On the way home, Feng Shanshan saw Mu Qiqi looking pensive, so she poked her arm. “Why are you always such a bad person? Need you be so paranoid?”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Dr. Song. I just think that her appearance feels very timed,” Mu Qiqi answered seriously. “Captain Tang handed her over to me, so of course I have to keep an eye on her. You think upcoming danger is a joke?”
“Xiao Qiqi is right.” He was driving with his left hand on the wheel and his right hand holding Feng Shanshan’s left hand. Tang Yan could not bear to let go of her.
“The two of you are now old parents. You talk all day long,” Feng Shanshan complained, but her heart felt warm.
Mu Qiqi knew that her words did not reflect her real thoughts, so she just looked at her.
She did not want to be this old mother either, but Feng Shanshan was alone.
No, Feng Shanshan actually had parents, but both of them had remarried. The two of them had known each other for so long, but Mu Qiqi had never heard her mention her parents before. She said that she didn’t have feelings for them, and for a group photo with her parents, she as a person had been compromised by a scumbag a few times.
Perhaps she had some feelings for them…
She was already married to Tang Yan and was going to have a child, yet she didn’t mention her parents at all.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiqi could not help but look at Feng Shanshan a few more times.
Tang Yan was busy with his daily work and she was in class. Feng Shanshan was usually alone at home, so loneliness was an issue. She was afraid that if something happened to her suddenly, she would not even be able to find a person to call for help.
Mu Qiqi wanted to mention this, but she felt that it was a family matter, so it was not appropriate to ask. This was something that Tang Yan should be worried about. As a friend, there were boundaries that she could not overstep.
After returning home, Mu Qiqi saw that Fifth Aunt had made a nourishing chicken soup. She asked her if it could be taken by a pregnant woman. Fifth Aunt gave her a positive answer with a smile, and she immediately packed a bowl for Feng Shanshan.
Then, Fifth Aunt sent the chicken soup to Tang Yan’s house for Mu Qiqi.
When Feng Shanshan saw it, she got very emotional.
“Miss Feng, if you have any soup that you want to drink, give me a call. When I make it for Miss Qiqi, I’ll also make a bowl for you.”
“Thank you, Fifth Aunt.”
Although it was just a bowl of chicken soup, Feng Shanshan did not feel good.
“Miss Qiqi cares about you.”
Feng Shanshan looked at the bowl of chicken soup. She would be lying if she said that she was not envious.
Tang Yan saw that she did not touch the bowl for a long time, so he more or less guessed what she was thinking. When a person was pregnant, it was inevitable that she would have wild thoughts, thus, he squatted beside her and spoke to her.
“When you married me, you knew my situation. I only have one uncle, and my family is very limited. I don’t think I have an elder who can take care of you.
“When we registered, I asked you if you needed to inform your parents. At that time, you didn’t seem to care, and I didn’t insist, but it seems like that was my mistake.”
Feng Shanshan had been separated from her family for many years. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about it. Her parents had remarried, and she had left the two of them with hatred. She had never thought that she would meet them again.
However, now that she was about to become a mother herself, she did hope that there would be someone by her side who would care about her, care that was different from love. This was something that Tang Yan and Mu Qiqi couldn’t make up for or give her.
“If you want, I can accompany you to look for them.”
“Aren’t you busy with work? No cases at the bureau?”
“The chief has recently reassigned all the important cases because he knows about our situation.” There was only one person at home. If anything happened to Feng Shanshan and her child, then Tang Yan would be ruined.
“Give me some time to think about it.” Feng Shanshan did not resist this time. Her heart was filled with hope.
“There’s no rush.” Tang Yan held Feng Shanshan’s hand and was extremely gentle with her.
Late at night, in Banyan Courtyard.
Ever since Huang Yao merged with Zhongteng, Sheng Xiao had been going home at a later time. In the past, he could enter the house at seven o’clock on time. Now, at 8:30p.m., he was still nowhere to be seen.
After Mu Qiqi washed up, she sat in the study and looked up the little things that happened after pregnancy.
Before Feng Shanshan went to bed, she gave her a call.
“Today, Tang Yan suggested that I go look for my parents…”
“You’re afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
Mu Qiqi knew her well. When she was young, she was impetuous. She ran out and stopped all contact with her parents. Now if she ran back rashly, she would only be disturbing other people’s families.
“You’re so sharp.”
“I can’t make this decision for you. Although my heart is filled with that stinky man, I can’t leave my family either. I feel that my family can bring me things that others cannot. They make me feel that living in this world is very warm and stable. You and Tang Yan are too lonely. Even after the child is born, you’re still only a family of three. That’s too small.”
“Of course, if you try in the end and find out that your parents are heartless, you can give up. I don’t mind asking my dad to take in an adopted daughter.”
After Feng Shanshan heard that, her heart warmed. “I understand.”
“If you understand, then go to bed early. Don’t tire my godchild.”
Feng Shanshan felt at ease and ended the call. Seeing that Tang Yan was also lying on the big bed, she whispered in his ear, “If you have time, come with me to find my parents.”
Tang Yan was surprised for two seconds before he nodded. “Okay.”
Sometimes, he was very jealous of Mu Qiqi’s position in Feng Shanshan’s heart. Even he, her husband, could not be compared to her.
Only Feng Shanshan herself knew that that was not true.
Half an hour later, Sheng Xiao pushed open the door to the study. Seeing the little thing casually sitting there with her legs crossed, he frowned. “You’re not a woman at all.”
“Tsk tsk, fancy lecturing me when you’ve only just got back.” Mu Qiqi put down the book in her hand and moved from her man’s seat. “You only come home at 8:30 every day now. CEO Sheng, you’ve become so busy, huh.”
Sheng Xiao sat down next to Mu Qiqi and leaned over her body. “Spare the rod, and spoil the child. That’s you I’m talking about.”
Mu Qiqi’s eyes sparkled, her arm around the man’s neck strong. “Then why don’t you hit me?”
Sheng Xiao tilted his head and saw what Mu Qiqi had been looking up again. He hooked his arm around her and held her chin as he asked, “Haven’t you given up yet?”
“What?” Mu Qiqi frowned and reacted a moment later. “I’m looking at it for Feng Shanshan. Who wants to bear your child? What? I can’t even read anymore?”
With that said, Mu Qiqi pushed Sheng Xiao away and returned to the bedroom in a huff.
This thing was getting more and more temperamental.
Although Jianchuan appeared calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. At the very least, he still wanted her. He would live comfortably for the next few years.
It was not that Mu Qiqi did not understand Sheng Xiao’s thoughts. It was just that he was being too paranoid. She was just reading a book. Why did he have to have such a big reaction?
A moment later, Sheng Xiao returned to the room. Seeing that the little thing had her back to him, he did not go up to coax her. He waited for her to finish washing up and lay on the bed before he turned her over.
“Now that you know that I pamper you and spoil you, you’re getting more and more daring.”
“I have a husband who pampers me. Do you?” Mu Qiqi asked provocatively.
