Chapter 583 Are you envious?
After Wang Ye said that, Bai Yi's unease gradually lessened.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't renege on my debt."
Her smile made Wang Ye's heart inexplicably flutter again. He quickly looked away and said to Bai Yi, "Let's go quickly, don't keep Qiao Xing and the others waiting."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce were already there.
Qiao Xing and Bai Yi hadn't seen each other for a while, and he couldn't help but be happy to see her. "Bai Yi, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see," Bai Yi replied with a smile. Just as she was about to hug Qiao Xing, she paused, her gaze lingering on Qiao Xing's stomach. "What's going on with you?"
Her belly was already slightly protruding, which was obvious to a normal person, let alone a woman like Bai Yi who had raised children.
Qiao Xing didn't intend to hide it from Bai Yi. She touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant, almost four months along."
Bai Yi's eyes widened in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me about something so important! How's the baby? Is he healthy? And what about you? Have you been going for your checkups on time?"
Bai Yi asked several questions in a row, and Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, everything's fine."
Bai Yi then turned to look at Wang Ye, "You too, she didn't tell me, so why did you keep it from me as well?"
Wang Ye scratched his head. "I only found out a few days ago. I heard it's not good to tell others when you're pregnant in the first three months, and I was so busy that I forgot about it."
Actually, Wang Ye didn't know at first. Later, Qiao Xing came to the store twice and kept vomiting while eating. He also noticed her stomach. Although he had little experience in this area, he could tell that Qiao Xing was pregnant.
Qiao Xing said, "Alright, don't stand, sit down first."
Bai Yi then remembered to greet Qin Ce, "President Qin, it's been a long time."
Qin Ce said, "We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."
Bai Yi smiled and said, "Okay."
After the four of them sat down, Bai Yi took the menu and ordered food.
She specifically ordered some dishes suitable for pregnant women and reminded her what she could and couldn't eat during pregnancy. She especially emphasized the importance of being careful not to overindulge in seafood and spicy, stimulating foods.
Qiao Xing felt a little embarrassed seeing how concerned she was about him. "Bai Yi, you've finally come back, so please order more of your favorite dishes. You really don't need to be so polite."
After ordering, Bai Yi handed the menu to the waiter, then turned to Qiao Xing and said, "You don't understand. Pregnant women are the most precious. Besides, you're eating for two now. Even for the sake of the baby in your belly, you should eat more."
Qiao Xing said, "Thank you."
Bai Yi said, "Why are you thanking me? It's a good thing you're pregnant. I'll offer you a glass of juice instead of wine."
"good."
Seeing this, Wang Ye and Qin Ce also picked up their cups, and the four of them gently clinked them together.
Qin Ce naturally served food to Qiao Xing, who seemed used to it and turned to chat with Bai Yi.
How long are you planning to stay this time? Or are you not planning to go back at all?
"About half a month. Things over there aren't finished yet. I'm just taking some time to come back and see Linlin. I can't stay there for too long, otherwise they'll slack off if no one is watching over them."
Qiao Xing glanced at Wang Ye and said half-jokingly, "It's a good thing you came back, otherwise my cousin would be absent-minded all day long. You don't know, during the time you were gone, he took better and better care of Linlin."
Bai Yi also looked at Wang Ye and said sincerely, "Yes, I am very grateful to him for helping me take care of Linlin. Without him, I probably wouldn't be able to work with peace of mind."
Wang Ye felt a little embarrassed by their stares, and his ears turned red.
He waved his hand dismissively and said, "I'm married to you now, so it's only natural for me to take care of your child. You don't need to be so polite with me."
Qiao Xing deliberately asked him, "Is it that simple?"
Wang Ye said, "Yeah, what else could it be? If she doesn't work hard, how will she pay me back?"
Qiao Xing sighed helplessly to himself.
Wang Ye's emotional intelligence is, as always, questionable.
Bai Yi didn't seem to understand the meaning behind Qiao Xing's words. She smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I still owe him money. Only if he takes good care of Linlin for me can I pay off the debt as soon as possible."
Qiao Xing wanted to ask what would happen after the money was paid off? Would she then take Linlin with her?
But before she could say that, Qin Ce placed some food in front of her and said, "You eat first."
The others chatted about Bai Yi's project at the dinner table, and Wang Ye also talked about the store's renovation.
Qin Ce spoke the least; he served food to Qiao Xing and occasionally chimed in with a few words.
Before we knew it, the meal had taken more than two hours.
After they finished, the group came out of the restaurant, and Qin Ce asked, "Do you need me to take you home?"
Wang Ye said, "No need, it's not far, we can just take a taxi back. Don't bother you. It's getting late, you should take your cousin back and get some sleep."
Bai Yi also said, "Yes, her health is very precious right now. She must rest on time, otherwise she won't be able to rest properly when she's further along in her pregnancy."
Qin Ce didn't insist, "Okay."
He reached out and pulled Qiao Xing's coat up a little tighter. Qiao Xing said to the two of them, "Then we'll head back first."
Wang Ye said, "Drive slowly and be careful on the road."
Watching Qin Ce's car drive away, Wang Ye suddenly sighed, "My cousin has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I've only just realized that Qin Ce is not only rich, but also a very perfect man. No wonder my cousin likes him and chose to marry him."
Seeing the two of them so loving and sweet, Wang Ye couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Bai Yi saw through his thoughts and asked, "Are you envious?"
"Are you envious of Qin Ce? Who in the entire city of Chongqing doesn't envy him? Not only is he rich, but he also comes from an excellent family, is handsome, can cook, and is caring. How many men like him can you find in the entire city of Chongqing?"
Unable to hail a taxi, the two walked slowly along the roadside. Bai Yi said, "I didn't ask if you envied Qin Ce. I asked if you were envious because you saw how good Qin Ce was to Qiao Xing?"
Wang Ye felt a little embarrassed by the question. He was indeed envious. He was a man too, and of course he hoped that he and his partner could be like Qin Ce and Qiao Xing.
But his current wife is Bai Yi, and their relationship is like this. He admits he's envious, which means he's saying Bai Yi isn't good.
What if she follows up on him and tells him to find someone else?
