Chapter 175: Is That a Wise Choice
Yin Youting moved his lips. He stopped chopping the vegetables and looked at her earnestly.
“Are you sure about that? This is not a small decision; it could influence your whole life.”
“Yes, I am. I plan to raise this child. I already brought Xiaobai up. How can I take away this child’s chance to live?”
“Fine, have you considered giving birth to this child abroad?”
Qin Muxuan frowned. She knew that Yin Youting had proposed that because he didn’t want someone like Yan Yuxiao to bother her.
However, she really was short of money now. Giving birth to a child abroad might cost all money she had saved through all these years’ efforts.
“I’ll think about it.”
“You don’t need to worry about the money, I can…”
Qin Muxuan shook her head right away. She had already troubled Yin Youting so many times. Asking him for help now would only made her seem more useless.
“I know what you want to say. You have already helped me a lot. This is my own business, just let me handle this by myself.”
Yin Youting still took a tough stand, “I know a foreign obstetrician who can take good care of you. I can also introduce you a job with a great salary.”
“…”
Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything, because she was also thinking if this would be better for Xiaobai and herself.
After a long while, she said, “I need some time to think about this.”
Yin Youting nodded, “OK, it’s still too early to talk about your delivery. You have plenty of time to think. However, if you make up your mind, you have to resign soon. You know that the procedure of going abroad to give birth to a baby is complicated. I’m afraid the schedule would be tight then.”
Night fell. Qin Muxuan walked into Qin Xiaobai’s room, finding him focusing on the math book.
“Hey Dabai, you are here!”
“Yes. Here’s some fresh milk. Do you want to drink it?”
Qin Xiaobai took the hot milk. After he took a sip, he put it on the tea table beside him.
“It tastes great. Dabai, do you have anything to say to me?”
“How do you know that?”
“You have been absent-minded for the whole day. I know that you must want to tell me something!”
Qin Muxuan held Qin Xiaobai in her arms and said gently, “You are right. Do you remember the business trip I have in France?”
“I do. And?”
“Mom and dad met each other there.”
Qin Xiaobai tilted his head, “And?”
Qin Muxuan thought for a while, not knowing how to say it. At last she could only find a subtle way to ask,
“Eh, Xiaobai, do you want… a little brother or sister?”
“What?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After a short moment of being in a daze, Qin Xiaobai seemed to finally come back to his senses.
“I… will have a sister?”
Qin Muxuan burst into laughter, “How do you know it’s a sister? Wait, you seem to be happy about this.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded with a sincere look and stared at the floor, “When I see others who have sisters and how much they love their mothers and sisters, I also want a sister too.”
“You… From now on, you have to be a man to protect your little brother or sister.”
“Of course I will! But it has to be a sister!”
Qin Xiaobai was quite cheerful, “Great. I will have a sister! What will be the name of my sister…?”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t help laughing, wondering if Qin Xiaobai would be so annoyed if she was carrying a boy.
After the boy stayed joyful for a while, he suddenly remembered what Gu Zijin had told him today. Then he realized a problem.
“Mom, does dad know about this?”
Qin Muxuan shook her head, “No. I don’t want him to. I just want to give birth to your sister in peace. Promise me that you won’t tell daddy, OK?”
“… Well… Ok.”
Qin Xiaobai pouted. ‘I have just promised to give dad another chance. Why does fate always play tricks on us?’
The second day.
Seeing Qin Muxuan’s face outside the door, Qin Feng answered, “Come in.”
In fact, Qin Muxuan was still not sure if she really wanted to quit her job.
“What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Qin, I might have to leave this position for a while.”
Qin Feng was a bit surprised, but regained calmness quickly, “Why?”
“I need to go abroad… for a long while.”
Her life with her children would never be stable in this country as long as Gu Zijin was here.
The most important thing was that it would be not good for her baby if she had to see Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin displaying their affection publicly every day. That was why she had decided to follow Yin Youting’s advice and go abroad. Out of sight, out of mind.
Now there would be a new member in her family. She had to take the responsibility of raising the two kids, and she wanted to choose a job with a better salary. She only wanted to get stronger to be able to protect her kids.
“You can apply for a long holiday. Don’t you feel it is a pity to drop all the things you have worked so hard for? After all, you have worked so long in our company.”
Qin Muxuan did feel very reluctant to leave, but she had no choice.
“Mr. Qin, I know that you mean good for me by asking me to stay, and I truly want to stay, but I have to go abroad.”
She wanted to work hard for her two kids!
“All right. I can’t change your decision, but you have to have a backup plan.” Qin Feng stayed quiet for a long while and suddenly said, “Once you come back, feel free to contact me. I’ll leave this position to you forever.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t know how to react to Qin Feng’s earnest attitude.
Then she could only bow and give her thanks, “Thanks, Mr. Qin.”
…
Hearing this news, Yin Youting nodded, “You made a right choice. The job I told you is not complicated or exhausting. I believe you are fully capable of doing this job judging from your ability and working experience.”
As Qin Muxuan checked the salary, she found that it was ten thousand dollars a month. She was willing to get the most complicated and exhausting job with that salary.
Once upon a time, she had promised herself not to sacrifice everything for the salary, but now for the two kids…
She had to do it!
“Fine. Then it’s settled.” Qin Muxuan said firmly.
“OK, since you have already decided, I can book tickets for you. I’ll help you handle the things here. Still, have you really decided? You won’t be able to come back for a long time.”
Yin Youting had to confirm that because he didn’t want Qin Muxuan to leave with regret.
Qin Muxuan held Qin Xiaobai’s hand and nodded, “Yes, I have. I can never have a peaceful life here; the foreign country is better for me.”
Yin Youting gave a smile, “Great, I feel relieved hearing this.”
Seeing the disappointed look on Qin Muxuan’s face, Qin Xiaobai asked, “Mom, why do you look so unhappy?”
“I’m not. I just didn’t sleep well yesterday. It’s no big deal.”
Qin Xiaobai answered ‘Oh’ and pretended to believe her.
‘Dabai clearly is not in a good mood now. She just lied that she didn’t sleep well. It must be because of dad. I can tell that mother still have feelings for dad. She will definitely regret leaving in a hurry like this in the future! Why is the adults’ world so complicated and why do they think so strangely?’
Qin Muxuan was also lost in thought right now.
‘Am I really unhappy? I could get a high-paying job and offer a stabler life to Xiaobai. What’s so bad about this?’
