Chapter 556 - 586: You’re Just Pregnant
Shen Yi reacted the fastest, immediately reaching out to steady Qin Jiao. Guduo, who had only wanted to give her a hug, never imagined she would actually knock her over.
Her little lip trembled, and she burst into tears.
"Jiao Jiao, I’m sorry! I only wanted to hug you! I didn’t mean to, wahhh..."
Seeing the pretty little girl crying her eyes out, Qin Jiao wanted to open her mouth and say she’d just been clumsy, but her vision suddenly went black, and she fainted.
"Jiao Jiao!"
Everyone was terrified, especially Shen Yi. His knees went weak, and he nearly collapsed right there.
Qin Zhonghui was the closest and ran over, shouting, "Get her to a hospital, quickly!"
The joyful atmosphere instantly turned to panic. Even as she was passing out, Qin Jiao felt a pang of guilt.
’Why did I just faint out of nowhere?’
’Sigh, Little Gu Duo must have been terrified.’
’And Mom and the others... they must be worried sick.’
Qin Jiao truly couldn’t understand how she could have fainted so suddenly when she was perfectly healthy. Ever since her rebirth, she had been diligent about exercising. She had even learned military-style boxing and Taekwondo from Ji Changxing and the others. And that wasn’t even mentioning the enhancement she got from the Spiritual Spring Water.
’No matter how you look at it, I shouldn’t have just fainted like that.’
’I haven’t been staying up late or overworking myself recently, either.’
Qin Jiao was still puzzling over this when she woke up. The moment Shen Yi, who was sitting by her side, saw her eyes open, he was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Jiao Jiao, you’re okay! Thank God!"
Qin Jiao reached out to touch Shen Yi’s face. ’Yep, still his face from his twenties, not the one he had in his thirties and forties in my past life.’
For a long time, she had feared that these years since her rebirth were all just a dream. She worried she might open her eyes one day and find herself right back at the moment of the car crash with Shen Yi.
The pad of Qin Jiao’s finger brushed against the reddened corner of Shen Yi’s eye. She said in a relaxed tone, "Why are your eyes so red? Have you been crying? I know my own body. I had a check-up just six months ago; there can’t be any major issues."
"Your body is perfectly healthy. Nothing is wrong," Shen Yi said, capturing her hand and pressing a kiss to her knuckles. "You’re just pregnant."
"I... What did you just say?"
Qin Jiao was so shocked she nearly shot up in bed. Fortunately, Shen Yi’s quick reflexes kicked in, and he gently held her down. "It’s still early, only five weeks," he explained. "So you can’t tell yet, but the doctor said all your levels are normal. We’ll start regular check-ups once you’re six weeks along."
Qin Jiao blinked, her hand drifting to her stomach. Then she looked back at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi nodded emphatically.
Leaning back against the pillows, Qin Jiao remembered. They were always so careful, but there had been that one time last month in the space. It had started with Shen Yi painting while Qin Jiao studied, a perfectly harmonious scene.
But somehow, Shen Yi had started sketching her, asking her to strike various poses. When he wasn’t satisfied with her posture, he came over to "personally instruct" her.
And that "instruction" soon led to the two of them tumbling down together...
But on that occasion, because a certain... precautionary item... was not on hand, they had decided to take a chance and deliberately pushed the thought aside.
But who would have thought? You really can’t leave things to chance!
Still, what was done was done, and she might as well embrace it. Besides, in all her two lifetimes, this was the first time she was welcoming a new life, so her emotions were a complex mix.
A little nervous, a little surprised, and very excited.
After a long moment, Qin Jiao finally processed the news. She looked around and asked, "Where is everyone else?"
