Chapter 121.1 - Baby On Board
Qin Jiran would always try to rush home to make dinner.
But there are always situations where there is no choice.
Due to the selection process, Qin Jiran may be two hours late today. So he called Su Yanyi in advance and told her to go to the main building to eat without waiting for him.
"Will you still come back for dinner? I'll have someone save you some." Su Yanyi asked.
"I'll make something myself. No need to save any for me."
Qin Jiran no longer likes to eat out. Although it may be a bit late, he will definitely eat at home.
"Okay."
When Qin Jiran hurried back home after finishing work, it was already past eight in the evening.
Usually at this time, Su Yanyi would be either watching TV or reading a book.
However, when he rushed back, he saw Su Yanyi setting the table with food. She was wearing a white apron, looking virtuous. He was stunned.
Oh, wait, "stunned" isn't the right word to use here.
This scene was just a bit overwhelming, making Qin Jiran a bit slow to react for a moment.
"Darling, dinner is ready, let's eat,"
Su Yanyi pointed out to the dining table with a very virtuous look.
Qin Jiran blinked and looked at the sky outside the window, feeling a bit awkward.
It got dark later than usual today. Did the sun set to the south? Or was it just that he opened the door at the wrong time? Otherwise, why was the Su Yanyi he saw not the usual Su Yanyi? Was he in a different dimension and seeing a different version of Su Yanyi?
"What are you looking at? Aren't you hungry? Come and eat."
Su Yanyi saw Qin Jiran lost in thought and called out to him. After all, she hadn't eaten dinner yet either.
When Qin Jiran saw Su Yanyi sitting at the table and looking like she was going to eat dinner too, he knew that she hadn't eaten yet. He didn't think too much about it. He sat down obediently.
Su Yanyi started eating. Qin Jiran followed suit. But he only took two bites before stopping and looking at Su Yanyi in confusion.
"What are you looking at?"
Su Yanyi asked without even looking up.
Qin Jiran's gaze was just too direct. So direct that she could feel it without even lifting her head.
"You seem different today." he said.
She was already strange in the morning, making his heart beat faster. Now she was even more different, actually cooking for him herself.
It was strange enough to make him lose his appetite.
"Don't you like it?"
She thought she needed to change the way she interacted with this man and make him understand that there shouldn't be any damn distance between them.
"Of course not, it's just that it feels very strange."
Strange enough to make him sleepless at night.
"Even if it's strange, you still have to eat. You're not hungry, but I am," she said.
Despite the strangeness of the situation, she herself is also adapting to this new way of getting along with this man.
Seeing Su Yanyi like this, it was obvious that she had no intention of explaining.
Therefore, Qin Jiran had to remain silent and continue with the dinner.
It had to be said that Su Yanyi's cooking skills were really good.
After eating a few bites of food carefully, Qin Jiran didn't have much else on his mind.
This was the dinner that Yanyi made for him herself, plus she had been waiting for him to come back to eat.
She was even wearing an apron, looking like a gentle and virtuous wife. This made him feel touched and warm inside.
Although everything was a bit strange, he had to admit that all of this made him feel very moved.
He seemed to have discovered a different side of Yanyi.
"Eat more. If you like anything, just say so. I'll make it for you in the future." Su Yanyi blinked when she saw Qin Jiran eating with his head down. She picked up a lot of dishes and put them in his bowl.
Qin Jiran paused his eating for a moment.
Although the two of them had been interacting with each other at the dinner table, most of the time, he was the one picking dishes for Yanyi to eat.
Yanyi rarely did this, let alone say such things.
She would make food for him in the future?
Although this was a pleasant thing, and he was really looking forward to it, why did he still feel that something was off? Why did Yanyi suddenly become so gentle, considerate and virtuous? He was really not used to it.
"Yanyi, did something happen to you this morning?" Qin Jiran asked tentatively.
He had a feeling that the changes in the evening were somewhat related to what had happened in the morning.
He could be sure that it wasn't about the fans because Yanyi would never be so bothered by such a small matter.
But besides that, what else could it be?
Qin Jiran was thinking seriously.
Then he thought of the conversation they had earlier that day.
But he didn't seem to have said anything different and at the end of it, they spent it in bed, feeling happy. There didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
"Do you think I was stimulated?"
Su Yanyi wiped her mouth with a napkin and looked at Qin Jiran playfully.
"This morning, and now, it feels different. If it's not because of something that happened, then it's probably because you're trying to tease me, to see my reaction. The other possibility..."
Qin Jiran paused again, as if it was difficult for him to say the words.
"Go on."
Su Yanyi said with an interested look on her face.
"Maybe, you want to change your style, ah, I mean, maybe you want to experience, um, the different styles of wives?"
Qin Jiran's words were a bit tangled, but in fact, he was even more tangled up inside.
Yanyi in the morning was charming and sweet, like a little woman who coquettishly seeks affection.
Yanyi at night was gentle and considerate, like a virtuous little wife.
Obviously, these were not Yanyi's original styles, which led Qin Jiran to make such a guess.
Perhaps Her Majesty the Queen of his family is trying to be a virtuous wife? This is the question that Qin Jiran most wants to ask, but it's not easy to say it directly. Otherwise it would be like saying that Yanyi is not virtuous enough.
That's why he stuttered and said those words, not knowing if Yanyi understood his meaning.
"Different wives? How are they different?" Su Yanyi spoke while picking up a soup spoon and serving a bowl of soup for Qin Jiran, placing it in front of him.
Her movements and demeanor were truly virtuous.
But looking at Su Yanyi in this way, Qin Jiran felt uncomfortable, feeling hot and cold alternately.
He dared not speak loudly, fearing that he might touch a nerve of Su Yanyi and make her worse.
Although the gentle, virtuous, and coquettish Su Yanyi also attracted him, he actually looked forward to a more normal Yanyi.
"Do you want me to be more virtuous?" Qin Jiran asked cautiously.
Su Yanyi had been watching Qin Jiran all the time, with a slightly playful look in her eyes, finding it very interesting to see this man being so cautious.
"Hehe, do you think I wasn't virtuous enough before?" Su Yanyi suddenly laughed.
Seeing Su Yanyi's smile, Qin Jiran also breathed a sigh of relief. Holding Su Yanyi's hand in his own hands, he said seriously, "I never thought that way. Whether it was you before, now, or even in the future, no matter what you are like, you are the best you!"
"So you like me no matter what I am like?"
Su Yanyi understood Qin Jiran's meaning, and the tone of her voice was certainly affirmative.
"Of course!" This is a must.
His Yanyi, how could there be anything wrong with her? He naturally likes all of her!
Su Yanyi smiled mischievously, saying, "So you like me in this way now, right?"
Qin Jiran almost choked on his own saliva. Why does he feel that Yanyi is also becoming a bit rogue now!
"Come on, drink the soup. Be careful not to choke."
Su Yanyi pushed the soup towards Qin Jiran again. Qin Jiran felt helpless, feeling that Yanyi was really teasing him!
After a very strange dinner, Qin Jiran took the initiative to clean up the table.
Usually at this time, Su Yanyi either went to the bedroom or the second-floor living room to watch TV while waiting for Qin Jiran to finish cleaning up.
However it seemed that Su Yanyi was determined to carry on being strange today. She followed him to help with the cleaning.
"Oh, Yanyi, I can handle this. Why don't you go rest?"
He didn't like seeing her busy. It made him feel uncomfortable!
