Li Qingming immediately sat up in bed, tense.
"Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?" Li Qingming thought. If it wasn't pregnancy, it might just be that she hadn't had her period because she had been staying up too late.
Xia Xiaoli could only listen to Li Qingming, and was helped up from the bed by him.
After changing their clothes, they left the hotel and headed towards the hospital together. On the way, Xia Xiaoli was a little depressed, and Li Qingming kept comforting her.
The test results showed she was pregnant. Li Qingming looked at Xia Xiaoli's blank expression and silent demeanor, which frightened him.
When Xia Xiaoli looked at Li Qingming, there was a hint of gloom on her face. Being pregnant meant that she couldn't go to Beijing to study.
"Xiaoli, how about I go back and talk to my mother and ask her to take leave to accompany you and take care of you there?" Li Qingming said to Xia Xiaoli. "Even if you don't want this child, you can only have the surgery after your training is over. We're leaving for Beijing in two days."
The surgery can't be performed in time for the trip to Beijing. The only way to have the best of both worlds is to go to Beijing for training first. If you don't want the child after the training period, then you can have the surgery. This way, you can rest properly and recover your health.
Three and a half weeks pregnant, Xia Xiaoli knew that her studies were very demanding and she might miscarry if she wasn't careful. If she didn't go, she wouldn't be able to learn anything new. If she did go, she was alone in Beijing and worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of herself.
She shouldn't always trouble her mother-in-law with her affairs. Besides, her mother-in-law also has her own life and work, and she already takes good care of her daughter-in-law in daily life.
"Let's go back first," Xia Xiaoli said to Li Qingming.
On the way back, Xia Xiaoli was thinking, touching her belly and falling into deep thought.
She had been married to Li Qingming for a long time, and his family treated her very well; it was just that the child didn't arrive on time.
The bus arrived at the entrance of the residential compound.
"Xiaoli, Qingming, you're back?" Bai Le was off today and was about to take the children out to play after lunch when she saw Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli returning from outside.
Xia Xiaoli looked a little dazed, then smiled at Bai Le and said, "Yes, you're back. Where are you going?"
"Since it's a holiday, I'm taking the kids out for a walk. My husband is on duty today, so I'm taking the kids to the city to play and buy some fabric to make winter clothes for them." Since her miscarriage, Bai Le has been trying to conceive for years, but her irregular work schedule has made her less and less eager to have children.
"Then you can go ahead, I won't bother you any longer," Xia Xiaoli said.
"Then I'm leaving, Jiansheng. Say goodbye to Sister Xiaoli and Brother Qingming," Bai Le said to Liu Jiansheng.
Liu Jiansheng is now nine years old and in the fourth grade.
"Mom, say goodbye to Aunt Xiaoli and Uncle Qingming." Liu Jiansheng smiled and waved to the couple.
"You silly child!" Bai Le said, both amused and exasperated.
Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli waved goodbye to Liu Jiansheng.
After the mother and son left, Xia Xiaoli went home.
Li Qingming poured Xia Xiaoli a glass of water.
"I'll go cook first." Li Qingming could tell that Xia Xiaoli needed time to think.
“Brother Qingming, shall we talk?” Xia Xiaoli looked up at Li Qingming standing in front of her.
Looking up at him, Li Qingming nodded and sat down.
He hugged Xia Xiaoli and said, "I'll support whatever you want to do."
"Do you want me to keep the child?" Xia Xiaoli asked Li Qingming earnestly.
“This is our child, and of course I want the child to stay, but I’m not willing to gamble with your future.” Li Qingming could see that Xia Xiaoli valued her future very much and had been working very hard these days.
He saw all of this.
Xia Xiaoli only needs Li Qingming's words.
"I'll talk to Mom tonight and ask her to take leave and go to Beijing with you to take care of you. We'll have the abortion after you finish your studies." Now, even an abortion requires a period of rest; opportunities don't wait for anyone.
He didn't want Xia Xiaoli to stop because of her family.
"I've made up my mind, I'm not going." Xia Xiaoli looked at Li Qing and said, "The doctor just said that the fetus is unstable because of my lifestyle. I need to rest. After thinking it over, I've decided to stay and rest to give birth to this child."
"Xiaoli!" Li Qingming hadn't expected her to choose to keep the child.
Xia Xiaoli is not a heartless person; their relationship was an accident.
Her mother-in-law and Li Qingming treat her better than her own family. She hopes for a harmonious family, but she is only temporarily giving up the opportunity to study and not giving up her career.
The pregnancy is too early, and going to Beijing for training means working and studying at the same time in a public hospital. The workload there is even heavier than in the hospital here. If I miscarry while working, I will need to rest and won't be able to finish my studies.
If she loses her child and doesn't finish her studies, she won't be able to face herself and plans to give the opportunity to someone else.
“I don’t want you to lose such a good opportunity because of this child. The hospital letting you go proves that they have high hopes for you,” Li Qingming said, holding Xia Xiaoli’s hand with heartache.
Xia Xiaoli said, "It's okay. When Sister Xiaohua comes back, I can learn from her. She's the head nurse now, so she'll definitely teach us."
You can tell that Li Qingming is in a difficult position.
“We were going to have children sooner or later, so now that the baby is here, we’ll have it.” Xia Xiaoli felt that the arrival of this child wouldn’t cause her any loss.
Li Qingming's eyes reddened as he hugged Xia Xiaoli.
"Xiaoli, thank you." Li Qingming said, "I was such a jerk, only thinking of myself."
