Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 194 Qin Jingru is moved

Xu Damao started to get busy early in the morning. He cleaned the house carefully, not leaving out any corner. He nodded with satisfaction when the whole house became spotless. He sat at the table, quietly waiting for Qin Huairu and the others to arrive, his heart full of anticipation.

The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the early morning. Xu Damao stood up immediately, walked over impatiently and opened the door.

The sunlight outside the door shone on his face, reflecting his excited expression. His eyes first fell on Qin Jingru, who was next to Qin Huairu. She was a beautiful woman, and he was stunned at once.

Qin Jingru felt Xu Damao's fiery gaze and suddenly felt shy. Her face turned red like the rising morning glow. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu Damao, and gently pulled her cousin Qin Huairu's clothes with her hands, as if seeking shelter.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's infatuated look and couldn't help but joked, "Da Mao, what's wrong? Don't you plan to invite us in to sit down?" There was a hint of teasing in her voice, which brought Xu Damao back to his senses.

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly, and quickly moved aside to make room at the door, inviting Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru to come in. He warmly asked them to sit down, and turned around to pour them some water.

He swiftly picked up the kettle and cups and carefully poured two full cups of water. Then he turned around and took out a bag of exquisite pastries from the cupboard and carefully placed them on the table.

"You guys eat and drink, don't be polite." Xu Damao greeted the two of them warmly with a bright smile on his face, but his eyes kept stealing glances at Qin Jingru from time to time, and his eyes revealed an imperceptible determination to win.

Qin Jingru picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. After the first bite, her eyes lit up immediately, as if she had discovered some treasure.

The pastry had a delicate texture, sweet but not greasy. She had never eaten such a delicious pastry before. She even felt that the pastries her cousin brought back when she returned home on the third day of her marriage were inferior to them.

Qin Huairu also tasted a piece of cake and drank a glass of water before getting up to leave. She understood that they might feel a little awkward with her here.

Although she was still a little reluctant to part with the package of cakes, she still said, "Da Mao, Jing Ru, you guys chat slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly stood up to persuade her to stay. He noticed that although Qin Huairu said goodbye to him, she kept glancing at the cakes on the table.

He understood what she meant, and went straight to the cupboard to get another bag of cakes and handed them to Qin Huairu, saying, "Sister Qin, take these cakes back and let the children in Banggeng have a taste. This is a little gift from me."

Qin Huairu took the pastry with a grateful smile on her face. She glanced at Xu Damao and said gently: "Well, thank you, Sister Qin. Jingru, you have a good chat with Damao. I'll leave first." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to turn back and smile at Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao watched Qin Huairu leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Qin Jingru, with a sincere expression on his face, and asked, "Jingru, I'm Xu Damao, a movie projectionist. I wonder what you think of me."

Qin Jingru raised her head slightly, glanced at Xu Damao coquettishly, then shook her head gently and said, "We just met, how can I feel about you." There was a hint of shyness in her voice, which made people want to look at her a few more times.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru's shy appearance and felt secretly happy. He rolled his eyes, deliberately showing a distressed expression, and said:

"Jingru, you don't know how hard it is for me. I've been married for so many years, but my ex-wife has never gotten pregnant. There are quarrels at home every day. In order to maintain family harmony, I endure being scolded and even become a joke in the whole courtyard."

Qin Jingru listened to Xu Damao's story and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. But she remembered what she knew about Xu Damao's ex-wife and said directly:

"Why did I hear that your ex-wife is pregnant?" There was a hint of doubt in her tone, as if reminding Xu Damao not to lie in front of her.

When Xu Damao heard Qin Jingru mention his ex-wife's pregnancy, his heart tightened. He realized that he might have said too much before, but he didn't want Qin Jingru to misunderstand him.

He frowned slightly and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and began to think carefully about how to respond.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then tried to explain in a calm tone:

"Yes, my ex-wife was indeed pregnant. However, there was already a crack in our relationship at that time."

"As soon as she got pregnant, she used the power of the Lou family to divorce me. Before I could react, she left with the Lou family. That period was really hard for me. Every day was like torture."

As he spoke, Xu Damao showed a sad expression on his face, his eyes slightly red. He lowered his head and sighed softly, as if he was recalling the past that he couldn't bear to look back on.

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao like this, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She originally had some grudges against Xu Damao for being a second marriage, but seeing him so sad, those grudges disappeared without a trace.

She gently pulled Xu Damao's sleeve and asked softly about her concerns: "If your ex-wife comes back to find you with the child in the future, will you regret it? After all, it's your child."

Xu Damao raised his head and looked at Qin Jingru's worried and expectant eyes, and his heart moved. He knew that he had successfully touched Qin Jingru's heart.

So, he held Qin Jingru's hand tightly and promised firmly: "How could that be? If we get married, I will definitely love the child you give birth to. No other child will be worthy of my attention."

Qin Jingru was deeply moved by Xu Damao's affectionate words. At this moment, in her heart and eyes, there was no room for anything else except Xu Damao. In her opinion, Xu Damao was a responsible man and a partner worthy of her reliance and trust.

Xu Damao also keenly sensed Qin Jingru's changes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that his chance had come. So he held Qin Jingru's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. The warmth from her palm made him feel extremely relieved.

After a long while, Qin Jingru pulled her hand out of Xu Damao's grasp somewhat embarrassedly, a blush appeared on her face, and she gently scolded: "What are you doing? So reckless."

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru's coy appearance and loved her even more. He smiled and said without hesitation, "I am only with you." After that, he looked at Qin Jingru carefully again and saw that some parts of her clothes had been worn white, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

So, he said to Qin Jingru gently: "Jingru, you haven't been to Sijiu City yet, right? I'll take you out for a walk. Don't you like eating this cake very much? I'll buy you two more packs, and you can take them back to your parents to try."

Qin Jingru wanted to refuse Xu Damao's kindness, but when she heard him say that this was for his family, she felt embarrassed to refuse. She nodded gently, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Then let's go. I won't agree if you don't take me around well."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be satisfied." Xu Damao replied cheerfully. Then he took Qin Jingru out of the courtyard.
