"Daidai is getting bolder and bolder. Let's not talk about it for now. I will tell Zeqi your location and ask him to come find you quickly." Qu Qingzhu's tone was filled with helplessness and anxiety.
"Okay! Bye!" After Qin Yunie hung up the phone, she recalled Qu Qingdai and Huo Jianqiu's behavior and was shocked. She was deeply impressed by their courage. However, when she thought of Su Zeqi's concern for his wife, she became a little worried. She was afraid that if Brother Su blamed her, she would be implicated as well. After all, she was considered "knowingly keeping silent."
She curled her lips and muttered softly, "What should I do? I hope Brother Su won't vent his anger on me." After that, she stood up and prepared to face the coming "storm".
Qin Yunie was a little afraid of Su Zeqi in her heart, so every time she faced him, she would unconsciously become a little timid.
After waiting in the maternity and baby store for a while, Qin Yunie saw Su Zeqi hurried over. He looked like he had been running all the way, and even had a dusty air on his body.
Qin Yunie quickly put on a smile and called out in a light and flattering voice, "Brother Su, hello."
Su Zeqi's face showed no extra expression. He just said "hmm" lightly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He asked directly: "Where is she?"
Qin Yunie immediately pointed inside the maternity and baby store, and without even taking back the smile on her face, she said, "Sister Jianqiu is in there, and Daidai is with her."
Su Zeqi responded and walked inside with big strides without stopping for a moment. His anxious back seemed as if he was afraid that something would happen if he was a step late.
At this moment, inside the maternity and baby store, Huo Jianqiu was holding a blue baby dress and a pink one in front of him, comparing them. A conflicted look filled his face. He turned to look at Qu Qingdai and asked with a smile, "Daidai, which one do you think looks better, this one or this one?"
Qu Qingdai smiled helplessly. She didn't know how many times she had heard Huo Jianqiu ask such a question today.
Because she still didn't know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, Huo Jianqiu was really conflicted. She would hesitate for a long time every time she chose something. In the end, she simply bought everything, regardless of whether it was for men or women, as long as she thought it was good-looking and practical. But even so, she still couldn't help but ask a question or two.
Qu Qingdai sighed slightly and said in a somewhat admonishing tone, "Sister-in-law, actually, you don't have to rush to buy it. After the baby is born, there will be plenty of time to slowly choose."
She paused, then continued, "Besides, we still don't know if you're having a boy or a girl. If you buy so much, some of it will definitely go unused. That would be a waste of money. Although I know you're not short of money, we still have to exercise some restraint. We should still promote the virtue of thriftiness passed down by our ancestors."
Huo Jianqiu raised an eyebrow disapprovingly after hearing this and retorted, "Who said it's useless?"
Qu Qingdai looked puzzled, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she looked at Huo Jianqiu to ask what he meant.
Huo Jianqiu raised his chin slightly and said confidently, "Then why don't I just have another child?"
Qu Qingdai was stunned at first, then couldn't help but jokingly asked, "What if we have another child, and it's the same gender?"
Huo Jianqiu curled her lips, her tone filled with a hint of resentment, and said loudly: "That means Su Zeqi is no good, what a useless man!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Qingdai looked up and saw Su Zeqi who had been standing in the maternity and baby store without her knowing when. She was stunned and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Qu Qingdai coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, let's not talk about this anymore..."
Huo Jianqiu waved his hand nonchalantly, glared, and said, "Why can't you tell me? He's not here right now, what could happen? Don't be such a coward..."
At this moment, a deep, magnetic yet cold voice seemed to come from behind her: "What makes Mrs. Su think I'm no longer capable?"
Huo Jianqiu felt a chill suddenly rising from the back of his head, and his body stiffened slightly involuntarily.
She did not turn around immediately, but instead made desperate expressions at Qu Qingdai who was standing opposite her, her eyes full of help and anxiety, as if saying, "What should I do? Save me quickly."
Qu Qingdai nodded in understanding, and in order to cover for Huo Jianqiu, she deliberately said "hmm" in a light tone, trying to distract Su Zeqi's attention.
Su Zeqi's brows were tightly knitted together, and his tall and straight body stood quietly behind Huo Jianqiu, like a towering mountain, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.
He lowered his head slightly, and the low and dark voice seemed to fall straight from above Huo Jianqiu's head: "Wasn't Mrs. Su very eloquent just now? How come you don't even dare to turn around now?" His words were full of teasing and joking.
Huo Jianqiu couldn't stand being provoked the most. When he heard this, his neck stiffened and he turned around quickly without saying a word.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her clear almond eyes were wide open. She stared at Su Zeqi and said loudly: "Who is afraid of you? Since you heard it all, I will tell you straight away. If I can't give birth to the baby I want, it's your problem!" She looked a bit stubborn, but also a little cute because of anger.
Su Zeqi stared at her quietly, his narrow eyes behind the lenses narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
