I don't know how long the pain lasted, Zu Qi even lost consciousness, as if every second passed very long, and there was no end in sight.
In the vague consciousness, Zu Qi vaguely saw that the bedroom door was pushed open, and then a few panicked figures rushed in from outside.
Before the overwhelming darkness came, Zu Qi felt that he was being gently hugged by someone, Xue Jue's heavy breathing came from his ears, and the always indifferent voice couldn't stop trembling at this moment.
"Zu Qi, hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away..."
What Xue Jue said later, Zu Qi couldn't hear it clearly, and the pain after another kept stimulating his nerves, and he fainted in pain within two seconds.
Zu Qi had nightmares intermittently. For a while, he dreamed of the scene when his parents died in his previous life, and for a while, he dreamed of the scene of being tortured by the villain Xue Jue after entering the novel, and his head was so painful that it almost exploded.
"Zu Qi."
With one hand, he gently stroked Zu Qi's face, and wiped off the sweat overflowing his face with the palm of his hand, and his slightly cold fingertips stopped on Zu Qi's nose.
It feels cool to the touch, like a breeze blowing through it.
The restless Zu Qi suddenly calmed down a lot. He finally broke free from the nightmare and opened his eyes with difficulty. The first thing that caught his eye was Xue Jue's solemn face.
They should be in the car, and the shadowy street lights outside the car window cast shadows from time to time on Xue Jue's side face.
"Be patient." Xue Jue rarely spoke softly. He rubbed Zu Qi's sweaty hair with his thumb, "We'll be at the hospital soon."
Zu Qi's face was pale, and the pain was so painful that it was extremely difficult to breathe. He tightly clasped Xue Jue's wrist with both hands and forcefully pulled the man down in front of him.
Xue Jue immediately understood what Zu Qi meant, leaned over and put his ear to Zu Qi's lips, and soon heard Zu Qi weakly say: "Bastard, you don't answer my call..."
"..." Xue Jue's expression distorted for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said softly, "I'm sorry, my dad and I were on business and accidentally turned the phone on silent."
Zu Qi had been in the novel for more than two months, and it was the first time he heard Xue Jue's apology.
"Xue Jue..." Zu Qi gasped in pain, and squeezed Xue Jue's hand tightly as if venting.
"I'm here." Xue Jue frowned slightly, and seemed to be hurt by Zu Qi's pinching, but he let Zu Qi's fingertips pinch into the back of his hand, and the other hand gently shuttled between Zu Qi's hair.
"My stomach hurts, it really hurts!" Zu Qi said sternly, his voice filled with involuntary crying.
"I know." Xue Jue took Zu Qi into her arms and stroked Zu Qi's back again and again, as if coaxing a child, "Can you bear it more? It will be over soon, we will meet again. Hold on."
Zu Qi buried his entire face on Xue Jue's chest. I don't know if it was his illusion. This warm embrace seemed to really relieve his pain.
And Zu Qi could clearly feel that Xue Jue's hand was shaking while holding him.
This small discovery made Zu Qi a lot more happy. He grabbed Xue Jue's clothes, raised his head to look at Xue Jue, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Guess whether it's a boy or a girl in my stomach?"
"Boy." Xue Jue said without thinking.
"..." Zu Qi suddenly widened his eyes, "How do you know?!"
Xue Jue was suddenly amused by Zu Qi's fierce reaction, and added, "Jun Zhuo told me that when we first went for a pregnancy test."
Zu Qi: "..."
He had an inexplicable feeling that a secret that he knew alone was also discovered by others, which was too bad.
Xue Jue saw Zu Qi's pale face biting his lips and stopped talking. His eyes flickered a few times. He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't you want a boy?"
"I don't want, I don't want anything, it hurts me." Zu Qi gasped again and asked, "Then do you like boys or girls?"
"Boy." Xue Jue still answered without hesitation. Seeing Zu Qi staring at him with his round eyes, he paused for a moment before continuing to add, "Whether it's taking over my business or doing other things, boy The identity of a girl is much more convenient than that of a girl."
The Xue family has a large population. Even though Xue Jue has now replaced Xue Yanjing, there are still a group of people around who are eager to share the cake.
If you don't pay attention, you may be bitten by them. Xue Yanjing is a living example.
Besides, Xue Jue didn't think that girls should be involved in the struggle of these old fritters. He knew very well how filthy the minds of those people were, and he didn't want his daughter to step into the big black dye vat.
If he still has a daughter, he thinks that his daughter should be like a little princess, always held in the palm of his hand and loved.
But this may be an extravagant hope, and he may be such a child in his life.
Thinking of the child who was about to be born, Xue Jue's uneasy heart unexpectedly calmed down a little, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
When the group arrived at the hospital, one hour later, Cui Junzhuo had received news from Weng Yuxiang early, and half an hour earlier, he had waited outside the gate with his assistants.
At this time, Zu Qi was already unconscious, and a steady stream of sweat dripped down his cheeks. He held Xue Jue's clothes tightly with both hands and refused to put them away, and shouted Xue Jue's name in a daze.
