Actually, it wasn't that Xiao Qiang looked too fierce now.
Xiao Qiqi was used to how fierce Xiao Qiang was anyway.
She was just taken aback when she heard Xiao Qiang say that Xiao Nanchen had recklessly driven to chase her without caring about his injured leg...
However, just now, Xiao Nanchen had been very calm in front of her from start to finish.
"Forget it," Xiao Qiang said, looking at Xia Qiqi's red-rimmed eyes. She also felt that she had been too agitated just now.
After all, Xia Qiqi was currently sitting the month after birth.
As a woman, she naturally understood very clearly how much damage a miscarriage did to a woman's body.
She said, "You should rest well. We'll talk after you've recovered."
"That's right, you should rest well and we'll talk after you've recovered," Xia Zheng Hai quickly smoothed things over. "Don't cry. It's not good for your health."
Lying in bed, Xia Qiqi rolled over with her back facing them.
She just didn't want to say another word.
She also didn't want them to see how upset she was.
She would rather have everyone know that she was heartless.
"You keep Qiqi company. I'll go keep Nanchen company," Xiao Qiang said to Xia Zheng Hai.
She knew very clearly how much damage the loss of their child had done to Nanchen.
But Nanchen was the kind of person who would never say anything.
He wouldn't even let anyone feel upset because of him.
At this moment, he must be bearing it alone.
"Okay. You go," Xia Zheng Hai quickly said. "The driver is at the door. Have him drive you."
"Mm," Xiao Qiang nodded and prepared to leave.
"You should both go," Xia Qiqi said with her back to them. "Dad, you should go too. I'll feel even more uncomfortable with you here. Just go."
"How can I leave you alone?" Xia Zheng Hai said with concern.
"Why can't you leave me alone?!" Xia Qiqi said somewhat agitatedly. "The doctor said it was nothing serious. As long as there are no abnormalities tomorrow morning, I can be discharged. Go with her. I want to be alone."
"Qiqi, Dad is worried about you."
"What's there to worry about?" Xia Qiqi urged. "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"
Xia Zheng Hai looked at Qiqi several more times. Xiao Qiang said at the side, "She doesn't want to see us. Let's go. Nothing will happen to her at the hospital."
"Alright," Xia Zheng Hai conceded.
As he followed Xiao Qiang to leave, he didn't forget to exhort, "Qiqi, don't think too much. If you lose a child, you can always have another one. Just live well with Nanchen in the future."
Xia Qiqi wrapped herself up completely in the quilt.
In the future.
In the future, how else could they live?
She always felt that she and Xiao Nanchen were over from the moment she lost the child.
Xia Zheng Hai and Xiao Qiang left together.
Xia Qiqi emerged from the quilt.
At that moment, her eyes welled up with tears again.
Actually, the biggest reason she didn't want them to keep her company was that she didn't want them to see how upset she was.
After losing this child, she wasn't as indifferent as she made herself out to be.
In fact...
She felt somewhat devastated.
She picked up the phone and called An Nuan.
An Nuan had already fallen asleep. She hazily picked up the phone, "Qiqi, it's so late..."
"Wahhh...sob sob sob," came loud wailing from the other end.
"..." An Nuan was really at a loss for words.
Xia Qiqi would cry her eyes out every other day.
Were pregnant women inherently more fragile?!
"What's wrong?" An Nuan rubbed her eyes. "Did you and Nanchen have a fight?"
"I had a miscarriage," Xia Qiqi choked out. Saying it out loud caused her to break down again completely.
An Nuan was stunned speechless.
It took her a good long time to react.
"Nuan Nuan, I had a miscarriage. The baby is just gone like that. Sob sob sob..." Xia Qiqi cried her heart out.
Ever since she was little, she had always vented her emotions to An Nuan.
It was as if she was used to relying on her.
"Where are you?" An Nuan suppressed all her questions and asked caringly.
"I'm at the hospital."
"I'm coming to find you."
"VIP room 888."
"Alright."
An Nuan hung up and immediately called Hu Feng.
No matter when An Nuan called him, Hu Feng would be wide awake. "Madam."
"I need to go to the hospital now. Please come over for a bit."
"Sure."
An Nuan swiftly changed her clothes and headed for the door of the villa.
Within 2 minutes, Hu Feng's sedan stopped at her feet.
After An Nuan got into the car, she directly told him the destination.
Hearing that Xia Qiqi had a miscarriage, there were still some indescribable emotions in her heart.
Was it an accident?! Or...deliberate!
An Nuan told herself to stay calm.
The sedan soon arrived at its destination. An Nuan brought Hu Feng into the ward.
Hu Feng waited outside the door.
Seeing An Nuan, Xia Qiqi's tears, which she had finally managed to get under control, instantly collapsed again.
"Nuan Nuan, I had a miscarriage. Sob sob..." Xia Qiqi broke down in anguished sobs.
Some reproachful words came to An Nuan's mouth, but she swallowed them back down.
She could see that Xia Qiqi was truly heartbroken this time.
She walked to her hospital bed and hugged her. "There there, you can have another baby if this one's gone. Don't cry."
"But but... I was already four months pregnant. I suffered so much for her. Sob sob..." Xia Qiqi said amidst tears. "I always thought I didn't look forward to this child, but I didn't expect to feel so devastated when I really lost her."
"There there, I understand," An Nuan comforted. "You're sitting the month now. Your health comes first. Be good and don't cry."
"But I can't control myself. Whenever I think about how the baby is just gone like that, it feels like half my heart has been hollowed out. I..." Xia Qiqi choked with sobs.
An Nuan helplessly continued to soothe her.
"Where's Nanchen?" An Nuan asked.
She was trying to divert Xia Qiqi's attention.
"He came, then left again." Xia Qiqi wiped her tears and said.
Thinking about how coldly Xiao Nanchen had left...
Deep down, she still felt a little aggrieved.
She knew he would be very angry.
But...
She didn't seem to have the right to blame Xiao Nanchen either.
"He left? Leaving you alone?" An Nuan asked.
She wondered if Xiao Nanchen's heart had truly turned cold.
"Nie Ziming was there when he left," Xia Qiqi answered with sniffles.
"Nie Ziming? What was he doing here?" An Nuan raised her eyebrows.
She sensitively felt something was off about this matter.
"Nie Ziming was in a car accident. I rushed to the hospital after getting a call that he was in an accident. How would I know I would get into an accident myself, and then lose the baby?" Xia Qiqi explained. "Just now when the nurse mentioned it, Nie Ziming came over to see me."
"Nie Ziming was in a car accident?" An Nuan murmured.
What a coincidence for things to happen this way.
"I don't blame Nie Ziming. I chose to drive to see him myself," Xia Qiqi quickly said.
An Nuan suppressed her words.
Some things came to her mouth but she still didn't say them out loud.
She said, "Is Nie Ziming still hospitalized?"
"He should still be. His injuries are quite serious."
"I see," An Nuan responded. She said, "It's late. You should sleep soon. Your health comes first."
"I can't fall asleep."
"Of course you can't fall asleep if you don't try," An Nuan coaxed. "Be good and lie down."
Xia Qiqi obediently went to sleep.
