Chapter 377 - 390: Not Wanting to Distance Too Much from Her
"She came here on her own, nothing to do with me."Fu Bin shrugged innocently. He didn’t expect that Qin Mi would suddenly show up here.
"Sis, I came over without any notice. You’re not going to be mad, right?"
Qin Mi came over cheerfully, naturally linking her arm with Chu Ci’s.
Chu Ci sat down on the couch with a faint smile: "I’m not your sister-in-law. You can just call me Chu Ci."
"Oh come on, don’t be so formal. You two even have a baby, how could you not be my sister-in-law? Besides, my brother is staying here, isn’t he?"
Chu Ci leaned over to pick up a glass of water from the table, took a sip, and decided not to explain. She could call her whatever she wanted.
"Why are you here?"
Fu Bin sat on the couch with his legs crossed, casually closing the notebook on the coffee table.
"Auntie asked me to bring some stuff over. I went shopping with her today and bought a lot of baby supplies. They’re in the car outside, you can get them yourself."
Qin Mi tossed the car keys to Fu Bin, then turned to touch Chu Ci’s belly: "My little niece, your aunt brought you so many things today, all in pink."
"Qin Mi, I already have many baby items here. There’s really no space at home, so maybe don’t bring them in yet."
Chu Ci subtly expressed her intentions. She didn’t want the things Fu Bin’s mother bought, as her relationship with Fu Bin wasn’t what everyone imagined.
"Please don’t. I practically wore my legs out shopping for my little niece."
Chu Ci looked towards Fu Bin, hoping he would support her.
"Just accept my mom and Xiao Mi’s good intentions. The baby will need them eventually."
Fu Bin understood what Chu Ci meant, but he didn’t want to make things too clear-cut.
"Whatever."
Chu Ci’s makeup-free face showed obvious displeasure: "You all sit here, I’ll go check in the kitchen."
Chu Ci got up from the couch and headed straight to the kitchen: "Aunt Li, how’s dinner coming along? I’m a bit hungry."
"It’ll be ready soon. Just let me finish stir-frying this dish. Miss Chu, you should wait in the living room, there’s oil and smoke here."
Aunt Li was ready to start stir-frying the shrimp and cucumbers she was holding.
Chu Ci nodded and walked to the dining room, sitting directly on a chair.
"Brother, why do I feel like sis seems a bit unhappy? Did I say something wrong?"
Anyone could see the displeasure on Chu Ci’s face, and Qin Mi couldn’t help but quietly ask.
Fu Bin glanced at Chu Ci in the dining room: "It’s not your fault. Maybe it’s because of the pregnancy, her emotions have been quite sensitive lately."
Chu Ci propped her chin with one hand, her elegant fingers casually drawing circles on the table.
She felt particularly irritated. Not only did Fu Bin live here, but now even his family could come and go freely in her home.
A few minutes later, Aunt Li brought the dishes to the table, and after arranging them, she went to the living room to call Fu Bin: "Mr. Fu, dinner is ready."
"Alright, I’ll be there soon."
Fu Bin got up from the couch and patted Qin Mi on the shoulder: "Let’s eat."
The two sat down at the dining table, and Fu Bin placed a piece of braised pork ribs into Chu Ci’s bowl: "You must be tired this afternoon, eat more."
Chu Ci silently lowered her head, eating from her bowl without even looking at him.
"Sis, how about we go shopping together another day?"
