Chapter 450 Lin Xiaoyue's Entanglement
Qi Mingxuan wasn't in good spirits and fell asleep shortly after lying down.
After she fell asleep, Han Mingyu got up and went outside the ward.
Having just witnessed that scene, Anmi felt somewhat awkward facing Han Mingyu now.
Han Mingyu, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "You should go back to the company first. I'll keep watch over things here."
Anmi nodded: "Okay."
"Wait a minute," Han Mingyu called out to her.
"Mr. Han, is there anything else you need?"
"If you have some free time in the next couple of days, please put together a set of notes for me."
Anmi frowned. "Notes? What notes?"
"You've been with her for so many years, you should know her pretty well, right?"
Anmi understood instantly.
"I am quite familiar with Ms. Qi's daily eating habits, and I am also responsible for her outfits for business banquets."
"Very good, then please make a detailed note for me based on what you know."
Anmi: "Okay."
...
After Anmi left, Han Mingyu called home.
When Han's parents learned that Qi Mingxuan was pregnant, they were overjoyed and couldn't wait to rush to the hospital.
Han Mingyu stopped him, saying that Qi Mingxuan was experiencing some pregnancy symptoms and needed to rest.
Upon hearing this, Han's mother felt heartbroken: "Although it is a great joy for Xiaoxuan to be pregnant with her second child, her body is still so weak. It will definitely be much more difficult for her than for the average person."
Han Mingyu frowned. "I will try my best to take good care of her."
"You!" Han's mother didn't even want to scold him anymore. "You're lucky. This child came to your aid at the crucial moment. Mingyu, you must cherish this opportunity. Xiaoxuan was able to forgive you and choose to keep the child. She must have gone through a lot of internal struggle. Actually, she's just soft-hearted. If it weren't for this child, she definitely wouldn't have forgiven you."
"I know," Han Mingyu said in a low voice, "Mom, I really will change."
"Alright, since you young people have spoken so frankly, we elders are naturally happy that the marriage won't end in divorce." Han's mother asked, "Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?"
"The fetus is doing well. Let's observe it for a while. If Xiaoxuan has no health problems, she can be discharged from the hospital."
"That's good. I was thinking that since she's pregnant now, why don't you move to Hanlou? That way, I can help take care of her more often."
"You'll have to ask Xiaoxuan about that," Han Mingyu said. "Also, she might want to continue working. As long as her health permits, I will respect her decision as much as possible."
Hearing her son's words, Han's mother couldn't help but tear up. "You brat, it seems you've really figured it out. That's the right thing to do. Pay more attention to Xiaoxuan's needs. That's the awareness a good husband should have."
Han Mingyu smiled and said, "Mom, I'll hang up now."
"Okay, feel free to call me anytime if you need my help."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Han Mingyu stood outside the ward for a moment, then called Guan Shuo again.
"Let's put the new company launch plan on hold."
On the other end, Guan Shuo asked in surprise, "President Han, are you serious?"
"Um."
"But if the new company doesn't go through with it, what about Miss Lin..."
"She'll just make up some excuse."
Guan Shuo was troubled. "Miss Lin has been asking me about you these past few days. I feel like she's getting desperate. If she finds out you're canceling the new company, I reckon she'll go straight back to China to find you."
"Then let's find a way to confiscate her documents so she can't come back."
Guan Shuo was shocked. "You mean you want to exile Miss Lin abroad?"
“If she can guarantee that she will never return to China, then I will be responsible for her basic living needs abroad.”
"I understand." Guan Shuo paused, then asked, "What should we say to Madam?"
"If your wife asks, just say that Lin Xiaoyue has immigrated abroad and has no contact with me anymore."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Han Mingyu rubbed his temples.
Hopefully, Lin Xiaoyue will be sensible.
…
Qi Mingxuan stayed in the hospital for one night and felt much better.
The next day, Han Mingyu took her back to the Han family home.
Upon arriving home, they first went to Hanlou to share the good news with several elders.
Grandpa Han and Grandma Han were very happy and prepared a large red envelope for Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan didn't want to accept it, but the old man said it was a lucky red envelope for their great-grandson and she had to accept it so that the great-grandson could be born safely and healthily.
Although she didn't know if there was such a custom or etiquette, since her elders had said so, Qi Mingxuan couldn't refuse any longer.
Mr. and Mrs. Han also gave red envelopes, and Mrs. Han also gave Qi Mingxuan a set of jewelry.
"Pregnancy and childbirth are very difficult for women. Xiaoxuan, thank you for staying in the Han family and for keeping this child. Please keep this set of jewelry."
Qi Mingxuan frowned: "Mom, you keep it for yourself, I don't need it."
“I’m already quite old, keeping all this jewelry isn’t very practical. You’re still young, and you often go out to social events and banquets. You can take it; you’ll find it useful!”
"Xiaoxuan, please accept this. It's just a small token of our appreciation from your elders. If you don't accept it, it would be like you're treating us like outsiders."
Qi Mingxuan had no choice but to accept it. "Thank you, Mom."
"No need for thanks, I'll be happy if you accept it." Han's mother stopped her hand and asked again, "Have you asked the doctor if there's anything I should be careful about?"
"The doctor said the fetus is developing well, and I'm doing okay except for occasional nausea and vomiting."
