Chapter 324: Chapter 324: I will definitely take care of Ah Li when he gets back!

This answer had been clear to them a long, long time ago, but hearing it again still made them feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Especially because of yesterday’s actions, which equated them with their elder brother, it deeply chilled their hearts.

The three of them did not speak again, they had no words to respond, and they couldn’t bear to part with Qiaoqiao.

The atmosphere in the air quieted down for a long time, Sang Qiao did not urge them, she just quietly waited for them to speak, giving them time to digest.

She was also forcing them to face reality, that they really couldn’t go back.

After a while, Sang Siyang spoke out bitterly, “Fine, if you don’t need me in the future, I won’t bother you again.”

Leaving those words behind, he hugged the gift box and turned to leave, his departing figure desolate, indicating his resigned heart.

“Qiaoqiao, I…” Sang Shen gripped the gift box tighter.

He couldn’t be as carefree as Siyang, he couldn’t let go…

Sang Qiao turned her gaze away, uninterested in the gift, listening to his reluctance.

“If you want to hold someone accountable for yesterday’s incident or want financial compensation, you can message me. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to head back now.”

Sang Shen almost fell apart, “Qiaoqiao, I won’t hold it against you, you know what I want.”

“What you want, I can’t give. The only thing I can give you guys is money.” Sang Qiao glanced at him and then turned on her heel, striding back towards the company.

“Qiaoqiao…” Sang Shen extended his hand as if to grasp something, but ultimately retracted it.

He could do nothing but watch helplessly as Qiaoqiao walked away beside him. Their sibling relationship could never go back to how it was.

Inside the building of Rose Entertainment, Sang Qiao had just returned when she suddenly felt nauseous, covering her mouth to dry heave a couple of times, but nothing came out.

She couldn’t help but frown, reconsidering what she had eaten during the last few days.

After careful thought, she realized her diet had been normal, so what was causing her nausea? A problem with her health?

Just as she decided to watch her condition for a couple of days and visit the hospital if there was no improvement, she became terribly sick during lunch at a restaurant.

Meng Jiahe stopped with her chopstick mid-air, hurriedly stood up, and gently patted Sang Qiao’s back, “Qiaoqiao, are you alright?”

Sang Qiao rested against the wall, suppressing the nausea, “I’m fine.”

“Maybe you should visit the hospital, you threw up quite violently just now.”

“I’ll go after work.”

“Don’t delay, you can’t work properly this afternoon with your condition. Let’s go now!” Meng Jiahe couldn’t bear to watch Sang Qiao suffer any longer.

“Okay,” Sang Qiao thought about it; indeed, work wasn’t as important as her health.

Jiangcheng City Third Hospital

After a series of tests, Sang Qiao sat in the hospital corridor waiting, with Meng Jiahe returning holding a sheet in her hand.

Her face, which had been filled with worries, was now overtaken by excitement.

“Qiaoqiao, you’re pregnant!”

“Huh?” Sang Qiao was stunned, instinctively reaching out to touch her flat belly. She was pregnant?

“Ahhh, I’m going to be a godmother!” Meng Jiahe sat on the nearby chair, turning the report toward Sang Qiao.

Sang Qiao’s eyes landed on the sheet, her heart unable to describe the feelings, was she really pregnant?

“Quick, call Boss Si, and tell him the good news,” Meng Jiahe eagerly spoke.

“Okay,” Sang Qiao clutched her phone, unsure how exactly to articulate her mixed emotions – complex, joyous, perhaps both.

This little one had come so suddenly, sneaking into existence when she least expected.

After dialing Ah Li’s number, she went through a long chain of beeping until finally, a message of no connection came, causing her to frown slightly, uneasy.

Si Chenli, even if extremely busy, would usually send a message in advance, not leaving calls unanswered.

Meng Jiahe noticed this too, seeing the unease on Qiaoqiao’s face, she hastened to comfort,

“It’s okay, maybe Boss Si is busy and hasn’t checked his phone, or it’s on silent. He’ll call back soon, let’s head home.”

“Yes, that makes sense,” Sang Qiao lightly nodded, trying not to overthink.

She then exited the call screen and sent a message on WeChat to Si Chenli.

Qiaoqiao is sleepy: [Remember to call me back when you’re free, I have some good news.]

After sending it, she put away her phone and followed Ah He outside.

“Qiaoqiao, the Boss isn’t at home these days, and you being pregnant, perhaps I should come and take care of you,” Meng Jiahe spoke cautiously.

She wasn’t sure exactly how to take care of a pregnant woman, but it seemed like many things would be inconvenient, overall she needed someone to look after her.

“It’s fine, it’s very recent and I haven’t felt much yet, I can take care of myself and will be careful.”

Sang Qiao touched her belly, still feeling a sense of unreality; was there really a child, hers and Si Chenli’s, inside this flat stomach?

How magical.

“Then, if you need anything at all, make sure to call me right away, don’t hesitate because you think you’re disturbing me, the little one in your belly is important.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“I’ll take you home, don’t go to the office anymore, get some rest.”

“Okay,” Sang Qiao softly acknowledged.

Meng Jiahe quickly hailed a cab using her phone. She got a ride request accepted almost immediately as the driver was nearby.

After boarding the vehicle, Meng Jiahe suddenly remembered something, “Oh, did you tell the Si family yet?”

“Not yet, maybe later,” Sang Qiao lifted her eyelids, not sure how to start.

“Don’t be afraid, boldly tell them! The Si family know this news and will be thrilled, after all Si Jing, he…” Meng Jiahe stopped herself abruptly.

Hitting a sore spot didn’t seem right, Si Jing had already suffered enough.

“Yes, I’ll tell them once I get home,” Sang Qiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

As the vehicle traveled along the road, they soon reached the villa of Sang Qiao and Si Chenli. They hadn’t even walked inside to tell the Si family the news.

The Si family members had already gathered at the entrance.

“Qiaoqiao, I heard today that you went to the hospital for an examination, is that true?” Mrs. Si asked gently, her tone incredibly delicate, not daring to directly ask if she was pregnant, to avoid irritating Qiaoqiao.

“Yes, if there’s anything, just tell us, and we can discuss it together. Ah Li, really, when can’t you work, running off the second day after the wedding, that’s just too much! When he comes back, I’m really going to give him a talking-to!” Old Madam Si was unable to keep calm, she thought the couple had fought, with Ah Li purposely picking the day after their wedding to negotiate a contract.

And Qiaoqiao had gone to the gynecologist to secretly handle a pregnancy.
