Chapter 845: A Friend and Family Member
“So, I want to be more considerate.”
Sheng Xiao wrapped his arm around her and said plainly, “There’s no need.”
“Sheng Xiao, I’m an adult now. Can you trust me a little more?”
When Sheng Xiao heard this, he pinched her face. “What did you call me?”
“Hubby, Hubby… Let go.”
“I asked Xu Che to find you some books related to forensics so that you can pa.s.s the time,” Sheng Xiao said to Mu Qiqi before he got out of the car.
He was the one who understood her the most in this world.
“If I read these while I’m pregnant, will it be… bad for my prenatal education?”
“With you around, I don’t expect good prenatal education.” With that, Sheng Xiao took a step forward and returned to the car. He then instructed Xu Che, “Go to Zhongteng.”
After two days of not handling things, work had already piled up like a mountain.
“By the way, check on Jin Bo.”
Xu Che was surprised, but he did not ask. “Got it.”
..
After Mu Qiqi returned home, she took out all the handicrafts in the storeroom. When Fifth Aunt saw that, her legs turned to jelly. “Little girl, you can’t carry heavy objects now. You’re scaring me to death.”
“It’s fine. They’re all very light things.” Mu Qiqi’s eyes were sparkling. Ever since she was pregnant, she had been very energetic every day.
“What do you want to do?”
“Make a small wooden horse for the baby and some toys.” After Mu Qiqi said that, she opened the packaging of the boxes. Thinking about how she, as a forensic doctor, could play with the scalpel so beautifully, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to do these things.
Fifth Aunt did not disturb her and let her sit in the living room and fiddle with the handicrafts.
This was good. She wouldn’t be bored at home every day and get sick.
“Fifth Aunt, if you have time, tell me about medicinal cuisines. I want to learn.”
“Let me say this first. If you want to learn, you can, but you can’t go into the kitchen.” Fifth Aunt made a rule for her in advance. She could not afford the responsibility.
“Okay, I won’t.”
As long as it was related to the child, Mu Qiqi was very obedient.
“Young Madam, for after the baby is born, we should prepare a nursery. But there’s only one bedroom and one study upstairs. Should we have it downstairs?”
Fifth Aunt’s question got Mu Qiqi thinking. If it was placed downstairs, it would definitely be inconvenient for her to feed the baby when it was born. But if it was upstairs…
“Then change Xiao Xiao and my cloakroom. It’s just a matter of having another small bed. Before the baby is two years old, it won’t be able to leave me.”
She had already thought of the child as a two-year-old.
“I should prepare earlier.”
“But it’s not convenient for me to go out and buy things.” Mu Qiqi thought about it and decided to make her purchases online. However, when she thought about it, it wasn’t convenient.
“Madam and I can do this for you.”
Although Mu Qiqi wanted to decorate it personally, she thought about the safety issue and gave up.
The matter of the nursery was settled and Mu Qiqi continued to make her handicrafts. However, she received a call from Lu Qianqian in the afternoon. “Qiqi, are you sick?”
“Where did you hear the news?”
“A former cla.s.smate. I met him today. He’s also in Sheng Ting. He said that you’ve taken a break from school and are recuperating at home. What happened to you?” Lu Qianqian called Mu Qiqi when she received the news. It was obvious that she was a friend and family member.
“I’m not sick. I’m… pregnant.” Mu Qiqi smiled and said in one breath. “We’re keeping this matter from the public, so Xiao Xiao “made” me sick.”
“Pregnant?” Lu Qianqian almost screamed in front of her subordinates. “I’ll drive over to see you tonight.”
“Okay.” Mu Qiqi agreed. “Then, big CEO, we’ll talk later tonight.”
“Okay.”
The two of them hung up the phone. Mu Qiqi immediately said to Fifth Aunt, “There are guests coming tonight. I’ll have to trouble you to prepare a rich dinner.”
“This is a small matter. Leave it to me.”
Mu Qiqi did not want everyone to know, but she felt that it would be a little strange to not tell her good friend. Moreover, Qianqian was someone she could trust.
That evening, Lu Qianqian drove a red Ferrari to the Banyan Courtyard in a flashy manner.
When she saw Mu Qiqi’s, she sighed. “You are no longer that seventeen-year-old girl…”
“CEO Lu, you’re becoming more and more capable as a female CEO.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Lu Qianqian immediately looked at her lower abdomen. “It hasn’t been long since I saw you, and you suddenly have a baby? Your CEO is so efficient.”
“It was purely an accident!” Mu Qiqi laughed mischievously.
“You’re so silly, yet you’re so happy? Look at you guys. You can’t even control yourself at such an important event like the inauguration ceremony. If you didn’t get pregnant from that, who would?”
Mu Qiqi was so embarra.s.sed that her ears turned red.
“Forget it. As long as my sister is happy, I won’t say anything. I bought a small gift for the baby in the car. Your President will take it down later.”
“You don’t even know the gender. Why are you wasting money?”
“I’m happy.”
The two sisters chatted and laughed as they entered the living room. However, in the end, they did not see Sheng Xiao come home.
After dinner, Mu Qiqi was sleepy. Lu Qianqian saw that and got up from the sofa. “I won’t keep the pregnant woman from resting. I’m going home.”
“Qianqian, if you see any cla.s.smates in the future, just say that I’m very sick.”
“Got it.” Lu Qianqian hugged Mu Qiqi. “You stay at home and take good care of the fetus.”
After Lu Qianqian left, Mu Qiqi went upstairs and fell asleep. It was really easy to get used to things like this. She should not have had so many reactions after being pregnant for just slightly more than a month. However, Mu Qiqi had a scale in her heart. The earlier she got into the habit of going to bed early, the better it would be for the child.
At 8:30 pm, Sheng Xiao entered the house. He did not see Mu Qiqi and knew that she was asleep upstairs.
“Sir is back.”
“How’s Qi’er today?” Sheng Xiao took off his coat.
“She made some handicrafts in the afternoon and then talked about the baby’s room. I think she’s quite disappointed that she can’t go out to buy things for the baby.”
After Sheng Xiao heard this, he first went upstairs to look at the pregnant woman on the bed.
After making sure that she was sound asleep, he quietly went to the study.
The baby’s room.
It was time.
..
The next day, Feng Shanshan and Tang Yan had agreed to attend Song Qiaozhi’s lecture. So the two of them got up early.
Tang Yan drove Feng Shanshan to the medical university, but he had ended at least six to seven times phone calls on the way.
“If you’re really busy, you can go back after we reach the university.” Feng Shanshan tilted her head and said, “The school is full of people, you don’t have to worry.”
Tang Yan did not say anything and directly turned off his phone.
Feng Shanshan secretly smiled. Forget it, this man was thoughtful. Let him accompany her. Which wife didn’t want her husband’s company?
