How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 356 - 358: Naming_1

Nan Chuyi put down the vegetable basket and entered the neighboring guest room with Li Qiao, "What’s up? Why all the secrecy?"

Li Qiao revealed her suspicion that she was pregnant.

Nan Chuyi took her pulse seriously, and after a long while, she smiled, "Your intuition was correct, you are indeed pregnant. According to what you’ve said, the due date should be around July 20th next year. But usually, babies are born a few days early, and it’s going to be right in the heat of summer."

Li Qiao’s body stiffened. She really was pregnant?

She had become pregnant just like that, without taking precautions only once.

While feeling somewhat scared, a trace of inexplicable joy was also blossoming within her heart.

"Should I take some pregnancy-stabilizing medicine?" she managed to ask.

Nan Chuyi bent over laughing, "You’re in good health; what do you need pregnancy-stabilizing medicine for?" After she had her fill of laughter, she reminded Li Qiao not to have intercourse with a man for the first three months.

Li Qiao blushed. That was quite direct.

"You sit tight, I’ll step out for a bit." Nan Chuyi left the room.

Unable to stay seated, Li Qiao followed right out. In the living room, the TV was off, and Jiang Wanqiu and Xue Sufen were nowhere to be seen, leaving only Old Mr. Xue reading the newspaper.

Li Qiao politely asked, "Sir Xue, where is Madam Xue?"

"She just went out with Sufen; a neighbor came looking for her," Old Mr. Xue beckoned her closer. "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Li Qiao approached and sat beside Old Mr. Xue.

Old Mr. Xue whispered, "I found a letter in your brother Xue’s room, it’s from Yu Xiu, you know her, right? Sufen mentioned before that one of your seniors was called Yu Xiu, who had an affair with a man in her hometown, earning her a terrible reputation, and that she hooked up with your brother Xue. Are they in a relationship?"

Li Qiao: "...." How would Xue Sufen know about Yu Xiu having a boyfriend? Yu Xiu wouldn’t say, and Li Qiao wasn’t the type to gossip. It couldn’t have been Qin Jin, right? But he and Xue Sufen were at odds; even if he did gossip, it wouldn’t be with her. "I know her, but she definitely didn’t hook up with brother Xue. As for whether they’re in a relationship, I’m not sure."

Old Mr. Xue said, "That’s not important."

Li Qiao: "...." So what is it you wanted to say, Sir Xue?

Old Mr. Xue asked, "What kind of person is that girl? Did she really have a past with a man? Who’s in her family?"

Lik Qiao reported truthfully, "Personally, I think she’s quite good, intelligent, and hardworking. She’s a teacher at a middle school in our hometown’s countryside. My brother Xue told me they both graduated from the same university. Her parents are about the same age as my Mr. Xue and his wife, and I’ve met them once or twice—they seem kindly. She has grandparents who are still alive and an older brother who’s married, working at the street office. She really did have a boyfriend, but they corresponded by letter and met only a few times..." She recounted the story in detail.

Old Mr. Xue commented, "That man’s family is really shameless. There’s no need to smear a girl’s reputation just because they couldn’t get her. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

How is she supposed to face others after that?

After thinking it over, Li Qiao added, "That man also dated me once. We broke up because his parents disapproved of our marriage after I failed to get into university the first time. After I married Jin and got into university, his mother went around claiming he ’slept with the Top Scholar, and Jin even came to confront him because of it. Ah, my reputation back home is even worse than the senior’s."

Old Mr. Xue sympathized with Li Qiao and fumed, "If he were working in Beijing, I wouldn’t let him off without giving him a piece of my mind."

Li Qiao said, "He is indeed working in Beijing, but I have no idea which department. When Yu Xiu came over, we bumped into him shopping. He already had another girlfriend by his side."

Old Mr. Xue said, "....This guy, messing around with both of you and still not stopping! Outrageous."

Li Qiao was just as angry, "Exactly!"

