Shi Qiuqiu used all her strength to push Sheng Lijue away: "Sheng Lijue, I am serious."
Seeing that the woman was really a little angry, Sheng Lijue calmed down and hugged her. He didn't say a word, just held her quietly.
"Li Jue, I know you miss me, and I miss you too, but when we were in the countryside, Xiaoqing took great pains to take care of me and Luoluo. You don't think I'm an ungrateful person, do you?"
Shi Qiuqiu was not angry with Sheng Lijue, she just wanted him to stop doing this nonsense.
"The one who has to take care of Qiao Xiaoqing should be the father of the child." Sheng Lijue's expression became a little serious.
"But Xiaoqing still doesn't want to tell me who the father of the child is, and I don't want to force her." Shi Qiuqiu stood up and said feebly.
Seeing Shi Qiuqiu's helpless look, Sheng Lijue felt very distressed and immediately softened his heart. Who let Shi Qiuqiu be his weakness?
Sheng Lijue also stood up and hugged her: "Be good, I will handle it."
"Li Jue, it's really hard for Xiaoqing to bear such a thing alone." Shi Qiuqiu lay in Sheng Lijue's arms and whispered.
Sheng Lijue rubbed her shoulders and comforted her with a gentle voice: "Don't think too much, she is not alone now that you are with her."
Qiao Xiaoqing is Shi Qiuqiu's good friend, so Sheng Lijue is naturally willing to help her.
Besides, only by settling Qiao Xiaoqing's matter can Shi Qiuqiu move back with peace of mind.
He was not so generous as to give up his woman. His ultimate goal was to let Shi Qiuqiu concentrate her energy on him.
After leaving Qiao Xiaoqing's house, Sheng Lijue asked his assistant to secretly investigate the men who had been in contact with Qiao Xiaoqing in the past two months, hoping to find out who the biological father of the child in Qiao Xiaoqing's belly was.
…
In an empty room, Qiao Xiaoqing woke up from a nightmare and curled up on the bedside. She dreamed that someone was chasing her, forcing her to make a decision immediately, but she couldn't do it, she really couldn't.
Qiao Xiaoqing knew very well in her heart who the child's biological father was, but she also knew very well that it was impossible for her to be with him because there was another woman living in his heart and there would be no place for her.
She doesn't want to take risks, and she doesn't want her children to take risks with her.
"Perhaps, I should have made a decision long ago." Qiao Xiaoqing's eyes fell on her belly and she murmured to herself.
Cold and bitter tears slid down her cheeks, and she was in no mood to wipe them because she knew they would still flow out even if she did.
Useless.
Shi Qiuqiu vaguely heard some movement in Qiao Xiaoqing's room, and hurriedly ran in and saw Qiao Xiaoqing's embarrassed appearance.
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Shi Qiuqiu caught the subtle expression on Qiao Xiaoqing's face and found that there was something strange about her.
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." Qiao Xiaoqing stood up and got off the bed, with a smile on her face.
It was obvious that Qiao Xiaoqing was smiling, but Shi Qiuqiu felt tingly in her heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, dreams and reality are opposites." Shi Qiuqiu comforted her softly.
"Your hairband is crooked." Qiao Xiaoqing sat forward and helped Shi Qiuqiu straighten her black hairband.
Shi Qiuqiu was stunned when she saw Qiao Xiaoqing's actions. Qiao Xiaoqing never paid attention to these details. She used to help Qiao Xiaoqing arrange her clothes and hair.
Qiao Xiaoqing, who has always been carefree, has become so careful?
"Well, Xiaoqing, don't you like to watch dramas? There happens to be a drama performance at the Southern Theater this weekend. How about I accompany you to watch it?" Shi Qiuqiu held Qiao Xiaoqing's arm and concentrated all his attention on observing her to verify himself.
Inner doubts.
Shi Qiuqiu felt that she couldn't let Qiao Xiaoqing stay at home all the time, so she had to go out for a walk, which would help ease her tense mood.
"Okay, let's go together." Qiao Xiaoqing cheered and looked very interested. She was completely different from the one before.
Shi Qiuqiu thought that she was being too preoccupied, and her wrinkled facial features slowly relaxed.
Qiao Xiaoqing smiled sweetly, and her voice returned to its usual sweet and playful tone: "I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, I just...just made it." It was rare for Shi Qiuqiu to hear Qiao Xiaoqing cry out that she was hungry. She was inexplicably excited and could not even speak.
However, the moment she lowered her eyelids, Qiao Xiaoqing's expression returned to coldness, and the raised corners of her lips instantly lowered...
Qiao Xiaoqing hid it very well, and Shi Qiuqiu didn't notice it at all.
The two walked to the restaurant, and Qiao Xiaoqing pointed to the brand-new tableware on the dining table in surprise.
"This plate... did you reglaze it?" Qiao Xiaoqing took a few steps closer and realized that the tableware was something she had never seen before: "No, this is a new one you bought, right? Qiuqiu, why did you suddenly think of changing the tableware?
La?"
Shi Qiuqiu was a little confused. Qiao Xiaoqing had just told her in the morning that she would please bring a new set of tableware back when she went out at noon. How could she forget it in the blink of an eye?
"Yes, I saw it in a ceramics museum today. Didn't you tell me before that you thought your tableware was too ordinary? Change the tableware to change your mood." Shi Qiuqiu picked up an exquisite ceramic plate.
, the pine, bamboo and plum pattern printed on it: "See if you like it?"
Shi Qiuqiu didn't reveal anything about what happened in the morning, worried that Qiao Xiaoqing would think too much about it.
"Wow, so beautiful. I like it." Qiao Xiaoqing nodded and smiled brightly at Shi Qiuqiu.
But Shi Qiuqiu discovered that Qiao Xiaoqing said she liked it, but she didn't pick it up to look at it, she just sat down quietly.
"Xiao Qing, do you blame me for taking matters into your own hands? I didn't throw away your tableware, I kept them in the cabinet." Shi Qiuqiu frowned and said apologetically.
She knew that women were often suspicious and sensitive when they were pregnant, so she tried her best to accommodate Qiao Xiaoqing.
Qiao Xiaoqing realized that her behavior just now was too bland and immediately made "corrections".
"Silly Qiuqiu, what are you thinking about? How could I blame you?" Qiao Xiaoqing picked up the small blue and white bowl on the table and looked at it for a long time: "This pattern is really beautiful."
Shi Qiuqiu could tell that Qiao Xiaoqing was not angry, but seemed to have no interest in anything, but was extremely sensitive and could sense even the smallest changes.
This is not the real Qiao Xiaoqing, or this is not her true emotion. There is only one conclusion: Qiao Xiaoqing is deliberately hiding herself.
From this moment, Shi Qiuqiu truly understood that Qiao Xiaoqing's joy in the past few days was just a disguise.
Shi Qiuqiu's heart sank slowly, and she had a premonition that if the matter of pregnancy was not resolved, Qiao Xiaoqing would probably continue like this.
She thought that chatting with Qiao Xiaoqing every day would make her feel more relaxed, but she didn't expect that it would treat the symptoms rather than the root cause after all. Qiao Xiaoqing's stress still came from the child in her belly.
"I was in a bad state of mind a few days ago, and I put my work on hold for a few days. I'd better deal with it while I'm still energetic today." After Qiao Xiaoqing lowered her head and took a bite of the food, she suddenly raised her head and said.
