Du Ruoxin looked at him, "Why do you ask?"
Qin Yunxi explained, "Every time I get close to her, I find she breaks out in a rash. Another time, she almost couldn't breathe."
Du Ruoxin: "..."
How did Brother Qin become so clueless about Grace?
Qin Yunxi immediately raised both hands in a promise, "No, I absolutely did not bully her!"
"A wife is meant to be cherished, how could I possibly bully Grace?"
Du Ruoxin: ... I'd have to be a fool to believe you.
Sensing Du Ruoxin's doubtful gaze, Qin Yunxi shrugged helplessly, "If wanting to kiss her counts as bullying, then yes."
Du Ruoxin: "Pfft—"
Forgive her, she couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Hahahaha—"
Her stomach hurt from laughing!
Brother Qin having such a day? Rejected by a woman? That must feel awful, right?
Hahaha!
Laughing until her stomach ached.
Du Ruoxin clutched her heaving stomach, experiencing both pain and pleasure, afraid she might laugh her baby out.
No, she had to hold back!
She decided to pinch herself to stay composed.
Christiano, seeing the woman laughing so boisterously, feared she might have an accident and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap. "Alright, stop laughing. Maintain some decorum."
Du Ruoxin's fingernail, as she pinched herself, dug into Brother Qin's hand.
Christiano: "————"
Du Ruoxin: Ah! Why was she sitting on Brother Qin's lap?
By reflex, she sprang away.
And stopped laughing.
But their "odd" behavior caused Qin Yunxi's eyes to narrow slyly—what was going on? Didn't Du Ruoxin marry Christiano? Wasn't she in love with Christiano? Why then…
Qin Yunxi sensed a hint of resistance from Du Ruoxin towards Christiano?
There's something fishy going on!
Du Ruoxin, however, didn't notice Qin Yunxi looking at her. She just chuckled to cover her awkwardness, "Brother, I'd like some wine. Could you get me some?"
Christiano's blue eyes narrowed, "You can drink?"
Could she drink while pregnant?
Could the baby in her belly handle it?
Didn't the doctor say to quit smoking, drinking, and spicy food?
Du Ruoxin flashed a smile, "A little bit is fine. I'll only have half a glass, no more."
Christiano: "..."
Du Ruoxin pouted coquettishly, "Please, go get it for me. They don't know what flavor I like, only you do."
"Brother~~~"
Qin Yunxi, listening from the side, couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Such a top-tier display of coquettishness, such a sweet, life-threatening address.
If it were him…
He'd be willing to die!
Christiano, naturally, couldn't resist. He said, "Wait," then gave Qin Yunxi a meaningful glance before leaving with his bodyguards.
Qin Yunxi, inexplicably subjected to a death stare, could only rub his forehead and grumble inwardly:
【Alas!】
【Old Yang is truly—】
【How did he lose such a stunning beauty?】
If it were him, with such a prize wife, he would never agree to a divorce, not even in death.
He would protect her so tightly that no one could even glimpse her.
Anyone who dared to covet her would be killed without mercy!
Even at this moment, Qin Yunxi still lamented that Rong Jingyang hadn't managed to win Du Ruoxin back.
Du Ruoxin sat back in her chair, regaining her composure, "Cough, cough, cough."
"Brother Qin, as far as I know, Grace doesn't have heart disease."
How could someone who enjoyed extreme sports have heart disease?
"As for other hereditary diseases…" Du Ruoxin looked at him and offered a suggestion, "You could check with the research institute."
Qin Yunxi was immediately enlightened, "Right! How did I not think of that?!"
The research institute conducts annual physicals. Once Grace returns to work, he'll contact the person in charge and arrange a full body check-up for her.
Not only would it check all of Grace's organs and functions, but they could also get their pre-marital check-up done at the same time.
What a brilliant suggestion!
"Thank you!" Qin Yunxi cupped his fists towards Du Ruoxin.
Du Ruoxin smiled sweetly, "You're welcome. As long as you promise to treat Grace well, I'm willing to help you."
"But if you don't…"
She said with a veiled threat, "I can also cause trouble."
Qin Yunxi, however, wasn't afraid or guilty, "Good or not is hard to define. Just like I felt Old Yang treated you very well, almost doting on your every whim, yet you still divorced him."
Du Ruoxin: "————"
Mentioning Rong Jingyang was a conversation killer!
She instantly stopped smiling.
Qin Yunxi didn't want the atmosphere to turn heavy. He chuckled, "It's all in the past, all in the past. No need to mention it."
Du Ruoxin's face then regained a hint of a forced smile.
Qin Yunxi, "Hey, does Christiano control you very strictly? He doesn't even let you drink alcohol? I remember you could hold your liquor when it came to red wine."
