Chapter 120 Why Can't We Kiss?
September temperatures in the South Continent are neither low nor high; the morning sun is still quite strong, but the weather is clear and the sky is as blue as the sea.
After breakfast, Lu Jinyuan ordered a tent and barbecue grill to be set up in the yard, and then took Jiang Qingying out to buy food.
It only takes fifteen minutes to drive to the supermarket. Lu Jinyuan pushed the shopping cart with both hands, and Jiang Qingying held his arm.
"What would you like to buy first?" Lu Jinyuan asked.
Jiang Qingying thought for a moment, glanced at the surrounding supermarket branches, and pointed to the nearest vegetable section, "Let's buy some vegetables first, eggplant, corn, and enoki mushrooms."
She asked, "What other vegetables are suitable for barbecuing?"
Following her instructions, Lu Jinyuan collected the items first, and then said, "They should all be fine. I'll buy a foil box later; we can put any vegetables in it to bake."
Jiang Qingying glanced at the shelves in front of her, then selected some baby bok choy and chives. "That should be enough."
"Hmm, that's about it." Lu Jinyuan pushed the bike forward and suddenly heard someone next to him sigh. He looked over and raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Qingying smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that this is the first time we've gone grocery shopping together."
"What? You really like this feeling?" Lu Jinyuan asked with a smile.
Jiang Qingying nodded, "But we don't usually have this time. Even today's family activity is something I rarely do at home."
"What do you mean?"
“When I was little, my dad was always busy at the company and my mom had her own career. Most of the time, it was just me and Jiang Xu at home, and I only saw them in the evening. When I grew up, my parents retired, but then it was my turn to be too busy to go home. We only got together more often during holidays.”
“There will be many more opportunities in the future.” Lu Jinyuan’s gaze lingered on her belly. “And there will be more and more people.”
"It's also thanks to the baby that I have time to do some things." Jiang Qingying touched her belly, a gentle smile on her face. "I really want her to come out soon, I really can't carry her anymore."
Lu Jinyuan leaned closer and kissed her. "Hang in there a little longer, there are still half a month left."
The supermarket was crowded, and Lu Jinyuan kissed her as if no one else was around. Jiang Qingying could be unrestrained at home, but she was very concerned about her image in public. After being ambushed and kissed by him, she hurriedly pushed away from his chest.
"Outside! With so many people around, don't kiss me."
Lu Jinyuan refused, pulling her to a more secluded corner, taking a large step and trapping her in his arms, saying, "Why can't we kiss?"
You know perfectly well why you're asking this!
Jiang Qingying was trapped in a small circle by him. When she looked up, she could only see the circle of light that he blocked. It was as if the whole world consisted only of him, each other, and their breathing and heartbeats.
She dodged his kiss, then laughed at his antics, and helplessly scolded, "Have you no shame?"
Lu Jinyuan's kiss wasn't deep; he just nuzzled her lips, cheek, and neck, kissed her for a while, and released her before she got angry.
Jiang Qingying was freed from her restraints and ran out in a flash.
"Slow down, don't run."
Jiang Qingying couldn't run, she only quickened her pace a few steps. She turned her head and snorted heavily, "You dog of a man."
The two spent less than an hour in the supermarket and filled an entire shopping cart, not including the ingredients for today's barbecue, but also a lot of snacks that Jiang Qingying had chosen out of her cravings.
Jiang Qingying, sitting in the passenger seat, tore open a bag of potato chips and started crunching away.
Do you want it?
Lu Jinyuan was driving and glanced at the potato chip she was holding between her fingers. The thin chip was a reddish-brown color and covered with seasoning powder.
You can tell how salty this stuff is without even thinking about it.
He quietly shook his head, indicating his refusal.
"These are kimchi-flavored potato chips, they're really delicious. You just don't know how to appreciate them." Jiang Qingying put the potato chips in her mouth and chewed them very loudly.
Lu Jinyuan did not refute, but simply said that he did not like to eat snacks and kindly reminded her to eat less.
Jiang Qingying looked back and saw two bags of snacks in the back row. She vowed, "I'll just eat a little bit every day, and I should finish them before I give birth."
Lu Jinyuan believed her. She wasn't someone who couldn't control her cravings. Before she got pregnant, she rarely ate snacks. She only started eating snacks after she got pregnant because she had nothing to do while resting.
"Drink more water," he said.
Jiang Qingying obeyed, wiped her fingers clean with a wet wipe, then unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank several mouthfuls.
Back home, Jiang Qingying ate potato chips under the tent, while Qin Qing sat next to her, watching the two busy men.
She had only half a bag of potato chips left. Fugui and Gou Dan were squatting in front of her with longing eyes. Feeling sorry for them, she gave one chip to this dog and one chip to that dog, and quickly finished off the rest of the chips.
"Is it good?" she asked the two dogs.
Fugui barked loudly, and Gou Dan immediately became a sycophant, happily spinning around several times. Fugui looked at it with disdain, which made Jiang Qingying laugh out loud.
"Xiaoying."
Jiang Qingying turned her head and looked at Qin Qing beside her. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qin Qing looked at her, raised her hand and gently rubbed her head, "Jin Yuan told me and your dad last night. I didn't know you were under so much pressure."
Jiang Qingying was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Qin Qing meant, and smiled apologetically, "It's okay, Mom. I feel better now that we've talked things out."
Qin Qing nodded, her gaze sweeping casually across the room, and saw Lu Jinyuan carrying a plate over and placing it in front of Jiang Qingying.
Lu Jinyuan: "You ordered grilled eggplant."
Jiang Qingying stared at the sizzling eggplant on the table, sprinkled with tempting millet peppers, and her mouth watered instantly. Before eating, she casually asked, "Where's my saury?"
Lu Jinyuan said calmly, "I'm working on it. You can do this one first."
"Oh, then hurry up. Grill me a few more skewers of beef. Beef won't make you fat." Jiang Qingying didn't see anything wrong with it at all.
Upon hearing this, he turned around and went back to the barbecue grill, as if he were going back to his workstation. Although he was expressionless, he did not complain at all.
Qin Qing watched the two of them the whole time, then chuckled. Jiang Qingying heard it and asked her what she was laughing at.
"Last night, I just thought Jin Yuan understood you, but now it seems he has spoiled you rotten."
Jiang Qingying remained expressionless. "Really?"
Qin Qing gave her a look, the general meaning being, "You know whether it's true or not," and couldn't help but sigh, "The renowned President Jiang has become like a little girl at home."
Jiang Qingying smiled charmingly and hugged Qin Qing's arm, "I will always be Mommy's little girl."
"Hmm." Qin Qing replied irritably, then ran her index finger along the girl's stomach. "Little girl who's about to become a mother."
Jiang Qingying raised her chin and casually tossed her hair. "Even as a mother, I am still myself."
Qin Qing just smiled. What she said was right, so naturally she wouldn't refute her.
