Chapter 407 I'll give you three more little sisters!
After a moment, she spoke: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Han Mingyu handed Xiao Niannian to Qi Mingxuan's arms. "Hold her and share in the joy of having a baby girl. We'll give Qi Yue a cute little sister like this later too."
The little girl was chubby and smelled sweet and milky when held in my arms.
Qi Mingxuan vaguely recalled what Qi Yue looked like as a child.
She looked down at her son beside her.
Qi Yue met Qi Mingxuan's gaze and frowned slightly: "Mom, don't be fooled by my dad. If we have another child, can you really guarantee it will be a sister?"
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu immediately became furious: "What are you saying, kid? Do you look down on your father? Don't even mention having another child, I could give you three more sisters without a problem."
Qi Yue pouted, "You just say you'll have a baby, but do you know how hard it is for women to give birth? My mom's health has been bad ever since she had me. She needs IV drips all the time, and her back hurts whenever the weather changes. She has to take painkillers to relieve the pain!"
Han Mingyu was taken aback and turned to look at Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan didn't look at him, but simply said, "She's hungry."
Little Niannian was indeed hungry and started whimpering in protest.
Han Mingyu didn't have time to continue the topic. He took Xiao Niannian from Qi Mingxuan and walked towards Shen Qingshu.
Qi Mingxuan watched Han Mingyu's retreating figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Han Mingyu handed Xiao Niannian over to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu carried Xiao Niannian to the lounge to find Zhang Yun.
...
In the lounge, Shen Qingshu handed Xiao Niannian to Zhang Yun.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
Shen Qingshu walked over and opened the door, where Qi Mingxuan was standing.
"Can we find somewhere to talk?"
Shen Qingshu nodded.
The two went to the empty lounge next door.
The door closed, Qi Mingxuan walked to the window, pushed it open, took out a cigarette from her pack, and slowly lit it.
She took a big drag and slowly exhaled the smoke.
After not seeing her for almost half a month, Shen Qingshu felt that Qi Mingxuan had lost weight again.
The once aloof and proud Qi Mingxuan is now a married woman. She has shed her sharp edges, put on a cheongsam, and styled her long hair, becoming gentle and charming.
But she still didn't look happy.
Qi Mingxuan took several puffs of her cigarette before her anxious and frustrated emotions gradually calmed down.
She glanced sideways at Shen Qingshu, who was standing a few steps away, and belatedly realized that Shen Qingshu probably couldn't stand the smell of smoke.
"I'm sorry." Qi Mingxuan gave a wry smile and stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray. "I was just really upset and couldn't hold it in anymore."
Shen Qingshu walked over and looked at her. "How are you doing in the Han family? Are the Han family members treating you well?"
“Every elder in the Han family is very kind, and they take good care of me.”
"What about Han Mingyu?"
“He’s doing well too. He’s a good husband and father.” Qi Mingxuan smiled. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Everything is fine now, but I have this inexplicable feeling of unease and helplessness. I feel like I’m sick.”
Shen Qingshu was convinced that her mental state had never truly improved.
She said, "If you need a therapist, I can recommend one."
Qi Mingxuan turned her head and looked Shen Qingshu up and down. "You know her?"
"My former psychologist."
Qi Mingxuan was surprised, "You..."
“It’s nothing.” Shen Qingshu smiled. “We women go through childbirth, the ups and downs of life, separation and death, and some pressures that we have to face in reality. It’s normal to have some psychological problems. Don’t be afraid of psychologists. We should help ourselves in time when we realize that there is a problem.”
Initially, Shen Qingshu also thought mental illness was terrible, and she also had times when she felt confused, depressed and helpless.
Fortunately, she found a psychologist in time.
The psychologist who provided her with psychological counseling was very good; they still keep in touch occasionally.
Qiao Xingjia's mood was also off recently, so Shen Qingshu took her to see that psychologist.
Recently, Qiao Xingjia's condition has improved, and her life with Qin Yancheng has become more and more harmonious and sweet.
Everyone's life is different, with their own pressures and challenges to overcome.
Qi Mingxuan pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Han Mingyu just said he wants to have a daughter with me."
Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised.
Isn't Han Mingyu's change a bit too fast?
"He probably just had a sudden whim because he thought Niannian was cute," Qi Mingxuan said with a bitter smile.
“Not necessarily.” Shen Qingshu analyzed, “I think he cares a lot about Qi Yue. Although Qi Yue is already 8 years old, I can see that he is trying hard to make up for Qi Yue’s shortcomings. He is trying to be a good father. Perhaps Han Mingyu doesn’t hate you that much. He is willing to have a second child with you, which means that he is changing and seriously managing your marriage.”
Should we try to make this marriage work?
Qi Mingxuan didn't think so.
After they began their intimate relationship, all she felt from Han Mingyu was a man's physical desire for a woman.
Han Mingyu doesn't love her.
If he loved her, he wouldn't have been able to treat her like that.
Qi Mingxuan's pride; Qi Mingxuan's perception; Qi Mingxuan's love; 'they' are all rejecting that kind of thing.
But Qi Mingxuan didn't know how to say these words to Shen Qingshu.
That was so embarrassing.
Her pride still wouldn't allow her to tell others about these things.
It can only be locked in my heart, kept to myself and hidden away.
"Perhaps he just likes children. The Han family has been large for generations, and he grew up in a family with many brothers and sisters. In addition, the Han family is not like our Qi family, which is full of infighting and scheming against each other. Growing up in a large family like the Han family, the brotherhood and affection between siblings are a very wonderful experience for Han Mingyu. So it is normal for him to want to have more children."
“If you don’t want to have children, I don’t think Han Mingyu will force you. You should communicate with him properly.” Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then added, “No matter why you got married, now that you’re husband and wife, you need to learn to communicate. Communication is very important for a marriage to last.”
Qi Mingxuan nodded.
Just then, Shen Qingshu's phone rang.
It was Fu Siyan calling.
Shen Qingshu answered the phone: "Ah Shu, where are you? The banquet is about to start."
"Understood, I'm with President Qi, we'll be out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu and Qi Mingxuan left the lounge and went next door to pick up Zhang Yun and Xiao Niannian.
...
The banquet didn't end until 9 p.m.
After the banquet, Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan took their three children home first.
As for Han Mingyu and Qi Mingxuan, they stayed to see off the guests, and Han's parents also stayed to help. Old Master Han and Madam Han, being of advanced age, had already returned home.
As it approached ten o'clock, all the guests had left, and Han Mingyu led Qi Mingxuan and Qi Yue back to Mingyuan.
When Qi Yue got home, he went to his room to take a shower and go to bed.
Han Mingyu drank quite a bit tonight, and his driver took him home.
As soon as he got home, Han Mingyu received a phone call, probably about work. He went upstairs and went straight to his study.
Qi Mingxuan's high heels were new tonight, and she had been standing for a long time, so her calves and toes are sore now.
She returned to her room, took off her cheongsam, quickly removed her makeup, and took a shower.
When they came out, Han Mingyu had not yet returned.
Qi Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the main light in the room, and left only a small night light on.
Then, she lifted the covers, lay down on the bed, turned to her side, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in less than half a minute because she was so sleepy.
I was half asleep when I suddenly felt short of breath, and my body felt heavy, like I was being held down by a ghost...
