Mu Qiqi was going to suspend her studies. Sheng Xiao had personally gone to the school to handle the procedures for her, which surprised the dean very much.
“President Sheng, Qiqi is learning well. Why so sudden?”
“She’s sick. She needs to rest.” Sheng Xiao did not mention the pregnancy. After all, he had been on tenterhooks before she was even pregnant. Now that she was, safety was even more of a headache for him.
“If it’s really serious, then she really needs to rest. Qiqi is such an outstanding child.” The dean could not help but sigh. He felt that it was such a pity.
“When she recovers, she’ll come back.”
Feng Shanshan had left, and now Mu Qiqi had left as well. Although the dean felt that it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.
“Also, I hope that you can handle this matter quietly.”
“Okay, I understand.” The dean nodded, understanding. Mu Qiqi was a famous person. If she suddenly did not come to class, it would definitely attract gossip and criticism from others. “Don’t worry, CEO Sheng.”
Sheng Xiao settled the matter before returning to Zhongteng. He asked his secretary to free two of his days. After giving his instructions, he brought Xu Che back to the Banyan Courtyard.
Papa Sheng was working at Zhongteng while Mama Sheng and Fifth Aunt were preparing lunch at home. When they saw Sheng Xiao, they were a little surprised. “Eighth Brother, it’s the middle of the day. Why are you back?”
Sheng Xiao did not answer his mother’s question. Instead, he turned to Fifth Aunt and said, “Don’t prepare any ingredients that are bad for pregnant women.”
“President Sheng, are you going to give Miss Feng a tonic?” Fifth Aunt misunderstood.
“It’s Qi’er,” Sheng Xiao answered as he stood at the entrance of the kitchen.
The two women were stunned, as expected. Mama Sheng immediately reacted. “Eighth Brother, are you saying that Qiqi is pregnant?”
“She went for a check-up this morning. It’s been more than a month,” Sheng Xiao replied calmly.
When Mama Sheng heard this, she pushed him aside and said, “Are you serious? I would have thought that you would want to wait for a few more years before trying. Why so sudden?”
“Although it was an accident, don’t you want a grandchild?” Sheng Xiao frowned slightly when he saw Mama Sheng’s strange attitude.
“What are you talking about, you b*stard? I just feel that letting Qiqi be a mother at such a young age is the same as letting her down.” Mama Sheng could not help but attack her own son. “Since she already is pregnant, of course the baby’s the family’s treasure.”
“Mom, Qiqi really cares about this child. Help her.”
“She doesn’t care about the child. She cares about you. Do you think that women like to have children? Isn’t it all for the man they love? Isn’t it because they want to have a love child between the two of them?” Mama Sheng rolled her eyes at him. “You should treat Qiqi well. She’s your heart. Look after it well.”
“I know.”
“No one else knows about this, right?” Mama Sheng asked him. Since he had just returned from the hospital, he must have not told anyone yet.
“No.”
“Then let’s not talk about it for now. We’ll talk about it after three months. I was wondering why you came back so early in the afternoon. Go up and accompany her. I thought Qiqi was taking leave today… Speaking of which, what about school?”
Thinking of Mu Qiqi’s studies, Mama Sheng gave her son a slap on the face. “Qiqi can’t go to school because of you.”
“I’ve already arranged for Qiqi to take a leave of absence from school. When the child is born, Qiqi can go back to school.”
This was Mama Sheng’s worry. She thought that Qiqi was too young and that the two of them were not ready. She had prepared herself to become a grandmother a few years later. Who knew that she would be given such an exciting opportunity so early.
“Mother, thank you for your trouble.”
“You are my son. What else can I do?” After saying this, Mama Sheng turned around and returned to Fifth Aunt. “It seems like we will have to make a new meal.”
Fifth Aunt was very happy. And she knew that Mama Sheng was too. “It’s a happy occasion for us to have a child in the house.”
“Who says so? It’s just that Qiqi’s child has been wronged. If I were her, I would never give birth to Eighth Brother’s child for the rest of my life.” Although she said this, Mama Sheng still went out immediately to buy some fresh vegetables.
A pregnant woman needed to be taken care of properly.
Mu Qiqi lay on the bed at home and felt as if she was dreaming.
When she saw that Feng Shanshan was pregnant before, she had been so envious. Now, she actually had a child herself.
Without any warning, the baby had arrived.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiqi lowered her head and looked at her abdomen. “Baby… to tell you the truth, when Mommy was seventeen years old, she wanted to give birth for your Daddy. Do you know how much Mommy likes him?”
“Although you came very suddenly, how do you know so much about Mommy’s inner needs? You came just like that…
“Your Daddy can’t do anything to us.”
Mu Qiqi muttered to herself in the room while Sheng Xiao stood at the door and openly eavesdropped.
“I’m not unable to do anything to you, you know.”
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Mu Qiqi blushed and looked at the door. “Why are you back?”
Sheng Xiao walked up to Mu Qiqi and hugged her as she sat on his lap. His expression became serious. “Since you want this child, you can’t be as willful as before. You can’t do things like hitting people again.”
“At that time, I didn’t know…” Mu Qiqi knew that Sheng Xiao was talking about the time she had slapped Feng Wen.
“The school has already completed the procedures for you.”
“There must be a lot of speculation in the school about why I’m suddenly not going to school.” Mu Qiqi didn’t want so many people to know. The Sheng and Shen families were targets now. She didn’t want to be so high-profile because she would become a target for others to blackmail Sheng Xiao.
“The school will help cover it up. There’s no need to worry.” Sheng Xiao hugged her and looked at her. A seventeen-year-old girl had suddenly grown up and was about to become a mother.
He did not seem to be able to adapt to this change.
“You want to give birth to my child when you’re seventeen? Hmm? You’re very brave.”
“I know what you’re thinking. You think that I’m still young and that I can still enjoy my youth. That there’s no need for me to be tied up by a child. However, Xiao Xiao, let me tell you. In my heart, being able to give birth to a child like you and it being together with me every day will make me feel that it’s a different kind of life.
“There are all kinds of things in life. Who says that a girl should enjoy freedom when she’s young? I can enjoy my youth even when I have a child.
“So, don’t feel guilty about me all the time. A child is not a fish. How can you know the joy of having a fish?”
Sheng Xiao stared at her carefully, relieved. At the same time, he felt proud. How infatuated was this little one that she was not even afraid of having a child?
Just thinking about it made his body react.
