“Prepare the report and give Xiao Qing a copy. Give me a copy too.”
“Okay.”
…
Because the wedding was called off, Madam Shen had a lot of objections.
She was furious when she saw Shen Mubei sitting on the sofa and watching the financial news as if nothing had happened.
“Look at you! Can’t you watch something else other than this? You let such a good woman go. What are you thinking? What was wrong with the child? Tell me!”
“Mom, stop asking. It’s nothing. We’re just not suitable.”
“If you’re not suitable for each other, can’t you change? Look at you…” Madam Shen pointed at him. “I’m so angry. I went to look for Qing Qing today. She didn’t look good. Why can’t you take this opportunity to ask about her well-being?”
Shen Mubei pursed his lips and did not speak. His expression suddenly turned ugly.
Madam Shen continued, “Sigh, it’s just a child. It’s not like she can’t get pregnant in the future. Look at how you’re acting. You’re arguing so much over such a small matter.”
Shen Mubei stood up and walked toward the wine cabinet. When he reached out to take his usual bottle of red wine, he realized that the rack was empty.
“Where’s my wine?” he asked unhappily.
“I got someone to throw them away. You should stop drinking.”
“Why?”
Madam Shen walked over and s.n.a.t.c.hed his gla.s.s. “Why? Why? You’re still asking me why? I’ve already talked to your Aunt Xiao and Xiao Qing. I even read Xiao Qing’s report. The doctor said that it’s because the two of you drank the night Xiao Qing conceived that there’s a problem with the embryo’s development. Xiao Qing had been showing signs of a miscarriage before this. Fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with your genetics. It’s not a big problem for you to have a healthy child in the future…”
Before she could finish, she saw Shen Mubei pick up his car keys and run out the door.
“Hey, child, you don’t want your coat anymore? You don’t even want to change your shoes? Who wears slippers out?”
…
In Qiao Weiyang’s car, Xiao Qing’s smile became much better.
“You have to take good care of your body when you go overseas this time. After all, it’s only been a few days since the surgery.”
“Don’t worry, I’m recovering very well. There’s no big problem anymore. Besides, I’m only going overseas to sightsee and get some fresh air. I won’t do anything tiring. It’s almost like a vacation.”
Xiao Qing said with a smile.
In the past few days, her mental state had indeed recovered quite well. She had a smile on her face and was much more relaxed.
When they arrived at the airport, Qiao Weiyang took her luggage down for her. Xiao Qing took it and said, “You don’t have to send me in. I can go by myself. Go back quickly. I’ve wasted too much of your time.”
“Call me when you get there. Take a photo and send it to me,” Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
“Okay.” Xiao Qing nodded and waved at her.
When she felt her phone ring, she picked it up and saw that it was from Shen Mubei.
Ever since the argument at the hospital that day, Shen Mubei had not called her or met her.
Their two mothers were basically the ones who sat together to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.
Xiao Qing had also met up with Madam Shen. She showed a good att.i.tude and kept comforting her.
She felt that she had actually done a good job in cleaning up the aftermath. She had done everything she needed to do.
In order not to worry Madam Shen, she even showed her the hospital’s examination report to prove that there was nothing wrong with Shen Mubei. In the future, he could also have healthy children with others.
She really did not know what Shen Mubei wanted to say to her.
Hence, she did not pick it up. The ringtone automatically stopped.
Xiao Qing received her boarding pa.s.s and walked toward the boarding gate before turning off her phone.
Qiao Weiyang returned to the set. After filming, she saw Shen Mubei sitting at the side. His expression was a little scary. All the staff avoided him as they walked around him.
“President Shen.” Qiao Weiyang greeted him politely, indicating that he should move aside and not sit in her chair.
Shen Mubei stood up and said coldly, “Where did Xiao Qing go?”
“I thought you’d be able to find this information yourself?” Qiao Weiyang said and continued, “No, President Shen, you have nothing to do with Qing Qing anymore. I hope you can understand that having nothing to do with each other after breaking up is the best outcome. Otherwise, you’ll cause Xiao Qing a lot of trouble.”
“Qiao Weiyang, I implore you to tell me.” His voice lowered, and there was a hint of hurt in his tone.
This was an emotion that rarely appeared in the high and mighty Shen Mubei.
Qiao Weiyang was stunned. What kind of feelings did he have for Xiao Qing?
She believed that her intuition would not lie to her. Shen Mubei was obviously agitated. He was completely different from before. When he was with Zhao Xinshu, he was also completely different.
Qiao Weiyang didn’t know what to say.
Shen Mubei pondered for a moment and said, “I can indeed investigate, but this is too disrespectful to her.”
“Then wouldn’t it be disrespectful if her friend told you?” Qiao Weiyang asked back. Although she had noticed his feelings for Xiao Qing, Qiao Weiyang still did not intend to betray her friend.
Shen Mubei: “…”
“President Shen, you’re not the only one suffering in this relations.h.i.+p. It’s obvious that Qing Qing has endured much more than you. Can you give the both of you some time to consider your relations.h.i.+p and think about it carefully before saying anything else?”
Shen Mubei did not say anything.
Qiao Weiyang continued, “Talk to her properly, especially about your relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Xinshu, okay?”
Shen Mubei stared at Qiao Weiyang for a while before turning around and leaving.
Qiao Weiyang immediately called Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing was eating a local specialty snack. She sounded like she was in a good mood over the phone.
“No ice, just an extra spoonful of syrup.” She took the snack and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you miss me so soon?”
“Shen Mubei came to look for me. He asked where you went.”
“You didn’t tell him, did you?”
“No, but Qingqing, I think the two of you might need to communicate carefully. I think Shen Mubei’s feelings for you might be different from what you think.”
Xiao Qing laughed. “That’s not true. He was clearly with Zhao Xinshu that day, and they were even hugging each other.”
“Qing Qing, I’ve observed the relations.h.i.+p between Zhao Xinshu and him. He’s so cold to her that they’ve almost never held hands. I suggest you ask him directly about some things and communicate properly. Don’t be so suspicious of each other.”
Xiao Qing was silent for a long time.
Qiao Weiyang said, “You’re usually a carefree and straightforward person. Why are you so timid when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps?”