"So what are your plans for work?"
"I'm in my second trimester at 12 weeks, and the baby is stable. I'm thinking of continuing to work at Ronghao until my belly gets bigger, then I'll take a break."
"That's good. It will make your work more fulfilling and time will pass faster." Han's mother looked at Han Mingyu. "Starting tomorrow, you need to do your homework properly. You need to do prenatal education and also sign up for a stay-at-home dad class. After Xiaoxuan gives birth, you'll take care of the baby!"
Han Mingyu smiled, "I've already asked Guan Shuo to buy the books. The prenatal education books will arrive later."
Qi Mingxuan looked at him with some surprise.
Han's mother was also surprised, not expecting that her son had actually come to his senses.
They already know to buy prenatal education books without me even having to urge them!
It seems they are really trying to make a change!
Han's mother felt much more at ease.
…
We had lunch at Hanlou Restaurant.
Considering Qi Mingxuan's current pregnancy nausea, Han's mother specially instructed the kitchen to prepare light and nutritious meals.
Qi Mingxuan has little appetite, mainly because her sense of taste has changed; now, most of the food she eats tastes pretty much the same.
She ate a small bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup, but then she felt she couldn't eat anymore.
Seeing her frowning and looking like she was holding back her anger, Han Mingyu asked in a low voice, "Is it because you don't like the food?"
"No," Qi Mingxuan shook her head. "It's just that everything tastes the same, and my stomach always feels full, so I can't eat much."
Hearing this, Han Mingyu squeezed her hand tenderly, "Then shall I take you back to Mingyuan to rest?"
Qi Mingxuan was indeed exhausted.
She nodded.
Han Mingyu helped her up. "Mom and Dad, Xiaoxuan isn't feeling well. I'll take her to rest first."
Upon hearing this, several elders immediately looked over with concern.
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
"I just don't have much of an appetite, mainly due to morning sickness. Don't worry, I'm taking care of you!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the elders softened slightly.
"If you can't eat, then don't eat for now. If you get hungry later and want something to eat, call Mom and she'll have the kitchen make it right away."
"Thank you, Mom." Qi Mingxuan smiled at Han's mother.
Han Mingyu put his arm around her and walked out.
Watching the two of them walk away, looking so well-matched, Han's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "These two have finally made up."
"Having a second child at this crucial moment is like having a matchmaker come to the rescue." Even Madam Han couldn't help but exclaim, "Our ancestors of the Han family have shown their divine intervention."
…
Mingyuan, second floor master bedroom.
Han Mingyu carried Qi Mingxuan upstairs from the first floor and placed her on the bed.
Qi Mingxuan lay down and looked at Han Mingyu, "Go do your thing, you don't need to stay with me all the time."
"I'll wait until you're asleep before I go out."
Qi Mingxuan turned to the side, rested her head on her hand, looked at him, and smiled, "I'm not used to you being like this."
Han Mingyu patted her head. "Wouldn't it be better to spend more time with you?"
"That's not what I meant." Qi Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "I just felt that you didn't need to be so cautious."
"You're carrying my daughter right now, so I definitely have to be careful!"
"A daughter?" Qi Mingxuan frowned. "How do you know it's a daughter?"
"I have a premonition, a premonition from the expectant father."
"What if it's a son?"
“There’s no ‘what if’,” Han Mingyu said seriously. “It’s a daughter, and she looks a lot like you.”
Qi Mingxuan blinked. "A daughter as strong-willed and unlikable as me?"
Han Mingyu's face stiffened.
Then, he stroked Qi Mingxuan's cheek and said gently, "Xiaoxuan, some of the things I said before were wrong. It was my fault. Don't take it to heart or let it affect you. You are wonderful. I love you as a person, your personality, your appearance, your figure, and everything about you. I think you are wonderful."
“I used to treat you like that too,” Qi Mingxuan said, looking at him. “But now I don’t feel that way anymore.”
Han Mingyu: "...Does that mean you don't love me as much anymore?"
"Now?" Qi Mingxuan smiled. "I certainly don't love you as much as before, after all, I've grown up. Whether I love you now, and how much I love you, depends on your behavior."
"Yes, I understand." Han Mingyu lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "This is a reminder that I need to behave well and be a dutiful husband."
Qi Mingxuan covered her mouth and yawned, her eyelids almost closing. "I'm sleepy, don't bother me."
Han Mingyu smiled helplessly, "Go to sleep."
"Um."
Qi Mingxuan responded and quickly fell asleep.
Han Mingyu got up and left the bedroom after she fell asleep.
As soon as I closed the door, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
It was a call from an overseas number.
Han Mingyu glanced at the last two digits of the number, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, and rejected the call.
The other party is not giving up and calls you again.
Han Mingyu refused again and then blacklisted the number.
He put his phone back in his pocket and turned to walk towards the study.
Just as I arrived at the study, Guan Shuo called, "Miss Lin said she has something very important to tell you, it's about your wife."
This wasn't the first time Lin Xiaoyue had used this tactic.
Tell her I'm not interested.
“But Miss Lin said…” Guan Shuo lowered his voice a few decibels, “that it concerns Madam’s reputation and innocence.”
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu tightened his grip on his phone. "What does she mean by that?"
