Chapter 575 - 605: Her Husband Doesn’t Mind, So Why Do You?
Chapter 575: Chapter 605: Her Husband Doesn’t Mind, So Why Do You?
Qin Jiao gave a faint smile and said nothing. Jiang Xiaoyue knew Qin Jiao disliked Lin Nian—she did too—so she didn’t bring her up.
Meng Lanlan, on the other hand, wasn’t thinking so deeply. She hadn’t seen most of them much since college, so she blurted out, "Oh, that’s wonderful! Qin Jiao is having a baby too. Your babies can be classmates someday!"
"You’re pregnant?"
Shen Feng stared at Qin Jiao in shock, his expression contorted, as if... his own wife had just cheated on him?
Lin Nian’s expression soured as well. She glanced at Shen Feng before her gaze returned to Qin Jiao.
In the book she had read, Qin Jiao had never gotten pregnant. In that story, although Qin Jiao and Shen Feng ended up together, Shen Feng’s mother, Li Xiaomei, constantly resented and looked down on her because she couldn’t conceive.
Later on, Li Xiaomei even started looking for a new wife for Shen Feng and targeted Qin Jiao at every turn. Eventually, Qin Jiao couldn’t bear it anymore, and after a misunderstanding with Shen Feng, she prepared to divorce him, only for Shen Feng to try everything to persuade her to come back.
The main characters in that book were truly embroiled in a deeply angsty romance.
After transmigrating here and getting together with Shen Feng, the first time Lin Nian discovered she was pregnant, she had secretly mocked the original female lead, Qin Jiao. ’So it wasn’t Shen Feng’s fault,’ she had thought. ’It was Qin Jiao who had the problem.’
But now... seeing Qin Jiao’s faintly smiling face, even though her stomach was still flat, everyone was saying it. Her pregnancy must be confirmed.
When she saw how Shen Feng was still so concerned about Qin Jiao, even now, a wave of resentment washed over Lin Nian, and her nails dug into her palms.
Meng Lanlan was also a bit taken aback. Though she didn’t know the whole story, she could tell the atmosphere was a little off. She gave an awkward laugh, trying to smooth things over. "Well, it’s all happy news, right? Anyway, we shouldn’t just be sitting here. Let’s get the waiter to bring out the food."
Because they had bumped into Lin Nian and Shen Feng, and they were all former classmates, everyone ended up sitting down to eat together, as Meng Lanlan was unaware of the complicated history among them.
Jiang Xiaoyue was clearly unhappy, but since everyone was already there, she couldn’t very well say anything. She could only shoot Qin Jiao an apologetic glance.
Qin Jiao remained unfazed.
She took the menu and added a few more dishes, all of them her favorites.
Since getting pregnant, Qin Jiao’s appetite had actually improved. In fact, aside from the one time she had fainted, her body felt even healthier than before.
She was no longer a picky eater and had even started to eat things she previously disliked.
Furthermore, she could eat foods that pregnant women are normally supposed to avoid without any issue. Her mother, Su Yun, said it was likely because the baby was very healthy.
But Qin Jiao knew the truth. ’It must be thanks to the Spiritual Spring Water.’
For years, she and her family had been regularly drinking the Spiritual Spring Water. This included Mr. Du, who was elderly and had been in poor health. Their entire family, from top to bottom, hardly ever got sick.
Seeing her looking down at her food and ignoring him, Shen Feng felt a pang of hurt. But what stung even more was the question: ’How could Qin Jiao be pregnant?’
So, during the meal, when Shen Feng saw Qin Jiao actually eating something spicy, he couldn’t help but remind her, "Xiao Jiao, you shouldn’t eat spicy food."
In truth, pregnant women can eat most things, as long as it’s in moderation.
Qin Jiao glanced at Lin Nian, who was sitting beside Shen Feng. Her face had visibly darkened. With a faint smile, Qin Jiao said, "It’s fine. I like it."
Shen Feng opened his mouth to say more, but Lin Nian finally lost her patience. With a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, she said, "Ah Feng, even Qin Jiao’s own husband isn’t telling her what to do. Why are you?"
