Chapter 117 How about I take a bite for you?
The next morning, Jiang Qingying went to the Lin family to lend her support. When she arrived, Lin Tingwan was putting on makeup, and she smiled when she saw her.
"You're here!" Lin Tingwan opened her arms and asked for a hug.
Jiang Qingying bent down and hugged her. "You look beautiful today."
"Of course." Lin Tingwan touched her dress. "I'm the bride today."
"Yo yo—" Nan Chun, who was packing her things, teased her when she heard this: "When you first got up, who was it that was complaining that they didn't sleep well last night, with a puffy face and obvious dark circles under their eyes?"
Lin Tingwan glanced at Nan Chun coquettishly, "I'm all done with my makeup now, I look so pretty."
Jiang Qingying smiled and handed the prepared gift to Lin Tingwan, "Hey, happy marriage, and may you have a big, healthy baby soon, just like me."
Lin Tingwan was initially delighted to see the gift box, but upon hearing her last sentence, her face turned so red that she no longer needed blush.
"I...I still have a long way to go."
Jiang Qingying smiled and said, "Just kidding. Open the gift and see if you like it."
Lin Tingwan looked at the huge gift box in her hand, which felt heavy. She carefully opened it and found a golden phoenix crown inside. The crown was exquisitely crafted, with gold threads intertwined to form dragons and phoenixes, and was adorned with many pearls of different sizes, making it luxurious and grand.
Her mouth gaped open, and she stared at Jiang Qingying in shock. "This... is too valuable."
Seeing her still in a daze, the people around her looked over curiously, and the next second they were full of praise and amazement.
"Didn't I promise you that on my wedding day?" Jiang Qingying replied casually.
Lin Tingwan was at a loss for words. "But...but I just said it casually. I was joking."
Jiang Qingying smiled gently: "But I took it seriously."
Lin Tingwan was so moved she almost cried. She pouted, trying to hold back her tears, her expression both cute and awkward. "If you weren't pregnant, I would definitely be holding you and spinning you around a few times right now."
Jiang Qingying said irritably, "Alright, don't cry on your wedding day, it's bad luck."
“Yeah, Wanwan, don’t cry. You’ll ruin your makeup and the makeup artist will cry too.” Nan Chun also comforted her, and joked, “Besides, this is nothing to our President Jiang. It’s just a matter of swiping his wallet.”
Jiang Qingying glanced at Nan Chun and said, "I still love money, okay?"
Lin Tingwan forced back her tears. "Let's take pictures together. After we finish taking pictures in this morning robe, we'll change into the Xiuhe dress and put on the phoenix crown you gave me."
“But didn’t you decide on your look a long time ago?” Jiang Qingying said.
Lin Tingwan turned to look at the stylist.
The stylist understood immediately, saying, "A temporary modification isn't out of the question."
Lin Tingwan grinned happily, "Come on, let's take a picture together, the three of us sisters."
The photographer had been waiting outside the room and came in immediately when he heard them calling to take pictures of the three of them.
After taking several sets of photos, Lin Tingwan changed into a Xiuhe dress, put on the phoenix crown that Jiang Qingying had given her, felt heavy on her head, and said coquettishly, "It's so heavy."
"Then why don't you give me this phoenix crown?" Nan Chun joked.
Lin Tingwan protectively held onto the mountain of gold above her head, "Why are you taking mine? Do you think Qingying is being unfair and not giving you any?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qingying, who was resting to the side, picked up the fruit plate and ate one bite after another, smiled but didn't say anything.
"My boss, Jiang, has always been generous." Nan Chun sat down next to Jiang Qingying with a somewhat obsequious air, took her arm, and asked, "I have some too, right?"
"Can you not have it?" Jiang Qingying retorted.
Nan Chun was overjoyed, and then she heard her say something while eating fruit.
So when are you getting married?
Nan Chun remained expressionless, picked up her phone and glanced at it seriously, "Hey, who sent me a message? I'll reply to it first."
Jiang Qingying scoffed lightly, "Such good acting skills," but her phone never rang.
After Lin Tingwan changed into her Xiuhe dress, the three of them took another set of photos. Jiang Qingying had almost exhausted her energy from the morning, so she picked up a half-eaten fruit platter and ate while watching the bridesmaids take photos.
After she finished the fruit platter, she saw Lu Jinyuan standing at the door and knocked.
Lin Tingwan: "President Lu, are you looking for Qingying? Please come in."
Lu Jinyuan nodded and said to Lin Tingwan, "Happy wedding."
Lin Tingwan smiled, "Thank you, President Lu."
After exchanging greetings, Lu Jinyuan walked up to Jiang Qingying, squatted down to be at eye level with her, and said, "I think it's about time. The wedding procession is coming soon, and there are too many people. Why don't you go out first?"
Jiang Qingying thought about it and realized that the room would definitely be crowded when there were more people. She had heard that there would be some games to play during the wedding procession, and it seemed a bit of a downer for her to just stand there.
"You can go to the hotel first. I've arranged a room for Qingying to rest." Lin Tingwan usually seems a bit naive and unreliable, but in reality, she's more meticulous and thoughtful than many others.
“Okay, let’s go to the hotel first.” Jiang Qingying stood up and placed her palm on the back of Lin Tingwan’s hand. “Don’t be nervous later.”
Lin Tingwan was stunned, and then slowly retorted, "I'm not nervous."
"Hmm, you're not nervous." Jiang Qingying went along with her words, but anyone with eyes could see that she was very nervous.
Jiang Qingying then instructed Nan Chun, "Keep an eye on her."
Nan Chun nodded, suppressing a laugh: "Yeah, with me here, don't worry about it, go and get some rest."
-
They said goodbye to Lin Tingwan and the others for the time being.
Jiang Qingying and Lu Jinyuan drove themselves to the hotel where the wedding banquet would be held that evening. Lin Tingwan had instructed the receptionist in advance to lead them directly to the lounge upon arrival.
Jiang Qingying sat on the bed and yawned listlessly.
Lu Jinyuan noticed and asked her, "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit," Jiang Qingying replied. "It's probably because I just ate a whole fruit platter and I felt sleepy because I was full."
Lu Jinyuan: "Do you want to take a nap?"
Jiang Qingying took a moment to assess the situation and said truthfully, "But I don't feel very sleepy. I can't always eat and sleep, and then eat again after waking up."
Lu Jinyuan smiled slightly, "It's okay, you're in your late pregnancy, so you can indulge yourself a little in the last bit of time."
Jiang Qingying still refused; it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be fast asleep in her room while her best friend was getting married.
Lu Jinyuan didn't force her. He walked over to her, took off her shoes, and casually placed them on the bedside table. Then he began to massage her feet. Her hands and feet had been swollen a lot recently and were prone to cramps, so he would massage them for her whenever he had free time.
"My feet look like pig's feet," Jiang Qingying joked. "They're so white and cute, I want to take a bite."
When she said her first words, Lu Jinyuan thought she was upset and was about to comfort her when he heard her follow-up sentence. His massaging hand instantly stopped moving.
You might not be able to bend down.
"......"
Do you need to tell me? With such a big belly in the middle, who can bend down?
"How about I take a bite for you?"
Lu Jinyuan, without batting an eye, teased her with his handsome poker face showing no change in expression.
Jiang Qingying frowned and kicked him hard in the chest.
