Chapter 109 Announcing the Good News

The news came suddenly, and Xie Yuduo was still worried. He ordered people to invite three or five top doctors to check the patient several times.

Every doctor who takes the baby's pulse says that if the fetus is in good condition and the mother is healthy, the baby will be safe.

The couple finally felt relieved and were very happy.

Next, the news should be announced to the families of both parties.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi felt a little worried.

"If Big Sister and Yujing ask me how old the baby is, what should I say? It's over three months old before I realized I was pregnant. If anyone knows, it would be ridiculous. Otherwise, let's just say... the baby is only two months old. Anyway... it's not really noticeable right now."

Xie Yuduo smiled and shook his head.

"Even though it's not obvious now, it will be noticeable as the month gets older, especially Big Sister. It'll be a natural progression in the future, and if it doesn't happen on the right day, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous? It's better to say that we both knew about it a long time ago, but because we were busy moving, we were afraid that the baby would be unstable and cause everyone to worry, so I kept you quiet."

Chen Qi thought about it, knowing that he was used to taking the blame, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

After lunch, Yu Jing found out about this. She was very happy to know that her sister-in-law was pregnant, but she didn't ask anything.

Yu Zhong only found out the next day, and she came over specifically to give Xie Yuduo a good scolding.

When they first moved, she accompanied Chen Qi to walk around the garden for a long time, and saw her directing the servants to move things and boxes. Now she knew that she got up early and went to bed late because of her health, and she was really scared.

"Such a big thing, and you still ask to hide it, you really don't care about your wife!"

Xie Yuduo took the scolding with a smile and didn't refute a word.

Chen Qi just laughed secretly behind his back.

When they wrote letters to the Xie and Shen families in Pingshan County to announce the good news, their words were even more vague. They only said that they found out they were pregnant as soon as they arrived in the provincial capital, and only told everyone now that the pregnancy was stable.

When Chen Qi told Meng Qinghui this, it became impossible to hide it.

"oh?"

She raised her eyebrows.

"That day, you tried desperately to stop me from jumping the rope, saying it was inconvenient for pregnant women. You then did several backward jumps for me to watch. Why can't I jump when I'm pregnant? You can jump when you're pregnant?"

Chen Qi was already feeling guilty, and her face turned even redder after hearing this, and she soon saw through the clue.

"Have you...never known this?"

“…”

Finally unable to hide it anymore, Meng Qinghui chuckled.

"It's been four months, and you two just found out?"

Chen Qi argued that the baby in her belly was only three months old!

It's really not her fault.

First, the two of them always calculated according to the date, until they stopped having their period in May and June, then they became more unrestrained. At the beginning of September, there was some spotting again, and Chen Qi thought it was her period, and everything was back to normal.

Secondly, there were no elders living with them in their new home in the provincial capital, and the experienced older sister was busy at home and didn't come often. Chen Qi's figure was not very noticeable to begin with, and her late autumn clothes were thick and complicated, so even Meng Shi didn't notice.

Furthermore, when Chen Qi saw her sister-in-law Qiao vomiting after eating even when she was already quite pregnant, and even when Sun was pregnant, she vomited all day, she assumed that pregnancy was always obvious.

Although she herself had felt some discomfort before, the number of times was not many and the duration was short.

At the end of July, I had a poor appetite at home and thought it was heatstroke. At the beginning of September, I vomited on the way to the provincial capital and thought it was just the bumpy road.

If you really think about it, this is really Xie Yuduo's fault.

At that time, Chen Qi vomited twice on the side of the road, and he seemed very experienced.

"People have different physiques. Some can conquer it, while others will be like you. It's a common occurrence on the road."

If you don’t blame him, who else can you blame!

This joke made Meng laugh for several days until Chen Qi threatened that she would never let anyone open the door for her again.

Chen Qi had a good excuse and stopped going out to banquets. Meng Qinghui's house was just across the street, and the two of them spent the whole day together talking and chatting, and their relationship became better and better.

From then on, Xie Yuduo only visited his study in the early morning hours, to entertain guests, discuss matters, and handle various business matters. At lunchtime, he returned to the backyard with a thick stack of documents. After dining with Chen Qi, he would sit at the small desk east of the bedroom, reviewing and approving each one. If there was anything urgent, Xiaowu would come to him for advice.

In his spare time, Xie Yuduo would play chess, take walks, and chat with Chen Qi to relieve her boredom. He would also write while looking at the jade mirror and help with household affairs.

Chen Qi enjoyed it very much and enjoyed it.

Only Meng Qinghui was unhappy.

Because Xie Yuduo would come back eventually, she could no longer spend all day at Shen Qi's place.

Every noon, she was forced to say goodbye and go home, spending a long and boring afternoon in the Wen family mansion.

Xie Yuduo lamented this.

"Luckily she's a girl. If she were born a boy, with such a noble family background, and had been so persistent in clinging to you, I would have had to resort to some cunning tactics if I wanted to marry you!"

Meng Qinghui also had many grievances.

"I saw your husband was able to buy a house and open a shop on Kangle Street, and I thought he was going to do great things. I didn't expect him to spend all day hanging around his wife. It's really...disgraceful!"

Chen Qi was caught in the middle and couldn't help but hold her forehead and smile bitterly.

Once, Meng was having a great time chatting and got up a little late. Chen Qi had just sent her out of the ceremonial gate of the backyard when she unexpectedly ran into Xie Yuduo who had returned to the backyard on time to look for his wife.

Meng Qinghui was a person of good character. She had heard of the great name of Chen Qi's husband for a long time. Seeing that there was no maid sent by her mother to watch her, she not only did not hide or cover herself, but also held her waist and looked her up and down in a very critical manner.

At last, she chuckled.

"This is Mr. Xie, the man who is lucky enough to marry Chen Qi?"

Xie Yuduo was not polite either. He stood with his hands behind his back and followed suit.

"Is this the Madam Meng who always wanted to abduct my wife?"

Chen Qi watched the two people confront each other from the side, and she almost couldn't stop laughing. She first pushed Xie Yuduo back to the backyard, then pushed him away and took the opportunity to pull her hand, and then walked over to accompany Meng Qinghui to the carriage.

Before getting on the car, Meng quietly leaned over and whispered in Shen Qi's ear.

"He's good-looking, no wonder he can marry a woman like you."

Chen Qi smiled and scolded her.

"Bah, I heard that your Master Wen is a famous handsome man."

Meng Qinghui sighed softly: "It's beautiful..."

To be honest, Meng had never seen a husband as clingy and rogue as Xie Yuduo.

From childhood to adulthood, all the men she met - her father, brothers, brothers-in-law, and even her husband - were extremely prudent gentlemen.

Not to mention holding his wife's hand in front of outsiders and maids, even getting close to her and whispering to her was rare.

She had been married for five years and was proud of her beauty, but her husband, who was known for his good looks, had never had the same lingering look that Xie Yuduo had for Shen Qi.

"She is beautiful, but she only has a beautiful appearance."
