As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 775
Chapter 775: An Accident During the Prenatal Examination!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Tonight, why don’t you and Old Master come over for dinner, and you can also invite Grandpa and the others!”
“Alright, let’s catch up then!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile.
Just thinking about how his father-in-law urgently called him right after lunch to inquire about his meeting with Number One, the urgency in his tone was unmistakable.
“What’s wrong? What did my dad say?” Jiang Li sat beside Zhou Chao, leaning against him.
“He just wanted to ask about this morning’s matter. Oh, tonight, your father and Old Master will come over for dinner. Tell Aunt Kuang to prepare extra dishes for tonight.”
Jiang Li could tell that Zhou Chao must have met some important figure this morning, otherwise, her father wouldn’t have urgently called to inquire, nor would they be coming over for dinner tonight.
As a sensible woman, Jiang Li knew what questions to ask and what not to ask!
“Got it. Tonight, I’ll have Aunt Kuang prepare a few dishes they like. Do you want anything to drink?”
“We’ll see. Depends on whether Grandpa wants to drink. If there’s business to discuss tonight, he probably won’t drink.”
“Alright, then I’ll take care of it!”
“You can assign these tasks to Lin Wu. And make sure you get plenty of rest!” Zhou Chao said, placing his hand on Jiang Li’s belly again.
“Brother Chao, I feel the baby’s been particularly active these past two days, moving around a lot in my belly.”
Zhou Chao paused for a moment. Jiang Li was almost seven months pregnant, and if the baby’s movements were frequent, it could be a physiological change or a sign of oxygen deficiency. If it was the former, it was fine, but if it was the latter, they needed to go to the hospital.
Using his skills as a month nurse, Zhou Chao quickly thought of the crucial factor.
“Ouch, the little one just kicked me!”
Jiang Li’s whimper brought Zhou Chao’s thoughts back.
“Let’s go check in the afternoon. We haven’t been to the hospital for a check-up in a while!” Zhou Chao said, still somewhat worried.
Hearing this, Jiang Li nodded without hesitation. “Shall we go to the hospital now?”
Glancing at the time, it was about one thirty in the afternoon. Going to the hospital now would allow them to arrive while the doctors were still on duty in the afternoon.
“Yeah, do you need to change clothes? If not, we can leave now!”
Zhou Chao didn’t want to waste time. After all, no one knew how long they would be delayed at the hospital.
Glancing at her outfit, which was maternity wear, Jiang Li shook her head after a moment of thought. “No need to change. I’ll just put on a coat when we get there.”
She gestured towards the white down jacket on the sofa.
After a brief stop at home, explaining the dinner arrangements to Lin Wu and Aunt Kuang, Zhou Chao grabbed his down jacket and held Jiang Li’s hand as they headed to the garage.
“After you, my beautiful lady!” Zhou Chao opened the passenger door, bending slightly at the waist.
Seeing Zhou Chao’s gesture, Jiang Li’s face lit up with a smile. She gave Zhou Chao a “well done” look before getting into the car.
“Seatbelt on!”
“Can you help me with it~” Jiang Li said coyly.
Upon hearing Jiang Li’s playful voice, Zhou Chao shivered all over. Looking at her rosy face and fair, rounded features, he felt a dryness in his mouth and tongue, murmuring to himself, “Such a little demon!”
Zhou Chao bent down, pulled out the seatbelt, and fastened it for Jiang Li. Just as he was about to withdraw, Jiang Li smirked mischievously and pushed Zhou Chao in front of her.
Before he could react, he found himself buried in softness, unable to resist extending his tongue involuntarily.
“Oh my, Brother Chao, you’re so naughty, always taking advantage of others!” Jiang Li said, lightly tapping Zhou Chao’s shoulder.
Before Zhou Chao could recover, Jiang Li immediately played the victim!
Zhou Chao quickly stood up, feeling a lingering fragrance on his nose, a hint of reluctance flashing through his mind.
“All right, Jiang Li, so you’re plotting against your husband, huh? You say I’m taking advantage of you? Let me teach you a lesson!”
For a moment, the two of them engaged in role-playing.
Zhou Chao mockingly adjusted his sleeves, preparing to “educate” Jiang Li, but their game was interrupted by a voice!
“Boss, what are you doing?”
Zhou Chao’s movements froze, and he turned around to see Lin Wu holding the car keys, apparently ready to go out.
Lin Wu also noticed Jiang Li being blocked by Zhou Chao and instantly understood what was going on. He seemed to have interrupted the boss’s good time.
“Where are you going?” Zhou Chao glanced at Lin Wu with a slightly displeased expression, realizing that he probably witnessed what just happened.
“Boss, I’m going to buy groceries. Oh, I forgot my phone. I’ll go back and look for it!” With that, Lin Wu turned around and quickly left the garage.
Watching Lin Wu run off, the two burst into laughter, and any lingering resentment Zhou Chao felt disappeared without a trace.
“See, your husband’s heroic image was ruined right here in the garage by you!” Zhou Chao joked.
“Heroic image? Who was the one lying on top of me and sticking out their tongue just now?” Jiang Li teased Zhou Chao.
Even Zhou Chao, who rarely joked, couldn’t help but smile awkwardly at her words.
“Who stuck out their tongue? I was just trying to catch my breath from being suffocated!”
