Feng Jingcheng had been working overtime at the company for the past few days. Although he had achieved great success in the music industry, he had been exposed to business since childhood.
Thinking that Qiao Xi was in a bad mood recently, he quickly arranged his work and went back early to accompany her.
He even bought some fruits and groceries on purpose, looking forward to having dinner with her that evening. Thanks to Lu Luochen's help, the company was in a much better state than before.
When Qiao Xi returned home from the coffee shop, Feng Jingcheng was busy in the kitchen. He rarely cooked.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he glanced over. "You're back."
Qiao Xi let out a soft "mm" sound. "Why are you here today?" She really hadn't expected to see Feng Jingcheng there.
"I came to check on you. How have you been these days?" Feng Jingcheng asked while keeping an eye on the dishes in his hand.
"Not bad." Qiao Xi said as she walked towards the kitchen. She actually wanted to ask about their marriage. Anyway, they should make a decision, whether to get married or not.
Seeing Qiao Xi approaching, Feng Jingcheng immediately stopped her. "Go and sit down and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
Qiao Xi nodded. Fine, let him do it. Consider it his way of making up for her.
Feng Jingcheng didn't know how to cook many dishes. They were all home - cooked meals. After he finished cooking, he served them on the table.
Qiao Xi ate a little. After some thought, she decided it was necessary to talk to him.
"What's your family's attitude towards our marriage?" Qiao Xi asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Feng Jingcheng's hand that was picking up food paused. "We will definitely get married, but now is not the right time." He still didn't plan to tell her about the company's situation. Besides, she was pregnant. If she knew, she would surely worry.
Qiao Xi put down her chopsticks directly. She was in a really bad mood. "But I'm already pregnant. If we keep delaying, my belly will get bigger. It'll be really inconvenient to get married then." She paused, lowering her eyes. "Of course, if you don't want to marry me, I won't force you. But don't worry. I'll give birth to this child."
Feng Jingcheng knew Qiao Xi had misunderstood him. "Xixi, you know that's not what I mean. I will definitely marry you." As he said this, he reached out to hold Qiao Xi's hand.
Qiao Xi dodged directly. She stood up, her eyes full of disappointment in Feng Jingcheng.
"Xixi, I..."
Qiao Xi gave him a cold look. "Look, you don't even know what to say now."
After saying that, Qiao Xi got up and left. Feng Jingcheng also stood up. "Where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Don't follow me." Qiao Xi said directly.
Feng Jingcheng didn't listen to her at all. "It's so late. Where are you going?"
Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks. "If you still want this child, don't follow me."
Her words made Feng Jingcheng stop in his tracks. "Then be careful."
Qiao Xi thought Feng Jingcheng would keep insisting on following her, but unexpectedly he stopped. She felt even more disappointed. She slammed the door and left, leaving Feng Jingcheng alone there.
Feng Jingcheng watched Qiao Xi leave. Helplessly, he squatted down.
Qiao Xi took the car keys and left. She drove out. She had nowhere else to go. While waiting at a red light, she called Wen Sining.
"Hey, Ningning. I had a fight with Feng Jingcheng."
Wen Sining guessed it might be about the marriage. Lu Luochen had told her, but didn't say the specific reason.
She didn't ask further. If it were something else, Qiao Xi would surely say. But this time, the reason might be really hard to say.
"Where are you now?"
"I drove out. I don't know where to go yet." Qiao Xi said weakly.
"Then come to my place. Lu Luochen went back to the Lu Family Mansion today." Wen Sining said.
"Okay. I'll come now." Qiao Xi said. At that moment, she was suddenly grateful that she had Wen Sining. Otherwise, she really didn't know where to go.
Then they hung up the phone. On the road, Feng Jingcheng's words at the dinner table kept echoing in her ears. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Is the baby okay? This was the first thought that popped into her mind.
She couldn't stop the car on the road. Qiao Xi kept an eye on the road ahead while taking deep breaths, trying to relieve the pain.
She looked at the navigation and searched for the nearest hospital.
It was only five kilometers away, not too far. She drove there and called Wen Sining again.
As soon as Wen Sining answered the phone, Qiao Xi said, "Ningning, I feel a pain in my abdomen. I'm going to XX Hospital first."
Wen Sining, who had just sat down, immediately stood up. "I'll go there now too." She said as she picked up the car keys that were lying on the table.
"Okay."
They hung up the phone. Qiao Xi silently prayed that her baby would be okay. If something happened to the baby, she really didn't know what to do.
Thinking of this, she had an urge to call Feng Jingcheng, but she held it back.
In this state of unease, she drove the car to the hospital.
At this time, only the emergency department was open. After she went in, she said to a nurse who was coming towards her, "I'm pregnant and my abdomen hurts."
"Come with me quickly."
The nurse immediately took Qiao Xi to have a B - ultrasound. After some other examinations, she was arranged into a ward. Wen Sining also rushed to the hospital. By the time she arrived, Qiao Xi had already been placed in the ward.
"Doctor, how is she now?" Wen Sining was really worried about Qiao Xi.
"The patient has stirred up her fetal qi." The doctor frowned. "She's pregnant. She should try to control her emotions. She can't get angry. It's very bad for the fetus. If this happens again, the baby may not be saved."
Wen Sining nodded repeatedly. At the same time, she cursed Feng Jingcheng in her heart. If it weren't for him, Qiao Xi wouldn't have suffered so much.
After talking to the doctor, she went into the ward to check on Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi's hand was still hanging with an IV drip, presumably for stabilizing the fetus.
"Xixi, you really scared me to death."
Qiao Xi, lying on the hospital bed, shook her head. "I'm okay now."
Wen Sining still felt upset. "I'll go and teach Feng Jingcheng a lesson right away. He knows you're pregnant and still makes you so angry."
