My Wealthy Boss Is Pregnant With My Baby Chapter 5
byChapter 5 A pair, but very similar to… Couple costumes.
Qu Mingluo stopped rummaging and turned around.
The light from the ceiling lamp in the cloakroom poured down from above his head, casting a small shadow in the eye socket, making him look deeper and more elusive than usual.
“Why forget it?” he asked.
Qi Jie squeezed the corners of his shirt and said, “My clothes are very cheap to begin with, so it won’t hurt if it gets stained with wool.”
“So?” Qu Mingluo took a step towards him.
“So there’s no need to compensate.” Qi Jiejie subconsciously stepped back and pressed his back against the cold closet door. “Besides, theoretically speaking, it’s me who should compensate you for your sweater.”
“Theoretically?” Qu Mingluo took another step closer. The distance between the two was so close that Qi Jiejue could smell the faint scent of woody perfume on his body. “You want to say that I am unnecessary?”
Qi Jiejie’s Adam’s apple rolled. He wanted to say yes, but looking at Qu Mingluo’s eyes, his tongue felt like it was tied up.
“I…”
“I understand.” Qu Mingluo said, “You are not satisfied with the clothes here and feel that I have neglected you, then you and I…”
Before he finished speaking, Qi Jiejue quickly picked up one and walked inside: “I’ll change my clothes. Mr. Qu will wait for me.”
Qu Mingluo stopped talking and just let him go.
Not long after, Qi Jiejue changed his clothes and came out.
He was a little embarrassed to look directly into Qu Mingluo’s eyes, but after Qu Mingluo saw him, he praised him: “It looks good. It suits you very well.”
Qi Jiejie lowered his head and looked at the clothes on his body.
This is a light gray cashmere sweater, soft to the touch, the cuffs just reach his wrists, and the shoulder line also fits well, as if it was tailor-made.
“This is really…” He tugged at the corner of his clothes, “It’s too expensive.”
Qu Mingluo said: “If you don’t like it, just follow me and go to my place to choose.”
Qi Jiejue looked up at him, then shook his head quickly.
Qu Mingluo nodded, then turned and walked out: “Go downstairs, we are not here, Xiaoxing has to wait impatiently.”
Qi Jiejie followed him, his fingers caressing the texture of cashmere unconsciously.
The tags on the clothes were still there. He had seen them when he was changing them just now. They were more expensive than he thought and would be enough for him to live alone for a long time.
Qi Jiexue looked at his back in front of him, and suddenly remembered the smell of woody perfume on Qu Mingluo’s body when he was in the cloakroom just now.
“Mr. Qu.” He couldn’t hold back and called out.
Qu Mingluo stopped and asked, “What?”
“Thank you.”
After they arrived downstairs, Xi Xingyu had already changed places to sit.
Seeing them coming down, Xi Xingyu’s eyes lit up: “Brother Xiaoqi! You have changed your clothes!”
“Yeah.” Qi Jiejue walked over, “Does it look good?”
“It’s beautiful!” Xi Xingyu said, “This one is the same as my brother’s!”
Qi Jiejue was stunned for a moment. He looked down at his own clothes and then at Qu Mingluo’s. They were all wearing light gray and cashmere sweaters. At first glance, they looked the same.
Not exactly the same, but very similar…
Couple outfit.
“It’s not the same.” Qu Mingluo said and sat down next to him, “They are not from the same family.”
Qi Jiexue breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xi Xingyu would say something else that he didn’t know how to answer.
“But they look alike!” Xi Xingyu said excitedly, “You! You are all my brothers!”
“Okay.” Qi Jiejue said, “We are all your brothers to begin with.”
Xi Xingyu laughed and continued playing with his toys.
Qi Jiejie always feels uncomfortable all over his body.
This clothes is too soft and completely different from my usual clothes.
“Brother Xiaoqi.” Xi Xingyu suddenly said, “Will you send me to school tomorrow?”
“Me?”
“I’ll see you off.” Qu Mingluo said, “He has to go to work, so he doesn’t have to get up as early as you.”
“Then if my brother gave it to me, can he also give it to brother Xiaoqi?” Xi Xingyu asked him, “Would it be too troublesome?”
“You ask this because you don’t want me to see you off?” Qu Mingluo said, “If you don’t want me to see you off, then the driver will see you off.”
Xi Xingyu pursed his lips: “Then you should give it to me.”
After Qi Jiejie heard this conversation, he suddenly realized that the child in front of him just wanted him to send her to school.
He looked at Qu Mingluo and asked, “How about I go and deliver it?”
“You are too indulgent to him, you can’t do this.” Qu Mingluo said, “Always let him know that no one should spend all their time with him.”
“If you don’t give it, you won’t give it away. Can I make another request?” Xi Xingyu looked at Qu Mingluo and asked.
“Tell me, what do you want?”
Xi Xingyu blinked and showed a sly smile: “I want Brother Xiaoqi to take me to the amusement park.”
“Ask your parents. If they agree, you can ask Brother Xiaoqi for permission.”
“They are not at home.” Xi Xingyu turned to Qi Jiejue, “Brother Xiaoqi, do you want to go?”
Qi Jiejue looked at the child’s expectant eyes and caught a glimpse of Qu Mingluo’s slightly frowning brows.
He knew this was not something he should agree to, but Xi Xingyu’s eyes were too bright.
“I can’t decide this. Ask your brother,” he said. “I’ll go if he agrees.”
