Chapter 437: 423, Figure in the Garage (2)_1
Jian Luo reached out to snatch the file back, hiding it behind her, “It’s nothing.”
Xiya’s eyes twinkled as she wrapped her arms around Jian Qing’s, “Darling, did you notice something? Do share.”
Jian Qing glances at Jian Luo and spoke slowly, “Well, actually…”
“Sis, the breakfast will get cold if we don’t eat now.” Jian Luo quickly interrupted, earnestly serving her porridge.
Jian Qing suppressed a laugh, then changed the subject, “It’s nothing.”
Damn, you two are ganging up on me.” Xiya pouted.
“Sis, I have to go to JK International later, want to come along?” Jian Luo asked.
Before Jian Qing could respond, Xiya spoke first, “Darling, go shopping with me later. I haven’t prepared anything for our little girl yet.”
Jian Qing looked at her round belly and nodded.
“LuoLuo, you can drive my car later.”
“Then, what about you two?” Jian Luo asked.
“XiaoJing’s garage still has a lot of cars, I’ll drive one of his.”
Jian Luo nodded, picked up the design drafts, and headed upstairs.
…
The faint smell of disinfectant alcohol hung in the air. Jian Qing lifted her hand to adjust the brim of her hat, glancing surreptitiously at the person next to her.
“I wonder, is there gold on the floor?”
Ever since they entered the hospital, she had been staring at the ground, completely unlike her usual self. Otherwise, she would be flirting with the pretty nurses already.
Xiya, who had been holding her stomach and keeping her head down, lifted her head to look at Jian Qing, “Well, I wouldn’t mind finding some gold. Why don’t you throw me a few pieces?”
Jian Qing laughed lightly, finally returning to normal.
“Go sit over there. Your turn will be soon.”
There were quite a few people coming for prenatal check-ups today. Jian Qing and Xiya found a less crowded spot and sat down.
Xiya put a hand on her stomach, noticing the couples coming in together. A hint of envy passed through her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses.
Noticing her slightly down mood, Jian Qing gave her hand a comforting pat.
Xiya forced a smile, clearing the darkness from her eyes, “Darling, I want to eat an orange too.”
Jian Qing followed her gaze, catching sight of a man peeling an orange for his wife nearby, and raised an eyebrow in amusement.
“Xiya, have you heard of the saying ‘sour for a boy, spicy for a girl’?”
Upon hearing this, Xiya immediately retracted her statement, “I don’t want to eat an orange now, it’s too sour. Let’s go for hotpot at lunch.”
“I eat, you watch?” Jian Qing teased.
Xiya shook her head firmly, “No, we eat together.”
Jian Qing, “There’s no negotiation on this.”
Xiya sighed, “When can I have a hotpot meal again?”
“Let’s go, it’s your turn.”
When Jian Qing heard the nurse calling the numbers, she reached out to help Xiya.
Fortunately, Jian Qing found out yesterday that she had an ultrasound appointment today and made arrangements in advance to prevent the long wait.
Guided by the nurse, Xiya underwent each check-up one by one. She even brought Jian Qing with her to the ultrasound.
The reason was, she was scared.
Jian Qing couldn’t help but laugh by her side. If she could withhold her laughter for a moment, she might just believe she was afraid.
The private hospital in Beijing always valued patient privacy. In the ultrasound room, apart from Xiya and Jian Qing, there was only a female doctor in a white coat.
Xiya confidently took off her coat and removed her “full armament”, with Jian Qing holding them for her.
The female doctor was stunned for a few seconds by the sight of a fully “armoured” pregnant woman. She had just regained her senses when she saw the woman who had taken off her sunglasses, and was shocked again.
This person looked so familiar.
It seemed like she had seen her somewhere before.
“Doctor, can we start the check-up now?” Xiya asked.
“Ye, yes.” The doctor hurriedly answered.
Xiya took off her shoes and lay on the bed. Jian Qing watched from the side, her eyes filled with a curious twinkle.
The doctor became engrossed in her work.
Xiya looked at the little bean on the screen, her emerald green eyes filled with a warm smile, radiating a gentle aura.
She turned to look at Jian Qing, seeing the surprised expression on her face, she couldn’t help but laugh.
This expression, she was far from unfamiliar with.
The first time she went to the hospital for a check-up, the first time she saw the little bean in her stomach, she was surprised, but more than that there was an inexplicable excitement and joy in her heart.
This was the only person in the world who shared a blood relation with her, the only one.
After the check-up, Xiya sat up and tidied her clothes.
“Doctor, how’s my little bun?”
“Don’t worry, your baby is very healthy.” The doctor responded with a smile.
Hearing that, Xiya relaxed.
Jian Qing handed her the coat, took the ultrasound photo from the doctor, and couldn’t help but marvel at the miracle of life as she looked at the photo.
“Let’s go.”
Xiya put on her shoes, and then put on her hat and sunglasses again.
After expressing their gratitude to the doctor, they were about to leave.
“Wait, are you… Xiya?” The doctor called them back, looking at Xiya with uncertainty.
Now that she had been recognised, Xiya didn’t bother to hide.
She smiled brightly, “Please keep this a secret for me, doctor.”
With those words, she admitted it.
The doctor’s eyes lit up with excitement, “Of course, protecting patient information is the basic responsibility of a doctor. Um, could I ask for your autograph?”
“Of course.” Xiya agreed readily.
“Thank you, my daughter and I love your work.” The doctor handed a pen and paper to Xiya, unintentionally revealing a few wrinkles around the corners of her eyes.
Xiya took the pen and paper, swiftly signing her name.
“Done, here you go.”
The doctor took it and watched as the two of them left.
“It seems Missy is still quite popular.” Xiya’s laugh made her eyes disappear into slits.
Listening to her laughter echoing in the garage, Jian Qing couldn’t help but tap her on the head, “Stop grinning like an idiot, get in the car.”
Xiya opened the car door, just as she was about to get in, she glimpsed a figure passing by in her rear-view mirror.
With just a glimpse, she saw only a blurred silhouette.
“Xiya!”
Jian Qing rolled down the car window and called out.
Xiya frowned but didn’t think much of it. She opened the car door and got in.
The white sports car kicked up the dust and raced away. Not far away, a dark figure emerged from behind a pillar.
Her gaze was fixed on the disappearing car, a trace of shadow flashing across her eyes.
Huh, pregnant?
Xiya, you’re really something!
But even if you’re pregnant, so what? You definitely can’t beat me.
With a thought, she sneered coldly and turned to leave.
…
CEO’s Office
“The press conference is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.” Shen Hao sorted out the contract and looked up at the person sitting across from him, “Does Mr. Luo have any problems with it?”
Jian Luo propped his head up, his stance was lazy, “No issues.”
“Mr. Luo, would you like to review this contract again?” Yi Kai asked.
The moment Jian Luo arrived at the company this morning, it caused quite a stir. When the advisory team and others discovered his identity, they were all taken aback.
Indeed, none of the people around their Missus were simple.
The infamous Samual turned out to be Jian Luo. If this news got out, it would be trending in no time.
