Chapter 991 An Argument Occurs

Qiao Xing was different; throughout her pregnancy, she only craved a few specific foods.

There were times when I craved sweets, times when I craved spicy food, and times when I didn't want to eat anything at all; my appetite became very poor.

Qin Ce had been worried that the food prepared by the housekeeper might not suit her taste, and he had even considered asking her to be replaced, but Qiao Xing stopped him.

Qiao Xing herself didn't know what was wrong with her. Anyway, ever since she got pregnant, she didn't seem to crave anything, but she always wanted to eat something.

Once, while scrolling through videos, she came across a video of a popular online influencer recommending boneless chicken feet with a spicy and sour flavor, and she suddenly had a strong craving for them.

Qin Ce went to buy it without saying a word. Because it was a popular online store, there were a lot of people queuing up. Qin Ce queued for more than an hour to buy it.

But after he bought it, Qiao Xing felt he had no appetite to eat it.

And she reacted very strongly, saying that the chicken feet smelled fishy.

If it weren't for understanding Qiao Xing's temperament and knowing that she was pregnant and emotionally unstable, it would be difficult to understand her.

Qin Ce should have suspected back then that she might have done it on purpose.

Qin Ce had always kept Qiao Xing's weight in mind, because during his previous prenatal checkup, the doctor had told him that pregnant women must control their weight.

Being too fat can lead to difficulties during childbirth, while being too thin can make it difficult for the child to remember.

So when Qin Ce noticed that Qiao Xing was getting thinner and thinner, he tried to get her to eat more.

But Qiao Xing would only eat a little each time, or say he was full and would eat later, and then he would just forget about it.

Qiao Xing felt incredibly guilty after Qin Ce's words. She tugged at Qin Ce's arm and said weakly, "Don't worry, I'll eat well when I get back and regain my weight. I won't let the baby be malnourished."

Qin Ce said helplessly, "I'm not worried about the child, I'm worried about you."

The doctor had warned long ago that because the baby in the womb will continuously absorb the mother's nutrients, it is necessary to pay special attention to the pregnant woman's diet and supplement her with vitamins appropriately during the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy.

However, during that period, Qiao Xing kept going to the company, and when she came back she would just sleep. She didn't eat well, and she didn't get much nutrition.

Later, she was constantly busy with company matters, sometimes even staying up all night. How could she not lose weight?

Qin Ce's words made Qiao Xing feel even more guilty.

She admitted that after she became pregnant, she did neglect the baby in her womb, as well as herself.

The child belongs to both of them, and she's not a child anymore. How can we keep making Qin Ce worry about her?

"Don't worry, there are still two months until my due date. In these two months, I will definitely eat well, sleep well, and not let anything affect my mindset. I will definitely give birth to the baby safely."

Qin Ce sighed inwardly and reached out to rub her head.

"I just can't do anything with you."

As the two walked and talked, they were about to leave the hospital when Qiao Xing suddenly remembered something.

She hesitated and said to Qin Ce, "Should we go see Qin Fei?"

Qin Ce replied almost without thinking, "No need, you'll see it sometime."

They had originally planned to visit Grandpa Qin, but he was already resting at that time. If they went now, he would worry if he knew that Qiao Xing was not feeling well.

Qiao Xing figured that since they were already here, and they didn't know how Qin Fei was doing, it would be better to go and check on her.

However, Qin Ce did not intend to go, so Qiao Xing gave up, and the two went straight back after leaving the hospital.

At this moment, Qin Fei was out of danger after being rescued and bandaged by the doctors.

However, she was still unconscious, and the doctor specifically instructed her family to wait outside so as not to disturb her rest.

Looking at Qin Fei lying on the hospital bed through the transparent glass, Wang Yu burst into tears.

Qin Liang frowned and scolded Wang Yu with dissatisfaction, "You're still crying? How many times have I told you not to spoil them? She dared to do this today because she has someone backing her up and is fearless at home. This is all because you spoiled her!"

Her daughter had just escaped death, and then her husband started criticizing her.

In this situation, no matter what the cause was, no woman could tolerate it.

Even Wang Yu, who is usually gentle and virtuous in front of Qin Liang, could not control her emotions at this moment.

"What kind of time is this to say such things!" Wang Yu choked up as she accused, "You know Fei Fei's personality perfectly well, yet you still pressure her like this. Are you a competent father?"

"What have I pressured her about? From childhood to adulthood, what has she ever wanted that I haven't agreed to? As the eldest daughter of the Qin family, look at the things she does every day; she's almost completely disgraced the Qin family! What else do you want me to do?"

This was the first time the two had argued about their child.

Wang Yu had been suppressing a lot of dissatisfaction for some time, and now it all exploded.

"So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Qin family? Isn't she your daughter? Isn't she a piece of my flesh and blood? She's our own daughter! How can you say such a thing? Don't you have any conscience as a father?"

People were coming and going in the corridor, and everyone's attention was focused on the two of them.

Out of pride, Qin Liang didn't want to argue with Wang Yu anymore. "The doctor has already said she's fine. You stay here and take good care of her. I'm going back now."

"Qin Liang!" Wang Yu was trembling with anger. She rushed over and questioned Qin Liang, "Tell me the truth, did you treat Fei Fei like this on purpose? You just want me to think you're favoring Qin Ce, don't you?"

Qin Liang frowned and said, "What nonsense are you thinking now!"

"I'm not thinking anything! Qin Liang, in the years I've been married to you, I've never done anything wrong to you or to the Qin brothers, Qin Yi and Qin Ce. You should be able to see that I haven't done anything to betray your family. I can understand that Qin Ce doesn't like me, but Qin Liang, why are you doing this? What are you thinking?"

Wang Yu's questioning left Qin Liang speechless.

His silence chilled Wang Yu to the bone.

Tears streamed down her face silently, her voice trembling, "Qin Liang, what have I done to wrong you that you would use me to take revenge on your own son!"

She pointed at Qin Fei in the ward, "Open your eyes and look! That's your daughter! She has your blood flowing in her veins! If she doesn't make it today, have you thought about what you'll do? How could you do such a thing!"

Qin Liang remained silent for a long while.

He neither admitted it nor defended himself.
