When Xiaoqi got home, she was busy in the kitchen. She had asked Qin Zifu and the others if they would be back for dinner, and after confirming, she started making dinner. Today, she had started stewing a pot of chicken soup early.
As a bodyguard, she was always given time off. She only accompanied Qin Zifu when she went to work. Otherwise, as long as Qi Jingchen was around, it seemed that she was not needed. Because when Qi Jingchen was around, Qi Zhuo and Qi Yue were also around, so all she could do was cook and find something else to do.
"Mr. Qi, Madam, you're back!"
"Yes, you're back. By the way, you'll be free from the kitchen from now on."
Qin Zifu watched Xiaoqi running from the kitchen wearing an apron and felt that she shouldn't be lingering around the kitchen.
"Huh? Why?"
Does she have an important mission?
"An auntie will come in a couple of days to take care of my three meals a day."
This way, Qi Jingchen and Xiao Qi are both freed up; they won't have to go into the kitchen anymore.
"oh…"
Well, that means I'm out of cooking too.
"Mr. Qi, I've placed the meal on the table."
Qi Zhuo placed the ordered meal on the table.
"You two can eat here together."
Looking at the table full of dishes, Qin Zifu realized that they had packed three more dishes to go, which was more than enough for the five of them to eat together.
"Thank you, Madam. You're welcome then."
Qi Zhuo and Qi Yue didn't stand on ceremony and didn't wait for Qi Jingchen to speak.
"Don't be shy, please have a seat."
"I'll go get the soup; today's soup has been simmering in a clay pot for several hours."
"I'll do it."
Qi Zhuo got up and followed Xiao Qi to the kitchen.
"Okay, you take this, I'll get the bowl and dipping sauce, we'll use them when we eat the chicken."
Xiaoqi knows Qi Zhuo and Qi Yue, since they both work for the Qi family and she sometimes runs into them, but she is not as capable as the two of them.
"Okay, take your time."
Qi Zhuo saw that Xiao Qi had taken a lot of things and couldn't help but give her some instructions.
"It's alright, it's alright, I can take it, it's nothing."
Qin Zifu has already started eating rabbit heads. She had eaten them in the local area before and was very familiar with the techniques of dissecting rabbit heads, so she ate them with great skill.
"It's quite spicy."
"Have some chicken soup."
"This combination is absolutely amazing, spicy rabbit head with chicken soup. I can't tell if I'm eating healthily or indulging myself."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it."
Qi Jingchen never felt that he should control her diet just because she was pregnant. As long as she was healthy, that was enough.
Qi Jingchen had never eaten rabbit head before, especially a dish that was so spicy and numbing, where you couldn't see the original appearance of the ingredients or taste their freshness.
However, under Qin Zifu's expectant gaze, he still put on disposable gloves, watched Qin Zifu's technique, broke one open, and put it in his mouth.
The instant numbing and spicy pain filled my mouth, but it smelled quite good. No wonder she liked it; it was a bittersweet experience.
"The Sichuan-style boiled chicken was delicious, and Xiaoqi's chicken soup and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar were also very good. The food was great today."
Qin Zifu is a master of balancing things; everything she makes tastes delicious, and indeed, it does.
They were all overjoyed by the praise. It was one thing to be able to dine at the same table as the boss, but to be praised like that was simply heavenly. As a working person, it couldn't be more wonderful.
Li, who works intensely at the company all day, asked: "Is there no love left? Everyone's eating together, and he's working overtime for the boss? He hasn't eaten yet!"
But no one spoke up for him.
Then Li Wen thought about his annual salary and year-end bonus, and instantly became full of fighting spirit. He was determined to become a superior person!
Li Wen was full of energy, and the others on his side were also full of energy, upholding the fine virtue of the "Clean Plate Campaign" today.
After Qi Zhuo and Qi Yue quickly cleaned up the restaurant with Xiao Qi, they left.
Qin Zifu has recently been watching a dating reality show featuring ordinary people. The guests on the show are all very well-off, almost all of them are graduates of Tsinghua or Peking University, or have studied abroad, have good jobs, and are very cultured in their manners and speech.
"Why are you interested in dating someone?"
"Interesting. This was filmed a while ago. This season is my favorite. I heard they've already proposed."
Qin Zifu introduced him to who had feelings for whom, who was almost mutually attracted to whom, who was locked in with whom from the start, and who started to have a spark with whom but then it faded away.
Qi Jingchen found it all a jumbled mess. The main problem was that he couldn't even tell which of the female guests was which, so he was confused from the start. He was just listening for the fun of it all.
Did you not understand? Do you need me to explain it again?
Qin Zifu tilted her head and looked at him.
"No need, I'm not interested in other people's romantic relationships."
Does this really need to be explained a second time? There's no need...
"It's so sweet!"
"Aren't we sweet together? Do you need to watch other people's relationships?"
He then lifted the person up and held them in his arms.
"It's alright, I guess."
"Just okay?"
"You're mistaken, it's very good."
Qin Zifu nodded vigorously, correcting herself as if she were a little coward, before realizing what she was being cowardly about—she was pregnant, and her expression changed instantly.
Qi Jingchen watched her change her expression so quickly that he could immediately guess what she was thinking, and he flicked her nose.
"How can he be so cute?"
"Hmph, carry me back to my room."
"Yes, wife."
"good"
Qin Zifu touched Qi Jingchen's hair, feeling like she was pulling the tiger's fur off its head. She could do whatever she wanted now without any consequences, which was incredibly satisfying.
What are you thinking about?
"nothing"
"Why are you so happy?"
"Yes, didn't we say that pregnant women should keep a good mood? I'm just putting that into practice."
"You're right, that makes a lot of sense."
What else can I say but agree with him? Whatever my wife says goes.
"So what are you thinking about?"
"I can't believe how adorable my wife is."
"..."
Qin Zifu is almost immune to it; all she does is praise her every day.
"What are you looking at?"
"I always feel like my bra is a little small."
"Is it tight?"
"Hmm, I need to get a larger size."
"That's right..."
"It's probably due to hormones; my belly hasn't gotten big yet, but my breasts have."
Qin Zifu knew that hormonal changes during pregnancy would generally increase the size of the breasts.
"An army marches on its stomach."
"...You really know your stuff, do you need to apply military strategy to pregnancy?"
"Hey, put these on."
"Just stop looking and get out."
Qin Zifu chased the person out of the bathroom and then slowly put on her pajamas.
When they left, Qi Jingchen was sitting at the table, looking at something on the computer.
"Have a job"
"Yes, there is one. I didn't go today; there are some online documents that need to be reviewed and signed."
Li Wen has already done a lot of the work, but he can't sign off on it.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I'm going to get into bed now."
As the weather got colder, she enjoyed snuggling in bed more and more.
"Okay, I'll keep you company in a bit."
Rather than saying he was accompanying her, it would be more accurate to say he wanted her to be with him and wanted to spend time with her.
When two emotionally stable people are together, they won't feel bored even if they live ordinary days. Instead, they'll experience a slow and steady flow of affection, with their feelings growing deeper over time.
