My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 292 Playing with Flowers

With a pregnant wife at home, Xia Li had no time to go out and run around.

He wished he could stay in front of Lucia every day, watching her belly grow bigger day by day, and he felt more and more at ease.

The procedures for the pet hospital are already being processed. As for the decoration and procurement, Xia Li is only responsible for the final decision, while the communication and errands are left to Qin Chuan.

In addition to Qin Chuan, there is also Wuqi, the stray cat who has been the "director" of the pet hospital for several years.

Wuqi is experienced. With him around, he and Qin Chuan can use their brains and work harder, and they can get twice the result with half the effort.

Recently, this man and this cat have been very troubled by Xia Li's strange behavior.

It was such a big deal, but Xia Li just ignored it.

Even if you want to be a hands-off boss in the future, you shouldn't give up before you even start!
This guy is really open with his good brother. In an ordinary family, even brothers would not hand over their property like this.

However, when Wuqi and Qinchuan heard that Sister Long was pregnant, they suddenly understood.

Both of them were shocked.

Why is it so sudden!
No wonder Xia Li sticks to Lucia like a sticky candy all day long, and no matter what method or how you call him, he won't go out.

It feels like I'm going to be a father.

Wuqi and Qinchuan were both very worried. They couldn't imagine what would happen if Sister Long gave birth in the hospital and the baby was born with a tail and dragon horns.

I’m afraid it will be a hot topic the next day.

In this regard, Saint Ivni explained to the two of them for a long time.

She said that there was no magic on earth, and that as long as Lucia, as a mother, gave birth in human form, the child would be born in human form, without a tail or horns.

Wuqi and Qinchuan, as time travelers who have experienced the side effects of zero magic on Earth, find this not difficult to understand.

……

In a few days.

Xia Li could no longer contain his excitement and took Lucia back to his parents' home for dinner.

Since Lucia hasn’t got her ID card yet and can’t have a prenatal checkup, he can’t tell his parents about the pregnancy. But he wants to share his happy event.

So, Xia Li was absent-minded the whole day when he returned to his parents' home, and he had a lot to say.

When Fang Xia saw her son's look, she knew he was about to fart.

"Mom, let's make dumplings tonight."

Xia Li made a cup of black tea for Lucia and quietly walked up to Fang Xia and said.

Fang Xia glanced at him and happened to see the boy taking out a jewelry box from his trouser pocket.

Xia Li leaned sideways and quietly showed the jewelry box to Fang Xia.

Fang Xia then remembered.

This guy told her a few days ago that he wanted to propose to her.

So that’s what happened!

It's normal for young people to be romantic.

Fang Xia strongly supports her son.

She made an OK gesture to Xia Li.

Xia Li's tall figure blocked Lucia's view. Lucia held the steaming cup of black tea and leaned over curiously.

Fang Xia's acting skills suddenly soared and she laughed happily.

"Then we'll have dumplings tonight. What kind of filling do you like, Xiaolu? Auntie will buy them for you."

"I can eat anything with any filling!" Lucia replied.

"Mom, Xiaolu is not picky about food. Just cook whatever you think tastes good." Xia Li said.

"Okay, okay," Fang Xia nodded kindly.

"I'm going downstairs to buy some meat and vegetables. You guys sit down for a while."

After saying that, Fang Xia carried the vegetable basket and went out.

My son is proposing to me today. It’s such a big deal and Old Xia is still at work, so I have to call him and ask him to come back early.

"Auntie, I'll accompany you!"

When Lucia heard that they were going to buy groceries, her little cook blood immediately awakened.

She put on her slippers and was about to leave, but Xia Li grabbed her.

"Why are you going? You are not allowed to go. Stay at home with me."

"But……"

"If you leave, I'll be alone and I'll be scared." Xia Li said calmly.

Hearing this, Lucia sat back on the sofa.

Since the coward Xia Li was afraid of being alone at home, she had no choice but to accompany Xia Li...

"It's okay, you guys play, I'll be back in a bit."

The couple has such a good relationship that Fang Xia, as an elder, couldn't stop smiling when she saw it.

After the door was closed, Xia Li sat obediently, touching Lucia's little hand.

Lucia watched TV for a while and then looked back at him.

Ever since Xia Li knew she was pregnant, he stopped touching her.

