"Are you crazy? Before talking about me, take a look at how many scandals you have yourself."
Seeing that these two were about to start a scuffle, Han Xi quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, let’s go eat."
Today was Han Xi’s first time meeting Bai Antong, and since they weren’t too familiar, she couldn’t say much, so she just signaled Yan Xiao with her eyes to shut up.
The group sat down at the dining table, and Bai Antong looked warmly at Han Xi, "Sister-in-law, how about the two of us go shopping later?"
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, it’s not really suitable for her to go shopping."
"Hey bro, can you stop interrupting? My sister-in-law hasn’t even said anything yet."
Han Xi lifted her head with a slight smile, "How about we go another day? I’m not feeling too well today."
Han Xi wasn’t familiar with Bai Antong at all; she really wouldn’t know what to talk about if they went shopping together, and it would definitely be awkward.
"Alright, another day then."
After the meal, Yan Xiao had to leave early for work, while Bai Antong stayed until dusk before leaving.
......
Chu Ci had been in the hospital for a week. Today, after the doctor’s examination determined everything was fine, she was allowed to be discharged.
Somehow, reporters and fans found out that Chu Ci was hospitalized and were now waiting outside the gate.
As Fu Bin supported Chu Ci out of the hospital, they were blocked by the crowd. Fu Bin frowned and protected Chu Ci in his arms, "Please, everyone, make way."
Reporters kept taking pictures with their cameras, "We heard that Chu Ci was hospitalized because of being stalked by a male fan, and the baby almost had a miscarriage. Are these rumors true?"
"Is that male fan still bothering you?"
Chu Ci was puzzled about how they found out about this. She put on a very official smile, "There’s no male fan stalking me. I just had a little accident and tripped myself. Sorry, please let us through; I want to go home now."
Chu Ci didn’t want to end up on any trending topic again, so she casually made up an excuse to brush them off.
A little girl from the crowd of fans walked over, "Sister Chu Ci, this is a gift for you. I hope you can accept it."
"Thank you, little girl."
Chu Ci accepted the pink teddy bear with a smile and got into the car with Fu Bin.
When they drove back home, Han Xi and Li Manman were already in the living room, "Why did it take you so long to get back?"
"We were blocked by reporters at the hospital gate."
Chu Ci bent down and fetched a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into, then walked to the living room with the doll in her arms.
"Why did you get a teddy bear?" Li Manman glanced at the doll in Chu Ci’s hands, feeling it didn’t quite match her style.
"A fan just gave it to me. I thought it looked nice, so I brought it back."
After Fu Bin carried the luggage upstairs, he said there was some urgent business at the company and he needed to leave, asking Han Xi and Manman to keep Chu Ci company.
Once Fu Bin left, Li Manman sprawled out on the sofa, "For the whole week, Fu Bin’s been taking care of you non-stop. You said before you just wanted to borrow him for his genes, not the person. But look at you now, can’t live without him."
Before Chu Ci could speak, Li Manman paused and continued, "If back then you had accidentally borrowed genes from another man, you might still be all alone right now. You’re lucky."
"To have a girlfriend like me by his side is his luck," Chu Ci replied with a laugh and took a sip of the juice from the coffee table.
