CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 404 IN THE PLAN...

Living Room

Qiao Yuxian and Ji Xiaoxiao looked at each other.

A silent sob.

A worried face.

She really wanted to help Ji Xiaoxiao, but didn’t quite know how.

"Have you made a decision?" Gu Yanjing walked into the living room suddenly and asked.

Ji Xiaoxiao was startled by the question, looking at Gu Yanjing with fear.

Qiao Yuxian also looked towards Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian exchanged glances, then Gu Yanjing asked Ji Xiaoxiao, "Have you decided to keep the child?"

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, even her breathing became lighter, and her sobbing softened. She looked at Gu Yanjing, then back at Qiao Yuxian.

Seeing that Qiao Yuxian was also waiting for her answer, she said, "Yes."

Gu Yanjing gave Qiao Yuxian a look.

Receiving the look, Qiao Yuxian immediately asked again, "Are you sure? Have you thought it through?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "My...my parents said that if I insist on divorcing Gu Yicheng, they would cut off ties with me. This child... might be my only family now. When I didn’t have it, I didn’t want it at all. But now that I have it... I can’t kill, you know ————"

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing asked again, "Do you still want a divorce?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and nodded, saying softly, "I want to keep the child, but I must divorce."

"Alright." Gu Yanjing replied flatly, "Yicheng will sign the papers soon. The decision about the child is yours."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked up at him.

Qiao Yuxian also looked at him.

Gu Yanjing said, "If you want the child to stay with the Gu Family, they will take good care of him. If not, the Gu Family will only pay child support without interfering. Whether Yicheng has the right to see the child is also up to you."

Qiao Yuxian and Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Yanjing in shock.

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian and said to her, "You two talk, I’ll take Zhaocai for a walk."

Zhaocai pricked its ears at his words, immediately burrowing into a corner, hiding its head to avoid the villain’s malicious walking intentions.

But in the end, it was still dragged out, leashed, and forced to walk.

Qiao Yuxian watched Gu Yanjing’s departing figure, hesitated for a moment, then scratched the side of her face.

Just then, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke again.

"Do you think I’ll get as fat as a pig?!" After saying that, she started crying again.

Qiao Yuxian turned her head to look at her, startled for a moment, then put the tissue box on her leg.

Ji Xiaoxiao cried while wiping her tears, "What am I going to do."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her.

Ji Xiaoxiao saw Qiao Yuxian didn’t catch her meaning and said, "I’m hungry again! I’m hungry again. I’m always hungry, always hungry, eat and hungry, eat and hungry! What should I do?"

Qiao Yuxian finally reacted, "I’m cooking, already cooking. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat everything." Ji Xiaoxiao cried, "I just crave everything recently, uncontrollably crave. That’s why I went to the hospital for a check-up. I registered with the psychiatry department, and after the blood test, the psychiatrist referred me to obstetrics and gynecology. You have no idea what I felt when I was called in the obstetrics and gynecology department."

"So... you argued online?" Qiao Yuxian whispered.

"Yes." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, swallowing, and suddenly said loudly, "I’ve disliked Yixing City’s fans for a while! Before, I was considerate of my drama that hasn’t aired yet. Now I’m pregnant. What am I afraid of! What is there to be afraid of! If I don’t fight back, I’m afraid I’ll get depressed."

Qiao Yuxian nodded along.

Ji Xiaoxiao grabbed two more tissues and said, "What should I do! Is there any possibility for Xi Mei to sign me? How am I so unlucky."

"Didn’t anyone contact you this afternoon?" Qiao Yuxian asked tentatively.

"Who contacted me." Ji Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, looking into the distance, "In the afternoon while I was arguing online, I was called in. After finding out the result, there was a stranger’s number calling me. They kept calling, kept calling. My heart was exhausted, how could I take the call."

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

Ji Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, after a while, she sat up and said, "Actually, thinking about it, it’s not that sad. It’s still kind of amazing. I can nurture a life. Isn’t it amazing? I’ll be giving birth to a life."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her eyes suddenly filled with hope and nodded in agreement, "It is kind of amazing."

"I must become a good mother. I will treat my child well. Not let him be like me." Ji Xiaoxiao said, touching her own belly.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, thinking: Becoming a mother really can change a person.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind.

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly slouched, pouted, and started to cry, "Do you think I’ll become ugly? Will I get spots on my face, stretch marks on my body, will my figure change, my skin dull! What should I do?!!!!"

Qiao Yuxian stared blankly at her sudden emotional change.

"Do you think after I give birth I’ll still look for a job? Will anyone still want me to act?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I’m really hungry. Can I get something to eat first."

Just at this moment, Aunt Mei brought over some snacks, "Miss Ji, have some to fill your stomach first."

Ji Xiaoxiao stopped crying, sniffed, "Thank you, Aunt Mei."

"You’re welcome."

Ji Xiaoxiao picked up the osmanthus cake and started eating ravenously.

Qiao Yuxian saw her eating so unconcernedly for the first time.

"Do you think with my eating, the baby will be big and lead to a difficult birth?" Ji Xiaoxiao snuffled while eating two more times.

"Uh..." Qiao Yuxian couldn’t answer her question.

"If I have a c-section, I can’t wear crop tops." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "My mom had a c-section after labor with me, left a huge scar. Her belly skin is so loose now."

As Ji Xiaoxiao spoke, big tears continuously rolled down.

Qiao Yuxian raised her hand, froze in the air for a moment, finally somewhat awkwardly placed it on her shoulder, gently patted it.

"Can you recover after gaining weight from giving birth?" Ji Xiaoxiao tilted her head to ask her.

"Uh..." Qiao Yuxian thought seriously, "You probably can. I’m... not too sure."

"Why don’t you know anything." Ji Xiaoxiao said disdainfully.

"I...." Qiao Yuxian didn’t know how to refute, she truly didn’t know.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at her, then at her belly. She said, "You’ve been married to Mr. Gu for so long, how come there’s been no movement from you."

"Me? What movement should I have?" Qiao Yuxian said.

"Having a child." Ji Xiaoxiao snuffled, and said, "Isn’t Mr. Gu anxious? I feel like Grandpa Gu is anxious, hasn’t he urged you? Haven’t you planned? Why is there no movement."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to check Qiao Yuxian’s belly.

Qiao Yuxian held her shoulders, pushed her back, "We... we... uh... we are planning."

Maybe planning to live together...

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at her again, "Why are you blushing? You’ve been married so long, still shy talking about this?"

"Who’s blushing." Qiao Yuxian retorted, "I’m sweating from your cries."

"Did I cry?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, "Didn’t you cry?"

"When did I cry." Ji Xiaoxiao said as she wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, finally nodded, "I cried."

"Why are you crying?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

Qiao Yuxian smiled kindly, "Poor choice in friends."

Being acknowledged as a "friend", Ji Xiaoxiao looked at her, turned her head arrogantly and snorted.
