Therefore, Fang Yuqing was quite surprised to see her dressed like this.
Qiao Jiusheng put her bag on her shoulder and walked out of the door with Fang Yuqing. As she walked, she said, “It’s my period. My stomach hurts a little. I’ll suffer in high heels.”
Fang Yuqing said, “No wonder.”
They took the elevator down and prepared to have breakfast at the hotel before heading to the fashion show.
When they arrived at the dining room, Fang Yuqing and Qiao Jiusheng took their plates. When they were choosing their food, Fang Yuqing thought of something and her expression suddenly became solemn. She held her plate and stood motionless by the dining table.
Qiao Jiusheng realized that Fang Yuqing was in a daze with a plate and felt that it was quite strange, so she asked her, “Are you ok?”
“Thinking about something.”
“What are you thinking of?”
Fang Yuqing looked at Qiao Jiusheng with a strange expression and did not speak.
Qiao Jiusheng felt uneasy under her gaze and asked her again, “What’s wrong?”
Fang Yuqing walked up to Qiao Jiusheng and asked her in a low voice, “I was supposed to have my period on the first day of the month, but it’s not here yet.” Fang Yuqing added, “It’s already the eighth day today.”
Qiao Jiusheng was shocked. Her gaze slowly moved down and landed on Fang Yuqing’s abdomen.
“I say…” Qiao Jiusheng swallowed and reached out to touch Fang Yuqing’s stomach. She said,” Should we go to the pharmacy? ”
Fang Yuqing’s heart was beating wildly.
She did not hear what Qiao Jiusheng said clearly. Fang Yuqing asked Qiao Jiusheng, “What did you say?”
“I said, let’s go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test.”
Fang Yuqing’s heart was in a mess. “I-I don’t think so.” She hadn’t expected to get pregnant so early. After getting pregnant, she and Jiang Wei had used contraception most of the time.
Would she get pregnant like this?
“To be safe, let’s check it out. Let’s eat something first and ask if there’s a pharmacy nearby later.” Qiao Jiusheng picked some food for Fang Yuqing and found a table to sit down.
When Fang Yuqing was eating, she was distracted. It would be strange if she could eat properly.
Qiao Jiusheng was also thinking about Fang Yuqing and did not eat much.
They helped themselves to some food and went to the pharmacy.
After buying the pregnancy test kit, they returned to the hotel. Fang Yuqing entered the toilet. Qiao Jiusheng was eager to know the results, so she stood at the door and waited for her. After a few minutes, Fang Yuqing shouted from inside, “Sister-in-law Ah Sheng, come and take a look.”
Qiao Jiusheng pushed open the door and walked in.
Fang Yuqing was holding two pregnancy test kits in her hand. Her expression looked quite calm, but it was wrong to say calm. She looked more like a fool. Qiao Jiusheng walked over and took a look. Very good, there were two purple-red horizontal bars on both pregnancy test kits.
Qiao Jiusheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Fang Yuqing. “You won.”
Fang Yuqing still had that expression. It was unclear if she was indifferent or overly excited.
“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” Qiao Jiusheng waved her hand in front of Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing said in a daze, “It’s like a dream.”
“Why?”
Looking at Fang Yuqing’s lost expression, Qiao Jiusheng secretly recalled the first time she knew that she was pregnant. At that time, she shouldn’t have been as useless as Fang Yuqing, right?
“I’ve always heard that some women have had an abortion when they were young and can’t get pregnant in the future. I don’t know if it’s just an alarmist thing but I’ve always felt uneasy.” Fang Yuqing tightened her grip on the pregnancy test kit and told Qiao Jiusheng, “I’m afraid that I can’t get pregnant. Most of the time, I get Jiang Wei to take precautions.”
Her voice dropped to a humbling whisper. “This way, even if a year or so passes and I’m not pregnant, I can reassure myself that it’s not that I can’t get pregnant, but that we’ve taken birth control.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not expect Fang Yuqing to suddenly say such a thing.
Once again, she touched the depths of this girl’s heart and felt tender affection. “Qingqing, aren’t you pregnant?”
Holding the pregnancy test kit, Fang Yuqing was about to cry. “Yes, yes, I’m pregnant.” She said to Qiao Jiusheng in a sobbing voice that was close to a breakdown, “I’m especially afraid that I won’t be able to give birth. Previously, there was no movement in my stomach. I was especially anxious. There were several times when I wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup to see if I couldn’t get pregnant.”
When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, she was a little surprised. “Didn’t you just say that you and Jiang Wei had contraception? It would be a miracle if you got pregnant.”
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuqing said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t know how difficult it is for me. We’ve been married for half a year, and most of the time, we use contraception measures. However, I deliberately didn’t remind Jiang Wei to wear condoms during the ovulation period every month. I don’t know if Jiang Wei has really forgotten or if he has sensed my thoughts, but he cooperated with me and didn’t use contraception.”
“It’s been more than six months. For the past six months, we’ve had contact at every ovulation. We haven’t avoided pregnancy. But my body hasn’t changed. I almost thought I wouldn’t be able to have children for the rest of my life.” Gently, she pressed her hand to her abdomen and murmured, “And yet here he is. How nice, sister-in-law. Here he is.”
Fang Yuqing cried.
She held onto the sink and wept sadly.
When Qiao Jiusheng met Fang Yuqing, she was only 17 years old. Now, she was 23 years old and almost 24 years old. She had witnessed Fang Yuqing grow from a little girl to a woman. When she had an abortion, it was Qiao Jiusheng who accompanied her. On the day she was pregnant, it was Qiao Jiusheng who put on the wedding dress for her. It was her honor to witness her having a new life for the first time again.
Qiao Jiusheng also felt happy for Fang Yuqing.
She hugged Fang Yuqing and did not say a word, but Fang Yuqing felt at ease.
This excitement lasted for more than two hours.
Fang Yuqing had been hesitating about whether to tell Jiang Wei about her pregnancy, but in the end, she decided to tell him personally when she returned to the country. She would just treat it as a surprise.
Knowing that she was pregnant, Fang Yuqing naturally could not wear high heels anymore. She also changed into a pair of flat shoes and changed her clothes before going to the fashion show with Qiao Jiusheng.
Initially, they planned to watch a few more fashion shows, but for the sake of Fang Yuqing’s health, they simplified their schedule and only attended a few well-known fashion shows.
The videos and interviews of the Haute Couture Fashion Show were reported on the domestic websites every day. Fang Yuqing was not famous now, nor was she in the fashion industry in the past so she was not famous in the country.
However, Qiao Jiusheng was different. She was a famous fashion influencer on Weibo. Her every move in Paris was quite eye-catching.
Fang Yuqing always went out with Qiao Jiusheng. As long as one was observant, they would always see Fang Yuqing in the news section report about Qiao Jiusheng.
Over the past few days, Fang Yusheng and Jiang Wei had been relying on these reports to find traces of Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yuqing in the photos to kill their loneliness.
