Chapter 2301 - 2301: Twins
“If I say…” Shen Mubei had just opened his mouth when his phone rang. He frowned and glanced at it. “I’ll take this call first.’
Xiao Qing nodded and watched him turn around and leave.
Shen Mubei wanted to ask her if she would keep the child if he was willing to have it and take responsibility for her.
Xiao Qing’s gaze followed his back, then she gently lowered her head to hide her delusions. It was already good enough that he could accompany her to the hospital. There was nothing else she could ask for.
Besides, if his girlfriend found out about this… how would she feel?
Just thinking about it made Xiao Qing’s breathing quicken. She felt that she had committed a great evil. She was really hypocritical and vicious.
It was Shen Mubei’s mother calling him.
Madam Shen asked directly, “I heard that you got Xiao Qing pregnant?” “Mom, how did you find out?” Shen Mubei had a headache.
“Your Aunt Xiao called me! What’s wrong with you, child? Why didn’t you tell us that you have a child? What’s going on?”
Madam Shen spoke repeatedly, but Shen Mubei pinched the space between his eyebrows and said nothing.
Madam Shen said, “I know that child, Xiao Qing. Although I can’t say that I’m familiar with her, I know that she’s a child with a good character. Since she’s already pregnant, it means that the two of you are quite familiar with each other. You don’t have to say anything else. This child has to stay. Come out of the hospital now and bring Xiao Qing home. Do you understand?”
“I haven’t gotten Xiao Qing’s agreement yet.”
“Shen Mubei! You’re a blockhead. You’re a man. What’s wrong with giving in a little? Women are shy creatures. Do you want them to humbly tell you that they want to keep the child and marry you? If you don’t take the initiative, who will? Hurry up and make a move. Don’t talk so much nonsense. Bring her back for lunch. That’s settled.”
After saying that, the person on the other end of the line hung up. It was in line with her usual fiery temper.
Xiao Qing was standing on the spot, thinking about something expressionlessly. When she saw Shen Mubei, she quickly stood up straight.
As she watched him walk over step by step, Xiao Qing’s psychological defense collapsed bit by bit.
Initially, she thought that after aborting the child and experiencing this calamity, she could completely abandon him.
However, just by looking at his figure now, she knew that it would be very difficult.
She retracted her gaze until Shen Mubei approached her.
She turned around and continued to the obstetrics and gynecology department. “Xiao Qing, let’s keep the child.” Shen Mubei stopped her. “If you’re willing.”
Xiao Qing stopped in her tracks. She did not feel too happy. “President Shen, stop joking. Please respect your girlfriend.”
“If you keep the child, of course, you’ll be my girlfriend. We’ll get married too. I’ll take responsibility for you and the child.”
This was what Shen Mubei wanted to say.
Even if his mother hadn’t called, he would have asked Xiao Qing the same question.
Perhaps all of this was destined from the moment he was willing to accept Xiao Qing that night. When he and Zhao Xinshu agreed to end their relationship early, he had already laid the groundwork.
Xiao Qing’s chest was surging with anger. What did he mean?
With a child, she could be his girlfriend and they could get married?
Why would he have such thoughts?
What kind of attitude did he have toward his girlfriend? What kind of person did he take her for?
Suddenly, Xiao Qing felt that the man’s image had collapsed in her mind. She closed her eyes in discomfort. She clenched her fists and said word by word, “I don’t need you to be responsible for me. Let’s go. If we miss the appointment, we might have to line up later.”
She walked forward and did not notice the lonely look on the man’s face behind her.
She had just taken two steps when her cell phone rang.
She picked it up and heard her mother’s voice. “Qing Qing, Mubei told you, right? I went to look for your Aunt Shen. She was overjoyed when she found out that you’re pregnant! She immediately asked you to keep the child. She’ll arrange the preparations for the wedding. She’ll definitely hold a grand ceremony for you.”
“Mom!” When Xiao Qing heard this, she felt her face turn red. She was ashamed. “How could you do this?! We agreed that everything would be fine after this matter was resolved and we’d pretend that nothing had happened. Why did you contact the Shen family?”
“I’m doing this for your own good. Do you think I’m willing to watch you undergo surgery? Have you thought about how much this kind of thing will hurt your body and your heart? If it’s not because I feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t have abandoned my dignity to make the call.”
Mrs. Xiao’s voice was faintly choked with tears.
Xiao Qing’s heart softened. She knew that this was her mother’s painstaking efforts.
She also understood why Shen Mubei had such a sudden change. It turned out that his family had also exerted pressure on him.
Xiao Qing suddenly felt extremely powerless. She was silent.
Her mother’s voice continued, “Shen Mubei is a good person. Qing Qing, listen to me. You have to consider this matter carefully no matter what.”
Ziao Qing gripped the phone tightly.
“Take it as though I’m pleading with you, Qing Qing.”
Xiao Qing hung up the phone and gripped her cell phone tightly.
Her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
She heard the man’s familiar footsteps until he stood in front of her.
“Come home with me and let’s have lunch together,” Shen Mubei said calmly. It was as if he was in control of her emotions and was sure that she would not reject.
Xiao Qing followed him like a puppet.
Mr. Shen was not at home, and Madam Shen’s attitude was very enthusiastic.
She was all smiles. As soon as Xiao Qing entered, she stood up to welcome her.
She held Xiao Qing’s hand and said, “If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn’t know that Mubei had caused such a big commotion. He didn’t even inform the family. When I heard, I quickly invited you home. I wonder what you like to eat?”
“Aunt, thank you. I’m not picky with food.” Xiao Qing’s voice was thin and small. A sense of guilt rose in her heart.
“Shen Mubei, go to the kitchen and tell them what Qing Qing likes to eat!”
