When Chu Qing was confused, Qi Weichen let her go. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, his eyes were slightly red. "Mu Yang already knows, right?"
“… Wait a minute, I’m not sick, but where’s your brain? You’re a medical researcher after all, are you so unprofessional?” Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Weichen held her hand and said, "I know you are scared, but you have to trust the doctor and trust me. I will not let anything happen to you."
"Stop it, I'm really fine."
"Then come with me to the hospital for a check-up." Qi Weichen said.
Chu Qing's lips moved, and she was speechless for a moment. Qi Weichen stared at her steadily, his fingers covering her hand trembling slightly, and he turned his face away for a long while: "Go to sleep first, and we'll discuss this tomorrow."
"I really didn't..."
"Go to bed, good night." Qi Weichen interrupted gently and hugged the person again.
Chu Qing lay in his arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking about what she should do if he insisted on taking her for a physical examination, so as to avoid being diagnosed with pregnancy and not have radiation damage to her body. Although she was only pregnant for more than a month, her body's reaction was too strong, and even though she was worried at the moment, Chu Qing still fell asleep quickly.
She didn't know how long she had slept, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned over habitually and rolled into someone's arms. After turning around, she didn't find anyone. She was stunned, looking at the empty seat next to her. She stayed there for a long time before she remembered to look for someone.
After walking around the bathroom and living room, she was hesitating whether to go to Qi Muyang's room when she suddenly noticed that the door of the study was ajar. She walked over quietly, pushed the door open and instantly smelled smoke. Then she saw the study full of smoke and couldn't help but stop where she was.
Qi Weichen has always paid great attention to his health and only smokes when he is under great pressure. However, he only takes a few puffs each time. There has never been a time like today when the house was filled with the smell of smoke.
Qi Weichen saw her the first time, put out the cigarette in his hand immediately, walked towards her, pushed her shoulders and walked out of the house. After the smell of smoke was completely locked in the study, he stopped and asked, "Why are you awake?"
Chu Qing stared at his eyes, which were redder than before he went to bed. After a long while, she asked carefully, "Have you cried?"
"No." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes.
Chu Qing pursed her lips: "Don't lie to me."
Qi Weichen stopped talking. The two stood facing each other for a long time before he suddenly said, "I don't want you to die."
Chu Qing was stunned.
"In my vision, we should live together to exceed the average life expectancy. Generally, women live longer than men, so I will work hard to exercise, stay away from smoking and drinking, and try to live as long as you. If the country has not implemented euthanasia when you want to leave, I can go abroad to do it, and then we can go together, so you won't be scared." Qi Weichen's voice became increasingly drier as he spoke.
Chu Qing was depressed: "The person is gone, how can you still be afraid? Aren't you a materialist? Do you believe in hell and heaven?"
"I didn't believe it before, but the older I get, the more I want to believe it." Only by believing this will I feel that I will have more than just this life with her.
Chu Qing's eyes were sore from what he said, and she stretched out her hands to hug him, but Qi Weichen took two steps back: "Don't come over, I smell too strong."
"I want to be hugged." Chu Qing sniffed and almost cried.
Qi Weichen hugged her tenderly, and asked half helplessly and half sadly: "You are already over 40 years old, why are you still like a little girl?"
"Who told you to say such nonsense? It makes me feel so sad." Chu Qing sobbed and secretly wiped her tears on his clothes.
Qi Weichen hugged her tightly and murmured, "I only talked about my future plans, but I never thought about what would happen if you left. I thought about it all night and felt that I might not be able to hold on. I'm afraid Mu Yang will have to be left to the care of the elders in the future."
Chu Qing was startled and pushed him away hastily. She stared at him for a long time and said anxiously, "Nonsense! If something happens to me, would you still want to die?"
"That depends on whether you are willing to treat your illness properly." Qi Weichen turned his face away.
Chu Qing took a deep breath and couldn't help punching him: "I'm not sick! I was just having morning sickness!"
"But you clearly..." Halfway through her words, Qi Weichen suddenly understood what she meant and his expression froze.
Chu Qing said it impulsively, and suddenly regretted it. After a while, she calmed down and said, "I was just teasing you. Actually, I am really sick..." Ah! What on earth is she talking about? !
Qi Weichen looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes seemed to see through her from inside out. Chu Qing felt a little pressured and couldn't help but turn around and run, but Qi Weichen grabbed her collar like a chick.
