Chapter 55 A Man Relying on His Child's Power
Jiang Qingying slept fitfully for a while, and when she woke up it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Her phone vibrated beside her ear. She picked it up and saw it was a message from the group chat "The CEO and Her Two Fairies." Nan Chun had posted a self-driving tour route in Sichuan and Tibet.
Nan Chun: [So? Tempted?]
Nan Chun: [My last film was shot in Tibet, and I wanted to do it again with you guys back then.]
Lin Tingwan: [I think it's good.]
Lin Tingwan: [The snow-capped mountains and the starry sky would make for amazing photos!]
Jiang Qingying suddenly remembered that the Lunar New Year was just a month away, and every year during this holiday period, the three of them would go on a trip together.
But this year it seems...
Jiang Qingying looked down at her still-flat abdomen, pursed her lips and thought. Three months ago, the pregnancy was not stable, and even traveling to ordinary places was not guaranteed, let alone a more challenging place like the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
Nan Chun and Lin Tingwan were having a lively discussion in the group, and she couldn't bear to interrupt them. She waited until they calmed down before speaking.
What should we say?
Jiang Qingying typed and deleted repeatedly in the chat box. After thinking for a long time, she sent a Crayon Shin-chan emoji sitting with his back to the wall.
Nan Chun: [? ? ?]
Lin Tingwan: [???]
Nan Chun: [When did you start sending these kinds of emojis?]
Lin Tingwan: [Yeah, aren't you always the type to say whatever comes to mind?]
Nan Chun: [Are you unable to find the time before the Lunar New Year?]
Lin Tingwan: [That's alright, we can go after the New Year.]
Jiang Qingying always makes time to go on the annual group tour, no matter how busy she is, and she won't let her work spoil their fun.
Jiang Qingying frowned and typed three words in the chat box.
Not lending money: [I already have it.]
It took thirty seconds for the first new message to appear.
Lin Tingwan: [What's wrong with you?]
Nan Chun: [It can't be...]
Not lending money: [Okay.]
I don't want to lend money: [I'm pregnant.]
After sending these three messages, Jiang Qingying seemed to be able to hear the sharp explosions from the two people through the phone. After waiting for a minute, the phone rang; it was a group video call.
Upon pressing the call button, Lin Tingwan's impassioned and high-pitched voice rang out first.
"You're pregnant?!"
Jiang Qingying's eardrums felt like they were going to burst. She held the phone away in disgust, saying, "Can you please keep your voice down? You're going to scare the child to death."
Lin Tingwan realized she had made a blunder and quickly lowered her voice, "What happened?"
Jiang Qingying looked at the two curious people on the screen and felt a sudden surge of nervousness. She pouted and said, "I found out this morning. It's been a month."
Nan Chun gasped, "My goodness, don't you guys use any protection?"
"I did it." Jiang Qingying's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she wasn't very comfortable. "It was an accident. It must have broken halfway through."
Lin Tingwan: "..."
Nan Chun: "......"
Jiang Qingying sighed. After taking a nap, she still couldn't quite accept the fact that she was pregnant.
Looking at Jiang Qingying's expression, Lin Tingwan cautiously probed, "Then...then should we give birth to it?"
Jiang Qingying blinked slowly and asked her in return, "If you were pregnant, wouldn't you have another child?"
Lin Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then put herself in Song Mingxu's shoes. If she were to become pregnant unexpectedly, no matter how much she wanted to, she would still give birth to the child. Moreover, she did not rule out having a child with Song Mingxu.
"What does Lu Jinyuan think?" Nan Chun asked.
“Of course he wants it,” Jiang Qingying rolled her eyes and retorted, “It’s not like he’s the one who gave birth to it.”
Nan Chun nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
"Anyway, I can't go on the road trip," Jiang Qingying said apologetically. "Why don't you two go instead?"
Lin Tingwan was displeased upon hearing this, and frowned: "How can that be? How can we be without you? We won't drive ourselves."
Nan Chun chimed in, "That's right, that's right. You can go somewhere else, as long as you don't get too tired."
"Isn't it because someone's paying the bill?" Jiang Qingying bluntly pointed out the truth, but she was touched by their consideration. "Jiang's has a winter-friendly bed and breakfast experience in the south. Are you interested?"
Lin Tingwan: "What kind?"
"Hmm... there are quite a few projects, including hot springs in the mountains, tea tasting around a fire, camping, cycling, and so on." Jiang Qingying scrolled through her phone and sent the promotional post that the project team had made a while ago to the group. "I'll post the details in the group."
Nan Chun browsed through the information and gradually became interested: "It's not bad. This feeling of being surrounded by nature is very relaxing."
Jiang Qingying boasted, "Of course, how could any of the projects under my management be bad?"
"Oh dear, oh dear..." Lin Tingwan laughed out loud, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Lu Jinyuan sure you're comfortable with you going?"
Jiang Qingying: "What right does he have to control me?"
Nan Chun suggested, "Why don't we invite him too, and then Wanwan can bring Song Mingxu along as well."
Lin Tingwan thought it was good, but then she thought, "What about you? You're all alone."
"As for me..." Nan Chun pretended to think deeply for a moment, then smiled and said, "President Jiang, just give me a few male models then."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jiang Qingying looked down on her. "You just take every opportunity to fleece me."
“President Jiang has plenty of money.” Nan Chun smiled and joked, “If not, I’ll just go and meet him by chance. With my looks, I can grab any handsome guy on the street and he’ll come with me. Anyway, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Jiang Qingying & Lin Tingwan: "......"
Jiang Qingying then realized that she and Lu Jinyuan had never traveled together before. They were usually too busy with work, and even their honeymoon was canceled because of work.
Will he go on this trip with her?
During this special period, if he doesn't go, will he feel at ease letting himself go out and have fun?
Therefore, Jiang Qingying planned to rely on the baby's power and not care what he thought. Whoever was pregnant was the most important, and whoever was pregnant had to listen to him!
