But the second she calmed down, she didn't know if it was because she was too excited in the dream and caused stomach cramps. She started to have nausea again and wanted to go to the bathroom. However, it only happened for a moment, and the nausea subsided again.
"Are you feeling better?" He saw her hand covering her lips and lowered her eyes to ask.
After Qiqi swallowed her nausea, she said to him, "I just dreamed that a child was chasing me."
Her voice was still choked, which showed her fear.
"What does the child look like?"
He asked her quietly in the moonlight.
Qiqi didn't know that the child seemed to be fat and white. She didn't see his face, but it made her feel particularly scary.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Huo Shaoting added, "Go for a physical examination tomorrow and ask the doctor to prescribe some relief medicine."
Qiqi was very tired and nodded again.
Huo Shaoting held her in his arms again, letting her belly press against him.
Qiqi had no strength to struggle. After all, he was the child's father. She just closed her eyes and lowered her face in his arms.
The next day was the day of prenatal check-up. Huo Shaoting took Qiqi to the hospital for an examination. Qiqi was lying in the B-ultrasound room. The doctor's instrument was constantly probing Qiqi's lower abdomen, and there were black and white dots on the screen.
Huo Shaoting sat on a chair nearby and watched quietly.
Soon, the doctor pointed to a small dot that had grown up and said, "This is it. It has grown a lot. The little guy is quite stable."
Huo Shaoting looked over and landed on the screen. Although there was no expression on his face, there seemed to be a slight smile on the corners of his lips: "It's a little bigger than last time."
It's amazing how the two of them combined to form such a little shadow.
In fact, Qiqi has always been panicked about this child, but at this moment, she wanted to take a look again, so she asked, "Can I take a look?"
The doctor said: "Okay, you sit up."
With the support of the medical staff, Qiqi looked at the screen and saw that the little black dot was dormant in her stomach.
Qiqi didn't know what to feel, but she felt soft in her heart.
The doctor said: "The child is now stable, so don't worry too much."
When Qiqi heard this, she calmed down and lay back down again.
Huo Shaoting said: "Well, I haven't bothered people much during this period."
The doctor smiled: "He will be a naughty little guy when he is born."
Probably because he is getting older, he actually likes the child Huo Shaoting a little bit, so when he talks about this child, his usually calm tone is also a bit doting.
Qiqi's hands were holding the quilt and her eyes were looking at the ceiling.
After the prenatal checkup, Huo Shaoting asked Qiqi in the car: "Would you like some water?"
Qiqi drank a lot of water after her prenatal check-up. She shook her head: "No, Brother Shao Ting."
"Um."
Seeing that she was a little tired, Huo Shaoting knew that she had not slept well last night, so he added, "Get a good rest when you get back." After he said that, he reached for the blanket on her body and covered her belly.
The air-conditioning in the car was still a bit cold, so Qiqi sat on the chair without moving, letting him cover her body with the blanket.
At this moment, Li Nai called again. She knew that Qiqi had a prenatal check-up today, so she asked about the status of the child's prenatal check-up. Huo Shaoting was in a good mood today, so after answering Li Nai's call, she also had a serious look on her face. He smiled slightly and said, "Well, the child is developing well."
"very healthy."
"Qiqi's morning sickness is better, don't worry too much."
"Another prenatal check-up should be next month."
"good."
"Pay attention to your health."
Qiqi sat aside and listened to Huo Shaoting's phone call with her sister. She didn't know what her sister said on the other end, but she could infer from Huo Shaoting's words that she was concerned about the child.
The language between the two was not too special, even trivial and ordinary.
Qiqi suddenly remembered Huo Shaoting's words. He said that all love will turn into family affection and responsibility in the end.
It seems like this sentence is true.
At least Qiqi didn't hear the sweetness and attachment in the conversation between the two, but the relationship between the two seemed to be very deep. Qiqi looked out the window.
Love is really a complicated thing.
After Huo Shaoting finished the phone call, he looked at her: "Your sister's phone number."
Qiqi whispered: "I know, how is sister's health?"
"It's been fine lately."
He said this.
Qiqi also nodded reassuringly: "That's good. I hope my sister is okay."
Huo Shaoting looked at her for a long time and said two words: "Yes."
…
After arriving home from the prenatal checkup, Grandma Huo came to ask about the results of the prenatal checkup. Huo Shaoting's secretary said to Grandma Huo, "The baby is growing well. The doctor said he is very strong."
Grandma Huo was very happy when she heard this. She walked over to Qiqi and stroked Qiqi's belly: "Oh, no wonder this kid has tortured his mother like this. He can't do it even if he is not strong."
Qiqi let her grandma's hand touch hers without saying a word. After all, she was still young and could not let go of others talking about her children.
Huo Shaoting noticed it and said, "It's still a small one, so don't praise it."
Huo Shaoting said to the servant: "Help Qiqi go up and have a rest."
The old lady also knew that Qiqi was tired from the prenatal check-up, so she immediately took her hand away from hers and told Qiqi: "Hurry up and rest. You are pregnant with the child, but you must rest well."
"Okay, grandma."
So Qiqi was taken upstairs by the servant.
Huo Shaoting glanced at her back and looked away.
…
After the prenatal checkup, when Qiqi was having dinner the next morning, Sheng Yunxia had a lady's party to attend. She decided to take Qiqi there and told Huo Shaoting in the morning.
After hearing this, Huo Shaoting looked at Qiqi first: "Do you want to go?"
Qiqi maintained her identity: "It doesn't matter. It's okay to go with mom."
After hearing this, Huo Shaoting did not stop her, but said, "Well, since she wants to go, you can take her there."
Sheng Yunxia smiled and said: "How wonderful. Now I have a daughter-in-law to accompany me. I am happier than anyone else."
Qiqi was silent.
Huo Shaoting flipped through the newspaper in his hand.
After breakfast, Sheng Yunxia took Qiqi to the ladies' bureau. Before setting off, Qiqi changed into many sets of clothes to eliminate her student spirit and timid posture, and finally changed into a crescent white dress.
Sheng Yunxia sat on the sofa and looked at her with admiration: "How can my daughter-in-law, Sheng Yunxia, be so bad?"
Qiqi didn't want to offend anyone now. She gave birth to this child so that her sister could be rescued. She also didn't want to offend Mrs. Huo, lest Mrs. Huo's anger would implicate her sister, so she wisely adopted the golden mean and tried to maintain peace between the two parties. Until this child was born.
"Auntie has a good taste."
She praised Sheng Yunxia.
Sheng Yunxia smiled: "The mouth is quite sweet."
