Chapter 283 Just Because She Is Her
As the two of them walked out of the mall carrying the ingredients they had bought, the lights were coming on.
Liuzhi called for the fifth time, urging them to go back and cook because the child was starving.
When they arrived at the parking lot in Area D of Jiangpan No. 9, the Ming family's car happened to be following behind and parked next to their car.
"Baby Anran!" As soon as Liu Zhi got out of the car, she rushed straight to Meng Anran and hugged her tightly in her arms.
We just met a few days ago, but it feels like we haven't seen each other for decades.
Meng Anran patted her back helplessly, "Alright, alright, it's only been a few days since we last met, why are you so excited?"
"You don't understand!" Liu Zhi cried. "It feels like a long time since I last saw you. After you fell into a coma, that bastard Qin Yaojing said he would never let me see you. After you woke up, you kept telling me you were fine. How can I feel at ease if I don't see you with my own eyes?"
Meng Anran chuckled, "Now you see, I'm fine."
"Yes, yes, it's not so easy for Miss An to fall." Liu Zhi flattered in a hypocritical manner, which sounded more like a ridicule.
A pair of best friends walked and chatted hand in hand in front, while two men followed behind carrying the ingredients.
Ming Jing gently nudged Qin Mu's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Hey, Zhizhi and I have already got our marriage certificate, why don't you and Anran hurry up?"
Qin Mu curled his lips in disapproval. "Getting a marriage certificate is so easy. Just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, take a photo, get a stamp, and you've got the certificate. But growing old together isn't easy. She needs enough time to think it over."
Ming Jing shrugged and sighed meaningfully, "I think you're just too slow, and An Ran is too rational. Between two people, one has to take the initiative, right?"
"Rational?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, recalling An Xiaoran's coquettish look in front of him, lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Maybe."
The elevator went up to the 28th floor.
After entering the door, the two men went straight into the kitchen to busy themselves. Meng Anran took Liuzhi on a tour inside and out.
Then the two best friends sat on the sofa and started chatting about gossip.
"An Xiaoran, drink some water." Qin Mu poured two glasses of sparkling water and placed them on the table.
After a while, he came back with a fruit plate and snacks. Without stopping, he returned to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.
The main feature is thoughtful service.
Liu Zhi bit into an orange, looking meaningfully at the two men busy in the kitchen. She nudged Meng Anran with her elbow and said, "Hey, when are you and Qin Yaojing planning to get married?"
Meng Anran glared at her amusedly: "Why, you used to be jealous of Qin Mu every day, but now that you have Ming Jing, you can't wait to give me up?"
"You can't say that..." Liu Zhi hugged Meng Anran flatteringly, "I'm already married. You'd be so lonely if you were left alone! Besides, besides Qin Yaojing, which other man in this world is worthy of you?"
Meng Anran pressed her palm against Liu Zhi's face and pushed her away with a look of resistance: "Don't give me that! You've become a young lady. After you get married, all the family business will be handed over to Ming Jing to take care of. You don't have to do housework, and every day you will eat, drink and have fun. I'm not that idle, and Rui Ming is still on the rise. Let's put the marriage on hold."
Liu Zhi curled her lips. "Rui Ming has become a top company in the chip industry, and it's still rising? Are you really not in a hurry at all? Someone like Qin Yaojing, who is both talented and gentle, considerate and caring, aren't you afraid that someone will snatch her away?"
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that she had heard the most ridiculous statement she had ever heard in her life.
If she had just left the Lu family, with only some scattered properties and shares in her hands, and could not be considered a good match for Qin Mu, perhaps she and Qin Mu really would not have been able to be together to the end.
But now she has Ruiming Group, and Qin Mu is in charge of Yunduan Group. Whether it is true love or a business marriage, they are each other's perfect choice.
Besides, they had known each other for twenty years and knew each other well, including each other's personalities and habits. She thought that there should be no more obstacles between her and Qin Mu.
What does it matter if you get married early or late?
"I don't want anything that can be taken away." She drank the sparkling water calmly.
It’s not that she is too confident, but that she always has absolute trust in Qin Mu.
The sound of spatulas colliding came from the kitchen, mixed with the aroma of food drifting into the living room.
Liu Zhi suddenly approached Meng Anran mysteriously and said, "Qin Yaojing looks like a capable and calm boss on the surface, but I didn't expect that he is a husband with outstanding cooking skills in private."
Meng Anran burst out laughing. She had just said this to Qin Mu last night. It turned out that she was not the only one who thought so.
"Hey, seriously," Liu Zhi lowered her voice. "Did the contrast between Mr. Qin, who's so decisive outside, cooking for you and serving you tea and water when he gets home, ever make you want to get married right away?"
Meng Anran shook her head, "No. Marriage shouldn't be decided on impulse."
Liuzhi pursed her lips speechlessly.
I must be crazy to discuss emotional issues with a rational person like you!
The delicious dishes were soon served on the table. The two men set the table and then invited their lovers to sit down.
"Wow~ It's great, it looks as good as the ones in the restaurants outside!" Liu Zhi stared at the fragrant dishes on the table with her mouth watering. After getting pregnant, she had to eat light food. God knows what kind of life she has been living during this period.
The only way to have a good meal is to come to my best friend's place.
"Try it." Qin Mu took off his apron, opened the refrigerator, and asked, "What would you like to drink? Soda? Juice? Beer? Foreign wine? Or a cocktail?"
Liu Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Qin Mu in disbelief. "Your family actually has so many choices. It's really rare!"
"An Xiaoran specifically ordered this to entertain you." Qin Mu replied with a smile, "You shouldn't drink alcohol while you're pregnant. How about juice? I'll get you some that's not cold."
"Good!" Liu Zhi cheered. Her sugar intake has been controlled recently. She just drinks some nourishing soup every day, which makes her almost vomit.
Ming Jing started to express his opinion again: "You can only drink one glass. Pregnant women should pay attention to controlling their blood sugar."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Liuzhi's excitement.
Meng Anran noticed this, took Liu Zhi's hand and felt her pulse, saying, "She's quite healthy. Eat and drink as you should. The most important thing is to stay cheerful."
Liuzhi was immediately moved and hugged her best friend tightly. It turned out that her best friend was the best to her.
Qin Mu prepared drinks for everyone and sat down at the empty seat next to Ming Jing. He lowered his voice and said to Ming Jing, "She should be the one you love, and then the mother of your child. I know you care about her health, but sometimes it might be better to express it in a different way. Let her feel that you care about her not because she is carrying your baby in her belly, but simply because she is her."
