Chapter 685 Mom, Dad is here for the video
No one dared to ask, not even Su Xiao. Yun Che happened to be on an overseas visit with his superiors these days, so naturally, they couldn't disturb him with such things over the phone.
Su Xiao returned to the Zhao family, and her life was peaceful and tranquil. That night, Zhao Yixuan came back from his place. His expression was no longer as sad and heavy as the last time they met, and he even joked with Su Xiao.
Su Xiao really liked this brother and couldn't help asking him, "Have you seen your sister-in-law since you came back? Why didn't you go pick her up from get off work? Her belly is already very big."
"It's okay, she is very capable, and she has a special driver to pick her up and drop her off at get off work." Zhao Yixuan said calmly.
"Well, a professional driver is no match for a husband like you. Don't let your sister-in-law hear this, or she'll cry to death."
"Tsk, do you think she is you? She cries at every turn. She won't cry."
"You are such an idiot. I can't explain it to you clearly. It's still early and your sister-in-law should not have gotten off work yet. You can still pick her up there. Go quickly." Su Xiao simply pushed him away.
Zhao Yixuan didn't move. Instead, he grabbed her hand and grumbled, "Zhao Xinhui, that's enough. I, your brother, came back specially to see you. You don't have to push me away even if you don't want to see me. Then I won't come back next time. Don't say I don't care about you."
"Uh..." Su Xiao really didn't think that this was the reason why he came back.
He holds an important position and is very busy every day. He usually comes back for meetings or other important trips, but he actually came back specifically to see him.
But from his sincere expression, she believed it and her heart was deeply moved.
"How about it? Now you know I'm good to you." Zhao Yixuan couldn't help teasing her when he saw that she was about to cry.
"Well, it's really nice to have you love me so much."
"Then you dare to push me away?"
"I..." Su Xiao paused, and before she could say anything, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
It’s my sister-in-law!
Su Xiao quickly stepped forward and greeted her, "Sister-in-law, you're back so early today?"
Qu Si's attitude towards Su Xiao was lukewarm. They had few opportunities to talk in the past two days. This was the second time Su Xiao saw the pregnant Qu Si, but Su Xiao felt that Qu Si's attitude today seemed even colder.
Why?
Could it be that her sister-in-law heard what she and her brother just said?
But there was nothing wrong with those words. Anyone who was not a fool could tell that they were mostly jokes, not to mention that my sister-in-law was very smart.
As a husband, Zhao Yixuan couldn't remain indifferent even if they didn't love each other. He immediately stepped forward and asked Qu Si, "Are you not busy at work today?"
Qu Si looked at him thoughtfully for a few seconds and replied, "I went for a prenatal checkup and came back on the way."
Prenatal check-up?
Today?
Since Qu Si became pregnant, Zhao Yixuan, her husband, has not actually accompanied Qu Si for many prenatal checkups because he is sometimes busy with work. He doesn't even know when Qu Si has each prenatal checkup.
Su Xiao looked at them and suddenly felt very uncomfortable and heavy in her heart. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she heard Qu Si say calmly, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go back to my room first."
After saying that, she left.
Su Xiao watched her leave and said hesitantly, "Brother, did you know that my sister-in-law is going for a prenatal checkup today?"
Zhao Yixuan remained silent. Although she was pregnant, their feelings and relationship had not changed much. Qu Si was quite strong and did not need his help at all.
"You don't know? How could you not know?" Su Xiao felt that her heart would be broken. No wonder her sister-in-law looked so bad just now. It must be because of her brother.
"Brother, you should go back to your room quickly."
Finally, Zhao Yixuan returned to the dormitory.
Qu Si changed her clothes. She was almost seven months pregnant and her belly was very big, but Qu Si's figure was still very beautiful. Yes, she was naturally beautiful, and even when she was pregnant, she had a unique charm, which did not diminish her beauty at all.
Zhao Yixuan stared at her silently for a while, then said, "Why didn't you tell me you were going for a prenatal checkup today? If I had known, I would have come back earlier."
"You didn't tell me you were coming back today." Qu Si interrupted him, his tone light and ambiguous, not like a conversation between a husband and wife at all.
Zhao Yixuan was speechless for a moment after she choked him.
Qu Si's meaningful voice continued, "I know you didn't come back to see me, nor for business, but to see someone, so I'm telling you what to do!"
"Do you need to say that? She's my sister. What's wrong with me coming back to see her?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with you coming back to see your sister. I won't have any thoughts."
"If you really had no idea, you wouldn't be like this. You're her sister-in-law. If you treat her coldly like this, she'll think she's done something wrong. She's been separated since she was a child and just recently returned to this family. She's naturally sensitive. Although her parents love her, she's always cautious. I hope that as her sister-in-law, you can help her out. At least don't let her feel that even you are against her..."
"I'm sorry, Zhao Yixuan, I don't have this obligation! I have no obligation to consider anyone's feelings. After all, who has ever considered my feelings?" Qu Si growled out, gasping for breath.
Zhao Yixuan's expression became even darker, and he looked at her coldly.
Qu Si suddenly smiled, "I'm very tired and don't want to argue with you. Since you came back to see her, then just reminisce about the past with her. Don't worry, I won't blame you, nor will I blame her!"
If you really don't blame others, you won't be like this!
Zhao Yixuan still couldn't understand why she was like this. He felt that she was being completely unreasonable. She took her misfortune out on others, even if that person was her sister-in-law.
Zhao Yixuan was a proud man and did not have that kind of deep love for Qu Si. Now he was feeling angry and had no patience for her, so he simply walked away.
When Qu Si heard the door being slammed, he clenched his hands immediately and two lines of tears silently slid out from the corners of his eyes.
The dinner was very rich. Zhao Zhixun also came back. There were about ten people, adults and children. The scene was very warm and pleasant.
However, Su Xiao found that Qu Si was not there.
"Your sister-in-law's mother is feeling unwell. She's going back to see her and will probably stay there for dinner. She told us not to wait for her." Lan Qiuling said this subconsciously, then looked at Zhao Yixuan, "Yixuan, you should go over there after dinner. It's not a serious illness, but it's rare for you to come back, so you should go see your mother-in-law."
"I understand." Zhao Yixuan replied.
"Let's eat." Zhao Zhixun spoke, and several children picked up their chopsticks. Nini's sweet little mouth kept talking, making everyone happy, and even some troubles were temporarily forgotten.
But Su Xiao couldn't relax. She thought of the scene in the yard just now and always wondered if Qu Si had quarreled with her brother. So she kept looking at Zhao Yixuan. Zhao Yixuan occasionally looked at her, raised his eyebrows at her, asked what she was doing, and then smiled mischievously.
Seeing this, Su Xiao stopped thinking about it and hoped that they were really okay.
After dinner, Zhao Yixuan went to Qu's house. Everyone lived nearby and it was only a ten-minute walk. The children were left in the care of the nanny. Su Xiao was pulled aside by her mother to chat for a while. They returned to the dormitory at around 9 o'clock.
"Mom, you're finally back!"
Nini has learned that Su Xiao is her mother, and she is so happy that she has been clinging to Su Xiao for the past two days and is reluctant to part with her.
Su Xiao pinched her little face lovingly and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I'm waiting for dad's video." said the little girl.
Su Xiao was startled, her mind going blank for a moment. At this moment, the little girl's tablet rang. It was Yun Che who called her via video.
"Dad!" the little girl couldn't wait to shout.
"Have you been good today?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic, it was someone.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask mom. Mom, Dad is here to video chat..." Nini immediately shouted to Su Xiao.
