seeing Qiao Chu, Jiang Zhi embraced her and kissed her tenderly.
His hand gently and tenderly covered Qiao Chu's protruding belly.
"Honey, is the baby being good?"
Qiao Chu smiled sweetly, "Honey, they're moving around more often. It seems they're being quite mischievous."
Jiang Zhi smiled, which made his handsome face even more charming. "So mischievous, you should have a son. But I also want a daughter, please don't have two sons."
Qiao Chu's smile deepened. "Perhaps, my daughter is also quite mischievous."
"It's good for my daughter to be lively, and it's okay if she's a little fierce, then she won't be bullied."
"Honey, is this a case of favoring girls over boys?"
"No, it hurts the same for both. But I love my wife the most."
Suddenly, Qiao Chu kissed Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi still held Qiao Chu in his arms, "Don't overwork yourself, you must get some rest."
“I know, I’m just here to take a look and check it out.”
“You let Cheng Ling walk the main show, and her popularity has gone up. She... shouldn't be stage-frightened, right? This is her first time being the lead in such a big show, and I'm a little worried that she might not be mentally prepared.”
“What you’re worried about is what I’m worried about too. I called Xiao Liu and asked him to keep an eye on Cheng Ling’s emotions, and also to comfort her and help her cope with the pressure.”
"That kid... is he up to the task?"
“I think it’s a good idea! Cheng Ling trusts Xiao Liu a lot. She’s very naive, and she should take Xiao Liu’s encouragement to heart. It should have an effect.”
"It feels like...we're the matchmakers, pulling the red thread of fate together!"
"If it works out, honey, don't forget to ask Xiao Liu for a matchmaker's red envelope!"
Jiang Zhi grinned slyly, "I wonder if that kid has the guts?"
When fate brings you together, nothing can stop it.
"OK, if it works out, I'll have them arrange a thank-you banquet for the matchmakers."
Qiao Chu's smile was radiant, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Jiang Zhi: "Wife, let's get back to the point. I have something important to tell you."
Qiao Chu looked at Jiang Zhi with sharp eyes, "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening carefully."
"Rong Yan contacted Chen Ran's agent, and it seems they are discussing a cosmetics endorsement contract."
"Their reaction was faster than I expected, but not as fast as my decision. I was a little surprised that they knew how to be flexible! There must be someone guiding them behind the scenes."
"Although Rong Sheng was once a powerful figure, he is relatively conservative, which Rong Zhan probably didn't expect. Recently, Rong Yan seems to have changed completely; someone must have been guiding her. Given her previous personality, she wouldn't have taken this step. I've also heard that Rong Zhan hired a headhunting firm, and there have been personnel changes at the Rong Group."
“Taking this step, this change, is the right thing to do. Let’s compete fairly; we disdain underhanded tactics.”
Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "A monopoly is too ostentatious. A healthy competitive environment is what makes a true business. We are confident of winning. I am paying attention to Rong's Group's every move, but I don't intend to attack them. After the reforms, Rong's Group won't fall so badly. At least they will have a way to survive. I hope they have some market ethics."
"Rong Sheng still has some conscience. Rong Yan has been keeping a low profile, but it's hard to say."
"If she dares to do anything reckless and tries to harm you, I will never let her get away with it."
"I feel very safe with my husband protecting me!"
In an instant, Jiang Zhi kissed Qiao Chu again, "Wife, can you leave now? I'm worried you'll get tired if you stand for too long."
"The checkup is done, you can go now. Honey, I want to eat something."
"I'll take you to get dessert, and there are some snacks there too."
Qiao Chu nodded.
Just thinking about the taste makes her mouth water.
She's no longer experiencing morning sickness, has a good appetite, and gets hungry quickly.
She eats for one person, but provides nutrition for three.
...
Jiang Zhi ordered lotus seed, lily bulb, and snow fungus sweet soup, coconut milk sago pudding, as well as red date cake, dumplings, Japanese-style chicken wings, and oden.
Qiao Chu ate with great relish, and quite a lot.
Fortunately, she did prenatal yoga, otherwise her weight would have been out of control.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Chu let out a satisfied burp.
Instinctively, she also touched her bulging belly.
I only realized how difficult and arduous it is to be a mother after becoming an expectant mother!
A mother's love is also amazing!
Jiang Zhi was very considerate and took great care of her, making Qiao Chu feel extremely happy.
Their love will extend to the children, allowing them to feel loved as well.
...
"Honey, I want to go for a walk in the nearby park. I've eaten too much, I need to get some exercise."
"good!"
After leaving the dessert shop, Jiang Zhi accompanied Qiao Chu for a walk in a nearby park.
Springtime in Haicheng is cool; you still need a jacket.
Strolling in the park, basking in the sun, is quite warm and pleasant.
Even though it was just a walk, Jiang Zhi was extremely careful, keeping his arm around Qiao Chu the whole time.
Qiao Chu's hand instinctively rested on her protruding belly, as if she were carefully protecting their baby.
...
When they reached the bushes, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu saw quite a few pet cats and dogs.
There's no one here.
I don't know whose pet cats and dogs these are.
It seems they've been here for quite some time.
They look hungry.
Especially pet cats, they keep meowing.
The sound of those cries was quite pitiful!
“Honey, they must be stray cats and dogs, right? The people who take care of them are really awful. They just leave them here because they don’t want them anymore.”
Jiang Zhi glanced around and happened to see an elderly man taking a walk approaching. He asked him a question.
"Hello, Auntie! Do you often take walks in the park?"
The aunt paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, I often take walks in the park, and I live nearby."
Who left these cats and dogs here?
"These are stray cats and dogs, nobody cares about them. Sometimes, some kind people come to feed them. In the past, the police were called and a batch of them were removed. But later, I don't know why, their numbers gradually increased again."
These little animals may look cute, but it's best to keep your distance. They've been living outside for a while; who knows if they've picked up bacteria or lice, especially pregnant women? Don't touch them.
"Thank you, Auntie, we understand."
"You're welcome!"
Then, the aunt left.
He was swinging his arms as he walked, seemingly exercising.
...
Worried about Qiao Chu's safety and also wanting to be gentle with her and the baby, Jiang Zhi put his arm around Qiao Chu and walked through the bushes.
Two kittens kept meowing, and three puppies followed them.
Jiang Zhi protected Qiao Chu, preventing them from getting close to her.
"Don't come any closer. I'll call and have someone bring dog and cat food to feed you. My wife really can't get near you. We'll try our best to help you."
