Chapter 1145 - Don’t Be Afraid Rebirth to a (2/2)

Qiao Nan accepted her help. Ever since her tummy became larger, the Zhai family treated her as if she was brittle and fragile.

Qiao Nan would only be treated like a normal person when she was at school or the Palace Museum.

Qiao Nan lay on the bed, but she did not fall asleep. She was troubled but she could not find someone to talk to. Luckily, Zhai Sheng made a phone call right then.

Before Miao Jing handed the phone to Qiao Nan, she did not forget to remind her son to keep the conversation short. “Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan is pregnant. Electronic devices will emit radiation and it will not be good for Nan Nan and the children. Remember not to speak on the phone for too long. If there’s anything important, wait until you come back to chat with Qiao Nan.”

“I understand,” Zhai Sheng replied. He knew that if he did not promise his mother, she would hog the phone and pa.s.s the message for him and Qiao Nan.

After getting Zhai Sheng’s promise, Miao Jing pa.s.sed the cell phone to Qiao Nan reluctantly. “Nan Nan, don’t tire yourself out. Don’t stay on the phone for too long. He will be back soon. By then, I will make sure that he spends time with you and the children.”

“Yes, Mom.”

Qiao Nan held the cell phone and waited until her mother-in-law left the room before the tears that she had been holding in rolled down her cheeks.

Even though Qiao Nan did not cry out loud, and there were only slight changes in her breathing, Zhai Sheng, who was her husband, could tell that something was amiss. “Are you crying?”

“Yes.” Qiao Nan would not keep any secrets from Zhai Sheng. She would tell him exactly what she felt.

“Don’t be afraid.”

“I can’t do it. I cannot help but be afraid.” n.o.body could understand her mixed feelings and dilemma except for Brother Zhai.

Zhai Sheng’s heart ached for Qiao Nan, especially when he heard her sobs on the other end of the phone.

He enjoyed working in the army and he was pa.s.sionate about serving the country. Being a soldier was Zhai Sheng’s greatest honor.

But Zhai Sheng could not help but feel a twinge of regret at this moment.

As a soldier, he could not stay by his wife’s side like any other man. He knew that Nan Nan was suffering and was in agony, and he could hear her sobs on the other end of the phone, but he could not stay by her side to comfort her or hug her, wiping her tears off her face.

Zhai Sheng was enveloped by a sense of helplessness.

“Brother Zhai?” Qiao Nan could hear Zhai Sheng’s deep sighs on the other end of the phone. She felt bitter inside. “Do you think this is purely groundless worries and I am being too emotional? Mom and Sister Zhai Hua are thrilled. Grandpa and Dad have yet to come back, but they will definitely be overjoyed.”

She might be the only person who felt gloomy after finding out that she was carrying twins.

“Nan Nan, I understand your feelings, but you should trust yourself and trust me. You are different from your mom. Both of you are poles apart. Even if something similar really happens, I will remind you. My parents and the old master will remind you. Zhai Hua will also remind you. There are so many people around you who will help you. Will you refuse to listen to them?”

“No, I will not do that.” Qiao Nan had tears in her eyes as she shook her head. “I will listen to them. I will definitely treat all my children equally. I will make sure that they are the happiest children in this world. I will do it. I will definitely do it!”

“That’s right. You must have more confidence in yourself. Back then, you wanted to have one child because you were worried that you would be biased.”
