Xiao Nanchen just looked at Nie Ziming like that.
He did not give a direct answer.
In fact, there was no need to answer. The facts were clear.
He said, "Nie Ziming, I actually know very clearly what your purpose is in getting close to Xia Qiqi."
Nie Ziming's expression changed slightly.
"You can be a good person. I will bring you and Xia Qiqi together, but if you can't..." Xiao Nanchen looked straight at him, "I will keep sabotaging things!"
Nie Ziming just looked at Xiao Nanchen coldly like that.
Looking at him leaving after saying a sentence, just like that.
He gritted his teeth.
He turned around and went back to the ward.
In the ward, Xia Qiqi was still lying on the bed like that.
The sadness in her eyes was actually obvious.
But Nie Ziming pretended not to see it.
He said, "Qiqi, you should rest early."
Xia Qiqi turned her head to look at Nie Ziming and asked, "What did you talk to Xiao Nanchen about?"
"I just didn't want him to come and blame you. This matter was not your fault, it was because of me, but..." Nie Ziming hesitated to continue.
Xia Qiqi looked at him.
"Actually it's understandable. After all, it's his child. He can't just let it go like that either," Nie Ziming laughed bitterly. "I also have no right to ask anything of him."
"Don't bother with matters between him and me," Xia Qiqi said bluntly.
Nie Ziming was stunned.
He didn't seem to expect that Xia Qiqi would suddenly adopt this cold attitude towards him.
That sentence "matters between him and me" made him feel like Xia Qiqi was deliberately excluding him.
Feeling angry in his heart, but suppressing it.
Fortunately, he had successfully sabotaged their relationship now. No matter what, this child would become an insurmountable obstacle between them. Their already poor relationship would surely be exacerbated.
"I'm sorry, I thought I could help you..." Nie Ziming seemed somewhat self-reproaching, "I was meddling too much."
"I didn't mean that," Xia Qiqi felt bad seeing Nie Ziming looking guilty. "Xiao Nanchen is very upset right now. I just feel that no matter what you say, he won't give you a good reaction."
"Okay," Nie Ziming nodded.
He just nodded silently.
In fact, Xia Qiqi often felt sympathetic towards Nie Ziming.
Because he was an orphan, because of the circumstances of his birth, she always felt that he would have very low self-esteem, so she would be extra considerate of his feelings.
She didn't want him to live so grievously.
"Ziming, you're so seriously injured. Go back to your ward and rest. I'll sleep for a bit too."
"Will you be okay by yourself?" Nie Ziming asked with concern.
"I'll be fine," Xia Qiqi nodded.
Only then did Nie Ziming reluctantly leave Xia Qiqi's ward.
The moment he turned around, his expression clearly changed.
No matter how Xiao Nanchen threatened him just now.
As long as he was clear that Xia Qiqi would stand by his side first, it would be enough for him to do many things!
...
Xiao Nanchen drove away.
Driving with just one foot was actually enough.
It was still pouring heavily outside.
Desolate and bleak.
Xiao Nanchen had also slowed down his speed a lot.
He saw an incoming call on his phone and still answered it, "Mom."
"How is Qiqi? Where are you now? Are you at the hospital?" Anxious voice came from Xiao Qiang on the other end.
It was so late, she was probably still worried and unable to sleep.
"The baby is gone," Xiao Nanchen said bluntly.
"What?!" Xiao Qiang was clearly having trouble accepting it.
"Yeah, it's gone. Qiqi is fine, just minor injuries, but she has to do postpartum care, so she's still in the hospital now. Notify Qiqi's father." Xiao Nanchen spoke lightly.
His tone really didn't reveal any emotion at all.
"Nanchen, don't be too upset. The baby is gone but you can always have another one. You and Qiqi are both still young." Xiao Qiang instantly became gentle, calming herself down from the initial agitation.
"Okay," Xiao Nanchen responded lightly and hung up the phone.
There won't be another one.
This child was just an accident to begin with.
Life doesn't have that many accidents.
He drove the sedan, not going straight home.
He had been used to it since young.
Enduring everything by himself no matter what happened.
Qiqi had always felt that Nie Ziming's birth was pitiful.
She never knew.
As an "illegitimate child," he wasn't necessarily much happier either.
In the end, it still came down to lack of love.
Because of lack of love.
That's why no one saw all his grief.
...
Xiao Qiang notified Xia Zheng Hai.
Xia Zheng Hai had his driver drive Xiao Qiang and Le Ling together to the hospital.
Bringing Le Ling was because Qiqi was hospitalized after all, and would need someone to take care of her eventually.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qiqi was lying on the hospital bed alone looking rather dejected.
When Xia Zheng Hai first received the news, he was a bit angry too, but when he actually saw his daughter lying on the bed like that, his heart softened. He hurried over, "Qiqi, how are you feeling? Does anywhere feel uncomfortable?"
When Qiqi saw her father, and also Xiao Qiang and Le Ling, her expression clearly changed, "What are you all doing here?!"
"What nonsense is this child saying? You had a miscarriage and were hospitalized. How could your dad not come see you? How are you feeling now?" Xia Zheng Hai asked anxiously.
"I'm fine. You can all leave now." Qiqi looked extremely impatient.
She just didn't want them to show up.
She also didn't want to be constantly reminded of the fact that she had lost her child.
She would rather endure it herself than have people keep bringing it up.
"What do you mean you're fine?! Having a miscarriage is a huge deal that causes great emotional and physical trauma. " Xia Zheng Hai also couldn't stand it. He tried to lecture her very gravely.
"The doctor said I'm still young and the surgery went very smoothly without much trauma. Don't curse me!"
"Yes, yes, you're still young and can still have children in the future. Dad came because I wanted to accompany you more. You must be feeling awful after the miscarriage too." Xia Zheng Hai quickly changed his tone again, trying to appease her.
"I didn't expect this child in the first place. It's gone so it's gone..."
"Xia Qiqi, are you really so heartless?!" Xiao Qiang finally couldn't stand listening anymore.
Qiqi bit her lip and glared fiercely at Xiao Qiang.
"Yes, you didn't expect the baby, but did you think about how much others were looking forward to it?! Me, your dad, how much we looked forward to your baby's birth! And Nanchen, do you know how Nanchen got to the hospital?! In such heavy rain, driving himself to chase after you! Do you know how inconvenient Nanchen's leg is, how fast do you think he was driving?! I couldn't even see his taillights in an instant! Can't you have a conscience?!" Xiao Qiang really couldn't hold it in anymore.
When she first came, she had told herself not to lose her temper.
Something unfortunate had happened, and Qiqi must not be feeling good either.
Besides, Qiqi's body was the one injured from the miscarriage, so she decided to endure it.
But now seeing Qiqi's heartless attitude, she felt like her concern was completely unnecessary.
Hearing Xiao Qiang's words, Qiqi's eyes instantly turned red.
