The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO's Wife

Chapter 219

"I've been feeling a bit down lately, don't look for me, I'm going for a walk."

Ye Rong read the note her daughter-in-law wrote, thinking that Xue Jingrui must have upset Qi Ji. Just as she was about to dial Xue Jingrui's number, her own phone rang.

"Hello, Jingrui, what's going on? Did you upset Qi Ji?"

Ye Rong fired off her accusations as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Mom, I didn't. I called to tell you not to worry. She's at Xu Xiuhe's place, I'll go pick her up later."

"She's lucky nothing happened. If something had, Xue Jingrui, you wait, I wouldn't let you off. We’ll settle this score when you get back tonight."

Xue Jingrui was rebuked into silence, not daring to argue.

Ye Rong hung up first, leaving Xue Jingrui to reflect. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did he feel like he was being abandoned at home?

Xu Xiuhe got home first. The meal prepared by Shen Yin was ready. Xue Jingrui waited outside Xu Xiuhe's door, waiting for a reply from him.

[How's it going? Can I come in yet?]

[Wait a little longer.]

Inside, everyone was enjoying Shen Yin's meal. She had cooked a variety of nutritious dishes. Qi Ji was hungry and ate a lot that night.

"Sister Yin Yin, your cooking is delicious."

"Then come find me whenever you want to eat something."

"Really? You treat me better than brother Jingrui. He was mean to me yesterday."

"How was he mean to you?"

Qi Ji knew she was wrong in the first place, and guiltily lowered her head.

"Xue Jingrui has been waiting outside all this time. He probably hasn't had dinner. Without your permission, he doesn't dare to come in," Xu Xiuhe said.

"Ah, how did he know I am here?"

After seeing the puzzled look on Qi Ji's face, Shen Yin laughed, realizing that the saying "once pregnant, three years of folly" was true.

"Do you want to let him in?"

Shen Yin asked.

Qi Ji, with a conflicted expression on her face, said, "I’m a good person, so I suppose I can allow him in."

Hearing this, Xu Xiuhe stood up, opened the door, and Xue Jingrui rushed in.

"Qi Ji."

"He ate it in the bathroom, I saw it through the door gap. My ice cream, was a blue rose, so pretty. I only had two bites, just two petals, he took a bite and the whole rose petals were gone."

As Qi Ji spoke, her voice grew louder, feeling more wronged.

Xue Jingrui didn't expect that he was spotted eating Qi Ji's ice cream in the restroom.

"Jingrui, that was your fault," Xu Xiuhe remarked.

"I was wrong, I won't scold you again in the future, but for now, we really can't eat that, what if we get sick, we have to be very careful during pregnancy."

"I forgive you. But I want to eat hawthorn! I want to eat something very sour."

"Sweet for boys and sour for girls." Shen Yin interjected.

"Shen Yin, I don't want the hawthron now, I want hotpot and sour and spicy vermicelli... "

"..."

"Mom, Yunzheng wants ice cream, last time's ice cream was so good. Have some hotpot, have some hawthorn." The little one listened to the adults' conversation and suddenly chimed in.

"Didn't you just eat your fill?" Shen Yin clearly saw that Xu Yunzheng just had a serious food battle and ate a lot.

"I'm full now, let's go home. If we don't go now, Mom might want to chop me with a knife." Xue Jingrui said.

"All right."

After the two left, Xu Xiuhe cleaned up the dining table, Shen Yin was happy, just now Qi Ji and Xue Jingrui were so funny, thankfully, she and Shu Yi didn't bring Qi Ji to the ice cream shop last time, otherwise, Qi Ji would have been crazy for the ice cream.

Sure enough, after the two got home, Xue Jingrui was thoroughly scolded by Ye Rong.

Qi Ji, listening on the side, felt guilty at first, but later, it turned into sympathy.

"Mom, it's my fault too, it's my fault, I've been having lots of strange cravings recently."

"No problem, I'll accompany you for the prenatal checkup tomorrow. I would have to teach Xue Jingrui a lesson, otherwise, he will bully you in future."

"Brother Jingrui didn't bully me."

Ye Rong doesn't care about these issues. At bedtime, she hugs her pillow and knocks on the door of Xue Jingrui's and Qi Ji's room.

Xue Jingrui gets scared and immediately picks up the quilt from the floor, running onto the bed.

"What's the matter?"

"Mom is probably checking on us."

Only when Xue Jingrui looked around the room and couldn't find any faults did he open the door.

"Mom? Why are you hugging a pillow?"

"I'm worried that you're bullying Qi Ji. You can either sleep on the sofa or in the guest room on the ground floor. From tonight, I'll sleep with Qi Ji."
