After Qiao Xi became pregnant, Boss Shen, who had always seemed cool and collected, acted like he was facing a great enemy.
He had his business partners return to manage IDC Capital, and left Meng Jing and a few others in charge of GK Entertainment.
He devoted himself entirely to taking care of Qiao Xi at home. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
Qiao Xi was naturally slim, and she was carrying twins, which made Shen Dang constantly worry for her safety to the point where he almost wanted to keep her by his belt to take care of.
His anxious appearance made Qiao Xi laugh.
But her laughter soon faded.
Her morning sickness was severe; she had no appetite for anything and would vomit after eating, leaving her even thinner than before her pregnancy.
Shen Dang was at a loss seeing her and wished he could suffer in her place, so he took even greater care of her.
He came up with various ways to prepare food for her.
He was extremely cautious with everything.
When she felt miserable, he felt the same.
Seeing his worried face all the time, Qiao Xi ended up comforting him.
But she often felt moody, unable to control her temper, feeling aggrieved and shedding tears unexpectedly.
Sometimes, she felt she was being unreasonable, but it would happen again next time.
Regardless of her outbursts, Shen Dang still pampered her, even more than before.
Shen Dang had no complaints.
He almost poured out his heart for her.
After the chaotic first three months passed, Qiao Xi’s morning sickness faded, and her appetite increased significantly. Shen Dang customized daily diets to enrich her nutrition.
Only when her pregnancy showed signs of stability did Shen Dang inform their friends and family.
Upon hearing the news, Ran Jing rushed to Riverfront Villa and scolded Shen Dang.
She couldn’t believe he had waited until now to tell her!
This was indeed unkind of him, and Shen Dang couldn’t rebuff. He just let Ran Jing lash out.
Qiao Xi spoke up for Shen Dang, "He’s taken such good care of me these past few months, I’ve even gained two kilos. We didn’t tell you earlier because we were afraid you’d worry; it’s all stable now."
Ran Jing was immensely sympathetic, touching Qiao Xi’s cheek, "I could have taken care of you. Ah Dang has to work; how can he take good care of you? Come stay with me at Shen’s house, Mom will cook whatever you want every day."
Shen Dang couldn’t help but retort, "Mom, you’re telling tall tales now."
Ran Jing suddenly couldn’t stand her son, "You kept it a secret for so long, and you still think you’re right?"
Her fury bubbling, "Shut up, you have no say here!"
Qiao Xi smiled, "I’m quite comfortable living here. Shen Dang has taken the annual leave; he’s with me every day."
Others take annual leaves; Shen Dang’s leave is a true annual leave; he plans to not work for a whole year.
Ran Jing compromised, "Then I’ll stay here. Otherwise, I really can’t rest assured with Ah Dang taking care of you alone."
"But you’re only three months pregnant, why is your belly so big?"
Ran Jing noticed something was off.
Shen Dang lazily said, "Did I not tell you? Xixi is carrying twins."
Unsurprisingly, Shen Dang got another beating from Ran Jing.
With the Shen family having a single heir for three generations, and now Qiao Xi carrying twins, Ran Jing picked a fine day to go uphill and pray.
She received a peace charm from a master and placed it under Qiao Xi’s pillow.
With the care of both Shen Dang and Ran Jing, Qiao Xi gradually grew fuller.
Wang Li specifically visited Qiao Xi.
"Xixi, your focus will undoubtedly shift to family and children, so are you considering retiring from the circle?"
Qiao Xi felt her current life was good, peaceful, and happy, surrounded by family and children, and she believed the future would be even better.
Qiao Xi smiled slightly, her cool face filled with warmth, "I’ll consider continuing acting when the children grow up."
Her film career was her lifelong pursuit.
She would not give up.
Wang Li understood her intention and discussed work-related matters with her for a long time.
Qiao Xi hadn’t posted on Weibo for almost half a year, and her fans had been waiting for news of her joining a new film set; unexpectedly, they saw an update about her announcing her pregnancy.
[Qiao Xi V: Life has entered a new stage, I am now a mom, I believe in a promising future, see you another day.]
The news shocked both the entertainment industry and her fans.
[Won the Movie Queen and then retired?]
[Can you stop being so harsh on female actresses? She never said she’d retire.]
[As a CP fan, I’ve been eager for a baby, and couldn’t imagine my sister is actually pregnant now, congrats!]
[Qiao Xi is a fine actress, as a career fan, I respect your choice.]
[I’ve been waiting for your new movie, but to my disappointment, I heard you are having a baby now.]
