Chapter 216 Welcoming a New Life
Although Qiao Qin's voice was soft, it was full of determination.
When Huo Yan heard Qiao Qin's answer, his heart was filled with joy. He hugged Qiao Qin even tighter with his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into one with himself, never to be separated.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes burning with fiery emotions, staring at Qiao Qin's blushing cheeks.
Qiao Qin felt Huo Yan's strong emotions and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily. She lowered her eyes shyly, not daring to look directly into Huo Yan's affectionate gaze.
Huo Yan gently lifted Qiao Qin's chin so that her eyes met his again. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stood still, and only the love in each other's eyes was flowing.
Huo Yan slowly approached Qiao Qin, his breathing becoming a little rapid. Qiao Qin closed her eyes slightly, waiting nervously and expectantly.
When his lips lightly touched hers, an electric feeling instantly spread through their bodies.
Huo Yan kissed Qiao Qin tenderly, his lips were soft and warm, full of endless love. His tongue gently pried open Qiao Qin's lips and entwined with her tongue, sharing that deep emotion with each other.
The kiss lasted for a long, long time, as if they wanted to pour all their love into this kiss.
Huo Yan's hand gently stroked Qiao Qin's hair, sliding down her cheek to her neck, and then to her shoulder. Every movement he made was full of tenderness and pity, as if Qiao Qin was the most precious treasure in his world.
Qiao Qin also responded to Huo Yan's kiss. She hugged his waist tightly with her hands, feeling his strength and warmth.
No sleep for one night.
......
As the days passed, Huo Siqian would occasionally think of his friends who had gone on adventures with him in parent-child variety shows after returning home.
The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Huo Siqian rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed. His eyes fell on the small box on the bedside, which contained the souvenirs he had won from the variety show.
Huo Siqian gently picked up the box and opened it, and the small objects inside appeared in front of him one by one, including the colored marbles given to him by Lawrence Lu, a picture drawn for him by Lin Xiaoxuan, and a small compass they found together in the tower.
Looking at these souvenirs, Huo Siqian showed a warm smile on his face. He recalled the happy times he spent with his friends. They explored the mysterious tower together and faced various difficulties and challenges together. Those days seemed to have happened just yesterday and were still vivid in his mind.
Huo Siqian sighed softly, his eyes full of longing.
“I wonder what Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan are doing now?” Huo Siqian said to himself. He decided to call them and share his recent life.
Huo Siqian picked up the phone and dialed Lu Mingxuan's number skillfully. Lu Mingxuan's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello."
"Uncle Lu, I'm Siqian!" Huo Siqian said excitedly.
"Si Qian, long time no see, how have you been lately?" There was a hint of surprise in Lu Mingxuan's voice.
"I'm fine, Uncle Lu. I made new friends in kindergarten! We play games and draw together, it's so much fun." Huo Siqian couldn't wait to share his happiness.
"That's great, Siqian is getting better and better. Yuxuan also often mentions you, and he misses you too." Lu Mingxuan said with a smile.
"I miss Yuxuan and Xiaoxuan too. Uncle Lu, can you let Yuxuan answer the phone?" Huo Siqian asked expectantly.
"Okay, wait a moment." Lu Mingxuan handed the phone to Lu Yuxuan.
“Si Qian!” Lawrence Lu’s voice was full of joy.
"Yuxuan, I miss you so much! I told you, I had so much fun in kindergarten..." Huo Siqian talked endlessly about his interesting experiences in kindergarten, and Lu Yuxuan listened carefully, responding from time to time. Their laughter conveyed their thoughts and concerns for each other through the phone.
After calling Lawrence Lu, Huo Siqian dialed Lin Yue’s number again.
"Hello, is this Siqian?" Lin Yue's gentle voice came.
"Auntie Lin, it's me. I miss Xiaoxuan. What is she doing?" Huo Siqian asked.
"Xiaoxuan misses you too. She is drawing. Siqian, how have you been recently?" Lin Yue said with a smile.
"I'm fine, Aunt Lin, I made new friends in kindergarten and we did a lot of fun things together." Huo Siqian said happily.
"That's great, Siqian, you must meet again when you have time." Lin Yue said.
"Okay, I'm also looking forward to seeing Xiaoxuan again." Huo Siqian's face was filled with a happy smile.
