Chapter 17: Hiss Nearly Caused a Miscarriage, Almost Killing Both Mother and Child
The electronic screen in the waiting area gleamed with a cold light. He carefully examined a boarding pass, its creases deepening.
Boarding time was almost over, and Tao Bei urged them three times before daring not to urge them any further.
Qin Lingchuan glanced at the entrance several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
In the end, she wouldn't even give him a ride.
Youzhen was pressing her face against the floor-to-ceiling window of her second-floor room. The flowers in the garden were still blooming beautifully, but her eyes were unfocused, and she didn't pay any attention to the scenery.
The flight tracking information on Flightradar24 showed that Qin Lingchuan's flight was about to take off.
The roar of an engine came from the clouds. Youzhen looked up but could not find the plane. There was only a long tail of cloud stretching into the distance.
It should have taken off already...
He was pregnant after all.
That place is bitterly cold, Qin Lingchuan, you must take good care of yourself...
The flight attendant was still very attentive, but remembering the last time I took a flight, I had a beautiful woman by my side, but this time I was all alone, and the discomfort I felt was even more acute.
Upon arrival, Qin Lingchuan threw himself into the project like a work machine, personally handling everything, and the original 30-day plan was completed in just half a month.
Apart from the experts, the Zhou family returned to China ahead of schedule.
Qin Lingchuan checked the accounts one last time, and just a few days ago, she felt movement in her abdomen. It wasn't the dry pain she had before, but a noticeable stirring.
At this moment, that feeling returned, and Qin Lingchuan released the mouse and pressed his abdomen to ease it.
Tao Bei looked on in alarm: "Master, are you alright?"
A few days ago, Qin Lingchuan was walking down the street in a daze when he accidentally fell down the stairs, prompting an emergency call for Dr. Huang.
The doctor said that the fetus was not in a good position, so even the slightest movement would cause Qin Lingchuan a lot of pain.
He didn't care much; he just wanted to bear it.
Youzhen refused to forgive him; this baby in his belly was his only hope. Therefore, he cherished the time it spent alive and well.
He stroked her belly through his skin, as if Youzhen were interacting with him from afar.
The reason he was in such a hurry was because he was really worried about leaving Youzhen alone at the Zhou family home. Judging from what the old man said that day, no matter what Youzhen's current status was, he probably wouldn't let her go.
For a full fifteen days, she didn't send him a single message.
She didn't care about him, and that affected their child as well.
They returned home early, without booking plane tickets through the butler, and instead took a helicopter directly to the Zhou family's back residence.
On the sandy ground, mud and bloodstains mingled, Xia Youzhen sat on the ground, bound behind her back.
She didn't seem afraid at all; upon seeing the person approaching, she displayed a reckless, almost delusional, attitude.
"Second brother, didn't I say you'd leave the person to me to handle?"
Qin Lingchuan sat in a wheelchair, with Tao Bei standing behind him. Even so, his face was filled with weariness.
How did his body get so overworked?
Although I had heard my senior mention a few times that Qin Lingchuan used a wheelchair to get around when inspecting work there, seeing it in person was still even more shocking.
He came with a bad temper, and she repeatedly risked her life, putting herself in danger.
He made it this time, but what if he doesn't make it next time?
Zhou Yuanli went to such lengths because the documents in the safe were missing.
It contains not only information about the Xia family and the Zhou family, but also a lot of information about Boss Li.
Qin Lingchuan knew that since Youzhen had shown her face in front of Boss Li last time, he wouldn't let go of this last remaining heir of the Xia family.
Tao Bei had already stepped forward to untie You Zhen's ropes. Qin Lingchuan didn't even look at her; he just grabbed her arm tightly, threw her behind him, and got up to negotiate with Zhou Yuanli.
This time it happened in the Zhou family's back courtyard, most likely at the behest of the old man.
The fog was thick, and the two men in black suits almost disappeared into the twilight.
