Chapter 976 Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years
The maid quickly explained, "This is medicine I brewed for the master. I was going to let it cool before bringing it to him, but I lost my grip and... I really..."
The maid felt extremely guilty, fearing she would be scolded.
Just then, Wang Yu came out of the room and frowned slightly when she saw the mess on the floor.
Seeing this, the maid became even more nervous.
However, Wang Yu did not seem to intend to blame her. Instead, she instructed, "Don't just stand there, tidy up."
The maid nodded as if granted a pardon, "Okay! I'll get ready right away."
Wang Yu turned to look at Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, and asked Qiao Xing with concern, "They're so careless, Xingxing, did they scare you?"
"No." Qiao Xing shook her head.
After leaving the villa, Qiao Xing had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"The taste of that medicine was really strange," Qiao Xing muttered to himself after getting into the car.
As Qin Ce drove, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Xing said, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but it doesn't taste like traditional Chinese medicine. When my grandfather was in Chongqing, he drank Chinese medicine a few times. The taste was strong, but not so unbearable. But the taste just now..."
Since becoming pregnant, Qiao Xing's sense of smell has become unusually sensitive. Sometimes, even a slightly strong smell is unbearable for her.
The smell of that medicine made Qiao Xing feel nauseous.
Qin Ce remained silent and did not say anything.
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then said to him, "I guess I'm overthinking it. Maybe that's just how the Chinese medicine tastes. But I'm a little curious, why would your dad drink medicine when he was perfectly fine?"
Qin Ce scoffed, "Whether he's alright or not isn't up to him to decide, it's up to the doctor."
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Ce said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking that your suspicion might be correct, that medicine might really have a problem."
Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, "What?"
Qin Ce didn't say much, but Qiao Xing probably understood what he meant. "You don't mean to say that Aunt Wang..."
Qiao Xing dared not think further. Although she knew that Wang Yu disliked Qin Ce and had always wanted Qin Ji to join the Qin family, she would not do such things to achieve her goal, would she?
Qin Ce said casually, "It was just a casual remark; she might not be that stupid."
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce wasn't just saying it casually.
He never judges anything with a skeptical attitude.
Once he's made up his mind, then that thing must be 100% true.
A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Qiao Xing's heart.
She wondered how she would face Wang Yu's gentle face if what Qin Ce said was true.
If this is true, would Qin Ce, as someone who knows the truth, choose to tell Qin Liang?
Will Qin Liang believe Qin Ce?
Qiao Xing's thoughts drifted away.
Qin Ce stopped the car and said to her, "We're here, get out."
Qiao Xing finally came to her senses. She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind and got out of the car with Qin Ce.
Yang Han and Xiao Lin had already arrived.
When they entered the private room, Yang Han was leaning close to Xiao Lin, seemingly saying something. Xiao Lin frowned and slapped her hand, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"
The next second, the two saw Qiao Xing and Qin Ce.
Yang Han was the first to stand up and walk over to hug Qin Ce. "Old Qin! I missed you so much!"
Qin Ce pushed him away with obvious disgust, saying, "I appreciate your kind intentions."
He looked at Xiao Lin and nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
Xiao Lin, heavily pregnant, found it inconvenient to walk. She slowly stood up, walked forward, and greeted Qin Ce and Qiao Xing with a smile, "President Qin, Qiao Xing, it's been a long time."
Qiao Xing smiled and nodded, "Long time no see."
"Alright, everyone, stop standing and sit down."
Yang Han invited everyone to sit down and then instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.
Qiao Xing and Xiao Lin sat together, Qin Ce and Yang Han sat together, and the two pregnant women sat together. Although they hadn't met many times before, they naturally had a lot to talk about.
We talked about everything from pregnancy and prenatal checkups to the baby's gender and our mindset when facing childbirth.
Meanwhile, Yang Han was secretly confiding in Qin Ce.
"Old Qin, since your wife got pregnant, has she been asking you all sorts of questions every day? Like, the kind of questions that question your feelings for her?"
Qin Ce slowly sipped his juice, recalling the time Qiao Xing had a nightmare in the middle of the night, accidentally hit him, and then got up to tell him that he had cheated on her.
He asked Yang Han, "What's wrong? Did she have a nightmare and hit you?"
Yang Han was taken aback. "No, not at all."
Qin Ce felt a little resentful.
Everyone says that when a wife is pregnant, why doesn't Yang Han have to go through this situation?
Yang Han scratched his head, looking slightly annoyed, and said, "I've heard that women often suspect their husbands of cheating after having children, and then question them every day about whether they love them or not. But why doesn't Xiao Lin do that?"
Qin Ce frowned, looking at Yang Han speechlessly, "Are you sick?"
Yang Han said, "No, I just can't understand why Xiao Lin's emotions have remained normal from the beginning until now, when she will give birth in a few months. She never asks me if I love her or anything like that. Wherever I go, even if I come back very late, she doesn't say anything. Do you think she doesn't love me anymore?"
Qin Ce was at a loss for words to describe Yang Han. "Isn't it good that she's emotionally stable? She's been bothering you every day, can you stand it?"
Yang Han nodded frantically, "I really wish she would nag me every day. You have no idea how envious I am when I see my wife acting all dramatic in front of me. If Xiao Lin also acts like that, it means she really cares about me!"
People say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. Qin Ce felt that Yang Han and Xiao Lin were two different people. Xiao Lin was the one who was pregnant, but Yang Han was the one who was stupid.
"Think carefully about how to raise the child properly after it's born, instead of worrying about these trivial things all day long." Qin Ce reprimanded Yang Han mercilessly.
Yang Han wasn't angry. He muttered, "Your wife is so understanding and gentle. Of course you don't have this kind of trouble. But in my wife's heart, the children are more important than work, and work is more important than me. Even the dog we keep at home is almost ahead of me. You have no idea how insecure I feel!"
Yang Han sometimes even regrets having children so early.
Back then, his relationship with Xiao Lin had just stabilized, and they hadn't even had a chance to start their sweet romance when the baby came unexpectedly.
Although Yang Han never intended for Xiao Lin to abort the child, who could stand facing a wife who seemed to have no interest in him at all?
