Chapter 1779: Bite Hard
“Then you’ve been with him since then? Is that why you’ve been drinking blood?”
Shen Fanxing was silent for a while before saying, “I don’t think so. At first, I just wanted to protect myself and learn something. Then… I wanted to live a better life.”
If she wanted to live better, she had to give.
No one could live a carefree life.
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, “Anyway, the past is the past. I hope you can continue to be happy. Don’t make me worry.”
Shen Fanxing turned to look at her and said, “I should be the one saying that.”
Xu Qing paused and turned to look at the construction site in the distance. She sighed.
“No matter what you say, Fanxing, the child will be everything to me. I’ll be a mother in the future. I’ll be a child who needs to be able to protect me and not be protected by others. Just like what you said just now, in order to live a better life, the premise of all this is to protect myself. You can do it, and so can I.”
Her tone became more relaxed as she held Shen Fanxing’s arm. “You don’t have to worry about me. Besides, I have you as my backing.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “It’s good that you know.”
Xu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow and said, “Of course, I want to cling onto you for the rest of my life.”
On their way back, Xu Qingzhi bid farewell to Shen Fanxing.
“In the future, you must focus on taking care of the baby. Don’t worry about anything else. If anything happens to you, I’ll be anxious too. Consider it as thinking about me and the child in my stomach. Take care of the baby in peace, okay?”
Xu Qingzhi was really afraid of Shen Fanxing.
She had never been idle.
Shen Fanxing nodded helplessly and said, “I know, I know. I won’t do it again.”
“That’s good. You’re already four months pregnant and you’re twins. You won’t be pregnant for long. I can’t run around either. Your husband has been annoying me to death recently. I indeed can’t stay here any longer. I’ve booked a flight for tomorrow morning… See you after we give birth.”
Shen Fanxing squeezed her hand and didn’t ask her to stay.
Some netizens had already begun to suspect Xu Qingzhi and Limo’s marriage. If they continued to stay here, it would not be good for their reputation.

The discussion about Xu Qingzhi and Li Mo was in full swing online.
Some people couldn’t help but gloat at Xu Qingzhi’s coldness.
“Isn’t she asking for it? She schemed to get pregnant to get to where she is today. Being able to marry her is already giving her face. What else does she want?”
“But the two of them still have a child. Without Young Master Li, she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant! What’s wrong with you? It’s clearly their fault. Why are you blaming the woman?”
“Tsk, who doesn’t know that Young Master Li has another woman in his heart? What did he do to his family because of her? If Xu Qingzhi didn’t seduce him on purpose, how could Young Master Li have slept with her?”
“Moreover, Young Master Li and that so-called Mrs Li are classmates, right?”
“Tsk tsk tsk… It’s a love triangle in school… But this Mrs Li is indeed scheming. The two of them are in love with each other. Not only did she become Mrs Li, but she also has a child. How impressive…”
“Passengers traveling from Ping Cheng to Rong City, please take note. The flight RA1992 you are on will now be registered…”
When the boarding notice sounded, Xu Qingzhi put away her phone, picked up her bag, and walked towards the boarding gate expressionlessly.
She was calm.
She had to remain calm too.
This wasn’t the first time she had heard such comments.
What she saw, what she heard, and even the looks of disdain and fear from others…
She was too familiar with them.
It was numbingly familiar.
It took more than two hours to travel from Ping Cheng to Rong City.
After finding a seat, she took out her phone again and glanced at the empty messages and calls. Her lips twitched and she switched off her phone.
The flight attendant stayed by her side until the plane took off.
The cabin was comfortable enough.
She leaned back in her chair and looked at the white clouds outside through the window.
Her expression was calm, but her thoughts seemed to have drifted away.
When she went back, she should clean the room first. She had to wash the bedsheets and blankets. It was time to water the flowers at home. She should go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and eat better.
With balanced nutrition, her son would be healthy when he was born.
She would rest at home today and go to the office tomorrow.
With Chu Yi’s endorsement and Fanxing’s recent popularity, the company’s sales had increased significantly.
The possibility of other matters and cooperation was also increasing. The various departments in the company should have many things to report and deal with these few days.
She could still lead an orderly life alone.
At the very least, she wouldn’t mistreat herself.
Taking a deep breath, she pulled the blanket over herself and placed her hand gently on her stomach. She stared silently at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and gradually closed her eyes.
The announcement that the plane was ready to land sounded in the cabin. She opened her eyes and looked around. She sighed and sat up straight.
The plane landed smoothly and she took a taxi to the supermarket before going home.
According to the plan on the plane, she had to prepare the ingredients, stew the soup, cook the porridge, change the blanket in the middle, and clean the room.
She went to the kitchen to take a look at the soup and porridge.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After she was done, she made two more dishes and ate a bowl of porridge before going to the kitchen to bring out the soup that she had just brewed.
This was what the nutritionist in the kitchen had taught her at Bo’s house. There were also many types of vegetables and soup. She remembered them all. They were good for pregnant women and babies.
Although it didn’t taste as good as the chef’s, it could still be eaten.
After finishing the soup, she took out the blanket from the washing machine and hung it up to dry. Looking at the spotless room, she sighed. She was in a good mood.
She was a little sweaty. She went upstairs to change out of her home clothes and went into the bedroom. When she opened the wardrobe to get her clothes, her eyes accidentally landed on the other half of the wardrobe.
She had deliberately emptied a lot of space there, but there were only two sets of clothes for the man.
Her heart ached. Back then, she had fantasized too much about him and Limo living together.
They could eat three meals a day together, apart from being busy occasionally.