They are all businessmen, so they are naturally good at negotiating.
She especially disliked the negotiating tone Qin Lingchuan used when he spoke to her.
Zhou Yuanli glanced at Youzhen, then left with his men.
After everyone left, Qin Lingchuan's momentum, which had been so strong, seemed to have completely vanished. He gasped for breath, clutched his lower abdomen, and nearly collapsed from exhaustion.
Tao Bei immediately stepped forward to support him. Qin Lingchuan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak and was in a state of agitation.
Youzhen wanted to ease the tension in their relationship. She had indeed said some harsh things that day, and she couldn't afford to break off all ties with him yet.
What's more, he saved her again.
She immediately pushed the wheelchair over, and Qin Lingchuan carefully and steadily sat down, holding onto the handles. However, he still couldn't withstand the sudden compression and deformation of his abdomen, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the person inside. The dull pain intensified, and he hissed uncontrollably.
Qin Lingchuan leaned back cautiously, adjusted his posture, and then unbuttoned his suit jacket. With Youzhen beside him, he only unbuttoned one button.
Tao Bei was still pushing him, and You Zhen followed along absentmindedly.
"Where is Dr. Huang? Has he arrived yet?" Qin Lingchuan turned slightly to the left, as if the pain on his right side was more severe.
Tao Bei hurriedly said, "I've already called him, he should be here soon."
"How much longer? I feel a little... dizzy."
Yu Zhen's mind went blank with alarm bells. She felt dizzy. Could it be due to excessive blood loss?
Qin Lingchuan remained silent and went back to his room. Fortunately, Dr. Huang was already there and gave him an emergency examination.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Qin Lingchuan rolled the blanket up in front of him, making it appear as if he were bulging up, but in reality, he reversed the appearance to cover his belly shape under the blanket.
Dr. Huang, his face grim and brows furrowed, said, “Everyone else, please leave. Boss, your right uterine wall wasn’t formed all at once. The baby’s current position isn’t good enough for delivery. I have to switch the baby.”
Her heart pounded like a drum. Youzhen glanced at Qin Lingchuan, said nothing, and prepared to leave.
As she walked past him, Qin Lingchuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "Over there, you almost miscarried, nearly losing both you and your unborn child. Youzhen, are you over it now?"
A note from the author:

The next chapter will be available for purchase! The update time has been adjusted to midnight, meaning a long chapter of 10,000 words will be released in three hours!
Go for it! [Sprinkling flowers] [Cheering]
Just a heads-up: there are a lot of personal interpretations here. The baby is incredibly resilient; no matter what you do, he won't fall off [doge emoji]. Also, since it's a boy's pregnancy, please don't get too hung up on the real-world medical facts.
Pre-order "The Scumbag Woman Becomes Empress"
When Mu Jiu was the Crown Princess of Xia Kingdom, she once made a disrespectful gesture towards the Third Prince of Sang Kingdom, who was then a hostage in her court.
A year later, the Xia Kingdom was destroyed by the Sang Kingdom. The one who personally sent her to be a prisoner was none other than the Third Prince, whom she had touched, kissed, and pulled on the belt of.
As the Third Prince grew increasingly frail, he endured a difficult childbirth on the dragon throne when Mu Jiu, with the help of an ally, restored the kingdom and proclaimed himself emperor.
The courtiers kept clamoring that the royal family wanted to have more children. The Imperial Preceptor and the Phoenix Prince gave birth on the same day, but dared not let anyone know that the child in his womb was His Majesty's. He bit his colorful satin and endured the pain alone in the Star Gazing Tower.
The loyal bodyguard, his belly protruding, knelt on the ground to serve his pregnant concubine by soaking her feet.
The schoolteacher she met while seeking refuge, and the top male performer in the Youling Palace, are still waiting for Mu Jiu to remember them and give them a proper status.
The three thousand women in the imperial harem all lived for the sake of one sentence she uttered:
I like him, but I've never stopped loving you.
