Chapter 33: Marriage Before Dating

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the movie ended, it left Xiao Li panting for more…

Ah… It felt so good to watch a movie.

Xiao Li said, “Uncle, can we come to the movies again in the future?

Now I know why dating couples like to go to the movies. The atmosphere is amazing.

Whatever they do is appropriate…”

Qin Xiao smiled. He too liked the suggestion of watching a movie. “If you like it, we’ll come often…”

Not only did Qin Xiao want to watch a movie, but Xiao Li had also mentioned that dating couples liked to watch movies. This reminded him that he and Xiao Li were married before they even fell in love.

This was not fair to Xiao Li.

No, he had to do everything he was supposed to do in a relationship. How could little princess have less than what other girls had?

It should not be less. She should have more than others.

What others have, my little princess will only have more.

Xiao Li nodded. “Yes, we’ll make time for it in the future. Let’s go home first!”

As they spoke, they took the elevator down to the basement parking lot.

Once they were inside and the doors closed, a limping figure approached the elevator…

The hatred in her eyes as she looked at the elevator was almost tangible.

When she got home, Xiao Li thought that since her sister-in-law was already out of confinement, she should tell Mr. and Mrs. Qin about her pregnancy. She took out her phone and sent Mrs. Qin a WeChat message.

Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Qin returned to the country, Xiao Li and Mrs. Qin had video-called each other more than Qin Xiao and Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin had complained a lot about this matter. She said that she had given birth to two sons and it was a huge loss not to have a daughter.

Boys were quite fun when they were young, but not when they grew up.

They would still talk to their father, but they were not considerate at all with their mother…

Xiao Li started a video call and waited for a while. When she picked up, Xiao Li saw Mrs. Qin holding a child and knew why she was slow to pick up.

Mrs. Qin pointed her phone at Qin Tan’s son, Qin Shi. “Little Stone, take a look. This is your beautiful aunt…”

Xiao Li smiled at that. “Mom, Little Stone still has weak vision. Don’t point your phone at him.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin turned her phone away and called the servant over to take the child away…

After the child was taken away, Mrs. Qin had a good chat with Xiao Li.

“Little Li! Aren’t you at work today? Or are you on the early shift?”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “I’m not at work today. I’ll be transferred to another department for an internship. I’m taking a day off today.”

Mrs. Qin said, “This means you don’t have to be in the emergency room starting tomorrow. That’s good. The emergency room is exhausting.”

Xiao Li nodded. “Yes, I’ll not be working at the emergency department. Actually, I don’t think the emergency department is that tiring. I was not used to it when I first went there, but I was able to adapt and it was tolerable.

Mom, how is Sister-in-law now?”

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, “Your sister-in-law! She’s a workaholic. I told her to stay at home for another month. She said that she was in a hurry and returned to her workshop two days ago.

However, although she went back to the workshop, she didn’t tire herself out too much. She went in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Sometimes she worked from home, sometimes she played with Little Rock when she wasn’t busy…”

Xiao Li nodded. “That’s good. After all, she has just come out of confinement and hasn’t fully recovered yet. It’s better for Sister-in-law to recuperate.”

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, “Your sister-in-law knows what she’s doing. She’s someone who can’t stay idle. If we force her not to return to the workshop, she’ll get sick from boredom…

Speaking of which, you’re also a little workaholic. You should know what your sister-in-law is thinking.”

Xiao Li covered her mouth and laughed. “I’m not as experienced as Sister-in-law.

Mom, I have something to tell you.”

Mother Qin said, “What is it?”

Xiao Li said, “Mom, I’m pregnant.”

As soon as Xiao Li said this, Mrs. Qin, who was leaning leisurely on the sofa, immediately sat up straight and smiled, “What? You’re pregnant? Oh my… Old Qin, come quickly…”

Xiao Li saw Mrs. Qin was in a cheerful mood and shouting for Mr. Qin. She also turned to look at Qin Xiao, who was preparing a fruit salad for her in the kitchen…

From the living room, she could only see Qin Xiao’s back. However, even if Xiao Li could not see his front, she knew that he was definitely making a fruit salad for her earnestly.

Qin Xiao was always especially concerned about her…

Just as Xiao Li was looking at Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao turned around with a fruit salad. He saw Xiao Li looking at him and smiled as he brought the fruit salad over.

When Qin Xiao came over, Mr. Qin had also come over to Mrs. Qin’s side.

Mr. Qin snatched Mrs. Qin’s phone and said to Xiao Li, “Little Li! I heard from your mother that you’re pregnant? How many months?”

Seeing Mr. Qin in the video, Qin Xiao took Xiao Li’s phone and answered for her, “Yes, She’s pregnant. It’s only been a month.”

When Mr. Qin saw that it was Qin Xiao, he smiled and said, “Good kid, you’re quite efficient…”

When Mrs. Qin saw Qin Xiao, she quickly snatched her phone back. “Xiao’er, Little Li is pregnant. You have to take good care of her! Your father and I will come over tomorrow!

Now you pass the phone to Little Li.”

Hearing this, Qin Xiao handed the phone to Xiao Li. Xiao Li took it with a smile. “Mom…”

Mrs. Qin said, “Little Li, are you feeling unwell now?

Any pregnancy reactions?”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “I don’t feel anything currently. I just tend to doze off often.”

Mother Qin laughed. “That’s because the child loves you.”

Xiao Li smiled. “Yes, indeed.”

Mrs. Qin said, “Little Li, can you handle going to the hospital to work? It’s not easy being on duty at the hospital.”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “Sure. Previously, I could handle it in the emergency department. Now, I’ll be transferred to another department. The other departments are not as tiring as the emergency department.”

Mrs. Qin said, “Alright, you can watch yourself anyway. If it doesn’t work, you don’t go!”

Xiao Li said, “Yes, I know, Mom.”

Mrs. Qin wanted to continue, but Qin Xiao snatched the phone from Xiao Li’s hand. “Mom, Xiao Li has to eat fruits. Let’s talk tomorrow!”

Mrs. Qin hurriedly said, “Okay, okay… Little Li, go and eat! We’ll talk tomorrow when we meet.”

Mother Qin hung up the video…

Qin Xiao put his phone aside and picked up the fruit salad on the coffee table to feed Xiao Li…

The next day, Xiao Li reported to the Cardiology Department. This time, she went to the Cardiology Department alone without Dai Zhihan accompanying her.

Xiao Li reported to the Cardiology Department. Doctor Jiang, her chief happened to be working today, so she followed him to the outpatient clinic.

When she left the emergency department, Xiao Li thought that she could relax later on, but reality proved that it was not easy anywhere…

On the first morning at the outpatient clinic, the patients never stopped coming. When they got off work at noon, they saw a few who had already gotten their numbers and had yet to see them. Dr. Jiang worked overtime to examine them.

By the time they saw all the morning patients, it was past 12:40 pm.
