2387 Twins
It wasn’t that Xiao Qing didn’t want to think about the good things, but the two of them were tied up because of their child. It was difficult for her to convince herself of the true meaning of this marriage.

As the two of them were talking, Shen Mubei knocked on the door and walked in.

He was usually cold and taciturn. Although he did not have a straight face at this moment, it was obvious that his aura was still enough to make people retreat.

“Have a seat,” Xiao Qing greeted him. She was actually a little afraid of him. She didn’t know why, but when they were studying in the past, he clearly looked like a young man with a good temperament. Now, he made people feel more and more afraid.

Other than in bed, she actually could not feel his enthusiasm. However, because of her pregnancy, the two of them did not have much chance to do passionate things.

Shen Mubei nodded at Qiao Weiyang as a greeting.

Qiao Weiyang nudged Xiao Qing’s arm and said to her in a low voice, “The menu.”

Xiao Qing quickly handed the menu to Shen Mubei. “We ordered some dishes, but we don’t know your taste. See what else you want to eat.”

She didn’t know his taste? It wasn’t the first time Shen Mubei had dinner with Xiao Qing. Had she never paid attention to it?

He picked up the menu and added a few more dishes before saying, “Weiyang, Xiao Qing said that you’ve helped a lot during this period of time. We want to thank you with this meal.”

“You’re welcome. Qing Qing and I are very good friends. It’s normal for us to help each other.”

Xiao Qing said, “Weiyang’s husband is coming too.”

“Husband?” Shen Mubei was surprised. It was obvious that he did not expect a female artiste who had just returned and was on the rise in her career to be married!

Xiao Qing quickly said, “Weiyang’s marriage won’t affect the project you’re investing in. Don’t worry, she’s very dedicated and won’t mess around.”

Shen Mubei had never thought about his investment in the project. Seeing that Xiao Qing was nervous, he said, “Am I the kind of person who prioritizes money?”

Xiao Qing thought about it and felt that it was true. When it came to projects and careers, he was indeed very professional and strong.

Xiao Qing could not hide anything. It was written all over her face. Shen Mubei saw her answer. He retracted his gaze and recalled what she had just said. She was afraid of getting married. His expression turned cold.

Xiao Qing met his eyes and did not know what to say. She just felt that he was really quite impatient. He always liked to throw a tantrum, even in front of his friends.

Other than money and children, she really couldn’t think of anything else he cared about.

The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

Qiao Weiyang could see the undercurrents between them and said, “I’m an actress, so I’m not easily affected by these matters. I’m fine in these aspects. Qing Qing, what do you want to drink? Is milk okay?”

“Yup.”

Qiao Weiyang handed the menu over again.

With Qiao Weiyang’s efforts, the atmosphere finally recovered.

She also understood Xiao Qing’s concerns about marriage. With Shen Mubei’s personality, it was difficult to tell how the two of them communicated effectively.

Just when the atmosphere was about right again, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Then, Su Zhuoqian appeared.

He naturally walked to Qiao Weiyang’s side and greeted everyone politely.

Shen Mubei’s originally expressionless face was clearly filled with surprise, but he accepted this fact in an instant.

“President Su, we’ve met before.” Shen Mubei extended his hand to him.

“Yes, long time no see. How have you been?”

The two of them had met in the business world before. With just a few words, they became familiar with each other.

The meal was quite enjoyable.

Xiao Qing was finally relieved. She successfully treated her friend to a meal. She was worried about mistreating Qiao Weiyang before this. She had finally survived the night.

Shen Mubei and Su Zhuoqian did not drink. The dinner ended quite quickly. After bidding farewell, everyone got into their cars.

Qiao Weiyang was a little worried. “Looking at Shen Mubei, I don’t know if he’s really good to Xiao Qing. If he’s really doing this just for the child, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for Xiao Qing to deal with a straightforward person like him.”
“At least there’s nothing wrong with Shen Mubei’s character. It’s better to leave matters of the heart to them.”

“I think so too, but seeing that they haven’t really gotten familiar with each other after preparing for the wedding for so long, I can’t help but be a little worried.”

Su Zhuoqian reached out and held her hand to calm her down.

After Xiao Qing got into the car, Shen Mubei tilted his head and glanced at her. She was holding her phone and spinning it casually, looking a little bored.

Seeing that he was driving seriously, she couldn’t help but break the silence. “Why weren’t you very surprised to see President Su tonight?”

“With Qiao Weiyang’s qualifications, it’s not surprising that she can marry such a man. But I’m indeed surprised that she got married at such a young age. Female celebrities usually work hard for a few more years and stabilize their careers before falling in love and getting married. That’s the norm in this industry.”

He praised Qiao Weiyang’s aptitude, which made Xiao Qing quite happy, but she didn’t agree with his other words. “It’s not easy to find a suitable opportunity to fall in love and get married. Although career is important, once you encounter love matters, it’s also very important to seize the chance.”

Those were her true thoughts. Shen Mubei tilted his head and glanced at her. In that case, why was she worried about marrying him?

Heasked, “What about you? What do you think about this marriage?”

“I…” Xiao Qing was caught off guard by his question and was a little flustered. She didn’t know how to answer so that she wouldn’t trigger him. “I… Anyway, don’t we have a child together? Marriage is inevitable.”

As for the rest, she did not dare to have extravagant hopes. Usually, Shen Mubei treated her quite well, but because there was a child between them, she felt that she was not the woman chosen by him. Instead, she felt that it was only because she was carrying his child that he was choosing to be with her.

This ambivalence made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable, and her thoughts were erratic.

“Didn’t you go for a check-up today? How’s the child?” Shen Mubei asked.

“It’s doing quite well,” Xiao Qing replied softly. Her expression was a little lonely. Perhaps in his heart, the child was the only important thing.

For a moment, the two of them did not speak.

When she was with Qiao Weiyang, her expression was much more lively. When she was with Shen Mubei, she did not know what to say. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

“I want to go back to my house. I have to trouble you to drop me off,” Xiao Qing reminded him when she saw that they were about to reach an intersection.
