After deciding to face the situation together with her son, the first thing Chu Qing had to deal with was the 40-something Qi Weichen. Before she knew she was pregnant, she had acted like a fool, but now that she was pregnant, she had to temporarily stop having sex for the first three months to be safe. But how to prevent Qi Weichen from getting suspicious was something she needed to think about.
It is naturally not easy to discuss such matters between husband and wife with Qi Muyang. After thinking about it, Chu Qing decided to fake it.
"Lumbar muscle strain, what's going on?" Qi Weichen looked at the physical examination report in his hand, frowning slightly.
Chu Qing said calmly: "I've had back pain these past few days, so I went to get it checked."
"Take me to the hospital, I want to talk to the doctor." Qi Weichen said as he was about to get up.
Chu Qing forged the report herself, so she didn't dare take him to see any doctor. Upon hearing this, she quickly stopped him and said, "The doctor said it's not serious, he's just too tired recently. He'll be fine after resting for a month or two."
"Too tired?" Qi Weichen paused.
Chu Qing coughed and said implicitly: "If you didn't have no self-control at all, I wouldn't be like this."
"Is it because of that incident?" A hint of doubt flashed in Qi Weichen's eyes.
Chu Qing immediately said seriously: "Is there anything else?"
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and looked at the medical report: "But according to your usual physical fitness, the amount of our activities should not cause you discomfort. I have always known this..."
"The medical examination report is out. How can I still lie to you?" Afraid that he would find out the flaw, Chu Qing quickly snatched the report away and clenched it into a ball, pretending to be angry.
Qi Weichen looked at her and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried there might be other reasons, so I want to take you for another checkup."
"No need to check, it's not serious. I just need to rest for two months." Chu Qing pretended to be nothing.
Seeing her insistence, Qi Weichen thought about the fact that he had just had a comprehensive physical examination some time ago, so he shouldn't worry too much. After considering for a moment, he agreed.
Given how careful Qi Weichen was with her, there was no need to worry for two months. Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room to rest happily.
They had been busy all day and night for more than a year, and now they finally had some free time. They both agreed that they would slow down for a long time, so they stayed at home. Because of Chu Qing's "lumbar muscle strain", Qi Weichen was very obedient and clingy these days, taking good care of her every day and never making trouble for her. It was as if he had changed his personality.
Chu Qing enjoyed his thoughtfulness, but couldn't help feeling guilty. Whenever she felt guilty, she would quietly comfort herself that it was his duty to serve his wife and children. It was his duty to serve his wife and children...
According to the current development, she might be able to conceal it until six months, but she never expected that morning sickness would come so early. Not long after one month, she began to vomit violently, and it was even worse than when she was with Qi Muyang. There was no way to conceal it.
The two days when she started vomiting happened to be weekends, and Qi Muyang was also at home. He was shocked when he saw her and hurried to the bathroom. After Chu Qing finished vomiting for a while, he helped her up worriedly: "Mom, how do you feel?"
"It's okay, it's just early morning sickness, I should be able to hold it in..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Qing started vomiting again. Qi Muyang was anxious: "This won't work. How about we go to the hospital?"
"It's a normal reaction, don't worry." Chu Qing recovered and comforted him.
Qi Muyang walked around anxiously, and after a while he secretly went to the refrigerator to get an ice cream, then slipped into the bathroom and gave it to her: "Mom, have some to calm you down."
"...Here?" Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Muyang took a look at the surrounding environment and said innocently: "What's wrong? It's very clean."
“…Oh.” Chu Qing’s stomach was churning, and she didn’t care about anything else. She took a few bites of the ice cream, and once the cool feeling reached her stomach, she felt comfortable all over.
Seeing her face improve, Qi Muyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sat on the floor with her in the bathroom. The mother and son looked at each other in silence. After a while, Qi Muyang frowned and said, "Mom, are you really okay?"
"Really not, vomiting is normal." Chu Qing said.
Qi Muyang was relieved, but then he had another worry: "Will you vomit again? What if my dad finds out?"
"No way, I also vomited when I was pregnant with you, but it wasn't anything extreme, and it passed quickly. As long as I don't vomit in front of him, it should be fine." Chu Qing had just finished speaking when her face suddenly changed. She threw the unfinished ice cream to Qi Muyang, and started vomiting again while holding the toilet.
Qi Muyang patted her back with concern, and when she recovered, he said, "You don't look like you can hold it in. My dad is so smart, he will definitely find out soon."
“…I don’t think so. I think I can hold it in.” Chu Qing was still holding on based on her past experience.
Qi Muyang looked at her disapprovingly, and soon came up with an idea: "How about we try to see if you can hold it in?"
"How do I try this thing?" Chu Qing frowned.
