The couple was both unreliable, so Sun Zhirou was worried and asked her boss for leave to take them home safely.
Under Sun Zhirou's powerful aura, Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao did not dare to speak. Feeling guilty, they did not dare to meet Sun Zhirou's eyes and could only compromise.
Sun Zhirou led the two to the state-run restaurant to find Qin Hai. Qin Hai was overjoyed to learn that Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant. He circled around Qin Xiaoxiao, being even more careful than Su Lu.
Qin Xiaoxiao knew why Qin Hai was so happy; it was simply because his little brother now had an heir, and he could finally give his brother an explanation.
Qin Hai wanted to touch Qin Xiaoxiao's belly, but because of his status, he felt it was inappropriate. Even as her uncle, he wouldn't touch his niece's belly. Qin Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken seeing his conflicted expression, wanting to touch but not daring to.
Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed Qin Hai's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Second Uncle, feel it. There's a baby here. You're going to be a grandfather soon."
Qin Hai was startled at first, then his eyes reddened. The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man cried while feeling the little life inside Qin Xiaoxiao's belly. Qin Xiaoxiao could feel Qin Hai's hands trembling even through his clothes.
Su Lu, who was standing to the side, was filled with envy.
I haven't even touched my own eldest daughter yet!
Seeing Qin Hai crying his heart out, and not wanting to disturb the scene, he awkwardly turned his head away.
Qin Hai placed his hand lightly on Qin Xiaoxiao's stomach, not daring to move, and only felt it for a moment before quickly leaving after three to five seconds.
Qin Hai wiped away his tears. "Don't do that again. It's ridiculous. What will happen if outsiders see this? Do you even care about your reputation?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Is your grandson more important than your reputation?"
Qin Hai: ……
"You good-for-nothing child, you're always causing trouble. Get out of here, go home right now, or your grandma will be worried."
By the way, your grandma doesn't know you're pregnant yet, right?
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't know. I came here for a check-up and to see why I haven't gotten pregnant after being married for several months, but I didn't expect that I would already be pregnant."
Qin Hai chuckled, "You're lucky. Otherwise, if you hadn't told your grandma first when you got pregnant, she would have given you a good beating."
After Qin Hai finished speaking, he went back to the kitchen and made more than a dozen vegetarian buns for Qin Xiaoxiao, and also took ten meat buns. He also made sweet and sour pork and braised fish pieces. He just didn't know if Qin Xiaoxiao could stand the smell of fish.
Regardless of whether it was edible or not, Qin Hai packed it up and took it away. If it weren't for the fact that there were only these two kinds of meat and vegetables today, Qin Hai would have liked to pack up all the dishes for Qin Xiaoxiao to take back.
Sun Zhirou greeted Qin Hai and rode off on her bicycle. Su Lu followed behind, pushing Qin Xiaoxiao, but he was too afraid to ride, worried that she might fall.
Sun Zhirou arrived home first and called out to her mother as soon as she entered the house.
Old Mrs. Qin was reclining in the room with her eyes closed, resting. When she heard the shout, she thought she had misheard. In the blink of an eye, Sun Zhirou lifted the curtain and came in.
"Mom, why didn't you answer when I called you?"
Sun Zhirou poured herself a glass of water and drank it down. Not feeling quenched, she drank another glass.
Grandma Qin looked at Sun Zhirou with a puzzled expression. "Why are you back? I thought I misheard. What happened? Did something happen at home? Or did you come to pick up Xiaoyue?"
Sun Zhirou poured two glasses of water, put the glasses down, and shook them with a smile, saying, "No way, I'm completely at ease leaving Xiaoyue here with you. Let her stay at home."
Grandma Qin glared at Sun Zhirou and said, "You're doing me a favor, but this poor old woman is constantly being bothered by your daughter. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao helping me keep an eye on her, I might have ended up with this old body of mine being taken care of by your daughter."
Sun Zhirou sat down next to Old Mrs. Qin and massaged her legs in a flattering manner. "Look at what you're saying, as if Xiaoyue isn't your own granddaughter. She's so naughty, isn't she just like the Qin family? Please bear with her!"
"What if they don't take responsibility? Is it possible to return the goods?"
Grandma Qin muttered something unpleasantly. Sun Zhirou heard it but didn't reply, only suppressing a laugh.
"Oh, right, Mom, I didn't come back to see Xiaoyue. I have some good news to tell you."
Grandma Qin glared at Sun Zhirou with annoyance, "It's a great thing for me that you took your daughter away. There's nothing better than this."
Sun Zhirou rolled her eyes. "Why are we bringing this up again? You were the one who said that. Don't regret it after I finish."
Grandma Qin was furious and glared at her, "Regret what? If you don't regret it, hurry up and take them away. Oh dear, this is giving me a headache."
Grandma Qin pretended to be sick, but Sun Zhirou wasn't in a hurry. She slowly said, "Xiaoxiao is pregnant."
Those five seemingly casual words startled Old Mrs. Qin so much that she almost jumped off the bed. Grabbing Sun Zhirou's sleeve, she demanded, "What did you say? What did you just say? What happened to Xiaoxiao?"
Sun Zhirou rolled her eyes. "We're both granddaughters, Mother, you're showing favoritism!"
Grandma Qin held onto Sun Zhirou tightly, saying, "I'm biased, what can you do about it? Hurry up and tell me what happened to Xiaoxiao?"
Sun Zhirou couldn't keep up the act any longer and suddenly became excited. She grabbed Old Madam Qin's hand and whispered, "Mother, our Xiaoxiao is pregnant."
After hearing this, Grandma Qin sat there in a daze for a long time before she finally came to her senses. "Really? Didn't you say you hadn't had your period yet? How come you're pregnant?"
Sun Zhirou blinked. "I didn't know that. Su Lu and Xiao Xiao came to my place, and when I asked them what they were doing in the county town, they said they were going to the hospital. Then Xiao Xiao said she was pregnant."
Grandma Qin narrowed her eyes slightly. "Do you think she's lying to us?"
Sun Zhirou didn't understand, "Why would she lie to us? She won't get anything good out of it."
Grandma Qin muttered to herself, "Xiao Xiao told Su Lu that her periods are irregular. Even though I'm not well-educated, I know it's hard to get pregnant without that. She lied to me because she didn't want me to be sad and think she didn't have children."
Sun Zhirou thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, our Xiaoxiao isn't that kind of child. She says what she thinks. If she's not pregnant, she won't say anything."
Besides, judging from the way Su Lu treated Xiao Xiao so cautiously, it didn't seem like she wasn't pregnant.
Mother, you didn't see it, Su Lu dotes on Xiao Xiao. He supports her even when she walks, and he can't stand her walking too fast. He keeps nagging beside her, which annoys Xiao Xiao so much that she glares at him.
Are you still lying to us?
Grandma Qin shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. Judging from her appearance, she should be pregnant, but how is that possible? She fell into an ice hole and her periods are irregular. How could she get pregnant?"
Sun Zhirou looked at Old Madam Qin with a puzzled expression, "This Su Lu is really amazing!"
Grandma Qin didn't reply, but glared at her.
The two sat for a while longer, then heard someone knocking on the door.
Sun Zhirou slapped her thigh, "Mother, Xiaoxiao and Su Lu are back."
Sun Zhirou helped Old Mrs. Qin get out of bed and put on her shoes, but Old Mrs. Qin found it troublesome and ran out barefoot.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, they saw Qin Xiaoxiao being carefully helped off the car by Su Lu. Judging from the way he looked at her, it was as if he was helping her up rather than carrying exquisite porcelain.
