Let’s See How Long She Can Pretend (3)_1 Quan Jingwu did not immediately respond to him, instead he looked at Jian Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Mingxuan, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My wife is right here, where could she possibly escape to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing, who was chatting with Rhee, felt a gaze on her. She looked up and met the man’s dazzling violet eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, I need to borrow your husband for a bit.” Quan Mingxuan glanced in Song Xirou’s direction and said before Quan Jingwu could speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. Song Xirou’s hand, which was resting on her knee, fiercely clenched her skirt, concealing the malicious glint in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel like hitting someone. How should I do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingwu, we’re not going to kidnap your wife, you don’t have to keep a watch on her,” Rhee playfully teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, she only considered Jian Qing as her daughter-in-law; she wouldn’t entertain the idea of anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing gave Quan Jingwu a look, urging him to go ahead and avoid hearing even more outrageous remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Jingwu rose to his feet, and he and Quan Mingxuan departed for the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, there were only the four women left in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old saying goes, where there is a woman, there is a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after the two men left, Song Xirou lost her patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jian Qing, I heard that you weren’t in Beijing a while ago. Did you go on a trip?” She asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing’s eyes briefly darkened. She responded calmly, “Miss Song seems to know quite a lot about my whereabouts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Song Xirou’s smile faded slightly, but she quickly recovered and said, “Actually, I planned to go shopping with Yifei a few days ago and thought to invite you as well, only to hear that you were no longer in Beijing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yifei wasn’t at home today, Song Xirou had no hesitation in placing the blame on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing smirked, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, and Jian Qing, did something urgent come up? If you need any help, feel free to let us know. Don’t be shy.” Rhee, aware that she had returned to M Country in a hurry, suspected that something unfortunate might have happened there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing serious happened. Xiaojing was on a business trip and my brother and I decided to go back to M Country to visit my Grandpa,” Jian Qing shook her head and said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Grandpa?” Rhee was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew a little about Jian Qing’s relationship with the An family, but she had no idea that Jian Qing had a grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing nodded slightly, “I’ll be heading back there again in a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her gaze flickering towards Song Xirou, then continued, “I’ll be going with Xiaojing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t she quite tolerant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to see how long she can play this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s great. Jingwu can bring some gifts and pay a nice visit to your Grandpa.” Said Rhee excitedly, her eyes sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing could be better than getting to know the parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jingwu could win over Jian Qing’s Grandpa, her wish of having Jian Qing as her daughter-in-law would be even closer to a reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for gifts. My Grandpa just wants to meet Xiaojing,” Jian Qing said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhee shook her head, “That won’t do. It’s customary for a man to bring gifts when he visits his girlfriend’s parents. When Ahao first visited my father, he prepared a lot of gifts as a token of his intentions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, Jingwu should definitely prepare some gifts,” the elderly Madame Quan agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing, unable to persuade them otherwise, nodded in acquiescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Madame Quan and Rhee began discussing what gifts Jingwu should bring. Jian Qing occasionally chimed in. The three of them seemed to enjoy themselves very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xirou was once again forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to let Jian Qing steal all her thunder, Song Xirou spoke again, “Madame Quan, I heard that you are very skilled in making chocolate. Could you teach me some of the techniques you use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhee, who didn’t particularly like Song Xirou, didn’t immediately agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Jian Qing next to her and asked softly, “Little Qingqing, do you want some chocolate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing, seeing the expectation in Rhee’s eyes, changed what she was about to say, “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her future daughter-in-law wants to eat chocolate, Rhee would certainly make some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go and make some now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhee, pulling Jian Qing up, cheerfully set off with her, determined to show off her skills in front of her future daughter-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at how Jian Qing easily got Rhee on her side made Song Xirou clench her teeth in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xirou, didn’t you want to learn?” Madame Quan, noticing that Song Xirou had yet to move, asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing her lapse, Song Xirou replied with a soft smile, “Yes, I’ll join you. Madame Quan, I will come back to keep you company later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing her sentence, she rose to her feet and followed Rhee and Jian Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen used for making desserts was separate. It was a spacious, clean kitchen with all the necessary tools for making desserts set out on the countertop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Qingqing, your hand is injured, so just watch from the sidelines.” Rhee said kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing nodded and watched as Rhee busied herself in the kitchen. Song Xirou seemed to have some experience making desserts and skillfully gathered the ingredients needed to make chocolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making good chocolate isn’t an easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhee prepared the ingredients, starting to work and chatting with Jian Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Qingqing, did you know? I used to love making these little desserts. But that brat, Jingwu, has never appreciated it. Over all these years, he has hardly eaten any sweets I made since he was a child, except for a piece of chocolate when he was very young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her son did not eat her desserts, she had to feed them all to her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing chuckled lightly, “Xiaojing doesn’t really like sweet food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhee kept working without pausing and looked up at Jian Qing before saying, “If Little Qingqing made chocolate, that brat Jingwu would definitely eat it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Jian Qing had a thought, “Auntie, why don’t you teach me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her cooking skills were poor, chocolate didn’t require cooking, certainly, it wouldn’t be dangerous enough to blow up the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now?” Rhee was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about your hand?” Rhee asked hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I’ll wear gloves.” Jian Qing picked up the gloves on the table, “Moreover, these are just some scrapes. They’re healing. It’s not a big deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing her persistence, Rhee agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t force yourself. If you can’t do it, so be it. I can teach you next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure,” she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-03T14:26:08.783Z",1,"novelbin.me","b332e6458ce5c990fb69f76098f66dc07d72c1d4a4b3e7395c1c9a80fa5931a1","monopolize-my-mysterious-wife-chapter-312","monopolize-my-mysterious-wife-chapter-311",1182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonopolize-my-mysterious-wife-cover.jpg"]
