Chapter 81 May I kiss you?
The sun shone brightly, and the warm light filtered through the thin white gauze into the room. The soft bedding enveloped the beauty, and the light was so bright that it was not dazzling. So she turned over, and her slender, white arm rested on a warm object.
She frowned in suspicion. When she opened her eyes, she saw someone sitting by the bed. Looking down from Qingjun's face, she saw that her arm was hitting that person's thigh, and the position was a little off.
It can easily lead people to have inappropriate thoughts.
"How...how did you get in?"
Jiang Qingying moved her arm away, sat up, her eyes glistening with tears, looking dazed.
Lu Jinyuan laughed, "You just walked in; you didn't lock the door."
He added, "I knocked on the door."
Jiang Qingying squinted, "Did I say I was talking in my sleep and that I agreed to let you in?"
“Yeah, right,” Lu Jinyuan said shamelessly.
Jiang Qingying was amazed by his shamelessness. After thinking for a moment, she asked cautiously, "How long have you been here?"
Lu Jinyuan raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "It'll only take about half an hour."
Jiang Qingying was stunned. So this person had been staring at her intently as she slept for half an hour?
That's a bit perverted.
Lu Jinyuan raised his hand and rubbed her head gently, saying in a soft voice, "I was originally waiting for you downstairs, but Mom said she called you twice and you didn't get up, so she asked me to come in and find you."
Jiang Qingying recalled that she vaguely remembered Qin Qing waking her up.
"Did you stay up late playing on your phone after hanging up the phone last night?" he asked.
Jiang Qingying's expression froze slightly, and she stammered, "Yes, I got hooked on watching the show last night."
"What show?" Lu Jinyuan asked knowingly but didn't say anything. "What time did you stay up last night? Why don't you get some more sleep and go for the check-up tomorrow?"
Jiang Qingying wasn't watching dramas last night; she was so excited by what Lu Jinyuan said that she couldn't sleep. She pushed him away and said, "Mind your own business."
Lu Jinyuan pursed his lips, "Alright, then go wash up."
Jiang Qingying got out of bed, walked past him to the wardrobe, picked out some clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Lu Jinyuan followed behind her. She slammed the frosted glass door shut behind her. Through the blurry glass, he could see her brushing her teeth, washing her face, and then changing her clothes. He noticed her movements pause.
He asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
"..." Jiang Qingying felt she was being teased and, embarrassed and angry, shouted, "Can you get lost?!"
Lu Jinyuan wasn't angry at being scolded; on the contrary, he was in a good mood. He finally saw the side of Jiang Qingying that he used to see in him, no longer so distant. At this moment, she was lively and vibrant.
On second thought, I'm not used to not being scolded. Why is it a bit self-destructive?
"It's just changing clothes, isn't it?" He leaned against the door, arms crossed, and said with interest, "I've seen you without clothes on before."
Jiang Qingying gritted her teeth: "Pay attention to prenatal education, please talk about something wholesome."
Lu Jinyuan didn't seem to mind, "I often help you get dressed."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingying stopped reaching behind her back, her mind replaying those passionate scenes. When she came to her senses, she couldn't button up her bra no matter what she did.
The more anxious she became, the more flustered she got, either failing to button the buttons properly or buttoning the wrong row.
Just as she was about to explode, the bathroom door clicked open. She instinctively covered her chest and glared at him, yelling, "What are you doing!"
"Let me help you." Lu Jinyuan walked behind her, his long fingers fiddling with the metal buckle, carefully adjusting it for her. "Is this okay?"
A soft, warm breath sprayed onto her ear, like being gently brushed by a feather, causing a ticklish sensation. She shifted slightly to the side and said, "Okay."
Lu Jinyuan took in her reaction, a low chuckle escaping his throat. He refrained from teasing her for the time being and carefully helped her button up her clothes.
"Okay." He handed her the clothes, then suddenly said, "They seem to have gotten bigger."
Jiang Qingying followed his gaze, found a certain spot on her body, and glared at him speechlessly: "Nonsense, everyone is like this when they're pregnant."
She pulled the T-shirt over her head, and just before the hem fell down, a pair of arms appeared around her waist. The shirt wrapped around his arms and her body, and her body felt as if it were being enveloped by the man behind her.
Contradictory yet harmonious.
