Who Made Him an Antagonist

475: Chapter 475 Lin Xiaojin Eats Candied FruitYunhai City, urban village, tube apartment building.

Although Qin Ge had asked many times for Lin Xiaojin to move to Yunding Manor, or to move to the villa he had bought for her, Xu Lan had too deep an attachment to the old house and was reluctant to leave.

Therefore, in most cases, Lin Xiaojin still lived in the old house.

Of course, after renovations, this old, dilapidated, small place was now fully equipped with modern facilities, making life quite comfortable and pleasant.

”Mom!”

Lin Xiaojin, wearing a fresh and pretty little white dress, returned home with a joyous face, came before Xu Lan, and called out crisply.

Xu Lan, who was cooking, looked back and saw her daughter, asking in confusion, ”Xiao Jin, shouldn’t you be at work at this time? Why are you back? Did you skip work!?”

She sighed and said earnestly, ”Xiao Jin, it’s not that Mom wants to scold you, but we women need to be independent and strong. You can’t just skip work at will because Qin Ge is the chairman of the company!”

Lin Xiaojin shook her head, ”Mom, I took leave to go to the hospital!”

Xu Lan’s heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward to check, ”Where do you feel unwell?”

”I don’t feel unwell.” Lin Xiaojin blushed and said crisply, ”Mom, I’m pregnant.”

”This is the report from my check-up this morning!”

As she spoke, Lin Xiaojin shoved the report into Xu Lan’s hands.

Xu Lan did not have a high level of education; she hadn’t even finished middle school, but she knew quite a few characters.

Looking at the two characters for ’early pregnancy’ at the bottom of the report, she asked in confusion, ”Xiao Jin, you’re already twenty-five. Is it still called early pregnancy at this age? When Mom was pregnant with you, I was only twenty, and nobody said I had an early pregnancy.”

Lin Xiaojin shook her head, her pretty face full of joy, ”Mom, this is an academic term; it means the early stage of pregnancy!”

”Oh, oh, oh.” Xu Lan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then immediately shifted her gaze from the report to Lin Xiaojin, ”This is a good thing! Have you told Qin Ge yet?”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaojin lowered her little head in disappointment and shook it, ”Qin Ge hasn’t been in the company lately. He hasn’t come to the company for a long time.”

”I asked friends at Yunding Manor, and Qin Ge hasn’t returned to Yunding Manor either. I don’t know where to find him.”

”I’m worried that if I contact my friends at Yunding Manor and ask them to pass a message to Qin Ge, I might cause him trouble.”

”I don’t want to cause Qin Ge any trouble.”

Looking at her disappointed daughter, Xu Lan felt an indescribable pity in her heart.

Her daughter was as sensible as ever.

So sensible that it made one’s heart ache!

But she had no grounds to offer any comfort.

She had known for a long time that a big shot like Qin Ge, busy with a thousand things every day, could not be by her daughter’s side every moment.

She had also roughly guessed that those women—Jiang Yingxue, Bai Jing, Mu Xinyi, Ning Ke’er, and others—who were all beautiful as flowers, looked like fairies, and often came to visit, probably also had some relationship with Qin Ge.

But she couldn’t help her daughter with anything.

Whether it was Jiang Yingxue, Bai Jing, or Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke’er, the family power behind them could all support them.

But she was just a burden to her daughter!

”Xiao Jin, Qin Ge, he...” Xu Lan stopped mid-sentence.

Lin Xiaojin heard the dissatisfaction in her mother’s words and quickly raised her little head, shaking it vigorously, ”Qin Ge is very good; he treats me especially well. He’s afraid I’ll fall if he holds me in his hands, and afraid I’ll melt if he holds me in his mouth.”

”I just miss Qin Ge especially much at this moment and want to be by his side. It doesn’t mean that I’m dissatisfied with Qin Ge in my heart. There’s nothing like that, Mom, don’t let your imagination run wild.”

She explained urgently, wanting to clear up this misunderstanding.

Xu Lan nodded. She squeezed out a smile and said, ”Since you’re pregnant, your nutrition must keep up. It just so happens we have some free-range eggs at home; I’ll go poach two eggs for you to eat.”

Lin Xiaojin asked curiously, ”Mom, are there still many free-range eggs at home?”

Xu Lan looked back, ”There are still plenty. Why?”

Lin Xiaojin smiled faintly, ”I want to take some free-range eggs to give to someone.”

She had heard from Bai Jing that the fairy-like woman named Dantai Qingyue was also pregnant.

They were both Qin Ge’s children.

They were the older brother or sister of her child.

She wanted to send some free-range eggs to help Dantai Qingyue with her nutrition.

”Okay, I’ll help you pack some in a little while.” Xu Lan nodded without any hesitation.

Just as Xu Lan turned around, preparing to head toward the kitchen.

She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Ge, who was walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of soft-boiled eggs in his hands, and said in great surprise, ”Qin Ge, why are you here!?”

Before Qin Ge could answer, Lin Xiaojin, like a gust of fragrant wind, rushed past Xu Lan and, like a baby swallow returning to its nest, dove straight into Qin Ge’s arms.

She hugged Qin Ge’s waist tightly and pressed her head against his chest.

Feeling this moment of tranquility, her heart felt an indescribable sense of peace.

She didn’t know why.

After learning she was pregnant, she always felt flustered.

Thoughts she wouldn’t have had before kept uncontrollably popping up.

She was afraid, afraid that with a fairy like Dantai Qingyue by Qin Ge’s side, he would treat her with increasing indifference.

She was afraid, afraid that after pregnancy, her figure would go out of shape and she wouldn’t look good anymore, which would cause Qin Ge to like her less and less.

She was afraid of this, afraid of that.

In the final analysis, she was afraid that Qin Ge would leave her.

Afraid that she would lose Qin Ge’s love!

Lin Xiaojin, who had already tasted the sweetness of love, had long known that in this life, she could never leave Qin Ge.

But after pregnancy, this suffocating feeling of being afraid of losing what she had almost made her collapse!

”I’m sorry, I’m late.”

Qin Ge held the bowl in one hand, wrapped his other arm around Lin Xiaojin’s beautiful back, and followed through by petting Lin Xiaojin’s little head in his arms.

Hmm?

Lin Xiaojin shook her head with a muffled sound, ”Don’t say sorry, you haven’t done me wrong, you treat me so well!”

”Then you?”

Lin Xiaojin wrapped her arms tighter around Qin Ge, unable to bear even a moment of separation, and whispered, ”I just missed you, missed you so, so much!”

Qin Ge weighed the bowl of soft-boiled eggs in his hand, ”Then, would you like to taste the soft-boiled eggs I made myself?”

Lin Xiaojin hugged him for a good while before reluctantly letting go, nodding her little head like a chicken pecking at rice, ”I want to eat, I want to, it must be delicious!”

She reached out, wanting to take it.

Qin Ge dodged, saying dotingly, ”I’ll feed you!”

Lin Xiaojin nodded as if no one else was around, ”Okay, okay!”

Remembering something, she turned her head to look at Xu Lan and urged, ”Mom, why don’t you go play mahjong?”

Xu Lan said with a smile in her eyes, ”Mom will go out and make room for you two lovebirds, is that okay?”

This daughter!

She had originally thought her daughter came back to tell her the pregnancy news first because she wanted to share it with her first.

Now it seemed that she probably couldn’t find Qin Ge and had settled for telling her first as a secondary option.

However, as long as her daughter was happy, anything was fine!
