Several days had passed since the wedding, and Qin Huaizhu had moved into the Wangquan family. Wangquan Baye's parents couldn't say much. On the surface, they still treated her politely.
During these days of marriage, Qin Huaizhu had been dutiful. She cooked, did the laundry, and did all the housework without showing the slightest impatience. Wangquan Baye's parents saw all this and couldn't find fault with her.
However, the fact that their destined daughter - in - law didn't become one, and instead, their son had married this woman of unknown origin, was always a thorn in Wangquan Baye's mother's heart.
"Humph." After breakfast, Lady Wangquan watched Qin Huaizhu busy washing dishes in the kitchen and let out a soft snort.
"Come and sit down." Her lips were tightly pursed, and her legs unconsciously crossed. This was undoubtedly an aggressive posture.
"Mom?" Qin Huaizhu finished washing the bowl in her hand, picked up the rag beside her to wipe her hands, and then turned to look at her mother - in - law sitting leisurely on the sofa. She knew her mother - in - law didn't treat her well, but what could she do?
"What do you want to talk to me about, Mom?" Although Qin Huaizhu was doing housework, her natural beauty and elegance were hard to hide.
Lady Wangquan suddenly seemed to understand why Wangquan Baye was so infatuated with her: "Sit down. I just want to have a chat with you."
"You've been in our Wangquan family for so many days. I just realized that I don't really know much about you, my daughter - in - law." Lady Wangquan squinted and smiled.
"It's my fault that I haven't had a good talk with you these days, Mom. It's not strange that you don't know much about me." Qin Huaizhu maintained the filial piety and gentleness that a good daughter - in - law should have.
"How did you meet our Baye, Huaizhu?" Lady Wangquan stroked Qin Huaizhu's hand with a smiling face, trying to get closer to her.
Qin Huaizhu knew what Lady Wangquan was thinking, but she showed no sign on her face. She silently accepted this kindness and a smile bloomed on her lips.
When mentioning Wangquan Baye, a blush involuntarily crept onto Qin Huaizhu's face. This man was her love, for a very long time...
Qin Huaizhu was a bit lost in thought, her mind wandering far away. She shook her head and said gently and kindly, "It's nothing special. Baye and I fell in love at first sight. It's like a predestined fate from our past lives. It's really wonderful."
"Hehe." Lady Wangquan covered her mouth and giggled softly. Of course, there was a fate. Otherwise, how could she have married into the Wangquan family.
"Yeah." Qin Huaizhu smiled and shyly lowered her head, "Maybe it's just a predestined fate."
"Ding - dong, ding - dong."
Just as they were talking, the doorbell rang clearly.
"Auntie, it's me, Yunyun." Liu Xiayun's voice came from outside the door.
Lady Wangquan quickly got up and walked to the door to open it for her, "Yunyun is here."
"Oh, Auntie, why did you come to open the door yourself? Come on, sit down quickly."
"It's okay. Do you think I'm that old?" Lady Wangquan gently patted Liu Xiayun's back of the hand, showing no sign of anger.
"Auntie is still so young!"
"Ah, Huaizhu is here too. Congratulations!"
Qin Huaizhu smiled slightly, showing kindness.
"Yunyun, Auntie suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll go out first."
"Bang." Lady Wangquan quickly went out.
Liu Xiayun tossed her hair. Her expression was completely different from the kindness just now, "You've finally got what you wanted. It's not a waste of all the scheming you put into marrying into the Wangquan family."
"Don't think that once you marry into the Wangquan family, everything will be fine. You're still far from it."
Qin Huaizhu raised her eyebrows and ignored her veiled remarks.
In the following days, Qin Huaizhu always felt nauseous and often vomited. Wangquan Baye saw this and felt heart - ache looking at her pale face, "I'll take you to the hospital. It's not a good thing to keep vomiting like this."
"Okay."
The two of them got ready and rushed to the hospital. Everything went smoothly.
"Miss, you're pregnant. The vomiting is due to morning sickness." The doctor was a woman in her late forties, with rich experience. She had been working in this hospital for more than thirty years.
"Pregnant? Really? Doctor, that's great."
"You must be more careful. Don't hurt the fetus." The doctor was used to seeing such joy. The surprised look on this seemingly mature and steady man also surprised her a little.
Wangquan Baye was extremely excited and happy, but he supported Qin Huaizhu carefully, afraid of touching her.
"It's okay, Baye. The pregnancy is still in the early stage. It's fine." Qin Huaizhu saw the childish and careful actions of the man beside her and felt sweet in her heart. She smiled helplessly.
"No, it's not okay! From today on, do less housework. Let the nanny at home do it!" Wangquan Baye was extremely reluctant. This was their first child, and it was precious.
"This is our first child." Wangquan Baye stroked Qin Huaizhu's belly, with a happy smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wangquan Baye's face was full of happy and sweet smiles, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. He hoped that nothing would go wrong with this first child...
"Be extremely careful, you know?" Wangquan Baye said seriously, trying to suppress his uneasiness.
"Got it. Don't worry." Qin Huaizhu saw the worry on his face that he couldn't hide and comforted him softly.
Qin Huaizhu pinched Wangquan Baye's face and let out a "puff" laugh. Seeing the man's forced sternness collapse and replaced by a helpless and doting look, their moods both lightened up a lot.
"You." Wangquan Baye doted on her and tapped the tip of Qin Huaizhu's nose. His wife was childish, but what could he do? He could only spoil her.
When they walked out of the hospital and the bright sunlight shone on their faces, Qin Huaizhu seemed to sense something. A black shadow flashed in front of her eyes. Soon, she could only see that the fox was covered in dark fur that glowed, and its figure was extremely fast.
But how could there be a fox here? Qin Huaizhu frowned, unable to figure it out.
As if sensing something, Wangquan Baye turned his head. Sure enough, he saw the puzzled look on the person beside him.
"What's wrong, Huaizhu? Are you feeling unwell?" Wangquan Baye asked considerately.
"No, maybe I was seeing things." Qin Huaizhu dispelled her doubts and smiled indifferently.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Okay. Let's go home."
The two of them drove back home together. They parked the car in front of the house, and Wangquan Baye supported Qin Huaizhu into the house. They saw his parents sitting on the sofa.
A bright smile bloomed on Wangquan Baye's face. He couldn't wait to share this good news with his parents, "Dad, Mom, Huaizhu is pregnant!"
His clear voice echoed in the hall. Wangquan Baye's father smiled, looking kind. He should be truly happy for the two of them.
Qin Huaizhu saw the uncontrollable joy on the man beside her and also smiled. This was their first child.
