Chapter 362: I’m Pregnant

“Qianqian…” The old lady seemed to not know what to say. After opening her mouth, she sighed clearly.

Lin Qingqian suppressed her chaotic mind and pursed her lips. Her hoarse voice slowly sounded. “You knew long ago?”

There was another sigh on the other end of the phone. “How can I not know what my grandson is like?”

Jiang Yanshen had been smart since he was young, but he couldn’t think straight. How could she not see the changes in him after living together for so many years?

“Then you also agree with him doing this?” Lin Qingqian spoke again. As soon as she finished speaking, she held her breath.

The old lady was silent for a moment before saying earnestly, “Qianqian, both Yanshen and Ah Yan are my grandsons. The back and front of a palm are both covered with the same flesh. If you were me, how would you choose?”

Ah Yan was a smart child. He looked cold but was actually kind. If he was really her grandson, she would naturally be happy. Unfortunately… he was a split personality.

It was destined not to last long.

The few simple words had already expressed her attitude. Between Jiang Xiao Jiu and Ah Yan, she chose the former.

Lin Qingqian’s hand that was holding the phone suddenly dropped down, and her heart ached. The mist in her eyes could no longer be held back and condensed into tears that fell.

Her fingers that were holding the cell phone turned white. In the end, she couldn’t help but raise her arm and smash the cell phone to the ground. She finally understood why he said, “Other than you, no one else in this world has ever loved me.”

She finally understood why he said, “My existence is meaningful only if I have you to love me.”

There was no one else. Other than her, no one would love him.

There was no one else. Other than her, everyone had chosen to abandon him.

She curled up into a ball, tears rolling down her cheeks as she sobbed silently.

Gained and lost, lost and regained, he kept all the best for her to protect her safety…

But what was the point of all this without him?

Ah Yan, without you… What is the point of all this?

With Han Liubai watching over the company’s matters, Lin Qingqian did not have to worry too much. It was just that it was close to the finals of the S.T. Costume Design Competition and her design drafts had yet to be drawn.

Han Liubai and Suisui came to the house to see her. When they saw that she seemed to have lost weight, their eyes revealed worry.

Lin Qingqian did not want them to worry, so she acted indifferent and asked the auntie to prepare their favorite food before asking them about the company.

After dinner, Suisui called Lu Qinshang and unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa.

Lin Qingqian took a thin blanket and covered her body, inviting Han Liubai to sit in the courtyard.

The weather has been good recently. The wind was gentle and the sun was shining. The green plants in the flower beds were growing well, but it was still impossible to tell what they were.

Lin Qingqian used the watering can to water the plants while Han Liubai stood beside her. His calm voice couldn’t hide his worry. “Qingqian, he…”

“I’m pregnant.” Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. The two words were no less than thunder to Han Liubai’s ears.

His clear eyes were filled with shock as he looked at her.

“Although I don’t know what Ah Yan told you, I Imow that he loved me.” Lin Qingqian’s lips curved. “He spent so much effort to keep this child for me. I’ll definitely give birth to it safely and raise it well.”

Han Liubai quickly regained his composure from his shock. His throat moved and he squeezed out four words after a long time. ‘What about Jiang Yanshen?”

“This is my and Ah Yan’s child. It has nothing to do with him,” Lin Qingqian replied indifferently.

Even if this child was related to Jiang Xiao Jiu by blood, it was not Jiang Xiao Jiu’s child in her heart.

This was Ah Yan’s child, a gift that he had tried his best to give her.

How could Han Liubai not understand the meaning behind her words? His face gradually turned pale. “Are you blaming me? Actually, Ming Xiao has long…”

“Xiao Bai.” Lin Qingqian seemed to know what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly. She shook her head gently. “I know you’ve never thought of hurting me. Similarly…

I cannot fit anyone else into my heart other than Ah Yan.”

Han Liubai clenched his fists tightly by his side, a trace of unwillingness flashing across his clear eyes. “If I met you earlier than him, would it be different now?”

Lin Qingqian chuckled and shook her head. Her voice was calm as she said, “There’s never been such a thing as a step earlier or later in this world. Our encounter was actually destined long ago.

Just like me and Ah Yan. The first person I saw and fell in love with was clearly not him, but the person I ultimately loved was him.”

Han Liubai watched as the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, but he felt extremely sad.

Her rejection was so clean that it told him that she was unwilling to leave any thoughts for him.

Lin Qingqian put down the watering can. “Let’s go in. The sun is very scorching. ”

Han Liubai followed beside her and carefully put away his sadness. He said as usual, “How’s your preparation for the competition?”

“I’ll start preparing in the next two days. I should be able to make it in time,” Lin Qingqian replied.

Although she was sad, her life had to continue…

Now, not only did she have to take responsibility for herself and the child in her stomach, but she also had to be responsible for her colleagues in the company and not let down those netizens who believed and supported her.

Suisui slept until the evening. She only woke up when Lu Qinshang came to pick her up.

