Chapter 80 I said, I love you.
Friday night a week later.
Wolfgang: [You'll be doing your Down syndrome screening tomorrow morning. After 12 PM, you must abstain from food and water. Don't forget.]
I don't want to lend money: [I know.]
Wolfgang: [Okay, then you get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.]
Not lending money: [Oh.]
After a brief chat, Jiang Qingying tossed her phone aside to prepare for a shower, unaware that a message had arrived the moment she put it down.
The phone, lying alone on the bed, lit up and lit up until it finally rang.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Qingying was still taking a shower in the bathroom when she suddenly heard Qin Qing calling her from outside the door.
She raised her voice, "What's wrong, Mom? I'm taking a shower."
Qin Qing: "Jin Yuan said you didn't reply to her messages and didn't answer her calls. She thought something had happened to you and sent me to check on you."
Jiang Qingying looked suspicious and quickened her pace. "I'm just taking a shower."
"I understand. Don't take too long in the shower." Qin Qing held up the phone and said to the person on the other end, "It's okay. She's just taking a shower and didn't see your message for a moment. Don't worry too much."
Lu Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you for your help."
Qin Qing smiled, "No trouble at all, I'll have Xiaoying call you back after she takes a shower."
Lu Jinyuan: "Okay, Mom, please get some rest and take care of yourself. I won't bother you any longer."
Qin Qing: "Hey, you too."
Jiang Qingying came out of the bathroom, and Qin Qing was waiting in the room with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing like that?"
Qin Qing's smile faded, but her voice still held a strong sense of amusement. "I think Jin Yuan was quite frightened. It was just a short while since he answered the phone. I've never seen him so clingy before."
Jiang Qingying had just finished a hot shower and was still steaming. Being teased made her feel like she was about to burst into flames.
"What...?"
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You should call Jin Yuan back right away." Qin Qing turned to leave, then turned back to remind him, "Get some rest and don't talk on the phone for too long."
Jiang Qingying muttered under her breath, "Who wants to talk to him on the phone?"
After Qin Qing left, Jiang Qingying picked up her phone from the bed and saw that the lock screen showed ten unread messages.
Wolfgang: [Dog Egg sticking out its tongue/photo]
Wolfgang: [Dog Egg said he misses you.]
Wolfgang: [He can't speak human language, but actually it's me thinking of you.]
Wolfgang: [Wife, I miss you, I miss you so much.]
Wolfgang: [Don't ignore my messages.]
Wolfgang: [Wife, where are you?]
Wolfgang: [Don't you like hearing these things?]
Wolfgang: [I was wrong, I'll never say those things again.]
Wolfgang: [Please reply to me, otherwise I'm really worried.]
Wolfgang: [What happened to you?]
Wolfgang: [The other party has canceled the call]
Jiang Qingying looked at the message history on her phone and her face turned bright red. She seriously suspected that Lu Jinyuan was possessed by a ghost.
I won't lend you money: [What's wrong with you?]
Wolfgang: [You finally replied to my message.]
I won't lend you money: [I'm taking a shower, what could possibly happen?]
Wolfgang: [But I'm getting anxious when you don't reply to my messages.]
No lending money: [???]
Jiang Qingying no longer doubted that he was possessed by a ghost.
Wolfgang: [Do you like it when I say I miss you?]
No lending money: [???]
Wolfgang: [What does the question mark mean?]
Jiang Qingying stared at the screen for a while before slowly typing out a few words.
Not lending money: [meaning shy.]
Wolfgang: [So that means you like someone, right?]
Not lending money: [...]
Wolfgang: [Do you like it?]
Not lending money: [...You're a bit naive.]
Wolfgang: [Childish is fine, whatever you like.]
Jiang Qingying didn't want to reply to him anymore.
On the other end, Lu Jinyuan stared at the screen, his smile both gentle and unrestrained. He turned his head to look at Gou Dan at his feet and said with ill intent, "Want to video chat with your mother?"
Gou Dan, who had just been coerced into taking photos, stared at him without saying a word.
