Chapter 115 Children are easy to coax
Because Zhuang Qingxiang was afraid of getting pregnant again, she resolutely forbade Lu Congyue from doing anything reckless. So the two of them simply kissed and touched each other, which was quite enjoyable.
So, without checking the time, they waited until they heard Xiao Qianyue banging on the door and shouting before hurriedly straightening their clothes and opening the door.
Xiao Qianyue looked puzzled: "Why is it closed today?"
Lu Congyue said nonchalantly, "I closed the door because I was afraid someone I disliked would come in."
"I know, it's that bad guy who pinched my brother, isn't it?" Xiao Qianyue said indignantly. "Yes, we should close the door and keep bad guys out!"
Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at Lu Congyue, and when their eyes met, Lu Congyue raised an eyebrow: "Kids are easy to coax."
Zhuang Qingxiang suppressed a laugh and solemnly echoed her.
After dinner, Lu Congyue took charge of cleaning up, while Zhuang Qingxiang, taking advantage of the children's still-energetic state, hurried to finish her embroidery.
What should have been a half-day task was left unfinished because Lu Congyue suddenly took a break at home.
Male beauty... can lead to trouble!
Zhuang Qingxiang secretly despised herself, carefully split a strand of embroidery thread, and continued with her head down.
Knowing that Lu Congyue was going on a long trip, Xiao Qianyue was reluctant to part with him and kept clinging to him. Lu Congyue patiently played along with her antics and also had to soothe two babies, which allowed Zhuang Qingxiang to focus more on her work without distractions.
As night deepened, the two children became restless due to sleepiness, so Zhuang Qingxiang put down her needlework and coaxed them to sleep.
Little Qianyue had already gone to get water to wash up and obediently climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed) to lie down.
After the child fell asleep, Zhuang Qingxiang continued with her work.
Lu Congyue looked at the three children and the adult at the door, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.
He didn't want to leave, not even a little bit. This was his home!
"I'll just take a look and be right back, it'll be quick," he couldn't help but say.
"Mm," Zhuang Qingxiang responded, then, as if remembering something, whispered, "No need to rush, your matter is important."
Lu Congyue hummed in agreement and didn't bother her any further.
Time passed by, but neither of them was sleepy. One quietly embroidered, while the other quietly stood by her side.
Finally, the last injection was completed, and Zhuang Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief and got up to stretch her body.
Lu Congyue stood up and massaged her shoulders.
Zhuang Qingxiang showed the white cat she had embroidered to Lu Congyue. Lu Congyue didn't understand embroidery, but he could tell that it was very beautiful.
"It's double-sided embroidery, so you can make it into an ornament and see it from both sides," Zhuang Qingxiang explained softly to him.
"It looks good, that foreigner will definitely be satisfied." Lu Congyue pursed his lips. "If he's not satisfied, let him leave empty-handed!"
He actually felt that this was too much effort, far more so than the two bottles of liquor he had prepared or the porcelain his brother's factory had provided.
"We can have Technician Feng get it done tomorrow. I heard Mr. Ross is leaving the day after tomorrow," Zhuang Qingxiang whispered.
"Hmm... I've already spoken with everyone at the factory, and they'll have someone from the office see him off on my behalf," Lu Congyue replied.
The two spoke quietly for a while, and then Zhuang Qingxiang yawned.
Lu Congyue noticed the dark circles under her eyes and knew she hadn't rested well, so he fetched water for her to wash up and go to bed.
He naturally wouldn't go back to that tiny 1.2-meter bed; he went straight to the kang (heated brick bed) and hugged her.
Zhuang Qingxiang: "Stop fooling around... What if Yueyue sees this?"
"I left early this morning, she won't wake up," Lu Congyue said softly. "I won't do anything, I'll just hold you and sleep for a while."
Zhuang Qingxiang was exhausted and sleepy, and couldn't keep an eye on him. She just told him to be careful and then fell asleep.
Lu Congyue: "..." What a heartless woman! She actually slept with me, even though I was supposed to leave early this morning!
But seeing her sleeping soundly in his arms, he felt incredibly content, and even in his sleep, he had a smile on his face.
When Lu Congyue left, Zhuang Qingxiang and the three children were still asleep. He kissed each of them before silently leaving with his bag on his back.
He didn't want to go with Guan Jing and the others, so he went directly to the county train station. He arrived at 6:30 in the morning and waited at the entrance for a while before seeing Guan Jing coming over.
Lu Congyue frowned: "Why are you the only one?"
Guan Jing asked, puzzled, "But you're still here, aren't you?"
"Where is Kong Yazhen?" Lu Congyue asked irritably, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
As expected, Guan Jing's answer was exactly what was going on.
"Since your father is sick, we can go back. Ya-zhen doesn't need to come along; she has something to do and needs to stay for a couple more days."
Lu Congyue turned and left immediately: "Then I'll go back in a couple of days!"
"Stop right there!" Guan Jing shouted angrily.
The train station was crowded, and she was afraid of embarrassing herself, so she kept her voice down. She caught up with Lu Congyue in a few quick steps and forced him to stop.
"Lu Congyue, what if your father really is seriously ill? You might not even be able to see him one last time when you go back in a couple of days! He's still your biological father, no matter what. Don't force me to report to the organization!"
Lu Congyue's gaze was deep: "Heh... For the first time, I hope your words come true."
Guan Jing's expression changed, and she wished she could spit three times in front of him.
"I don't want to argue with you. After you go back to see your father, if he's alright, just come back. Who can stop you? As for Ya-zhen, I asked her for something, and she took care of it for me. She'll be back in Beijing the day after tomorrow."
Guan Jing patiently explained to Lu Congyue.
Lu Congyue sized her up: "What business could you possibly have here, a person from the capital?"
"I have friends here... Don't worry about it, it's none of your business." Guan Jing waved her hand. "Let's go, don't delay getting on the bus."
Lu Congyue hesitated for a moment, but still went to queue up to get on the bus.
He had already told the security department not to let Kong Yazhen near the house. As long as Zhuang Qingxiang didn't go to the cafeteria to help out or go out for a stroll, everything should be fine.
However, even if the two of them meet, it shouldn't be a problem. Although Zhuang Qingxiang is gentle, she won't tolerate someone like Kong Yazhen who dares to harm children.
Zhuang Qingxiang had just woken up when the train left the county town.
She slept very soundly this night without the baby making a fuss, but her breasts were sore from the swelling, which meant that Lu Congyue had fed the baby formula again during the night.
When Zhuang Qingxiang opened her eyes, she saw that it was seven o'clock, and she hurriedly woke up Xiao Qianyue.
After breakfast, Xiao Qianyue went to kindergarten. Zhuang Qingxiang tidied up at home and, seeing that it was almost time, took the two children and the finished embroidery to the technical department to find Feng Wenhua.
Feng Wenhua was amazed when she received Zhuang Qingxiang's embroidery: "Sister Zhuang, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook, and even better at embroidery! Is this double-sided embroidery? It's so well done, so lifelike, even the cat's fur has a sheen, it's simply exquisite."
Zhuang Qingxiang smiled shyly: "If you think it's good, then that's fine. Are all the shelves and stuff I asked you to make done? Let's get everything done today and send it over to Mr. Ross to take a look."
This was something they had agreed upon beforehand, and they had already divided up the tasks.
Unexpectedly, Feng Wenhua looked troubled after hearing her words.
