Chapter 637: 623, Drink Not Suitable for Men (5)_1 Chapter 637: 623, Drink Not Suitable for Men (5)_1 Quan Jingwuâs thin lips parted slightly, emitting a low chuckle as he put down his bowl of stew and moved Jian Qing onto his lap.
His finger lightly grazed the tip of her nose, a playful glint in his eyes, âYou really donât want to drink it?â
Jian Qing looked at him, placing his hand on her belly, âThe baby says it is full.â
âOh you!â he laughed lightly, his tone filled with indulgence.
âLet me feed you.â Jian Qing reached for the bowl of stew, acting solicitously.
Quan Jingwu, with one hand around her waist, met her radiant eyes and helplessly accepted the supplement she was feeding him.
The subtle taste of the medicinal soup lingered on his tongue, causing his brow to furrow almost imperceptibly.
âThird sister-in-law!â
Quan Yifei appeared at the entrance, glancing at the couple on the couch, she paused in her step.
She gave an embarrassed smile, âUm, did I interrupt you guys?â
My goodness, she was almost choked by the unexpected display of affection.
Couldnât they keep their intimate actions behind closed doors?
âNo, youâre not interrupting, come in.â Jian Qing seemed undisturbed, laughing as she spoke.
Quan Yifei scratched her head, walking in.
Noticing the bowl of stew in Jian Qingâs hand, her eyes widened, âUm, third sister-in-law, isnât this the soup that second auntie prepared for you?â
âYes.â she nodded.
Seeing her admit it, Quan Yifei looked at Quan Jingwu in shock, âI heard from second auntie that she added some ingredients for stabilizing the pregnancy to todayâs supplement. Itâs not suitable for men.â
If she hadnât mistaken, she saw Jian Qing feeding the supplement to her third brother when she walked in.
Upon hearing this, Jian Qingâs smile froze.
She quickly reacted and hurriedly got off his lap, pulling him up.
âXiaojing, go to the bathroom and vomit it out.â
How was she to know about the pregnancy-stabilizing herbs in the soup? Had she known, she wouldnât have let him drink it. Now, this was a disaster.
Quan Jingwu held her hand, speaking helplessly, âItâs okay, I only had a couple of bites, it wonât have any effect.â
âThatâs right, third sister-in-law, itâs fine, a couple of sips shouldnât matter.â Quan Yifei, thinking she had scared Jian Qing, quickly reassured her.
Jian Qing looked at her, asking with certainty, âReally?â
Under the cold gaze from her third brother, Quan Yifei didnât hesitate to nod.
âYes, it wonât matter.â
Oh my.
She should have stayed in bed at this late hour, coming here was really asking for trouble.
âThatâs a relief.â Jian Qing sighed.
âYifei, you were looking for me?â
âMingyan and I are on video call, we were wondering if youâd like to join us.â Quan Yifei said.
Jian Qing glanced at the time, it was only nine oâclock.
Seeing it was still early, she consented.
âSure.â
She picked up the bowl of stew and turned to Quan Jingwu, saying, âI guess Iâll drink the supplement myself, Iâll be back in a while.â
âAlright, put on your jacket.â Quan Jingwu handed her his outerwear, helping her put it on. The baggy coat enveloped her, keeping her almost completely insulated.
Quan Yifei took her arm, and the two of them left together.
âThird sister-in-law, how is Xiya doing?â Quan Yifei had been out with a friend today and only found out about Xiyaâs accident when she got back.
âSheâs alright, she gave birth to a little princess.â Jian Qing replied.
âThatâs great.â Quan Yifei smiled widely, saying, âThen Iâll go with Mingyan to visit her tomorrow, and drop off some lucky money for the baby.â
Jian Qing smiled faintly, âShe would probably be very happy to see you both.â
âI think so too, after all, Iâm well-liked by everyone.â Quan Yifei narcissistically stated.
Upon hearing that, Jian Qing couldnât help laughing.
The next day, the weather cleared up.
Looking in the distance, you could faintly see a rainbow.
In the hospital bed, Xiya slowly opened her eyes, gazed up at the pristine ceiling.
Her gaze fell on the person slouched by her bed, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Her fingertip moved slightly, and the man beside the bed woke up instantly.
Khan lifted his head, meeting her dark green eyes, his face brightened.
âXiya, youâre awake, do you feel unwell anywhere?â
His hand held hers tightly, his husky voice revealed uncontained joy.
Xiya shook her head, but as soon as she moved, she felt a pang in her stomach.
Right, her baby.
Lowering her gaze to her belly, the bulge of her pregnancy had long disappeared.
âKhan, whereâs my baby?â
Her face hardened, gripping Khanâs hand anxiously, she pressed.
âDonât panic, the baby is fine, very healthy, donât worry.â Panicking that she would hurt herself, Khan quickly reassured her, âThe baby is in the incubator, Iâll have the nurse bring it over later for you to see.â
âThe baby really is okay, youâre not lying to me?â Xiya asked again and again.
She had been pushed into the river and nearly drowned, and now she had even given birth prematurely. If anything was wrong with her baby, she would skin that Walter alive.
âThe baby really is okay. I have photos in my phone, Iâll show you.â Khan held her down to stop her from getting up and took out his phone, clicking on the album of heartwarming photos.
Xiya looked at the album, the high-resolution photo clearly showed their baby, a tiny bundle curled up, all red and rosy, it made her heart sour.
Her child.
The only blood relative she had in this world.
Her eyes reddened slightly, her voice raspy, âIs it a boy or a girl?â
âHavenât you always wanted a little princess? Now your wish came true, arenât you elated?â
âIt really is a princess?â Xiya was shocked.
She just casually mentioned it, had her dream really come true?
âYes, a girl.â Khan laughed.
âOur little princess.â
Xiya, immersed in the joy of becoming a mother, didnât notice Khanâs words and held the phone, laughing so hard that her eyes disappeared.
âWhy is she so small?â
A cold flash passed through Khanâs eyes, âThe baby was premature, thatâs why sheâs lighter, but as Bai Jue said, as long as she is well cared for, there wonât be any major problems.â
If it wasnât for Walterâs intervention, Xiya wouldnât have been in this situation and their little princess wouldnât have been born prematurely. The tiny skinny thing made his heart ache.
This was a debt he absolutely wished to settle.
âThatâs good.â As long as the baby was okay, she would make sure she grew up plump and healthy.
âBy the way, Xiya, now that the baby is born, shouldnât you inform your husband?â Khanâs gaze dropped slightly, he hinted on purpose.
Upon hearing this, Xiya froze.
Uh oh.
Now, how was she going to explain this?
âUm, letâs wait till Iâm feeling better, otherwise it might alarm the babyâs father.â she vaguely responded.
A dark shadow flashed in Khanâs eyes. Leaning closer, he questioned her word by word, âXiya, until when do you plan to keep it a secret from me that the babyâs father is right in front of you? Or are you planning to bring another man claiming to be the babyâs father, huh?â
