Chapter 589 The Child Moved

Bai Yi deliberately changed the subject, "Try this one, does it fit?"

Qiao Xing could tell that Bai Yi was hiding his feelings, but she didn't understand why.

Although Bai Yi wasn't the type to express her feelings in a very passionate way, Qiao Xing could tell that she still liked Wang Ye to some extent.

But she didn't understand why Bai Yi just wouldn't admit it.

Perhaps, as Qin Ce said, when it comes to feelings, only the people involved truly understand; no matter how much others say, it's useless.

After strolling around for half a day, Bai Yi, worried that Qiao Xing would get tired, found a restaurant for afternoon tea and ordered some desserts to tide them over.

Qiao Xing took a bite with a small spoon and found it a bit greasy.

Bai Yi asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like sweets?"

Qiao Xing nodded. "A little. I used to really like it, but now I crave spicy food more often."

Bai Yi laughed and said, "Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl, it seems Qin Ce's wish is about to come true."

"What is your wish?"

"My wish is to have a daughter."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. Even Bai Yi knew that this man liked his daughter?

Although he might have been joking, Qiao Xing still felt a little worried sometimes.

"How do you know he definitely only likes daughters? Whether it's a son or a daughter, aren't they all his children?"

Bai Yi said, "That's true, but given Qin Ce's personality, he'll definitely care more if you have a daughter. Besides, his family doesn't need to carry on the family line. Sons are mischievous, and it's rare for a son to be close to his father. If you have a daughter who looks like you, he'll love her even more."

Qiao Xing thought Bai Yi's words made a lot of sense.

The little girl they met at the mall last time seemed to like Qin Ce quite a bit.

Moreover, Qin Ce even went to hug her. Given Qin Ce's personality, it was already quite rare for him to allow himself to hug a stranger's child.

But Qiao Xing suddenly thought of something and said, "But I think Linlin really likes her cousin."

Her words stunned Bai Yi.

"I was talking about you, why are you bringing me up again?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just think it's not easy for you to meet a man who can accept children and whom the children can also accept. Don't miss out because of some concerns."

Bai Yi nodded to her. "I know, only you would say these things to me."

The two sat together and chatted for a long time, but Bai Yi had to go to Wang Ye's shop in the afternoon, so she left first.

Qiao Xing originally planned to go back to the hospital to see Grandpa Qin again, but Qin Ce told her that the doctor said Grandpa Qin could be discharged tomorrow, and told her to go straight home and not to bother going back and forth anymore.

Being able to be discharged from the hospital meant that everything was fine, so Qiao Xing was relieved and went home.

Qin Ce returned in the evening.

He was afraid Qiao Xing would worry, so as soon as he entered the door he said to her, "Grandpa is already asleep. I asked Xin Jiu to keep watch over him. If anything happens, he will call me immediately."

Qiao Xing asked him, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? How about I make you some noodles?"

"No need, I've already eaten." Qin Ce pulled her arm and made her sit down on the sofa. "Besides, didn't I tell you not to go into the kitchen anymore?"

Qiao Xing stuck out her tongue guiltily.

As her pregnancy progressed, Qin Ce worried that she might hurt herself in the kitchen, so he specifically told her that she was not allowed to enter the kitchen until after she gave birth and finished her postpartum confinement. He told her to just tell him what she wanted to eat and he would make it for her.

But she was used to it, and when she asked the question casually, she completely forgot what Qin Ce had told her.

Just as Qiao Xing was about to say something, she suddenly felt the baby in her belly move.

She was stunned for a moment. The feeling was wonderful and surprising. "The baby moved."

She seemed to be sharing something very new with Qin Ce. Although she had done fetal heart rate monitoring before, this was the first time she had truly felt the presence of the child in her belly.

Qin Ce's first reaction was to squat down and gently place his hand on Qiao Xing's stomach. As if sensing this, the baby inside her moved again.

The feeling of fetal movement not only surprised Qiao Xing, but Qin Ce also found it hard to imagine what kind of little one was inside her.

He told Qiao Xing, "Fetal movement will appear around 4-5 months. The doctor said that at this time, you can give the baby some prenatal education, such as listening to music and reading stories, which will greatly help to inspire the baby."

When he said these words in such a serious tone, Qiao Xing felt it was very unreal.

At the same time, she felt a warmth in her heart, even though she hadn't really taken the doctor's words to heart.

But Qin Ce remembered every word she said, even every single one.

Qiao Xing smiled, her eyes narrowed. "Then, starting tomorrow, shall we formally invite our CEO Qin to provide prenatal education for the child?"

When she smiled, her eyes crinkled, and Qin Ce saw it, his heart stirred.

He rose slightly, kissed her lips, and said, "Okay."

Qiao Xing blushed. Why did this person always launch these kinds of surprise attacks?

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Xing and Qin Ce exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

At this hour, who else would come?

Qin Ce stood up: "I'll go open the door."

He walked over, opened the door, and saw that standing outside was none other than Wang Qin.

She was carrying a lunchbox and had Xixi with her, standing somewhat awkwardly at the door.

Perhaps because she didn't expect Qin Ce to open the door, she sounded a little nervous when she spoke.

"Is Xingxing there? I made her something to eat, but I don't know if she'll like it..."

Hearing the sound, Qiao Xing came over. She was surprised to see Wang Qin and Xi Xi standing at the door. "Why are you here so late?"

Wang Qin carefully handed her lunchbox to Qiao Xing, saying, "You're pregnant, and I wanted to make you something to eat, but I didn't know your preferences, so I just made something random."

It's almost 10 o'clock now, and the old house is nearly 20 minutes away from here.

Qiao Xing never expected that Wang Qin had come all this way just to bring her food.

Qiao Xing felt a mix of emotions.

She said, "Come in first."

"No, no, Xixi has to go to school tomorrow, so I'll take her back first."

Wang Qin told her, "I just made these dishes, they're still hot. Try them quickly, and if you like them, I'll bring you more."

Worried that Qiao Xing would refuse Wang Qin's kindness, Xi Xi whispered to Qiao Xing, "Sister, Mom's cooking is delicious."

Seeing that she was talking more now, Qiao Xing smiled faintly at her, "Sister knows."

Wang Qin said somewhat awkwardly, "Then we'll be going now. You should all get some rest too."
