Xia Shige was stunned. Qianqian was pregnant? It was only December, and the baby was already a month old? Didn't that mean she was born in November?
Perhaps guessing what Xia Shige was thinking, Shen Zehuai sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "It's not a full-term baby, it's a premature baby."
It might be because she had moved to a new residence during the forest fire in Xindu Community and was exhausted from going back and forth twice, or it might be because she had been feeling restless for a long time. In any case, Qianqian started having labor just two days after she moved back to Xindu Community.
Fortunately, the villa is equipped with professional medical equipment and team, and both mother and child are safe.
Xia Shige thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I, Chen Zehuai, congratulations!"
Shen Zehuai replied with a smile: "Then we will be waiting in the banquet hall on the 40th floor of Yunjiang Hotel at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Shige took out a piece of gold that he had dug out from the Taoyuan Mine before, and used the newly unlocked "jewelry making" machine in the workshop to make a pair of heavy small gold bracelets and a longevity lock, which he put in a gift box, intending to bring over as a full-moon gift.
Xia Shige looked at the gift box and found it a little funny for a moment. A few months ago, she would never have thought that she would give a full-month gift to Qianqian's child.
Tang Shiqi also received an invitation. In the evening, Xia Shige and Tang Shiqi went to Yunjiang Hotel together.
The two of them went all the way to the banquet hall on the 40th floor. There were many guests coming and going. When Shen Zehuai saw Xia Shige and Tang Shiqi coming in, he smiled and came over to greet them:
"Ms. Tang, Ms. Xia, thank you both for your presence."
Xia Shige and Tang Shiqi also congratulated Shen Zehuai: "Congratulations, you have become a father at such a young age."
At this time, a few more guests arrived. Shen Zehuai asked the two to sit down as they pleased and then hurried on to entertain the new guests.
Xia Shige and Tang Shiqi took two glasses of wine and stood in front of the observation deck to chat. They heard several guests around them whispering:
"Whose daughter is this child's mother? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"
"What kind of daughter? She's just a little lover, of ordinary origin, with no name."
"You didn't even give your son a name? That's too tragic."
"The Shen family is not a well-known family. How could they easily let Xiao Qinger take the throne? It's good enough that they are willing to hold a full-month banquet. This at least counts as recognizing the child."
"I heard that Mr. Shen is not married yet, but he has an illegitimate child? Which rich girl would be willing to marry him in a marriage proposal in the future?"
"The Shen family is so rich and powerful, are they still short of marriage partners? Didn't you see how many people came to the full moon banquet today? Many of them came to curry favor with me. Besides, even if the wife minds in the future, the worst that can happen is to send the illegitimate child abroad to be raised. Isn't that what everyone does now?"
"Look at the current situation. It's already December, and the daily maximum temperature can reach 40 or 50 degrees. Does this look like a normal world? It is said that this is God's will to exterminate mankind. If I were Master Shen, I would also take this opportunity to leave a successor. Who knows if I don't leave now, will I have another chance to leave in the future?"
"Now that you mention it, I have to get my wife to prepare for pregnancy as soon as possible, before the world ends and I still don't have a child, haha."
"If the world is really going to be destroyed, then what's the point of having children? Wouldn't it be a pain for the children to be born?"
"It doesn't matter whether I can raise the child or not. Our family can't be extinct. We still need children."
“…”
Qianqian sat in a corner of the banquet hall, listening to this quietly.
It had been just one month since she gave birth, and she was still a little weak. During this period, she had eaten a lot of medicinal tonic food prepared by the nanny, but she still hadn't recovered to her pre-natal condition.
Chen Zehuai originally didn't want her to attend the full moon banquet. She repeatedly promised that she would sit aside quietly and not say anything, and only then did Chen Zehuai agree to bring her over.
Although she gave birth to a child and didn't get a degree, Qianqian has no regrets.
If she hadn't lived in Shen Zehuai's villa, if Shen Zehuai's villa hadn't been equipped with a private doctor, she wouldn't even be able to save her life this time.
When she was bored, she would look through the Xindu community homeowners group. She saw two pregnant women who chose to give birth at home because they could not afford the expensive private hospitals. One lost her baby due to high temperature, and the other lost two lives.
She had a difficult and premature delivery this time, and I break out in cold sweats every time I think about it.
Qianqian closed her eyes and sighed softly. Suddenly, she felt a slight discomfort in her abdomen - this was a sequelae of childbirth, so she stood up and planned to go to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she bumped into Xia Shige who was walking over with Tang Shiqi arm in arm.
Qianqian was a little flustered for a moment, and quickly lowered her head and walked away.
Xia Shige looked at Qianqian's back as she hurriedly left, and suddenly felt that it was not easy for her either. It was clearly her child's full-month banquet, but she had to sit here and listen to everyone's unfriendly comments.
