Chapter 800: 786, Can cake be exchanged for roses? (4)_1 Chapter 800: 786, Can cake be exchanged for roses? (4)_1 Looking at the silhouette not far away, Quan Jingwuâs lips slightly lifted.
He lightened his steps, even his breathing was cautious.
Just a few short steps, but it felt as if heâd crossed centuries.
Jian Qing was bent over, trimming the thorns on the flower stems. When she heard movement behind her, she assumed it was the usual customers coming by. The clerk had already chased them away, so she didnât pay much attention.
But something about the sound of those footsteps felt wrong.
She frowned, about to turn around after putting down the scissors, when a manâs arm reached around her from behind, pulling her into a full embrace.
The cold aroma, the familiar arms holding her. Without even turning her head, she could clearly picture that enchanting face in her mind.
Her eyes momentarily faltered, the hand that had been holding the flower stems stiffened in mid-air, not daring to move.
It wasnât that she didnât want to turn around, but that she feared the moment she did, it would all be a dream, followed by emptiness and disappointment.
A bright, radiant smile formed at the corners of Quan Jingwuâs mouth as he held the woman in his arms. It was as if his lost soul was now complete.
Finally, she was in his arms again!
Noticing that the woman in his arms made no movements, he lifted the small cake he had bought and placed it before her. His magnetizing voice echoed softly, âCan I exchange my cake for the rose in your hand, hm?â
Before he finished speaking, the pruned rose slid from her hand. Seeing the exquisite cake, her eyes reddened.
She looked down at the manly hand encircling her waist. The wedding ring on his long fingers was glowing brightly.
Barely holding back her tears, she slowly turned around. Looking at Jian Qingâs wilted face, Quan Jingwuâs heart ached.
It was all his fault. How could he make her so feeble?
Jian Qing slightly lifted her head, her gaze inadvertently met his captivating purple eyes, which reflect her entire self back at her.
In an instant, her long-stilled heart began to throb again.
Thump thump thumpâŠ
All of a sudden, tears dripped down her face like pearls from a broken string.
Seeing her cry, Quan Jingwuâs heart twisted in pain.
He hastily put down the cake, held her tight, and with a deep voice, he softly cooed, âShh, donât cry, itâs my fault. Iâll let you punish me, okay? Donât cry, alright?â
His biggest weakness was seeing her cry. Just one of her tears could shatter his world.
Unable to stop her tears, her fair hands clutched his shirt as she sobbed, âI donât want the cake, I want you, I want Quan Jingwu.â
The tears she had held back for a month finally broke free. The fear and worry of the past month, fearing that he would leave her, fear that he no longer wanted her and their baby.
Her choked words were like defenseless attacks on his heart.
Quan Jingwuâs purple eyes were deep, full of compassion as he tilted his head, his lips brushing against her ear, âI missed you so much, Mrs. Quan, Iâm back!â
As the manâs deep voice echoed in her ear, Jian Qing buried herself in his chest, crying again. Now, she seemed like a wronged child, so pitiful that it hurt him.
âYou liar, Quan Jingwu, youâre a liar. I donât want to see you only in my dreams, to wake up and find you gone. I donât want the you who exists only in my dreams, I donât wantâŠâ
It was always like this, as soon as she woke up and he was still asleep, it was all an illusion.
Her rolling tears fell like a breaking dam, wetting her cheeks and soaking his shirt, scalding his heart.
Quan Jingwu cradled her face, her tear-streaked visage stabbed at his heart. He leaned down to kiss her lips, swallowing up her sobbing words.
His cool lips imprinted on her soft, red lips, rolling over each other. The sparkling tears seeped into their joined lips.
The slight bitterness, his heart ached beyond words.
The clerks who were standing around had been completely stunned by the scene before them. They were deeply moved.
So it turns out that the usually cold and indifferent Jian Qing could cry too. The man who was always full of confidence and spirit could also show such a heartache expression, and could gently coax a woman too.
Perhaps this was the epitome of what they say, spoiling someone to the core and loving them to the extreme!
After releasing her, Quan Jingwu used the tips of his fingers to wipe away the tear trails from her face, but the tears just wouldnât stop. His voice hoarse, he softly coaxed, âBaby, stop crying, okay? Feel me, Iâve really woken up, this isnât a dream, your Quan Jingwu is back.â
He guided her hand to his face. Jian Qing stared at him greedily as if he would disappear the moment she blinked.
As her tears continued to flow freely, Quan Jingwu, who was normally fearless, was driven into a state of panic.
He swiftly scooped her up in a princess carry, causing the surrounding clerks to swoon.
Wow, talk about boyfriend material!
A clerk near the entrance helped to open the door. Holding Jian Qing, Quan Jingwu walked out, opened the car door and gently placed her inside, then went around to the other side to get in himself.
The clerks rushed out, watching as the black sports car disappeared in a cloud of dust.
âCould the rumors be true? Did CEO Quan really fall into a coma and only just wake up?â speculated the girl with twin braids, as she watched the disappearing car silhouette.
The store manager shook his head. âIt seems likely, but itâs better if we donât involve ourselves in the coupleâs affairs. Letâs go, letâs get back to our work.â
The clerks nodded, turned around and walked back.
Just as they turned, they ran into Snowballâs black eyes.
âUm⊠Seems like Mrs. Quan forgot to take it with her.â One of the girls swallowed hard as she spoke.
Snowball stared at them, looking around without spotting Jian Qing. Its fiery temper flared up.
It just went to the restroom, where did the beauty go?
And it seemed to have caught the scent of its master just now.
Could the master have come?
This thought excited it. It shook its fluffy, white fur and started hopping around with its paws.
âOh my gosh, we should call Mr. Jian Luo right away and ask him to come get it.â The girl with twin braids, seeing Snowballâs unusually excited behavior, quickly stepped aside.
