Chapter 1068 Your expectations are too high

Qiao Xing was still looking forward to making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala with Grandpa Qin and the others, but now that he lives here, he can't do anything.

Qin Ce led her to sit down on the bed, bent down to take off her shoes, and said, "I know you're bored, but the situation is special right now. It'll only last a few days, so just bear with it. After you give birth, I'll take you on a trip."

Qiao Xing exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Where are we going?"

Qin Ce said, "It's a secret. I won't tell you for now."

Qin Ce had planned the trip with Qiao Xing well in advance.

After Qiao Xing gave birth, they left the baby with a postpartum nanny.

He took Qiao Xing on a nice trip to relax.

Seeing that Qin Ce was unwilling to tell her, Qiao Xing could only pout and say, "Fine."

She took it as a surprise Qin Ce had prepared for her.

Qiao Xing originally thought that she would be bored in the hospital, but Qin Ce spent almost every day with her.

Bai Yi, knowing that she had been admitted to the hospital in advance, also came to see her several times.

Every time she came, Wang Ye would naturally come along.

Ever since Bai Yi became pregnant, Wang Ye has followed her everywhere, afraid that she might bump into something.

Despite Bai Yi telling him many times that she was no longer a child and that she could take good care of herself even if she was pregnant.

But Wang Ye was still worried; he kept in mind what the doctor had told him.

It is said that the third month of pregnancy is the most unstable time for the baby, so extra care must be taken during this period to prevent any accidents from happening.

So for some time now, Wang Ye has been staying away from the store.

Bai Yi and Qiao Xing were both very distressed when they talked about this.

"The store has been busy lately, and I've told him several times to go and keep an eye on things, but he just won't listen. I don't know what to say to him anymore."

While Bai Yi and Qiao Xing were complaining, Wang Ye was sitting next to them.

Instead of feeling he had done anything wrong, he argued logically, "So what? My wife is pregnant, so it's only natural for me to take care of her."

Bai Yijing didn't know what to say to him.

Before the hot pot restaurant opened, he used to talk all the time about making a lot of money and opening hot pot restaurants all over Chongqing.

Now that the store is finally making money and his goals are slowly being achieved, he's stopped focusing on that.

Qiao Xing said to Bai Yi, "Your cousin is just concerned about you. He's being so responsible; you should be happy."

He was certainly happy, but once Wang Ye got serious, he wouldn't listen to anything anyone said.

Bai Yi sometimes felt that he was exaggerating too much.

Those who knew her thought she was pregnant with a child, while those who didn't might have thought she was carrying a gold ingot, which is why Wang Ye was so careful.

Qiao Xing could understand Bai Yi's feelings very well, because when she was pregnant, Qin Ce was also very careful in everything he did.

No matter what he does, he has to double-check everything. Even when it comes to food and other necessities, he has to carefully consider whether they will affect Qiao Xing.

Wang Ye asked Qiao Xing, "Cousin, have you decided on a name for your child?"

Qiao Xing nodded and said, "I've thought about it for a long time. My nickname is Er'er, and my formal name is Qin Nian'an."

Wang Ye muttered the two names to himself, "They sound nice, did you come up with them?"

"My nickname was chosen by Qin Ce and me, but my formal name was decided by my grandfather."

"That's really good."

After praising Qiao Xing, Wang Ye couldn't help but say with a troubled expression, "I've been thinking about naming my child for the past two days, but I still can't figure out what name would be good."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi turned to look at him and said, "I'm not even two months pregnant yet. Isn't it too early for you to pick a name now?"

And since they don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, how are they supposed to name it?

Wang Ye said, "It's not too early. These things should be decided as early as possible, otherwise it will be too late to think about a name after the baby is born."

Qiao Xing said, "But you don't even know if it's a boy or a girl."

"That's fine, just prepare two names."

Bai Yi glanced at him speechlessly.

Wang Ye doesn't think it's too early to choose a name now; on the contrary, he's quite conflicted about what name he should choose.

He searched online for many names with auspicious meanings.

But after staying up all night, I found that those names with good meanings, when paired with his surname, either didn't sound good or were difficult to pronounce.

He searched for nearly a hundred names, but none of them were suitable.

"That's because you're asking too much!" Bai Yi said. "It's just a name."

Wang Ye retorted, "How can this be considered demanding? Naming may seem like a small matter, but it concerns a child's entire life. Several of my classmates have been given nicknames with homophones because of their names. I don't want my child to be laughed at by classmates and friends because of their name in the future."

Bai Yi glanced at him. "Have you thought it through?"

"No."

"..."

Bai Yi and Wang Ye chatted with Qiao Xing for a long time, until they had to make a phone call at the store before they left.

Qin Ce made Four Happiness Meatballs at home for Qiao Xing because he was worried about the hygiene of the ones sold outside.

After Bai Yi and Wang Ye left, Qiao Xing noticed that Qin Ce hadn't returned yet, so she called him.

"Why did it take so long?"

Qin Ce's tone was questioning, "I've only been back for less than half an hour, is that a long time?"

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the time, and then realized that only half an hour had passed since Qin Ce left the hospital and arrived home.

But why did she have this feeling that she hadn't seen Qin Ce for a long time?

Qiao Xing smiled awkwardly and said to Qin Ce, "I just really wanted to eat it, so I was in a hurry."

Qin Ce said indulgently, "It'll be soon. You won't go hungry, don't worry."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Um."

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, satisfied.

I chatted with Bai Yi and the others for quite a while, and now I'm feeling a bit sleepy.

Qiao Xing put down her phone, thinking she would take a nap.

Qiao Xing fell asleep quickly. During her sleep, she had a dream, which was blurry and chaotic.

She didn't know what she was experiencing in her dream, but she clearly felt that it was a very bad dream.

Even after she woke up, Qiao Xing still felt a lingering sense of fear.

Qiao Xing originally thought that Qin Ce would be back when she woke up.

But when I checked the time, I realized I had only slept for less than ten minutes.

She turned her head and saw a nurse standing at the head of the bed.

She had her head down and was wearing a mask, so Qiao Xing couldn't see her face.

It wasn't until the nurse turned her head and looked at Qiao Xing that Qiao Xing recognized her the moment their eyes met.

She was actually Qin Fei!
