How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 396 - 398: Restraint_1

"Mr. Lu, hello," Qin Jin introduced Li Qiao to the other party.

The one called Mr. Lu had shaken hands with Qin Jin and then reached out to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao didn’t think much of it and was also about to raise her arm.

Qin Jin beat her to it, taking Mr. Lu’s hands once more, "Hello, hello, Mr. Lu, are you coming straight to sit beside me?"

Mr. Lu: "....." Now he had to sit because he felt that if he left, everyone would know he came for this kid’s woman.

But wasn’t everyone present a sharp cookie? His reaction didn’t escape the seasoned veterans’ eyes, and by sitting down, he only further confirmed his intentions.

Everyone wanted Mr. Lu’s investment, and upon seeing this, they now felt a bit disheartened.

However, for Qin Jin to swallow this lucrative opportunity, it seemed he would have to offer up his woman.

It seemed there were benefits to being uglier, at least no one would set their sights on you.

After everyone was seated, Qin Jin abandoned the idea of chatting freely with Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu kept asking about Li Qiao’s age and job situation from time to time.

Qin Jin retorted, "You’ve been asking for so long, why don’t you ask what I do?"

The whole table laughed.

Li Qiao laughed too, mostly out of confusion. The man was so close to them, and it was natural to ask her a few questions, so why was he getting jealous now? Wasn’t he afraid that it might jeopardize the investment?

Mr. Lu’s face turned red then white: "What is your main line of business?"

"Shoe sales and garment manufacturing......" Qin Jin repeated his factory’s situation, and then politely offered, "Mr. Lu, if you’re interested, you’re welcome to visit the factory."

Mr. Lu promised to visit the factory when he found the time and took the initiative to toast Li Qiao during the drinks.

"I shouldn’t really drink," Li Qiao picked up her teacup, "I’ll drink tea in place of alcohol, I hope Mr. Lu doesn’t mind."

"Just one glass, it won’t make you drunk. Come on."

"If Mr. Lu wants to drink, I’ll join you. Why bother a woman?" Qin Jin picked up the glass in front of Li Qiao with a welcoming smile, though his eyes were unforgiving as a knife.

Mr. Lu’s face once again couldn’t take it. Did this kid not know the rules? How had he slipped into this dinner?

After that, Mr. Lu no longer tried to get Li Qiao to drink.

Li Qiao also struck up a conversation with the women who were accompanying their partners to the dinner, who left their contact information and asked for Li Qiao’s in return.

After some thought, Li Qiao gave them the office phone number of the shoe factory managed by Qin Jin.

The dinner ended at ten o’clock.

Qin Jin took Li Qiao’s hand and walked her towards the car. She shifted to hooking her arm through his and whispered, "Everyone was crowding around Mr. Lu talking, aren’t you going to get closer? Weren’t you good at networking before?" She was curious about his changed demeanor, considering that he had been so enthusiastic when they arrived.

"I’m not fond of ingratiating myself," Qin Jin said. While he was opening the car door for Li Qiao, Mr. Lu came up to speak, "Qin Jin, right? I’ll visit your factory tomorrow, arrange it."

"Do you want to bring your wife along?"

Li Qiao: "....."

Mr. Lu: "....." How could he explicitly state it? He glanced at Li Qiao, who immediately gave a polite smile.

Red lips, white teeth—truly beautiful.

He never expected such an unassuming place could produce a woman of such grace and beauty. He felt an itch inside: "Bring her."

Qin Jin sneered coldly and handed over his card, "Just follow the address on here and go by yourself."

Mr. Lu: "....."

Qin Jin urged Li Qiao to get into the car and drove away.

Li Qiao, puzzled, asked, "Jin, why did you speak to Mr. Lu with such an attitude just now? If he wants to take me along, let him. Maybe he wants to observe how you treat your wife."

Qin Jin: "..." Is she naive or what? Couldn’t he see the attitude on the dinner table? She was the most beautiful, had the best complexion. Dressed in the most fashionably luxurious way. Taking her along tomorrow was obviously because he wanted to take advantage. "I think this person’s morals are questionable, and I don’t really want to deal with him in business." Next time anybody asks him to bring his wife to a dinner party, he wouldn’t take her.

It’s not just a feast for the eyes but also harbors other intentions.

