69: Chapter 69 (Completed) Xia, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut.

10:00 PM.

Qin Xun had just leisurely delivered an order to a wealthy villa area in Haicheng. After leaving the residential complex, he became diligent like a little bee again, slowly heading towards the next merchant to pick up an order.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful woman squatting at the entrance of a fruit shop, clutching her stomach, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

There was a fruit basket beside her.

That back profile... it looked a bit like Xia Ning?

He stopped his electric scooter and paused to observe, noticing that many male passersby were casting concerned glances her way.

Some of the bolder ones even went up to strike up a conversation. However, the beauty just shook her head slightly, ignoring them, appearing somewhat cold.

Suddenly, for some reason, the beauty raised her head and looked at him.

Their eyes met.

They both recognized each other.

Xia Ning was a bit surprised.

He actually managed to shake off Song Ying and started his slacking-off style of food delivery again?

He really wasn't swayed by beauty!

She stood up, supporting herself with her knees, and waved at Qin Xun.

"Come here."

The voice was very small, but Qin Xun heard it clearly.

He parked his electric scooter and walked over.

He saw that Xia Ning's face was a bit flushed, but her lips were pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

He asked, "Little Xia, what is actually wrong with you?"

He noticed that Xia Ning had seemed uncomfortable all day. He had asked several times, but she refused to say anything.

It seemed she had some unspeakable secret.

Xia Ning thought about how she had licked the tea Qin Xun spat out yesterday, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Qin Xun, can you take me to Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital?"

"My stomach hurts a bit right now."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xun's pupils constricted.

He was stunned for a long time.

Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital was a very famous private hospital in Haicheng. It was expensive, provided excellent service, and was very capable at fetal protection and prenatal care.

No wonder she didn't want to talk about it.

Such a young and beautiful girl, pregnant, and possibly facing a miscarriage.

Anyone in her position would be unwilling to talk about it.

But damn it, why am I living with her?

Wouldn't this cause misunderstandings?

I really can't live in this house anymore!

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, paused for a while, and directly refused.

"In your current condition, it's best not to ride an electric scooter. It would be better to take a taxi."

Xia Ning didn't understand; she had ridden it in the morning, so she insisted, "If I take a taxi, I'm afraid it will be too late. The road is too congested."

Qin Xun's heart trembled. He glanced at Xia Ning's stomach, suppressed the slight annoyance rising in his heart, and a sacred sense of mission welled up.

There was a life in her stomach!

He raised his head, looked into Xia Ning's eyes, and nodded solemnly.

"Alright, trust me. I will definitely get you there quickly, steadily, and safely."

Xia Ning smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits.

It was very beautiful!

She bent down to pick up the fruit basket on the ground.

Seeing this, Qin Xun quickly reached out to take it.

Xia Ning was a bit surprised.

It was rare for this guy to have gentlemanly manners.

Qin Xun took a look; it was a basket of grapes, and he glanced at the price tag.

He exclaimed, "This little bit of grapes is 196?"

Xia Ning understood why he was shocked, but she pretended to be confused and changed the subject. She didn't like to show off her wealth.

"This is indeed a basket of grapes. You know, pregnant people like to eat something sweet and sour."

Qin Xun was silent for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.

He didn't know how to respond to the topic of a girl being pregnant.

He couldn't just ask if it was a boy or a girl? Whether it could be saved or not? Who the father of the child was, right?

Besides, he didn't want to ask either.

Annoying!

Qin Xun put the grapes into the insulated box, got on the electric scooter, and held the handlebars steadily.

"Little Xia, get on, be careful."

Xia Ning was a bit surprised and took a look at Qin Xun.

He was excessively gentle today.

Strange.

She got on the electric scooter lightly.

Qin Xun activated Overclocking Mode, slowly started the vehicle, and rode onto the road. The speed was neither fast nor slow, but it was surprisingly stable.

Steady as Mount Tai.

Steady as a rock.

Steady as an old dog.

To avoid traffic, he chose a road with fewer cars and a smooth surface.

On the other side of the road, one could see the sea in the distance.

The sea breeze blew in, feeling very cool.

Suddenly, he heard Xia Ning behind him shout at the top of her lungs, "What — a — big — wind!"

Qin Xun was startled.

Through their time together, he had determined that although Xia Ning was soft-hearted, she was actually a person with a very indifferent and cold temperament, without much emotional fluctuation.

He didn't expect that she could occasionally be so chuunibyou.

He reminded her, "Be careful."

He only heard Xia Ning's apologetic voice sound from behind.

"Sorry!"