Normally, he doesn’t even kiss her mouth, and even when he touches her hands, he has to wash his hands before touching her, and his desire to protect her is particularly strong.

In fact, Lucia felt a little lonely because she hadn't been intimate with Xia Li for a long time.

Moving her butt, Lucia stood up and sat on Xia Li's thighs.

Xia Li was afraid of moving the dragon egg in her stomach, so she was very careful even when hugging Lucia.

"The baby said he wants daddy to hold him!" Lucia lay in his arms and acted coquettishly.

"Hold me again, hold me again." Xia Li was a little nervous.

"The baby said he wants another kiss from daddy!"

"Kiss, kiss, MUAMUAMUA."

Xia Li kissed the delicate dragon.

Lucia straightened her waist in his arms and pressed her belly against him.

"Dear baby!" she said.

Xia Li was quite nervous. She leaned her head over, pouting her lips and kissed the dragon's belly through a layer of cloth.

“Click, click.”

Just when the two were being affectionate, the fingerprint lock opened.

Fang Xia was carrying a basket of vegetables when she returned home and saw the couple kissing on the sofa.

It's fun to play.

She couldn't help but smile, pretending not to see it and carried the vegetables to the kitchen.

Lucia blushed at this time.

"Xia Li, why are you hugging me like this..."

She said, directing her voice in the direction of the kitchen.

Xia Li: “???”

It was obviously you, the dragon, who climbed up.

The evil dragon complained first.

After picking up a pile of snacks and placing them in front of Lucia, Xia Li got up to help Fang Xia chop the stuffing.

In fact, people in the South seldom make dumplings at home. If they want to eat dumplings, they usually go to a dumpling shop to buy frozen dumplings and cook them themselves, or they go to the vegetable market to buy dumpling wrappers and wrap something in them.

A process like this, from making flour to skin and chopping stuffing, is a huge job in the south, and not many families are willing to do it.

Xia Li often ate dumplings made by Fang Xia since he was a child, and later on he also developed certain hands-on skills.

He was responsible for chopping the meat filling, while Fang Xia was kneading the dough on the side.

"Where's Old Xia?"

Xia Li glanced at Long who was watching TV in the living room, and whispered to her mother.

"On the way."

"Oh……"

Xia Li nodded, took out an exquisite jewelry box from his trouser pocket, and then took out the diamond ring inside.

The ring is very small, obviously tailored to the size of Lucia's finger, but the dazzling diamond on it is not small, estimated to be several carats.

"Stuff this into the dumplings later." Xia Li said.

Fang Xia's eyes lit up and she was a little surprised.

"Really?"

"Of course it's real. We'll hide the ring inside and mark it, then put it in Lucia's bowl..."

"I mean, the ring is real?" Fang Xia asked in surprise.

"It's true," Xia Li paused and said, "Mom, I'll buy it for you in the future."

"Screw you."

Fang Xia smiled and sprinkled a handful of flour in her hand on Xia Li's face.

She didn't think about it, she was just happy for her son.

By the time Xia Li had mixed the stuffing, Fang Xia's dumpling wrappers had also dried out.

Lucia couldn't sit still, so she came over to see the battle situation here.

Xia Li hid the marked dumpling in the innermost part and turned back to ask the patrolling evil dragon.

"How many do you eat?"

"..."

Lucia hesitated for a moment, not daring to answer the number.

It was her first time eating dumplings made at home, and she wondered how many a normal person would eat.

"How many can I eat..." Lucia asked back.

"Northerners usually eat twenty, southerners eat seven or eight... Your case is a bit special, you combine the north and the south, so you can eat thirty." Xia Li spoke without hesitation.

"Seven, eight, thirty, eat until you're full!"

On the other side, Fang Xia waved the colander and said, "Xiao Lu, let's cook 100 of them. 100 is a lucky number. Eat as many as you want."

"OK……"

Lucia smiled sheepishly.

A full one hundred dumplings.

Should I eat it before or after meals?

Wait until evening.

Old Xia came back with a briefcase.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled the steaming smell of dumplings.

He was muttering to himself, "Why am I making dumplings in such hot weather?" and had already arrived in the kitchen.

"What's the plan?"

Xia Yuanjun arrived home early today on imperial orders.