Damn them! Just you wait!

Li Qiao’s eyes instantly twinkled with admiration: "You’re so impressive, a few words and you’ve judged someone’s character."

Qin Jin chuckled: "How could your man be anything less?"

"...."

...

After Li Qiao arrived home, Old Mrs. Qin had already gone to bed, so she washed up and went to sleep too.

The next day she sat in the courtyard soaking up the sun and reading a book when she noticed the branches in the yard were faintly showing signs of sprouting. Taking a pair of scissors and a dustpan, she began pruning paper strips for the plants, and as she was about to throw away the trash, a car came into view.

Li Qiao recognized it as Shangguan Qingfeng’s car.

The person who got out was indeed him.

Accompanying him was Zhuang Shu, holding a child in her arms, with bodyguards following behind, holding gifts.

"Li Qiao."

Li Qiao was surprised, "Are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Zhuang Shu smiled a little, it was her mother-in-law who had sent her; the old lady had learned that Li Qiao was also pregnant and insisted that she bring two ginseng roots over.

Li Qiao quickly ushered them into the courtyard and asked them to sit down; she brewed tea for them and brought out a stroller for the child to lie in. freёnovelkiss.com

Zhuang Shu was intrigued, "Were all these prepared for my family before?"

"No, the stroller was bought recently."

Zhuang Shu’s eyes curved in a smile; she surprisingly didn’t take the opportunity to cozy up. "I heard nowadays you can find out if it’s a boy or a girl. Is it a girl for you? The stroller looks so pink and tender."

"We didn’t check. My partner likes girls, so he bought all the little clothes and little shoes in girls’ styles," Li Qiao honestly replied. After the child lay down, she conveniently pulled down the thick gauze of the stroller’s canopy to block the sunlight from the child’s eyes.

Zhuang Shu casually picked up the book Li Qiao had placed on the table.

Pride and Prejudice.

The entire book in a foreign language.

"I’ve also read this book before, but now I’ve nearly forgotten its content."

Li Qiao: "Then just read it again. A good book is worth reading multiple times." She brought out her favorite pastries to treat Zhuang Shu.

Zhuang Shu took a bite, "This tastes good, not too sweet nor too bland."

Li Qiao: "I specifically asked the pastry chef to make it this way."

As they were talking, Nan Chuyi arrived, her gaze sweeping across, "Is it the young girl you used to foster, back at your home?"

"Yes," Li Qiao said and introduced Zhuang Shu and her husband to Nan Chuyi.

Knowing their status was not ordinary, Nan Chuyi slightly restrained her casual demeanor.

Zhuang Shu said, "So you’re the girl Li Qiao talked about, the one who caught a thug?"

"Yes, have they found the person yet?"

"Not yet," Zhuang Shu said. "Could you describe what happened at that time?"

Nan Chuyi recalled in detail, "As soon as I left the school, those two men were hiding with guns pointed at me, taking me to the outskirts. They said I’d offended someone I shouldn’t have and to stay at home the next day and not go anywhere, or they’d make me regret it. It was baffling, but luckily I knew some self-defense."

Shangguan Qingfeng lifted his gaze, his eyes measuring between Li Qiao and Nan Chuyi.

Their figures were similar.

Black hair, both looking fair-skinned.

The two men’s target must have been Li Qiao, plus what Qing Yuan had told him, Zhong Qiongsui was undoubtedly the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Your family’s child is growing up so well," Nan Chuyi said. "When Li Qiao and Qin Jin came to our house to pay a New Year’s visit, my father-in-law envied them for several days." Back home, my mother-in-law also laughed about it for several days, calling Old Mrs. Qin a foolish dolt.

It turned out that the child they had fostered had a biological father who was a grand master of Beijing.

Qin Jin had climbed onto this big tree, and the hidden resistance from various departments turned into propulsion overnight.

I heard from my father-in-law that social events Qin Jin couldn’t access before are now easily attended with just a show of face.

The potential benefits brought by a child were innumerable.

Zhuang Shu smiled radiantly, "Right, my family grows fonder of him the more they see him too."

As the women talked, Shangguan Qingfeng found no opportunity to interject, so he said to Zhuang Shu, "I have something brief to attend to; I’ll come back to pick you up later."

"Sure, go ahead with your work."

"...."