Xi Xingyu immediately turned to Qu Mingluo and clasped his hands together: “Brother, please.”
“It depends on your performance.”
Qu Mingluo said this with an almost indifferent tone.
“Brother Xiaoqi, do you want to go?” Xi Xingyu said, “If you want to go, we don’t have to worry about my brother’s wishes.”
Xi Xingyu looked at him with bright eyes, such expectant eyes that Qi Jiejie didn’t know how to say rejection.
But he knew that he still had to listen to Qu Mingluo’s wishes on this matter.
“Go.” Qu Mingluo said, “I’ll go with you, otherwise if you lose it, how can your brother Xiaoqi be responsible for it alone?”
“I’m not such a stupid kid!” Xi Xingyu said, “My brother is so bad. I’m going to complain to my parents.”
“Just like you said, your parents are not here. If you call them now, what will you do if they are sleeping?”
“It’s boring.” Xi Xingyu became happy again after saying that, “But I can go to the amusement park!”
Qi Jiejie smiled and nodded. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qu Mingluo looking at him. His gaze was not deep, as if it was just a casual glance, so Qi Jiejue didn’t take it to heart.
After breakfast, Qu Mingluo sent Xi Xingyu to school, but he did not ask Qi Jiexue to get up.
After Qi Jiejue got up, he ate the breakfast prepared for him.
He was a little scared because he didn’t expect that all these things would be prepared for him here.
When Qu Mingluo came back from seeing Xi Xingyu off, he was waiting for Qi Jiejue to eat. Seeing that he was about to finish, he went over and changed his clothes.
He and Qu Mingluo took the driver’s car to work together, so naturally they both sat in the back seat.
There was a lot of space in the car, but Qi Jiejue felt that the air was a little thin.
He and Qu Mingluo sat side by side in the back row, less than half an arm’s length apart.
Qu Mingluo changed into a dark gray suit jacket, and underneath was still a light gray cashmere sweater, which was almost the same color as the one Qi Jiejie was wearing.
Just like yesterday, the two of them seemed to accidentally go out wearing couple’s clothes, but they pretended not to notice.
The driver didn’t say much, and just took the two of them to Hengxin.
Qi Jiejie looked out the window. The sea view bay was very quiet in the early morning. There were morning joggers, old people walking their dogs, and young mothers pushing strollers on the roadside.
There seems to be no difference between these and other communities, but he usually doesn’t pay attention to them. After all, he is afraid of being late for work and is afraid that his salary will be damaged because of being late.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Qu Mingluo suddenly asked.
“Very good.” Qi Jiejie said, “The bed is very comfortable and the scenery is beautiful.”
“That’s good.”
After saying that, Qu Mingluo had nothing else to say, and Qi Jiejue turned to look at him.
Qu Mingluo’s side face looked particularly clear in the morning light. His eyelashes were very long, casting a small shadow under his eyes.
Today, the cartoon gauze on his forehead has been replaced, and it is obviously still the one put on by Xi Xingyu.
The car was quiet except for the hum of the engine.
“Arrived.”
The car was parked downstairs at Hengxin. The driver had already gotten out of the car and opened the door on Qi Jiejie’s side.
The cold wind rushed in, blowing away the awkward air in the car.
Qi Jiejue quickly got out of the car, seemingly not wanting to stay in such an awkward atmosphere.
“Come here directly after get off work.” Qu Mingluo said, “Go back with me.”
“Okay, Mr. Qu.” Qi Jiezuo said, “I will definitely be the first one to rush out.”
“Yeah.”
Qi Jiejie quickly walked into the building, but as soon as he sat down at his work station, Sister Bonzai exclaimed: “Xiao Qi! Those clothes!”
Qi Jiejie lowered his head and looked at his cashmere sweater: “It’s not mine.”
“Although this is a mass sale, the quantity is not large. I can’t receive 1.5 times.”
“Mr. Qu borrowed it.” Qi Jie was afraid that he would have to tell a lie with countless lies, so he simply told the truth, “Something happened to my clothes.”
The whole office was quiet.
Brother Lipai picked up a Lipai: “Are you talking about our Mr. Qu on the 28th floor?”
“Yes.”
Qi Jie turned on the computer and pretended that all his attention was on his work, but he could also feel that everyone’s eyes were on him.
Moreover, he smelled the smell on his body, which was the same woody perfume as Qu Mingluo’s. This smell lingered on the tip of his nose vaguely, as if he really had something to do with him.
But…
No.
Qi Jiejie knew very well that he had nothing to do with him. Even if he was his employer for a few days, it would only be a few days.
Qi Jiexue stared at the computer screen and typed on the keyboard for a long time, but the document was still blank.
He remembered Qu Mingluo’s tone when he spoke in the morning, as calm as if he was describing the weather.
This person is always like this, saying cold words, but there are tender actions behind these cold words, making it difficult to tell whether they are sincere or habitual.
When lunch break was approaching, Qi Jie’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Qu Mingluo.
[What are you going to eat later?】
Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, and then replied: [Convenience store downstairs.】
The other party was typing and paused for a long time.
Then: [Don’t eat that.】
Just as Qi Jiecheng was about to ask him, he saw a message from Qu Mingluo: [Come up.】
Qi Jiejie looked at those two words and his heart skipped a beat.
Come up?
Go to the 28th floor to have dinner with him?
Banxia novel, a lot of fun
