For lunch today, Qin Zifu ate quite a bit of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, spicy hot pot, and half a portion of grilled cold noodles.
She didn't eat the rest. Luckily, Qi Jingchen understood her situation and anticipated it beforehand, otherwise he would have been the one stuffed.
"You ordered a roasted chicken leg but won't eat a single bite?"
"I don't want to eat anymore, but could you take this with me? I might be able to eat it this afternoon."
"That won't taste good then. I'll order more for you if you want more."
"Okay... then you eat it."
Are you really full?
"Hmm, my stomach hasn't been feeling well these past couple of days. It's uncomfortable if I eat too much. Shall we go for a walk later?"
"Don't go any further, go back and rest for a while. Your shoes aren't comfortable."
Qi Jingchen couldn't wait to go back.
But I want to take a walk.
Qin Zifu suddenly felt a little wronged. Why did they suddenly disagree after just a quick walk? Didn't they agree to everything before?
Seeing that she was visibly starting to feel wronged, Qi Jingchen immediately changed his tune.
"Sure, I'll just walk downstairs for a bit."
Qin Zifu nodded.
As Qi Jingchen looked at Qin Zifu's high heels for the nth time, he finally circled the entire area downstairs.
"Let's go back."
He's walking so slowly, it's making her feet hurt. How can someone with such long legs walk so slowly?
Okay, slower.
"..."
You're a bit strange.
"What's wrong?"
Why are you paying so much attention to me today?
"Because I have a guess in my mind, let's go up."
"What conjecture?"
"Let's go up first, it's getting windy."
Qi Jingchen pulled her coat tighter.
"Okay, by the way, did that employee I saw last time go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Yes, you're right."
"Right? And what about him now?"
"At the hospital, I had Li Wen help with the arrangements."
"It should be considered a very early discovery, right?"
"He was very lucky in his early years; he reportedly grew very quickly, and thankfully the problem was discovered in time."
Qin Zifu nodded. It was good that her diagnosis was accurate. Fortunately, she had seen it at the meeting that day, and it was also good that he believed her and went to the hospital for a check-up immediately.
"Won't the company fire him?"
"No, we will take care of him. If he can handle the job in the future, he can continue. If he can't, he will have to change jobs. But it depends on him. In addition, Qi's provides its employees with commercial insurance in addition to normal social security, which will reduce some of the burden."
"That's good"
"Walk slowly"
Do you think I might develop anorexia?
The two returned to the office while discussing this topic.
"By the way, you said you had a guess about something?"
"Could it be that my baby is pregnant?"
Qi Jingchen casually closed the office door.
"Hmm? That's possible, since we weren't using contraception. But if I'm pregnant, it's a bit early to be having symptoms. I haven't even reached the time for my period yet, which means it's less than four weeks. Who would have symptoms before four weeks?"
Qin Zifu had her suspicions, but thinking that since her period hadn't come yet, it meant that even if she was pregnant, the implantation had only been going on for a few days and there wouldn't be any symptoms yet, she dismissed the idea and decided to wait and see if her period came this month before making a decision.
"Too early? Can you tell by taking a pulse? Or are you just being too sensitive?"
"They shouldn't be able to tell, but I'll try."
Qin Zifu took her own pulse and shook her head.
"It's too early; you can't tell anything by taking a pulse."
"I just ordered a pregnancy test downstairs, it'll be here soon."
While paying attention to her wearing high heels, Qi Jingchen decided to test her first, just to put his mind at ease, regardless of whether it was true or not.
"..."
Is she really in such a hurry to jump to conclusions? Everyone starts testing after their period is late, no one tests this early! Won't she be disappointed if she's not pregnant?
Knock knock
"Enter"
"Mr. Qi, did you buy medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Wen came in carrying a bag, and all that could be seen was the packaging from the pharmacy; the contents inside were not visible.
"It's alright, you can go out now."
"OK"
Qi Jingchen took the bag and led Qin Zifu to the lounge.
"Brother, I can go to the bathroom by myself."
Qin Zifu felt that if she didn't stop him, he would follow her in.
"Excuse me?"
"What do you think? Who watches others use the toilet?"
Go ahead.
Qi Jingchen placed the bag in her hands.
Qin Zifu turned and went into the bathroom. She closed the door, opened the bag, and exclaimed, "Wow, so many!"
Qin Zifu looked at them and chose three different brands.
Three minutes later, one showed two lines, one dark and one light, and the other also showed two very faint lines. There was also an electronic one with the word "pregnant" written on it.
Qin Zifu lined them up. She was definitely pregnant. The light color was just because it was early, but why was she reacting so early? Would she have severe morning sickness later? If it was too serious, she'd have to get injections…
"Baby, are you done?"
Just as Qi Jingchen was about to turn the doorknob, Qin Zifu opened the door.
He came in and saw the three pregnancy tests. The one that said "pregnant" was the most obvious. He couldn't understand the others, but he could tell from this one.
"Pregnant? Do all three of these mean she's pregnant?"
Why do the other two look like they've been born?
Qi Jingchen picked up the packaging and read the instructions again.
"Yes, she's pregnant."
Qin Zifu was also a little confused. She had seen so many pregnant women, but when it came to her, she still felt a little amazed. The key was that she got pregnant as soon as the two of them said they were going to have a child.
"Are you crazy? Haven't you always been saying you wanted a child?"
"It was a bit sudden."
"Don't stand here anymore. Would you like to lie down on the bed for a while? Or would you like to go to the massage chair outside?"
Let's go outside.
"good"
Just as Qin Zifu was about to turn around and leave, Qi Jingchen picked her up in his arms, and Qin Zifu instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Were you frightened?"
"A little"
"The heels are too high."
"So you were staring at my heels the whole time we were walking outside?"
"I'm a little nervous because I'm worried you might not be able to walk steadily."
"Your pregnancy makes you nervous? There are very few things that can make you nervous, right?"
"Yes, not often, but I'm very concerned about you."
Qi Jingchen gently placed her on the massage chair and adjusted the angle for her.
Is this okay?
"Can"
Qin Zifu grabbed his hand and looked up at him, just in time to see his clear jawline, thin lips pursed, and a sharp nose above.
"Don't be nervous, it's still very young."
"Um"
He squatted down and placed his large hand on his lower abdomen. There was a small life inside such a flat abdomen.
"What's wrong? Sit on the sofa, don't squat."
Do you have any other discomfort?
"No, I've confirmed I'm pregnant, and I already know how to adjust."
"Do we need to have a blood test to confirm?"
"I'll go when I'm at work. There's no need to go specifically. I'll show it to my mom and grandma later; they didn't even know I was pregnant."
"It's too early, it's normal not to be able to tell."
"How can you be so sure? I've only not wanted to eat for two days."
Moreover, Qin Zifu had a history of not liking to eat before, so how could he be so sure that she was pregnant this time?