"I've just been under a lot of pressure lately. I suddenly felt it was so beautiful when I saw the bright moon over the sea."

"I just wanted to shout a couple of times."

Qin Xun nodded, looking seriously at the road ahead.

"I understand, I understand."

He thought about the fact that there was no wedding ring on Xia Ning's finger, and he immediately understood.

This child, its origin was unknown!

Sigh... Those mistakes made in youth were like autumn leaves, already blown away by the wind.

Behind him, Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun's broad back and smiled helplessly.

You understand?

You don't understand!

More than half of my pressure comes from you.

Listening to you curse me as a "son of a bitch" in my ear every day, cursing my company to go bankrupt.

Fighting with the company's nominal general manager.

And when my inbox is full of emails, you go out to have fun with a young girl.

And I have to worry about you being poached by headhunting companies all the time.

Whoever it was, the pressure would be unbearable.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Qin Xun dropped Xia Ning off at the hospital entrance, took the grapes out of the delivery box, and asked politely, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Xia Ning politely declined.

"Thank you, no need!"

She glanced at his delivery box and laughed.

"I won't delay your... slacking-off anymore!"

The smile was too beautiful.

For a moment, Qin Xun was a bit dazed.

What a pretty girl, what a pity, she's become a young matron!

For some reason, he felt a bit congested in his heart.

"Little Xia, rest assured, my lips are sealed."

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning deeply, handed her the grapes, got on the electric scooter, and left without looking back.

Xia Ning watched Qin Xun's back.

Lips sealed?

What lips sealed?

Isn't it foul-mouthed?

She saw that Qin Xun didn't turn back even once and snorted coldly.

Heh... this man!

Worse than a dog!

Her stomach started hurting again.

Is the tea spat out by a foul-mouthed person really that toxic?

Xia Ning walked slowly into the hospital and went to the inpatient department.

In a single patient room decorated like a five-star hotel, a charming middle-aged woman was lying on the bed, eating the grapes Xia Ning had just brought.

Xia Ning stood by the window, looking at the night view outside.

"Mom, are you really that craving for these grapes?"

"Why the rush?"

Xia's mother turned her head to look at her daughter's thin back and smiled.

"I just wanted to see you."

"I heard from Auntie Wu that you moved out. Your stomach is not good, can you eat the food outside?"

Xia Ning thought of Qin Xun's tea, and her stomach seemed to ache faintly.

"As long as it's not particularly dirty, I can handle it."

Xia's mother felt somewhat helpless.

"Why does a girl like you go and start a company?"

"Your dad is busy, you are starting to get busy, and your grandmother has to take care of Jingjing. Who will come to talk to me?"

Xia Ning turned her head and smiled apologetically at her mother.

"When my company stabilizes, I will make time to keep you company properly."

After saying that, she immediately turned her head and looked out the window.

Under the moonlight, in the distance, she saw a beam of light.

It was flickering on the coastal road.

That was the road Qin Xun had taken to bring her here; perhaps that beam of light was his too.

Suddenly, her mother's voice sounded.

"Ningning, what are you looking at?"

Xia Ning watched the beam of light on the coastal road disappear and suddenly laughed.

"I'm looking at an idiot."

The room fell into silence.

Silence... still silence.

"Ningning, how did you learn to swear?"

Her mother's voice sounded, looking a bit anxious.

Xia Ning turned back, walked to the window, picked up a grape, and peeled it. Thinking of Qin Xun's annoying face, she said, "I've been influenced by bad company."

Xia's mother felt helpless. She looked at Xia Ning and let out a heavy sigh through her nose.

"Ningning, you must bring a man home this year."

"How can you still be single at your age?"

"The 'single from birth' that people talk about online is exactly your type."

"If I had known, I would have burned all those love letters you received in middle school and high school."

Xia Ning smiled lightly, not minding at all.

"I don't have a man, do you want a dog?"

Xia's mother didn't expect to hear such words from her and was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, she clutched her stomach and started crying out, "Ouch, ouch."

"I'm going to miscarry, I'm going to miscarry!"

"Your little brother is going to be gone!"

"We must have a wedding to bring good luck, otherwise, it definitely won't be saved."

Xia Ning stuffed the peeled grape into her mother's mouth.

"Alright, I know!"

"Really... so annoying!"

...

It took an hour and a half for Qin Xun to finish delivering two food orders.

He leaned against a utility pole and drank beer.

He didn't know why, he just wanted to drink a little.

He sighed, looked at the rental advertisement on the utility pole, and saved the number.

"Borrow some money from Xia Ning tomorrow and rent a place."

Ding!

A cold, mechanical voice sounded.