When he heard that his son was going to propose, he was restless and worried about it the whole afternoon.

After returning home, I found that my family was acting out of character. They usually didn't bother to make dumplings once a year, but this time they actually made them in the hot weather.

"What plan?"

Fang Xia rolled her eyes at him, full of disgust.

"Bring me a basin."

"Oh……"

After being scolded by Fang Xia, Old Xia didn't say anything and obediently took a stainless steel basin to put the dumplings.

Dumplings in Sichuan Province are dipped in chili oil. Fang Xia made several different dipping sauces this time. In addition to chili oil, there are also sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and other different flavors to ensure that Lucia's taste can be taken care of. Old Xia took out the big bowl of dumplings, and Fang Xia and Xia Li worked in the kitchen secretly.

In order to give Lucia a surprise, they filled four bowls of dumplings each, and in one of the bowls was hidden the engagement ring that Xia Li had carefully prepared.

The two of them blanched some vegetables and served them on the table, along with a dipping dish, making the meal perfect.

"Xiao Lu, it's time to eat!"

Lucia was standing in front of Lao Xia's fish tank looking at the goldfish out of boredom. When she heard the word "dinner time", her ears perked up.

"Come on, Auntie!"

If you are not active in eating, there will be problems with your performance as a dragon.

After waiting for more than two hours, dinner was finally served.

Lucia quickly ran to the dining table, and looking at the huge bowl in front of her, she lowered her head embarrassedly.

The amount in this bowl alone is as much as the amount in my uncle, aunt, and Xia Li combined.

"You're welcome. Eat."

Fang Xia smiled and placed three small plates in front of Lucia, each containing a different flavor of dipping sauce.

After saying this, she thought of something else and added.

"Eat slowly. When eating dumplings, chew them carefully and don't swallow them whole."

"Yes, yes, auntie."

"Put it in." Xia Li on the side said in a mean way.

"What are you talking about? Speak properly."

Fang Xia picked up the chopsticks and tapped Xia Li on the forehead.

Xia Li didn't say anything, and the mother and son exchanged glances.

Ready for action.

The flowers are ready, just behind the chair.

As soon as Lucia ate the diamond ring, Xia Li proposed to her immediately.

A man only kneels to heaven, to the earth, and to his parents in his life, but there is one extra time.

That is to kneel down on one knee and make a lifelong vow to the woman you love.

Xia Li was so nervous that his throat was smoking and his hands holding the chopsticks were sweaty.

"Is it too hot? How about turning down the air conditioner by two degrees?"

Xia Yuanjun, who only knew half of the situation, saw the sweat on Xia Li's face and felt a little hot himself.

"No need, Dad." Xia Li replied calmly.

Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she can't use the air conditioner too cold.

"Stop talking, and eat your fill. Drink some dumpling soup, and the original soup will dissolve the original food."

Fang Xia was afraid that the unreliable Old Xia would let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly served him a bowl of soup to shut his mouth.

Old Xia drank the soup and said nothing more.

"Would you like another...bowl?"

While the three were talking, Lucia, who was sitting next to Xia Li, had finished her bowl.

Xia Li came to her senses and saw the empty porcelain bowl, and was about to fill it with some more dumplings.

Halfway through his words, Xia Li froze.

and many more.

He has such a big five-carat diamond ring!
Xia Li was still looking forward to Lucia's reaction after she bit the diamond ring.

As a result, the diamond ring was gone!

Xia Li's eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened.

Eat...eat it? ! !
"Okay, ten more."

Lucia said shyly.

"If you eat too much, Aunt Fang will become suspicious." She turned her head and added in a low voice.

At this moment, Xia Li was in no mood to care about such things.

He filled Lucia's bowl again and winked at Fang Xia.

Fang Xia naturally noticed Lucia's empty bowl, and was also curious why she didn't get the diamond ring.

No, this ring was wrapped by her own hands. She cooked a pot of 100 dumplings and when she served them, she deliberately put the marked dumpling into Lucia's bowl.

The four of them continued to eat dumplings.

Seeing that all the bowls were empty and only the dumplings in the stainless steel pot in the middle were left, Fang Xia could no longer sit still.

"What are you turning over?"

Xia Yuanjun was curious when he saw his wife stand up and rummage around in the basin with a spoon.

Fang Xia ignored him and gave him another bowl.