Xue Jue followed closely beside the ambulance bed, and whenever Zu Qi called out his name, he responded anxiously.
When Zu Qi was pushed into the operating room by the nurses, Xue Jue subconsciously wanted to follow, but Cui Junzhuo stopped him before he entered.
"Cousin, calm down, he's in good health, this is just an ordinary caesarean section, and it will end soon." Cui Junzhuo looked at Xue Jue incredulously and said, although he didn't raise his mouth, his eyes But it was like looking at a stranger.
For Cui Junzhuo, Xue Jue at this moment is indeed very strange.
He has always looked down on Zu Qi's method of drugging Xue Jue at the beginning. If Xue Jue changed her gender, he could send Zu Qi directly to prison.
Thanks to Xue Jue being so good at talking, he actually took Zu Qi home as a food and drink for his ancestors, and now he is even more worried that half of his soul is almost gone.
Cui Junzhuo has always wondered, what is so good about Zu Qi? To be able to pour Xue Jue's ecstasy soup one after another!
However, Xue Jue didn't know Cui Junzhuo's thoughts. He scratched his messy hair, took a deep breath, and said tiredly, "He's inside, I can't calm down."
Cui Junzhuo chuckled: "Do you like Shang Zuqi?"
Hearing this, Xue Jue was stunned for a while, and it took a long time for him to recover. He shook his head slightly, turned around and didn't speak again.
The smile at the corner of Cui Junzhuo's mouth became more and more obvious, but unfortunately he couldn't laugh as deep as his eyes. No matter how he looked at it, there was a cold feeling. He was about to open his mouth when he heard the nurse's voice coming from behind.
"President Cui, it's ready."
"Okay." Cui Junzhuo took a deep look at Xue Jue who had his back turned to him, then turned around and entered the operating room.
The nurse said that the caesarean section only took about an hour, but this time was particularly long for Xue Jue and Weng Yuxiang, who were waiting outside, as if seconds were like years.
After finally getting through an hour, the red light above the operating room has not been extinguished.
Weng Yuxiang was pacing back and forth in the corridor nervously, asking Xue Jue from time to time, "Didn't you say that the operation can be done in an hour? It's been an hour and 20 minutes now, why haven't they come out yet?"
Xue Jue sat motionless on the bench, her face was terrifyingly gloomy, and the low air pressure around her body lowered the temperature in the air a bit.
Butler Zhang, Xiaoya and the others stood at the very edge and didn't even dare to let out the air, for fear that they might accidentally provoke the eruption of Xue Jue's volcano at this time, so Weng Yuxiang dared to bother Xue Jue.
"I don't know." Xue Jue replied in a deep voice.
Seeing that Xue Jue had been choking out these four words for a long time, Weng Yuxiang sighed bitterly, and then continued to walk around in front of the operating room door looking forward.
Until two hours passed, Xue Jue, who had been as steady as Mount Tai, couldn't sit still. The anxiety and apprehension on his face became more and more serious. He couldn't control himself and began to think wildly.
After all, Zu Qi is a man, and his body structure is fundamentally different from that of women. Even a caesarean section has certain risks.
For some reason, Xue Jue suddenly remembered what Cui Junzhuo asked him just now, but in fact he didn't know how to answer.
If he loves Zu Qi very much, then the answer must be no. He has no emotional basis for Zu Qi, and even only disgusted and complained to Zu Qi three months ago.
I have to admit that habit is a very scary thing. He thought that he would always hate Zu Qi like this, but he was surprised to find that he had been accustomed to Zu Qi's existence in a subtle way.
He didn't want Zu Qi to have an accident.
Not at all...
At this moment, he only hoped that Zu Qi could come out of the operating room in a healthy way, even if he didn't save the child.
"The door is open!"
Weng Yuxiang's voice of surprise suddenly sounded in her ears, but when the housekeeper Zhang, Xiaoya and the others, who had been quietly guarding the side, all rushed over.
Since Liu Jing found that the acne on her face began to improve, her whole person changed a lot, as if her previous dark life had been painted with a touch of thick and bright colors.
She began to pay more attention to dressing up and was no longer afraid to look in the mirror. Even her failed marriage with Kang Qinghua didn't make any waves in her heart—because soon a few handsome young men were chasing her.
Liu Jing believes that when the acne on her face disappears completely, her life will be bright again.
With expectations and yearning for the future, Liu Jing goes to the beauty salon almost every day. She not only does the laser acne treatment recommended by the doctors, but also buys a lot of expensive ointments to apply.
And Xiao Gao, a friend who was the introducer, also received a lot of thanks from Liu Jing, at least several sets of thousands of skin care products.
However, just when Liu Jing thought that she was about to usher in a new turning point in her life, the pimples on her face actually stood still, growing on her skin as tenaciously as in previous years.
If it weren't for the large area of her forehead and nose, Liu Jing would even think she had hallucinations, thinking that her acne had never disappeared.
