Monopolize My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 162: 162, Supermarket Mistreats Dog (3)_1 Chapter 162: 162, Supermarket Mistreats Dog (3)_1 Jian Qing’s lips curved upward subtly as her clear eyes skimmed over them, looking slightly past, “Really? Why don’t you ask the person involved directly?”

Yang Lin had a feeling something wasn’t right, “What do you mean by that?”

An Rong and Yang Xiang thought that Jian Qing was just beating around the bush, sneering dismissively. They were about to continue speaking when a car honk interrupted them.

The three women turned around; their hearts leaped on seeing the person stepping out of the car.

When Quan Jingwu spotted his darling being surrounded, his brows furrowed as he walked over without sparing a glance at An Rong or the others.

“Xiaojing!” Jian Qing’s eyes lit up.

Quan Jingwu took her hand, “Did anyone bother you?”

Before he finished speaking, An Rong and the other two’s hearts sank, fearful that Jian Qing would tattle.

Jian Qing glanced at them, then looked up at Quan Jingwu, “No. Just three buzzing flies.”

Quan Jingwu affectionately stroked her hair and shot a cold look at the three women, “If any fly upsets you, just swat it.”

“Mm-mm!” Jian Qing giggled and nodded her head.

Their nonchalant conversation infuriated these three women so much that they could only repress their anger.

“Let’s go, time to go home.” Quan Jingwu took Jian Qing’s hand and they drove away, leaving behind a cloud of dust for the other three.

“Oh, I’m so mad!” Yang Xiang stomped her foot angrily, her gaze stubbornly fixed on the disappearing car.

“That bitch Jian Qing, she had the audacity to call us flies, she’s unbelievable!”

Yang Lin’s face was also dark but she managed to compose herself better than Yang Xiang.

“Mom, Xiangxiang, let’s leave Jian Qing alone for a few days. Judging by Quan Jingwu’s attitude just now, we have to be careful. We can’t be too sure he won’t side with her against us.”

Yang Xiang was the first to object.

“Why should we? Did you not see how arrogant she was? I can’t stand her being so triumphant!”

This time, An Rong agreed with her eldest daughter’s suggestion, coldly stating, “Xiangxiang, your sister is right. Jian Qing has Quan Jingwu to back her now. Don’t be impulsive and provoke her. Didn’t you notice An Yu isn’t bothering her much lately?”

Facing her mother’s cold gaze, Yang Xiang reluctantly silenced her objections.

…

Inside the car, Jian Qing leaned against the window, looking somewhat absent-minded.

A warm hand held hers, gently squeezing it.

“Are you unhappy, darling?”

Jian Qing came back to earth and saw the faint worry in his eyes, shook her head and smiled, “No.”

They stopped at a red light, he looked at her, “Darling, like I said, don’t force yourself to smile, especially not in front of me.”

She lowered her head and remained silent. She did understand but after so many years, donning a smile had become a habitual disguise.

Quan Jingwu silently watched her, not pressing the issue.

After a while, she spoke up in a low voice, “Xiaojing, will you always be with me?”

A light chuckle sounded as he pulled her into his embrace, his cold lips lightly brushing her forehead, “Silly, who gave you the permission to ask such stupid questions, listen well, this lifetime I’m bound to you, and you will never escape from me.”

Resting her head on his shoulder, Jian Qing closed her eyes and a warm smile appeared on her face, “Xiaojing, you better keep your word. Betray me once, and you will never see me again.”

Her voice was soft but resolute.

Quan Jingwu’s eyes darkened slightly, and he murmured, “Mm.”

The sound of car horns pulling her out of thoughts, Jian Qing looked up and realized the traffic light had turned green, she gave an apologetic wave to the vehicles behind them.

“Xiaojing, let’s get going.”

Noticing her mood had lifted, Quan Jingwu started the car.

They arrived at the supermarket according to their plan, like any other couple, without clearing the premises.

Quan Jingwu was pushing the shopping cart with one hand and holding Jian Qing with the other. Their striking good looks attracted attention wherever they went.

A passerby in the supermarket was filming them with their phone, yet politely keeping their distance, not to disturb them. Jian Qing didn’t mind, after all, it was all out of curiosity and they would lose interest after a while.

After his last disastrous cooking attempt, Quan Jingwu was determined to improve his culinary skills, especially since his darling loved to eat.

As the saying goes, “Grab the stomach to seize the heart.”

After buying a large amount of ingredients, they finally moved on to the snack aisle.

Looking at the dazzling array of snacks, Jian Qing’s eyes practically sparkled.

She let go of Quan Jingwu’s hand and walked to the aisle to pick snacks meticulously. She held two packs of chips in her hand, unsure of which flavor to choose.

“Darling, don’t buy too much junk food.”

Jian Qing pouted her lips and looked at him discontentedly, “But I like it, will you buy it for me?”

She knew she shouldn’t have brought him for snack shopping, next time she would come with Snowball.

Other couples in the supermarket glancing towards them, hearing Quan Jingwu, other men immediately echoed his sentiment to their girlfriends or wives.

“Did you hear that? These are junk food, not good to eat too much, we should buy less today.”

The women look annoyed, but recalling the man of their dreams words just now, they began deliberating over their snack choices.

Before they could make up their minds, they heard Quan Jingwu’s voice again.

“Okay, I’ll make an exception today. But no more from the next time.” Remembering her somber face when she emerged from the An’s old house, he gave in.

Quan Jingwu grabbed the chip packets from her hand and threw them into the cart.

Jian Qing’s eyes curved into a smile, continuing to pick out snacks. From then on, anything she mentioned she liked, Quan Jingwu automatically added to the cart.

“Xiaojing, I like the seaweed of this flavor.”

“Buy it!”

“Xiaojing, I like these fries.”

“Buy it!”

“Xiaojing, I like this ice cream!”

“Buy it!”

The other couple was dumbfounded at the sudden twist. The man who was earlier resolute now wore a look of despair, while the woman who had been deliberating gleefully began making her choices.

“See? Jing can buy it, so I am going to buy this, this and this…”
The man looking at the ever-increasing pile of snacks in his cart, felt a pang of distress for his wallet.

He silently lamented in his heart —
Jing, can you stay solid and set a good example? You can’t harm people like this!
