Chapter 716: Chapter 717 She Will Understand
“Your health isn’t good, she will understand.”
Gu Qiangwei said nothing, just staring at him.
Qin Sijue also wouldn’t compromise.
Because of the full-month celebration, Old Master Qin had gone as well. Other than the maids, there were only two bodyguards standing outside the door.
What if something happened to her?
In the end, it was Gu Qiangwei who compromised.
“Then dial the phone, I’ll talk to my sister-in-law myself.”
Qin Sijue obediently did as told, took out his cellphone, and dialed Feng Jinglei’s number.
Soon, the call was answered and he handed the phone to her.
“Qiangwei, how are you? I heard from Grandma that you were feeling unwell and went to the hospital?” Feng Jinglei’s concerned voice came quickly from the other end.
Thinking that she had left such an important event, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help feeling guilty.
“Mm, I am fine. I have already returned to Jueyuan, it’s just… I might not be able to go back to Yiyi’s full-month celebration.”
“It’s alright, pregnancy is very tough. Just take good care of yourself.”
“I should hang up then, please rest well.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qiangwei felt somewhat reassured.
Once she felt a bit better, she would definitely have to buy a big gift for Qin Yi as a compensation for her absence this time!
“Can you rest easy now?” Watching her, Qin Sijue spoke, reaching out to fiddle with a few strands of her hair that had fallen onto her forehead, his actions extremely gentle and indulgent.
Gu Qiangwei nodded, indeed feeling somewhat sleepy.
After giving him a look, the next second she closed her eyes.
About twenty minutes later, Qin Sijue suddenly remembered something and stood up to leave the room.
When he returned, he had a laptop in his hand.
Opening Baidu, he searched for a few keywords like ‘pregnancy nausea’ in hopes of finding some methods to relieve morning sickness online.
In his search, he was very careful and cautious, because some answers were unsubstantiated and therefore unsafe in his opinion.
He was very quiet, afraid to disturb the resting person in bed. As he glanced over, he clearly saw that even with her eyes closed, Gu Qiangwei’s brow was still uncomfortably furrowed.
Finally, Qin Sijue seemed to have found a method to alleviate the morning sickness.
He glanced at the quiet figure in bed and felt that she must be deeply asleep before he got up, put down the laptop, picked up the car keys, and left.
Entering the supermarket, he planned to select some soda crackers and ginger-containing drinks as suggested by the online information, followed by some fruits and such.
He didn’t know if these things would actually provide relief, but right now it seemed he would rather believe in their potential benefit than dismiss them outright. Moreover, these were safe foods and should be harmless to her body.
Gu Qiangwei’s sleep wasn’t actually that sound.
Her eyelids were just heavy; the reason she lay so still was that she had no desire to move.
She was acutely aware that any movement would intensify the nauseating surge in her stomach. And it was this stifling nausea that prevented her from sleeping.
Lying in one position for too long was exhausting, so Gu Qiangwei tried to turn over.
The moment she turned, the nauseating feeling came, and she couldn’t control it anymore. She got up, rushed to the washroom, leaned over the toilet, and started to retch.
At first, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t vomit anything out, but in the end, she threw up some sour liquid.
