Chapter 684 I hope you are doing well
Shen Boyan took a bite of the bun, shook his head and said, "No need, I'm almost fully recovered. Tao Yang went back to his hometown yesterday, and now He Miao is the only one in the company. Many of the newly recruited people are not familiar with the procedures, so I have to go back and keep an eye on things."
Qiao Xing sighed, "You said you don't have a girlfriend and aren't in a hurry to get married, so why are you working so hard?"
"Pay back the money, save the money." Shen Boyan stated his goal simply: "Although I don't have a girlfriend and am not in a hurry to get married, I must at least ensure that I can survive."
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that there were plenty of men his age who didn't strive for success and just drifted through life.
Those people never worry about being eliminated by society, nor do they worry about how to live their lives in the future.
Shen Boyan stood out among men of his age.
After finishing his meal, Shen Boyan wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. When Tao Yang comes back, I'll treat you to a meal."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Boyan was even more tight-fisted with money than she was, so it was quite a rare thing to hear him invite her to dinner.
Qiao Xing didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Shen Boyan changed his clothes. The surgery had made him lose several pounds, and his clothes, which used to fit him well, now looked very loose.
With Tao Yang absent, the task of taking care of Shen Boyan fell to Te Hemiao.
After tidying up, Qiao Shen Boyan asked Qiao Xing, "Should I take you home first?"
Qiao Xing laughed and said, "How could I let a patient like you take me? I'll take a taxi home after my prenatal checkup."
Shen Boyan frowned. "You're going for a prenatal checkup?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Shen Boyan glanced towards the door. "Where's your husband? Isn't he with you?"
Qiao Xing said, "Didn't I tell you? He went to Beijing on a business trip. He was supposed to be back yesterday, but he was delayed by work. He probably won't be back for a few more days."
Shen Boyan's expression was rather unpleasant.
He increasingly failed to understand the man's actions.
It's understandable that he's busy with work, but Qiao Xing is pregnant, and his behavior of neglecting his wife and child for the sake of work is extremely irresponsible.
Shen Boyan was silent for a moment, then said to Qiao Xing, "I'll go with you."
"Huh?" Qiao Xing was a little taken aback. "You're coming with me?"
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm not good enough?"
Qiao Xing chuckled.
It's not a question of whether it's feasible or not; the main issue is that she finds the idea of Shen Boyan accompanying her to the obstetrics and gynecology department ridiculous just to think about it.
She said to Shen Boyan, "I can go by myself, there's really no need to trouble you. You're fine now, so don't bother me with all this trouble."
He insisted, "I'm fine."
Qiao Xing couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to let him go with him.
Qiao Xing is six months pregnant. In addition to the routine blood test and fetal heart rate monitoring that she always has, she has two more tests this time.
It was the weekend, and there weren't many people coming for prenatal checkups. Because there weren't many people, Shen Boyan, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, looked quite out of place standing at the entrance of the obstetrics department.
The pregnant women who came for prenatal checkups were all staring at Shen Boyan with a very curious look.
"Is that man your husband? He's quite handsome." The doctor examining Qiao Xing couldn't help but praise Shen Boyan. "These days, very few men are willing to accompany their wives to prenatal checkups. They're all concerned about their image. Your husband is really good; he's even waiting for you at the door."
"Doctor, you've misunderstood, he's not..."
Before Qiao Xing could finish explaining, the doctor interrupted her, "The report is out, the fetus is very healthy, as long as you come for check-ups on time every month."
Qiao Xing slowly sat up and took the form from the doctor. "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome."
When they came out, the doctor didn't forget to remind Shen Boyan, "She has low blood sugar these past two days. Remember to cook her some porridge or soup that is good for replenishing qi and blood. Although low blood sugar is not a serious illness, she is pregnant and it should not be ignored."
At this point, the doctor suddenly asked, "I don't think I've seen this before."
Although it was occasionally Qin Ce or Xing Jiu and Qiao Xing who came, she wasn't surprised that the doctors around her were always changing, but she still asked a few more questions when she saw this unfamiliar face.
Shen Boyan glanced behind him subconsciously and casually said, "I'm her friend. Her husband is away on a business trip, and I was just passing by."
The doctor said, "I see. You should be more careful then."
"Okay, I understand."
After saying goodbye to the doctor, he came out and saw Qiao Xing looking at her pregnancy test results. He asked, "How did the test go? Are you and the baby okay?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "Everything is fine. I'm sorry to have troubled you to come with me."
Shen Boyan was relieved to hear that everything went smoothly, but then he remembered what the doctor had said about Qiao Xing having low blood sugar.
He hesitated, but the words he had been keeping to himself finally slipped out.
"Qiao Xing, I know I shouldn't pry into your private affairs, but I consider you a friend, and I hope you can cut your losses in time instead of clinging to an unfair marriage and causing yourself even deeper harm."
Qiao Xing listened to his words, looking completely bewildered. "Cut your losses in time? Get hurt? What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying?"
Shen Boyan opened his mouth, unsure whether he should say the rest to Qiao Xing.
It is said that bystanders see things more clearly than those involved, and Qiao Xing, being deeply involved, may not be able to perceive it.
However, Shen Boyan could see that Qiao Xing was clearly not valued in this marriage.
He couldn't be 100% certain that Qin Ce was a bad person, but in terms of how he treated Qiao Xing, Shen Boyan felt that Qin Ce hadn't done a very good job of fulfilling his expectations.
But Qiao Xing might not be able to accept these words, because he thinks they are wrong.
Qiao Xing's nonchalant attitude may well prove that he is currently in love with his current partner.
What he saw and what that man brought to Qiao Xing might not be the same.
Shen Boyan swallowed his words in the end, "Qiao Xing, I hope you are doing well, including your child."
Qiao Xing smiled warmly, "Thank you."
Looking at her smile, Shen Boyan felt as if something had scratched his heart.
It doesn't hurt, but it's also uncomfortable.
He quickly grabbed a handful of hair to hide his emotions, "Let's go, He Miao should be here soon."
After returning from the hospital, Qiao Xing called Qin Ce to ask how his project was going.
However, Qin Ce's phone remained unanswered.
Qiao Xing made two or three calls, but Qin Ce didn't respond.
Grandpa Qin was watering the flowers on the balcony when he turned to her and said, "He's probably in a meeting. Try calling again later."
