Chapter 240 Should we appease the older one first or the younger one?
On the first floor, Shen Qingshu and Qin Yancheng took their seats.
Wen Jingxi silently brewed tea.
"We're all acquaintances, so I'll be frank. I hope Dr. Qin doesn't mind."
Qin Yancheng smiled helplessly, "I'm more nervous than anyone else right now, and I'm counting on you guys to give me some advice!"
"Xingxing seems to be experiencing some postpartum depression."
Qin Yancheng was taken aback.
“Memory and hormones are part of the factors, but I think the way you usually interact with her may also be related.”
Qin Yancheng is a doctor, and he knows that postpartum depression is a problem that many new mothers are facing now.
But he never imagined that Qiao Xingjia would also suffer from postpartum depression.
After all, he had done his homework thoroughly. From Qiao Xingjia's pregnancy to childbirth, he believed he had learned everything he could and done everything he could.
For a moment, Qin Yancheng was also confused.
“Xingxing used to be a staunch non-marriage advocate, let alone having children. Dr. Qin, she now feels unfree.”
Qin Yancheng frowned, a pang of sadness in his heart. "So, she's depressed because she feels that I and the child are holding her back, right?"
Shen Qingshu did not deny it, but she was also afraid that Qiao Xingjia's thoughts would hurt Qin Yancheng.
She hoped it would be clear that Qiao Xingjia liked Qin Yancheng.
Qiao Xingjia just needs more time and understanding right now.
“Dr. Qin, I know Xingxing’s idea is wrong, but the problem is that she has just regained her memory. It’s like the past Qiao Xingjia is struggling with the present Qiao Xingjia. She needs to understand and needs some time to adapt.”
Shen Qingshu looked at Qin Yancheng with a serious expression, "You may have a tough time during this period, but I still hope you can be more understanding of Xingxing. She definitely has feelings for you, but people's values cannot be changed overnight."
"I understand." Qin Yancheng sighed. "Thank you for telling me all this. I will communicate with Xingxing properly."
Qin Yancheng stood up. "I'll go upstairs and talk to her now."
Shen Qingshu nodded.
After Qin Yancheng went upstairs, Wen Jingxi lowered his voice and asked Shen Qingshu, "Do you think Xingxing will go back with Qin Yancheng?"
Yes, it will.
Wen Jingxi frowned. "Are you so sure?"
"Because worrying about her child is every mother's instinct, Xingxing is just struggling with herself, but she won't take it out on Xiaoxingchen."
"Instinct?" Wen Jingxi rolled her eyes. "Not every mother loves her child. Look at those vicious women, Zhou Yuchu and Lin Lanyi, what do they think of their children!"
Shen Qingshu frowned and gave him a reproachful look, "You're comparing them to the stars?"
Wen Jingxi: "...I was just giving a negative example!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than footsteps came from the other end of the stairs.
Qin Yancheng and Qiao Xingjia came down.
Qiao Xingjia looked reluctant and said to Shen Qingshu, "Qingshu, I'll go back first today, and I'll bring my son to stay with you tomorrow."
Shen Qingshu glanced at Qin Yancheng, who looked helpless.
She walked over and took Qiao Xingjia's hand. "I'm naturally happy that you're bringing Xiaoxingchen to play, but I hope you're coming here happy, not because you're angry, okay?"
"I know!" Qiao Xingjia replied perfunctorily, waving her hand. "Then I'll go back."
Qin Yancheng nodded to Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi, "Let's go."
Shen Qingshu said, "Okay."
Wen Jingxi: "Drive safely!"
…
Twenty minutes later, the entrance door to the bridal chamber opened.
As soon as Qiao Xingjia entered the house, she heard her son's heart-wrenching cries.
The nanny couldn't soothe Xiaoxingchen no matter how she tried.
Xiao Xingchen is exclusively breastfed. Since Qiao Xingjia is not around, the nanny had no choice but to prepare formula. However, Xiao Xingchen is very stubborn and will not eat unless it is breast milk, and will cry with her little mouth open.
Qiao Xingjia was so anxious that she didn't even bother to change her shoes. She rushed over and took her son from the nanny. "Baby, don't cry. Mommy's back..."
When Qiao Xingjia's parents learned that she had run away from home, they rushed to help.
But the three-month-old baby only recognizes breast milk, so even if they come, they can only watch helplessly.
When Qiao Xingjia returned, her mother couldn't hold back her anger and scolded her a few times.
"Qiao Xingjia, you're a mother now, and you're still running away from home! The baby's only three months old, you really have the heart to do that..."
The son's cries mingled with his mother's scolding.
Qiao Xingjia was extremely agitated and carried her son directly into the master bedroom.
The door slammed shut, as if to vent his anger.
Mrs. Qiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and became even angrier. "Look at her, she's really becoming more and more unreasonable. How come I never noticed before that this child was so unreasonable?"
Mr. Qiao frowned. "Say less. Your daughter is a mother now. Don't always treat her like a child and scold her. She needs her own space too."
"How is this my fault?" Mrs. Qiao directly confronted Mr. Qiao. "Your daughter abandoned her three-month-old son and left him without a care, and this is my fault? Old Qiao, if I may say something unpleasant, Xingxing's temper is all because of you!"
Mr. Qiao: "..."
Qin Yancheng walked over with Qiao Xingjia's slippers and said in a low voice, "Mom, don't be angry. It's my fault. Xingxing just felt wronged and wanted to go out for a walk. It's not that she doesn't care about her child."
Seeing Qin Yancheng protecting her daughter in every way, Qiao's mother felt gratified, but this also made her feel that her daughter was becoming more and more outrageous.
"She doesn't know how lucky she is," sighed Mrs. Qiao. "Well, it's good that she's back. I think she dislikes me too, so I won't keep her around in my way. Yancheng, please be more tolerant of Xingxing. Old Qiao and I will head back now."
Qin Yancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Xingxing."
Since Qiao Xingjia and Qin Yancheng got married, Qin Yancheng bought the apartment upstairs for Qiao's parents to live in, so that they could visit Qiao Xingjia.
But ever since Qiao Xingjia gave birth, Qiao's mother and Qiao Xingjia have been arguing frequently.
Mr. Qiao couldn't persuade Mrs. Qiao, and he was always implicated and scolded.
Qin Yancheng was in a difficult position, caught between his mother-in-law and his wife, trying to appease both of them. He was practically wearing his lips out from trying to persuade them.
After seeing Mr. and Mrs. Qiao off, Qin Yancheng pushed open the bedroom door.
On the large bed, Qiao Xingjia held her son, her back to the door.
The man walked in and closed the door.
Qiao Xingjia looked down at Xiao Xingchen, who was nursing and had tears still in the corners of her eyes, and felt both guilty and wronged.
Tears fell uncontrollably, landing on Little Star's forehead.
Little Star frowned.
Qiao Xingjia raised her hand and sniffed, trying not to cry, but the tears just wouldn't stop.
"Wife?"
Qin Yancheng walked up to her, placed the slippers beside her feet, and squatted down.
Qiao Xingjia turned around, her back to him, and cried out in despair, "You shameless scoundrel who took advantage of me! Where's my baby? Who gave you permission to come in?! Get out of here!"
The little star in her arms jolted, startled by her mother's loud voice, and let go of the food, bursting into tears!
Qin Yancheng: "..."
One big and one small, both howling louder than the other!
Qin Yancheng was in a bind; who should he appease first?