"I'm sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Chu Qing said dryly.
"You are pregnant." Qi Weichen used a declarative tone.
Chu Qing turned stiffly, looked at him for a moment, and then said carefully: "Compared to the terminal illness I have, do you feel that pregnancy is just a trivial matter?"
"When did you know?" Qi Weichen was not fooled by her.
Chu Qing said awkwardly: "I just found out a few days ago."
"How long are you going to keep it a secret from me? When will the child be born?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing muttered softly: "That's not the case, I'm just afraid that you won't let me have the baby, so I want to wait until the month is a little bit older..."
"Chu Qing, we are husband and wife. Shouldn't you tell me about the pregnancy as soon as possible? Since you are already pregnant and you insist on having the baby, would I force you not to do it? How overbearing am I in your eyes?" Qi Weichen's words were filled with seriousness and disappointment, and he seemed really angry.
Chu Qing knew that what she did was unreasonable, so she didn't dare to say anything. Qi Weichen looked at her deeply, turned around and walked towards the bedroom. Chu Qing hurriedly followed him out. She wanted to coax him after returning to the room, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw him walking out with a quilt in his arms. She was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"
"Study." Qi Weichen said these two words expressionlessly and left without looking back.
Chu Qing looked at him blankly as he left. After a long time, she returned to the bedroom and vomited for a while before lying down on the bed. The man beside her had left, and the bed was empty. She thought she was destined to be sleepless tonight, but she still underestimated the sleeping ability of pregnant women. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up the next day, it was already past eight o'clock. Before she opened her eyes, she felt a strong urge to vomit. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to vomit. After vomiting, she sat on the floor for ten minutes. After she felt better, she washed up and went out, just in time to see Qi Muyang.
"Good morning, Mom." Qi Muyang smiled dryly.
Chu Qing glanced around and hurriedly called him over: "Did your father say anything to you?"
"Mom, how did you get exposed?" he asked at the same time.
Two questions appeared at the same time, and the answers seemed to come out with the questions. The mother and son looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. Just as they were looking at each other in silence, Qi Weichen came out of the kitchen. The mother and son were startled and immediately stood up obediently.
"You have a class at 10 o'clock, why aren't you leaving yet?" Qi Weichen asked coldly.
Qi Muyang smiled awkwardly: "I'm leaving now."
"The temperature is going to drop, so bring some thick clothes." Qi Weichen looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing: “?”
"Don't you want to accompany me to study? Go ahead." Qi Weichen said expressionlessly, turned around and went back to the study.
Chu Qing: “…”
Qi Muyang's face was heavy: "What should I do now? Looking at my father's expression, he really doesn't want a sister. My sister is too pitiful."
“… We are the ones who are pitiful now. Don’t you realize that not only does he not want his sister, he doesn’t even want both of us anymore?” Chu Qing said speechlessly.
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment: "Oh, right, did he mean to chase you away just now?"
"That's probably right. He probably hates me to death and wants to get out of sight so he lets me continue to accompany him to study," Chu Qing tried to guess what Qi Weichen was thinking. "... But it could also be that he was just angry and said that on purpose so that I can coax him."
The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more she felt that the last possibility was more likely. After all, Qi Weichen had been angry with her before, but no matter how angry he was, he had never been willing to part with her.
"That should be the first possibility. He doesn't want a second baby the most, but you have a second baby in your belly now. He must hate you and be annoyed with you too. By the way, he is also annoyed with me, the first baby that came out of your belly." The stupid teammate Qi Muyang always shines at the critical moment.
Chu Qing hesitated: "Is that so?"
"That's for sure, no doubt about it, so the best way now is for us to leave for a while and come back after he calms down." Qi Muyang said with reason.
Chu Qing couldn't help but nod silently, feeling that Daerza was very reliable.
Qi Muyang thought so too, and made a quick decision: "Let's go, Mom, do you have money?"
"Yes, a lot of money." Chu Qing said hurriedly.
Qi Muyang exhaled lightly, his expression relaxed: "Yes, you are 42 years old now, very rich, don't be afraid, I will find you the best hotel near the school, and I will take care of you in the future."
"…What about your dad?" Chu Qing frowned.
Qi Muyang was helpless: "He should be able to take care of himself, so let's not worry about it."
