Chapter 72 The Long Road to Chasing My Wife I'm Pregnant 1
Although Chen Qixi looks weak, like a little white flower, and is usually sickly, she is extremely strong inside when facing children's problems.
Chen Rao was defenseless in front of her.
Seeing Xia Qingshu standing at the door with a confused look on her face, Chen Qixi let go of Chen Rao, adjusted her skirt, and turned back into a gentle mother.
The strong expression was instantly replaced by a gentle one, and Chen Qixi smiled softly, "Qingshu, you got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Chen Rao was frightened by her sudden change of expression and pressed himself against the wall, not daring to move.
Xia Qingshu touched his nose and said, "Mom, I heard everything you said."
Since she had heard it, Chen Qixi immediately stated: "Mom didn't mean to pry into your secrets..."
As she spoke, Chen Qixi glared at Chen Rao fiercely, "But, no matter what your decision is, Mom... our whole family respects your decision!"
The high wall in Xia Qingshu's heart shook.
Before he returned to the Xia family, he knew he was pregnant, but he didn't plan to keep the baby at the time, so he didn't alert anyone, including Xia Laoer's family.
There are two reasons why he kept silent. One is that he was afraid that his family would worry, and the other is that he was afraid that the Xia family would dislike him. Although he didn't care about recognizing his relatives at first, as they got along, he could feel the kindness and love of the Xia family towards him. He was afraid that once his pregnancy became known, his family would not understand him and would instead question his conduct.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Qixi knew about it, she didn't ask any questions and stood by him unconditionally.
Xia Qingshu whispered, "Thank you for your understanding, Mom."
Now that he has gained the approval of his family, Xia Qingshu finally has the confidence to re-examine the issue of the baby's ownership.
Three months ago, he couldn't bear to give up the little life in her belly, so he reached an agreement with Chen Rao after she solemnly promised to treat the child well.
As the pregnancy progressed, Xia Qingshu became more closely connected to his baby. He often thought about the baby's education and whether it was the right choice to hand the baby over to Chen Rao.
He increasingly felt that Chen Rao's values were problematic. Although the Chen family was wealthy and could provide the best hardware conditions for their children, he was worried that the children's mental health would be seriously affected if they grew up in such an environment.
Since he chooses to have a baby, he should be responsible for the baby. This responsibility includes not only food, clothing and living, but also the shaping of values and outlook on life, so that the baby can develop healthily both physically and mentally.
As the child's grandparents, Chen Rao and Chen Qianxing, even if they love the child, without proper guidance, the child may grow up in a wrong direction.
Not everyone can be like Brother Zhiyu, who can still keep a positive attitude and grow up so well in such a bad environment.
Besides, it is still unknown whether she is pregnant with a son or a daughter. If it is a daughter, will Chen Rao still like the baby so much?
Will you often ask your baby "Why isn't it a boy?" in front of him? Will you do something weird like changing his name? Will the baby really be happy if he grows up in the Chen family?
Thinking of this, Xia Qingshu said to Chen Rao, "Auntie, I've made up my mind. I can't give you the baby anymore."
Although his voice was small, his attitude was extremely firm.
The soft and sticky sound sounded like a loud "clang" to Chen Rao's ears, which almost dislocated her internal organs.
Chen Rao sat down on the ground, hot tears streaming down his face. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning and was living a life worse than death.
This is the beloved grandson she has been thinking about day and night. Before coming to the Xia family today, she was absolutely sure that Xia Qingshu would follow her back to the Chen family. It has not even been half a day yet, how come it has come to this situation?
Two lasagna tears streaming down my cheeks…
The Chen family has been doing good deeds all their lives, and their charity donations are always at the top of the list every year. How could they have ended up in such a situation? !
God is really jealous of the Chen family! !
It’s bad enough that Xia Qingshu doesn’t want their Zhiyu, but now even their Chen family’s beloved grandson is about to die? !
Chen Rao leaned against the wall, his face looking gloomy, and even the jewel ring on his thumb had lost its luster.
After shedding her tears, she struggled to ask, "On the Qixi Festival, I won't take Qingshu back to the Chen family. He can stay wherever he wants. Um, my dear grandson, can you..."
Chen Qixi interrupted sharply: "No! Don't even think about it!"
Even if Qingshu is pregnant with Zhiyu's child, so what? Now that the child is in Qingshu's belly, Qingshu has the final say in everything.
Realizing that he had no say in his child's education, Chen Rao hung his head and complained gloomily, "You are too overbearing... I have no right to ask, but our Zhiyu has the right to ask, and you haven't even asked my Zhiyu's opinion..."
Chen Qixi said slowly, "Are you finally starting to consider Zhiyu's thoughts now?"
"Does Zhiyu know that you secretly signed an agreement with Qingshu and pretended to be pregnant?"
"Let me see, are you still planning to let the baby call Zhiyu brother?"
Chen Rao: “…”
Needless to say, Chen Qixi and Xia Qingshu are definitely mother and son, and their ability to choke people is just like that of an aunt.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the issue of the baby's whereabouts. After Chen Rao's reminder, Xia Qingshu and Chen Qixi came to their senses. The child's other father had not yet expressed any opinion.
Chen Qixi turned and asked, "Qingshu, what does Zhiyu think?"
Xia Qingshu felt her head buzzing, "Brother Zhiyu...seems... like he doesn't know that I'm pregnant."
