Fang Mu was a dangerous person. Li Kui did not know what Fang Mu would do to Qiao Jiuyin, so he could only call Qiao Jiuyin out alone. He wanted to persuade her to come clean early.

Qiao Jiuyin was panicking inside, but her expression was calm.

She organized her words and said to Li Kui, “Li Kui, my sister’s death has dealt a huge blow to you. I’ll take what you said today as nonsense. This is the first time you’ve offended me, so I won’t fuss over it. Don’t come harassing me again. I’m a married woman. Meeting a single man alone can easily cause a misunderstanding. This will bring a lot of trouble to my family.”

After arranging her slightly messy bangs, Qiao Jiuyin said, “My husband is still waiting for me, so I’ll be leaving first.”

With that, she elegantly turned around and calmly left.

Li Kui stared at Qiao Jiuyin’s back, his eyes revealing a mix of disappointment and worry.

Qiao Jiuyin returned to the shop with items for mothers and infants. When she saw that Fang Mu had already chosen something, she took a deep breath and smiled. Then, she walked behind Fang Mu and patted his back.

Fang Mu turned around and met her bright smile.

As he stared at her smile, Fang Mu seemed dazed.

The way she smiles is really the most similar to Xiao Sheng in the world.

“What took you so long?” he asked.

“My stomach feels a little unwell. I stayed a little too long. Have you chosen everything?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m a little hungry. Let’s go eat.”

“Okay.”

Fang Mu brought Qiao Jiuyin to a Japanese restaurant.

Qiao Jiuyin stood outside the shop, her eyes revealing discomfort. “Can we go somewhere else?”

If it were in the past, Fang Mu would’ve definitely followed her.

However, today, he said in a non-negotiable tone, “You used to like to eat these strange things the most. I haven’t brought you here in a long time. Let’s go and try it.”

Qiao Jiuyin could only follow him in.

Fang Mu ordered one serving according to what Qiao Jiusheng liked. “Add mustard,” he specially instructed when he ordered.

Qiao Jiuyin’s face fell.

God knew she hated mustard.

In contrast, every time Qiao Jiusheng ate Japanese food, she would have mustard.

A variety of exquisite food was soon placed in front of Qiao Jiuyin. Other than seafood, which pregnant women could not eat, there was everything else. Fang Mu gently smiled at her and said, “This is your favorite squid. Try it.”

As Qiao Jiuyin looked at the dense flesh on the squid’s wrist, she felt disgusted.

Fang Mu stared at her face and saw her reaction. He asked, “What happened? You don’t want to eat? Do you still have no appetite?”

Shaking her head, Qiao Jiuyin ate one.

When she swallowed it, her stomach uncomfortably churned.

This was not due to pregnancy vomiting, but purely because she hated squid. The vomiting reaction was psychological. She tried to endure it, but in the end, she could not hold it in anymore. She said to Fang Mu, “My stomach is a little unwell. I’ll go to the washroom.” After saying that, without waiting for Fang Mu to reply, Qiao Jiuyin quickly got up and ran to the washroom.
