Pregnancy (Part 3)
Ruan Qi was startled by Xi Jiu's sudden stand up.
Before she could say anything else, Xi Jiu rushed to her with a few big strides.
Ruan Qi suddenly became nervous.
"Jiujiu..."
She opened her mouth, wanting to apologize.
"sorry……"
"Baby, I'm sorry."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment and looked up at the man in front of her.
"Jiujiu, why are you apologizing to me?"
"Baby, why are you apologizing to me?"
The two voices sounded again at the same time.
After asking, both of them were silent for a moment, and then -
"Because I made you sad this morning."
"Because I made you angry this morning."
Once again, two people spoke at the same time: "..."
The air around them was quiet for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, a light puff came out of Ruan Qi's mouth.
She curled her eyes and looked at Xi Jiu with a smile.
Xi Jiu also raised his thin lips, and his face, which had been tense all day, finally showed a smile.
He reached out, closed the office door, then grabbed Ruan Qi's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
The familiar fragrance of Ruan Qi suddenly lingered in the air.
Xi Jiu sucked deeply on her neck as if sucking a cat, and said slowly in a low voice, "Baby, you're not angry anymore?"
Ruan Qi raised her arms and put her arms around his waist, shaking her head.
"I shouldn't have been angry in the first place. Jiujiu, I was wrong this morning. I shouldn't have been unreasonable. I'm sorry."
"Baby isn't being unreasonable." Xi Jiu raised her hand and ruffled her long, soft hair. "It's my fault that I didn't cook well enough. I didn't even let the baby have the pudding. Don't be sad, okay? I went to the old house this morning to get the ingredients for the pudding, and I'll make it for you when I get home tonight."
Ruan Qi felt even more regretful when she thought about how Xi Jiu was inexplicably angry in the morning and had to run to the old house to get her the ingredients for the pudding.
She sniffed her sore nose, raised her head, hooked her arms around Xi Jiu's neck, and tiptoed to give him a light kiss on the lips.
"Thank you, Jiujiu. I'm sorry for making you feel wronged today."
With just these words, Xi Jiu's heart softened into a pool of sweet water.
He put his arm around Ruan Qi's waist, leaned down, and nuzzled her nose affectionately with his nose. "I'm not feeling wronged. Baby is so nice, what's wrong with losing your temper? I'm just worried that you'll get angry at yourself. If I make you angry again in the future, you can hit me or scold me, but don't slam the door and leave to cry secretly, okay?"
The man was so tolerant and gentle that Ruan Qi almost cried.
She looked at him, nodded, and then shook her head: "I will never lose my temper with you again. Jiujiu, I don't know what happened to me this morning. I suddenly felt a strong force in my heart, and it was very uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I've been too busy with work recently and I'm not in a good mood. In the future, I will control my emotions and won't make trouble anymore."
After hearing this, something seemed to flash through Xi Jiu's mind.
But before he could catch that thought, Ruan Qi picked up the food box in her hand.
"I sent a message to Assistant Mu before I came here, and he said you hadn't eaten all day. You've been busy for so long, and it's not good for your health to be hungry. Jiujiu, can we have something to eat together?"
Ruan Qi was holding the lunch box and looking at him with sparkling eyes.
How could Xi Jiu refuse such a big treasure? He directly reached out to take the food box and pulled her to the sofa in the rest area.
Ruan Qi sat down on the sofa and reached out to open the lid of the lunch box.
"These dishes are freshly made. The food boxes have insulation function and are still hot." As she spoke, she took out the food and arranged it.
Then, he took out two pairs of chopsticks from his bag and handed one to Xi Jiu.
"Jiujiu, eat."
Ruan Qi's eyes were bright and her expectant look was like a kitten waiting to be fed.
Xi Jiu's heart softened. He reached out to take the chopsticks, then picked up a large piece of honey-glazed pork ribs and put it into Ruan Qi's bowl.
"Babies eat too."
Ruan Qi hummed, picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat when someone suddenly knocked on the office door.
Xi Jiu put down his bowl and chopsticks and called out "Come in".
The next second, the door was pushed open and Assistant Mu walked in with bags in his hands.
"Boss, I've already bought bunny cakes, bunny bread, bunny cups of yogurt, bunny-shaped ice cream, and a few pounds of spicy rabbit heads, just as you ordered. Do you think these are enough? If not, I'll go get more... Madam?!"
Assistant Mu walked along and read out the menu all the way until he was about to reach the rest area. When he looked up, he realized that he saw Ruan Qi.
He opened his eyes wide in shock and almost dropped the bags in his hands to the ground.
"Husband, Madam, when did you come?" Didn't you say you had a fight with the boss?
So what is the situation now?
Assistant Mu looked confused.
Ruan Qi smiled and waved at him, greeting him familiarly: "Assistant Mu, long time no see."
"..." Assistant Mu came back to his senses, "Hello, long time no see."
Ruan Qi's gaze shifted from his face to the shopping bag in his hand. "What did you say just now? What did you buy according to Jiujiu's instructions? Spicy rabbit head?"
Assistant Mu didn't know whether to answer or not, and looked at Xi Jiu inquiringly.
Xi Jiu was silent for a moment, stood up, and took the shopping bag from him.
"I asked Assistant Mu to buy them." He sat back on the sofa with the shopping bags, then pushed several large bags in front of Ruan Qi. "You didn't have bunny pudding this morning, and I can't make it for you right now. So I asked Assistant Mu to buy some other bunny-shaped snacks. I was originally planning to apologize to you with these snacks when I got home tonight, but I didn't expect you to come here first. Take a look at these snacks, baby, do you like them?"
Xi Jiu laid out all the snacks as if he were presenting treasures.
Ruan Qi looked at the dazzling array of 'little rabbits' in front of her, including real rabbit spicy rabbit heads, and felt both amused and touched.
"I like to eat them all." Her nose felt sour again, "As long as Jiujiu buys them, I like to eat them all."
After hearing this, Xi Jiu's heart finally settled down.
He put the spread-out snacks back into the shopping bag, then said to Ruan Qi, "We'll eat the snacks later. Let's eat first."
Assistant Mu had already retreated tactfully.
Ruan Qi picked up the bowl again, picked up the piece of pork ribs that Xi Jiu gave her, and put it into her mouth.
The honey-glazed spareribs tasted very good, sweet but not greasy. Ruan Qi, who originally had no appetite, was tempted by the taste.
She quickly finished her ribs and reached over to grab another piece.
In this way, piece by piece, a large plate of honey-glazed pork ribs was eaten in less than five minutes.
Xi Jiu, who was sitting at the side and eating leisurely, looked at the empty plate and paused. Before he could say anything, Ruan Qi stretched out his chopsticks to the braised pork next to it.
Then, piece after piece, Ruan Qi, who usually doesn't like pork belly, finished the whole plate of braised pork at an extremely fast speed!
This time, Xi Jiu couldn't sit still anymore.
"Baby," he stopped Ruan Qi from picking up some food, his eyes showing worry, "Did you eat a little too much today?"
Ruan Qi uttered an "Huh?" without noticing anything.
"Not much. I'm not full yet."
This is a capable cook.
