Chapter 495 What do I need money for?
Qiao Xing rolled her eyes, then suddenly walked to Wang Ye's side and asked with a grin, "What if she really runs away?"
Wang Ye paused, turned to stare at Qiao Xing, his eyes filled with shock, "She didn't really run away, did she?"
"Huh? No, I was just making a assumption, I didn't say she really ran away."
Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that scared me to death. I thought you knew she had run away."
"Yeah, I was just hypothetical. What if she runs away?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Doesn't she still have a house? I have the key. If she runs away, I'll move into her house and take over her place!"
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, looked at him with an expression of admiration for a brilliant mind, and gave him a thumbs up. "Impressive, so aren't you worried at all?"
"What do I have to worry about?" Wang Ye said nonchalantly, continuing to flip the barbecue.
It was clear he wasn't worried at all. Bai Yi's house and son were with him, so what did he have to worry about? Qiao Xing felt that what she had just asked was pure nonsense.
"Alright, I'm off then."
"You're leaving already? Sit down for a bit, I'll grill you a couple of chicken wings."
Qiao Xing waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I've already eaten, I can't eat now, I'll be going now."
She was afraid Wang Ye would force her to eat two chicken legs, so she left after saying that.
Qiao Xing got into the car parked by the roadside. Wang Ye glanced at it casually and remarked, "These days, everyone has a chauffeur-driven car to pick them up and drop them off."
Qiao Xing didn't hear him and got into the car and went back.
Qin Ce called her halfway there to ask where she was, probably because he hadn't seen her when he got back.
"I just dropped Linlin off at my cousin's place, I'll be home soon." Qiao Xing remembered that she hadn't cooked today, so she asked, "What are you having for dinner? I'll buy some groceries on my way home."
"No need to buy anymore, I've already cooked. Come back soon."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat embarrassed. She felt bad that he had to come home and cook every day after work.
After arriving home, Qiao Xing went to the dining room and saw that the meal was ready. Qin Ce was just bringing out the last dish.
Qiao Xing also quickly went into the kitchen to help get the bowls and chopsticks.
"Grandpa probably hasn't eaten yet, should we go and call him?"
Qin Ce filled a bowl with rice for her and handed it to her, saying, "I already called him, and he's already eaten."
"ah……"
"It's okay, we'll cook at his place tomorrow, we'll just eat by ourselves today."
Qiao Xing nodded. They had agreed that he would take care of him, but now he was buying a big house and leaving the old man there by himself. It didn't feel quite right.
Qiao Xing said, "You're so busy every day, so don't cook. I just went out for a little while today. Next time, let me know what time you'll be back in advance."
Qin Ce immediately rejected her suggestion, saying, "Don't do these things."
"Then what should I do?"
"Make whatever you like, I'll cook, otherwise I won't feel comfortable with that."
Qiao Xing looked at him strangely, "What are you worried about?"
"The first three months are the danger period, so you can't eat just anything. By the way, when should I go for a checkup?"
"..." Qiao Xing stared straight at him, feeling like he knew more than she did.
To be honest, she doesn't feel anything right now, and if no one reminds her, she always forgets that she's pregnant.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qin Ce looked up at her again.
Qiao Xing touched his nose. "Oh, the checkup? I forgot about that too."
"Then let's go again tomorrow."
"ah……"
Qin Ce did not continue to discuss it with her, seemingly having already made the decision for her.
Qiao Xing sighed. There was nothing she could do but listen to him and do as he said.
After dinner, before 10 o'clock, Qin Ce urged her to go to sleep because she needed to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup the next day.
Qiao Xing couldn't sleep at this hour, tossing and turning beside him. After a few times, Qin Ce held her still with his hand.
"Don't move around, go to sleep."
Qiao Xing stared at the dark ceiling and sighed helplessly.
Although she lay down in bed around 9 o'clock, she stayed awake until after 11 o'clock before finally drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, Qin Ce woke her up for breakfast, saying he wanted to take her to the hospital.
Qiao Xing followed behind him like a puppet on a string, only feeling alive again when they went out.
Do I need to make an appointment in advance for the check-up?
"It's arranged."
"oh."
I can't believe I should question his ability to act; damn it.
Qin Ce didn't take her to a public hospital, but a private maternity and children's hospital. Qiao Xing seemed to have heard of this place before. It was quite expensive, and they also offered a one-stop service. One of their postpartum care centers was also under their umbrella.
Qiao Xing searched for this postpartum care center out of boredom and exited the search after seeing that it cost 250,000 yuan a month.
Anyway, it's not a place for ordinary people.
Before getting out of the car, Qiao Xing asked hesitantly, "Are we really going to this hospital? I heard it's very expensive and it seems like it's not reimbursable."
Qin Ce paused for a moment, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Qiao Xing seemed to read his eyes and explained, "I know you're not short of money, but we should save where we can..."
Under Qin Ce's gaze, her voice grew softer and softer.
Qin Ce said, "If that's the case, then everything is saved, so what's the point of me making money?"
This question stumped Qiao Xing.
"Or what is the purpose of most people in this world going to work and earning money?"
"this……"
Isn't it all for a better life?
Qiao Xing nodded. "I understand. Let's go find the best doctor, the most expensive doctor here!"
Qin Ce couldn't help but chuckle, then pushed open the car door and got out.
Qiao Xing quickly caught up, and he put his arm around Qiao Xing's shoulder, "Slow down."
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not even nervous. I'm not that fragile."
"Then be careful."
"Okay, okay."
Qin Ce took her hand, took out his phone to check the appointment information, and led her to the fifth floor in the elevator.
The hospital was very quiet, with hardly anyone in the lobby, unlike the crowded hospitals I'd visited before. The upper floors were even quieter, making Qiao Xing wonder how the hospital could stay in business at all.
While Qiao Xing was lost in thought, Qin Ce had already arrived at a consultation room. He knocked on the door and went inside.
Inside sat a female doctor in her forties. Upon seeing the two enter, she immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Qin and Ms. Qiao, are you?"
Qin Ce nodded slightly. "Yes."
The doctor gestured for the patient to sit down.
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised. The doctor's attitude was unexpectedly good, and his voice was very gentle, which made Qiao Xing less nervous.
She glanced at the doctor's name tag on his chest; his surname was Lu, and he was a professor.
"Did you bring the previous examination reports?"
Qiao Xing shook his head quickly.
"It's okay, let's go get checked again first, it won't take much time."
"OK."
The doctor gave her a test order on the computer and told her to do a routine check-up first.
