Chapter 881 Grown a Little More
Qin Ce heard Qiao Xing's babbling coming from under the covers, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
But he guessed that she was probably expressing her dissatisfaction with him.
Qin Ce chuckled and said deliberately, "You said you didn't want to play. If I see you playing games with Qin Yi again, or secretly playing games on your own, don't blame me for being heartless."
Qiao Xing threw back the blanket, "You bastard!"
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't exactly a gentleman in front of Qiao Xing anyway; so what if he was a bastard? He didn't care.
Qin Ce got into bed, pulled Qiao Xing into his arms, and covered her with the blanket again.
"Go to sleep."
Before going to sleep, he habitually touched Qiao Xing's stomach.
"The child seems to have grown a bit more."
"Yes, it's been more than six months."
There are less than three months left until my due date.
Qin Ce said, "By the time you give birth, it will be right around the New Year."
"yes."
The due date was only two or three days away from the Spring Festival. Although there were still a few months to go, Qiao Xing couldn't help but feel anxious whenever she thought about the day she would give birth.
"I hope the baby will be strong enough to come out after the New Year."
Otherwise, while everyone else is celebrating the New Year, she'll be stuck in the hospital.
As a result, Grandpa Qin and Qin Ce were also unable to have a peaceful New Year.
"This is not something you can control. As long as the baby is born safely, that's all that matters. Don't think about it, just go to sleep."
Qiao Xing felt extremely safe holding Qin Ce and fell asleep in no time.
However, after falling asleep, Qiao Xing dreamed of playing games with Qin Ce.
She was repeatedly abused by Qin Ce. In her dreams, Qin Ce was like a madman, ignoring her pleas for mercy.
As soon as she revives, even if she's standing under the tower, she'll still dive over and kill him.
Later, Qiao Xing simply threw her phone away and stopped playing. As a result, Qin Ce came over and threatened her, saying that if she stopped playing, he would lock her in the house and not let her leave the house.
His sharp expression startled Qiao Xing awake.
She opened her eyes and saw Qin Ce's face magnified in front of her.
She instinctively moved back a little.
Her movement woke Qin Ce.
He opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Xing didn't expect the aftereffects of playing games with Qin Ce to be so severe, to the point that she started having nightmares.
Qiao Xing was embarrassed to say that she was startled awake by a dream about Qin Ce.
He will definitely laugh at her.
She quickly nestled her head against his chest and said, "It's nothing, let's go to sleep."
Grandpa Qin had been keeping Qin Yi in mind. Although he didn't intend to drive Qin Yi away, he was worried that if Qin Yi continued to stay with Qin Ce, it would worsen the relationship between Qin Liang and Qin Ce.
So while having breakfast, before Qin Yi got up, Grandpa Qin asked Qin Ce, "I asked you to talk to Xiao Yi, did you talk to him, and what did he think?"
Qin Ce replied, "He will go back."
Grandpa Qin felt much relieved after hearing this. "That's more like it."
In fact, Grandpa Qin really wanted Qin Yi to get married.
He and Qin Ce were only a few years apart in age. Qin Ce already had a child, while Qin Yi didn't even have a girlfriend yet. To make matters worse, the boy was very resistant to marriage, which made Grandpa Qin very anxious.
Furthermore, if Qin Yi really gets married, the relationship between Qin Ce and Qin Liang might improve.
No one knows a son better than his father, and Grandpa Qin knew Qin Liang's temper better than anyone.
He's just stubborn and prideful. He wants Qin Ce to come home, but he also feels that he's the father and doesn't want to back down, so things have remained deadlocked.
However, ever since Qiao Xing visited the Qin family, Grandpa Qin could clearly see that Qin Liang's attitude towards Qin Ce had changed a lot.
This change might go unnoticed by others, but Grandpa Qin could see it.
After breakfast was prepared, Qin Yi and Qiao Xing got up.
The two had just sat down at the table when they both started yawning.
Grandpa Qin looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Neither of you slept well?"
Qin Ce focused on peeling eggs for Qiao Xing without saying a word. He wanted to hear how Qin Yi and Qiao Xing would respond to Grandpa Qin.
Qin Yi dared not tell his grandfather that last night he not only dragged Qiao Xing to play games, but also stayed up for several more hours playing games after returning to his room because he hadn't had enough.
He rolled his eyes and immediately shifted the blame to Qin Liang, "It's all because of my dad. He kept calling me yesterday, talking about blind dates, and it bothered me so much that I didn't sleep well all night."
Grandpa Qin showed him no sympathy whatsoever. "Hmph, you brought this on yourself."
He turned to look at Qiao Xing, his tone softening instantly, "Xingxing, were you feeling unwell last night?"
Qin Yi shook his head silently.
Grandpa Qin treated Qiao Xing even better than he would his own daughter.
Faced with Grandpa Qin's concern, Qiao Xing felt so ashamed and indignant that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
She forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly. "Grandpa, I'm not feeling unwell, I just have a bit of insomnia."
"When a woman is pregnant, there will always be various problems, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. Insomnia also needs to be taken seriously, otherwise if you don't get enough rest, the baby will suffer as well."
Qiao Xing nodded repeatedly, not daring to look at Grandpa Qin at all.
"Xiao Ce, don't be busy with company matters all day long. When you have free time, take Xingxing out for a walk and take her out to eat something delicious. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. You must not let anything happen to Xingxing."
Qin Ce gave Qiao Xing a meaningful look, then nodded to Grandpa Qin, "I understand."
After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.
Qin Ce and Qiao Xing went to the company. Ever since his fall, Grandpa Qin has refused to go out.
But I couldn't resist the invitation from those old men in the park, so I finally went out.
The park was as lively as ever; everyone missed Grandpa Qin, whom they hadn't seen for several days.
Upon meeting him, they immediately inquired about his health. Grandpa Qin was deeply moved, as he hadn't expected so many people to care about him.
After chatting for a while, someone casually asked about Old Master Meng's recent situation.
"I heard that Old Man Meng's grandson has almost fully recovered, but Old Man Meng is still not out of the intensive care unit. A couple of days ago, I specifically asked my son to take me to the hospital to see him. The doctor said that it's still uncertain whether he can hold on until the New Year..."
Sighs rose in unison. Grandpa Qin recalled how he and Grandpa Meng played chess, drank tea, and chatted amiably. For a moment, he was filled with worries.
He vaguely remembered how Grandpa Meng proudly boasted to him about how adorable his grandson was after he was born.
They even urged Grandpa Qin to have a granddaughter so that they could arrange a marriage between him and his grandson.
Life is unpredictable. In such a short time, he and Old Master Meng have already reached the point where they are about to be separated by death.
