"Don't worry, I was even thinner than her back then. She's usually very healthy, so she'll be fine."
Qin Qingwan watched as her daughter seemed carefree and happy, while her son-in-law frowned.
Qi Jingchen nodded without saying anything.
"By the way, since you're pregnant with twins, do you need to go back to the gynecology clinic with your grandma? I'm too busy right now."
"Isn't it bad to switch back right after changing departments?"
"That's alright, it's up to you. I didn't expect you to be pregnant when you were transferred to another department."
It's something she, as a mother, hadn't considered; her daughter's wedding led to her being transferred to a very busy department.
"I didn't expect this myself."
She discovered she was pregnant right after the procedure, and less than a month later, she found out it was twins. She was very confused.
"Are you still here today?"
"Here"
Qi Jingchen accompanies her to work every Saturday, and the doctors and nurses in the department have gotten used to it.
"Now I understand, when men say they don't have time, it's just an excuse."
"Exactly, isn't Manager Qi busy with such a large corporation? Yet he still sits here all day."
"The key is that when Zifu gets busy, the two of them can only meet once for lunch and then go home together in the evening. Why not come over closer to noon, have lunch together, and then go back?"
"You single dog wouldn't understand."
"Ugh, don't provoke me! If you keep provoking me, I'll go on a blind date!"
Xin Xin has been going on blind dates arranged by her family recently, and the types of men she's been set up with are incredibly diverse.
"Go ahead, it's good to get to know more people, compare them, and remember to keep your eyes open when looking for a partner."
The group chatted amongst themselves.
That evening, under the watchful eyes of the doctors and nurses, Qin Zifu left the hospital with Qi Jingchen. The two even went to the cafeteria for dinner, and it was already dark when they got home.
It gets dark very early at the end of November.
Qin Zifu took off her coat, and Qi Jingchen took it and hung it up. These days, Qin Zifu liked to wear sneakers because they were easy to put on and take off. She changed into slippers and sat on the sofa.
Are you sure you'll come every Saturday?
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you see everyone was looking at you? And some were even secretly taking pictures of you?"
It doesn't matter.
"Now everyone online is calling you the 'Waiting-for-Wife Stone'."
"..."
"Pfft, don't you know what people online are saying about you? And some are even saying you're playing the 'deeply affectionate' character?"
"What are you talking about? Do I need to create a persona?"
"Just something people said casually out of boredom."
"Then you should go back to the gynecology department."
"I've been thinking about that too. If I want to switch back later, I might have to wait until after I give birth."
I don't think you need to rush into your career.
"Why"
"I don't mean to say your career isn't important; on the contrary, I fully support your career. I just think you shouldn't rush things. You're only 23, and you'll be 24 after giving birth. Medical students your age haven't even graduated with their master's degrees yet."
"That's true, so it's important to plan your career early. Our future careers are usually determined when we're very young."
"So you're not in a hurry. We won't need to have any more children in the future, so after this baby is born, you'll have plenty of time to focus on your career."
Qi Jingchen did feel sorry for her because he saw Qin Qingwan leading the doctors on rounds, examining patients, and going into the operating room last week.
He went back and thought about it carefully. He felt that even if she took a break for the next two years, it wouldn't delay her career. He had thought about it for a few days before saying it, but she still needed to think it through herself. He was just offering a suggestion.
"Hmm, I'll think about it."
She thought about it all day. If she were an ordinary office worker, she would probably continue to work or quit because it was too hard.
This kind of person will actually have a negative impact on their career, because resigning during pregnancy may mean staying home to take care of the child, which will inevitably have some impact on finding a job after leaving the workplace.
She doesn't need to worry about these things. Whenever she comes back, she'll still be Dr. Qin. It's just that she has high expectations of herself.
However, just as Qi Jingchen said, there's no rush in these two years, and there's no need to make yourself so tired. Since becoming pregnant, she has also become lazy and often misses the days when she only worked three half-days a week.
Qin Zifu is considered one of the girls in the industry with her family background and wealth who values career planning very much.
"By the way, baby, when are you going to tell the family about the pregnancy?"
"Grandpa already knows. My brother and Shuyu mentioned it when they went back, but we still need to go over and tell them. Don't Mom and Dad know yet?"
"have no idea"
Qi Jingchen didn't say anything. Didn't she say last time that she would talk about it after the ultrasound? So he didn't say anything. Recently, the two of them haven't had time to go back.
"Okay, we'll talk about it when we get back tomorrow. Oh, and tell Dad not to go fishing in this cold weather, I can't eat any more fish."
"knew"
Qi Jingchen picked up the phone and dialed Ms. Yan Li's number.
"Hey, why are you calling at this hour?"
"I'm going back with Fufu tomorrow."
Okay, then I'll talk to your dad.
"No need for my dad to find a fishing spot anymore, Fufu doesn't want to eat."
"Don't want to eat anymore? What would you like to eat then?"
"Let's make something light, something sweet and sour."
"Okay, no problem. I'll have Auntie do it in a bit."
"Okay, that's all for now. I'll head back this afternoon."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
Qi Jingchen hung up the phone and noticed that Qin Zifu was looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
"It felt like you and Mom were strangers on the phone."
"Really? It's just normal conversation."
"A little"
"..."
night
Qin Zifu lay flat on the bed, with Qi Jingchen supporting himself on one arm and placing one hand on her stomach.
"Are there two little things inside?"
"You call them little things?"
"Are there two little babies inside?"
"Yes, isn't that amazing?"
"Is it because two eggs were released?"
"Yes, it's dichorionic diamniotic. It's strange, actually. When I was doing research abroad, I monitored ovulation for three months, and I was only releasing one egg each month. I don't know why I released two this time."
Qin Zifu found it all very amazing.
"The key point is that she got pregnant this month after having two pregnancies."
"Do you think it's possible that it's because I felt tired before the wedding, and I drank Chinese medicine for a while?"
"Possibly"
Qi Jingchen nodded. That was the only explanation he could come up with. It saved him some trouble, as two of them came out at once.
"So maybe Tuanzi is right, younger brother and younger sister."
"One of each would be best."
"I didn't even ask you whether you preferred a daughter or a son."
Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen had never discussed this topic before. They had only talked about having children, and hadn't touched on anything else that followed.
"Anything is fine, I haven't thought about that."
"Have you never thought about whether you'll have a son or a daughter?"
"No…"
Qi Jingchen shook his head. He really hadn't thought about it. What difference did it make what kind of child it was? Did it matter? As long as it was his and Fufu's child, wasn't that enough?
"Alright... hopefully one of each, and we can finish the battle in one go."
"Yes, you have that gene."
Qi Jingchen chuckled indulgently. Weren't she and Gu Dining twins? That wasn't unusual in her family.
