Chapter 51 Was He to Be Engaged? (1/2)

Ying Qingcang hired a nursing worker for Lin Xiaoyu and prepaid the hospital expenses. Then he took Xin Qing home. The next day, when Xin Qing told the story to Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian at school, Zhang Mi kept sighing. An 18-year-old girl was to become an unwed mother.

”In fact, I think it's good for her if she lost the child. Otherwise, she'll have much to suffer in the future.” Shi Qianqian shook her head, ”It's hard to say whether she's lucky or not.”

”Don't say so!” Xin Qing added quickly, ”Even if it's true, she shouldn't lose the child because of me. I'll carry the guilt throughout my live.”

Zhang Mi thought for a while and asked, ”Did you tell her mother?”

”No. She certainly doesn't want her family to know about this.” Xin Qing scratched her head, ”If she insists on giving birth to the child, how could she raise it?”

No matter how pity they felt for Lin Xiaoyu, they couldn't make the decision for her. During dinner, Xin Qing was still worrying about the unborn child. She didn't know why she'd been acting like this. Perhaps because Lin Xiaoyu's almost miscarriage gave her too much shock. She thought she had to do something for that child.

Seeing that she was absent-minded at the table, Ying Qingcang pointed to the moon outside the window and reminded, ”Hurry up. Don't you remember the date today? Do you want to sleep or not?”

Xin Qing glanced over the moon and blushed. She picked up the bowl and gave Ying Qingcang a dirty look......

Recently, their relationship was at the best state since they met. Argument was replaced by communication. They were polite to each other yet not distant. Xin Qing thought they were like two friends living together, if tonight was not another full-moon night. After all, no friends would make love with each other.

Xin Qing still wouldn't take a bath. She didn't know what kind of mindset this was. Ying Qingcang didn't care about this anyway. When Ying Qingcang finished his bath and came over, she was entirely covered under the quilt.

Ying Qingcang lay down and held her in his arms. Xin Qing saw through the slits beneath her eyelashes that he was watching her with gentle eyes. Her soul seemed to be floating in the midair and was unable to return to the ground for a long time.

When Ying Qingcang woke up, the dawn was just breaking. He put a gentle kiss on Xin Qing's forehead, sneaked out of bed and left quietly.

Xin Qing had no idea that she was in his arms all night. But she remembered she passed out again because of him. She was too tired to open her eyes and complained in her heart that why couldn't all the full-moon nights be at weekends so that she could sleep late.

She kept yawning during lunch at the school canteen. Shi Qianqian looked at her and said sincerely,

”Qing, you need to take care of yourself. You should ask Ying Qingcang to control himself a little!”

Xin Qing blushed and gagged her with a steamed bun.

Nobody thought that Lin Xiaoyu would suddenly appear one week later and waited for them in the dormitory without any intention to hide her current state.

”You've already left the hospital?” Zhang Mi examined her with rude eyes.

Apparently, Lin Xiaoyu didn't plan to have an abortion. She was wearing flat shoes and maternity dress. In fact, she didn't have to wear this since she was only pregnant for no more than three months. Did she plan to tell the whole world that she was pregnant......

”I'm all right now and the baby is fine.” She said this while rubbing her belly. Seeing this, Xin Qing felt her gooseflesh rise. She asked, ”Are you going to give birth to the baby?”

Lin Xiaoyu compressed her lips and chuckled, handing out three red cards.

”Take them. These are my wedding invitations. Come early then. I don't have many friends. You are going to come, don't you?” She raised her head jauntily.

Zhang Mi took them over and opened one of them. ”Damn, are you going to marry Xin Haoyu?”

”Yes, he proposed to me.” Lin Xiaoyu struck a pose and said to Xin Qing, ”Xin Qing, I'm your sister-in-law from now on. We are family.”

Xin Qing glanced over the invitation without any expression and said, ”I don't have a brother. How come we become family.”

”Hehe, whatever.” Lin Xiaoyu held her waist and stood up, ”I just come to inform you. Haoyu is still waiting for me at the door to go for a check! You don't know how much he cares for this baby!” Lin Xiaoyu walked away in small steps. The three looked at the place she just sat, speechless. There was even a cushion.

”What's the situation?” Zhang Mi asked Xin Qing, ”Did the Xin family agree?”

Xin Qing shook her head, ”How should I know. But Xin Pengfei must have agreed if Xin Haoyu is about to marry her.”

When Ying Qingcang came and took her home in the evening, Xin Qing sat at the passenger seat and stared at him.

”Is Lin Xiaoyu going to get married?”

Xin Qing's eyes widened, ”How do you know?”

”Xin Pengfei sent me the invitation.” Ying Qingcang glanced at her and asked, ”Do you want to go?”

”Hell no.” Xin Qing twitched her mouth, ”Lin Xiaoyu invited us only because she wanted to flaunt that she could finally marry Xin Haoyu.”
