After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?

Chapter 315: Men Are Fickle Too

Jiang Zhixun wanted to send some local specialties to his comrades in the Northwest; with a newborn in the family, it was a good thing to share with everyone.

When Shen Qingqing finished her nap, she suggested they go out.

Shen Qingqing: "Didn’t you ask me to go buy it myself?"

Jiang Zhixun: "I’ve changed my mind now, can’t I?"

The specialties need to be divided among four families, so it would definitely be heavy.

His wife shouldn’t be lifting heavy things now; it’s more appropriate for him to carry them.

Shen Qingqing joked with him, "They say women are fickle, but I see men are the same."

Jiang Zhixun didn’t deny it, "Everyone is human; human nature must have common traits."

Shen Qingqing teased him, "Getting into such profound topics, are we?"

Jiang Zhixun wore a proud expression, "I’m a cultured person too."

He had excellent grades in school, but often, the family assumed Shen Qingqing was the more cultured one.

Shen Qingqing gave a little hum, not contradicting him.

She just asked Jiang Zhixun, "What about the kids?"

"Leave them at home."

Taking the two little ones would slow down their shopping speed.

Shen Qingqing: "What if they get hungry?"

"They won’t; we’ll be back soon."

Shen Qingqing mentally deliberated what to buy for Shi Yu and the others.

She planned to go directly to the store to save time selecting.

"Let’s buy some baby formula too," Shen Qingqing suggested.

Jiang Zhixun had no objections; he now thought baby formula was quite good.

At least when someone is watching the kids, his wife can go out without worry.

No need to constantly fret about Xiaoman and Xiaoxi being hungry.

Going out required dressing well, and with Jiang Zhixun watching the kids, Shen Qingqing comfortably headed to the bathroom.

She washed her face, went back to the bedroom to put on some makeup, drew her eyebrows, and dabbed on a little lipstick for color.

For the sake of neat and tidy childcare, Shen Qingqing always kept her hair braided.

Braided hair isn’t straight, so letting it down wasn’t suitable; she opted for a side braid instead.

After gazing in the mirror for a while and finding it a bit dull, she fluffed up the braid.

Still not satisfied.

Finally, she tied a low ponytail and used a scarf as a hair tie, adding an accent, which looked much better.

After finishing up, she stood in front of the wardrobe to choose clothes.

Compared to others, Shen Qingqing indeed had a lot of clothes, filling the wardrobe to the brim.

Jiang Zhixun’s clothes had no place to be, squeezed into a small corner.

Luckily, he didn’t have many clothes, rotating just a few sets.

Otherwise, they’d probably need to add another wardrobe.

For easy walking and a quick return home, Shen Qingqing chose a knitted sweater, paired with long pants and flat canvas shoes.

Just put on a coat, and she was ready to go out.

A simple outfit, full of comfort, exuded a sense of casual beauty.

Shen Qingqing checked herself in the mirror again and was finally satisfied this time.

"Once they wake up, feed them one more time, and then we’ll go out," Shen Qingqing planned.

She sat in front of the mirror, carefully examining her face to ensure everything was evenly applied.

Holding the lipstick, she added a little more.

Her lip shape was beautiful, and with fair skin, adding lipstick made her look radiantly charming and healthy.

Jiang Zhixun had no objections to his wife’s arrangements.

Holding his daughter, his gaze fell on Shen Qingqing, watching her every move.

He couldn’t help but smile.

She was just as she used to be, loving to look good, but indeed she was stunning.

"Let’s go shopping for clothes next time I’m on leave."

Shen Qingqing nodded repeatedly, "I don’t have suitable clothes to wear anymore."

The clothes from before her pregnancy still fit, but they didn’t quite match her current demeanor.

The best solution was to buy new ones!

With the kids still small, going out was challenging; once they got used to baby formula, they’d have an easier time on a proper shopping trip.

Shen Qingqing: "Let’s buy after maternity leave, by then the kids will be a bit older, and we can leave the house more comfortably."

"Mhm."

Jiang Zhixun looked down at the sleeping little one in his arms.

Right now, Xiao Xi was round and chubby, with a small face, mouth, nose—everything was tiny.

Delicate and beautiful.

Inheriting the best features of both parents.

Jiang Zhixun thought their little one looked good from every angle.

Especially her chubby little hands, plump like lotus roots.

Her fingers were chubby and short, incredibly cute.

Every time Jiang Zhixun looked, he couldn’t resist giving them a kiss.

How could such an adorable child exist!

Chubby and lovable.

Resembling both him and Qingqing.

They were the result of their love!

After cherishing for a while, he placed the baby in the crib, planning to clip their nails while they were asleep.

This was a detailed task; at first, he didn’t dare, always afraid of cutting the little hands and feet.

But after trying a few times, he was no longer hesitant.

He picked a well-lit spot and worked carefully.

Shen Qingqing tilted her head to watch; the man sat by the crib, bent over, holding the child’s little hand, looking unlike his usual upright self.

Yet Shen Qingqing found him captivating like this.

She didn’t speak to disturb him, just quietly watched.

The room was very quiet.

Except for the wind blowing outside, there were only the sounds of two children sleeping peacefully.

Shen Qingqing experienced the true essence of tranquility.

Jiang Zhixun worked meticulously, cutting the nails of both children, then feeling around to ensure nowhere was left rough, which might scratch the baby’s delicate skin.

After confirming everything was fine, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking up, he saw Shen Qingqing watching him; Jiang Zhixun smiled, "What, mesmerized by me again?"

Shen Qingqing nodded, "A little."

The husband she wanted was tall and handsome, with ambition, family-oriented, good to her, kind to the children, and respectful.

Jiang Zhixun now embodied all that.

"Just a little?"

The man’s gaze was dangerous, as if telling her to think again before answering.

Shen Qingqing closed her mouth and didn’t respond.

Jiang Zhixun, "relentless," kept probing, "Teacher Shen, please correct your attitude."

When he finished speaking, the children woke up.

The first thing was to cry with little open mouths.

Once one woke, the other soon followed; their cries could raise the roof.

Shen Qingqing glared at Jiang Zhixun, "It’s your fault; you woke them up."

Jiang Zhixun felt wronged.

Their babies slept soundly as long as they were fed; thunder or rain wouldn’t disturb them.

They were like two little piglets.

Voices didn’t affect them at all!

Shen Qingqing picked up the one who woke first, sitting on the sofa to nurse.

Sister Zhou was on holiday, visiting her parents.

Upon hearing the noise upstairs, Madam Jiang came to help change the children’s diapers.

Hearing the couple planned to go out, she told Jiang Zhixun, "Then hurry back; drive there; the adults can go hungry, but children cannot."

Jiang Zhixun: "Who dares let them go hungry? Qingqing and I would be nagged to death by you all."

Madam Jiang teased him, "Competing with the kids for affection?"

Jiang Zhixun was very self-aware, "I can’t outcompete them."

Such adorable little ones, every time he came home and saw them, his heart was filled to the brim.

Very warm.

Very gentle.

Especially the elders at home, they couldn’t bear to let go of the babies.