Chen Qixi glanced at his belly. Xia Qingshu was originally thin, and she was wearing thick winter clothes, so it was hard to tell that she was almost five months pregnant.
But after the spring, when the temperature rises and you gradually wear less, your belly will still be prominent.
Chen Qixi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about Zhiyu in that regard?"
Xia Qingshu grabbed two handfuls of hair in annoyance and said, "I don't know either."
He has been a single mother for two lifetimes, so he really doesn't understand much about love.
After Zhiyu confessed his love to him last time, he was shocked. After being shocked, he was not disgusted by Zhiyu's love for him...
He didn't understand, but felt that if he accepted Zhiyu, the baby wouldn't be born in a single-parent family...
He wasn't sure if this was love...
Chen Rao sat on the ground and hummed: "You must like our Zhiyu. Our Zhiyu is so outstanding. He is handsome, clean, and capable at work..."
Chen Qixi: "Shut up!"
Chen Rao struggled desperately: "If our Zhiyu knew about this, he would definitely fight for the custody of the baby!"
Chen Qixi walked up to Chen Rao, lifted her up, pushed her against the wall, and pushed her away with one hand, saying viciously, "You are not allowed to go back and talk nonsense in front of Zhiyu, do you hear me?! You are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the children. If you dare to say anything, I will instigate Qingshu to let your Zhiyu marry into the family! Take your Chen family's billions of assets with you!"
"Give the children some space and time, our Qingshu will say it himself!"
Chen Rao didn't expect that she would be pushed against the wall twice in a row by Chen Qixi. She said stubbornly, "Why are you so fierce!"
Chen Qixi sneered, "Then go home and clean yourself up, and wait for Zhiyu to marry into our Xia family!"
Chen Rao then trembled and said, "Okay, okay, I promise not to tell you. It's not that serious."
Zhiyu was originally averse to inheriting, having children, getting married and carrying on the family line. She was afraid that Zhiyu would really go crazy and run to the Xia family to become a son-in-law.
Then their Chen family will truly be extinct!

After Chen Qixi's reminder, Xia Qingshu began to think that he had to tell Brother Zhiyu about this matter. Moreover, after the beginning of spring, the expected date of delivery would be April. He could hide it for a while, but not forever.
Brother Zhiyu is the father of the child, he has the right to know about this.
He had asked Brother Zhiyu before, and Brother Zhiyu told him in no uncertain terms that he didn't want children. Xia Qingshu vaguely felt that if he asked again this time, he would get a different answer.
Just like before, she said she didn't like him, and then she said she liked him...
Xia Qingshu tilted his head and imagined, how could Brother Zhiyu, a person who was easily swayed and whose ideas changed at any time, grow Chen's enterprise to its current scale?
It's just very strange.
Xia Qingshu picked up the phone and called Chen Zhiyu.
~
Chen Zhiyu was in a meeting. When he saw the incoming call, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
There is no better time to call, so just pick the time when he is in a meeting.
You miss him!
This was the first time Qingshu took the initiative to call him.
He is a little nervous.
In the conference room on the twelfth floor of the Chen Group Business Center, Chen Zhiyu picked up his mobile phone and accidentally pressed the "red" reject button.
Chen Zhiyu: “…”
The CEO who is in charge of a multinational listed group worth hundreds of billions and is in charge of all strategic plans would actually lose his composure because of a phone call.
He calmed his mind and told Secretary Li calmly, "The meeting is adjourned."
The discussion items did not produce any results and the participants were confused, but the president’s words were firm and the crowd dispersed immediately.
Secretary Li was left alone.
Chen Zhiyu opened the recent calls section on his phone, picked out the "missed call from Xia Qingshu", and handed it to Secretary Li, boasting in his words, "Secretary Li, when do you think I should call back?"
Secretary Li: "......" Confused.jpg
What big thing did he encounter as a boss? Why did the decision-making meeting for a multi-billion-dollar cross-border merger and acquisition case suddenly come to a halt just because he received a phone call? !
Secretary Li kept complaining in his heart, but smiled and said, "It will only take five minutes."
Chen Zhiyu's face was full of doubt: "Five minutes, isn't it too long? What if Qingshu can't wait?"
Secretary Li took a deep breath and said, "Then you can go back now."
Chen Zhiyu glanced at him intently, "Isn't it too soon to go back now?"
Secretary Li: “…”
"...As you wish."
Chen Zhiyu looked Secretary Li up and down with a sharp look: "Secretary Li, are you trying to fool me?"
Secretary Li quickly explained, "No, no, boss, I think three minutes is the best. One minute later is too late, and one minute earlier seems too aggressive. This is how I pursued my wife before."
That's about right.
Chen Zhiyu sat in the president's chair, concentrating and holding his breath, and asked with the momentum of dealing with a project worth hundreds of millions of yuan, "Secretary Li, do you think Qingshu misses me?"
Secretary Li: "...It should be..."
Chen Zhiyu's eyes narrowed.
Secretary Li: "Of course, Xia missed you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have called you earlier or later, but during working hours when you were in a meeting."
Chen Zhiyu was finally satisfied. He waved his hand to let Secretary Li leave and called Xia Qingshu.
Chen Zhiyu said in a gentle tone: "Qingshu, I'm sorry, I was in a meeting just now. Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xia Qingshu said in a serious tone: "Brother Zhiyu, I have something important to tell you. It's not easy to tell you over the phone. I'll find a time to tell you in person."
Chen Zhiyu: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhiyu thought to himself, Qingshu is finally going to agree to me!
