Chapter 32 - Don't Move, It's Bad for the Fetus
After Qiao Mo finished hanging up the water at the hospital, she followed Xiao Ru Qing and Xiao Yan back home. All the way, the three of them stayed silent as Qiao Mo leaned on the window window window and looked at the night and the rainbow.
Xiao Ru Qing sat in the back seat with her and naturally saw her movements. She pursed her lips and said indifferently to Xiao Yan who was driving: "Qiao Mo is pregnant now, for the sake of the child, the two of you don't sleep together anymore. Qiao Mo will sleep with me for the time being."
It sounded like it was very reasonable yet he couldn't find a wrong reason to do so. In reality, he was protecting Qiao Mo and the child.
After Xiao Yan heard this suggestion, he reiterated in a neutral tone: "I didn't say that I would give birth to this child."
His pair of cold and detached black eyes looked in the rearview mirror and landed on Qiao Mo's small head.
Xiao Ru Qing reprimanded him: "Did I ask you to marry Qiao Mo back then? It's you, you said that you like Qiao Mo, what, now you don't even allow your child to be born? Which woman do you want to give birth to? "
Qiao Mo was fiercely startled, and all the doubts in her heart seemed to have been dispelled. Every time he finished this task, she would be so concerned about whether she had taken the medicine or not, and so worried about whether she was pregnant with his child.
So, which woman would he like to have children for him?
That Su Painting that looked somewhat similar to her? Or was it the Song Xiazhi who called him "Big Brother Xiao"?
Xiao Yan said with a sickly look on his cold face, "In this life, I will not have any children."
His next decisive sentence shook Xiao Ru Qing and Qiao Mo. His face paled and he was even choked by his words for a while, unable to say anything.
… ….
After Qiao Mo became pregnant, although Xiao Ru Qing's attitude towards her was still neither warm nor cold, but in terms of taking care of her, she was meticulous. Rather than saying that it was to take care of Qiao Mo, it would be more accurate to say that it was to take care of the burning incense in Qiao Mo's stomach that the Xiao Family had burned.
That night, Xiao Yan and Qiao Mo slept separately.
Qiao Mo slept in the same room as Xiao Ru Qing, they were not used to it due to the heavy burden of the matter at hand and the fact that they had to make the bed.
Qiao Mo and Xiao Yan had only been married for less than four months and less than half a year, but Qiao Mo had only discovered tonight that she already somewhat relied on his care.
Seeing her tossing and turning, Xiao Ru Qing rebuked her with a cold voice, "Sleep well with your pregnancy. It's not good for your fetus to move around."
Qiao Mo: "..."
His heart was in a mess.
Inside the house, it was pitch black. It was late at night.
"Qiao Mo, tell me honestly, you want to give birth to this child so badly, is it because you're afraid that I'll ask you to pay me back a million dollars?"
Qiao Mo hid her face in the blanket. If it was only for such a simple reason, she would not be confused or sad right now.
She did not reply, but Xiao Ru Qing sighed lightly, as if she had already gotten the answer she wanted. She just had to ask him back, "You like Xiao Yan, right?"
Qiao Mo never thought that she would be forced to ask this question. She said it so simply and directly.
After a long while, a low voice came out from under the blanket, "... "Right."
"Since you like Xiao Yan, then you must bear this child of his even more."
Qiao Mo had never been able to understand why Xiao Ru Qing would care so much for this child. In fact, as long as the other party was Xiao Yan, there were many women in Hai Cheng who were willing to bear Xiao Yan's children.
Xiao Ru Qing then continued, "I will bear all the expenses for your father's follow-up treatment. Tomorrow, I will send someone to the school to treat you. But don't worry, you will graduate normally like everyone else and obtain your graduation certificate."
Qiao Mo was shocked. She was just pregnant, there was no need to be protected like this.
"Mom, I want to think about the matter of taking a break from school …"
"Qiao Mo."
Xiao Ru Qing's gaze suddenly penetrated through the darkness like a terrifying ray of light, landing on her little face. She said with a fixed gaze, "I have to value this child more than anyone else. I have never begged anyone in my life, except this time. "
Qiao Mo: "..."
Wasn't it just having a child? Why did Xiao Ru Qing say it as if she was leaving him for life?
"But, Xiao Yan doesn't agree with me giving birth to this child … …"
"Now the child is in your belly, the child, and I will protect it. Ah Yan was confused for a moment, don't bother about him. "
Before going to bed, Qiao Mo touched her lower abdomen again and again, with only one thought in her mind.
Two weeks pregnant, she actually, became a mother.
… ….
On the morning of the second day, when Qiao Mo woke up, she went to the kitchen and brought out the Red Jujube chicken soup.
The chicken soup was very fresh and the fragrance was very strong.
Just as Qiao Mo sat down to drink the chicken soup, Xiao Yan also came downstairs.
Thinking about the estrangement from yesterday, Qiao Mo did not say a word, and lowered her head to quietly drink the chicken soup.
The man's handsome face was slightly tired. After he sat down, he ordered Aunt Yan: "Help me fill a bowl of chicken soup."
Aunt Yan did not move, she just stood there with her hands behind her back, not a trace of playfulness on her face, "Young Master, I'm sorry, the Madam had instructed me before that the chicken soup was made for the Young Mistress and Young Master to drink."
The meaning behind his words, was that Xiao Yan did not have any part in it? Not even a bowl?
After Qiao Mo heard this, she almost spat out the chicken soup that she had not swallowed.
