Loving You Too Much - Chapter 417
Li Qin Yao had thought that her morning sickness would stop once she entered the second trimester. However, even after she had entered the second trimester, her nausea did not stop and had gotten worst instead.
Because she almost could not eat anything, Li Qin Yao had to go back and forth to the hospital for a frequent check-up.
However, her mother’s frequent visit to the hospital was making the little princess unhappy. Zhang Li Xue could still remember how her father was lying on the bed, looking lifeless and her mother’s somber look and had a bad impression of a hospital ever since.
Once Zhang Li Xue knew that her parents were going to the hospital, she would cling to her mother and had refused to let go.
It seemed that she was worried that once her mother visited the hospital, she was going to stay there for a long time and leave her.
The couple did not have the heart to leave their daughter alone. In the end, the couple had made another arrangement. In some days, Zhang Yu Han called Qi Zheng over to their house to let him give his wife a drip so that both mother and child would get the nutrient they need.
Looking at his wife who was lying on the bed, Zhang Yu Han was upset. Li Qin Yao’s body was thinner than before she was pregnant. Though he wanted to do something to help her ease her pain, there was nothing that he can do about it.
“Stop scowling,” Li Qin Yao spoke as she looked at the two people beside the bed.
Zhang Yu Han heaved a long sigh and quickly readjusted his mood. He was worried that if he continued to show the unpleasant expression, his wife will be unhappy and that will affect her.
“Mommy, does it hurt?” Zhang Li Xue stared at the needle, but the frown on her face does not disappear.
She had sat on her father’s ŀȧp when her uncle Qi Zheng put the needle in her mother’s arms. Though she can see that her mother did not make any expression to show that she was in pain, Zhang Li Xue was still worried. The last time her mother had brought her over to the hospital to get an injection, Zhang Li Xue had cried because it was too painful.
Of course, once she saw that her mother did not cry like she did the last time, Zhang Li Xue was amazed. Her mother was definitely a superwoman!
“It doesn’t hurt,” Li Qin Yao shook her head and laughed softly. It was always amusing to see the father and daughter’s frowning at the same time.
Zhang Li Xue shifted her gaze and looked at her mother. Once she was sure that her mother was not lying to her, the frown on her face gradually disappeared. She looked away and her gaze stopped at her mother’s belly.
“Mommy, you don’t eat too much, but your stomach is as big as mine,” Zhang Li Xue commented as her attention turned at her mother’s slightly bulging stomach. Then, as if to prove her point, the little girl lifted her shirt to show off her stomach. “You look.” She patted at her stomach and smiled.
Li Qin Yao smiled. “Well, my stomach is this big because a baby is growing in my belly. Later, the baby will grow up and when the time comes, the baby will come out,” Li Qin Yao said. “Didn’t you say that you wanted a sibling to play with you?”
The little girl still remembered her conversation with her mother some times ago. When she recalled the baby she had saw the last time at her auntie’s wedding, her lips curled into a smile.
A thought crossed her mind and the smile on her face quickly disappeared and was replaced with a curious look. “Hmm,” Zhang Li Xue continued to stare at her mother’s stomach. “But, how did the baby get into your stomach?”
Li Qin Yao froze.
She was not prepared to hear this question and did not know how to answer it. Of course, when she could not answer it, Li Qin Yao immediately turned to her husband and hoped that he will help her.
Zhang Li Xue saw that her mother did not answer her question right away like she used to do and thought that her mother did not know the answer. Then, she followed her mother’s gaze and the two girls stared at the father.
“Well.” Zhang Yu Han let out a dry cough as he tried to think of the best explanation. He then looked at his daughter with a serious expression and spoke, “Of course, an angel put the baby in your mother’s belly. Isn’t it the same as you? Back then, Li Xue, you also came out from your mother’s stomach.”
The little girl pondered over her father’s words seriously. She turned to her mother and saw that she was staring at her father with a dazed expression. Then, Zhang Li Xue peeked at her father’s expression and saw that his face was as serious as usual. Then, he shouldn’t be lying to her, right?
Anyway, she had watched a few shows on the television and knew that an angel can do some magical things. At the thought that the baby was something from an angel, Zhang Li Xue did not think that her father’s explanation was strange.
“Then, daddy, why don’t the angel put the baby in your belly?”
Zhang Yu Han felt the corner of his lips twitched. His daughter was at the phase where she was curious over a lot of things and would sometimes ask strange questions like this.
However, at this time, he too could not answer the little princess’s question. It feels that he had to make some research on how to explain to her daughter about these things.
He lifted her gaze to the bottle of drip and lifted her daughter. “Well, your mother is almost done with her medication. Help me ad call your uncle Qi Zheng so that he can remove the needle.”
Well if you cannot answer, it was probably best if he avoided this topic for a while.
The little girl’s eyes widened. She slid off her father’s arms and ran out of the room with her short legs. “Uncle Qi Zheng!”
“How can you tell your daughter some nonsense about an angel putting a baby in my stomach?” Li Qin Yao whispered as her daughter had run off.
“Then, do you think it’s appropriate to tell her the truth?” Zhang Yu Han raised a brow.
“Uh…” Li Qin Yao lowered her gaze.
At this time, Qi Zheng came and knocked on the door. He helped to get the needle off and gave Li Qin Yao a quick check-up. After reminding the couple that they have to go to an appointment with Doctor Qiao next week, Qi Zheng then left the room.
Li Qin Yao get off the bed and walked over to the bathroom. When she came out again, her husband was looking at his phone with a grin on his face. “What are you looking at?” Li Qin Yao peeked at his phone and saw that he was looking at a forum.
“It’s nothing,” Zhang Yu Han chuckled. “I thought about Li Xue’s question and wonder how the other parents explained how babies are made to their child.”
“How did they answer?” She stared at him and suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Well, most of them gave almost the same nonsense answer to their kids,” Zhang Yu Han said. “But this one is my favorite. A father gave his child this answer,” He scrolled his phone and cleared his throat before he read aloud, “I just told my kid that I waved a magic wand to your mother’s stomach and then the baby magically appeared.” Zhang Yu Han paused and looked at his wife. “If I explained to Li Xue like this, do you think she will believe me?”
Li Qin Yao thought about this magic wand and her face gradually turned a shade darker. She slapped him on his arms and hissed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
