The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1257 - 632: Main Story Finale (Part 1)

Back in the bedroom after dinner, Song Qiao watched Lu Jingchen take clothes out of the closet one by one, momentarily confused about what he was doing. When she finally realized, she blinked and lazily asked, "Can I ask what you’re doing?"

Lu Jingchen held a set of clothes in one hand and glanced at both this set and that set, feeling neither were suitable. He returned them to the closet and pulled out two new sets, finally looking at Song Qiao on the bed and saying, "Didn’t we agree to visit the night market later? Which set will you wear first?"

Night market...

As soon as she heard Lu Jingchen’s words, her eyes lit up, and all her laziness and fatigue vanished. She glanced at the two sets in Lu Jingchen’s hand and pointed to the one on his left, "That one. The weather is cooling down, so I’ll wear a jacket later."

Night market... It’s been a long time since she’s been to a night market.

As a foodie, her favorite thing is trying all sorts of foods at the night market, eating one thing after another - it’s the best.

Thinking about the snack stalls at the night market, even after just having dinner, she couldn’t help but drool a bit.

Lu Jingchen glanced at the clothes in his left hand and felt his little wife’s eyes were sharp. After putting the other set back in the closet, he walked back to Song Qiao, looking down at the little woman before him and asked, "Need help changing, or will you do it yourself?"

Song Qiao suddenly recalled what she’d done with Lu Jingchen before, her face reddening. She quickly accepted the clothes from his hand, showing a slight smile, "I’ll do it."

She tossed the cushion on the bed and jumped off, heading to the bathroom.

Lu Jingchen didn’t stop her from changing in front of him, smiling charmingly as he headed to the kids’ room.

Lu Wangshu and Song Nianhuan knew they were going to the night market with their parents tonight and had already changed clothes early, waiting obediently in their room.

As Lu Jingchen approached, Lu Wangshu was reading a fairy tale to Song Nianhuan, who lay on her brother’s lap with a puzzled expression. She would ask questions directly like why the stepmother gave Snow White a poisoned apple, where the seven dwarfs came from, or how Little Red Riding Hood recognized the Big Bad Wolf...

Lu Wangshu seriously answered each question, showing no impatience.

Lu Jingchen stood in the doorway watching his daughter and son, a loving smile on his face, and walked in.

Hearing footsteps, the two kids looked at Lu Jingchen approaching. Song Nianhuan immediately jumped up and walked towards Lu Jingchen with small steps.

"Daddy..." The child’s sweet voice carried a hint of coquettishness as she jumped into Lu Jingchen’s arms.

Lu Jingchen bent over to hug the girl, "Hmm, changed already?"

Song Nianhuan nodded, then let go and twirled in front of him, "Daddy, do I look nice?"

Lu Jingchen nodded, "Nice."

Song Nianhuan was instantly satisfied, hugging Lu Jingchen’s leg, "Daddy, you look handsome too."

Lu Wangshu put down the storybook and stood, looking behind his father but not seeing his mother. He immediately asked, "Dad, where’s Mom?"

"Your mom is changing clothes; she’ll be ready soon. Let’s head out first."

"Okay."

...

The night market in An City is quite renowned in the country, as it offers many famous snacks. Many people come here for the food, and coincidentally, it’s the gourmet festival. The entire street is lined with various food stalls, buzzing with families and couples.

Lu Jingchen held Song Nianhuan in one arm and wrapped his other arm around his wife’s waist, while Lu Wangshu obediently held his mother’s hand, not running off.

Each child held a skewer of grilled meat in hand, and even Song Qiao had two skewers.

Initially, Lu Jingchen didn’t want them eating these, viewing them as junk food, but he softened seeing one adult and two kids look pitifully at him. Still, he limited them to two skewers each.

Enjoying her grilled meat, Song Qiao turned to Lu Jingchen, blinked and asked, "Lu Jingchen, aren’t you eating?"

Lu Jingchen turned, glancing at the skewer in Song Qiao’s hand, furrowing his brows but saying nothing.

Seeing his expression, Song Qiao beamed and offered the skewer to him, "Try it, it’s really tasty, cooked well."

Though his severe cleanliness made him dislike junk food, seeing her lively face, he couldn’t refuse and gingerly took a bite.

Song Qiao gently helped him eat the skewer. After he tasted it, she eagerly asked, "How is it? Tasty, right?"

Frowning, he swallowed the meat, initially wanting to say it was average, but seeing her sparkling eyes, he nods obligingly, "Hmm, it’s good."

Her smile broadened as she asked, "Since you think it’s good, can we buy more skewers?"

Lu Jingchen, "No."

"Didn’t you say it’s tasty? Why not?"

"Too much isn’t good."

"But I want more."

Unfazed, he lightly glanced at her and said, "If you want more, let’s head back now. I can grill them for you at home."

Song Qiao, "..." Okay, let’s pretend I never asked.

Indeed, shopping with a man wasn’t a wise choice, especially with Lu Jingchen in tow. That can’t be eaten, nor can this - it was torture just watching.