The man swept his cold and dangerous gaze over, intimidating Qiao Mo, who quickly pursed his lips and smiled.
Qiao Mo sneaked a peek at him from the corner of her eye while she was holding the bowl and sipping on it.
To be honest, this was the first time Qiao Mo looked so aggrieved.
The entire time, this man had always been aloof and haughty, with the air of an innate king. When he said 'one', no one dared to say another 'two'. But now …
She turned her head with suspicion and the bowl in her hand had already been taken away by the man. That man, after drinking the remaining chicken soup from her, swallowed it all in one go and drank it all.
Qiao Mo stared blankly at the empty bowl in her hands. Her fingertips rested on the edge of the bowl and she felt an inexplicable heat.
The gloom in her heart dispersed. She put down the bowl, placed her small hand on her stomach, and softly said, "I didn't expect that I would still be able to see father's defeated state with a little thing like you."
… ….
Xiao Ru Qing sent someone to buy a large pile of Fetal Cult books, and stacked them next to Qiao Mo.
"From now on, your most important task is to eat and sleep well, and read the pregnancy instruction book."
Qiao Mo was like a person in confinement, the value in her stomach was more expensive than a dragon's seed.
And Xiao Ru Qing, as one of the directors of Haicheng University, only received news of this not long after she went through the procedures for Qiao Mo to leave school this morning.
He made a call to Qiao Mo, and said with a tone of ridicule, "I didn't think that you would be willing to give up your studies just to give birth to this child."
Being mocked, Qiao Mo could not even say a single word.
… ….
In the villa halfway up the mountain, Xiao Yan and Dr. Jin stood on the balcony as they gazed at the scenery below the mountain.
"I've been preparing for next week's operation on Xia Zhi. Recently, Xia Zhi's physical condition is very good and the success rate of the operation will be higher as well."
The Dr. Jin propped up the carved railing with both hands and said casually.
He seemed to be very confident about this operation.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows were deep and cold. His thin lips spoke for a long time: "I can't do it next week."
"Why? Ah Yan, this is your best chance. "
Dr. Jin and Xiao Yan were good friends for many years, never beating around the bush when talking to each other.
Xiao Yan frowned, he pursed his lips, and his face became a line as his expression became heavy and cold, "Qiao Mo is pregnant."
Dr. Jin was startled, and looked at him silently.
"Then what should we do? If you want to wait until Qiao Mo gives birth to her child before you start Xia Zhi's operation, it's very likely that … "
Xiao Yan's slender and clean finger pressed against his temple, interrupting him in a low voice, "Pregnancy requires more than nine months, I can't wait that long."
"It's good that you understand. Ah Yan, I knew that you had caused me to become like this, all because of you. She is the same as Qiao Mo, who is only a little girl.
Xiao Yan frowned deeply as he placed one hand in his pocket and nodded his head, as if he understood.
However, there was another voice in his heart …
As for Qiao Mo, she had married him and became pregnant for him. In the end, he had to strip her of her rights as a mother.
"Think about it carefully. I'll go and see what I can find out."
Xiao Yan nodded, his entire person standing on the balcony, his gaze filling the air.
Dr. Jin turned around and saw a slim little figure hiding behind the door.
"Know? "Why are you here?"
Hearing that, Xiao Yan turned around, and his clear and cold gaze fell on Song Xiazhi who was hiding behind the door.
Song Xiazhi shrunk back a bit but she still mustered up her courage and said to Dr. Jin: "Dr. Jin, I want to talk to Big Brother Xiao alone for a while."
Dr. Jin looked at her and Xiao Yan meaningfully, "Alright."
Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, and looked at the fresh scenery, his tone clear and indifferent, "You heard it?"
"Well, I heard it all. Sister Qiao is pregnant? Is it big brother Xiao's child? "
She walked over to Xiao Yan's side and stood beside him, her voice somewhat lonely.
Xiao Yan answered indifferently, "Mhm."
Song Xiazhi sniffed, her eyes slightly red as she bit her lips and said, "Big brother Xiao, have you ever thought that I would also like to give birth to your child? I like it very much as well …"
"I know, don't mess around."
Song Xiazhi's eyes shook a little as she opened her mouth and looked up at him in a daze.
He didn't hesitate to interrupt her words. Apparently, he didn't give her any chance to do so.
But Song Xiazhi was unwilling to accept this, "The reason why I saved you was because I liked you. If it had been someone else, how could I have risked my life to save someone who has nothing to do with me? For this man, my life is at stake, but I do not regret it. Don't you understand? I don't just like you, big brother Xiao, I love … "
"But I know that for you, I will never have any other feelings than being in debt or feeling guilty."
He was still blushing, cutting her off from what she was about to say.
Tears fell from Song Xiazhi's eyes, big and small, "Then let me die, I don't need any surgery, so what can I do?"
She stared with her red eyes and said willfully.
No matter how willful she was, she would not dare to continue speaking as Xiao Yan's cold light was keeping her away from him.
He asked in a disconsolate and hoarse voice: "Big brother Xiao, the person who can provide me with the kidney origin is Sister Qiao, right?"
"Only hers matches yours."
"But Sister Qiao carried your child, can you bear to have her beat up your child and dig out a kidney for me?"
Xiao Yan's gaze darkened slightly. The darkness within was as deep as ink.
Seeing him fall into silence, Song Xiazhi laughed bitterly, "You simply cannot bear it, why didn't you let me die that day? If you will never fall in love with me, then just let me die! "
Her voice suddenly became shrill.
