Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback

As a result, he almost literally breathed fire.

Alright, he finally had a new understanding; the taste preferences of the girl in his family were extremely strong.

When he saw Jian Zhiqing had tried it, Qin Xiangnuan quickly hugged her bowl and placed the large bowl in front of her, taking the chopsticks from Jian Zhiqing's hands, and began eating. It seemed like she couldn't taste the spiciness at all. In no time, she had finished a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

"Boss," she wiped her mouth with a paper and then shouted towards the counter. "Two more bowls of hot and sour noodles, add more chili and vinegar."

Jian Zhiqing couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Nuannuan, it's too spicy and too sour, Brother Jian really can't enjoy this.

"Ah!" Qin Xiangnuan blinked, "Sorry, Brother Jian," she counted on her fingers, "I forgot to ask for your portion."

Jian Zhiqing "..."

Jian Zhiqing had no choice but to order another portion for himself, he later felt that it's better to eat separately from Qin Xiangnuan; the girl now had a really strong taste preference, and he could hardly keep up with her pace. Every time he saw the bowl with red chili peppers in front of Qin Xiangnuan, to be honest, he felt his scalp tingle.

But Qin Xiangnuan didn't care about anything else; she was just hungry now. Two bowls of hot and sour noodles were placed in front of her, both numbing and spicy. Although she had just eaten one bowl, she was still hungry. Under Jian Zhiqing's stunned gaze, she happily finished the other two bowls of hot and sour noodles.

Then she touched her stomach.

She felt so full and happy.

"Want more?" Jian Zhiqing pushed his unfinished portion towards Qin Xiangnuan. Although the girl ate quite a lot, it couldn't be helped - she needed to eat for three now, it was understandable.

"Aren't you eating?" Qin Xiangnuan blinked, "How can you eat so little, were you born in the year of the Rooster?"

"I'm not eating anymore," Jian Zhiqing touched the top of her head, "If you still want to eat, go ahead."

"Then I won't be polite."

Qin Xiangnuan took the chopsticks and truly without reserve, finished off Jian Zhiqing's half bowl. Counting this half bowl, she had eaten a total of three large bowls plus one small bowl now. It was a wonder how her small stomach could hold all that food. Clearly, Jian Zhiqing had underestimated Qin Xiangnuan's stomach capacity. As they left, she was still holding a bag of snacks and never stopped eating. She ate an amount equivalent to twice Jian Zhiqing's food intake daily – surprisingly, only her stomach grew outward, while the rest of her body didn't change and became even more beautiful. Despite common issues like pigmentation that pregnant women face, she didn't have any and she looked radiant and fair-skinned, with sparkling eyes and dressed up elegantly, sporting a belly. Even amidst a crowd, her tranquil and elegant demeanor and well-fitted clothes were always a beautiful sight. While others might look worse during pregnancy, she remained beautiful.

"I want to go buy clothes," Qin Xiangnuan suddenly stopped, staring at her huge belly, wondering what to wear as it was so swollen.

"Okay," Jian Zhiqing also went along with her. Although they had many clothes at home, if she wanted to shop, he would accompany her.

They entered the shopping mall, which was now filled with quite a few brands. Although the styles and colors of clothes had surpassed the current trends, they still seemed rather dull compared to the Cafe brand and the trend in Qin Xiangnuan's mind.

The bell-bottom jeans weren't attractive either – not sleek or elegant, even if they were slightly more ornate. After looking around, she still felt that the clothes she designed were better and wearable.

"What's wrong, didn't find anything you liked?" Jian Zhiqing noticed the disappointment in Qin Xiangnuan's eyes and knew she hadn't found anything appealing. It saddened him; Qin Xiangnuan was a very successful fashion designer, whose appreciation for clothing far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even he could tell that the clothes here were not as good as those in Qin Xiangnuan's store; it's no wonder she wasn't interested.

"So far, I haven't picked anything," Qin Xiangnuan hugged Jian Zhiqing's arm, "Let's forget about buying clothes, just treat this as a stroll."

Jian Zhiqing continued to lead her around, walking here and there. Just as they were turning a corner, someone suddenly rushed out from the opposite direction, nearly bumping into Qin Xiangnuan's belly. Instinctively, Jian Zhiqing pulled Qin Xiangnuan into his arms and hastily retreated several steps back.

With a loud thud, without anyone to stop them, the person fell flat on the ground, face down.

"Ow..." The person cried out in pain, and from the moment they hit the ground, it felt as if even the floor shook a bit – how heavy could they possibly be?

Qin Xiangnuan was genuinely scared; her face was still pale at this point. Jian Zhiqing reached out and continuously comforted her back, but it wasn't just her, Jian Zhiqing also looked upset. Damn it, if that much weight had really hit her, with Qin Xiangnuan's frail body, she would have been completely crushed, not to mention the baby in her belly; this wouldn't just be a single life lost.

In an instant, Jian Zhiqing's usually handsome face was now clouded with anxiety.

He scoffed.

"Lady, would you mind watching where you're walking next time?"

If it were not a woman, Jian Zhiqing would've straightaway gone forward to fight. The place was already crowded with many people, including the elderly and children. To walk so recklessly fast, was it really her intention to bump into someone?

At this moment, the woman who had been lying on the ground suddenly stood up, pointing at Jian Zhiqing's nose and started yelling.

"What's wrong with me? I was walking just fine, what's it to you? Does this mall bear your family name, or is it owned by your family? I can walk however I want. I'm not even saying that you knocked me down. I'm feeling unwell all over now, you have to take me to the hospital."

The look on Qin Xiangnuan's face turned grim instantly, and so did Jian Zhiqing's.

They had wondered who it could be, and it turned out to be none other than Qin Xiangmei's mother, Hu Li.

If it were anyone else, or any other person, Jian Zhiqing would have thought this to be an accident, but not with Hu Li.

This woman did it on purpose. How come she didn't bump anywhere else but aimed directly for Qin Xiangnuan's belly? With that bump, did she intend to cause Qin Xiangnuan to miscarry?

Hu Li continued to spit vitriol while pointing at Jian Zhiqing's nose, but upon seeing Jian Zhiqing's expressionless face and the icy cold eyes, for some reason, she suddenly shrank back a bit, as if there was also a hint of evasion in her eyes.
