To Liu Jiansheng's naive question, Shen Qiaoyue lowered her head and replied, "Then you try and see if the baby is willing to respond to you."
After listening, Liu Jiansheng was eager to try and swallowed hard.
He leaned closer to her belly and whispered, "Hello, future little brother/sister?"
After asking the question, Liu Jiansheng did not receive a response, so he looked up and stared at Shen Qiaoyue.
“Maybe the baby hasn’t woken up yet. Don’t disturb him, or he’ll get angry, and Aunt Chen will be in a lot of pain,” Xu Xiaosi said to Liu Jiansheng.
Shen Qiaoyue was both amused and exasperated. In response to Liu Jiansheng's curiosity, she continued Xu Xiaosi's words, saying, "Xiaosi is right. Aunt Shen just woke up, and the baby might not be awake yet. Why don't you come and greet them later, okay?"
"Alright then?" Liu Jiansheng said, scratching his head.
Shen An'an looked around but didn't see Zhang Juanjuan. When she last visited her at the hospital, Zhang Juanjuan had lost a lot of weight, but she seemed to be in good spirits.
“Jiansheng, we haven’t seen your Aunt Juanjuan. Is she resting at home?” Shen Qiaoyue felt that Liu Jiansheng must know about Zhang Juanjuan’s recent situation.
“Aunt Juanjuan has been taken away by her family and is now living in the city. They said that once she gets better, they will take her back to her hometown so she can divorce Uncle Sandan,” Liu Jiansheng answered truthfully.
Shen Qiaoyue was shocked when she heard this.
Zhang Juanjuan's family members were very supportive.
I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't paid attention to Zhang Juanjuan's situation.
I'd like to ask more questions.
"Sister Qiaoyue." Bai Jinghao, Wang Tiantian, and Su Zhiyang came over to greet Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue nodded in response: "You're here. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"We ate. When we came here, we saw that breakfast was being cooked in the front yard, so we ate before coming over," Bai Jinghao replied.
“If there’s breakfast, I’ll have some too.” Shen Qiaoyue was hungry, so she pulled Liu Jiansheng and Xu Xiaosi over and said to them, “You guys go play with Xiaoli, I’ll go find something to eat first.”
“Okay,” Wang Tiantian replied.
As soon as Shen Qiaoyue left, Wang Tiantian turned around to go find Xia Xiaoli.
The sight of the man carrying a bag of rice captivated Wang Tiantian's heart!
This man has sharp features and a great physique.
"Jinghao, who is this person?" Wang Tiantian asked anxiously, happily pulling Bai Jinghao's arm.
Bai Jing, look closely, this isn't Li Qingming.
"This is Deputy Battalion Commander Li Qingming. He's been married and is divorced." Bai Jinghao's words poured cold water on Wang Tiantian's romantic spark.
Upon hearing that she had gotten married and then divorced, Wang Tiantian's smile gradually faded.
"I heard that before him, he had a girl he loved very much. She was from the village in front of us. His wife killed her because she wanted to marry Deputy Battalion Commander Li Qingming. She hired someone to bully the girl he loved. The girl he loved didn't want to marry the old man who bullied her, so she committed suicide."
Bai Jinghao has only been here a few days, yet she knows everything.
"This Deputy Battalion Commander Li married the man who killed the woman he loved. He spent nearly half a year finding evidence and bringing his wife to justice, thus avenging his beloved."
"My God, what an amazing love story! This man is an absolute gem!" Upon hearing this story, Wang Tiantian admired Li Qingming even more. "No wonder he seemed so melancholy; he must have lost his beloved!"
Wang Tiantian is acting like a lovesick fool again.
Su Zhiyang sighed helplessly.
He treated Wang Tiantian like his own sister, and upon hearing these words, he angrily hit Wang Tiantian on the head.
"You only see good-looking girls and don't want to let any of them go, but I've never heard of someone who actually likes someone and would risk everything for their beloved! If you're with someone like that, you'll have to bear all the pain alone!" Su Zhiyang looked at Wang Tiantian with disappointment and frustration.
Pointing at Wang Tiantian, he reminded her, "Let me tell you, your uncle told me to take good care of you. If you were here, I would have your uncle come over, take you back, and let you marry anyone you want!"
"You dare, Su Zhiyang? Don't force me to slap you!" Wang Tiantian glared angrily at Su Zhiyang.
Xia Xiaoli saw them and walked over from her house, just in time to hear what they were saying.
So that's why her cousin told her to stay away from Deputy Battalion Commander Li Qingming.
"Xiaoli, you went to the doctor yesterday, how is your foot?" Bai Jinghao was the first to notice Xia Xiaoli coming over and asked about the situation with concern.
Xia Xiaoli smiled and said, "I might not be able to work with you anymore. Aunt Wenru said I need surgery, and the recovery period will be more than three months."
"Ah! I see..." Bai Jinghao was shocked at first, then recovered and said, "Xiaoli, if your leg can get better, it's okay to give up your job now. Once your leg is healed, you won't have to worry about finding a job, right?"
Xia Xiaoli thought about it all night, and with encouragement from her family, she decided to focus on healing her leg first.
After my leg heals, I will try my best to find a job to repay my cousin and sister-in-law for their kindness.
Wang Tiantian pulled Xia Xiaoli aside and comforted her, "Xiaoli, even if we can't work together, we can still be good friends. I can come visit you when the time comes."
"Mmm." Xia Xiaoli nodded.
Several pretty girls immediately became the center of attention as soon as they appeared in the residential compound.
My mind started automatically filling in the blanks, wondering if anyone was single and could introduce me to someone.
Grandma Zhao took a liking to Wang Tiantian and even went up to her to ask if she had a boyfriend.
When Wang Tiantian heard the implication in those words—that someone wanted to introduce her to someone—she pushed Su Zhiyang forward as a shield.
Bai Jing smiled but remained silent, not responding to the topic at hand.
After finishing her meal, Shen Qiaoyue went to the hospital alone for a check-up.
It was only a ten-minute walk away, and she didn't want to trouble Lu Chen to come with her, since he needed help with the cooking for his wedding.
I went to the hospital for a checkup, and waited for more than half an hour to get the results.
The doctor reviewed the report and said there was nothing wrong. He advised Shen Qiaoyue to take good care of herself, walk around more often, massage her feet, and soak her feet.
As Shen Qiaoyue walked out of the hospital, she saw Lu Chen walking towards her.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the hospital? I was so worried because I couldn't find you."
Lu Chen searched the entire family compound but couldn't find Shen Qiaoyue, so he asked Lu He if he knew where Shen Qiaoyue had gone.
Fortunately, the child knew where Shen Qiaoyue had gone and told Lu Chen that Shen Qiaoyue had gone to the hospital.
He hurried over, worried, and saw Shen Qiaoyue walking out of the hospital.
Supported by him, Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu Chen's worried face and smiled, "I'm fine. I just thought it wouldn't be appropriate for you to come along. The hospital isn't far from the compound, so I came by myself."
Lu Chen sighed, unable to do anything about Chen Qiaoyue.
