Xia Qiqi answered Nie Ziming's phone call.
"Qiqi," Nie Ziming's gentle voice came through.
Xia Qiqi gently pursed her lips.
She said, "Ziming."
"Why haven't you been to work for so long?" Nie Ziming asked.
As if he didn't know anything?
Xia Qiqi bit her lip.
She didn't know how to tell Nie Ziming that she was pregnant.
She was pregnant with Xiao Nanchen's child.
"Are you not feeling well? Or did you fight with your dad again?" His voice was still gentle beyond measure.
"No." Xia Qiqi said, finally telling Nie Ziming bluntly, "I'm pregnant."
Obviously.
It went silent on the other end for a long time.
Silent for a very long time.
Xia Qiqi's eyes instantly turned red. She could imagine how heartbroken Nie Ziming must be.
Just like how heartbroken she was when she found out she was pregnant with Xiao Nanchen's child.
She said, "Ziming, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?" The other side suddenly laughed, "I should congratulate you."
"Don't say that, I'll really feel awful if you say that. I really..." Xia Qiqi said choked up.
"As long as it's what you want, it's good. As long as you're happy." Nie Ziming interrupted her, "As long as you're happy, that's good."
"I'm not happy at all. I'm pregnant with Xiao Nanchen's child, I'm not happy at all!" Xia Qiqi's voice was a little loud.
So it was easily heard by Xiao Nanchen, who was just opening the door.
He was standing at the door.
Not coming in.
Xia Qiqi didn't notice either.
"The child is innocent." Nie Ziming said, "Don't take out your dislike of Xiao Nanchen on the child."
"It's because the child is innocent that I didn't really get rid of him, otherwise, otherwise..." Xia Qiqi said choked up incoherently.
"I understand." Nie Ziming comforted, "Qiqi, don't be too upset, I understand how you feel."
"But this way, there will never be an 'us' again!" Xia Qiqi said,
saying it out, she was in tears.
She had thought that one day she would divorce Xiao Nanchen.
One day she would return to Nie Ziming's side.
Now with the child, it would really never be possible again.
She might really be entangled with Xiao Nanchen for a lifetime.
"I know." Nie Ziming replied calmly, "You don't have to consider my feelings, just do what you think is important. I can accept it."
"Ziming, why are you so good to me?" Xia Qiqi really couldn't stand it anymore.
The better Nie Ziming was to her, the more awful she felt inside.
"I don't want you to get hurt or upset. Qiqi, take good care of yourself, I'm going to hang up."
Xia Qiqi gripped her phone tightly.
She knew that the moment he hung up.
It would really be over between them.
At that moment.
But still.
Grit her teeth and ended the call.
Her relationship with Nie Ziming was really over.
From now on, it would never be possible again.
Xia Qiqi, who had just hung up the phone, cried her heart out.
Xiao Nanchen standing at the door, also just quietly left.
He could actually feel Xia Qiqi's distress.
But he didn't have the ability to comfort her.
He could only choose to leave silently.
Xia Bank.
After Nie Ziming hung up the phone, his expression changed instantly.
Although he kept saying he only wanted Xia Qiqi to be happy, in fact, he could also feel Xia Qiqi giving up on their relationship.
She had chosen to give up.
He could only obediently accept it.
But!
Nie Ziming's eyes tightened.
He would never let Xia Qiqi really fly off into the sunset with Xiao Nanchen!
......
An Nuan had just finished a meeting and was sitting in her office.
Xia Qiqi called.
"What's up?" An Nuan picked up, smiling.
She just heard loud sobbing on the other end.
An Nuan was startled, "What happened? Did something happen?"
"Wuwuwu, I really broke up with Nie Ziming, wuwuwu..." came Xia Qiqi's distraught crying.
An Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought something was wrong with the baby.
She said, "I thought it was something major. Just break up if you broke up, from the moment you married Nanchen, you and Ziming were already broken up..."
"An Nuan, you don't understand me at all! You don't care about me at all!" Xia Qiqi accused.
Xia Qiqi was extremely annoyed by An Nuan's perfunctory attitude.
"Alright alright, I know you're not feeling well after the breakup, stop crying, too much crying is not good for the baby."
"It's this baby that's the problem! He killed my true love!" Xia Qiqi complained angrily.
"Don't say that. I heard the baby can feel the mother's emotions. If he knows his mother doesn't love him, he'll be very hurt, and might even..." An Nuan said ominously.
Xia Qiqi was frightened by An Nuan's words, and quickly asked, "He's just a clump of flesh now, what thoughts could he have?!"
"He does have them. My mom said when she was pregnant with me, she had severe morning sickness and said in anger that she didn't love me and didn't want me, then she started spotting. She was lucky to get to the hospital in time to save me, otherwise I wouldn't be here." An Nuan said very seriously.
"An Nuan, don't scare me like that. Should I go to the hospital to get checked? I don't seem to have been very nice to him lately..." Xia Qiqi said anxiously.
An Nuan smiled, "See, aren't you quite concerned about the baby?"
"..." Xia Qiqi was speechless.
Damn.
She had been tricked by An Nuan again.
"Qiqi, since you've already decided how you want to live your life, don't keep thinking about it. Don't say you're not willing, try to put yourself in Nanchen's shoes. How heartbroken do you think he was having to let go and watch you be happy with Ziming? You really don't need to feel unwilling about Nanchen's love for you."
Xia Qiqi pouted.
She couldn't find a word of rebuttal at that moment.
"Look forward to your baby being born." An Nuan didn't want to push Xia Qiqi too much, changing the subject, "Speaking of which, do you think the baby will be a boy or a girl?"
"A boy, I think. I want a boy." The words slipped out of Xia Qiqi's mouth.
An Nuan smiled.
So Xia Qiqi wasn't completely unexcited about this child after all.
Otherwise she wouldn't be thinking so much about it.
"Xiao Que and Xiao Nanchen want a girl, I'm going to give them a boy to piss them off!" Xia Qiqi said angrily.
An Nuan was a little speechless.
Xia Qiqi was still so childish.
She said, "A boy that looks like Nanchen would probably be very handsome too."
"Who said he'd look like Xiao Nanchen, he has to look like me!" Xia Qiqi said indignantly.
"Looking more like Nanchen would be more handsome." An Nuan said frankly.
"An Nuan!" Xia Qiqi was about to blow her top.
"Kidding." An Nuan smiled brightly, "Let's not talk more, I have a meeting to get to soon, we'll chat later."
"Humph." Xia Qiqi was still huffy as she hung up first.
An Nuan also put down her phone.
At that moment, she suddenly felt having a child wouldn't be so bad.