Chu Qing thought so too, so she nodded, went back to her room to pack some clothes, and then happily followed Qi Muyang away.
Qi Weichen in the study was holding a book and hadn't turned a page for half an hour. After he said those words, he suddenly felt a little regretful. He was afraid that the mother and son would take it seriously and Chu Qing would leave with her son. He also felt that since he was so angry now, Chu Qing should not leave.
He was angry that the mother and son had kept such a big thing from him, and at the same time he was worried about Chu Qing's health, and he was so irritated that he couldn't read a single word. Finally, he couldn't help but walk out of the study, wanting to talk to Chu Qing again, but the huge house was empty, and he was the only one left.
Chu Qing and Qi Muyang took a taxi to school. They asked the driver to stop three times on the way and she almost vomited in the driver's car. Qi Muyang apologized repeatedly and finally paid double the fare.
When they settled in the hotel, Chu Qing's face was as white as paper, and Qi Muyang was so scared that he hurriedly bit off a bowl of brown sugar eggs for her. After Chu Qing finished eating, her face looked much better, and she lay weakly on the bed: "I'll be fine after a rest."
"You go to sleep. I'll go back to school first and come to see you at noon. If you feel uncomfortable in the meantime, remember to call me." Qi Muyang frowned and reminded.
Chu Qing responded softly and soon fell asleep. Qi Muyang waited until she fell asleep before leaving quietly. After class at noon, he ran back to the hotel like a fly. After entering the door, he saw Chu Qing eating seafood porridge. He was so scared that he quickly snatched the bowl away: "Mom! How can you eat seafood!"
"It's just seafood porridge, what's wrong with eating it?" Chu Qing looked at him blankly.
Qi Muyang hated her for not arguing: "Of course you can't eat it! Don't you know that pregnant women can't eat seafood? You're a scientist, but you don't know anything."
"... It's foolish to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. I'll just eat a little, what's wrong with that?" Chu Qing tried to grab it speechlessly. Qi Muyang dodged backwards and ate everything in the bowl in a hurry.
Chu Qing glared: "You've eaten everything, what should I eat?"
"I'll get you something else." After Qi Muyang said that, he searched for food suitable for pregnant women and happily ordered food for her.
Half an hour later, Chu Qing looked at the chicken soup in front of her, was silent for a moment, then rushed into the bathroom and started vomiting.
"Mom, please hold on. You need nutrition now. You need to drink more soup and eat more meat, okay?" Qi Muyang patted her back with concern.
Chu Qing waved her hands: "I can't stand that smell."
"Then just block your nose and don't smell anything, that should be fine." Qi Muyang suggested.
Chu Qing vomited for a long time before she recovered. She followed Qi Muyang's instructions and ate a little, then asked him to take it away. Qi Muyang stayed with her for an hour, and was ready to leave when class was about to start. He took only two steps and turned back: "Mom, give me your ID card."
"Why do you want an ID card?" Chu Qing was puzzled, but still gave him the card.
Qi Muyang thought for a moment and asked again: "Do you have cash?"
"No." Chu Qing replied.
Qi Muyang was relieved: "I told the hotel that if you are hungry, I will send you a nutritious meal. I will keep your card first to prevent you from eating anything carelessly."
Chu Qing, who was about to sneak a bite to eat after he left, said, "... You don't have to be so strict, right?"
"Of course I have to be strict. Although according to the current level of technology, you are not considered an elderly mother, but you still have to be careful. Since you followed me out, I have to be responsible for you," Qi Muyang said seriously, "Also, don't even think about ordering takeout with your phone. I will check your consumption records."
Chu Qing: “…” How shameless.
Qi Muyang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing else to remind him, so he went back to school. Chu Qing touched her hungry stomach and sighed deeply, praying that his enthusiasm would disappear in two days so that she could eat more.
However, she underestimated her son. Although Qi Muyang was impatient and jumpy, and had little perseverance like most young people of his age, he was very serious about his mother and sister, and only fed them the so-called nutritious meals for many days.
Chu Qing didn't quite understand why the food, which usually tasted good, smelled so unbearable fishy recently. She just knew that if she continued to eat like this, she would really die.
Qi Weichen had a hard time just like her. It was really unpleasant to stay at home alone. He only lasted two days before he could no longer resist and went to the hotel, staying in the room next to Chu Qing. However, out of self-esteem, he did not tell the mother and son, and only took a peek at them occasionally when they went out for a walk.
