Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1760 Pregnancy

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. It had been two months since the couple’s wedding, but Chi Shuyan still vividly remembered how she had puked at the wedding venue two months ago. She thought of how she had puked so badly in front of everyone, and on Qi Zhenbai. Even after it was confirmed that she was pregnant, Chi Shuyan still didn’t dare recall this dark history. Every time she thought about it, she itched to immediately dig a hole and hide in it. If she had known that she would puke so badly at the wedding venue, she would have gotten married earlier or postponed the wedding.

Moreover, the most embarrassing thing was that a certain man had thought that something was wrong with her. He was so scared that he immediately picked her up and was about to run to the hospital. Who knew if it was because of his fright at her reaction back then, but not only did his face turn pale, his legs turned to jelly and he actually fell to his knees on the ground after taking a few steps, scaring everyone present.

Fortunately, Brother Feng, who was on the side, propped him up in time. Otherwise, the couple would really have made a fool of themselves at their wedding.

Plenty of hilarious things happened at weddings, but Chi Shuyan had never heard of the bride and groom falling together at a wedding. That would probably be the talk of the town the next day.

Putting that aside, she didn’t expect Qi Zhenbai to care so much about her. Because of how she had puked, he was so scared that his legs turned to jelly and he almost fell. She hadn’t expected that.

Thinking of this image, Chi Shuyan was amused and moved.

Because she had been sent to the hospital after throwing up – where it was confirmed that she was pregnant – Grandpa Qi, Father Qi and Mother Qi were so scared that the Chinese banquet that evening was reduced to a simple dinner. Everyone had dinner together, and the whole family was both alarmed and overjoyed.

They were overjoyed that she was pregnant, but terrified that she kept throwing up.

Before the couple went upstairs to rest after dinner, Grandpa, Father Qi and Mother Qi were still worried, and Grandpa called Qi Zhenbai over and gave him all sorts of reminders to treat Chi Shuyan well, even down to details like bending down to help her put on her shoes.

In short, ever since Chi Shuyan’s pregnancy was confirmed, Grandpa and the Qi family couldn’t wait to treat her like she was fragile, afraid that Qi Zhenbai, this man, wouldn’t take good care of her.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but feel stressed for the man. However, ever since she was confirmed to be pregnant, he had also gone crazy with joy.

He could still smile dumbly the entire time that Grandpa gave him stern instructions, so Chi Shuyan just let it be.

That night, the man actually suggested that they sleep in separate beds. She had gone along with it, but it wasn’t long before the man snuck into her bed in the middle of the night.

What surprised her the most that day was that this man had transferred the one spirit mine and the countless jade mines that were under his name to hers. If she hadn’t stopped him, this man would have given her all the company shares that were under his name.

It was also because of this that her father was completely at ease with Qi Zhenbai. He felt that it was unlikely that Qi Zhenbai would fall in love with someone else in the future, and the relationship between the father and son-in-law grew better and better. They had spent almost every day together for the past month or two. Her father now treated Qi Zhenbai as his own son. Every time the couple appeared, her father would habitually treat her like she was invisible. Chi Shuyan was simply jealous and helpless.

While Chi Shuyan was watching TV in the living room and thinking about things, a certain man came back from buying a snack and put on house slippers at the door.

Chi Shuyan heard the noise and looked behind her. When she saw the bag in the man’s hand, her eyes lit up and she immediately said happily, “Husband, you’re back!”

Although she said that, Chi Shuyan didn’t do anything else. She remained on the couch to watch TV, waiting for the man to put the snack in front of her.

After the man changed into house slippers, his cold face softened and he immediately went to the kitchen to get two plates. He then picked up the trash can and placed it in front of his wife. When everything was done, she started eating.

The snack her man had bought was braised chicken feet. Who knew why, but ever since Chi Shuyan got pregnant, she had been especially hungry. She especially liked to eat spicy food and liked to gnaw on chicken feet.

It had to be pointed out that she had been very disciplined in the past. She firmly refused to eat snacks after dinner, and the chances of her nibbling on chicken feet were even lower. It was mainly because there was no meat on chicken feet, and they were a pain to eat. No matter how delicious Chef Li’s cooking was, she had never touched them. After that, Chef Li rarely cooked chicken feet.

