Chapter 1355 - 1348: The Proposal is Underway (6)
Qin Zhiyou nodded, but before she could finish speaking, she shook her head again, her voice murmuring, "No, if you’re going to lie to me, keep lying. Don’t let me find out the truth halfway through. Even if you don’t love me anymore, don’t say it, don’t let me know."
Qin Zhiyou was deeply moved. The first statement might have been a rational confession, but the following one was an impulsive, emotional outburst—something beyond reason. He had never been more certain about the intensity of Lu Weixi’s feelings for him.
He gently held her, running his hand through her hair, his voice soft, "Silly girl."
This was his wife, his child—he had to protect them. He would make sure they were happy, even if it cost him his life.
A few minutes later.
Qin Zhiyou suddenly asked, "Xixi, you’re three months pregnant now, right?"
Lu Weixi nodded. Was the timing of her pregnancy even a question? It had happened during the days they had divorced, and they had just been to the hospital for a prenatal checkup a few days ago.
Qin Zhiyou continued, "There are seven months until the due date, and then there’s the confinement period. If we start counting from now, she’ll be out of confinement around September."
Lu Weixi nodded again. Actually, her pregnancy was going quite well, due around the summer vacation. Although the confinement period would be tough, she could resume her studies afterward without any delay. She had already reduced her workload these past months, and planned to hire a long-term nanny and housekeeper to help care for the child and her mother, balancing work and studies.
Qin Zhiyou added, "You mentioned before that there was some bleeding, right? The doctor said it might be a threatened miscarriage, that the pregnancy isn’t very stable."
