A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 190 was also superficial.



Chapter 190 was also superficial.

When the boss gets angry, everyone awkwardly shuts up.

Niu Jianzhong sneered, "Go do what you're supposed to do. Don't you know these are critical times? If anything goes wrong at the factory, you'll all be in for a beating!"

Zhuang Qingxiang didn't hear the other people's discussions. She hurried home, feeling more and more uneasy as she got closer.

I wonder what Lu Congyue will say when he sees her dressed like this...

He pounded on the door, and soon Qian Yue's clear voice rang out, "Uncle Lu, I'll go open the door! Who is it...?"

Hearing the voice getting closer, Zhuang Qingxiang smiled and said, "Yueyue, it's me."

"Mom!!" Little Qianyue shouted happily.

Soon, the door opened, and the little girl pounced on Zhuang Qingxiang.

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly smiled and hugged the person.

"Wow, it smells so good, Mommy smells so good..." Little Qian Yue exclaimed, constantly sniffing Zhuang Qingxiang.

My mother's scent has changed; it smells so good, but not as pleasant as before.

Zhuang Qingxiang took the little girl's hand and led her through the gate, then closed the gate and stepped into the house.

When Lu Congyue heard that Zhuang Qingxiang had returned, he finally managed to settle the two babies and hurriedly came out to greet her, but froze at the door when he saw her.

Under the moonlight, the completely unfamiliar Zhuang Qingxiang walked towards him step by step, like a fairy appearing in the night, so beautiful that one couldn't bear to blink.

He had seen women dressed similarly in the capital, but they all seemed pretentious, and he didn't like them.

At that time, he felt that the woman he liked the most in his life was his mother, a simple, honest woman who was gentle, virtuous and kind.

Although he knew Zhuang Qingxiang was very beautiful, he believed that he fell in love with her because of her gentleness and quietness, because she was good enough to the children, a good mother, and a good woman.

But now, seeing Zhuang Qingxiang dressed like this, his heart was pounding wildly for her. He suddenly realized that he might not be as cultured as he thought...

He's probably very superficial, so superficial that he'd like her even if she were a fairy.

Zhuang Qingxiang led Xiao Qianyue to the door, but they couldn't get in because Lu Congyue, that big guy, blocked the door completely and showed no intention of moving aside.

A piercing gaze fell upon her. Zhuang Qingxiang feigned ignorance and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Don't you want me to come in?"

Little Qian Yue's eyes sparkled: "Uncle Lu, my mom is so pretty and smells so good, isn't she?"

Lu Congyue snapped out of his daze from the child's excited voice, his Adam's apple bobbing, and quickly stepped aside.

But as Zhuang Qingxiang brushed past him, he grabbed her hand tightly, then quickly let go.

Zhuang Qingxiang was startled, glanced at him quickly, then pretended nothing had happened and led Xiao Qianyue into the inner room.

Carefully hanging up the wool coat that Ma Ting had given her, she turned around and saw Lu Congyue standing at the door of the inner room, staring intently at her.

"What are you looking at?" She was a little embarrassed and flustered. "These clothes were borrowed from Ma Ting. Don't they look awkward?"

Before Lu Congyue could answer, Xiao Qianyue couldn't wait to shout, "It's not awkward at all, it looks so good, Mom, it's really beautiful, just like a fairy!"

Lu Congyue smiled and nodded, "Yueyue is right."

His voice was low and soft, making Zhuang Qingxiang's ears itch slightly.

Lu Congyue looked at her and said, "This dress suits you very well. Let's buy a few more in the future."

He didn't know much about women's clothing, but the fabric of this dress was clearly different from what she usually wore. It looked smooth and clung to her body, making him want to touch it to see if the fabric was smoother or her skin was smoother...

Zhuang Qingxiang was almost burning with his gaze, so she quickly asked Xiao Qianyue to take Lu Congyue out. She needed to change her clothes and shoes, which Ma Ting had lent her, and she was afraid of getting them dirty or damaged.

After shooing the two people out, Zhuang Qingxiang quickly changed into her own clothes, only then feeling comfortable and daring to hold the two babies.

Each of them would hold the child for a while and give them a couple of kisses, making the two children laugh heartily, which eased Zhuang Qingxiang's tense mood.

Hearing the noise, Lu Congyue knocked on the door and asked her if she had eaten dinner and if she wanted something to eat. She quickly said that she had already eaten.

She opened the door and let Lu Congyue take care of the children while she continued making cotton-padded clothes for them.

Although Lu Congyue was with the child, his gaze kept sweeping over her: "Um... Teacher Sun is knitting a sweater for Dr. Shi."

"Yes, I know." Zhuang Qingxiang nodded.

Lu Congyue coughed lightly, touched his collar, then his cuffs: "I think I'm missing one too."

Zhuang Qingxiang paused, her hand holding the needle still, and looked up at him: "But I don't know how, I've never learned."

Lu Congyue hurriedly said, "Knitting a scarf will do, that's easy."

It's getting cold, and everyone else has sweaters, scarves, and gloves knitted by their wives, but he just wants one too.

"Alright then, I'll ask Yongxian for help tomorrow." Zhuang Qingxiang readily agreed, then raised an eyebrow, "So it seems you don't need the cotton-padded coat I made?"

Lu Congyue's eyes lit up: "You're going to make it for me?"

"Otherwise what? You brought back so much cotton and fabric, are you just going to make it for the children?" Zhuang Qingxiang chuckled.

"I'll make it for you," Lu Congyue said immediately. "It's for you. I asked around, and there's enough for two of you to alternate wearing."

"Then you won't have it," Zhuang Qingxiang said deliberately.

Lu Congyue's smile froze, and he scratched his head: "I'll try to get some more. Our whole family needs to be together, and I can't be missing a single piece."

"it is good."

Zhuang Qingxiang's "okay" stunned Lu Congyue.

In the past, she wouldn't have agreed with him saying that.

She always excluded him from the "family," refusing to marry him or acknowledge that they were family.

But just now he said the whole family was together, and she actually said yes.

Lu Congyue suddenly had a strong urge to quickly put the three little radishes to sleep, and then pull her aside to ask her the truth.

The more she thought about it, the warmer her heart became, and Lu Congyue's gaze grew increasingly ardent, to the point that Zhuang Qingxiang no longer dared to look him in the eye, and simply focused on sewing the clothes in her hands.

Lu Congyue tried desperately to get the three children to sleep, but the more anxious he became, the less they would sleep.

In the end, Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him out, then she put the three children to sleep herself.

In the stillness of the night, the door to the inner room creaked softly, followed by Lu Congyue's low inquiry: "Are you all asleep?"

"Mm," Zhuang Qingxiang responded, standing up. "Let's talk outside."

"Great!" Lu Congyue's voice was filled with joy.

Zhuang Qingxiang felt a little helpless, so she put on a coat and went out.

As soon as she came out, she was surrounded by warm, cozy embraces.

Zhuang Qingxiang slapped his arm: "Stop fooling around, we have something serious to talk about."

"Let me hold them for a while..." Lu Congyue protested, "When you came back just now, if it weren't for these three little ones, I would have..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but instead bit her ear, his warm breath brushing against her ear and neck, making her feel soft and comfortable.
