After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?

Chapter 298: Such a big temper?

The baby’s necessities must be prepared in advance, so when the time comes to give birth, we won’t be flustered.

Madam Jiang has prepared things like diapers.

When the weather is nice, she takes them out to wash and dry, afraid that her unborn grandchild would be uncomfortable using them.

Even though she hasn’t seen it yet, Madam Jiang already loves the baby and wants to give it the best of everything.

Shen Qingqing felt inferior after seeing this.

She often wondered if her mother-in-law would spoil the child.

After all, as the saying goes, grandparents have a special fondness for grandchildren.

Not to mention, Jiang Zhixun is already thirty-four this year and just having his first child.

Her mother-in-law has been eagerly awaiting this child with great anticipation.

That day, she saw her mother-in-law taking the diapers out to wash and dry again.

Shen Qingqing casually asked: "You won’t spoil the child in the future, right?"

Madam Jiang really couldn’t be sure.

After all, she was quite the doting mother to her son, everyone said so...

She said, "If there’s anything I’m not doing well, just let me know, and I’ll change."

The young couple has to work, so the task of taking care of the child was handed over to her, as was agreed long ago.

But Madam Jiang also understands Shen Qingqing’s temper.

If she doesn’t take good care of the child and keeps pampering the kids, Shen Qingqing might hire someone else to take care of the child, not letting her mother-in-law get involved anymore.

That wouldn’t be good.

She eagerly awaited this grandchild and wants to take care of it herself.

So, Madam Jiang stated her position right away.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was serious, Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "You have experience in raising children; we need to listen to you on many things, and if we work together, we can avoid many detours."

Madam Jiang felt relieved and agreed with Shen Qingqing’s words.

"I won’t be stubborn, and I’ll change if I’m wrong, you can rest assured."

She is just the grandmother; how to educate the child is up to Zhixun and Qingqing to decide.

Even though they don’t live separately, the young couple has their own home.

Too much interference from elders might backfire.

So she decided to follow their lead.

Whatever the young couple asks her to do, she will do it.

Peaceful home brings prosperity.

Life is already good now; if one still causes trouble, it’s because they’ve had enough of good days and won’t feel comfortable without a bit of chaos.

That would be crazy!

The pregnancy is long, but Shen Qingqing can eat and sleep, suffering less compared to other pregnant women.

Therefore, she didn’t miss any work.

The research project she was responsible for successfully wrapped up before the child was born.

And the house she had been yearning for was also assigned to them at this time.

She chose a day when Jiang Zhixun was on vacation to take him for a tour of the new house.

Two rooms and a living room, with a small kitchen, plus a bathroom.

Spacious and bright.

The location isn’t too high or low, just right on the third floor.

It hasn’t been decorated yet, and it’s quite empty inside, with no furniture at all.

Shen Qingqing plans to draw the design during her confinement after giving birth.

After confinement, she will slowly renovate her home.

After showing Jiang Zhixun around, they stopped at the kitchen door.

The kitchen has a big window, letting in lots of light, and they can see the scenery outside.

In every aspect, Shen Qingqing was very satisfied.

Just having a place to cook and a bathroom to shower in is many times better than dorm life.

She had nothing to complain about; having something is better than having nothing.

This house is incomparable to the Jiang Family’s house.

But it’s Shen Qingqing’s, it has critical significance.

Bluntly put, if there were any disagreements with the Jiang Family in the future, she could take the child and move here.

No need to rent a house like before.

The nature of the two is entirely different.

This is hers.

This is a sense of belonging, a source of peace and confidence.

Jiang Zhixun said, "It’s quite nice. When I take vacation, I can bring the child to stay with you. The child will have a place to live; otherwise, I would have to send the child back to the family compound, which is troublesome."

And with the kitchen, if time permits, they can buy their own groceries and cook their own meals.

It’s not as convenient as eating at the canteen, but they can follow their own preferences.

Pretty good!

Shen Qingqing quietly corrected him, "If there’s only one bedroom, the child can sleep with me; you... can either camp on the floor or sleep on the sofa."

Jiang Zhixun raised his chin, "First come, first served, even if someone has to camp on the floor or sleep on the sofa, it won’t be me."

He touched Shen Qingqing’s belly, "That’s the little light bulb; it should be aware and not constantly interrupt our time alone."

Maybe hearing Jiang Zhixun’s words, the child inside Shen Qingqing’s belly started to protest.

Jiang Zhixun hadn’t moved his hand away when he felt a kick right in his palm.

He smacked his lips.

"Such a big temper?"

Shen Qingqing calmly replied, "Takes after you."

Jiang Zhixun thought otherwise, "I don’t casually kick people."

Unlike his wife, who kicks him when she’s mad.

There were even a few times she wanted to kick him out of bed.

Jiang Zhixun concluded, "It learned from you, honey, you shouldn’t kick me anymore. Otherwise, the child will imitate..."

Before he could finish, he got a little kick from someone.

Shen Qingqing gave a proud look, "Some people just have it coming, serves them right for getting kicked!"

As if in response to her words, the baby in the belly moved again.

Jiang Zhixun felt it all clearly with his hand on Shen Qingqing’s belly.

He sighed, "What’s my family status?"

"Don’t you know yourself?"

Jiang Zhixun scoffed and shamelessly said, "You’re number one, I’m number two, and the child is number three."

"Clearly, you don’t know."

Jiang Zhixun began to list his virtues, finally saying, "It’s just a little one, doesn’t know anything, how could it compete with me?"

Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, "Childish!"

"Isn’t it because you’re biased? Otherwise, would I need to compete with the child?" Jiang Zhixun protested.

His bright eyes and deep, handsome features, complemented by the demeanor of maturity, make him very charming.

When he’s out, he always draws many gazes.

But only with Shen Qingqing does he remain unchanged.

As aggravating as ever.

As childish as ever.

However... he’s also become more considerate and caring.

Shen Qingqing often criticized Jiang Zhixun, but she couldn’t find fault with his looks all these years.

Every time she looked, she’d feel her heart flutter again.

She pinched Jiang Zhixun’s face, "Annoying."

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

He knows very well that when Qingqing first liked him, it was his face that caught her eye.

And his physique!

He quietly reminded himself that she was just being contradictory.

Jiang Zhixun said, "All this time I haven’t properly impressed you, and I can understand your dissatisfaction."

Shen Qingqing’s face felt flushed, "Jiang Zhixun, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The man kissed her on the forehead, "You can inspect properly when the time comes; whatever’s annoying, I will change."

Shen Qingqing covered his mouth, "Shut up."

The man’s eyes crinkled, and his laughter spilled out of him.

Although married life is quite ordinary without grand happenings,

Bantering and fooling around with Shen Qingqing like this makes him feel very happy.
