"I don't know either." Tong Qiao pulled a long face and said unhappily, "I've never seen anyone give Chinese medicine as a birthday present. Is this old man sick?"
"Qiao 'er." Tong Wenbin frowned and shouted, "Why are you shooting your mouth off again?"
"It's true. It's my birthday, and he gave me medicine. Isn't that cursing me?" Tong Qiao threw the box on her lap onto the coffee table.
Xia Daiyun looked at Tong Wenbin, who also looked puzzled. He pointed at the box with his chin and asked, "Dai Yun, see if there's anything else in there."
Xia Daiyun bent down to pick up the box and placed it on her lap. She searched for it and found a folded piece of paper. She opened it and looked at Tong Qiao worriedly. "Qiao 'er, it says on this paper that these medicine are for treating menstrual irregularities. Is your period abnormal?"
Tong Qiao was speechless. Could she say that she was pregnant and didn't have her period?
But why did this old man think that her period was irregular?
Tong Qiao suddenly recalled that at Shuxin's engagement party a few days ago, Lu Jinshen asked her why she didn't drink. She almost blurted out that she couldn't drink when she was pregnant, but she stopped herself in time and said that she couldn't drink during special periods.
At that time, he asked her if her period was irregular. He even said that the date was wrong.
Now that she thought about it, when she was at the resort and couldn't soak in the hot springs, he also said that it was a special period.
F * ck, isn't this man too shrewd?
He could even deduce that her period was irregular!
Xia Daiyun saw that Tong Qiao was frowning and didn't say anything. She thought that Tong Qiao was embarrassed to talk about women's matters with Tong Wenbin present. Hence, Xia Daiyun gave Tong Wenbin a look.
Tong Wenbin immediately understood and got up to go upstairs.
Xia Daiyun watched Tong Wenbin disappear at the top of the stairs before asking Tong Qiao, "Qiao 'er, your father is gone. Tell Mommy the truth. Is your period irregular? Or is your blood volume abnormal? "
Tong Qiao was a little speechless.
Xia Daiyun was extremely anxious. "Qiao 'er, say something. What's so hard to say to your mother? Menstrual irregularities can be big or small for a girl. If it's small, it might just be a menstrual disorder that can be cured after some treatment. If it's big, it might cause infertility … "
"Mom," Tong Qiao interrupted Xia Daiyun as she couldn't bear to listen any longer. "I'm normal."
"Then why would the chief give you Chinese medicine for menstrual irregularities?"
Tong Qiao facepalmed. "He misunderstood. My stomach just doesn't feel well."
"Why does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"
"I must have eaten something wrong. I'm fine now."
The worry on Xia Daiyun's face faded. She looked at the Chinese medicine on the table and couldn't help but laugh. "He's so considerate to give you medicine when your stomach is not feeling well. It seems that he really cares about you."
Tong Qiao rolled her eyes in her heart. "Who gives gifts and medicine?"
"I think it's good that he did this. It shows that he's a down-to-earth man. Flowers and whatnot are meaningless. When you reach my age, you'll know how good it is to have a man who cares about you. It seems that your father was right. He's a good man."
Tong Qiao was speechless. She didn't like this kind of man. He was so unmanly that he only cared about girly things.
Lu Jinshen didn't expect that not only did his action not add points to Tong Qiao's score, but it also made her lose points.
She couldn't blame Tong Qiao for coming up with a bad idea. It could only be said that Tong Qiao's way of thinking was different from other girls.
…
On October 1st, 9 am, Lu Jinshen appeared at Tong Qiao's doorstep punctually.
At this moment, Tong Qiao was still sleeping on the bed.
"Qiao 'er, get up quickly. The chief is here." Xia Daiyun came to Tong Qiao's bedside and urged her to get up.
Tong Qiao opened her eyes in a daze. Her eyes were drowsy. "What are you doing here?"
"Why are you still calling him Old Man? No wonder your father said that you don't watch your mouth. You're about to get your marriage certificate. You can't talk nonsense in the future. Do you hear me?" Xia Daiyun said as he pulled Tong Qiao up from the bed.
"Who's going to get their marriage certificate with him?" Tong Qiao stretched lazily.
"You're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau together today …" Xia Daiyun's gaze fell on Tong Qiao's exposed stomach. He stopped talking. "Qiao 'er, your stomach …"
"Huh? What's wrong with my stomach? " Tong Qiao looked down at her stomach sleepily. It was as if she had been hit in the head. She immediately woke up. "That … I …"
"You said that your stomach wasn't feeling well a few days ago. Has it not recovered yet?" Xia Daiyun asked.
Tong Qiao hurriedly went along with the flow. "Yeah."
"You look a little bloated. I think you're having indigestion. Take some digestive pills later. If you're still not feeling well, I'll accompany you to the hospital." Xia Daiyun threw the clothes that Tong Qiao wanted to change into to her without any suspicion on his face.
Tong Qiao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. When Xia Daiyun went out, her entire body drooped. She planned to confess everything to Lu Jinshen today. Soon, her parents would find out about her pregnancy, and she couldn't hide it for long.
However, her mother clearly saw that her stomach was abnormal, but she didn't think much about it. If she knew that she was more than four months pregnant, she would probably be shocked.
After Tong Qiao washed up, she went downstairs and saw Lu Jinshen sitting on the sofa. Tong Wenbin was talking to him, and he looked over when he heard the commotion.
Tong Wenbin's reproachful voice drifted over. "We agreed to meet at nine. Why don't you have any sense of time?"
Tong Qiao shrugged. Thinking about what she had to face today, she wasn't in a good mood. She calmly said, "I overslept." Then, she looked at Lu Jinshen and said without much sincerity, "Sorry for making you wait."
"It's fine." Lu Jinshen smiled politely.
"Qiao 'er, hurry up and come over for breakfast," Xia Daiyun shouted from the dining room.
Tong Qiao stood at the staircase. "Mom, I'm not eating at home. I'm going out to eat."
"Alright, then you guys can go." Xia Daiyun felt that it wasn't good to keep Lu Jinshen waiting.
Lu Jinshen and Tong Qiao went out of the villa together.
Lu Jinshen started the car. "Where are we going for breakfast?"
"Renhe Restaurant."
About 20 minutes later, Lu Jinshen's off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of Renhe Restaurant.
Tong Qiao asked for a private room. After breakfast was served, she asked Lu Jinshen, "Aren't you eating?"
"I've already eaten."
Tong Qiao nodded and lowered her head to eat.
Lu Jinshen sat for a while and felt bored. He leaned his tall body against the seat and took out a cigarette box from his pocket. He put a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and was about to light it when Tong Qiao said, "Can we go out to smoke?"
Lu Jinshen looked up, and his deep gaze landed on Tong Qiao's face. The lighter in his hand lit up and went out. After looking at her for a while, he took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth. However, he didn't put it back into the cigarette box. Instead, he placed it on the dining table and tapped the metal lighter on the dining table. "You want to control me when we haven't registered our marriage?"
