Jiang Yingchi: "..."
He couldn't refute this explanation.
However, when he bit down just now, he used a bit of biting force, and the blue mark on his thumb is evidence of that. Ning Qiluo was too embarrassed to admit it, so she stuck to him and kissed him, and also kissed his thumb.
"A kiss will make it hurt less."
These words truly touched his heart.
However, with her so ingratiating manner, he was tempted to pretend to be in pain.
The two spent the entire afternoon in the vegetable garden on the east side, and no one came to disturb them.
...
Three days before her due date, Ning Qiluo was admitted to the hospital.
Her belly wasn't alarmingly large; even now, as she's about to give birth, it only looks like a round watermelon. In her mother's words, Ning Qiluo was very lucky; she didn't suffer at all during her first pregnancy, and her condition was excellent throughout. This baby will definitely be very caring in the future.
In short, this baby looks more like Jiang Yingchi.
With only one day left until her due date, Ning Qiluo's belly still showed no signs of labor.
The doctor said everything was normal, and the symptoms were normal. He only suggested that Ning Qiluo move around a little, which would be very beneficial for childbirth.
After the activity, Ning Qiluo was very tired, so she lay on the bed to rest. Her phone rang, and her mother, Ning Fengmian, picked it up for her. She saw the words "Skilled in Dance" displayed on the screen.
Ning Fengmian asked, "Who is Shanwu?"
Ning Qiluo had just lain down when she was visibly stunned when she heard her mother say the words "Shanwu".
Ning Fengmian also noticed the strange expression on Ning Qiluo's face. Afraid that her mother would guess, Ning Qiluo smiled slightly and reached out to take the phone: "My friend."
Ning Fengmian suspiciously handed the phone to Ning Qiluo: "I don't know any of your friends in Beicheng. Are they from the same circle?"
Normally, Ning Fengmian wouldn't ask about this, but during this crucial period, she was also nervous, so she asked one more question, fearing that someone might affect her daughter's delivery, especially that persistent woman from the Sheng family.
"Um."
Ning Qiluo responded, having already obtained her phone.
The screen was still flashing, and the words "Shan Wu" (善舞, meaning "good at dancing") appeared before Ning Qiluo's eyes.
"Skilled in dancing, skilled in dancing, with long sleeves that are skilled in dancing"—that's all she meant. She saved her contact information like that just in case they deleted her. She didn't want to lose contact with Sheng Changxiu, although she didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she had developed Stockholm syndrome from being tormented by Sheng Changxiu.
She answered the phone in front of Qi's mother: "Hello."
When she answered the phone, she thought that if Sheng Changxiu went too far again, she would give the phone to her mother.
"Hey, Qi Luo."
Sheng Changxiu's voice came through the receiver, still as gentle as ever.
She asked her, "Qi Luo, we haven't been in touch for a long time. Are you having a baby?"
Ning Qiluo hadn't heard Sheng Changxiu's voice for a long time, and hadn't seen her for even longer. She hadn't complied with any of Sheng Changxiu's outrageous requests back then, and had thought that Sheng Changxiu would keep causing her trouble.
But later, Sheng Changxiu seemed to disappear.
Now that she's about to give birth, Sheng Changxiu called her at just the right time. What is she up to?
"Qi Luo, don't overthink it this time. The reason I called you around the time you're giving birth is very simple."
The voice coming through the receiver from Sheng Changxiu was exceptionally gentle, making it impossible for anyone to suspect that she might have any ill intentions.
At this moment, Ning Fengmian noticed the change in Ning Qiluo's expression and slowly realized that the person who made this call might not be an ordinary friend.
"Skilled in dancing...skilled in dancing..." Ning Fengmian felt something was off.
Ning Qiluo suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach. Could it be that she was about to give birth? Good heavens, Sheng Changxiu's phone call was even more effective than a labor-inducing injection.
But she didn't dare to take it lightly and asked her, "What's the reason?"
Sheng Changxiu said, word by word, "I wish you a safe delivery and your child a healthy growth."
Perhaps because her expectations differed greatly from reality, Ning Qiluo couldn't believe that Sheng Changxiu's words came out of her mouth.
All along, Sheng Changxiu had nothing but pressure and pressure on her, never saying a kind word. Every time they met, they would argue. In short, Sheng Changxiu would do everything she could to make her life miserable.
But this time...
"What are you up to?" Ning Qiluo asked her in a low voice, enduring the dull pain in her stomach.
Sheng Changxiu's voice was very gentle, even gentler than before, which made Ning Qilu feel a little dazed.
She heard Sheng Changxiu say, "I just don't want to end up with two lives lost, so this time, I wish you well. Also, we may never see each other again. It's rare for me to be so kind to you, aren't you grateful?"
Ning Qiluo: "..."