There was her and his toothbrush in the bathroom, their bathrobe in the bathroom, and their clothes in the closet.
The slippers were for two, the dishes were for two, and the water was for two. Everything was for the two of them.
It was true now, but it seemed too ironic.
Pursing her lips, she opened the other door of the cabinet and took out the gowns that she had piled up.
In the end, she didn’t even change her clothes. She walked to the bathroom and put away the other bathrobe and toothbrush. Then, she ran downstairs and threw away the slippers, dishes, and cups.
When she was done, she stood in the middle of the living room, her chest heaving and her eyes red.
The sadness and grievance in her heart filled her entire body. Her throat moved and she stubbornly swallowed the bitterness that surged up.
However, tears still fell from her eyes.
A tear shattered the stubbornness she had built up.
Her breathing was choked with sobs. Her chest was swollen and she felt indescribably uncomfortable.
She reached out to cover her stomach and took a deep breath, stubbornly holding back her tears.
After a long while, she seemed to have composed herself. Taking a deep breath, she walked to the sofa and sat down. Finally, she leaned against the back of the sofa and raised her arm to cover her eyes.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
Only the dust drifting in the air silently swam their entire lives under the sun.
The sudden call broke the silence in the house. She sat up straight and picked up the phone from the coffee table.
“Qingzhi, have you reached home safely?”
Shen Fanxing’s anxious and worried voice sounded.
“Oh my, I’m sorry. I forgot. I came back to clean up and wash up. Unknowingly, this happened…”
Her voice sounded completely different from her emotions just now. She was fine and even cheerful.
Shen Fanxing heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re home. I’ve been waiting for your call…”
“Sorry, I really forgot. By the way, I stewed the soup that the nutritionist gave me today. Although it doesn’t taste that good, it’s still delicious!”
Shen Fanxing chuckled and said, “Let me see what else he will cook in the future. I’ll share it with you and get him to tell you.”
“Okay!” Xu Qingzhi said happily, “We ate the same food when we were pregnant. When the time comes, my son and my daughter-in-law will be so compatible, don’t you think so?”
“How can food be compatible?” Shen Fanxing was helpless. She wanted to find a wife for her son. She could find connections in everything.
“Of course. They’ve been in sync since they were in the womb. When they’re born, it’s easy for them to like each other. At the very least, their tastes are the same.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Maybe.”
“I have to.”
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingzhi said, “I just had dinner and I’m planning to go out for a walk. Let’s not chat anymore.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Okay, don’t go too far. Be careful.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Xu Qingzhi leaned back on the sofa and heaved a sigh of relief.
With Fanxing’s worrying personality, who knew what she would do if she detected any other emotions.
However… she really shouldn’t be in this room now.
After a while, she stood up, placed her phone on the coffee table, and went upstairs again.
When she went downstairs again, she had already changed her clothes. The loose cotton shirt protected her well.
Grabbing her phone and keys, she left the house.
She drove to a nearby mall.
After buying two sets of anti-radiation maternity wear, she couldn’t help but shop in the mother and baby shop.
These things were enough to calm her restless heart.
There was a crib, a stroller, baby clothes, a small cartoon tooth bite, a small bathtub, a small towel, and washing supplies. There was everything.
She wanted to buy anything she saw. In fact, she had bought a lot of things.
Seeing her like this, the manager suggested that she leave her address and send it to her later. Xu Qingzhi agreed readily.
She went to the resting area downstairs and ordered a cup of hot water to drink. Beside her was a small indoor amusement park. The children were playing happily inside. Most of the parents were resting and watching them. Although the smiles on their faces were faint, she knew that seeing the children’s happy faces would definitely make them even happier.
For a moment, Xu Qingzhi was reluctant to leave because a little girl suddenly ran into her mother’s arms and burst into tears.
“What’s wrong, Baby?” the young mother asked her with a pained expression.
“Little rabbit… Little rabbit is dead…”
Surprised, Xu Qingzhi turned to look at a corner. There was a small pet house there.
She raised an eyebrow and walked over curiously.
Many children had already surrounded the entrance and were looking in curiously.
The pet doctor wearing a blue coat silently placed a snow-white rabbit into a small box. It seemed like he wanted to get rid of it.
From the beginning to the end, the rabbit didn’t move. Its long ears drooped lifelessly.
She pursed her lips and blinked as she looked at the furry heads.
In the end, she walked in and the waiter immediately welcomed her apologetically.
“Miss, do you need anything?”
Xu Qingzhi paused and said, “I hope to have a pet that can accompany my baby. It doesn’t have any offensive power and can play with him very gently. Do you have any recommendations?”
The shop assistant looked at her stomach and smiled.
“In that case, that dog is the most suitable. Not only can it accompany you, but it’s also very gentle and meticulous. Sometimes, when you can’t take care of it, they can help you take care of it… Be it for children or adults, they are the most gentle and loyal companions.”
Xu Qingzhi was tempted and nodded. “Can I take a look?”
“Of course.”
In the end, Xu Qingzhi chose a golden retriever puppy. She bought some dog food and learned from the shop assistant before leaving with a bunch of things.
As for the dead rabbit, what could she do?
After returning home, she made a small nest for the puppy on the balcony. After some thought, she took out the brand new cotton slippers that she had prepared for Li Mo and threw them in front of the puppy.
Perhaps it was because it was warm, or perhaps it was just fun, but the little golden retriever wasn’t too uncomfortable with the new owner. He picked up the slippers and took two bites.
Xu Qingzhi stood at the side and watched its actions. She couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“Yes! Bite as hard as you can. If it’s not enough, there’s another pair.”
