Chapter 744: Really Don’t Know What to Say

Who would’ve thought she was about to give birth!

Just then, Mrs. Fu, who was standing to the side, grew anxious.

She urged the two of them, "Stop chatting and go dry her hair. Catching a chill is no small matter."

Qin Wenhao snapped to his senses. "Right. Honey, let’s dry your hair first."

He carefully helped Fu Mingxue toward the living room.

He returned to their room, retrieved the hair dryer, and then meticulously dried Fu Mingxue’s hair.

Fu Mingxue had actually made this hair dryer herself, and it worked incredibly well.

Before long, her hair was dry.

Just then, Mrs. Fu brought in the freshly boiled dumplings.

"Didn’t you say you were hungry? Hurry up and come eat."

Qin Wenhao had originally planned to ask his wife about the pregnancy.

But now, hearing his mother-in-law say that his wife was hungry, he quickly helped her to the table and sat her down.

"Honey, hurry and eat."

Fu Mingxue really was hungry.

Without another word, she dug right into the dumplings—

Only after eating two plates of dumplings did she let out a satisfied sigh.

"Mom’s dumplings are still the best."

Mrs. Fu’s eyes were a little red. "Oh, you silly girl. Why didn’t you call home? If you’d told us about the pregnancy, I could have come over to take care of you."

’Pregnancy is so hard on a woman!’

’And my daughter still has to work on top of it all.’

Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

She had it all planned out: when her daughter got pregnant, she would be sure to take excellent care of her.

But now, she was about to give birth, and her mother hadn’t cooked a single meal for her.

"Work has been really busy, so I just never thought to call. But don’t worry. Once they found out I was pregnant at the base but still insisting on working, they had the head chef make special nutritious meals just for me. Can’t you see how much weight I’ve gained?"

Mrs. Fu glared at her. "With a belly that big, of course you look like that. That’s the pregnancy, you’re not fat."

"Honey, this must have been so hard on you!" Qin Wenhao didn’t know what else to say.

’If I’d known she was pregnant, I would’ve applied to visit the base no matter what.’

’Or I could have taken some time off to stay and take care of her.’

’Then it wouldn’t have been like this, with me knowing nothing and not helping at all.’

"I’m fine. I didn’t even know I was pregnant until I was three months along."

It was purely a case of her being inexperienced.

On top of that, the staff at the base were all workaholics.

Of course, it was also because she wore loose-fitting work uniforms, so no one noticed.

If it hadn’t been for a cafeteria lady smiling and congratulating her one day, she wouldn’t even have realized it herself.

"So, when are you due?"

"My due date should be in about two weeks."

When Mrs. Fu heard there were only two weeks left, she grew anxious too.

’I haven’t prepared a single thing!’

Qin Wenhao was anxious too. "Honey, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. You must be exhausted after such a long car ride. We have to get you checked out."

"Tomorrow’s no good. I have to make a trip to the factory. Let’s go the day after tomorrow. I’ll be taking a few days off starting then."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu grew even more frantic. "Surely the work can wait? Go to the hospital first tomorrow, then you can go to your work."

To her, the job wasn’t nearly as important as her daughter’s well-being.

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "Let’s make it the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is rather important. Don’t worry, a doctor specifically gave me a check-up the day I left. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been comfortable letting me take the car back."

Hearing that she had already had a check-up, Mrs. Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you should go get some rest right now."

She had a lot to get busy with—like preparing diapers, swaddling blankets, and baby clothes.
