Xu Xiaoyue was afraid of delaying Ye Qing's prenatal checkup, but at this moment she didn't want to pretend to be strong or be alone. At this moment, Xu Xiaoyue really wanted someone to be with her, even if they didn't say anything, just sitting quietly would be better than being alone.
So after hearing Ye Qing say that she wasn't in a hurry, Xu Xiaoyue stopped pretending and told Ye Qing to leave first.
Empathy is easy to say, but it's not as simple as it seems. So Ye Qing knew that Xu Xiaoyue must be feeling bad right now, but she probably really couldn't imagine how Xiaoyue felt when her mother-in-law was making a scene in the examination room.
It's even more incomprehensible how determined Xu Xiaoyue is about whether to get a divorce at this moment, or how conflicted she is deep down even though she says she is determined.
Because he couldn't fully empathize with Xiaoyue, Ye Qing didn't know how to properly comfort her at this moment.
However, because Ye Qing had experienced despair herself, she knew that while others' comfort was not useless at this time, if it didn't hit the mark, it could make people even more pessimistic and miserable.
Ye Qing didn't want Xu Xiaoyue to remain in such a bad mood. Although she didn't know how to comfort her, she at least wanted to talk about something she cared about to distract her.
After a long silence, Ye Qing asked, "How was the baby's checkup today? What did the doctor say?"
Finally, Xu Xiaoyue's numb expression softened slightly. She unconsciously placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and a faint light appeared in her eyes: "The doctor said it's okay. It seems to be developing well so far, and according to the current test results, it's better than the average fetus. It should inherit my height, right?"
Xu Xiaoyue is a runway model, so she is naturally quite tall.
Looking at Xiaoyue's profile, even though it was just her profile, Ye Qing could tell that her mood seemed to have improved. So Ye Qing continued the conversation about children, "We can arrange a marriage between our children now. It would be best if we both had a boy and a girl."
"What era are we living in? Still talking about arranged marriages? Ye Qing, this idea of yours is unacceptable. Children should be allowed to date freely," Xu Xiaoyue teased with a smile.
It was obvious to the naked eye that Xu Xiaoyue's mood was getting better and better because of the baby. Ye Qing knew that she had hit the nail on the head. Thinking back to when she was alone abroad, she was pregnant and had to go to school and work to earn money. When she had a little free time, Ye Qing didn't dare to think about the future and felt desperate. But as long as she thought of the baby in her belly, she felt that nothing was insurmountable.
Thinking back to how she felt then, Ye Qing figured Xu Xiaoyue was probably feeling the same way now, so she continued on the topic of children: "I didn't say they couldn't have the freedom to date. Besides, it wouldn't be bad if our family were to become in-laws. Xi Quan is very rich, so they can avoid struggling for many years."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at Ye Qing and said, "But you have a lot of kids. What if they start fighting over money?"
"They dare!" Ye Qing immediately became very serious.
Xu Xiaoyue smiled, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Actually, if I were to have a daughter, I might really consider it..."
What was supposed to be a lighthearted, joking conversation turned sour when Ye Qing heard Xu Xiaoyue's words. She knew something was wrong, and just as she was about to stop Xu Xiaoyue from continuing, Xu Xiaoyue finished her sentence: "If I have a daughter who marries into your family, at least I won't have to worry about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships, or that you'll make things difficult for my daughter."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing's mood also became heavy.
Because Ye Qing herself is pregnant and already has a daughter, she is a little uneasy about the future relationship between her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
She even hoped that the baby in her belly was a boy.
Although the child is still young and thinking about these things is a bit too far ahead, looking at Xiaoyue's appearance, Ye Qing also felt a sense of panic and worry, as if she had been bitten by a snake.
But Ye Qing also knew that he couldn't let things continue like this. Xu Xiaoyue's mood was already not good, and he had come to comfort her.
Just as Ye Qing was thinking of changing the subject to something lighter, she saw Liu Yuliang peering into the car from outside, clearly looking for Xu Xiaoyue.
And Xu Xiaoyue saw it too.
Ye Qing hesitated whether to roll down the car window and call out to Liu Yuliang so that he would know which car she and Xu Xiaoyue were in. Just as Ye Qing had this idea, before she could do anything, Xu Xiaoyue grabbed her arm.
Ye Qing instinctively glanced at Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but her movements made it seem like she was bending over to hide herself from Liu Yuliang.
Ye Qing could understand Xu Xiaoyue's actions. She paused for a moment, wondering if she should also try to avoid it. However, because she was quite far along in her pregnancy, her belly was much larger than Xu Xiaoyue's, which was not yet showing. Bending over was extremely difficult.
However, leaning against Xu Xiaoyue was fine, but before Ye Qing could get close, someone knocked on the car window.
Ye Qing turned slightly to the side, looking at Liu Yuliang standing outside the car. She gave an awkward twitch of her lips, then looked at Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue instinctively reached for the car door to leave, but this time Ye Qing stopped her.
Ye Qing knew that Xu Xiaoyue didn't want to face Liu Yuliang at this moment, but Ye Qing also knew that if Xu Xiaoyue left like this, it would be worrying. So Ye Qing got out of the car and let Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue have a good talk.
The car belonged to Xi Quan, and the car keys were still hanging in front of the car. Ye Qing thought that Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue wouldn't just leave like that.
Ye Qing decided to leave them here to watch the car for the time being. She planned to leave with Xu Xiaoyue after she finished her inspection, as she was worried about leaving Xu Xiaoyue alone at this moment.
Once Ye Qing left, Liu Yuliang had no more worries. He quickly got into the car, locked the central locking system, removed the key, and said to Xu Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, let's talk."
"What do you want to talk about?" Seeing that she couldn't leave and that Liu Yuliang's mother wasn't there, Xu Xiaoyue stopped avoiding Liu Yuliang.
Liu Yuliang also deeply resented his mother's attitude, but she was still his mother after all, and sometimes making a so-called decision is not so easy. So he said he would talk, but when he heard Xu Xiaoyue's question, Liu Yuliang was stunned for a moment.
After a long pause, Liu Yuliang finally said, "Actually, I don't care whether the child is a boy or a girl."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyue suddenly looked at Liu Yuliang: "Now the question is, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
