After dinner, Mianmian took Shao Yang to play on the second floor for a while, then Qin Xiao arranged for someone to send Shao Yang home. As he was leaving, Shao Yang glanced at Qin Xiao and Xiao Li before turning to leave. Xiao Li, who was glanced at, looked at Qin Xiao and said, "What does the gaze from the child mean?" Qin Xiao smiled lightly, "He should be envious of us spending time with Mianmian over dinner. Like his parents, I suppose the number of times they dine with him in a year is very few." Xiao Li nodded, agreeing with Qin Xiao’s perspective. The two held Mianmian’s hand and went back to the second floor. While climbing the stairs, Mianmian asked, "Mom, what is divorce? Shao Yang said his dad and mom are getting divorced." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li thought for a moment and replied, "It means Shao Yang’s mom and dad won’t live together anymore." Mianmian asked again, "Does not living together mean they can’t see each other every day?" Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, from now on, Shao Yang can only live with his dad, and it will be a long time before he sees his mom." Mianmian nodded in understanding, "No wonder Shao Yang was crying just now. Mommy and Daddy, please don’t get divorced, okay? Mianmian wants to stay with both of you." Upon reaching the second floor, Qin Xiao picked Mianmian up, "Mommy and Daddy won’t get divorced because Daddy loves Mommy and Mommy loves Daddy." Hearing this, Mianmian blinked, "So Shao Yang’s daddy and mommy are getting divorced because his daddy doesn’t love his mommy anymore, and his mommy doesn’t love his daddy?" Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes." Hearing this, Mianmian quickly said, "Daddy, quickly give Mommy a kiss." Qin Xiao and Xiao Li were taken aback at first, then Qin Xiao smiled lightly and gave Xiao Li a kiss on the cheek. Seeing Daddy kiss Mommy, Mianmian finally smiled happily. Aunt Wu came over, taking Mianmian back to her room for a bath. Qin Xiao supported Xiao Li into the room to sit on the bed, then went to Xiao Li’s room to take him for a bath. This child really isn’t one who likes to play with other kids. When Shao Yang came today and played so happily with his sister, he didn’t join in, just played by himself in his room. Inside the room, Xiao Li picked up her phone to check her social media and saw that Bai Yu had posted about his successful proposal. Hey... Compared to expressing love, his proposal was quite swift and smooth! Since Xiao Li gave Bai Yu some tips last time, things between Bai Yu and Li Mei progressed instantly, and now that the proposal has succeeded, Xiao Li felt a bit light-headed. She’s been quite a matchmaker. Thinking this, Xiao Li commented under Bai Yu’s post: [Matchmaker’s fee, please!] Just after commenting, she received a message on WeChat, opened it, and saw a red envelope sent by Bai Yu. Xiao Li accepted it unreservedly and asked about the wedding date. Bai Yu, who finally won over his wife, seemed quite impatient, setting the wedding for a month later. A month later, right around her own due date, she wondered if she could attend? When Qin Xiao returned to the room, he saw Xiao Li holding her phone in thought, so he walked over to ask, "What are you thinking about?" Chapters first released on novel-fire.ɴet Xiao Li answered without hesitation, "I’m thinking about when the baby inside will come out? Bai Yu is holding a wedding next month; I wonder if I’ll be able to attend by then?" Qin Xiao got into bed and held Xiao Li in his arms, "It depends on whether the two little ones inside agree or not?" A month passed in the blink of an eye, and at the entrance of the Century Hotel, Bai Yu and Li Mei were sending guests away. Qin Xiao helped Xiao Li walk out of the hotel, and Li Mei, seeing Xiao Li, hurried over, "I’ve been so busy today, I didn’t have much time for you. How are you? Tired?" Xiao Li shook her head, "Not tired, cousin." Hearing Xiao Li call her cousin, Li Mei blushed slightly. Following behind Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, Dai Zihan spoke, "Cousin, you don’t need to worry about Xiao Li; she has a perfect husband taking care of her. How could she be tired? Besides, there’s me, her little cousin, to take care of her too." Dai Zihan’s words amused both Li Mei and Xiao Li. After a few jokes, they each got into their cars. In the backseat, Qin Xiao first buckled Xiao Li’s seatbelt, then his own. Ever since Xiao Li’s belly grew big, whenever they went out together, Qin Xiao wouldn’t drive; he would sit in the back accompanying Xiao Li, letting the driver drive. Once they were seated, the car started moving. Qin Xiao gently asked, "Are you tired?" Xiao Li shook her head, "Not tired." They had arrived late, not coming very early. They arrived just as the wedding began, and afterward, they just sat for a meal and didn’t sit for long, so Xiao Li really didn’t feel tired. The car slowly headed home. When they reached the gated community, Xiao Li suddenly had an unusual expression; her face changed, and Qin Xiao immediately noticed, "Nini, what’s wrong?" Xiao Li looked up at Qin Xiao, "We might need to turn around to the hospital." The driver in front heard this and turned the car around without waiting for Qin Xiao’s instructions. Qin Xiao asked worriedly, "Nini, how do you feel?" Xiao Li chuckled lightly, "Uncle, don’t worry. It’s just contractions, nothing serious. On the way, there was a contraction once. I thought it was just the usual false labor. But it happened again just now, only 20 minutes apart, and I don’t know what these contractions mean? With the higher chance of preterm birth in twins, I thought it best to turn back to the hospital for a checkup to ease my mind. It’s fine, don’t worry." Qin Xiao nodded, "I understand." A half-hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Fenghe Hospital. Qin Xiao got out first, then carried Xiao Li from the car to the gurney. The nurse wheeled Xiao Li into the hospital and directly to the obstetrics department, where the doctor performed several examinations on her. "Dr. Xiao, the examination shows that the cervix hasn’t opened yet, but you have signs of regular contractions. It’s best to be admitted for fetal heart monitoring." Xiao Li nodded, "Okay." Staying in her own hospital is reassuring; Xiao Li completed the checkup and returned to her high-end ward to rest. In the ward, Qin Xiao supported Xiao Li as she walked back and forth. Since contractions were already starting, more movement was still beneficial. Qin Xiao looked at Mianmian, who was sweating from the pain caused by the contractions, and said worriedly, "Nini, after walking so long, do you want to sit down and rest for a bit?" Xiao Li shook her head, "Help me lie down on the bed for a while! My back is so sore, I can’t sit still!" Hearing this, Qin Xiao directly lifted Xiao Li and laid her down on the bed. Because of her sore back, she couldn’t lie flat, only on her side. To make Xiao Li more comfortable, he used his own body as a pillow for her.
