Chapter 436
An Nuan directly dragged Xia Qiqi up from the bed, "Did you sleep for an entire afternoon?"
Xia Qiqi's whole body was soft and weak.
Being dragged up by An Nuan, she just leaned against the headboard, refusing to get up.
She lazily said, "Aren't I supposed to be resting after giving birth? Isn't resting well the best way to recover after giving birth?"
Clearly still feeling somewhat smug.
An Nuan was truly speechless.
She helped Xia Qiqi get up from the bed, "Go wash up, it'll be time for dinner soon."
It took a great deal of effort for Xia Qiqi to actually follow An Nuan to the bathroom.
An Nuan wrung out a hot towel for her, "Hurry up and wake yourself up from your drowsiness."
As Xia Qiqi wiped her cheeks, she was also trying hard to make herself more alert.
An Nuan just stood by her side waiting for Xia Qiqi, and casually asked, "Were you up late again last night?"
Xia Qiqi didn't say anything.
Silence generally meant that she was right.
"I told you to rest properly, yet you choose to play around at night and sleep during the day?! Qiqi, can you take better care of your health? Do you still want to live well for the second half of your life or not." An Nuan couldn't help but admonish her.
"I feel my health is pretty good right now. As strong as an ox, you don't know, after the miscarriage, even my stomach felt comfortable, I feel like the whole world is brighter, it's not as exaggerated as you make it sound." Xia Qiqi retorted.
"You're still young so of course your health is good now. Once you get older, many underlying issues will surface, those will be the root of disaster."
Xia Qiqi had an utterly nonchalant expression.
"Did any of that get through to you?" An Nuan was truly frustrated by her obstinacy.
Xia Qiqi would always be like an immature child.
"Yeah." Xia Qiqi casually agreed.
"Done washing up?" An Nuan asked.
"Yup."
"Let's go downstairs for dinner, I came over just as your maid said it'll be ready to eat very soon. We shouldn't keep them waiting too long." An Nuan urged her along.
Xia Qiqi followed behind An Nuan as they headed downstairs.
From young till now, An Nuan was only half a year older than her, yet she didn't know why, she just habitually listened to An Nuan's arrangements.
With only Xia Zhenghai and Xia Qiqi in the house, it was indeed somewhat desolate.
Adding on top of that Xia Qiqi's clear dislike towards interacting with Xia Zhenghai, Xia Zhenghai was probably even more lonely.
After dinner, Xia Qiqi brought An Nuan to Xia family's backyard garden villa, sitting together in a pavilion.
The maid brewed tea for them.
Xia Qiqi lay comfortably reclined back on a deck chair, swaying back and forth, looking completely carefree.
It was as if the car accident leading to her miscarriage from a few days ago had no effect on her whatsoever.
"What did you come to find me for today?" Xia Qiqi looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky and asked.
"To talk about you and Xiao Nanchen."
"I figured you were here to talk about that." Xia Qiqi had a very knowing look, "Go ahead and say what you need to, I'll listen."
An Nuan frowned slightly.
Hadn't Xia Qiqi always been very averse towards Xiao Nanchen? Why the sudden change in attitude now?!
She didn't want to speculate too much. Between true friends, there couldn't be any bad intentions.
"I think you should be together with Xiao Nanchen." An Nuan first stated her viewpoint before continuing on to say, "The child is gone, the both of you can have more in the future. This should not be a reason for the two of you to divorce. You and Xiao Nanchen had great difficulty getting together in the first place. Of course, I know you'll say it's because he forced you, whether it was forced or not, in the end you still ended up together. You chose to marry him, you chose to bear his child. Qiqi, don't you think you actually like Xiao Nanchen?"
Xia Qiqi's expression was extremely cold.
An Nuan truly didn't feel Xia Qiqi was usually a calm sort of person, yet at that moment she was exceptionally composed.
She turned to look straight at An Nuan and very solemnly asked, "Have you spoken to Xiao Nanchen about this?"
"Huh?"
"I asked, have you spoken to Xiao Nanchen and asked if our marriage could continue or not?"
"Is there any need to ask?! Xiao Nanchen loves you so deeply. As long as you're willing to start over with him again, I'm completely sure he would accept it."
"An Nuan, you still don't really understand Xiao Nanchen. Yes, I admit, Xiao Nanchen is a wonderful person who treats everyone well, giving others the feeling of a gentle spring breeze. But this sort of person will find it very easy to hold grudges if you accidentally offend him. I carelessly caused his child to miscarry, he'll remember this forever. Do you know why I moved out of Xiao Nanchen's home? It's because Xiao Nanchen wanted us to have a trial separation, not because I initiated it."
An Nuan pressed her lips together.
She also hadn't expected Xiao Nanchen to be so deeply affected.
In her perspective, compared to the baby in the belly, what Xiao Nanchen cared for more was Xia Qiqi herself.
"You kept persuading me to start over with Xiao Nanchen again. So I want to ask you, what if you were me? What if you had a miscarriage... "
"Could we use a more positive example." An Nuan directly interrupted Xia Qiqi's words.
Xia Qiqi rolled her eyes at An Nuan and said, "I'm just giving an analogy. If you had a miscarriage, and after the miscarriage Ye Jinghuai completely ignored you, even wanting to separate. How would you feel? Would you still think that Ye Jinghuai loved you?!"