After living there for two days, he clearly noticed that Chu Qing had lost weight. This discovery made him very anxious, and he finally couldn't help but call Qi Muyang.
"Dad!" Chu Qing couldn't eat or sleep well. Qi Muyang was also not feeling well these days, but he didn't dare to call him for consultation. He was so tormented that he felt haggard. Now that he saw his father calling him, he was immediately excited.
Qi Weichen paused and said, "I accidentally dialed the wrong number and hung up."
"No, no, no! I want to ask you something." Qi Muyang said hurriedly.
Qi Weichen's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "What's the matter?"
Qi Muyang hurriedly told Chu Qing about her recent discomfort. Qi Weichen frowned again: "Let her eat whatever she likes. The impact of food itself on the body is far less than that of malnutrition. Don't restrict her diet anymore."
"… So, I was wrong?" Qi Muyang suddenly felt guilty.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "You have never taken care of a pregnant woman, so it's normal that you don't know."
"You must have taken good care of me when my mother was pregnant with me. Can I ask you if I don't understand something in the future?" Qi Muyang asked carefully.
This was not the answer Qi Weichen wanted to hear. He pursed his lips and changed his words: "You have no experience before. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to do it well."
"What should we do then?" Qi Muyang was depressed.
Qi Weichen hinted: "She needs better care at this time. It would be better if someone who has experience in taking care of pregnant women and understands her could do this. If you are willing to admit your mistakes..."
"I know! I'll find her a gold medal confinement nanny!" Qi Muyang interrupted his father excitedly, "No one will be more experienced than a confinement nanny. I'll go find one now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Qi Weichen faced the beeping phone and managed to say for a long time: "Unfilial son!"
Qi Muyang did what he said and really went to the housekeeping company. When Chu Qing heard about this, she immediately refused: "No!"
"Why not?" Qi Muyang wondered.
Chu Qing looked at him with a worried look: "I live in a hotel. Now I'm looking for a confinement nanny to live in the hotel with me? Besides, I'm fine now. I don't need a confinement nanny to take care of me at all."
"You've lost so much weight, how can you not have someone take care of you?" Qi Muyang frowned.
Chu Qing glanced at him: "Why not? As long as you don't cause any trouble for me, I'll be fine with anything."
Qi Muyang knew that he was in the wrong this time, and he dared not speak. Seeing that she was very resistant to asking someone to come, he could only give up this idea temporarily. Fortunately, after he stopped restricting Chu Qing from eating, Chu Qing soon gained some weight and her complexion improved a lot, but the morning sickness had not been resolved.
A week later, the two were going to the hospital for a physical examination. Chu Qing's face changed as soon as she got in the taxi, and she quickly got out of the car and vomited. Qi Muyang was very worried: "Mom, can't you take the car?"
"It's okay to take our family car, but taking a taxi really isn't an option." Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Muyang hesitated: "Then I go home and drive?" He just passed the driving test recently.
"No, I'm worried. If it's not far, let's walk there, or buy an electric car and you take me with you." Chu Qing thought of an idea.
Qi Muyang thought about it and felt that it was okay, but Chu Qing didn't look very well now, so the most urgent thing was to go back to the hotel and rest. So he helped his mother walk back, planning to go for the prenatal check-up tomorrow.
The noise of the mother and son leaving and coming back was heard clearly by Qi Weichen who lived next door. He finally couldn't help but called Qi Muyang.
"Dad, you dialed the wrong number again?" His father dialed the wrong number almost once a day during this period. Qi Muyang said that he was used to it. He wanted to see how long this old man could keep being stubborn.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "You should have had your prenatal checkup today, why didn't you go?"
"My mother feels sick when riding in a taxi. She couldn't stand it as soon as we got in the car. She planned to rest for a day and then go tomorrow... How do you know we didn't go?" Qi Muyang said this, as if he suddenly discovered the truth.
Qi Weichen's expression was slightly stiff: "Since taking a taxi is disgusting, I will take you to the hospital tomorrow..."
"Don't interrupt," Qi Muyang narrowed his eyes, determined not to be fooled, "We just got back to the hotel and you called. Are you around us?"
