Chapter 22: Indeed Pregnant
Coming from the mouth of a boss, these words really sound like an invitation to work overtime.
If you fail to show up at the clinic within half an hour of the scheduled appointment, your appointment will be invalid and you will have to register and queue again.
She had seen the number of people who had made appointments for medical treatment at noon today, and it was not a small number at all. Moreover, the department would basically ask them to go for examinations, and after the report came out, they would have to see the doctor again, which would only delay the time.
Therefore, if she went there to make another appointment later, there was a high probability that she would not be able to get a date during the day, which meant that she had to choose another time, after all, considering what the doctor said last time and what she checked herself later.
The results of the examination will be more efficient and accurate if it is conducted during the day, which is also an important reason why she chose to conduct this examination during the day.
Besides, the time slot later today was the best one she had picked out among all the free time slots.
"Well, I've finished all the other work." Thinking of this, Jiang Qin didn't hesitate any longer. She looked into Huo Sili's eyes and quickly made up an excuse, "However, after I deliver the documents, I plan to go directly to Lele. We agreed to go to her house for hot pot today."
Horsley nodded slightly, "That's it."
Jiang Qin hummed, trying to read some of Huo Sili's emotions from his dark eyes, but the fact was that she couldn't understand what he was thinking at the moment, so she just followed what she had said.
"Yeah, that's it."
In fact, originally on Tuesday afternoon, each department of the Huo company would reduce some work arrangements and have team-building meals, or organize internal activities within the department, such as distributing afternoon tea and holding tea parties, etc., to relax everyone and cheer them up at the same time.
The purpose of doing this is to be in a better state to work next time.
This event every Tuesday is an old tradition at the Huo headquarters.
In addition, the Huo headquarters originally had a flexible working system, and there was no requirement for employees to stay until six o'clock to leave work. On the contrary, as long as the work was done and things were handled well and they felt there was no problem, they could leave work.
The reason why she usually gets off work at six o'clock on weekdays is simply because she has a lot of things to deal with in her position, coupled with her relationship with Horsley, and her life is indeed very monotonous.
She left too early and didn't know where to go, that's why.
With these prerequisites in place, Jiang Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with him saying that he was going to have hotpot with Su Lejia later.
Seeing Huo Sili didn't say anything, Jiang Qin felt a little upset. She waited for two seconds and saw that he clearly wanted to say something, but still didn't say it. Jiang Qin opened her mouth to ask, thinking that if he didn't say anything, she would leave.
At this moment, Horsley spoke up, "Then, wait for me, take me with you?"
Jiang Qin's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of her lips almost couldn't hold back a silent smile.
What did he say? He said he wanted to go to Su Lejia's place with her to eat hotpot?
Not to mention that her excuse was just made up, and she hasn't even put it together with Su Lejia, so it's true.
Why did he think she would take him?
Jiang Qin smiled and refused, "No, Mr. Huo, Lele asked me out, there are only two of us, you are a man, it's not good."
After saying this, Jiang Qin, who had been counting the time in her mind, no longer cared about Huo Sili's reaction.
I quickly said, "If Mr. Huo has nothing else to say, I'll leave."
After saying that, he turned around quickly and walked towards the inner exit.
Just as she was about to step out of the door, Huo Sili's calm voice called her again, and Jiang Qin turned back with a unhappy expression.
Huo Sili: "Uncle Zhou called me this morning."
Uncle Zhou usually calls with important matters. Thinking of Old Mrs. Huo, Jiang Qin's dissatisfaction disappeared. However, seeing Huo Sili like this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart. When did this guy become so slow in speaking? Like squeezing toothpaste.
"What did Uncle Zhou say on the phone?" But as he was thinking this, Jiang Qin had already asked.
Although she was extremely anxious because she was afraid of missing her appointment, her cool and pretty face showed no sign of anxiety when she spoke, instead she looked calm and composed.
Horsley stood up from the leather executive chair behind the mahogany desk and looked at her from a distance when she turned back.
"Uncle Zhou told me that grandma will randomly check us via video tonight to see if we are eating at the same table."
Jiang Qin: "What did you say?"
It’s no wonder that Jiang Qin wasn’t sure if she had heard it correctly.
Because it is really too surprising.
Old Mrs. Huo never cared about her and Horsley, and on Sunday, the old lady looked as if she believed Horsley's words and never mentioned it again afterwards.
And wasn’t there no such procedure on Monday, which was yesterday? Why so sudden?
Jiang Qin was indeed puzzled, but looking at Huo Sili's expression, he was obviously in a difficult situation as well.
"So, after you and your bestie finish eating hotpot today, come back as soon as possible. I can delay until eight at most. You know, grandma's health..."
Old Mrs. Huo is the key to the box that holds Jiang Qin’s soft emotions.
Jiang Qin frowned. After hearing what Huo Sili said, how could she not respond?
Jiang Qin glanced at Huo Sili, and although her voice was flat, she finally agreed.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be back as soon as possible before eight."
At the hospital, due to the delay caused by Horsley, when Jiang Qin arrived, she almost missed the appointment time.
But fortunately, it was almost there and we didn't miss it.
After seeing the doctor this time, Jiang Qin's intuition was confirmed.
She is indeed pregnant.
"Should I keep it or abort it?" the doctor asked immediately.
Jiang Qin barely hesitated, "Stay."
Hearing about the request, the doctor, who had been lukewarm until now, became noticeably enthusiastic. She introduced the precautions during pregnancy to her and added that prenatal checkups were a must and she couldn't be lazy.
When Jiang Qin came out, she went to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of lutein tablets and replaced the bottle of folic acid tablets prescribed by the doctor.
After coming out of the pharmacy, Jiang Qin sent a message to Su Lejia, whom she had told about the situation while waiting for the test results.
Just as she started, a white BMW honked at her on the road ahead.
A few minutes later, the car stopped. Seeing Jiang Qin about to get on the passenger seat, Su Lejia's heart tightened.
"My dear, go behind the driver's seat! The passenger seat is the most dangerous!"
Jiang Qin thought about it and got into the back seat obediently. As soon as the car door was closed, Su Lejia couldn't help but ask a question.
"No, Qinqin, that child, you...are you really planning to stay?"
On this side, at the Huo headquarters, Huo Sili walked out from behind his desk.
The phone was close to his ear, and the old butler Zhou Fu on the other end of the call was a little surprised, "Second Young Master, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Huo Sili's voice was as calm as usual. "Well, around 7:30 tonight, tell grandma to call me on video and tell her that she wants to know if Qinqin and I have had dinner together. Ask her to call to check."
