"I think it's better to explain things to Aunt Zhang than to tell Grandpa," Xi Quan said after a moment of silence, explaining his thoughts to Ye Qing.
When a husband and wife live together, they should discuss things together, but sometimes they also need to be fair.
Perhaps neither of them was thinking about the issue of fairness at this moment, but it was very necessary.
Xi Quan felt that since they were all family, even though he could understand Ye Qing's complicated feelings for Zhang Sao, it was still better to make things clear. He couldn't let Zhang Sao remain confused and feel guilty just because he was afraid of upsetting his grandfather again.
Xi Quan felt that this was too biased.
More importantly, judging from Ye Qing's words, he was thinking of trying to forgive Zhang Sao, which is why he was thinking of "testing her will" since the most important thing in the end was to forgive her.
So, Zhang Sao would be Xi Quan's mother-in-law from now on. From this perspective, Xi Quan felt that he couldn't just agree to Ye Qing's suggestion. He had to let Zhang Sao know the truth.
However, Ye Qing seemed to disagree with what Xi Quan said. She glanced at Xi Quan calmly and then asked, "Didn't you think about what would happen if Aunt Zhang accidentally let it slip again after we told her?"
Xi Quan hadn't really thought of that. Ye Qing's question made him subconsciously stunned, and he almost didn't see the red light ahead.
After the car stopped, remembering the sudden braking, he looked anxiously at Ye Qing: "Are you alright?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "It's nothing."
There's nothing wrong, but the baby in my belly seemed to move suddenly and seemed very restless, as if someone had disturbed its peace while it was sleeping.
Ye Qing subconsciously pulled Xi Quan's hand and placed it on her protruding belly.
Xi Quan didn't understand what Ye Qing meant at first, and he was still thinking about the topic he had just discussed with Ye Qing, which was whether or not to tell Aunt Zhang what was going on.
However, the moment his hand was pulled by Ye Qing and touched Ye Qing's stomach, Xi Quan seemed to be shocked by the sensation coming from his palm.
Even through the clothes, it was clear that the child was kicking Ye Qing's stomach as if banging on drums.
Seeing Xi Quan looking as if someone had acupunctured him, both cautious and shocked to the point of not knowing how to express his true feelings, Ye Qing smiled slightly. At this moment, this scene felt so beautiful.
It wasn't until the honking of the horn behind him that Xi Quan came to his senses. He was excited and wanted to feel the baby's movements again, but the honking of the horn behind him was annoying.
Xi Quan glanced back, feeling both helpless and annoyed, and continued walking forward. But after passing the traffic light, he looked around, found a spot on the side of the road where he could park, and stopped the car.
Then, she looked at Ye Qing excitedly, rubbing her hands together, trying to feel the fetal movement again.
Ye Qing had just asked Xi Quan to feel the fetal movement because she wanted to tell him that she was fine, that it was just a sudden stop, and that she wasn't really that fragile.
The moment Xi Quan parked the car here, Ye Qing was still wondering what was going on. She turned her head to look at Xi Quan, but before she could ask, she saw Xi Quan rubbing his hands together, eager to feel the baby's movements again. Ye Qing's mood became complicated once more.
During her pregnancy, Xi Quan stayed by her side the whole time, but because of the two hospitalizations, they were more worried about the baby and whether it could be saved.
During her second hospitalization, she was already feeling fetal movement, but at that time, because she knew about her background, along with Huang Fei's news and Zhang Sao's series of actions, the two of them were focused on these messy things.
Therefore, neither Ye Qing nor Xi Quan had any unusual emotions because of the fetal movement. Of course, Ye Qing was careful because when she was hospitalized, the doctor would ask her every day during rounds if the fetal movement was normal.
However, because there were too many upsetting things every day, and this was Ye Qing's second pregnancy, the feeling of happiness from feeling the baby move was somewhat different from the excitement of her first pregnancy. So Ye Qing forgot to talk to Xi Quan about what it felt like to feel the baby move as parents.
Although Xi Quan was not a first-time father, he had no prior experience and therefore did not intend to experience these things.
I suddenly felt this way, and the excitement, anticipation, and blissful exhilaration unexpectedly evolved.
So Ye Qing took Xi Quan's hand again and placed it on her belly, letting him feel the fetal movement once more.
However, Xi Quan, who was full of curiosity and excitement, gradually froze when he touched Ye Qing's bulging belly. Then he slowly raised his head to look at Ye Qing: "What happened?"
Xi Quan's disappointed look was heartbreaking. Ye Qing had high hopes for this child because she wanted Xi Quan to experience the excitement, anticipation, and anxiety of becoming a father.
However, the reality is that his original intention has not been achieved. Since becoming pregnant, he has been to the hospital twice, and Xi Quan, who is about to become a father again, seems to feel nothing but anxiety.
So Ye Qing held her belly with both hands and swayed it a few times.
Seeing Ye Qing's excitement, Xi Quan stared at her, speechless, "You..."
I'm so shocked, Xi Quan really doesn't know how to describe his feelings!
He was even a little angry. How could they do that?!
However, fearing that Ye Qing would be unhappy, Xi Quan hid his anger very well, leaving only his astonished expression.
Ye Qing herself didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. When doing ultrasound examinations at the hospital, doctors would also shake the device like this in order to see every part of the fetus clearly. Because of the angle, the fetus might be lying face down in the womb, so some parts wouldn't be visible.
Seeing Xi Quan's shocked expression, Ye Qing realized that Xi Quan was unaware of his usual behavior, which had startled him.
Just as she was about to explain, it seemed that shaking her belly earlier had worked, and the sleeping fetus seemed to be getting restless again. So Ye Qing didn't bother to explain too much to Xi Quan and once again took Xi Quan's hand and placed it on her high, protruding belly.
Xi Quan was still a little surprised, but when he felt that shocking throbbing in his palm again, he couldn't care less about blaming Ye Qing.
"The baby... has the baby been kicking so hard in your belly all this time?" Xi Quan stammered. After asking, he seemed to realize that using the word "kick" was not quite appropriate. However, although he felt it was inappropriate and he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, he didn't think it was bad. He still looked at Ye Qing expectantly, hoping to get some information about the baby.