Lu Jinyuan leaned forward, his chest pressed against her back, "But you don't seem to be showing, your waist is still so slim."
Jiang Qingying looked down at her belly, which was indeed not showing. She had seen online that some pregnant women showed their pregnancy after three months, but she was four months pregnant and her belly was only protruding a little. It didn't look like she was pregnant; it looked more like she had eaten too much.
"Isn't this good? You can't tell if you just cover it up with your clothes."
"Mmm, it's fine." Lu Jinyuan lowered his head and buried his face in her shoulder. She struggled slightly, but he tightened his arms around her. "Can I hold you for a while?"
"I haven't made up with you yet." But Jiang Qingying stopped struggling, freeing her hands to apply light makeup, ignoring the person behind her, and letting him hug her from behind.
After spending ten minutes applying foundation, Jiang Qingying patted her hand on her stomach, indicating that he was almost done.
Lu Jinyuan's businessman nature was on full display. He took advantage of the situation and pecked at her neck twice. Then, he lightly slapped her head and gave her a warning.
"No kissing allowed!"
"Alright." Lu Jinyuan sighed, his skill at playing the victim becoming more and more adept.
“...Lu Jinyuan.” Seeing that he was still holding her tightly, Jiang Qingying helplessly reminded him, “You can’t eat before the examination. I’m a little hungry, so we need to get to the hospital quickly. Please let go of me.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyuan let go without hesitation, swallowed back the words he had just rehearsed in his mind, and chuckled awkwardly, touching his nose: "Let's go."
Lu Jinyuan first had Jiang Qingying's blood drawn, and while waiting for the report in the VIP room, he handed her the breakfast he had prepared.
Jiang Qingying was drinking her porridge with her head down when she couldn't ignore the intense gaze directed at her from above. She looked up and asked insincerely, "Have you eaten?"
"No," Lu Jinyuan lied through his teeth.
"I was just asking," she said confidently. "You definitely ate it."
Jiang Qingying was really hungry. She finished a bowl of porridge in no time, and then rinsed her mouth with water. Suddenly, her hand, which was on her lap, was grabbed. She looked over in suspicion and met a pair of deep, affectionate black eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"
"I have something to say to you." Lu Jinyuan took her hand in his large palm and sat closer to her.
Jiang Qingying felt the dampness on the back of her hand and stared at him without blinking.
He was actually nervous.
“I admit that I used scheming to get you to marry me, and our marriage was initially based on mutual benefit. But I know very well that whether it was when I proposed the marriage to you or when I first met you, you were in my heart. I don’t know if this can be called love, but if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had the idea of a marriage alliance. I know very well that if I were to have a marriage alliance, that person could only be you.”
He repeated, "It can only be you, no one else will do."
Jiang Qingying stared at him blankly, then asked naively, "Really?"
Lu Jinyuan nodded, "Putting everything aside, I really want to marry you." He smiled, "Besides, I never intended to hurt you in the whole scheme I set up, and I can't bear to hurt you."
“I have never had a strong need for affection, so after getting married, I only thought about how to be a good husband. I only knew that I had to be good to you, but I ignored what you needed, and I never thought about what you cared about, let alone that it would put you in a dilemma.”
“I’m very sorry about that.” He paused for two seconds and continued, “As for what you said the other day that you weren’t sure if I loved you, I still don’t know how to answer you to make you certain that I do love you, because I’m not really good at expressing what love is either. But you said that love needs to be proven, so please give me some time to prove it.”
Jiang Qingying listened attentively to every word, feeling somewhat at a loss for how to react.
Lu Jinyuan looked at her and smiled, his fingertips gently caressing her face, his eyes brimming with love. "May I kiss you?"
The topic changed a bit too quickly. She parted her red lips, a question escaping her throat: "...Huh?"
"Then I'll take that as a yes." Before the words even reached her ears, he leaned in and lightly pecked her red lips, restraining himself from lingering on the kiss.
By the time Jiang Qingying realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and accused, "I didn't agree."
"Ah... I'm sorry." He apologized without any remorse.
This person...
Lu Jinyuan smiled and took her hand down, calling her name: "Jiang Qingying".
"Huh?" Jiang Qingying was confused. Why call me by my full name?
Lu Jinyuan's deep eyes were filled with intense love, his expression tender and sincere. "I love you, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, and I will always love you."
