Chapter 346: chapter 346

When Lu Lixing came back from overtime in the evening, Ji Qingqing was already fast asleep.Without alerting her, he quietly went to the cloakroom to get his pajamas and untied the bow tie tied around his neck, but it accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Lu Lixing bowed to pick it up. When he got up, he saw something peculiar in the drawer.It was a carelessly hidden plastic bag among some folded clothes.Lu Lixing opened the drawer and took out the clothes. Several plastic bags appeared in front of him, some were opened while some were not.So much junk food…Lu Lixing wryly smiled.Ji Qingqing fell asleep in a daze and was awakened by a pang of hunger in her stomach. As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed the light in the cloakroom.Lu Lixing?She got up while supporting her stomach with one hand. She walked slowly to the cloakroom and called out loud, “Husband? Are you back?”Oh no!Ji Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, seeing Lu Lixing in a daze with the opened bags of snacks in his hands.Lu Lixing turned his head and looked at her with a smile on his face. “Was it you who hid it here?”Ji Qingqing firmly denied it. “No!”Lu Lixing brought the bag of snacks out of the closet.Don’t take it out!Putting the snacks aside at will, Lu Lixing asked her, “How much did you eat?”Ji Qingqing pretended to be thirsty and drank water from the edge of the sofa. She felt guilty and was afraid to look him directly in the eye. Besides… she was indeed in the wrong this time.After a long stare-off contest, she finally conceded.“Just… a little bit.”“A little bit?”“Three or four packs.”“Three or four packs?”“A small bag of potato chips and a pack of spicy strips.”Lu Lixing narrowed his eyes slightly. “Really?”“Really! I swear, I will never eat junk food again. I’ll throw these away tomorrow!”Ji Qingqing thought for a while but changed his words. “No, you can throw it away tomorrow morning. If Aunt Pei sees me, I’ll have to be nagged by her again.”“Now you do remember that Aunt Pei warned you about eating junk food?”Ji Qingqing lowered her head glumly, feeling dejected.“I’m pregnant with a child, I know that these things aren’t good for my health. I won’t eat too much. I just really wanted to relieve my cravings… I haven’t even eaten all that much at all.”“I checked it up on the Internet, so I’m sure it won’t affect our child. If it’s really a big deal for you… I won’t eat these again in the future.”Listening to Ji Qingqing’s grievances and complaints, Lu Lixing smiled helplessly. “I don’t mean to blame you. I know you’ve worked hard recently, but you don’t have to hide like this.”“Look what I brought you back.”Lu Lixing brought out a small cake box from the table.“I sneaked it in so that Aunt Pei wouldn’t notice. Didn’t you want to eat cream cake yesterday?”“I brought you a small piece back. You should finish it quickly. I’ll take the box out and throw it away tomorrow morning so that Aunt Pei won’t be able to see it.”Ji Qingqing was delighted. She hurriedly scooped out a little bit and put it in her mouth. The sweet cream and soft cake instantly dispelled her dejected mood.“Husband, thank you! I know you love me the most! This cake is so delicious!”“Don’t throw away those snacks, just put them here, and eat them after the baby is born.”Ji Qingqing’s eyes lit up. “Really?”“Of course, would I lie to you?”Ji Qingqing kissed him contentedly on the cheek and the ‘haze’ in her heart was completely swept away. “Husband, I love you!”Lu Lixing laughed helplessly.Such a vengeful little brat.When he called her this morning and failed to promise to bring her snacks, she said that he was hateful.In order to reassure Ji Qingqing, Lu Lixing put the bags of snacks back in the closet and covered it with clothes.However, the next day, Aunt Pei, who was cleaning the room, found them.Aunt Pei looked at the bag of snacks and was shocked. She exclaimed horrifiedly, “This is… what is this? Snacks? Junk food?”It was as if Aunt Pei seemed to not have uncovered snacks but to have uncovered a ticking time bomb.“Qingqing, did you buy it? How much did you eat?”Not able to withstand the pressure, Ji Qingqing pushed the pot to Lu Lixing. “I didn’t buy it, Lixing bought it.”So in the evening, when Lu Lixing came back tired from work, he was confronted by Aunt Pei and was stuck in the living room, being nagged for over 20 minutes.“Young master, I told you, how can you buy these junk foods for her to eat? She’s pregnant, these kinds of food are unhealthy for her child and her body.”“I know I’m not qualified to delve too much into your matter, but you’re also about to be a father… how can you be so inattentive? Can these types of food be eaten casually? What should we do if something goes wrong?”Lu Lixing nodded his head again and again, not daring to speak.On one side, Ji Qingqing listened guiltily and also didn’t dare to speak.Suddenly, a wave of severe stomach pain engulfed her.“Husband, my stomach hurts…”