Qi Muyang: "If you vomit alone, he will definitely get suspicious easily, but if we both vomit together, he won't associate it with pregnancy. Let's pretend that we have food poisoning. When you vomit, I will go to the toilet. Let's trick him temporarily. If you can hold back from vomiting in front of him, then we can continue as before for the time being. If not, we can think of another way."
Chu Qing felt that what he said made sense, and couldn't help but feel touched: "Son, I'm lucky to have you, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"As long as I can protect you and your sister, no matter how dangerous it is, it's worth it." Qi Muyang sighed deeply.
The mother and son looked at each other and both looked miserable. That night, they both got food poisoning.
After two days of experimentation, Chu Qing was sure that her morning sickness was so severe that she couldn't hide it from Qi Weichen, who slept in the same bed with her. Qi Weichen was already forcing them to go to the hospital because of food poisoning. In order to avoid being exposed, they were forced to "get well" on their own initiative.
After the two-day weekend, Qi Muyang had to go to school again. Leaving Chu Qing alone with Qi Weichen at home would definitely be exposed in a minute, so the mother and son came up with another trick.
"You want to go and accompany your child to study?" Qi Weichen looked at Chu Qing calmly.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly. Qi Muyang beside him hurriedly said, "Dad, when you were with me before, I was quite normal, but after you left, I couldn't rest well. I didn't want to trouble you, but I was really uncomfortable, so I wanted my mom to stay with me for a few days."
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I'll go with your mother."
"No, no, I'll be upset if there are too many people, so just let my mom go by herself," Qi Muyang said, and added with a turn of his eyes, "But Dad, if you are really worried about me, you can go and accompany me, and let my mom stay at home." Anyway, the most important thing is to let his parents separate temporarily, as for who stays at home and who goes to school with him, it is not that important.
Qi Weichen stopped talking after hearing this, his cold eyes fell on the mother and son, and no one knew what he was thinking. Although he was over 40, his eyes were still clear and bright, and when he looked straight at you, it seemed as if he could see through your heart. The mother and son were already feeling guilty, and now that he was staring at them like this, they dared not look him in the eye.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Weichen said calmly, "Okay, go ahead."
The mother and son were delighted, but they immediately tensed up because they thought they couldn't show their true colors. Qi Weichen glanced at them and asked, "You vomited so much yesterday, are you okay now?"
Chu Qing paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Qi Muyang, who coughed immediately: "It's not completely healed... But it's okay, I feel much better after vomiting."
"Yes, I feel much more comfortable." Chu Qing followed up.
Qi Weichen stopped talking, stood up and walked back to the bedroom slowly. As soon as the bedroom door was closed, the mother and son suddenly leaned on the sofa like puppets with their strings cut, and they rested for a while before they had the strength to speak.
"You hold on for one more night. We will leave tomorrow morning. You can stay in the hotel so that we can call for help at any time. I have classes during the day, and I won't feel comfortable if you stay alone." Qi Muyang said weakly.
Chu Qing responded softly.
"Don't show any flaws tonight." Qi Muyang reminded again and again.
Chu Qing nodded: "Don't worry, I didn't eat anything at night, so even if I want to vomit, it will be dry heaving, and the noise will be much smaller."
"You've worked so hard. Let's get up early tomorrow morning so you can eat more." Qi Muyang said with concern.
Chu Qing waved her hands, took a few deep breaths and then returned to the bedroom.
Qi Weichen was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, quietly flipping through a German book. The bright light shone on his gold-rimmed glasses. His slender, bony fingers were resting on the tree, making him look both gentle and villainous.
Chu Qing swallowed silently, went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and then lay down on the bed. Then she asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Hold on."
“…Oh.” Chu Qing silently crawled into the quilt and curled up inside without moving.
Half an hour later, when she was about to fall asleep, she felt the place beside her sinking. Almost instinctively, she turned over and got into his arms. She used her hands and feet to rest on him, rubbed her face against his arm, and then stopped moving.
"You've been feeling sleepy easily lately, and you keep complaining of being tired." Qi Weichen said slowly.
Chu Qing snorted and said confusedly: "A little bit..."
"I vomited a lot too." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Chu Qing responded again, then felt something was wrong. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at him in silence.
Qi Weichen didn't say a word, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She withdrew her hands and feet from him and silently made a gesture to prepare to escape.
Qi Weichen seemed not to notice that she was about to run away, and continued to speak slowly: "You had back pain before, and now you are so resistant to the hospital and are ready to leave me."
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva and felt like she was about to sweat. Just when she was extremely nervous, Qi Weichen suddenly hugged her, and there was a hint of tension in his voice: "Tell me, do you have any disease that is difficult to cure clinically?"
Chu Qing: “?”
