Chapter 1078 Crying is useless
Qin Ce tried his best to express his love for his daughter.
Qiao Xing knew that he was that kind of person; although he didn't show it very obviously, he always prioritized action over everything else.
He's not good at expressing himself, so he usually just does things directly.
So Qiao Xing just said it casually and didn't think much of it.
She joked with Qin Ce, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, with your temper, if you don't get along well with the child now, you two will have even less in common when she grows up. Don't tell me then that the child isn't close to you."
Qin Ce was not good at taking care of children.
In addition, he doesn't like to express himself much. If the child is still young, it's not a big deal, but as he grows up and becomes more thoughtful, he will feel that his father must have some reason for not liking to be with him.
Qin Ce looked intently at his daughter lying in the crib, pondering Qiao Xing's words.
He felt that Qiao Xing made sense. If the child really didn't get close to him when he grew up, he definitely wouldn't listen to what he said.
It's fine for ordinary things, but if it's something big, like making new friends, falling in love, or getting married and having children...
If he doesn't feel involved, how can that work?
Er'er is his daughter, and also his and Qiao Xing's only child.
He would never let her suffer any injustice, nor would he allow anyone with ulterior motives to get close to her.
Qin Ce felt that if he wanted to prevent all of this from happening, he really needed to cultivate a better relationship with his daughter.
Qiao Xing spent the whole morning with the child until she was taken to the nursery before she could finally take a nap.
After waking up, the nurse took her to an afternoon tea restaurant specially prepared for new mothers.
Qiao Xing looked at the beautifully decorated tea restaurant and was surprised.
This was the first time she had ever heard of a postpartum care center like this.
This is no different from those high-end tea restaurants outside, and the environment is even better than those outside.
The nurse told Qiao Xing that the purpose of the postpartum care center was to allow new mothers to get better rest after giving birth.
However, many new mothers, even after arriving at a postpartum care center, are unwilling to rest properly, are reluctant to entrust their babies to them, and are always restless.
This is why postpartum care centers specifically control the time that new mothers and babies spend together.
Because they don't want mothers to focus their attention on their children all the time.
Over time, mothers may become anxious and uneasy without realizing it. Sometimes, they may even hear the slightest sound and think it is their baby crying.
This tea restaurant is specially prepared for mothers, allowing them to relax here for an hour or two every day.
They can chat and have heart-to-heart talks here, temporarily putting aside everything about their children.
No need to worry about breastfeeding, no need to worry about the baby being upset, and no need to be anxious.
Qiao Xing thought the nurse's words made a lot of sense.
She recalled her first day there, when she had nightmares and even auditory hallucinations, always feeling like the baby was crying.
If Qin Ce hadn't been there to comfort her, she felt she might have become anxious or depressed.
The nurse brought the snacks to Qiao Xing. Just as Qiao Xing was about to sit down, she noticed that among the many new mothers, one person stood out from the crowd.
Upon closer inspection, Qiao Xing realized that this seemed to be the woman who had been scolded by her mother-in-law in the baby's room earlier.
Everyone else sat in groups of two or three, or four or five, but she sat alone.
Qiao Xing noticed that she seemed dazed, with empty eyes, and looked to be in very poor condition.
Qiao Xing walked over, sat down next to her, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman seemed startled by Qiao Xing's sudden appearance, and her body trembled.
Qiao Xing quickly said, "Don't be afraid, I just noticed you didn't look well and wanted to ask you something."
The woman gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little too nervous..."
Qiao Xing noticed that the snacks and tea on her table hadn't been touched at all, and she was certain that the woman had something on her mind.
Is it something to do at home?
The woman shook her head. "No..."
The woman seemed hesitant to speak, so Qiao Xing didn't press her. Instead, he comforted her, "If you can't say it, then don't say it."
She pushed the pastries towards the woman and said, "When you're in a bad mood, eat more sweets, and it will cheer you up."
The woman looked at the pastries, paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't like these..."
Although she said she didn't like it, her expression didn't lie.
Qiao Xing suddenly remembered what the woman's mother-in-law had said to her earlier, and she asked, "Is it that you don't like to eat it, or that you're afraid to eat it?"
The woman seemed to have her secret exposed; she bit her lip and lowered her head.
“My husband says that eating sweets makes you gain weight... When I was pregnant, my weight kept going up. I thought it would stop after I gave birth, but it didn't change at all. My husband says it's because I eat too many sweets..."
Qiao Xing found her words utterly absurd.
"Gaining weight during pregnancy is perfectly normal. What does it have to do with whether you eat sweets or not? It's just weight, it's not like you can't lose it. Saying this is obviously just to make you feel inferior."
Tears streamed down the woman's face. "But I'm pregnant. My body has definitely changed, and I can tell my husband doesn't love me the same way he used to..."
Before having children, she loved sweets.
When they were dating, her husband would always buy her small cakes and desserts because she loved sweets.
Sometimes when she eats too much and gains a little weight, her husband often comforts her when she complains.
What he said at the time was exactly the same as what Qiao Xing said.
But now he not only complains about her out-of-shape figure, but also blames it all on her.
Qiao Xing grew angrier as she listened, probably because her emotions were more prone to fluctuation after giving birth.
She said to the woman, "Of course he'll look down on you. After all, he's not the one who gave birth, and he's not the one who suffered during pregnancy. He can't understand anything, so naturally he'll feel that your current state has nothing to do with him."
Qiao Xing finally understood why the woman's mother-in-law had said those things to her in front of everyone.
If my husband is such a bad person, how good can my mother-in-law be?
Seeing the woman cry made Qiao Xing feel bad too.
She said to the woman, "Don't cry, it's no use crying. He won't care about you. What you need to do now is to make yourself better slowly, not for them, but for the child you risked your life to give birth to. Think about it carefully."