On the other hand, Qiao Qin's studio's business became extremely hot after the promotion of the parent-child variety show.
In the early morning, when the sun just sprinkled on the city streets, Qiao Qin had already arrived at the studio. She was wearing a simple business suit, with her hair neatly tied behind her head, looking capable and elegant, with a confident smile on her face, and her eyes full of enthusiasm and expectation for work.
When the employees saw Qiao Qin, they stopped their work and greeted her.
"Mr. Qiao, good morning!"
"Mr. Qiao, we have a lot of customer orders to process today."
Qiao Qin responded to everyone with a smile as warm as the spring sunshine. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's work together to get the job done."
After saying that, Qiao Qin quickly got down to work. She sat at her desk, with documents and design drawings piled in front of her like a small mountain.
Qiao Qin's eyes were focused and serious. She looked at every document carefully, not missing any details. Her fingers gently flipped the papers, making a rustling sound. Sometimes she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, as if thinking about how to solve the problems in the design plan. Sometimes she picked up a pen and carefully modified a few strokes on the drawing. Her focused expression seemed as if she was carving a work of art.
Qiao Qin suddenly picked up the phone and said to employee Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang, your design needs to be optimized. The customer's requirements are quite high, and we need to achieve perfection."
"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I'll revise it right away." Xiao Wang on the other end of the phone quickly agreed and quickly got down to work.
Then, Qiao Qin called another employee, Xiao Li, in and asked, "Xiao Li, are you ready for today's client meeting? We need to make sure that every step goes well."
There was a hint of seriousness and earnestness in her eyes, and Xiao Li quickly replied: "Mr. Qiao, everything is ready. I have sorted out all the information and we can have the meeting at any time."
Qiao Qin nodded with satisfaction and continued to work. Her cell phone kept ringing with calls and messages from clients.
Qiao Qin was busy answering calls and replying to messages. Her fingers were sliding quickly across the screen of her phone, and her eyes were focused and busy.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and before they knew it, it was noon. The employees went to eat one after another, but Qiao Qin was still busy at her desk, completely forgetting the time and that she had not had breakfast yet.
Her mind was completely immersed in her work, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
"Mr. Qiao, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat together." At this time, Jia Lulu walked into the office and saw Qiao Qin still working, and said with concern.
There was a hint of worry on Jia Lulu's face. She knew Qiao Qin worked very hard, but she was also worried about her health.
Without even looking up, Qiao Qin said, "You guys go eat first. I still have some work to do. I'll go later."
There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, but there was also an unquestionable meaning. It is said that two people who stay together for a long time will become more and more alike, and she now also has the shadow of Huo Yan.
Jia Lulu shook her head helplessly and had to go eat by herself.
Qiao Qin continued to work, her eyes focused and serious, as if the whole world was only her and the work in front of her. It was not until the afternoon that she finally completed an important work task, stretched herself, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
at this time.
"Mr. Qiao, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself." Jia Lulu walked into the office with a cup of coffee.
Qiao Qin took the coffee, smiled and thanked the person in front of her, then took a sip. The aroma of the coffee spread in her mouth, making her feel better.
However, due to not having breakfast in the morning and being busy all day, Qiao Qin's body gradually became exhausted. She felt her head becoming heavy and her vision gradually blurred.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and everything in front of me started to become blurry.
Qiao Qin tried hard to steady herself, but her body shook involuntarily.
"Mr. Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Jia Lulu was shocked when she saw Qiao Qin's pale and shaky face. She quickly ran over and held Qiao Qin.
Qiao Qin leaned weakly on Jia Lulu and said faintly, "I'm fine. I might be too tired."
Jia Lulu frowned and said decisively: "No, you have to go to the hospital."
She immediately called a few employees, and they carefully supported Qiao Qin and hurried to the hospital.
In the hospital, Jia Lulu was waiting outside anxiously, her face full of worry. She kept walking back and forth in the corridor, her hands clenched tightly together, praying in her heart that Qiao Qin would not have any serious problems.
Time seemed to be particularly long, and every minute seemed like a century.
Finally, the doctor came out. Jia Lulu hurried over and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is Mr. Qiao?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with her. But I have good news for you. She's already two weeks pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Jia Lulu opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of surprise, and a joyful smile instantly appeared on her face.
