Chapter 1534: Chapter 886: Master Huo Reduced to a Tool, Jiangjiang the Little Debt Collector (3rd Update)
Si Qingxiao was genuinely a little flustered. Although Tang Wan and Shen Shuci couldn’t be said to be very experienced, they were both past that stage and understood her feelings at the moment. Shen Shuci called Huo Qinqi, asking him to go purchase a few early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test kits.
When buying such things, you definitely need to find someone with a tight lip and who is reliable. Otherwise, if nothing comes of the test and the news gets out, it would really be a joke.
Huo Qinqi received the call, looking puzzled: "Why are you buying this? Are you pregnant again? I was so careful."
Shen Shuci blushed at someone’s bluntness: "It’s not me, just go buy them, don’t ask so many questions, and be cautious not to let anyone else find out."
Huo Qinqi frowned. There were only three people in the room, so if not her, then was it Tang Wan? But he hadn’t heard Jiang Jinsang planning for a second child...
So who’s left? Si Qingxiao?
Despite his doubts, Huo Qinqi still left the wedding banquet, drove to the nearest pharmacy to buy the items, and came back. There were too many people at the wedding, and the frequent car traffic to pick up friends and family meant that Huo Qinqi’s brief departure didn’t attract much attention.
**
When Si Qingxiao received the items wrapped in a black plastic bag, her head felt a little dizzy.
She felt that Tang Wan and Shen Shuci must be overthinking, but she was a bit scared and didn’t want to take the test. "It’s probably just a cold, it can’t be that, better not do it."
Although she said that, she couldn’t shake her anxiety.
"You’ll feel more at ease if you take the test. If there’s nothing, there’s nothing. After all, you’ve already bought them," Tang Wan said, noticing her anxious face. "With that expression, not only will Uncle and Auntie ask what’s wrong, even Fourth Brother will."
"You came out with me, and if you’re unwell and I don’t inform them in time, you know how Fourth Brother is, I’ll definitely be in trouble."
"If it’s just a cold, then taking some medicine is fine, but if you really are..."
"Forget taking medicine; there are dietary restrictions even with food."
Tang Wan’s intention was to seek peace of mind, and Si Qingxiao also understood the reasoning, but she was genuinely afraid.
Even if they hadn’t bought these things today, for the sake of peace of mind, Si Qingxiao would’ve secretly tested herself anyway.
She gritted her teeth, took the items, and went into the bathroom; Huo Qinqi had bought several types. She seemed to be checking the instructions and usage methods, her demeanor...
Was quite tragic, as if heading into a fierce battlefield.
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci started whispering to each other.
"From the way she looks, it really doesn’t seem like just a cold, more like she’s pregnant," Shen Shuci stated directly. "When I was pregnant, I threw up for so long, so I do have a bit of experience."
"I think so too, but she seemed very scared, so I didn’t dare say it," Tang Wan said, holding Jiang Xiaowai. "Let’s wait until she comes out from testing."
**
The more anxious Si Qingxiao became, the longer she lingered in the bathroom, while the wedding banquet was about to start. Huo Qinqi went ahead, and it was normal for Tang Wan and Shen Shuci, who had children to care for, to be a little late.
"Why isn’t she out yet? Should I go help?" Shen Zhixian asked, naturally assuming it could be feeding or changing a diaper.
"She’ll be out soon," Huo Qinqi replied confidently.
"Old Huo, there you are, Qiqi was looking for you earlier, our friends want a group photo, but we couldn’t find you," Jiang Chengsi walked over, his fingers casually resting on his shoulder.
"Busy," Huo Qinqi replied bluntly.
Huo Qinqi couldn’t exactly tell him:
I might have helped your wife buy those things. Even Huo Qinqi was baffled by how he got involved in this.
"Busy with your little aunt, huh? I know you’re leaving in a couple of days, I bet Qiqi will make you drink tonight..." Jiang Chengsi said with a carefree smile.
Huo Qinqi typically maintained a poker face and was good at keeping secrets. He had kept even Jiang Jinsang from knowing about his relationship with Shen Shuci, so hiding his emotions came easy.
...
Meanwhile, squatting in the bathroom, Si Qingxiao didn’t have such a composed expression.
Her gaze was vacant, her mind in disarray, even her fingers holding the pregnancy test were trembling slightly.
Seeing them taking so long to enter, Shen Zhixian frowned and leaned over to Jiangjiang’s ear, "Go check in the back for Aunt and Second Aunt."
"Okay!" Jiangjiang obediently agreed, especially since he had a pocket stuffed with a bulky stack of red envelopes, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
"They might be in Little Uncle’s room we visited. Remember the way?"
This little uncle was an unexpected discovery; Shen Zhixian had previously brought the child to meet him.
"I know, it’s just back there." Jiangjiang said, jumping off the bench and scurrying towards the back.
Si Yushan and his wife, seated with the Jiang Family at the same table, were getting a bit worried about their daughter’s absence. If they went looking, people might think something happened. It was more suitable to let the child urge her along.
Shen Zhixian chuckled, addressing them, "I sent Jiangjiang to find her, she should be back shortly."
Jiangjiang hopped along, charging straight to the resting room where Shen Shuci was.
In hindsight, if it weren’t for Jiangjiang, perhaps the situation wouldn’t have escalated. There’s an old saying that children are debt collectors.
Jiang Chengsi felt perplexed:
You brat should go collect from your parents, why keep bugging me for debts?
Did I owe you millions in my past life?
