Chapter 1336: Encountering an Old Friend
Seventeen was feeling unwell, but since I knew I was pregnant, this discomfort seemed natural. My body, which used to be so energetic, now felt sluggish even when I was sitting. They say early pregnancy is like this; it's normal to feel dizzy all day.
When Qi Yao left that morning, she was still asleep. He left a note on the table telling her not to go out, to remember to make breakfast, and that he would be back once he finished his work at the hospital. He had repeatedly warned her not to go out, and he circled the note with a red pen, reminding her again and again.
It was already late when Shiqi got up. He wandered around the house, glanced at the note left by Qi Yao, then went to the kitchen to make himself a sandwich. After eating, he changed his clothes and went to the supermarket.
At this time, I'm going to the mall and the supermarket. I should start buying things for the kids now, right? After a walk around and buying some food, Qiyaojun will be home by then. What a good arrangement.
After driving out, Shiqi entered the mall and went straight to the third floor, which was a store for maternal and child clothing and baby products.
She had been walking around for quite a while and had basically forgotten what she was doing there. It wasn't until Qi Yao called her that Shiqi answered the phone, still picking up the baby's milk bottle.
"Where?" Qi Yao's voice was deep, and he was undoubtedly angry.
Seventeen was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered her original intention. She quickly put down the things in her hands and walked out. Standing in the bright and transparent counter corridor, she looked at the gorgeous windows around her and sighed. It was over, her husband was angry.
"I'm at Huadu Mall and want to see the baby's things..."
"Stand there and don't move. I'll be there soon." Qi Yao didn't give her a chance to say much and hung up the phone directly.
Seventeen rolled her eyes and entered another counter. She looked at the parent-child outfits, stroking her belly. She wondered if the little one was a boy or a girl. If it was a girl, she could wear mother-daughter outfits with her in a few years.
Seventeen kept looking at it, and the clerk came over and asked, "Miss, how old is your child? We have this style for children from three to six years old."
"Oh……"
Seventeen looked at the little clothes, which were pink and tender. The little skirt was matched with leggings and a sweater on top. The set was really beautiful. She looked at the price and it was not too expensive. It would be nice to buy a set as a backup.
"About three years old..." Seventeen said with a smile.
She also knew that when her baby was three years old, there would be better-looking clothes, but she just couldn't help buying them now.
The clothes were packed and Qi Yao called. Shi Qi carried the clothes downstairs. When he reached the first floor, Qi Yao just parked his car and came in. Shi Qi hurried over and showed him with a smile, "Look, I bought parent-child outfits. How about it? Do they look good?"
Qi Yao's face darkened, his anger was blocked by her smiling face, he wanted to scold her but couldn't. How could he keep a cold face when she greeted him with such a big smile?
"What kind of clothes should you wear at this age?" Qi Yao took a long time to utter a word, and then he swallowed the anger in his heart, and his expression looked a little better.
"Three years old." Seventeen said with a smile.
Qi Yao nodded silently, okay, three years old, that’s just a few years later.
Qi Yao reached out to take it, and they went into the supermarket together. They put the things at the service counter. Qi Yao hesitated for a while before finally speaking.
"Didn't you see the note on the table?" Qi Yao asked.
"Hmm? What note?" Seventeen asked with a smile. Qi Yao gave her a cold look. "Pretend, continue pretending." Seventeen looked at Qi Yao's face and immediately said, "I'm really too suffocated at home. I feel less uncomfortable when I go out for a walk. Can't you understand me?"
"Well, wait for me when you go out in the future. From the moment you step out of the door to the time you return home, you don't know what you will encounter, understand?" Qi Yao said in a deep voice.
Seventeen nodded repeatedly and pushed the cart forward. She felt that Qi Yaojun was becoming more and more like her father. He didn't follow her plan at all. She kept saying that her biological father was like this.
"What are we having for lunch?" Seventeen turned around and asked Qi Yao.
Qi Yao had no choice but to follow him with big strides, "Walk slowly, I'll push the cart."
Seventeen let go and stood looking at him, but when he looked past him and saw the person behind him, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Qi Yao held the cart and turned to look in the direction she was looking. Then he turned around calmly, put his arm around Shiqi's shoulders and walked forward. "Let's go buy some seafood over there."
Seventeen lowered his eyes and watched the people behind him walk slowly. A child of four or five years old bumped into him from the side. Seventeen immediately moved aside and looked at the girl.
The girl, seventeen, knew about the child her ex-husband had in France. Perhaps seeing the child reminded her of her dreamlike marriage.
The prouder a person is, the less willing he is to accept a deceived past.
"Qiqi," Qi Yao called softly, then brought her to his side. Seventeen looked up at him, and Qi Yao whispered, "Be careful."
Seventeen didn't say anything. Qi Yao switched places with her, and Seventeen walked on the side.
Mrs. Zhou came up pushing the cart and turned to look at Seventeen. The mother-in-law never liked her daughter-in-law very much, especially Seventeen, who was no different from a betrayer of her own son in her eyes. So Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with cold sting.
Seventeen raised her eyes and tried to smile, "Mom, we're here to buy groceries. Why isn't Auntie here with us?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at her coldly, snorted after a long time, and pushed the cart forward.
"Saria, walk slower, Saria..."
Mrs. Zhou's voice faded away. Seventeen followed behind, rolling her eyes. Qi Yao patted her shoulder.
"If you still care about what the Zhou family thinks, it means you haven't let it go. Qiqi, what's done is done. Don't take it to heart, okay?" Qi Yao said in a low voice.
Seventeen rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Did I take it to heart?"
She was fine, but she just felt sorry for the old man. After all, Zhou Haoyu was the only son in the Zhou family. Look at her mother, Zhuang Shiyuan wasn't dead yet, and her mother had no idea how many times she'd been heartbroken because of Zhuang Shiyuan's affairs. They were all mothers...
Alas, all she had left for Mrs. Zhou now was sympathy, sympathy simply for her identity as a mother.
"That's good." Qi Yao pushed Seventeen away.
Mrs. Zhou brought her granddaughter into the supermarket. The child, who was only four or five years old, was in her happy prime and ran around the supermarket. Mrs. Zhou followed them, leaving behind the shopping cart and chasing after her granddaughter, sweating profusely.
It's actually quite hard for those who take care of grandchildren. Several children have gone missing in the mall over the past two years, so the mall reminds adults with children every half hour to keep an eye on them. What do little kids know? They'll just run off if someone gives them a little treat, regardless of whether an adult is around.
