Ding Ling sat downstairs, watching TV absentmindedly, but her ears were perked up to listen to the noise upstairs.
But the second floor was unexpectedly quiet. No sound came down for a long time. This strange silence made her feel even more uneasy, as if it was the calm before the storm.
Just as she was secretly worried, Qi Shengzhi walked in from outside. She quickly stood up and greeted him:
"Hello, Master's wife! My master and Sister Jingque are talking in the room and asked me to come down and watch some TV."
She and Sister Jingque were staying at their master's house, and had already caused a lot of trouble to their master and his wife. Usually, they would go directly to the second floor when they returned home. Except for meeting Qi Shengzhi in the dining room at breakfast, they had basically no contact with him at other times, because they were worried that he would feel uncomfortable.
When Qi Shengzhi heard her name, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally and he nodded at her.
He always felt that Yingying's apprentice was not very smart...
"I bought Xiefangyuan's braised duck for midnight snack. Ask them to come down and eat with us!"
Although he is not very smart, he is Yingying's apprentice after all. Qi Shengzhi also put away his original attitude of keeping people away and became much gentler.
Ding Ling was somewhat flattered by his change of attitude, but when she thought about what might happen upstairs, she timidly shook her head:
"Let's wait, I don't dare to go up now..."
Qi Shengzhi frowned. What did this mean?
Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel?
He looked up at the second floor. It was as quiet as if no one was there, and there didn't seem to be any quarreling going on upstairs.
"Then I'll go up and call them."
The two people in the room on the second floor did not quarrel.
When Yue Feiying heard the news of Shao Jingque's pregnancy, she was stunned. She stared with her eyes wide open and didn't say a word for a long time.
Que'er is pregnant?!
Her best friend who had never even held a man's hand in her past life...was actually pregnant?!
Shao Jingque looked at Yue Feiying with some worry, wondering if she was too shocked. It was as if her whole body had short-circuited, her eyes staring straight ahead, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.
She would rather Yue Feiying get angry at her, scold her for not knowing the seriousness of the matter, or scold her for not telling her earlier, it would be better than remaining silent like this.
"Yingying, I was wrong. I should have told you earlier..."
"Whose?"
"Um?"
Yue Feiying's sudden question made Shao Jingque stunned, "Whose?"
Shao Jingque blushed:
"Whose else could it be? Of course it's Lu Zhan's!"
Yue Feiying was puzzled:
"Didn't you break up a long time ago? I was just wondering how you managed to find a new love right under my nose and even have a baby so quickly. This revenge on your ex is a little too swift and thorough!"
Shao Jingque was speechless. She should have thought that Yue Feiying's thought process was different from that of ordinary people.
"I'm not that bored. As long as you're not mad at me, that's all I need. I also heard the news on my way back from Henan Province. My mind was a mess at the time, and with the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals for the art troupe and the photo studio renovation and upgrades, everyone was super busy. I figured I'd tell you slowly after I'd sorted out all the chores I had."
Yue Feiying pouted and gently stroked Shao Jingque's belly with her hand:
"Who said I'm not angry? But you've had a very hard time being pregnant. I can't bear to scold you now. I'll settle the score with you after my godson is born and you finish your confinement!"
Shao Jingque's nose felt sore and he muttered:
"How do you know I'm pregnant with a son? What if it's a daughter? You're favoring boys over girls!"
Yue Feiying whispered:
"I also don't want you to have a daughter. What if she grows up to be as silly as you, meets someone who makes her unhappy, and gets bullied?"
Shao Jingque couldn't hold it in any longer, tears welled up in her eyes. She pretended to gently pat Yue Feiying's hand away and said in a nasal voice:
"I'm not stupid. Who bullied me? Besides, if someone really bullied me, I still have you!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly couldn't hold back any longer and started crying while hugging Yue Feiying.
In fact, Shao Jingque didn't know why she was crying. Even without Lu Zhan, she had the confidence to raise the child alone, not to mention that she had a group of friends around her who were as close as family.
But she still couldn't help feeling sore in her nose, eyes, and heart. A complex mixture of sadness, grievance, regret, etc. fermented in her heart, and finally released it in front of the person she trusted most today.
Yue Feiying hugged Shao Jingque, who was crying inconsolably, and gently stroked her back:
"Isn't it? You still have me! From now on, I will not only protect you, but also your child. If anyone bullies you and your mother, I will beat him up so badly that even his mother won't recognize him!"
For some reason, when Shao Jingque heard her say this, the scene of Lu Zhan being beaten black and blue by her appeared in his mind. It was so funny that he couldn't help laughing.
Yue Feiying also laughed and said:
"That's right. It's a day of crying and a day of laughing. Life is short, so we should live every day happily."
"Think about the good life we will live in the future, with wealth and freedom, beauty like a flower, no constraints, and a life full of wilderness!"
"When you go out, you'll find that there's a vast forest outside. No one in this world can survive without the other. I'm afraid I'll be overwhelmed by the choices!"
Shao Jingque listened to her talk nonsense again and silently took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears:
