Chapter 718 The handle that comes to your door
Huo Xingzhou had no intention of hiding this from her.
Come to think of it, I also want to know what Qiao Xi's reaction is to this. He trusts her, but at the same time, he is jealous.
He looked at Qiao Xi's expression, and after seeing her surprise for a moment, he continued, "His assistant saw you enter the hospital and kept asking about you. I couldn't stand it, so I went to see him. So... I told him. He's quite good at pestering people."
Qiao Xi looked at him seriously and said, "He wouldn't say anything nonsense."
"Are you so sure?"
"Ayi won't do anything to hurt me. It's okay to let him know."
Qiao Xi didn't really care about Zhong Yi knowing this.
Huo Xingzhou was very happy to see that she didn't even notice the key point.
"You should take good care of yourself during this period. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. If..." Huo Xingzhou looked at her, a complex light in his eyes, "If having a child affects your work and health, you don't have to have one. We are still young, I will pay more attention to you in the future."
At the beginning, when Qiao Xi faced Du Juan's urging for a baby, she told him to let nature take its course.
From that time on, Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou did not take any further measures.
Qiao Xi has no objection to having a baby so early.
Because she was looking forward to having a child with Huo Xingzhou.
now.
Now hearing Huo Xingzhou say these words, she looked at him in a daze.
The pair of almond-shaped eyes stared at him.
It seemed as if no one expected him to say such a thing.
Qiao Xi's voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "Aren't you looking forward to this child?"
"I am looking forward to it! But I don't want this child to disrupt all your plans. Qiao Xi, it's time for us to have a good talk about the issue of having children." Huo Xingzhou had always taken it for granted that she was looking forward to having a child.
But he didn't ask another question.
With the arrival of this child, they began to face up to this problem.
Huo Xingzhou felt that he had made a mistake.
In the business world, he calculates everything clearly.
But on this matter, I am a little timid.
Qiao Xi grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I want to keep this child."
There are indeed a lot of bad things around her now, so many that she is almost too busy to handle them all.
But Qiao Xi cherishes this hard-earned gift.
"Look, the child didn't come earlier or later, but came at this time. It means that our fate as parents has come. How can I bear to give up?" Qiao Xi understood what Huo Xingzhou meant. He was afraid that the child would become a burden.
She reached out and took his hand in hers, pulling it against her abdomen.
"After a while, there will be a heartbeat. You will also be able to feel the child's presence, and slowly it will grow up."
This is a little life.
"Xingzhou, are you a little afraid of becoming a father?"
Qiao Xi was both looking forward to having a child and a little scared.
She was afraid she wouldn't be a good mother.
This is the first time they are facing this problem, so they just need to solve it well.
"I always feel that this identity is a bit heavy. But if you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?" Huo Xingzhou pressed his palm against her abdomen. "Giving birth is a difficult time for women. I will always be with you."
"That's enough."
Qiao Xi looked at him and smiled gently.
She doesn't have a complete family.
The biological father is vicious and the mother is negligent.
I only have grandma to rely on, but other family members can never replace the responsibilities of my parents.
So she longed for her own family.
She wants a happy and stable family where the three of them can live an ordinary life.
Fill the void in your heart.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his eyes and gently rubbed her abdomen. It was as if a weak electric current passed through his heart, a magical feeling.
The feeling of blood connection.
It was as if there was a thread tying him and Qiao Xi together, and it seemed that they would never be able to completely sever the connection in this life.
Qiao Xi leaned sideways, resting her head on his shoulder and said, "The fever has subsided. I want to be discharged from the hospital."
"The doctor said he's been overworked lately and needs to recuperate for two days."
"But I still have Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Qingnian to take care of at home, so I can't get away."
"Are you still thinking about making medicinal food for Zhong Yi?"
Qiao Xi felt a little guilty. "I do have this idea, but I need to ask someone else to take him to the hospital for me. His body has been severely damaged. If he is not repaired in time, his life span will be shortened. I don't want him to finally get to where he is today, only to be dragged down by his body again."
"You have so many people to take care of, why don't you think about taking good care of yourself?"
Huo Xingzhou looked at her helplessly.
Qiao Xi lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."
"You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but you don't have to take special care of them. Take a break for two days before doing anything else. Grandpa Cheng's condition is stable and his life will not be in danger. Cheng Qingnian's illness can't be cured in a short time. As for Zhong Yi..."
When talking about Zhong Yi, Huo Xingzhou felt a little angry.
"You can give the medicinal food to Xiaoyuan and take a look at it yourself. After it's ready, have the bodyguards send it to the hospital. After you go home in the next few days, you can rest in bed. I haven't told Sun Weimeng and Jiaojiao about your pregnancy yet. You can tell them if you want."
"I won't tell you for now. Let's wait until things stabilize."
Qiao Xi was afraid that it was just a false happiness, so she decided to take good care of the baby in the first three months.
If Jiaojiao knew, then her mother-in-law would definitely know.
"Are you full?"
"Um."
"You can get up and walk around a bit to help digest the food. I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you lie down and sleep directly."
Qiao Xi was very obedient and nodded.
She threw back the quilt, took Huo Xingzhou's hand and stood up, walking slowly back and forth in the ward.
She was still thinking about the free clinic at the end of the month.
…
The next few days.
Qiao Xi was forced to stay in bed for a period of time. When her family asked her about it, they said that she was weak and needed recuperation.
The Chinese Medicine Association is also quiet and no one is making trouble.
The imperial capital was completely filled with news about the Zhong family.
It is rumored that Zhong Lingxiao will become the next heir, and this will be known in the first month of the lunar calendar year.
When Zhong Yi was in the hospital, the old man of the Zhong family never showed up.
Outsiders speculated that they had completely lost hope in him, so no one went to visit him.
Zhong Lingxiao is very high-profile, attending banquets everywhere and is sought after by many people!
Lin Xifei beside him also rose in status.
Zhong Yi saw that the situation was hopeless and many of his projects had been targeted by Zhong Lingxiao.
Many people lament that illegitimate children are not as good as legitimate children, because the illegitimate child was brought back to continue the family line.
Now it has no value at all!
In the study of the Huo family villa.
Qiao Xi poured Huo Xingzhou a glass of lemonade, placed it next to him, and said, "Do you think Ayi has a chance of turning things around this time? If he loses, it means our Huo family has lost. The Zhong and Pei families will definitely deal with us next."
She frowned.
Huo Xingzhou turned to look at her, reached out his hand to smooth her brow and said.
"Originally, I might not have been so sure, but...some people were too complacent and wanted to give me some leverage."
"What handle?" Qiao Xi asked puzzledly.
Huo Xingzhou took out a manila envelope and handed it to her.
