Chapter 742 Each with their own thoughts
Wang Yu glanced at him speechlessly, then smiled and said to Qin Yi, "Don't worry about your dad. I'll have them prepare dinner now, and cook some of your favorite dishes."
Qin Yi hummed in agreement and went upstairs to put down what he was carrying.
Wang Yu instructed the servants on what to prepare, and she bustled in and out of the kitchen, appearing exceptionally busy.
But only she knew that she was doing all this on purpose to show Qin Liang.
Qiao Xing's pregnancy was completely unexpected for her; she never imagined that Qin Ce and Qiao Xing would have a child so soon.
If the previous deterioration in the relationship between Qin Liang and Qin Ce was merely a superficial phenomenon...
This child will definitely make Qin Liang completely change his attitude towards Qin Ce.
And Qin Ce might forgive Qin Liang.
In fact, after what happened last time, Wang Yu had already figured out that Qin Liang was seemingly targeting Qin Ce.
But his purpose in doing so was more to make Qin Ce submit and acknowledge him as his father.
Qin Liang never disliked this son from beginning to end.
It's just that because of his identity as a father, he can't bow his head in many things.
Therefore, when Wang Yu learned that Qiao Xing was pregnant, she tried to cover up her inner panic by keeping busy.
Qin Liang was unaware of Wang Yu's thoughts.
His first thought was, why would Qin Ce come to the Qin family at this time?
Although the two of them had a disagreement last time, it's all in the past now.
Qin Ce had already put him in an awkward position regarding this matter, so he wouldn't keep harping on it, nor would he stoop to doing such a thing.
In Qin Liang's memory, Qin Ce always returned to the Qin family under duress, and each time it ended in a very unpleasant situation.
On this point, he shared Qiao Xing's opinion, believing that Qin Ce would absolutely not come to the Qin family unless absolutely necessary.
His arrival without warning, especially with Qiao Xing, who was pregnant, was highly unusual.
Qin Liang and Wang Yu each had their own thoughts, and both were preoccupied with their own worries.
But no one knew that Qin Ce came to the Qin family solely because of Qin Yi, without any other reason or intention.
If there has to be one, it's probably just wanting to take Qiao Xing out for a walk to clear her head.
It's that simple.
Meanwhile, Qin Yi, who was on the second floor, was unaware of Qin Liang and Wang Yu's thoughts.
He hummed a little tune happily and placed the gifts he had bought for his future nephew or niece on the bed in Qin Ce's room, intending to give Qiao Xing a surprise.
As evening fell, Qin Ce's car stopped in front of the Qin family's house.
Qin Ce got out of the car first and opened the door for Qiao Xing, who was sitting in the back. After Qiao Xing got out of the car, he went to the trunk and took out the things Qiao Xing had bought.
This is what Qiao Xing wanted to buy on the way here.
Qin Ce initially felt it was unnecessary, because he believed that the Qin family did not deserve the gift given by Qiao Xing.
But Qiao Xing wanted to buy it for Qin Yi, and since he had already bought it for Qin Yi, the two elders naturally couldn't refuse to buy it for him.
Qiao Xing didn't actually like Qin Liang either, but no matter what kind of person Qin Liang was, they were still family in name only, so they had to maintain appearances.
Otherwise, even if we disregard others, the servants of the Qin family would find it laughable.
Qin Yi ran out quickly.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
He was visibly excited to see the two people he hadn't seen in a long time, and first hugged Qin Ce tightly.
Then, under Qin Ce's extremely disgusted expression, she released him and greeted Qiao Xing with a smile, "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
Qiao Xing also smiled and said, "Long time no see, Xiao Yi."
"Don't stand outside, come in and talk."
Wang Yu's voice rang out from behind.
Qin Ce remained cold-faced as always and did not greet anyone.
But Qiao Xing couldn't do what she did. She could only force a smile and say to Wang Yu, "Aunt Wang."
Wang Yu walked over with a big smile and took Qiao Xing's hand. "When Xiao Yi came back, he said that you and Xiao Ce would come. I didn't believe it."
She looked at Qiao Xing's belly and said, "You two are really something, not telling us about your pregnancies. You must be more than five months along, right?"
Qiao Xing maintained her smile and nodded, "Yeah, more or less."
She held Qiao Xing's hand affectionately, "How is the baby? Have you been having your check-ups on time? You look so thin, you obviously haven't been eating properly. This is your first pregnancy, you really need to be careful."
She patiently asked Qiao Xing a whole host of questions.
Since becoming pregnant, apart from Wang Qin, who knew about her pregnancy at the beginning, and who gave her these words of advice, the only other person who said this was Wang Yu.
At this moment, she resembled a mother who cared deeply for her daughter.
But Qiao Xing felt very uncomfortable with this "mother-in-law's" concern for her.
Wang Yu held Qiao Xing's hand as they walked inside.
Qin Yi watched the two figures walk away and asked, "Brother, do you think my sister-in-law would be even happier if it were Mom who said those things?"
Qin Ce didn't say anything, but walked straight inside.
Qin Yi sighed inwardly.
Whenever he thought of his mother, he always felt that Wang Yu was out of place in the family.
Qin Liang was already seated at the dining table.
Qiao Xing was wondering whether she should greet Qin Liang, but just as she was hesitating, Qin Ce took her hand and gestured for her to sit down.
The meaning is already quite clear.
Qiao Xing stopped worrying and sat down next to Qin Ce.
Qin Yi then sat opposite the two of them.
Once everyone was seated, Wang Yu instructed the servants to quickly serve the dishes.
"You all came in a hurry today, and we didn't prepare anything at home. I don't know if the dishes I made will suit your tastes."
Qin Liang was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He hadn't said a word since Qin Ce and Qiao Xing entered the room.
Perhaps he didn't want to say it, or perhaps Qin Ce didn't give him a chance to speak.
In short, he had the worst complexion of all the people at the dinner table.
Qin Ce served food to Qiao Xing, who had the best appetite during this period, and every dish on the table looked very appetizing to her.
However, Qin Liang's tense expression made the atmosphere inexplicably oppressive, while Wang Yu looked at her with a smile.
Qiao Xing felt extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Qin Yi suddenly spoke up at this moment, "Dad, have you prepared a red envelope? My sister-in-law's pregnancy is a big deal. As her grandfather, you should at least give her a gift."
Qin Yi knew that Qin Liang had wanted to scold him from the moment he walked in.
Furthermore, Qin Ce didn't give him a friendly look after returning, so Qin Yi quickly changed the subject before Qin Liang could shift the blame onto him.
Qin Yi's words finally eased the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table.
Before Qin Liang could respond, Wang Yu took out the red envelope first.
“Yes, Xingxing is our family’s eldest grandson. You are a great contributor to our family.” Wang Yu said as she pushed a red envelope in front of Qiao Xing. “Inside is a bank card that your father and I prepared. There is no password. It should be fine to use until the child comes of age. Consider it a small token of our appreciation for the child.”