"Yes, I know you really want to."
Dog Egg turned his head away, indicating that he didn't want to pay attention to his father who had suddenly become stupid. Just as he was about to run back to the doghouse, he was picked up.
Lu Jinyuan pressed it onto his lap and tapped his fingers on the phone.
Wolfgang: [Dog Egg said he wants to video chat with you.]
I won't lend you money: [You can even understand dog language?]
Wolfgang: [Yes, I just had an in-depth conversation with it.]
Jiang Qingying knew exactly what his purpose was, and she burst out laughing.
Not lending money: [When did you two become so friendly?]
Wolfgang: [I just love the house because of its owner.]
Jiang Qingying didn't reply for a minute.
Lu Jinyuan hesitated for a moment, then cautiously sent a message.
Wolfgang: [I said, I love you.]
Wolfgang: [That's why I love it.]
Jiang Qingying was burning up with fever. She rolled around on the bed, clutching her pillow. If it weren't for her pregnancy, she might have needed to run around the room a few times to calm down.
Wolfgang: [My wife, why have you disappeared again?]
Wolfgang: [Please acknowledge me.]
I replied to him five minutes later.
I won't lend you money: [Did you damage your brain in the car accident?]
I won't lend you money: [Or who taught you to say that?]
Wolfgang: [No one taught me; I'm perfectly lucid.]
Wolfgang: [I know perfectly well that I love you. I want you to know that.]
The chat stopped for another five minutes.
Lu Jinyuan couldn't contain himself and asked if they could video chat.
Jiang Qingying looked in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with laughter, her fair cheeks flushed with a rosy glow.
No, I can't let him see me like this.
Not lending money: [I'm going to sleep.]
I won't lend you money: [You'll see me tomorrow anyway.]
Wolfgang: [Shall we make a phone call?]
Jiang Qingying considered it for a moment, then took the initiative to call him. The next second, Qinglie's voice came through the phone.
"Hello."
Jiang Qingying cleared her throat quietly, "Mmm."
Lu Jinyuan held the phone to his ear, and could vaguely hear her breathing. He chuckled and asked, "How have you been these past few days?"
"It's fine." Jiang Qingying lay down on the bed, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, and murmured, "Um... how's Gou Dan?"
Lu Jinyuan was stunned, glanced at Gou Dan, and chuckled: "It's perfectly fine."
"That's good. Remember to take good care of it."
"It misses you so much, when are you coming back?"
"......"
"I miss you more than it does, will you consider it?"
"...No."
Lu Jinyuan seemed to hear her suppressing a laugh. After thinking for a moment, he didn't force her. He hadn't expected to be able to appease her so quickly.
Jiang Qingying: "I'm sleepy, let's leave it at that for now."
"Wife," Lu Jinyuan called to her, pausing for two seconds, "I love you, I really love you."
A gentle and tender voice, mixed with a slight electrical hum, entered my ears, like the sound of a zither carried on a gentle breeze. The melodious sound meandered to my heart, stirring my soul.
"I...I..."
Jiang Qingying hesitated for a long time before finally changing her mind and saying, "I understand."
Lu Jinyuan chuckled softly, satisfied, and said, "It's enough that you know."
He added, "Get some rest. I'll pick you up for your prenatal checkup tomorrow."
"Okay, bye-bye."
Jiang Qingying said goodbye very quickly, and even the act of hanging up the phone was instantaneous, as if she was afraid that she would burst out laughing the next second.
Lu Jinyuan, on the other end, only had time to hear a "beep" sound. He stared blankly at the black screen of his phone. After a while, he turned to Gou Dan and said, "I think I scared your mom."
Dog Egg: You know that much is good.
Dog Egg: Your gentle side is really scary.
Lu Jinyuan was human, so naturally he couldn't know what it was thinking. But the next second, Gou Dan saw an even more terrifying side of it.
Lu Jinyuan shoved his wine glass into Gou Dan's face. "The first step of the revolution has been taken. Cheers!"
Dog Egg: Damn it!
