Chapter 517 - 518: If anything happens to Lou Xi’s child, don’t blame me for being impolite
As things have escalated to this point, Qin Mobai felt that if he didn’t say something to make the old man shut up, Lou Xi would be wronged even more.
"Grandpa, please stop criticizing Lou Xi. She’s already very remorseful about this," Qin Mobai said in a deep voice. Actually, he didn’t want to reveal this so quickly unless absolutely necessary, "She’s pregnant, and cannot be startled."
With these words from Qin Mobai, the entire side hall fell silent.
Lou Xi is pregnant.
Lou Xi is pregnant!
For some in the Qin Family, this was joyful and congratulatory news, but for others, it was a thunderbolt out of the blue.
If Xi Siwei and Shen Ruozhuo hadn’t learned about this yesterday, today they would definitely be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws!
"You said...what?" Qin Sheng looked at Qin Mobai incredulously.
So Qin Mobai meant that the old man was going to become a great-grandfather? That he could live to see four generations under one roof?
The old man’s face instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, "Lou Xi is pregnant? When did this happen, why didn’t anyone tell us?"
Everyone felt the old man’s attitude change.
Qin Mobai: "..."
Lou Xi: "..."
Maybe none of them had expected a child’s power to be this great!
"I only found out a couple of days ago," Qin Mobai said truthfully, "She just got pregnant, and the first three months are crucial, so I didn’t tell you all. But I felt that if I didn’t say anything today, she might be scared and negatively affected."
As soon as Qin Mobai mentioned the possibility of a negative effect, Qin Sheng immediately got tense.
"Quickly bring Doctor Sun over! If anything happens to my great-grandchild, can you bear that responsibility?" The old man promptly ordered Uncle Yun to call the doctor.
Uncle Yun hesitated for a moment, really just one second, then was yelled at by the old man, "Go quickly."
After saying this, the old man felt his voice might have been too loud and quickly said to Lou Xi, "Why are you still standing? Sit down! What if something happens to the baby? No, no, we must call the older woman out; she’s experienced and knows what to do!"
Everyone: ??
Clearly, they were called back for a criticism assembly, but how did it turn into a care gathering?
Perhaps their way of handling things is just different...
"We won’t sit, we’ll take her back to rest; she’s been yelled at too many times today," Qin Mobai said blandly.
Lou Xi was also drenched in sweat and hurriedly tugged at Qin Mobai’s clothes, signaling to him that enough was enough, since the old man no longer planned to criticize the two of them.
But Qin Mobai remained unmoved.
"Lou Xi has always preferred peace, so in the future, don’t let any troublemakers disturb her," while saying this, Qin Mobai’s gaze lingered on Xi Siwei and Shen Ruozhuo, "If anything happens to her child, don’t blame me for being rude."
"What do you mean by that? With Lou Xi pregnant with a great-grandchild, the entire Qin Family must prioritize her! The little great-grandchild must be born healthy and mother and child safe!"
The last sentence carried a hidden meaning, referring to a matter no one dared to mention — Qin Mobai’s mother.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll take Lou Xi and leave for now." With that, Qin Mobai led Lou Xi outside.
Once outside the main residence, Lou Xi clung to Qin Mobai’s arm, "Why is Grandpa so convinced I’m having a boy? What if it’s a girl?"
"Boy or girl, I don’t mind. I only want you to be safe," Qin Mobai said solemnly as he caressed Lou Xi’s cheek.
