Chapter 455: 441. Punish as You Wish (2)_1
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to leave now.”
“Wait.” Seeing her about to leave, Khan quickly spoke up.
Xiya had a calm expression on her face, “Is there anything else?”
Khan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gift box, handing it to Xiya.
“This is for the baby, consider it a gift from me.”
What he didn’t say was that the necklace inside was specially designed for her, but he knew that if he said it was for her, she would definitely refuse to accept it.
Xiya lowered her gaze and glanced at the deep-blue velvet gift box. She looked at him and declined, “Thank you for your kindness, but it’s not necessary.”
Her refusal didn’t surprise him. However, hearing her rejection with his own ears still made his heart sting.
He held the gift box tightly in his hand, a trace of hurt flashing in his face. “Xiya, you said we’re still friends. Can’t friends give gifts to each other?”
Xiya straightforwardly met his gaze. After a while, she slowly reached out and took the gift box from his palm.
“I accept the gift. Thank you.”
A glimmer of joy appeared in Khan’s heart as his gaze fell on her round belly.
A faint bitterness came over him. How nice it would be if he was the child’s father.
Xiya sensed his gaze on her belly, a hint of darkness swept past her eyes. “It’s getting late, I should go now.”
This time, Khan didn’t stop her.
He silently watched her leave, his legs so heavy it was as if they were filled with lead.
Once she arrived home, Xiya sat in the living room, her gaze resting on the gift box in her hand, lost in thought.
She sighed lightly, opened the box, and a delicately made necklace came into view. The sparkling pink diamond moved her heart.
She took out the necklace, her fingertips lightly touching the beautiful cut pink diamond, a faint trace of a smile on her lips.
“Little princess, what do you think mommy should do?” she mused to herself.
Was coming to Beijing this time right or wrong?
…
“Sis, why hasn’t dad arrived yet?” Jian Luo finished packing her bag, turned around and asked Jian Qing.
The press conference was over, and all that was left was the launch of the jewelry series under San Yue. Jian Luo had already completed the design drawings and naturally felt relaxed. Therefore, Jian Qing and her team decided to return to M Country that night.
Jian Qing looked at the time, “He should be here soon.”
“My dear, why are you in such a hurry to return to M Country? It’s so late,” Xiya said, patting her stuffed stomach.
“Because the press conference delayed us by two days and we want to surprise Grandpa by returning tonight,” Jian Qing replied with a smile.
“Would you like to come with us?”
Xiya shook her head, “No, I’ll stay here, take this opportunity to enjoy the sights of Beijing.”
Hearing this, Jian Qing didn’t force her. She just said, “Take good care of yourself, and call me if you need anything.”
Xiya nodded with a grinning face, “I knew you cared about me the most.”
At that moment, Quan Jingwu descended the stairs with a suitcase.
Xiya glanced at his clothes out of the corner of her eye and looked at Jian Qing with a teasing smile, “My dear, I’m overfull from dinner, how can you force-feed me dog food (couple’s affection)?”
Jian Qing gave her a look and made her way over to Quan Jingwu.
Under the light, both of them were wearing sky-blue woolen sweaters. It was clearly a couples’ outfit.
Quan Jingwu put down his suitcase and noticed her damp hair, he frowned, “Why didn’t you blow-dry your hair?”
“It’s nothing, it’s breezy outside. It will dry soon,” she softly responded.
“No, you’ll catch a cold.”
With that, he led her to the guest room, leaving Jian Luo and Xiya speechless.
In the guest room, the sound of the hair dryer hummed.
Jian Qing was sitting on the sofa, enjoying having her hair dried by a man.
With the warm wind blowing on her head, she couldn’t help but think about the fact that he would be leaving in a few days.
“Jingwu, you are spoiling me like this. Who will dry my hair for me when you’re not around?”
Quan Jingwu’s thin lips curved slightly, his tone was affectionate, “Then remember, wait for my return, and then you can punish me as you wish, okay?”
Jian Qing raised her head, her dark eyes twinkling like the stars, “You promise, you can’t go back on your word later.”
“Okay.”
Her hair was almost dry and he put the hair dryer away.
“Jingwu!”
Hearing her voice, Quan Jingwu instinctively turned around.
In that instant, she reached out to embrace him, offering her reddened lips.
“What should I do if I can’t bear to part with you?”
She just pressed her lips against his, murmuring softly.
He hasn’t even left yet, but she already couldn’t bear it.
She had a premonition that his departure this time would be long, not like before when he could return in a few days.
Quan Jingwu’s eyes suddenly deepened, and he deepened the kiss. His sensual lips caught hers, dominating and taking her breath away.
Jian Qing circled his neck, obediently following his lead as the fervent kiss gradually became more tenderness, filled with their reluctance to part.
After a long while, Quan Jingwu let her go, their foreheads rested against each other, their breaths intermingling.
A blush crawled up her fair, jade-like cheeks. Jian Qing faced the man’s gaze, his deep purple eyes only reflecting her image.
“Be good, as soon as it snows, I’ll be back,” He said in a husky voice, his fingertips stroking her soft cheek.
She nodded and lifted her hand to caress his face.
“I will remember what you said.”
With those words, she tiptoed and left a deep kiss on his lips.
“Mwah ”
Quan Jingwu curved his lips in satisfaction and held her tightly in his arms.
His silly girl!
Over there, Mo Xiao was about to leave when he was stopped by two unexpected visitors.
“What are you doing here?” He furrowed his brows at the two at the doorway, his voice cold.
Zhou Qi looked at the exasperation on his face, her heart ached. “Azhe, it’s cold outside, can we continue our conversation inside?”
Mo Xiao responded, “No, I’m busy.”
His indifferent tone was even colder than the chilling winter breeze outside.
It was not easy to see him, and Zhou Qi did not want to cause a scene.
She lowered her guard, pleading sincerely, “Azhe, mom knows she was wrong. Please forgive mom this one time. I promise not to cause trouble for Jian Qing again.”
