“It’s not your fault. This kind of thing is complicated.” Su Zhuoqian sat beside her. “I said it yesterday. It might be her psychological pressure.”

Qiao Weiyang smiled. In his eyes, nothing she did was wrong. He could always find a reasonable reason for her.

She said softly, “Fortunately, Qing Qing is still young. But… the situation between her and Shen Mubei might be more complicated this time.”

As she spoke, the lights above the operating room went out and Xiao Qing was sent out.

Her face was a little pale. When she saw Qiao Weiyang, she smiled weakly.

“Zhuoqian, please buy some food.”

After Su Zhuoqian left, Xiao Qing said weakly, “I’m sorry for calling you over so early in the morning. I didn’t dare to alarm my mother. I was afraid that her blood pressure would rise and there’d be problems with her heart.”

“How did you end up like this? Your fetus was indeed a little unstable, but logically speaking, it shouldn’t have…”

“So you realized as well that it was a little unstable, huh? Actually, I could vaguely sense it myself. Recently, the pain in my lower abdomen has been very obvious, and I’ve even bled a few times. Actually, I knew in my heart that I might not be fated with the child.”

If Qiao Weiyang knew it through her medical skills, then she knew it through her intuition as a mother.

It was precisely because of this that she felt even more insecure.

Seeing that she already knew everything in her heart, Qiao Weiyang’s heart ached even more. “You’re thinking too much.”

“Weiyang, I really feel terrible. I see the others happily preparing for my wedding every day. Everyone says that I’m marrying well. The Shen family is rich and powerful. Shen Mubei is also a good person and has outstanding ability, but only I understand… that he’s not marrying me because of me. We’re getting married without any foundation to our relationship. Others only see the superficial glory,” Xiao Qing said in a low voice.

“Rest for a while. Don’t think too much.”

“It’s nothing. Anyway, I have to rest well later. Sigh, now that the child is gone, I’m relieved. I don’t have to rely on this child to maintain such a painful situation…”

Seeing that she had already made up her mind not to get married, Qiao Weiyang knew that it was useless to persuade her.

Putting herself in her shoes, she might also find it difficult to accept such a marriage.

Having loved and being in love, it would become harder to accept certain relationship flaws.

“Weiyang, I want to find a time to tell my mom about this. You don’t have to mention it to her yet,” Xiao Qing reminded.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Go do your own things first. I’m fine now. I’ll rest for a while and stay for observation to make sure there are no problems. I’ll deal with it myself.”

The effects of anesthesia in Xiao Qing had yet to fade. She closed her eyes, clearly tired.

When she came out, Su Zhuoqian had bought some nutritious food. Qiao Weiyang put the food on Xiao Qing’s bedside table and walked out again.

Su Zhuoqian said, “I’ll call Lu Mingjue and ask him to…”

“No need, I can still continue working. It’s okay.” Qiao Weiyang shook her head. “If I can’t even handle such a small matter, when will the movie be done?”

Su Zhuoqian sent her to the set and said softly, “If there’s anything, call me.”

“Yeah, it’s fine.” Qiao Weiyang shook her head.

Su Zhuoqian watched her enter the set.

While she was putting on makeup, Tao Huan walked in with a cup of fragrant hot coffee. She came to Qiao Weiyang and said in a low voice, “Sister Weiyang, President Su specially ordered this for you.”

It was Qiao Weiyang’s favorite flavor. It contained more condensed milk and sugar. It was indeed useful to get the dopamine going.

Qiao Weiyang pursed her lips and smiled. She took it and slowly took two sips. As she consumed the sugar and caffeine, her mood gradually brightened.

Shen Mubei had been pulling a long face ever since he went back last night.

At noon, Madam Shen finally couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Qing Qing? Why didn’t she come back with you?”

“She went back home to stay with her mother.”

“That’s good too. This child is obedient and sensible. It’s right to spend more time with her mother now. She’s going to be a mother soon, so she won’t have the time after this.”
Seeing that Shen Mubei was silent, Madam Shen said, “Bring her home for dinner tonight. I’ve stewed some ingredients to nourish her body. It’s very beneficial to her.”

“Got it.”

“Don’t pull a long face every day. I’m your mother and even I find it hard to tolerate you. How can others tolerate your bad temper? I think it’s only because Qing Qing has a good temper that she doesn’t take it seriously.”

On his way out, Shen Mubei took a look at himself in the mirror. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His clothes were neat and tidy. There was nothing wrong with him, but he did not smile at all.

He was already used to this. Back then, before he graduated from university, there was a huge change in his family. The entire Shen family almost fell because of this. At that time, he was also extremely poor. Later on, he salvaged the family business by himself.

At that time, he was still young. If he did not keep a straight face, how could he convince the public?

Being rigid had become a habit. It was not something that could be changed just like that.

He made a smiley face. He felt awkward and reverted to his usual expression.

For the entire day, there was no news from Xiao Qing.

Although the two would usually have some small conflicts, she would still contact him and tell him some interesting things or chat with him.

Shen Mubei could not sit still anymore. He ended the meeting early and went to the underground parking lot.

He was about to get into the car when his assistant’s car returned. He stopped the car, got out, and walked toward him quickly. “President Shen!”

“Don’t report Zhao Xinshu’s matter to me. It’s fine as long as it’s done,” Shen Mubei said.

“It’s done. The money is in place. The matter that had to be resolved has been resolved. I’ve also conveyed your intentions clearly for you. I told her not to contact you again in the future, but…”

“What?”

The assistant said in a low voice, “I don’t know if I should say it…”

“Did you start this just to keep me hanging?”

“I wouldn’t dare,” the assistant said. “When I was in the hospital, I think I saw Miss Xiao.”

“What? What’s her situation? Have you asked around?” Xiao Qing had just gone for a prenatal check-up yesterday. She wouldn’t have gone again today. Something must have happened.

“I think… I think she had an operation and aborted the child.”

After the assistant finished speaking, he felt the cold air on Shen Mubei’s body suddenly explode like a nuclear explosion. The air froze.

He lowered his head and did not dare to say another word until he heard Shen Mubei’s car leave the underground parking lot with an ear-piercing screech.

Shen Mubei’s face darkened as he drove quickly and called Xiao Qing.
