Chapter 268 I'm so happy to be praised
"Yes, my son also said that it was something foreigners ate, and he never thought that we could eat it now."
"I managed to snag two a couple of days ago, and when I got home, I shared them with my family. They were so delicious, they practically melted in your mouth. My little grandson still hasn't had enough. I'm definitely going to grab two more this time."
"You can argue with that, it's just a bit pricey."
"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, this little bit of money is nothing."
The discussion was lively, and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
They also went on to praise the food factory, saying that their new products released in the past two months were excellent.
Zhuang Qingxiang listened for a while before smiling and going home.
When Lu Congyue saw the joy on her face when she returned, he smiled too.
"Did you deliberately send me out to overhear what everyone was saying?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked with a soft smile, her heart softening.
"Yes," Lu Congyue answered frankly, "I've heard it too much lately. When I think about how you did it all, I feel like everyone is praising you, and I just want to make you happy too."
At the year-end summary and commendation meeting, Director Dai of the food factory received an honorary certificate for launching a popular new product.
The certificate of honor clearly belongs to her!
The thought of Zhuang Qingxiang not being able to receive the certificate of honor made Lu Congyue feel sorry for her, so he thought of letting her go out and hear how popular the prescription she sold to Director Dai was.
It's a pity he can't open his own shop now, otherwise he would definitely open one for his wife so she could make delicious pastries there every day.
"Haruka, do you really not want to go to work? I think Director Dai would really like you to come work at the factory."
"No, I have to take care of the child," Zhuang Qingxiang firmly refused.
Lu Congyue looked at the two little kids and wished they could grow up overnight so he could send them to kindergarten.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhuang Qingxiang walking to his side.
Then, she kissed him.
Lu Congyue: !!!
Zhuang Qingxiang smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling: "Thank you."
Lu Congyue swallowed hard: "Is that all you're thanking me for?"
Zhuang Qingxiang smiled, then tiptoed forward and kissed his cheek.
Lu Congyue turned his head at the right moment, and Zhuang Qingxiang kissed him on the lips.
"you……"
"If you want to thank someone, then thank them properly. I'll teach you..."
Lu Congyue sealed her lips with his.
It's rare for her to take the initiative like this, so he has to teach her a lesson.
When the kiss ended, Zhuang Qingxiang lay panting in his arms, her legs weak, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away by him.
How could he do this? A perfectly good kiss of gratitude should have been turned into one full of lust.
Lu Congyue held his wife, who was as soft as a board, and glanced angrily at the two little ones who were looking at him expectantly.
It's an eyesore!
It's in the way!
"I'll teach you properly tonight," Lu Congyue whispered in Zhuang Qingxiang's ear.
That night, exhausted from the ordeal, Zhuang Qingxiang nestled weakly in Lu Congyue's arms, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.
Lu Congyue grasped her hand: "Something on your mind?"
Zhuang Qingxiang stirred and asked softly, "Congyue, do you want to have another child?"
Lu Congyue froze, his heart pounding like a drum, but he quickly suppressed it and whispered, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I just wanted to ask you... maybe you'd like to have a child of your own?"
"These three children are my own now!" Lu Congyue said in a deep voice, "and they will be for life!"
If a couple's union requires a child who carries the blood of both of them, then they already have one, she just doesn't know it.
However, does her asking this question mean that her feelings for him have deepened to the point where she is willing to have children for him?
Can he just tell her the truth now? Won't that scare her away?
Zhuang Qingxiang tilted her head slightly in surprise: "You really think so?"
"Mm." Lu Congyue pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Qingxiang, the three of them are enough."
Zhuang Qingxiang was extremely surprised.
She didn't quite understand men's feelings towards children. In her view, men generally preferred sons, saying that they could carry on the family line.
They have a deep obsession with continuing the family line, but sometimes their obsession is not with bloodline, but with gender and surname.
Like Qian Quan, a man with a congenital disability who is completely infertile, yet he is obsessed with having a son, even if it means using a donor.
As a mother, she naturally has a deep affection for the child she has worked so hard to give birth to, just like she has for her son Chenglin.
She didn't need Cheng Lin to do anything; just seeing him filled her with joy and happiness, and she wanted to pray to God that he would grow up safely and without illness or disaster.
She also loved Yueyue very much, but to a large extent it was because Yueyue died tragically in her previous life while protecting her.
As for Fang Donghua... she couldn't say she loved him very deeply, because he was Lu Congyue's adopted son and didn't really have much to do with her. But having raised him for so long, she naturally developed a maternal love for him.
So, Lu Congyue is a man who is incapable of having children and cannot feel that blood connection. How could he love these three children so much that he would even be willing to forgo having his own children for their sake?
Is this what fatherly love can be like?
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't understand. She wriggled in Lu Congyue's arms, climbed onto him, and whispered, "You're willing to forgo having your own children for the sake of those three... You really love them, don't you?"
Lu Congyue smiled and said in a low voice, "I love you."
Zhuang Qingxiang was at a loss for words.
Who confesses their feelings suddenly?
And he even said "I love you," what an embarrassing thing to say! How could he have the nerve to say it like that?
Lu Congyue waited silently for a while, then angrily pinched Zhuang Qingxiang's waist.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Zhuang Qingxiang twisted and turned shyly, trying to escape.
Lu Congyue wasn't about to let her escape so easily. He gripped her waist and gritted his teeth, asking, "Qingxiang, aren't you going to give me any response?"
Zhuang Qingxiang raised her hand, covering her face with her arm: "What response?"
"I said I love you, what about you?"
Zhuang Qingxiang: "..."
Lu Congyue started to get angry.
He's already confessed his feelings!
Even if he didn't confess, she should have known very well.
So could she please stop acting so detached?
"Qingxiang..." Lu Congyue started pestering him; he had to respond today.
Zhuang Qingxiang's lips moved slightly.
Lu Congyue heard this and said, "I like you too."
Lu Congyue was not satisfied.
In his mind, liking and loving are different.
He made up his mind: he wouldn't let her go until he got a satisfactory response tonight.
The next morning, Lu Congyue got up with a satisfied look on his face, beaming with joy.
He got the response he wanted last night.
Although he obtained it through some means, she did tell him, and he took her words seriously, so he couldn't go back on his word later.
When Lu Congyue went to work, everyone noticed that Director Lu was all smiles today.
"Did something good happen to Director Lu today?" someone asked.
