Chapter 717: 703, Dog food sweeter than cotton candy (2)_1 Chapter 717: 703, Dog food sweeter than cotton candy (2)_1 âCome on, letâs go shopping for our son.â Jian Qing dragged him away from the baby girl section to prevent his persisting fixation on little dresses.
While choosing clothes for their boy, Quan Jingwu didnât show much enthusiasm. He casually grabbed a few items and tossed them into the shopping cart.
Jian Qing watched his nonchalant behaviour with a speechless expression.
With her arms crossed, she leisurely watched him, speaking, âXiaojing, I think I should take our son back to M Country. I wouldnât want you to neglect him and hurt his feelings.â
Upon hearing this, Quan Jingwu raised his eyebrows and, with a gaze of his purple eyes, wrapped his large hand around her soft waist, pulling her into his arms.
âWho said I donât love our son, huh?â
His voice was low and slightly hoarse.
The storeâs customers had been furtively glancing at the two. At this scene, a few people instinctively gasped.
Whoosh.
In a corner not far away, Song Xirou watched them embracing intimately, almost crushing the handbag she held.
She bit her lip tightly as the taste of blood began to spread in her mouth.
Jingwu, why do you only have eyes for her, why?
âYou were so serious choosing clothes for our daughter, but now you treat picking clothes for our son so casually,â Jian Qing complained.
A classic case of daughters being the apple of their parentsâ eye, while sons are dismissed as unimportant.
âDid I?â Quan Jingwu denied, his voice tinged with laughter.
Jian Qing pinched his chin, âOf course, you did.â
Quan Jingwu: âShould I pick a few more carefully then?â
Jian Qing laughed softly, âThatâs much better.â
After picking the clothes and leaving their address, the couple left.
Song Xirou watched the pair leave and hurriedly followed them.
âXiaojing, could you get me a hot drink?â Jian Qing saw passers-by holding cold drinks and craved one, refusing to leave.
âI promise Iâll only drink a few sips.â Before he could refuse, she spoke with a soft entreaty.
Quan Jingwu, looking down into her bright eyes, was instantly defeated: âYou stay here and wait for me, donât wander off.â
âOkay.â
Watching Quan Jingwu walk into the shop, only then did Jian Qing withdraw her gaze, her eyes suddenly turning cold: âIs it fun following us around?â
Her voice was cold, carrying a hint of ridicule.
Jian Qing turned around as footsteps approached from behind. Looking up at the new arrival, she hooked her lips into a smirk.
âSong Xirou, long time no see. When did you become paparazzi, huh?â
âJian Qing, you must be really pleased, now that youâre pregnant,â Song Xirou stood tall, not wanting to lose her composure in front of Jian Qing.
Jian Qing admitted, her expression smug: âSorry, but Iâve always been pleased. Do you have a problem with that?â
âYouâŠâ Song Xirou saw her looking down on her and her anger stirred, but she somehow managed to suppress it.
âJian Qing, God wonât always stand by your side. What doesnât belong to you will eventually be reclaimed.â
âHa!â
A cold laugh, tinged with a chilling air.
Jian Qing glanced at her, disdainful and contemptuous.
âSong Xirou, whether God stands by my side or not, I donât care. But one thing I can assure you. God will certainly not stand by your side. After all, with a face as ugly as yours, He probably wonât be blind enough to favor you.â
âJian Qing!â Song Xirouâs face turned red with anger. She pointed at her, unable to speak coherently.
Jian Qing cleaned her ears, her gaze sharp as she shot back: âSong Xirou, just because I havenât acted against you, doesnât mean I canât. Remember, if I want to squash you, itâs a matter of minutes. If you truly piss me off, Iâll personally craft a nineteen-level hell for you, understand?â
Looking into her obsidian eyes, the hint of coldness made her catch her breath, as if someone were choking her.
âIf you dare follow us again, Iâll make sure youâre carried away in an ambulance,â Jian Qingâs voice was cold. âGet lost.â
Domineering, prideful, and yet, there was no way to deny her.
Song Xirou glared at her, stamped her foot, and unwillingly left.
Before long, Quan Jingwu returned with the hot drink.
Jian Qing looked at what he was holding, her eyes shining like black obsidian, âCotton candy!â
âDo you want some?â Quan Jingwu, using his height advantage, raised his hand out of her reach.
Jian Qing grabbed his hand, tugging hard: âI want.â
âYou know what to do.â Quan Jingwu lowered his head, leaning his face toward hers.
Jian Qing looked at his handsome face near her and wrapped her arms around his neck, adroitly giving him a peck, âThat should be enough, right?â
âBarely enough.â
Quan Jingwu saw her stretching to reach the candy and fearing she might hurt herself, gave her the cotton candy without teasing her further.
Jian Qing held the cotton candy, her eyes curved with joy.
Sweetness spread on her tongue as she tore off a piece of cotton candy and put it in her mouth.
âXiaojing, you try.â She tore off a piece and brought it to his mouth.
Quan Jingwuâs eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth to eat the cotton candy she was feeding him, biting down on her fingers in the process.
To be precise, he was sucking on her fingers.
âLet go now, my fingers.â The warmth of his tongue wrapping around her fingers made Jian Qingâs cheeks burn.
âWeâre being watched.â
Passersby stopped to watch the two, some even took out their phones and started taking photos.
Ever since they started dating, they had become trending topics, and probably everyone in Beijing recognized them.
They attracted as much attention as top-tier celebrities whenever they appeared in public.
Seeing her cheeks flushed, Quan Jingwu finally let her go. Jian Qing quickly retracted her fingers, glaring at him with feigned anger.
âChildish.â
âCome on, letâs go to Qianshi Restaurant for a meal.â Quan Jingwu took her hand, and as Jian Qing didnât enjoy being gawked at, she quickened her pace to get away.
Before the two of them could reach Qianshi Restaurant, the photos taken by passers-by had already spread like wildfire.
In a private room, a mournful sound rang out.
A hearty voice tinged with a touch of resentment.
âJingwu is too unscrupulous. Showing off their love all the time, donât they know how to pity us singletons?â
Han Yue held his phone, nearly choking on his wine.
âWhat are you whining about?â Quan Mingxuan was sitting across from him, checking the report handed over by the manager, not even lifting his head.
âSee for yourself.â Han Yue threw his phone at him and took another sip of his wine.
Quan Mingxuan caught the phone and took a glance. The screen showed Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu eating cotton candy. He chuckled.
No wonder they didnât invite him along. It turned out the pair were on a date.
Such disloyalty.
Quan Mingxuan looked at the phone, his eyes flickering. Without a sound, he opened Han Yueâs motherâs avatar and quickly typed a message.
