Chapter 1145 Don’t Be Afraid Rebirth to a
Now that she discovered that the young mother right before her was a well-respected military wife, the female doctor treated her especially well.
Tian Dong took on the role of the Zhai family’s chauffeur and was responsible for fetching Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan.
As soon as they reached the house, Miao Jing, who had been waiting for them, dashed out from the house and walked to stand beside Qiao Nan, assisting her into the house. “Nan Nan, are you hungry or thirsty? The auntie has boiled a pot of chicken soup for you. It is very tasty. Do you want to have a bowl of soup later?”
Miao Jing sized up Qiao Nan’s tummy while she spoke to her.
At the thought that she was carrying twins, Miao Jing felt especially emotional.
As she said, Nan Nan’s tummy was way larger than when she had Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua. She was only five months pregnant, yet her tummy seemed as if she was six months pregnant.
Qiao Nan only told her classmates that she was engaged. She did not tell them that she was married.
Therefore, she did not tell anyone that she was pregnant.
Xu Shengnan had passed the position of the vice president officially to Qiao Nan in the first month after school reopened. Even though Qiao Nan was the new vice president, the president was responsible for organizing the activities in the club. He knew that Qiao Nan did not stay in school, so there was no need for Qiao Nan to turn up for club activities that were held in the evening.
Now that it was May, the weather had turned warmer. Even though one needed to wear a jacket in the morning and at night, it was so warm in the afternoon that there was no need to wear a jacket.
Qiao Nan was slim and she chose to wear loose-fitting clothes in school. Therefore, one could not really tell that she was pregnant.
Even if one looked at her from the front, one still could not tell any differences. If one looked at her from the back, she definitely looked like a twenty-year-old pretty young girl.
That was why even though some students noticed something odd about Qiao Nan, they thought that she must have put on some weight. Nobody realized that the junior who had joined the school for less than a year was going to be a mother.
Outsiders might not be able to tell any differences in Qiao Nan, but Miao Jing could tell the changes in Qiao Nan every single day.
Moreover, Miao Jing had given birth to two children.
Initially, when she noticed that Qiao Nan’s tummy was larger than normal, she thought that it must be due to the nutritious food that she had. After she received the phone call from her daughter, she then realized that it was because Qiao Nan was carrying twins.
“How’s the prenatal checkup today? Is it tiring?” Miao Jing assisted Qiao Nan to take a seat, while she asked about Qiao Nan’s condition.
Strangers who came to the Zhai family’s residence might have thought that Qiao Nan was the mother-in-law while Miao Jing was the daughter-in-law.
“Mom, don’t worry. I don’t feel tired. But I do feel thirsty.” Ever since she was pregnant, Qiao Nan was used to be taken care of by her mother-in-law. However, she was especially nice to her today.
Qiao Nan, who was feeling troubled, felt overwhelmed by her concern and attention. But on the other hand, she did not want to hurt her mother-in-law’s feelings. Therefore, she told her that she was thirsty and forced herself to take a few sips of water.
Thereafter, Qiao Nan, who was feeling flustered, asked to leave the living room. “Mom, dinner will be ready in more than an hour. I would like to take a rest in the bedroom.”
“Sure. Let me help you.” Miao Jing would not stop Nan Nan from taking a rest. Her grandchildren must be sleepy. They would be able to develop and grow if they had more rest.
Qiao Nan accepted her help. Ever since her tummy became larger, the Zhai family treated her as if she was brittle and fragile.
Qiao Nan would only be treated like a normal person when she was at school or the Palace Museum.
Qiao Nan lay on the bed, but she did not fall asleep. She was troubled but she could not find someone to talk to. Luckily, Zhai Sheng made a phone call right then.
Before Miao Jing handed the phone to Qiao Nan, she did not forget to remind her son to keep the conversation short. “Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan is pregnant. Electronic devices will emit radiation and it will not be good for Nan Nan and the children. Remember not to speak on the phone for too long. If there’s anything important, wait until you come back to chat with Qiao Nan.”
“I understand,” Zhai Sheng replied. He knew that if he did not promise his mother, she would hog the phone and pass the message for him and Qiao Nan.
After getting Zhai Sheng’s promise, Miao Jing passed the cell phone to Qiao Nan reluctantly. “Nan Nan, don’t tire yourself out. Don’t stay on the phone for too long. He will be back soon. By then, I will make sure that he spends time with you and the children.”
“Yes, Mom.”
Qiao Nan held the cell phone and waited until her mother-in-law left the room before the tears that she had been holding in rolled down her cheeks.
Even though Qiao Nan did not cry out loud, and there were only slight changes in her breathing, Zhai Sheng, who was her husband, could tell that something was amiss. “Are you crying?”
“Yes.” Qiao Nan would not keep any secrets from Zhai Sheng. She would tell him exactly what she felt.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“I can’t do it. I cannot help but be afraid.” Nobody could understand her mixed feelings and dilemma except for Brother Zhai.
Zhai Sheng’s heart ached for Qiao Nan, especially when he heard her sobs on the other end of the phone.
He enjoyed working in the army and he was passionate about serving the country. Being a soldier was Zhai Sheng’s greatest honor.
But Zhai Sheng could not help but feel a twinge of regret at this moment.
As a soldier, he could not stay by his wife’s side like any other man. He knew that Nan Nan was suffering and was in agony, and he could hear her sobs on the other end of the phone, but he could not stay by her side to comfort her or hug her, wiping her tears off her face.
Zhai Sheng was enveloped by a sense of helplessness.
“Brother Zhai?” Qiao Nan could hear Zhai Sheng’s deep sighs on the other end of the phone. She felt bitter inside. “Do you think this is purely groundless worries and I am being too emotional? Mom and Sister Zhai Hua are thrilled. Grandpa and Dad have yet to come back, but they will definitely be overjoyed.”
She might be the only person who felt gloomy after finding out that she was carrying twins.
“Nan Nan, I understand your feelings, but you should trust yourself and trust me. You are different from your mom. Both of you are poles apart. Even if something similar really happens, I will remind you. My parents and the old master will remind you. Zhai Hua will also remind you. There are so many people around you who will help you. Will you refuse to listen to them?”
“No, I will not do that.” Qiao Nan had tears in her eyes as she shook her head. “I will listen to them. I will definitely treat all my children equally. I will make sure that they are the happiest children in this world. I will do it. I will definitely do it!”
“That’s right. You must have more confidence in yourself. Back then, you wanted to have one child because you were worried that you would be biased.”