"I can't eat anymore..."

Xia Yuanjun said with a frown.

Fang Xia said nothing and turned back to the kitchen.

"I'll go see if there's any more in the pot."

Both mother and son had heavy concerns.

No, could it be that the dumplings cracked while cooking, so the diamond ring fell out?
Xia Li placed all his hopes on his mother. When his mother went to the kitchen to look around the pot and came out with a worried look on her face, Xia Li was completely upset.

broken.

He was really swallowed by the dragon.

Such a big ring, you can’t help but feel it in your mouth!

Xia Li felt mixed emotions.

I really regretted proposing to you in such a surprise way.

But with his brain, which lacked any romantic genes, these were the only ways he could think of to propose.

I don't need to go to the hospital now...

Xia Li ate a few bites and stopped. With a bitter face, he went to the sofa and took out his mobile phone to search Baidu.

No matter how strong a dragon's stomach is, she cannot digest the diamond ring. She can only pull it out directly when she goes to the toilet... But Xia Li is worried that the diamond ring is too hard and will hurt Lucia's stomach.

Inducing vomiting would be too harmful to the mother's body.

ah ah ah...

Xia Li rubbed his hair in distress.

"what's wrong?"

Lucia was finally full and came over to sit next to him, wiping her mouth.

Xia Li looked at Lucia apologetically, but didn't know how to start.

"What are you so anxious about?"

"I'm fine..."

The two looked at each other. In the kitchen, Fang Xia was washing the pot with Lao Xia. They could vaguely hear the old couple talking as they were looking for something.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Lucia pinched Xia Li's face.

Xia Li sighed.

"Kiss."

Lucia pouted her lips, as if trying to make Xia Li happy in this way.

Xia Li glanced towards the kitchen, and after making sure that no one was looking in that direction, he lowered his body and kissed Long on the mouth.

"Ok?"

"Ok??"

As soon as they kissed, Xia Li felt his lips touching a hard, ring-shaped object.

When he opened his eyes, he saw...

Lucia was holding the platinum diamond ring in her mouth!

The diamond ring still had the scent of fresh meat dumplings, and the surface was wet and hot, probably because it had been in the dragon's mouth for a long time.

"you you you……"

Xia Li was so angry that he shivered.

He had been feeling guilty for a long time and was almost about to start confessing.

So the dragon had already eaten the ring and was holding it in its mouth?!

"Hee hee~"

Lucia smiled smugly.

"Remember to close the door next time you discuss something, otherwise my keen hearing will hear everything~" she said with a smile.

"You you..." Xia Li was still talking incoherently.

This dragon is so bad.

It was clearly his intention to give Lucia a surprise, but in the end it seemed like the other way around.

Xia Li didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment, and her cheeks turned red.

Then he realized there was a bouquet of flowers in the restaurant and was about to turn around to get the flowers to propose.

Lucia grabbed his hand and stopped him from leaving.

"I have seen the flowers."

After all, the smell was so strong, and her dragon nose was very powerful. She had smelled the scent of flowers when she was in the car.

"Put it on me."

Lucia handed the diamond ring back to Xia Li's hand, with a sweet and happy expression on her face.

Xia Li: "I haven't asked yet..."

"I am willing."

"..."

"I already said I do!"

Xia Li was stupid and dazed, now it was Lucia's turn to blush.

Didn't they already agree on this matter before?

Xia Li is responsible for marrying Lucia, and Lucia is responsible for marrying Xia Li.

She had already said "I do"...

Looking into Xia Li's eyes again, Lucia's eyes were wet.

Oops, I drank too much water today.

My eyes need to pee.

Xia Li took a breath. He had drunk too much water and his eyes were a little wet.

Holding the diamond ring that symbolizes eternal love in his hand, Xia Li took Lucia's slender hand and put the ring on the ring finger of her right hand.

Lucia's eyes suddenly lit up.

She raised her hands under the fluorescent light, her heart beating fast.

"It is said that there is a blood vessel on the ring finger that goes directly to the heart... After wearing it, it really feels like my heart is being trapped!"

"Lucia..."

"Ok?"

"marry me."

Lucia was still savoring this wonderful feeling when Xia Li suddenly called her name. As soon as she raised her head, she was kissed by a pair of hot lips.
