After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qin Ce tried hard to express his love for his daughter.

Qiao Xing knew that he was such a person. Although he didn't show it obviously enough, his action was always above all else.

He is not good at expressing himself, so he usually just does it directly.

So Qiao Xing just said it casually and didn't think much about it.

She joked with Qin Ce, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. With your temper, if you don't get along well with the child now, when she grows up, you two will have even less common topics. Don't tell me that the child doesn't get close to you then."

Qin Ce is not good at taking care of children.

Plus, he doesn't like to express himself very much. If the child is still young, it's okay, but as he grows up and becomes more thoughtful, he will think that his father must not like to get along with him for some reason.

Qin Ce looked at his daughter lying in the crib seriously, thinking about what Qiao Xing said.

He felt that what Qiao Xing said made sense. If the child really wasn't close to him when he grew up, then he would definitely not listen to what he said.

It’s okay for ordinary things, but what about bigger things, such as making friends, falling in love, or getting married and having children.

How can it work if he doesn't feel involved?

Er'er is his daughter and the only child of him and Qiao Xing.

No matter what, he would never let her suffer any injustice, and would never allow anyone with impure intentions to get close to her.

Qin Ce felt that if he wanted to prevent all this from happening, he really needed to cultivate the relationship between himself and his daughter.

After spending the entire morning with the child, Qiao Xing finally took a nap until she was sent to the baby room.

After waking up, the nurse took her to an afternoon tea restaurant specially prepared for mothers.

Qiao Xing looked at the beautifully decorated tea restaurant and was surprised.

It was the first time she knew there was such a place in the confinement center.

This is no different from those high-end tea restaurants outside, and the environment is even better than those outside.

The nurse told Qiao Xing that the existence and purpose of the confinement center is to allow mothers to get better rest after giving birth.

However, many mothers are unwilling to have a good rest even after coming to the confinement center. They are worried about leaving their children to the confinement centers and are always uneasy.

This is why the confinement center deliberately controls the time that mothers and babies spend together.

Because they don't want mothers to focus on their children all the time.

If this goes on for a long time, mothers will unconsciously become anxious and uneasy, and sometimes they think that their babies are crying at the slightest sound.

This tea restaurant is specially prepared for mothers, allowing them to come here to relax for an hour or two every day.

They can chat and talk, and here they can temporarily put aside everything about their children.

No need to worry about breastfeeding, no need to worry about your child being distressed, and no need to be anxious.

Qiao Xing felt that what the nurse said made sense.

She recalled the first day she arrived. She had nightmares and even auditory hallucinations, and she always felt that the baby was crying.

If Qin Ce hadn't been by her side, constantly comforting her, she felt that she might have become anxious or depressed.

The nurse brought snacks to Qiao Xing. When Qiao Xing was about to sit down, he found that among the many mothers, there was one person who stood out.

Qiao Xing took a closer look and found that this seemed to be the woman who was scolded by her mother-in-law in the baby's room before.

The others were sitting in groups of two, three, four or five, but she was the only one sitting alone.

Qiao Xing saw that she looked dazed, with empty eyes, and seemed to be in a very bad state.

Qiao Xing walked over, sat down next to her, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The woman seemed to be frightened by Qiao Xing's sudden appearance and her body trembled.

Qiao Xing quickly said, "Don't be afraid, I just saw that you looked unhappy, so I asked you a question."

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little too nervous..."

Qiao Xing noticed that the snacks and tea on her table were not touched at all, and she was sure that the woman was worried.

"Is it a family matter?"

The woman shook her head. "No..."

The woman seemed to be having trouble speaking, so Qiao Xing did not ask further questions. Instead, he comforted her, "If you can't say it, then don't say it."

She pushed the snacks in front of the woman and said, "When you are in a bad mood, eat more sweets, and you will feel better."

The woman looked at the snacks, was silent for a moment, and shook her head, "I don't like these..."

Although she said she didn't like it, her expression couldn't lie.

Qiao Xing suddenly remembered what the woman's mother-in-law had said to her before, and she asked, "Do you not like to eat, or do you not dare to eat?"

The woman bit her lip and lowered her head, as if her secrets had been revealed.

"My husband said that eating sweets can make you fat... When I was pregnant, my weight kept increasing. I thought it would be better after giving birth, but there was no change at all. My husband said it was because I ate too many sweets..."

After hearing her words, Qiao Xing felt it was ridiculous.

"It's normal to gain weight when you're pregnant. What does this have to do with eating sweets? It's just weight, it's not like you can't lose it. It's obvious that they're saying this to make you feel inferior."

The woman couldn't help but shed tears. "But I'm pregnant. My figure has indeed changed since then, and I can also feel that my husband doesn't like me as much as before..."

Before she had children, she loved sweet food.

When they were in love, her husband would always buy her small cakes and desserts because she loved sweet things.

Sometimes she eats too much and gains a little weight. When she complains, her husband will often be by her side to comfort her.

What he said at that time was exactly the same as what Qiao Xing said.

But now, not only did he dislike her out-of-shape figure, he also blamed it all on herself.

The more Qiao Xing listened, the angrier she became, probably because her emotions were prone to fluctuating after giving birth.

She said to the woman, "Of course he will despise you. After all, he was not the one who gave birth to the child, and he was not the one who suffered during the pregnancy. He can't understand anything, so he will naturally think that your current situation has nothing to do with him."

Qiao Xing finally understood why the woman's mother-in-law said such words to her in public.

My husband is not a good guy, so how good can my mother-in-law be?

Seeing the woman crying, Qiao Xing felt bad.

She said to the woman, "Don't cry. It's useless to cry. He won't feel sorry for you. What you need to do now is to slowly get better. Don't do it for them, but think about the child you worked so hard to give birth to."