He received a call in the bathroom. Chu Qing didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing a few words, she vaguely felt that it was Qi Weichen who called, and couldn't help but move closer to listen to his voice. Although she had only been out for a few days, because she was not feeling well, she kept thinking about Qi Weichen's goodness.
Qi Weichen realized that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he sighed and said, "I'm next door to you."
Chu Qing suddenly opened her eyes wide, and Qi Muyang was also a little surprised: "When did you come?"
"I came here the second night after you moved out," Qi Weichen pursed his lips and said in a bad mood, "Don't tell her, I have to save face too..."
"Hubby!" Chu Qing cried, tears falling like money, as if she had suffered a great injustice, "I miss you so much..."
“Mom, don’t cry…” Qi Muyang was shocked by her emotional outburst. Thinking of the pressure and suffering his mother had endured in the past few days, he couldn’t help but choke up.
The mother and son were crying together. Qi Weichen no longer cared about his reputation. He immediately rushed to the next door and knocked on the door. Qi Muyang opened the door with tears in his eyes. Chu Qing rushed into his arms like a little bubble: "Oh, you are so cruel, I vomited so hard, and you didn't care about me..."
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry. Don't cry. It's not good for your health." Qi Weichen was so heartbroken that he couldn't even breathe completely.
Chu Qing was still sad, and Qi Muyang couldn't help crying. His wife and children were crying together. Qi Weichen had to coax them for a long time before they calmed down.
The final result was that Qi Muyang took two days off and went home with his parents. As soon as they got home, it seemed as if all the pressure was gone. The mother and son fell asleep immediately and slept soundly until dawn the next day.
When Chu Qing opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Qi Weichen. Her eyes turned red and her mouth curled up, and she was about to cry. Qi Weichen hugged her helplessly and said, "That's enough."
“… You don’t care about me, and you don’t even worry about what might happen to me out there. How can you be so cruel? You even said you wanted to grow old with me. You’re such a liar.” Chu Qing began to complain aggrievedly.
Qi Weichen was very amused by her accusation: "Who asked you to hide it from me first?"
"I didn't mean it. If you hadn't been so resistant to having a second child before, would I have dared not tell you?" Chu Qing glared.
Qi Weichen frowned: "I don't want you to give birth because I'm afraid it will affect your body, not because I'm against children."
"Anyway, you are resisting. When the child is born, I will tell him all your dislike for him, so that he will not like you either." Chu Qing muttered.
Qi Weichen pinched her face: "How old are you?"
"42." Chu Qing answered dissatisfiedly.
Qi Weichen's eyes flashed with a smile: "You said such childish things, I thought you were only 12 years old."
"Still laughing at me?" Chu Qing immediately opened her eyes wide and questioned, as if she had caught him in some kind of handle.
Qi Weichen silently pinched her mouth, refusing her to make trouble again: "Get up, I'll take you to the prenatal check-up."
Seeing that he took the initiative to bring up this matter, Chu Qing's mood improved. After getting up, she urged him to go quickly. When Qi Muyang saw this, he insisted on following him. In the end, Qi Weichen took the mother and child to the prenatal check-up together.
After completing the other examinations and hearing the small heartbeat in the ultrasound room, the expressions of the family of three were a little strange.
"This is... my sister?" Qi Muyang stared at the screen in amazement.
Chu Qing corrected: "I'm not sure about the gender yet."
"It must be my younger sister," Qi Muyang said confidently, and he did not forget to look at Qi Weichen after he finished speaking, "Isn't that right, Dad? It must be my younger sister."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen answered in the affirmative, and Qi Muyang's mood immediately improved.
Chu Qing wanted to roll her eyes, but before she could say anything, she heard Qi Weichen say quietly, "At least a daughter will be closer to her father, and she wouldn't hide her pregnancy from her father."
Qi Muyang: “…” What happened to me being hit by an arrow suddenly
After this prenatal checkup, Qi Weichen officially took over the responsibility of taking care of the pregnant woman, and at the same time reduced his workload in the next few years by half so that he could take care of the baby who was about to be born. Chu Qing disagreed at first, but Qi Weichen insisted that he take care of the baby this time, so she finally had to listen to him.
When the baby was four months old, the gender of the baby was checked and it was a girl. The family of three was very satisfied and waited silently for the baby to be born.
After ten months of pregnancy, Qi Yueyang was born. His chubby appearance successfully touched the cuteness hearts of everyone in the family.
