Chapter 572: 558, Miss Jian Jumps out the Window (2)_1 Chapter 572: 558, Miss Jian Jumps out the Window (2)_1 Jian Qing leaned against the doorframe, meeting his gaze with a light smile on her lips.
âSweetheart, bring me the water.â The man lazily rested his muscular arm on the treadmill, capturing everyoneâs attention with his relaxed demeanor.
Jian Qing picked up the water cup from besides her, and walked over to him.
Quan Jingwu extended his hand to take the water, tilting his head back as he drank; the seductive movement of his Adamâs apple was captivating.
She watched him with a playful smile, admiring her husbandâs attractiveness.
Soon enough, the cup was empty. Quan Jingwu put down the cup and looked at the woman beside him.
âWant to join me?â
Without a secondâs hesitation, Jian Qing shook her head, âIâve already taken a bath.â
âIâll join you for another one later.â As he spoke, he grabbed her arm, pulling her onto the treadmill.
Jian Qing turned to him, looking up at him, and grimacing, âYouâre all sweaty. Donât get close to me.â
âDisgusting me, huh?â He leaned in closer, his large hand wrapped around her waist, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Jian Qing arched an eyebrow, prodding his sturdy chest with her fingertip. âLook at your drenched clothes. Youâre suffocating me.â
âSweetheart, Iâm so tired.â He rested his forehead against hers, a look of indulgence on his face.
Is he trying to act cute?
He canât possibly be tired from such a little exercise. Heâs clearly just trying to cut corners.
Jian Qingâs lips twitched visibly.
She put her hand against his chest, âStinky, go take a shower.â
âYou help me.â Quan Jingwu took her hand, rubbing his damp hair against her neck, his voice hoarse.
âDream on, youâre not a kid.â Jian Qing tilted her head to the side, giving his shoulder a pat. âStop rubbing against me; youâre getting me all sweaty.â
âThen, letâs shower together.â His lips brushed against her neck unintentionally. Jian Qing felt a tingling sensation rise up from her neck.
A seductive red mole suddenly appeared on her porcelain-like neck.
âQuan Jingwu!â She pushed his head away, her fair skin flushing red.
âCall me husband!â Quan Jingwu corrected her persistently.
Jian Qing, ââŠâ
Is that the point here?
A glint appeared in her eyes and she slipped away from under his arm.
âGo and take a bath. With that sweat, youâre not getting in bed.â A provoking smile played on her lips.
A dangerous gleam flashed in Quan Jingwuâs eyes. He stepped off the treadmill, reaching out to catch her.
âQuan Jingwu, do you really think Iâm a little kitten?â Jian Qing sidestepped his reaching hand, quickly disappearing through the window.
âIf you can catch me, Iâll consider granting you a favor.â
Before she finished speaking, she had already jumped through the open window and vanished.
Her lightning quick movements left Quan Jingwu no time to stop her.
âSweetheart!â
His violet eyes narrowed, he rushed to the window, and in the darkness of the night, saw her safely standing on the lawn.
He let out a sigh of relief and couldnâT help wishing he could capture her and give her a good ticking off.
He spun around and quickly headed out of the gym and began his search for his sweetheart.
In the dark study, a slender figure quietly slipped in. She cautiously closed the door behind her, and a mischievous smile appeared in her glossy eyes.
She looked around the study, her eyes finally settling on the rosewood desk.
Hiding there, Jingwu wonât be able to find her, right?
With the decision made, she ran to the desk and tucked herself beneath it.
The carpet under the desk was soft and comfortable. Leaning against the desk, drowsiness began to tug at her, making her eyelids heavy.
As she enjoyed her peaceful sleep under the desk, Quan Jingwu frantically searched the entire house for her. After what felt like a long time, the study roomâs door finally opened.
The manâs tall frame stepped in, the silence of the study made him furrow his eyebrows, his deep purple eyes scanning every corner of the room slowly.
Suddenly, out of the silence, came a faint rhythmic sound of breathing. His ears perked up to the sound.
His eyes darkened and he quickly walked in the direction of the desk.
The next second, as he looked beneath the desk, the icy look in his eyes melted away, replaced by a tender gaze that seemed to hold a world of warmth.
Under the desk, she was sleeping peacefully with her knees brought up to her chest, the serene expression on her face enhanced by the faint glow around her, making it difficult for anyone to disturb her sleep.
Quan Jingwu squatted, his eyes held a helpless bewilderment. He extended his hand, touching hers. The chill of her skin made him frown.
Jian Qing half opened her eyes, looking sleepily at him, âJingwu!â
Her soft cooing voice crumbled the hardened heart of Jingwu.
âIdiot, why are you sleeping here? Arenât you cold?â He pulled her out from under the desk, lifting her out as Jian Qingâs lips curled into a smile.
âYou took too long to find me, I fell asleep waiting.â
Quan Jingwu didnât argue and simply scooped her into his arms.
âIâll find you faster next time.â
Jian Qing chuckled, content. She wrapped her hand around his neck, and found a comfortable position in his arms, and resumed her sleep.
Quan Jingwu kissed her forehead, his hand around his beloved fairy as he left the study.
Back in the bedroom, Quan Jingwu tucked her into bed then went into the bathroom himself.
The sound of running water filled the air. After awhile, the water faded away into a trickle.
With a towel around his waist, Quan Jingwu stepped onto the carpet, his feet wet. The moisture was immediately absorbed by the soft carpet.
He lifted the covers, about to get into bed, the person beside him rolled to his side, her soft hands instinctively wrapped around his waist.
Quan Jingwu reached up to fondle her head as his large hand enclosed her waist, leaving no space between them.
The moonlight flowed quietly into the room, filling the room with its gentle glow, casting a tranquil light on the couple sleeping in each otherâs arms.

VIP ward
When Chu Ruohan woke up, Jiang Fanâs anxious eyes were all she saw, the air filled with the scent of disinfectant.
âHanhan, how do you feel?â Jiang Fan supported her, his voice filled with worry, âDo you feel uncomfortable anywhere?â
âMom!â Chu Ruohan started to speak, her voice was hoarse, causing her to furrow her eyebrows.
âHanhan, take a sip of water first.â Jiang Fan poured a glass of water, gently handing it to her.
As Chu Ruohan drank the water, she scanned the ward, âWhy are you the only one here? Where are my brothers?â
âDonât you remember? You accidentally fell down at the wedding yesterday. Your brother brought you to the hospital and then rushed back to handle the wedding. He said he would come to see you later.â Jiang Fan offered up an explanation.
Upon hearing the word âweddingâ, Chu Ruohan froze, yesterdayâs events flooding her mind, her memory stopped at the moment she fell.
She remembered there was a lot of blood. Right, blood.
She abruptly grabbed Jiang Fanâs hand, looking at her with a desperate look in her eyes, âMom, am I really pregnant?â
Suddenly, she remembered the two times with Qin Baihao when they did not take any precautions. At that time, she was lost in her hatred for Qin Baihao, she hadnât even thought about what might happen afterwards. It couldnât be those two times, would it? Such a coincidence would be impossible, right?
