Chapter 421: Goodnight, My Little Cutie

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Late at night when Jiang Jingchen was about to close his eyes with the sleeping woman in his arms, he heard a knock on the door.

He was a little annoyed as he sat up.

But Song Zhou wouldn’t knock on the door at this hour if it wasn’t something important.

However, it was not Song Zhou he saw when he opened the door, but Silent Sister.

Silent Sister looked anxious as she pointed downstairs and cried for help.

Jiang Jingchen walked to the top of the stairs and saw Song Zhou help Ruan Qi out. Ruan Qi looked like she was in pain.

“Song Zhou, what’s wrong?”

“My wife had a nightmare. Her stomach hurts badly. I’m taking her to the hospital.”

Song Zhou was frightened too. His face was pale, and his voice was hoarse.

“Wait a moment.”

Jiang Jingchen turned around and called out to Tang Beibei. Tang Beibei was very sleepy and refused to open her eyes.

“Beibei, there’s something wrong with Ruan Qi. It could be the baby.” Tang Beibei’s eyes flew open. She jumped out of bed and ran out barefooted. Jiang Jingchen carried her back and squatted down to help her put on her shoes. Tang Beibei couldn’t wait and let him put on one shoe while she squatted down to put on the other shoe before she ran downstairs.

Ruan Qi’s face was pale as she hunched over clutching her belly.

She held Ruan Qi’s wrist and took her pulse.

Her pulse was a little erratic. Tang Beibei patted Ruan Qi’s back and said, “Take a deep breath. Don’t panic. If you’re too anxious, it’ll make the baby uncomfortable. Qiqi, try to relax for the baby.”

Ruan Qi obediently took a deep breath and felt a little better.

Tang Beibei then said, “Song Zhou, get two set of thick clothes. It’s very cold at night. Pregnant women should avoid catching colds. Hubby, go get the car. We’re going to the hospital.”

The two men hurried to their tasks. Song Zhou took two sets of clothes and carried Ruan Qi into the car.

It was the wee hours, and the roads were clear, which created a different kind of anxiety.

They went to the emergency room when they arrived at the hospital.

The doctor on duty checked Ruan Qi’s condition and told her that her pain was triggered by anxiety.

However, this implied that her pregnancy wasn’t as stable as she had hoped, and she must take better care of it. If the situation occurred again, the baby would be in danger.

Ruan Qi was warded for observation. Song Zhou took care of the admission procedures and got her a bed. The three of them only heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Ruan Qi sleeping soundly after taking her medicine.

This was Ruan Qi’s first baby, but all three of them were also looking forward to the baby’s arrival.

Song Zhou looked at Jiang Jingchen gratefully. “Young Master, I’ll stay here with Ruan Qi. Please take Young Madam home and rest.”

Jiang Jingchen rubbed his eyebrows. It was a little late and he was sleepy.

“Now is not the time, Song Zhou.”

He whispered a few words in Song Zhou’s ear and Song Zhou’s gaze became sharp. He told Tang Beibei to take care of his wife while he went back to the villa to get their toiletries.

After Song Zhou left, Tang Beibei walked to Ruan Qi’s bedside and took her pulse. After confirming that nothing was out of the ordinary, she slumped over Ruan Qi’s bed and looked at Ruan Qi’s belly.

“He’s so young, yet he’s making trouble. He’s going to be such a lively kid.” Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “It’s only been two months. How do you know it’s a boy?”

Tang Beibei said with a smile, “The God of the Night has opened my heavenly eye. I think that this kid will have great achievements in the future.”

Jiang Jingchen sat down beside her and looked at Ruan Qi’s belly too. “Do you like children?”

“I do.”

Tang Beibei smiled, but she was troubled when she thought of something. “But

I feel that I’m not very mature. What if I have a child and can’t raise it well?” Jiang Jingchen poked her head. “If you can’t raise our child well, it’s on me.” Tang Beibei laughed in amusement. “How can that be? The child is yours to begin with.”