Who would have thought that once she got pregnant, things changed, and she wanted to eat everything. Sometimes, she would get a certain man to buy the spicy chicken feet she wanted in the middle of the night.

She didn’t expect to suddenly get pregnant, nor was she prepared for it. When she first found out, she had been a little repulsed. After all, she was still in university and hadn’t graduated.

It was impossible for her to drop out of school just to give birth, right?

It wasn’t that she hadn’t been angry with Qi Zhenbai after she got pregnant, but she couldn’t really blame him. This child was the result of the only time they hadn’t used a condom.

Although this man had said before that he wanted her to get pregnant, when she refused, he had still obediently used a condom every time they slept together.

If she had known that the one time they didn’t use a condom would lead to this, she definitely wouldn’t have dared to let her guard down at all. It was too late to regret it now. No matter how much she rejected it, look at how obedient and reverent a certain man was toward her.

Mm, it was indeed reverence.

After she got pregnant, this man didn’t get carried away or become a chauvinist. He still knew to respect her and let her choose whether to keep the child or not.

Although this man had definitely deliberately pretended to be pitiful when he said that, she had still relented in the end.

Of course, there was still a condition. She didn’t plan to drop out of school. After a proper discussion, they agreed that this man would take care of the child in the future.

In the end, she could only comfort herself that it wasn’t bad to get pregnant early.

Now, she did occasionally feel that being pregnant was really good. At least, she had someone to do everything for her. This man even took the initiative to feed her water. Chi Shuyan had nothing to say now.

While Chi Shuyan was deep in thought, a phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan saw the man next to her reach into his pocket, take out his phone, and turn on the speaker. On the other end, Father Qi’s voice hurriedly rang out. “Zhen… Zhenbai, when are you and your wife coming home? Your grandfather misses your great-grandson and the both of you. He brought it up several times today and wants you to bring your wife over. Your mother is also saying the same. Why don’t I go and pick you up? You drive too rashly. What if you hurt my grandchild?”

The more Father Qi thought about it, the more worried he became. His tone was a little unnatural at first when he spoke to his son, but when it came to his grandchild, the more he spoke, the smoother his words flowed.

In fact, the father and son had a pretty average relationship, but ever since Chi Shuyan got pregnant, Father Qi objected to how cold Qi Zhenbai was, and was very concerned about them.

Now, there was even a hint of obsequiousness in Father Qi’s tone whenever he spoke to Qi Zhenbai. Chi Shuyan suspected that Father Chi was afraid that after she gave birth, this man wouldn’t let Father Qi carry the baby, so Father Qi was very worried and didn’t dare offend Qi Zhenbai easily.

But she was also very surprised by how much Father Chi cared about the child in her stomach.

What people said about love skipping generations turned out to be true!

Compared with Father Qi’s worried and fawning tone, her man’s tone could be said to be cold as he directly refused. “No need, I’ll take my wife back myself.”

Father Qi choked and was left speechless.

The atmosphere between the father and son turned awkward again. Chi Shuyan hurriedly took the man’s phone and took the initiative to chat with Father Chi. “Dad, don’t worry. Zhenbai and I will be home for dinner tonight. It’s too troublesome for you to come and pick us up…”

“It’s no trouble! It’s no trouble, daughter-in-law!” Father Chi hurriedly said.

Chi Shuyan also choked: …

What if she couldn’t turn him down?

“Uh, Dad, Zhenbai and I aren’t sure exactly what time we’ll go over. We…”

Before Chi Shuyan could finish speaking, the man next to her took the phone from her hand and said coldly, “We’ll talk about the rest tonight!” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately hung up.

In the past two months, Chi Shuyan had gotten used to seeing this man hang up on Father Qi. She was also helpless and didn’t dare interfere rashly in the cold war between the father and son. She worried a little for Father Qi.

Father Qi was indeed very conflicted after Zhenbai hung up on him. It just so happened that he was in the study. When Mother Qi pushed the door open and entered, Father Qi’s tightly knitted eyebrows didn’t relax. There was anxiety and worry in his eyes. He suddenly asked Mother Qi, “Do you think… Zhenbai will let me carry our grandchild when our daughter-in-law gives birth in the future?”