.......

About an hour later.

Qin Jin came looking for her, "What are you doing here?" He had been searching everywhere for her.

Li Qiao smiled, "I was just about to head home."

Qin Jin bid farewell to Old Mr. Qin and Nan Chu, carrying Li Qiao as they left.

After they stepped out of the family compound, Li Qiao said, "What do you think we should name our child, if we were to have one?"

Qin Jin replied, "It’s too early to talk about children. We’ll decide when the time comes."

Li Qiao insisted, "It’s not too early. I want you to say it now."

Qin Jin: "...." Alright, since she was his wife, he’d listen to her. He racked his brains all the way to the front door of their home, opened it, and saw the withered branches in the yard, reminiscing their beauty in full bloom during summer.

He remembered reading a book with her that described lotus flowers.

In ancient times, lotus flowers were called Zezhi.

Zezhi seemed like a good name.

The meaning of the name signifies that the child is as resilient and beautiful as a lotus flower, able to bloom radiantly even when stuck in the mud.

"Zezhi it is!" Qin Jin announced the meaning.

"Sounds like a boy’s name."

Qin Jin repeated in his mind, "It does a bit." He thought for a bit more, "A fair lady, a gentleman’s good match. Qin Yaotiao, how about that?"

"Not bad." Li Qiao was now sitting in a wheelchair, gesturing for him to come closer, then she told him about the pregnancy.

Qin Jin was instantly petrified, his eyes wide and unblinking.

Pregnant?

He was going to be a father?

He couldn’t believe it!

It took him a long while to come back to his senses, "Are you teasing me?"

"Why would I tease you? It’s been over a month."

"What? You got the cast off half a month ago, and we’ve only been together since then. You’re telling me you’re over a month pregnant?" Qin Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, smashing the table beside her with a punch. Which bastard did this? He was going insane!

Li Qiao was nervous and frightened; that murderous expression was terrifying. "Calm down a bit."

Qin Jin: "...." Calm down when he was about to be a father?

He didn’t hit her, having used up all his restraint, he couldn’t stay calm! "Whose is it, then?!"

"Shameless!" Li Qiao burst into tears.

She was excited to tell him about the pregnancy, yet he doubted her.

That was too much! She stood up from her chair and went into the room, slamming the door shut.

Qin Jin’s eyes reflexively blinked; she was actually angry! "I’m waiting for you to explain, why are you running inside? I’m going to smash the door!"

Li Qiao ignored him.

"I really will!" Qin Jin warned again, and after a long time without a response, he said fiercely, "We’ll see how long you can stay there!" His anger carried him away.

He would ask Hu Zhuyun for information!

No, wait.

Hu Zhuyun was on his side.

Spending every day with her, where would she find another man?

Unless Hu Zhuyun was that other man.

Obviously not!

It still must be his child, although he didn’t understand how the timing made it over a month.

He turned back, peered into the room from the window, and to his shock, she was packing, planning to move back to campus?

If she stayed in the upper bunk, going up and down, what if she fell?

"Qiaoqiao~"

Li Qiao looked towards the sound, saw him at the window, and threw a pillow in his direction.

Qin Jin shamelessly said, "I was wrong, I am uneducated and ignorant, don’t be mad at me."

"Get lost!"

Qin Jin: "...I’ll get lost. Just let me in, and I’ll show you how I get lost."

Li Qiao drew the curtains, cutting off Qin Jin, who said, "I’ll take you out shopping, to the movies, buy you a big gold bracelet."

"Don’t want it."

Qin Jin changed the subject: ".....What about school after you’re pregnant? Can you still work towards your master’s degree? I support your studies, we’ll just keep it more secret, and when the belly gets bigger, you can take a long break and rest at home. It’s over a month now, right? If we calculate, you could give birth in the summer. After the birth, you don’t need to worry about anything; I’ll take care of the child. You just do what you like...."
