My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 666 - 585: Look, But Don’t Touch

Ever since Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao bought Putao Manor, they occasionally hosted gatherings like this.

The hotpot was bubbling away, lively and bustling.

Qin Miaomiao, being pregnant, couldn’t eat anything spicy. Lu Qing sat right next to her, dipping lamb into the pot, rinsing it in water after cooking, and then letting her dip it in sesame sauce.

However, she didn’t like the flavor of sesame sauce—she craved the spicy stuff.

But alas, spicy food was absolutely off-limits.

Lu Qing, the overzealous housekeeper, watched her like a hawk, as if he had counted every bite of lamb and vegetable she had taken.

Yan Lv grinned and asked cheerfully:

"Brother Lu, your wife deserves all the credit here. Triplets in one go—what an achievement! I propose a toast to our dear sister-in-law."

"Yes, congrats to Brother Lu and congrats to sister-in-law!"

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses!"

Everyone lifted their glasses. With Qin Miaomiao expecting, the brothers and close friends were naturally happy for them, especially since it was triplets—a rare occurrence indeed.

To say there was no envy, jealousy, or admiration would be a lie.

Except for Yan Lv, every man present discreetly glanced at his own partner.

And then, in unison, they subtly admired Qin Miaomiao. As expected of the eldest sister-in-law—three in one go!

Time to pick up some tips from her.

Song Li scooted closer and teased:

"Brother Lu, with your experience, you’ll have to teach us a thing or two."

Lu Qing’s lips curled faintly, but his expression remained serious as he replied in an even tone:

"Well, it’s all in the genes. Nothing can be done about it—it’s just that my genes are... exceptional."

Jin Jing couldn’t help but chime in: "Brother Lu, you make it sound like you deserve the main credit here. In the end, it’s sister-in-law who’s impressive—and your family doesn’t even have any twin genes!"

"Jin Si, stop blurting out such inconvenient truths. Too bad sister-in-law’s pregnancy means her filming plans might have to be put on hold."

Qin Miaomiao quickly interjected:

"Who said they’re on hold? Everything’s proceeding as normal—just pushing things back by a few months. We can find a good director to keep things going. Don’t you think of shirking your responsibilities! I might drop by occasionally to oversee things."

"Sister-in-law, you’re pregnant—still planning to come to the set? There’s no way Brother Lu will allow it," protested Meng Yan, frowning.

"We’re still negotiating. How about you guys help me persuade him?"

Meng Yan and Yan Lv immediately waved their hands in surrender:

"No way, no way! We only follow Brother Lu’s orders. Having babies is the number one priority—there’s no room for compromise."

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and said coolly:

"Still clinging to that idea, are you?"

"I’m just bored, that’s all."

"Very well. Once the babies are born, you won’t have time to feel bored. And don’t forget about the company—I’m already having you oversee things. If you’re still bored, I’ll take even that responsibility off your hands."

Qin Miaomiao: ...

Bully! Hmph!

Judging by Lu Qing’s attitude, her filming plans were definitely off the table for now. She might as well focus on editing instead.

After the hotpot, the group moved on to mahjong, as per tradition.

However, Qin Miaomiao, being pregnant, wasn’t allowed to play. They claimed the sound of the tiles would be too loud and might startle the babies.

Qin Miaomiao instantly felt an urge to flip the table. The babies were still so tiny—would they really be scared?

She was pulled aside and left to chat with Jiaojiao, Xiao Xiao, and Hua Hua.

Still, her mind wandered. Most of her attention was on the mahjong table.

Her hands itched to play—even just touching the tiles would have been satisfying. But alas, with Lu Qing, the tyrant, around, even that was a pipe dream.

"Jiaojiao, how’s the variety show recording going?"

"Smooth as can be! It’s so much fun. I never imagined outdoor activities would be this enjoyable."

Xu Jiaojiao’s face lit up with excitement. She naturally had a rugged look about her, so the production team had arranged four men and two women for the show.

Besides her, the other woman was dainty and delicate, like a true little princess.