"Great, I'll tell Sister Qiao right away."
Jia Lulu couldn't wait to walk into the ward. Seeing that Qiao Qin had woken up, she walked to her side, gently held her hand, and said excitedly, "Sister Qiao, the doctor said you are two weeks pregnant."
When Qiao Qin heard the news that she was pregnant, her eyes were full of surprise, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.
After a moment, a happy smile appeared on her face, like the most beautiful flower in spring, warm and moving.
"Really? I'm pregnant."
There was a hint of surprise and joy in Qiao Qin's voice, and her eyes were full of tenderness, like a bay of clear lake water. Her hand unconsciously rested lightly on her belly, and countless thoughts surged in her heart.
She thought of Huo Siqian, that lovely child who had always longed for a companion. Now, he wouldn't be so lonely anymore. She seemed to see the scene of the two children playing and growing up together in the future, and her heart was full of anticipation.
Qiao Qin felt that this little life was the most precious gift given by God. A strong sense of responsibility and love surged in her heart. She must protect this little life and give her a warm home.
Jia Lulu looked at Qiao Qin with concern in her eyes. She frowned slightly and said softly but firmly, "Sister Qiao, this is great news, but you must take good care of yourself in the future. You can't work as hard as before. You are pregnant now, and this little life needs your careful care. Think about it, you have to be responsible for your own and your baby's health."
At this moment, Huo Yan also received the news. He was originally discussing an important project with senior executives in the conference room, but when he heard the news that Qiao Qin was pregnant, he immediately put down his work and hurried to the hospital.
His face was full of anxiety, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry. He wished he could fly to Qiao Qin's side immediately to confirm her safety.
Along the way, Huo Yan's heart was beating fast, and all kinds of worried scenes kept appearing in his mind. When he entered the ward, he walked quickly to Qiao Qin and held her hand tightly.
"Qin'er, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Yan's voice trembled slightly, full of concern. His eyes were full of pity and worry. He looked at Qiao Qin's face carefully, afraid to miss any sign of discomfort.
Qiao Qin looked at Huo Yan's nervous expression, and her heart warmed. She smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. The doctor said I'm pregnant."
When Huo Yan heard this, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. His eyes instantly lit up with joy, as if the whole world had become brighter.
"Really? That's great!" His voice was full of excitement and joy, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Qiao Qin's belly. His eyes were full of tenderness and expectation. At that moment, he seemed to see the birth of this little life in the future, and the happy picture of their family.
Huo Yan gently stroked Qiao Qin's belly, his movements as gentle as if he was stroking a rare treasure, his eyes full of love and tenderness, as if he was having a silent communication with the unborn life.
"We're going to have another baby."
Jia Lulu looked at Huo Yan and Qiao Qin with a sincere smile on her face. She raised her chin slightly and said with concern in her eyes: "Boss Huo, you must take good care of Sister Qiao. Don't let her work as hard as she did today. Sister Qiao has always been too strong-willed. She has given so much to the studio. Now that she has a baby, she can't work so hard anymore."
Her tone showed both heartache for Qiao Qin and instructions to Huo Yan.
After hearing what Jia Lulu said, Qiao Qin's face instantly flushed and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Jia Lulu and Huo Yan. She felt touched and a little embarrassed. She had been working too hard during this period and almost neglected her body and the baby in her belly.
Qiao Qin bit her lip gently and secretly decided to pay more attention in the future.
Huo Yan looked at Jia Lulu seriously, nodded solemnly, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Qin'er and our baby. I won't let her work so hard anymore. I will let her have a good rest and take care of the baby with peace of mind."
After saying that, Huo Yan looked at Qiao Qin again, his eyes full of love and promise, his gaze as gentle as water, as if it could melt Qiao Qin's heart, "Qin'er, I will always be with you in the future, and we will welcome the arrival of this little life together."
His voice was deep and magnetic, and every word was filled with deep love.
Qiao Qin leaned on Huo Yan's shoulder, feeling his warmth and strength, her heart filled with happiness and security, as if as long as Huo Yan was by her side, all difficulties could be easily solved.
Qiao Qin hummed softly, then closed her eyes, quietly enjoying the warmth of the moment.
