Upon hearing the word "child," Green Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Yue Qingchen, who asked, "Are you all going out for dinner?"
"Yes, I'm here to pick up Qiqi to go home for dinner. You all carry on; we'll head back first!" After a slight nod, he turned around with the stiff woman in his arms, kindly opening the passenger door for her and fastening her seatbelt.
Green Qi couldn't resist glancing at the rearview mirror. In it, Mu Tongzi looked over with an indifferent expression, leaving her wondering what he was thinking.
That indifference made her speculate whether he was really angry. If so, what was he angry about?
Blinking her eyes, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the unfamiliar street scenery outside. She quickly turned back and asked, "Aren't you taking me home? Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you out to eat. Aren't you hungry?" Jiang Chengmu glanced at her with a smile on his lips, seemingly in a good mood. "Today we're going to Shell House for seafood; their crabs are quite good."
Not wanting to refuse his kindness, Green Qi nodded lightly without saying anything and turned her gaze back to the window.
The summer night fell late; at around seven o'clock, it was still not completely dark. The streetlights along the road had already lit up, and coincidentally it was rush hour. The traffic was quite congested for a while, but perhaps due to the temptation of good food, Green Qi didn't find the wait unbearable.
Shell House was a seafood processing club designed to resemble a large shell. Stepping into the booth that felt like an ocean world, Green Qi carefully examined the space. The oval area resembled an aquarium, with various tropical fish frolicking behind transparent glass walls. The design style was lively yet luxurious. By the time they were seated, the waiter had already brought the Lobby Manager over.
Watching them exchange pleasantries nearby, she remained silent, quietly sipping juice while observing the fish swim around.
The environment at Shell House was quite nice. Seeing how warmly the club manager interacted with Jiang Chengmu made her think that he must be a member here. Such high-end clubs usually required membership; having money alone wouldn't guarantee entry.
Despite it being just the two of them, Jiang Chengmu ordered an extravagant spread of seafood, which Green Qi found quite wasteful.
"Just the two of us eating, and you ordered such a big table. If we can't finish it, you'll have to take it home and eat it yourself!"
"You should eat a little more, try everything, and if you can't finish it, just pack it up!" He could only go along with her, fearing that she would get angry and lose her appetite.
After sipping the sweet seafood soup, Green Qi turned to look at the considerate man beside her who was peeling lobster for her. She frowned slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Jiang Chengmu, why are you acting so strange today? Even though we signed the Agreement and have been married for a year, you don't have to put yourself in such a position! If you have this time to accompany me, you might as well spend it romantically with your Beloved!"
The hand peeling the shrimp paused. Jiang Chengmu glanced at her and casually pulled off his gloves, placing the peeled shrimp in front of her. Even though he felt a lump in his throat, seeing her haggard face made him reluctant to lose his temper. "Wife, you may not fulfill your duties as a spouse, but you can't stop me from fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband, can you?"
Green Qi smiled lightly. "Now you want to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband? Don't you think it's too late?"
"As long as my wife gives me a chance, it's never too late!" Jiang Chengmu said earnestly, his handsome face serious and focused, instantly breaking down Green Qi's defenses.