Jiang Jingchen then said, “Then when we have children in the future, we’ll raise them together.”

Tang Beibei looked at him with a little anticipation.

“A boy like you would be so good-looking.”

“A girl like you is good too. Smart and cute.”

Jiang Jingchen brushed the messy hair from her cheeks. They had all come to the hospital in a hurry in their pajamas with their hair uncombed.

But her fluffy pajamas made her look even softer and cuter.

“Obedient Beibei…”

“Yes?”

Jiang Jingchen tried to talk to her softly but the woman had already closed her eyes… She was fast asleep slumped over Ruan Qi’s bed.

Tsk, she probably fell asleep in seconds.

He carried her to the sofa and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

“Goodnight, my little cutie.”

The next day, Tang Beibei woke up, saw the familiar room and blinked in confusion.

Was last night just a bad dream?

She quickly got up, washed up, and went downstairs. When she saw Jiang Jingchen on the phone, she lightened her footsteps and knocked on the door of the guest room but no one answered.

“They’re still at the hospital. Obedient Beibei, come and have breakfast.”

Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone and pulled her to the dining table.

Last night, after Song Zhou returned to Ruan Qi’s ward, Jiang Jingchen took Tang Beibei home.

“I didn’t dream it, right? How’s Ruan Qi now?”

“I’ve called Song Zhou. Ruan Qi is still asleep. She must be tired from last night.”

Tang Beibei quickly ate her breakfast, took her schoolbag and said that she wanted to go to the hospital. She had to check on Ruan Qi first, or she would be worried.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ruan Qj was still asleep. Tang Beibei walked over to take her pulse.

Her pulse was quite steady but it wasn’t smooth or strong enough. It was probably due to the fright Ruan Qi had last night.

Song Zhou asked nervously, “Should I wake her up to take her medicine?” Tang Beibei waved her hand. “Sleep is better for her. Besides, pregnant women like to sleep. She needs at least eight hours every night. Ask Silent Sister to make her some red date porridge. Feed her some when she wakes up.” Tang Beibei thought for a while and said, “Qiqi might be a little stressed out because of the agitation she felt before. That’s not good for the baby.” “We’ll need to keep her calm so she can recuperate. Only then will the baby be safe.”

Song Zhou’s scalp went numb. “I understand.”

Tang Beibei sighed. Her tone suddenly became mature as she said, “It’s your first time being parents, so there will be many first experiences. Don’t be too anxious. Medicine has advanced a lot and there are ways to keep her and the baby safe.”

Song Zhou, the to-be father, was also very worried.

“Thank you, Young Madam.”

Tang Beibei laughed. “You don’t have to be so polite. Qiqi is my best friend. I still want to be the child’s godmother when he’s born.”

At that moment, Song Zhou received a call. He turned around and walked to the side.

Hearing the caller’s words, his face turned gloomy.

When he came back and whispered a few words in Jiang Jingchen’s ear, Jiang Jingchen’s handsome face instantly darkened, and his black eyes looked murderous.

“Send me the report.”

“Will do.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled. “What report?”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said, “Obedient Beibei,

I’ll send you to school. It’s not good to be late.”

Tang Beibei got up and left the hospital with him. She was a little worried when she saw his tensed handsome face.

“Hubby, what happened? What report?”

Jiang Jingchen replied coldly, “The test results of the bird’s nest are out.”

“So fast? What’s in it?”

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. “There’s compound licorice in it.”

Tang Beibei pondered. “Compound licorice helps to relieve cough and expel phlegm but it’s also forbidden for pregnant women. Since the bird’s nest was given to me, could someone be using me to hurt Ruan Qi?”

“That’s not all. The compound licorice in the bird’s nest also contains poppy, which is addictive.”

Tang Beibei’s face changed.. Wasn’t that equivalent to taking opium?