Lin Qingqian wanted to keep them for dinner, but Lu Qinshang rejected her politely. He had specially come to bring Suisui to his future in-laws’ house for dinner.

Lin Qingqian couldn’t ask them to stay anymore and sent them to the door.

Lu Qinshang hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, “At this point, let bygones be bygones. One has to look forward…”

Although comforting words were not very useful to her now, she was more or less relieved to hear them from Lu Qinshang.

“I understand. Be careful on the way. Take good care of Suisui.”

Lu Qinshang nodded. As he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, he looked at her and sighed silently in his heart. He used to think that she was not worthy of Ah Yan. He always felt that Ah Yan had suffered a huge loss marrying her. Who would have thought that it was Jiang Yanshen who was not worthy of her now… Marrying Jiang Yanshen was a downgrade for her!

Han Liubai returned to the company in the afternoon. Now that Suisui and the others had left, only she and the auntie were left in Begonia Courtyard.

The huge villa looked deserted everywhere.

Lin Qingqian went upstairs to her study and began to prepare the designs.

For three to four days in a row, other than eating and sleeping, she spent her time in the study drawing designs. In order not to let anyone disturb her, her cell phone was turned off.

After modifying the design plan, she went to the company and chose the cloth. It took her another week to finally complete the two designs for the competition.

She brought Su Ying and Han Liubai to Milan to participate in the final two matches.

The final round of the competition was a global live-stream that attracted a lot of attention. Almost every participating designers’ country sent media reporters and partners to cheer them on.

Li Wenwen and Luo Tianxue were both busy and could not come over. On the other hand, Ren Guangxi was going to record a music video and happened to be in Milan, so he came over to cheer her on.

To express her gratitude, Lin Qingqian treated him to a meal before the competition.

During the meal, Ren Guangxi couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Sister Qingqian, you didn’t invite any models this time?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “Yes.”

“If there are no models, how can you present your works on the runway?” Ren Guangxi said worriedly. “It’ll be very difficult to move the judges.”

No matter how beautiful the clothes were, they had to be worn to present a visual impact. If there were no models, they would be like clothes on the mannequins in the retail stores’ windows. No matter how beautiful the clothes were, they would lose some of their liveliness.

“I know what I’m doing.” Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Did your MV go smoothly?”

Ren Guangxi nodded. “It went smoothly. The album will be released in the first half of the year. Brother Lu said that he will hold a concert for me in the second half of the year.”

Lin Qingqian was happy for him. “Congratulations, you’ve finally done it.” “I have to thank you for this. If you weren’t willing to give me a chance back tnen, I wouldn’t even Know wnere I am now, let alone nold a concert.” It was very difficult for Ren Guangxi to say another word in front of others, but in front of Lin Qingqian, he seemed to have endless things to say.

Because his heart was filled with gratitude for her. It was she who had changed his life… He could have the light and applause he had now, thanks to her.

Lin Qingqian chuckled. “Are you planning to thank me every time you see me in the future?”

Ren Guangxi’s cold eyes were filled with embarrassment. His lips curled into a faint smile, as simple and pure as a boy next door.

Lin Qingqian looked at his smile and couldn’t help but think about how good it would be if Ah Yan was also an ordinary boy next door.

At the hotel.

Su Ying had just posted the preview of tomorrow’s competition on her official Weibo account and was about to switch back to her alternate account when the doorbell suddenly rang…

She put down her phone and walked to the door. As she opened the door, she asked, “Who is it?”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ming Xiao standing at the door in a purple dress. She was stunned and secretly gulped. She subconsciously wanted to close the door.

Ming Xiao reacted quickly and held the door with one hand. Her exquisite facial features were filled with a malicious smile. “Miss Su, let’s talk when we’re free.”

“I have nothing to talk to you about.” Su Ying lowered her head, not daring to look into her eyes. She wanted to close the door forcefully. Ming Xiao’s eyes turned cold as her high heels kicked Su Ying’s knee.

Su Ying bent down in pain and rubbed her knee. Ming Xiao took the opportunity to walk in.

“I don’t like to be rejected, so you’d better not provoke me,” she said as she walked to the sofa and sat down.

Su Ying looked up at her, her almond-shaped eyes filled with embarrassment and helplessness. “You, what exactly do you want?”

“I have a small favor that I hope you can help me with.” Ming Xiao tilted his head and revealed a smile that she thought was harmless.

Su Ying was timid, but she was not stupid. After working by Lin Qingqian’s side for so long, she was naturally smarter than before.

“You want to harm Sister Qingqian? I won’t help you…”

Ming Xiao was not surprised at all that she would say that. She took out her phone from her bag and opened a video for her to see.

Su Ying’s face turned pale. “Mother…’

She went forward to snatch the cell phone away, but Ming Xiao immediately put it away and said with a smile, “Do you want to help me now?”

Su Ying was so anxious that her eyes turned red. “Don’t hurt my mother. What exactly do you want me to do?”

Ming Xiao revealed a satisfied smile and said unhurriedly, “What I want you to do is very simple.. Tomorrow…”
