After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 297: Shen Qingqing Is the Calming Pill
After resolving a bothersome issue, Shen Qingqing returned to her usual life.
Every day she traveled back and forth between school and home in a straight line.
With Madam Jiang taking care of her, even though her belly grew bigger and movement started to slow down, she felt great and didn’t miss a single important thing.
When Jiang Zhixun was on leave, he would take Shen Qingqing out to relieve some stress.
Although it was his first time being a husband, he could see that pregnant women were often sensitive emotionally.
She interacted with so many people and encountered so many things daily, so no matter how good her mindset was, it was inevitable for her to feel irritated sometimes.
It’s just human nature.
Having a child is not an easy task; it requires attention not only to the health of the pregnant woman but also to her psychological state.
What Jiang Zhixun had to do was seize every opportunity to help his wife relax and greet the arrival of the child in the best condition.
On this day, as per Jiang Zhixun’s request, Shen Qingqing accompanied him to a shopping mall for some fresh air.
"You’ve been preparing the baby’s stuff with Mom all along. Turns out I’ve saved a little private stash, and I’ll buy both of you a new outfit."
Shen Qingqing teased him, "Is your private stash enough?"
Compared to others, Jiang Zhixun had a good salary and benefits.
Whenever he got his pay, he would save it and hand it over to Shen Qingqing to manage.
He would just keep a little change for himself.
He usually didn’t have any place to spend it, so what he saved up was quite a substantial amount.
Jiang Zhixun put his arm around Shen Qingqing’s shoulders, lowered his eyes to look at her, "Underestimating me?"
Shen Qingqing smiled but said nothing, "It’s not that I took control of the finances and didn’t give you much allowance. It’s not easy for you to save up a little, and now it’s used by me and the child, I’m afraid your pocket is cleaner than your face, leaving you insecure."
Shen Qingqing had experienced the embarrassment of not having money, a heart full of uncertainty that truly made her feel insecure.
You need some reserves in hand, to have the confidence to handle things without a hitch.
Because she had been through that experience, Shen Qingqing never deprived Jiang Zhixun of his pocket money.
If a major purchase was needed, she would even cover the cost.
In the past, Jiang Zhixun wanted to give the money to Shen Qingqing to manage and use, but she resolutely didn’t spend a dime.
Now that there was finally a change, he certainly wanted to make up for what was lacking before.
The arm around Shen Qingqing tightened, and Jiang Zhixun said frankly, "You’re my sense of security."
As long as Shen Qingqing was by his side, he wouldn’t have time to think about random things.
This is his security.
And also his stabilizer!
Only with Shen Qingqing here could he be a normal person with flesh and blood.
Shen Qingqing’s face turned slightly red.
This man could always talk his way out before, but back then it was to annoy people.
Now he’s sweet-talking again and again, even after being together for so long, she still found it hard to resist.
"Smooth talker." Shen Qingqing remarked as such.
Jiang Zhixun curled his lips, his expression teasing, "You obviously love to hear it yet still scold me, Teacher Shen, do you have two faces?"
"Lazy to say much to you."
Jiang Zhixun: "Losing the argument, getting anxious?"
Shen Qingqing withdrew her earlier thought, whether it was the previous Jiang Zhixun or the current one, they could really be annoying!
She glared at the man fiercely, "I’ll settle the score with you when we’re home!"
Jiang Zhixun pressed his fist to his lips, glanced around, and at this moment there was no one nearby.
Asked, "How to settle it?"
Though it’s a normal sentence, he intentionally lowered his voice, which sounded different to Shen Qingqing.
With some ambiguity.
And a teasing feeling.
Shen Qingqing raised her hand to cover the ear close to Jiang Zhixun, "Don’t want to talk to you."
Jiang Zhixun felt wronged.
What sort of husband is despised by his wife to this extent?
Not even spoken to...
"No problem, I’ll just talk to you."
Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, "You really have a thick skin!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Thick skin is also a skill, Jiang Zhixun had a smile on his lips, looking quite proud.
Shen Qingqing was both amused and annoyed, "Don’t teach the kid wrongly."
Now her belly was already big, and the baby moved around frequently, clearly very lively.
Jiang Zhixun’s words must surely be heard.
Jiang Zhixun lowered his head to look at Shen Qingqing’s belly, his expression increasingly gentle.
"Having thick skin isn’t bad, just don’t be like a pig that’s not afraid of the boiling water, that’s too annoying."
Just as he said this, Jiang Zhixun suddenly turned serious and said, "If it dares to annoy people, I’ll make it understand what fatherly love is."
Shen Qingqing: "You’re already annoying, does your father’s love work?"
Jiang Zhixun: "..."
Shen Qingqing continued to ask, "Does Old Man Jiang also ridicule you, and does it work?"
Jiang Zhixun: "..."
Stubbornly said, "You’ve reformed me so well, how could I not manage a little rascal?"
Shen Qingqing teased, "Can’t resist having a troublemaking father."
Educating children isn’t easy.
If you don’t work together, various problems may arise.
Jiang Zhixun had read many books recently, and when it comes to parenting, he had quite a few insights.
"How to teach the child, it’s up to you; I definitely won’t hold things back."
"That’s not okay, what if it becomes my one-man show?"
Although Shen Qingqing was confident, she wouldn’t believe she wouldn’t make any mistakes.
Jiang Zhixun: "You can take the lead on big issues, I’ll correct any mistakes."
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Then you can’t cover up for me."
Jiang Zhixun cleared his throat, "I’ll be fair and just, you can rest easy."
Shen Qingqing gave him a meaningful look and stopped the topic there.
Arriving at their destination, Jiang Zhixun held Shen Qingqing’s hand and first led her to a women’s clothing store to pick out what she liked.
"Limited budget, you choose first."
Depending on the situation, decide what to buy for the child with the remainder.
Jiang Zhixun: "If it really doesn’t work, just buy a pair of socks for it."
Shen Qingqing couldn’t stop laughing, "Don’t be biased."
"Just being biased." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
To him, his wife was the most important person.
Love for the child came from loving his wife, it was secondary.
Picked up a loose dress and held it against Shen Qingqing, "Should fit."
Shen Qingqing was slim, and although her belly had grown, she could still fit into loose clothes.
Since the day she was confirmed pregnant, Shen Qingqing had already bought many loose-fitting clothes.
This time she wanted to buy something fitted, "Putting it aside to wear after the baby is born."
Jiang Zhixun understood Shen Qingqing’s preferences, apart from timeless colors and styles, she didn’t like clothes for long beyond a few months.
Once new clothes were bought, they should be worn soon.
"First buy something you can wear now, once the confinement period is over, buy new ones."
Shen Qingqing poked Jiang Zhixun’s waist, "Mr. Jiang, be frugal and manage the household."
"It’s not like buying every day."
Under Jiang Zhixun’s persuasion, Shen Qingqing truly picked styles she could wear right now.
He was right, having a child is a new beginning, they could buy new clothes then.
With the current rapid development in all industries, by the time she left confinement, new styles would be out.
After buying clothes for his wife, Jiang Zhixun’s private stash was mostly spent.
With what was left, he bought a little outfit for the child.
He picked it himself.
Comparing it as he purchased.
Kept mumbling, can such tiny clothes really fit a baby?
