"Miss Xia." Le Ling was startled by Xia Qiqi's appearance.
Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Nanchen, upon seeing Xia Qiqi cough violently, immediately wheeled his wheelchair over.
He saw that Xia Qiqi seemed to have barely managed to swallow the congee in her throat. Her eyes were red. She snapped at Le Ling, "Are you trying to scald me to death? Damn it, I thought I was going to die here today!"
"I told you it was hot." Le Ling felt wronged.
"Who told you to make the congee so hot!" Xia Qiqi unjustly argued.
"How can it be cooked through if it's not hot..."
"Le Ling," Xiao Nanchen interrupted Le Ling, "go get another bowl."
"Oh." Le Ling swallowed her grievance and went to the kitchen.
After a while, she brought out a small soup bowl.
Xiao Nanchen picked up the spoon that Xia Qiqi had slammed on the table. He scooped two spoonfuls of mung bean congee into the small soup bowl, then stirred it a few times in the bowl and blew on it twice before placing it in front of Xia Qiqi, "Eat up, it's not hot anymore."
Xia Qiqi looked at Xiao Nanchen.
"Aren't you hungry?" Xiao Nanchen tried his best to look very natural.
It was fine when he didn't say anything.
But when he mentioned it, she was even hungrier.
Xia Qiqi felt that she shouldn't let her stomach down, so she picked up the spoon in the bowl and started eating.
Given that she had almost been scalded to death earlier, Xia Qiqi used her lips to gently touch it first to make sure it wasn't hot before eating it.
At this time, Xiao Nanchen asked Le Ling to bring another soup bowl and spoon.
So while Xia Qiqi ate, Xiao Nanchen helped cool it down for her. When she finished one bowl, he handed her another cooled one.
Naturally, Xia Qiqi was able to eat very comfortably this way.
Watching this, Le Ling couldn't help but laugh.
She just couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
Xia Qiqi's eyebrows wrinkled in displeasure, her face ugly, "What are you laughing at?!"
Le Ling held in her laugh and blurted out without thinking, "I suddenly feel that Mr. Xiao is like taking care of a child."
"......" Xia Qiqi's face instantly turned black.
Le Ling quickly became deferential.
She only felt that this scene was very warm.
She didn't mean anything else.
Miss Xia really got angry easily.
"Le Ling," Xiao Nanchen suddenly spoke up, "go scoop another bowl."
"Oh." Le Ling hurriedly nodded.
Xiao Nanchen still lowered his head, cooling the congee for Xia Qiqi very carefully.
"You can leave, I can eat by myself," Xia Qiqi began to reject Xiao Nanchen's kindness.
Xiao Nanchen lightly pursed his lips.
But he didn't leave.
He still helped her cool the congee.
"Xiao Nanchen, I told you to leave. I can eat by myself..."
"I'm not taking care of you," Xiao Nanchen interrupted Xia Qiqi's agitation. "I'm taking care of my child."
"......" Xia Qiqi really felt like a mouthful of old blood was about to spew out. Her whole person was about to explode, "How did you know?!"
"Ann told me."
"Damn it." Xia Qiqi knew Annuo was unreliable.
Grass.
Who was her best friend in the end?!
Xiao Nanchen?!
This third party between her and Annuo!
"Since you already know, I won't beat around the bush." Xia Qiqi said very decisively to Xiao Nanchen, "I never intended to give birth."
The hand Xiao Nanchen held the spoon with stiffened.
When Annuo left just now, she had said no matter what Xia Qiqi said to him, Xia Qiqi wouldn't go back on her word to Annuo.
But at this moment, hearing with his own ears that Xia Qiqi didn't want this child, that she didn't want to have children with him, hearing about her pain in this marriage, he still felt a little upset.
Imagining and truly experiencing it were still different after all.
He had actually been thinking all night about how Xia Qiqi would face him.
He had imagined ten thousand horrible ways.
Yet in the end, not having personally experienced it, it still made him so upset.
Xia Qiqi was even more agitated by Xiao Nanchen's silence.
"Anyway, I won't give birth. I'm not asking your opinion by telling you this, just giving you a heads up."
"Think it over," Xiao Nanchen suddenly said.
His low voice was clearly tinged with a hint of pleading.
But Xia Qiqi didn't hear it.
All she heard was Xiao Nanchen stopping her, making things difficult for her.
She said, "No need to think it over, I never considered having a child with you to begin with."
"The child is innocent."
"I'm even more innocent!" Xia Qiqi's voice was very loud. "Xiao Nanchen, wasn't it you who forcibly made me marry you with despicable means? I wouldn't have slept with you, let alone have your child! I could have had my own happy marriage and happy life. Now everything is ruined because of you! And you still want me to have your child. You might as well just directly let me die, that would be better!"
Increasingly obvious anger.
Xia Qiqi was really depressed to the extreme.
Her marriage to Xiao Nanchen already annoyed her enough. Now she was actually pregnant and had such severe morning sickness reactions that she really couldn't control her emotions.
In fact.
She now wanted to break all pretenses with Xiao Nanchen for them to fall out disastrously and ignore each other for the rest of their lives.
Yet at this moment Xiao Nanchen chose to be silent again.
He would always be like this, no matter what she said, Xiao Nanchen could not say a word.
"Xiao Nanchen, I'll say it again, I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just giving you a heads up..."
Xiao Nanchen suddenly put down the bowl and spoon, wheeled his wheelchair away.
Xia Qiqi looked at Xiao Nanchen leaving in a towering rage.
She watched Xiao Nanchen wheel to his own room, then shut the door closed.
It vaguely sounded like the door was locked too.
"Xiao Nanchen!" Xia Qiqi really wanted to kill this guy.
Damn man!
You should at least take a stand!
Xia Qiqi was so angry that her whole person was about to go up in smoke.
After a long time, Le Ling finally plucked up the courage to say, "Miss Xia, don't get angry, it's not good for the baby."
"I know it's no good but he still deliberately makes me angry!" Xia Qiqi roared.
She was clearly yelling at Xiao Nanchen.
"Mr. Xiao probably didn't do it on purpose. After all, you just said you wanted to get rid of Mr. Xiao's child. Mr. Xiao has no way to stop you, so what else can he do besides avoid it?" Le Ling said rather helplessly.
She could see Mr. Xiao clearly.
Why couldn't Miss Xia understand?
