This is something that would have been difficult for two people to do five years ago; it requires time to mature and social experience.
Qin Zifu quickly understood and relaxed.
No wonder people nowadays prefer dating older men or "uncles"—they really do offer emotional support.
"Neither of us was at our best back then, but we are now, so now is just right."
"Yes, my brother successfully comforted me, and I was convinced."
"Does that make you feel better?"
"Yes, I'm much happier."
"How can I repay my brother?"
"How does brother want to repay me?"
"Listen to me?"
"All you've given me is bitterness, nothing else."
Qin Zifu couldn't think of anything else; she could always steer the conversation back to this.
"Not this time, but if the baby wants, big brother can accompany him."
"Unexpectedly, my period started."
"when?"
Qi Jingchen reached down and indeed felt something under her padding.
I just found it after taking a shower.
"I was wondering why you didn't leave your underwear for your brother. I thought you were upset and wouldn't let me wash them."
"Isn't it good that you don't have to wash it? There are even people vying to do the work!"
"No, you were angry the last time you wouldn't let me wash, and you took away my right."
"Do your parents know that their son, the president of Qi's Group, washes my underwear every day?"
"I don't know, but I don't mind if they know. Who knows what will happen between the two of them? Nobody cares about our little things."
"There's no need to let them know."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Now, let's talk about the reward."
Qi Jingchen held her hand and played with it. She was quite thin, but her hands were soft and fleshy.
"Then you tell me."
"It needs to be legal, baby."
"legitimate?"
"Does the baby only need a wedding ceremony and not a marriage certificate?"
"Of course I wouldn't think that way."
There are all sorts of ways to get married these days, but in Qin Zifu's mind, only having a marriage certificate is a legally recognized marriage; the wedding ceremony is just a ritual.
"So when is that possible?"
"Anytime, I can go back."
This is not a big deal; it's a natural progression for both of them.
"Okay, I'll arrange it. You need to go pick up your household registration booklet."
"Okay, brother, I'll get our marriage certificate as soon as we get back. You think I'll run away?"
"I'm not afraid anymore, but I want to go faster."
"I'll listen to you."
Qin Zifu lay on top of him, looking somewhat listless.
"What's wrong?"
"I have a bit of a stomachache."
"Hmm? It hurts? Because of your period?"
"It should be"
"Didn't you never experience pain before?"
"Hmm, it didn't hurt before, maybe I've been too tired these past few days."
"You ate too much cold food. I remember you had your period two days early this month; you've been a bit excessive these past few days."
"It's too hot taking wedding photos, it's a bit uncomfortable."
The summers in this city are so hot. These past few days I've been running around taking wedding photos. Some of the clothes are too big and stuffy, and I'm constantly sweating. If it weren't for the makeup that prevents it from fading, my makeup wouldn't have lasted.
So these past few days she's had iced drinks with her at all times, the refrigerator in her van is stuffed full of milk tea, drinks and fruit, and the air conditioning in the van is set very low. Even though she, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, knows this isn't good, she just can't stand the heat. The lining of her wedding dress is so wet it's sticking to her legs, it's thick, hot and heavy.
The key point is that Qi Jingchen couldn't help himself either; he kept drinking too, though he didn't drink much beverages, just iced water and iced coffee.
He deeply regretted agreeing to Qin Zifu's suggestion of a special forces-style wedding photoshoot. Why couldn't they have taken the photos while traveling and enjoying life? Why insist on a special forces theme…
"Let me rub your skin and cover you with the blanket."
The room was air-conditioned the whole time, and she was wearing a slip dress.
Qin Zifu went to the bathroom to change into pull-up diapers, then lay on the bed obediently covered herself with the blanket, waiting for him to come and rub her stomach.
She had never experienced menstrual cramps since her first period, which is why she dared to be so reckless. Little did she expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
"You can't eat like that anymore, understand?"
"Um, please stop talking to me. My stomach already hurts, and I'll cry if you keep talking."
"Sweetie, I wasn't scolding you. It's my fault. I didn't mind you drinking something cold."
Qi Jingchen kissed the top of her head; how could he bear to say anything to her?
"Sweetie, go to sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow."
"Um"
Qin Zifu leaned closer to him, not knowing how long he massaged her before she fell asleep. It wasn't actually very painful, but she had never felt uncomfortable before, so this time she became a little fussy.
Qi Jingchen let her act coquettishly and cooperated with her. He especially liked Qin Zifu's charming appearance, and at times like these, he felt particularly needed.
After a good night's sleep, Qin Zifu felt much better when she woke up in the morning.
They were heading back to their home country in the morning, so everyone was already having breakfast in the main building's living room.
Just as they finished eating, Ruan Na came in. In just two days, her complexion had improved a lot, and her face had become rosier.
"Miss Qin, actually I haven't vomited since I got back, but I do dry heave when I'm hungry. Eating something relieves it immediately. Could you take another look and see if I need another injection?"
"Let's do it again."
Qin Zifu and An Ning led people upstairs to give her acupuncture. She was already considered to be cured, but it would be good to stabilize her condition.
"Take good care of yourself these next few months and don't worry too much. The baby is very healthy and resilient; don't think of the baby as fragile."
Okay, thank you.
"I'll change the prescription later, and after another half month of taking the medicine, I'll get through the first three months, and the pregnancy will be more stable."
"Okay, I'll drink it properly when I get back."
While waiting for the injections to be administered, everyone chatted casually for a while, mostly about knowledge related to pregnancy maintenance and care, so that Ruan Na, who was pregnant for the first time, could learn more.
"Ms. Qin hasn't had any children yet, has she? She looks very young."
"Yes, just call me Zifu. I haven't given birth yet, and I'm not married."
"Oh, so the man sitting with you downstairs is your fiancé?"
"Yes, my fiancé."
"I saw him at a banquet in Hong Kong before, but we didn't say hello. I wish you happiness."
"Thank you, it's time to remove the needles."
"Okay, I was a little nervous during my first injection, but I'm much better now."
"Don't worry"
After the needles were removed, the group went downstairs.
"Ms. Qin, these are some gifts my wife and I prepared to thank you for your help."
"No need for the gift, don't be so formal."
"We are truly grateful; otherwise, I might not have been able to keep this child."
"It's alright, Fufu, just accept it. Don't be polite with him; his family is very wealthy."
An Ning helped Qin Zifu accept it.
"Then I'll accept it."
"This is just a small gift, nothing more. We'll visit you in the capital sometime in the future."
"Okay, you're welcome anytime."
"Then we won't disturb you any longer."
After seeing the two off, they prepared to leave as well. The group returned to Qi's branch office first. Li Wen had already been taken there, and the private jet was already on Qi's helipad.
Qi Jingchen went back to the branch office and met with Tian Heng, accompanied by Qin Zifu. He had already learned from Li Wen how good his boss was to Miss Qin, and that his boss finally had someone he liked.
So he was very happy to see Qin Zifu and came over with a big grin.
