Chapter 496 Are you waiting for another woman to spend your money?
Checkups are the most troublesome thing, but she didn't bring her previous test results, so she had to have a blood test and an ultrasound.
These private hospitals are really fast; after the examination, I only waited ten minutes for the results to come out.
The doctor reviewed the test results and smiled, "Ms. Qiao, you are only one month pregnant, so you can't do other tests yet. However, your progesterone and HCG levels are quite normal. Have you been taking folic acid regularly?"
Qiao Xing shook her head like a chick chasing after rice, "No."
"You need to take folic acid, I'll prescribe some for you to take home later."
"good."
The doctor quickly wrote out a prescription for her and told her to come back for another check-up on the 10th of next month. That was all.
From the moment he arrived at the hospital until he left, the entire process took less than an hour. Qin Ce even had time to go back and hold a morning meeting.
Xing Jiu was waiting outside at some point. Qin Ce told her, "Let Xing Jiu take you home. I'm going to the company first."
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
Qin Ce nodded, turned around, and got into his car.
After watching him walk away, Qiao Xing got into Xing Jiu's car. Xing Jiu asked, "Where are you going, Miss Qiao?"
"Let's go back." Qiao Xing had nowhere to go, but after walking for a while, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't practiced driving for many days, so she quickly took out her phone to make an appointment.
It's better to get your driver's license now, so you don't have to put it off for a long time later.
When she got home, she took the computer to the first-floor apartment to do some work. The old man had arranged to play chess with someone in the living room. Qiao Xing didn't know him, so she greeted him and went about her own business.
The old man was quite casual about staying here; he just found a room for himself. The house was still cold and unfurnished.
Qiao Xing felt that it looked too deserted and that it would be better to buy some furniture to decorate it.
The old man was too busy with work to care about these things, and Qin Ce was too busy with work to care about these things either. So Qiao Xing went online to see how to match outfits, and there were many example pictures online.
With seven rooms and appliances, it will cost quite a bit of money.
Buying online is too much trouble, and she wanted to go to the store to see if anyone could accompany her. She sat on the sofa and sighed, going through the options in her mind, but it seemed she couldn't find a suitable person to go furniture shopping with her.
Should I ask Xing Jiu to accompany me?
Qiao Xing blinked and thought it was feasible, so she called Xing Jiu over and asked him to accompany her to the furniture store.
Xing Jiu naturally had no objection; she told him where she wanted to go, and he drove her there.
"Come in with me, don't wait here."
"Oh, okay."
Qiao Xing walked in. The furniture store was huge, with five floors in total, each floor selling furniture, which dazzled her.
"Qiao Xing?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was Lin Shuang calling him.
"Lin Shuang, what are you doing here?"
"I've come to look at furniture. Are you here to buy furniture too?" Lin Shuang walked over with a smile. Qiao Xing looked behind her and saw that she was alone.
"Yes, did you come alone?"
Lin Shuang sighed, "Zhang Zhe and I came. Don't even mention it. Lazy people need to pee and poop. I went to the toilet."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "I thought you came alone. I remember you were getting married. Is the house already furnished?"
"I bought a pre-furnished apartment, but I still have to buy the furniture myself. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came out to take a look and choose the furniture."
Qiao Xing nodded. She had just said she didn't have a companion, but now she did.
Lin Shuang also invited her to go shopping together, and Qiao Xing readily agreed. The two of them wanted to buy similar things, so Qiao Xing could also take a look at what Lin Shuang had bought.
"By the way, Qiao Xing, why did you suddenly buy furniture and move to a new house?"
Qiao Xing nodded, "Yes, it was just changed."
"What kind of house? A big villa?"
"No, it's just an ordinary house, not a big villa."
Lin Shuang said "Oh," and took her arm, saying, "I thought you moved to a villa. Is it because your husband won't buy one? I think with his means, buying a villa would be a piece of cake."
Qiao Xing explained, "Because the villa area is too far away, it's not convenient to go to work."
Lin Shuang felt a pang of regret upon hearing her words.
It turns out it wasn't that I didn't want to buy it, it was just inconvenient.
I don't know what got into me, but I just wanted to hear about the unpleasant things between Qiao Xing and Qin Ce.
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
Qiao Xing didn't think much of it, just treating it as a normal chat after not seeing each other for a long time.
Lin Shuang pulled her to look at a bed, "This bed is nice."
Qiao Xing also thought the design was nice, but when she saw the price tag, it was 18,000 yuan.
"Too expensive."
"This is expensive?" Lin Shuang didn't understand her thinking at all. "Is it because your husband won't pay?"
"I think it's too expensive."
"Now I have to say something to you. Your husband is so rich, what's this little bit of money to him? If you're not going to spend it, what are you saving it for? Are you waiting for another woman to spend it for you?"
"No way?"
"How could that not be the case? You need to change your mindset. Don't just focus on the present. If you give him this image of being thrifty and hardworking now, he'll think you've changed if you spend a little more money in the long run."
Qiao Xing frowned, unable to refute.
"You're right, how about we buy this bed together?"
After saying this, Lin Shuang's expression became a little unnatural, but since she had already said it, it would be very embarrassing to refuse.
"How about we take another look? I think there are other nice beds."
"What's wrong? Does Zhang Zhe not like this style?"
Lin Shuang couldn't keep a straight face, and she said with an awkward smile, "I chose all the furniture, he doesn't know anything about it. What I mean is, let's look at a few more stores and compare them."
"Oh, then you can put one style in each room, right? You bought two houses, so you'll need to buy quite a few beds, won't you?"
"Yeah..." Lin Shuang thought to herself, it was because of the two houses that she needed to buy so much furniture, so the budget was not very generous.
Eighteen thousand is the budget for four beds. If she buys this one bed, Zhang Zhe will start nagging and arguing again when they get back.
What Qiao Xing didn't know was that ever since the two decided to get married, they would argue almost every time money was involved, and they even broke up several times.
However, perhaps due to the numerous arguments, Zhang Zhe's patience has noticeably diminished. After their last breakup, he didn't contact her for a whole week.
Finally, when her friend told her that she saw Zhang Zhe having dinner with a woman, Lin Shuang couldn't help herself and took the initiative to go find him.
The woman was new to Zhang Zhe's department. She had just graduated from university and was young and beautiful. Lin Shuang then realized that Zhang Zhe had many choices, but she didn't have a better one.
Her sense of crisis immediately kicked in. Lin Shuang had already toned it down a lot. If it were before, she would have bought that bed for 18,000 yuan without batting an eye.
Seeing her preoccupied look, Qiao Xing knew without guessing that they must have had a fight, so he stopped talking about the bed.
However, the two hadn't walked far when they saw Zhang Zhe, who had originally gone to the restroom, talking to a woman.
