CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 155: QIN XIAO DREAMS OF A PAST LIFE

After Qin’s father finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xiao, "Your elder brother is already handling the aftermath. What are your thoughts on compensating the laboratory’s casualties?"

Qin Xiao said calmly, "Although this explosion was not due to our inadequate management of the laboratory but was caused by human actions.

However, the explosion did happen at our lab, and Gou Feng targeted me, those people are ultimately innocent.

Let’s compensate these people according to accident compensation standards!

But the compensation is purely humanitarian, and this should be made clear, so that others don’t think we are compensating out of guilt.

Once the police announce the case details, we will hold a press conference. My brother and I will address the compensation issue openly."

Qin’s father nodded, "That sounds good.

After this matter is settled, let’s hold a small banquet at Heshun Villa. Many families have stepped up to defend you this time, we should also express our gratitude."

Qin Xiao nodded. After chatting a bit more, Qin’s father and the others left. Once everyone was gone, Qin Xiao played around with Mianmian. After Mianmian was tired and fell asleep, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li finally returned to the room.

In the silent room, the two lay in bed embracing each other. They were both awake, but neither spoke.

Xiao Li lay on Qin Xiao’s chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat. Only this could make her feel at ease.

Qin Xiao held Xiao Li, thinking about the dream he had when he was blown unconscious. In the dream, Xiao Li had suffered terribly, and every time he thought about it, his heart ached a little more.

When he was cooperating with the police investigation, it wasn’t every moment that someone came to ask him questions. When he was alone, he would always think about that dream.

When he woke up from the coma, his first reaction was to find Xiao Li. The panic at that moment was so intense that he still couldn’t forget that dream...

Thinking about that dream, Qin Xiao tightened his arms around Xiao Li. Feeling this, Xiao Li quickly tried to get up, "Uncle, am I pressing on your wounds?"

Qin Xiao held her tighter, not letting Xiao Li get up, "No, I just thought of something.

Nini, when I was knocked out by the explosion, I had a dream. In the dream, you eloped, and as a result, were tricked by Xiao Yan, disfigured, and crippled..."

Qin Xiao stopped upon feeling Xiao Li’s entire body stiffen in his arms, gently calling out, "Nini..."

Xiao Li was suddenly stunned upon hearing Qin Xiao mention past life scenarios, how could it be?

How could Uncle dream of things from a past life?

"Nini, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Li regained her senses, "Oh...nothing, just listening to you. And then? What else did you dream about?"

Xiao Li listened nervously as Qin Xiao described the dream, even though she was puzzled by her reaction, he continued to speak...

"Later, dad passed away, you were deceived by Xiao Zhengfang’s family into stealing dad’s company and all the family assets, then kicked out of the Xiao Family.

I took you home, but at that time, you didn’t know I had long fallen in love with you. You were very defensive against me, blaming me for your disfigurement and disability, harboring intense hatred for me...

Until the very end, when I retrieved everything from the Xiao Family and dealt with Xiao Zhengfang’s family.

I thought this would make you a little happier, but to my surprise, the day after I told you the news, you set the place on fire. When I rushed home, I saw you sitting calmly in the fire through the flames.

Seeing you like that, I knew you truly had no attachment to this world, so I didn’t save you. Instead, I chose to perish with you in the flames."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li knew Qin Xiao really dreamt of their past life. Her face turned pale, and her stomach started to ache...

Xiao Li gasped softly, and Qin Xiao asked quickly, "Nini, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Li gasped, "Uncle, my stomach hurts..."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao quickly sat up and turned on the light. As soon as he turned on the light, he saw the paleness on Xiao Li’s face, and immediately carried her downstairs, "Nini, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital right now..."

Xiao Li tightly gripped Qin Xiao’s hand, "Uncle, put me down, I can walk myself, don’t carry me. The stitches might open..."

Qin Xiao wouldn’t listen to Xiao Li and ran downstairs carrying her. Once out of the villa, he placed Xiao Li in the car and drove her to the hospital as quickly as possible...

Xiao Li’s forehead already had sweat from pain...no, it should be from fright.

She was first terrified by Qin Xiao dreaming of the past life, and now frightened by the stomach pain, worried about the baby.

The last time she had Mianmian, she had an accident at eight months pregnant and had to undergo a cesarean section. This time she wanted everything to go smoothly, but first, there was a pandemic, then an explosion, and now the past life...

The baby is only a little over seven months now!

Nothing can go wrong, absolutely nothing can go wrong...

Qin Xiao checked on Xiao Li while driving, seeing her biting her lip, he quickly asked, "Nini, does it hurt a lot?"

Xiao Li shook her head, "No, Uncle, I’m scared...will the baby be alright?"

Qin Xiao reached out and held Xiao Li’s cold hand, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, the baby will be fine."

Xiao Li held Qin Xiao’s hand back. The warmth of his palm gradually calmed her unsettled heart.

The car sped towards the Qin Family’s private hospital. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Li was taken to the examination room. Fortunately, after the examination, it was just slight symptoms of preterm labor, just staying in the hospital for observation until the symptoms subsided would ensure everything was fine.

In the high-end hospital room, Qin Xiao carefully adjusted Xiao Li’s bed height, making her lie more comfortably.

On the bed, Xiao Li’s complexion was still not too good, with an IV in her hand.

Qin Xiao adjusted the bed, sat by the bed, holding the hand that didn’t have the IV, "Nini, it’s fine now, don’t worry, okay..."

Xiao Li nodded, "Mm, Uncle, I’ve scared you again!"

Qin Xiao laughed, "Are you seeking revenge on me? Paying me back for scaring you before, making you worry for two days, so now you’re scaring me back."

Qin Xiao thought that Xiao Li’s stomach pain was due to her being overly worried about him previously being in an accident, completely unaware that Xiao Li was actually scared by his mention of the past life dream.

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that when Qin Xiao had his accident, Xiao Li was actually a bit uncomfortable.

Back then, she continuously strengthened her mental resilience, telling herself nothing could happen, even when feeling some discomfort, she pushed through with willpower.

When she heard Qin Xiao mention the dream, she was truly unprepared, and was immediately frightened into a stupor.

By the time she came to her senses, the discomfort in her stomach had magnified completely.

After hearing Qin Xiao’s words, Xiao Li thought about it and nodded, "Maybe! You scared me so much, the baby got scared too, and came to scare you on my behalf.

You better talk nicely to the baby and tell him to stay in the womb obediently and come out when the time’s right to settle with you."
