Chapter 727 - 727 713 Awaiting commands from the elderly master

Chapter 727: 713, Awaiting commands from the elderly master (3)_1 Chapter 727: 713, Awaiting commands from the elderly master (3)_1 Jian Qing propped a pillow against her back and thought it would probably still be daytime in M Country now. So, she made a video call to Jian Luo.

In no time, the call was picked up and Jian Luo’s voice came through.

“Sis? Isn’t it midnight in Beijing? Why aren’t you asleep?” As the video lit up, the warm smile on Luo’s face filled Jian Qing’s gaze.

“I was hungry, and woke up to get something to eat.” Jian Qing chuckled, her gaze drawn to what he was holding in his hand.

“Luo, where did you get that ice-cream from?”

It’s not even summer yet, how could Black Jack possibly let him eat ice cream?

“I bought it,” Jian Luo bragged, scooping a huge spoonful of ice cream into his mouth right before Jian Qing’s eyes.

“It tastes incredible, it’s chocolate flavored.”

Jian Qing stared at the ice cream in his hand, her mouth watering.

“Luo, is it fair for you to tempt me with that in the middle of the night?”

Jian Luo’s eyes narrowed into a grin, “No worries, I’ll eat your share for you.”

“Get lost.” Jian Qing retorted, then her eyes shifted, “Are you not afraid of Black Jack finding out you bought ice cream behind his back?”

“Who says it’s behind his back? He bought this for me,” Jian Luo replied smugly.

“He bought it for you?” Jian Qing said, not believing.

“Of course.”

“Has he lost his mind?”

Otherwise, why would he buy ice cream, something he utterly despises?

“There’ll be car races soon in both F Country and Switzerland. I was supposed to go with Bai Jue, but Black Jack couldn’t spare time from his work in Y Country and insisted that I stay and keep him company. He bought me this ice cream to please me,” Jian Luo explained.

Jian Qing laughed softly.

No wonder, she was wondering if Black Jack had changed his stripes.

“Don’t you and Bai Jue go together every year? Why aren’t you going this year?” In the past they would always go together if they had the time. If she wasn’t pregnant now, she would be out and about too.

As Jian Luo ate his ice cream, he replied, “I will skip the races in F Country and go only for the ones in Switzerland. Bai Jue says the races in F Country aren’t interesting, they’re too mismatched.”

“Will it still be at the same place in Switzerland?” Jian Qing raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, the same place we went to before,” Jian Luo said, “Sis, you’re not thinking of going there, are you?”

“You think your sister can go now?” Jian Qing rolled her eyes and said resignedly.

Expecting twins, where could she go?

“You better focus on your pregnancy. I’ll bring you something tasty from Switzerland,” Jian Luo laughed.

“Wait a moment, why are you alone? Where is Quan Jingwu?” Jian Luo finally noticed that something was odd. They had been talking for a while and he hadn’t seen Quan Jingwu yet.

Jian Qing replied, “He went to get me something to eat.”

“Sis, when’s your next prenatal check-up?” Out of the blue, Jian Luo asked.

Jian Qing smirked, “Why, do you want to go with me?”

“Absolutely, just say the word,” Jian Luo joked, “I am at your service.”

Jian Qing found it funny. She noticed he had already eaten more than half the box of ice cream and reminded him, “Don’t eat too much or you might get a stomachache, like last time. Don’t give Black Jack a reason to outright ban your ice cream.”

“I know,” Jian Luo took another bite of ice cream, then stopped, “Let me know ASAP whether the baby is a boy or a girl.”

Jian Qing agreed, then asked, “How are things with the elder’s council? Has anyone given you a hard time?”

Jian Luo shook his head, “Don’t worry, sis, your little brother is resilient.”

“Yup, not a vegetarian, but a carnivorous lion,” Jian Qing jokingly said.

They chatted a bit about moving the company in S City to Beijing, then Jian Luo was called away by Black Jack. Jian Qing ended the call and saw that nearly twenty minutes had passed since Quan Jingwu left.

She got out of bed, grabbed her coat, put it on, and was about to leave the room when she heard the sound of familiar footsteps.

She opened the door and came face-to-face with Quan Jingwu.

“Why did you get out of bed?” He held a bag in one hand and took her hand in the other.

“You were gone for so long, so I thought I’d go down and check.”

Quan Jingwu helped her sit on the couch, then opened the pizza packaging for her. As soon as the box was opened, the aroma filled the air.

Jian Qing’s eyes lit up, looking eagerly at the freshly baked pizza.

“It’s too late, just eat one slice. If you want more, I’ll get you another one tomorrow,” Quan Jingwu grabbed a slice, holding it up to her mouth for her to eat.

“Alright,” Jian Qing nodded, biting into the pizza. She didn’t know if it was because she was particularly hungry or for some other reason, but she didn’t feel nauseous for once, she kept taking another bite after another without feeling any aversion.

“Xiaojing, aren’t you going to have a piece?” She lifted her head to look at him. Her moist lips were shiny with oil, and the soft light only made her cute little face look even more alluring.

Quan Jingwu shook his head. He never cared much for such food.

Jian Qing polished off the final bits of the slice, feeling full with just one. She wiped her mouth with a napkin, her eyes crinkling in satisfaction.

“Let’s take a walk to help with digestion.” Quan Jingwu cleaned his hands, stood up and offered it to her for support as they slowly walked around the room.

“Xiaojing, I’ll go to the office with you tomorrow,” Jian Qing suggested, her head tilted to look at the person beside her.

He had been spending most his time with her at home recently, barely attending to the company. He even postponed important meetings.

Lowering his gaze to meet hers, Quan Jingwu asked in a low voice, “What made you want to come to the office with me?”

Jian Qing replied, “I’m sick of staying at home all the time.”

“Okay,” remember what the doctor had said about pregnant women needing to walk around more for an easier childbirth, Quan Jingwu agreed.

In the warm glow of the light, the silhouette of a man holding a woman appeared on the floor-length window. Her slightly protruding belly adding a touch of warmth to the scene.

…

JK International

CEO’s Office

Quan Jingwu had to go to a meeting as soon as he arrived at the company. Jian Qing didn’t go with him and decided to play online games with Bai Jue on her tablet instead.

After one round, Bai Jue was still unable to escape being defeated.

Just as Jian Qing was about to start another game, her phone rang.

She picked it up, it was an unfamiliar number.

She put the tablet down and answered the call.

“Who is it?”

“Jian Qing, it’s me, Chu Yihen.”

Recognizing the man’s husky voice, Jian Qing smirked.

So, he couldn’t resist any longer.

“What do you want?”

“Jian Qing, I’m in the cafe across from JK International right now. Can you come down and talk with me?” Chu Yihen asked.

Jian Qing looked unimpressed. “How did you know I was at JK International? Did you have someone keep tabs on me?”

She knew if she was being followed, but she was curious how Chu Yihen knew she was currently at JK International.

“I didn’t, I swear. I was in the area for work and saw you leave the car,” Chu Yihen reflexively explained.

He knew she didn’t have a good impression of him, but he didn’t want her to get him wrong either.
