After Zhou Qiang left, Xu Jing focused all her thoughts on work. She didn't want to give herself any leisure time to miss Zhou Qiang. As for Zhou Qi, he came to pick her up and drop her off from work every day and often discussed work with Wei Jianhua. Everyone had long accepted their relationship. But only Xu Jing knew that her attitude towards Zhou Qi was more like that of a client rather than a lover. Xu Jing's state and her relationship with Zhou Qi puzzled her colleagues.
Zhang Shuya couldn't help but ask Xu Jing, "What exactly is going on between you and Manager Zhou? Are you two a couple now?" Xu Jing thought for a moment and shook her head, "No." Zhang Shuya asked, "Then you two..." Xu Jing smiled but didn't say anything.
While Zhou Qi was inspecting the construction site, a worker suddenly rushed over, " Manager Zhou, it's bad! Xu Jing suddenly has a stomachache; she might be in labor." Zhou Qi's expression changed, and he ran outside. By the time he got out, Xu Jing had already been lifted into a car by her colleagues, ready to head to the hospital. Zhou Qi quickly jumped into the car and accompanied Xu Jing to the hospital.
On the way, Zhou Qi tightly held Xu Jing's hand, his voice trembling, "Don't be afraid; I'm with you. Don't be afraid." Xu Jing was sweating from the pain but managed to force a smile at him, "I'm not afraid." Zhou Qi remained silent. Xu Jing added, "Zhou Qiang is watching over me from above; I'll be fine." Zhou Qi stayed silent again.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Qi directly carried Xu Jing onto a stretcher and rushed inside. The nurse saw this scene and quickly came over to help get Xu Jing into the examination room. After some checks, the nurse said to Zhou Qi, "The pregnant woman is about to give birth; we need to prepare the delivery bag. Do you have her ID card, household registration book, and marriage certificate?" Zhou Qi replied, "I have them." The nurse said, "Then hurry up and handle the paperwork."
Xu Jing coldly looked at Zhou Qi and said, "The child is mine; you don't need to handle the paperwork as the child's father." Zhou Qi remained silent. Xu Jing insisted, "I said the child is mine." Zhou Qi replied quietly, "I was prepared long ago." Xu Jing fell silent again as she was pushed into the operating room.
Zhou Qi arranged for someone to get the delivery bag while waiting outside the operating room. Colleagues were whispering among themselves.
“Why isn’t Manager Zhou Xu Jing’s husband?”
“Yeah, who is Xu Jing’s husband?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen him.”
“That’s strange. Whose child is Xu Jing carrying?”
“Who knows? This is too complicated.”
“……”
Zhou Qi listened to his colleagues' discussions. Although he felt a bit hurt inside, he thought it was okay; he could still care for Xu Jing and the child.
He could do many things.
Xu Jing ultimately did not terminate the pregnancy.
She thought that having the child would create a bond between her and Zhou Qi.
She wanted to use the child to keep Zhou Qi tied to her.
Zhou Qi thought that now that Xu Jing had given birth, he would start caring for the child and pampering him. When the child grew up, he would surely understand his intentions.
By then, Xu Jing would no longer reject him.
Both of them had their own thoughts but were unaware that their feelings were so aligned.
Three hours later, Xu Jing came out of the operating room.
The nurse came out holding the baby and smiled at Zhou Qi, saying, “Congratulations! It’s a boy, weighing 3550 grams.”
Zhou Qi’s eyes lit up: “A boy?”
The nurse nodded: “Yes.”
Zhou Qi quickly asked, “How is my wife?”
The nurse replied, “She’s getting stitched up; she’ll be out soon.”
Zhou Qi nodded and reached out to hold the baby in his arms.
His colleagues curiously gathered around.
“ Manager Zhou, let us see the baby!”
“So cute! He looks just like you!”
“Yeah, he’s exactly your mini-me.”
“……”
Zhou Qi looked at the little one in his arms, feeling a wave of softness in his heart.
This was Xu Jing and his child.
Zhou Qi raised his head and looked at the operating room door, silently saying, “Zhou Qiang, thank you. I will take good care of Xu Jing and the child.”
When Xu Jing came out of the operating room, Zhou Qi was already waiting for her in the ward, holding the baby.
She lay on the hospital bed, watching Zhou Qi carefully cradle the child with tenderness in his eyes, and her heart felt like it was pricked by something.
At that moment, she suddenly wanted to see how Zhou Qiang would have held their child.
She thought that if Zhou Qiang were still alive, they should also have a lovely child by now.
Xu Jing closed her eyes as tears silently fell.
Zhou Qiang, are you doing well in heaven?
"Do you miss me too?"
Zhou Qi saw Xu Jing crying and quickly handed the baby to the nurse. He hurried to her bedside and gently asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Jing shook her head, opened her eyes to look at him, and said, "I'm fine."
Zhou Qi looked at her swollen eyes, feeling extremely heartbroken. "Does it hurt a lot? Just hang in there; it will be better after today."
Xu Jing looked at him and suddenly asked, "Zhou Qi, why are you so good to me?"
Zhou Qi smiled and replied, "Because you are Xu Jing."
Xu Jing: "..."
Zhou Qi: "Xu Jing, because you deserve it."
Xu Jing looked into his eyes, suddenly unsure of what to say.
The nurse placed the baby in the stroller and smiled at Xu Jing, saying, "Your mother just came out of the operating room. She's very weak and needs to rest, so don't disturb her for too long."
The colleagues tactfully left the room.
Only Xu Jing and Zhou Qi remained in the ward.
Xu Jing looked at the baby in the stroller; the little one was chubby and fair-skinned, looking just like his father.
A warm feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
This child was her family.
Zhou Qi sat by the bed and softly asked her, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"
Xu Jing shook her head.
Zhou Qi asked, "Are you hungry? I bought some porridge; would you like to eat a little?"
Xu Jing looked at him, suddenly unsure of what to say.
The nurse came in to take Xu Jing's temperature and saw Zhou Qi sitting by the bed. She smiled and said, "Your husband is really good to you. While you were in the operating room, he kept pacing outside; we were all worried he might get dizzy."
Xu Jing: "..."
Zhou Qi: "..."
(The End)
