The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

During the meal, Xiao Yichen kept picking up food for Qiao Chu. His eyes were always on Qiao Chu, full of concern and love. He kept picking up food for Qiao Chu with the chopsticks in his hand, and kept muttering, "Eat more, wife. You've lost weight recently." His voice was gentle and mellow, like the most moving music, as if it could melt people's hearts in this endless tenderness.

Qiao Chu rolled her eyes at him in reproach, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she said, "No way, I'll get fat if I eat more." Although she said this, her heart was full of sweetness. Whenever Xiao Yichen looked at her with such loving eyes, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "It's better if you're a little fatter. I like your chubby look. It's more comfortable to hug you that way." His smile was like the sun in spring, warm and bright, making Qiao Chu feel extremely warm, as if all his fatigue and worries disappeared at that moment.

The family of three sat around the dining table, laughing and talking. Chenchen ate her meal obediently, occasionally looking up at her parents, with a happy smile on her face. Her bright eyes were shining with anticipation, because her parents promised her that they would take her to the playground after dinner, and she couldn't wait to experience that world full of joy.

After finishing the meal, Qiao Chu stood up and began to clean up the dishes. At this moment, she suddenly felt a wave of discomfort. Her face gradually turned pale, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her originally relaxed expression was instantly replaced by pain.

Xiao Yichen noticed Qiao Chu's abnormality at the first time and asked nervously, "What's wrong, wife? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" His eyes were full of worry, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became serious. He immediately put down the book in his hand, walked quickly to Qiao Chu, and stretched out his hand to support her slightly trembling body.

Qiao Chu frowned and said weakly, "I've been feeling very tired and nauseous lately." There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice, and she looked listless, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Xiao Yichen frowned, and his worry grew stronger. He immediately decided, "Then let's go to the hospital for a checkup." His tone was firm and he did not hesitate, as if he was willing to do anything to make Qiao Chu get better soon.

Qiao Chu said quickly, "No, I promised Chenchen to go to the playground, how can I break my promise?" She endured the discomfort in her body, thinking that she couldn't let her child down. There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, and she was unwilling to break her promise to her child even though she was physically uncomfortable.

Xiao Yichen felt distressed when he saw her haggard appearance. He knew Qiao Chu's kindness and love for her children, but Qiao Chu's health was more important at the moment. He made a prompt decision: "I'll call Ruofei and ask her to accompany Chenchen. Don't worry, Chenchen will understand." After that, he gently held Qiao Chu's hand and gave her a comforting look, which seemed to say: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Then he turned and walked towards the study.

In the study, Chenchen was happily packing her schoolbag. The sunlight shone through the window onto her little face, reflecting her serious look. She carefully put her favorite toys into her schoolbag, imagining the scene of playing to her heart's content in the playground, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

Xiao Yichen gently pushed open the door, walked to Chenchen, squatted down, and said softly: "Chenchen, Mom is not feeling well and may not be able to accompany us to the amusement park." There was a hint of guilt and helplessness in his voice.

When Chenchen heard this, she immediately put down her schoolbag, raised her head, her eyes full of worry: "Dad, what's wrong with Mom?" Her voice was full of tension and anxiety.

Xiao Yichen explained patiently: "Mom has been feeling tired and nauseous recently, and Dad wants to take her to the hospital for a check-up." He gently stroked Chenchen's hair, trying to calm her down.

Unexpectedly, when Chenchen heard that her mother was sick, she quickly and sensibly said, "Dad, I don't want to go to the playground. I want to accompany my mother to the hospital." Her little face was full of determination, without a trace of hesitation.

Xiao Yichen touched Chenchen's head with emotion: "Chenchen is so good, but Dad has contacted Aunt Rufei to accompany you to the amusement park. Mommy will be taken care of by Dad, so you can go and have fun without worry, okay?" His eyes were full of relief and emotion.

Chenchen shook her head and said firmly, "No, I want to accompany my mother to the hospital. Mom..." Then she ran out of the study and went to the living room to find Qiao Chu. Her small figure was full of strength and determination.

In the living room, Qiao Chu was sitting on the sofa, trying to adjust herself. Chenchen ran to her side and said, "Mom, I want to go to the hospital with you and take care of you. Dad and I will go with you. Don't be afraid, Dad and I will protect you!" Although her voice was childish, it was full of power and could not be refused.

Seeing Chenchen's determined face, Qiao Chu hugged Chenchen with heartache and said, "Chenchen, Mommy is fine, don't worry. Mommy will let Aunt Rufei accompany you to the amusement park, okay?" There was a hint of weakness in her voice, but it was more of love for Chenchen.

Chenchen hugged Qiao Chu's neck tightly and said firmly: "No, Mom, I want to be with you and take care of you." Her eyes flashed with stubbornness and love.

Qiao Chu was so touched that she hugged Chenchen and kissed her little face. Her heart was filled with warmth and touching, and tears welled up in her eyes. With such a caring husband and sensible daughter, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

"Okay, then let's go to the hospital together as a family." Xiao Yichen said.

Afterwards, Xiao Yichen took Qiao Chu and Chenchen to the hospital. Along the way, Xiao Yichen held Qiao Chu's hand tightly, giving her strength and comfort. Chenchen sat beside her obediently, touching Qiao Chu's arm with her little hand from time to time, and said obediently: "Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here."

In the hospital corridor, people were coming and going, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Xiao Yichen held Qiao Chu and Chenchen's hands tightly, and his broad palms seemed like a solid fortress, conveying endless warmth and strength. He held his head high and walked firmly, completely ignoring the strange looks from his colleagues in the hospital.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed at the registration office, and the crowd was bustling and crowded. Xiao Yichen carefully protected Qiao Chu in front of him, using his body to create a small safe space for her, so that people around her would not squeeze her. Fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead, shining with crystal light under the light. However, he did not bother to raise his hand to wipe it off, and his deep eyes were focused on the front, hoping that it would be their turn soon.

"Yi Chen, wipe your sweat." Qiao Chu looked at him with concern and took out a tissue from his bag.

Xiao Yichen tilted his head slightly and gave her a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." His voice was gentle and firm, as if nothing in the world was more important than Qiao Chu's safety.

Time passed slowly in the anxious waiting, and finally the number was registered. Xiao Yichen did not dare to stop for a moment, and took Qiao Chu to the examination department to queue up. Along the way, his steps were hurried but steady. Qiao Chu led Chenchen to follow him, looking at his busy figure, his heart was full of emotion and heartache.

"Yi Chen, take a rest and don't be too tired. I'm fine." Qiao Chu said softly, with deep concern in his voice.

Xiao Yichen turned his head and gave her a gentle smile. That smile was like the spring breeze, warm and intoxicating. "I'm not tired. Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself." His eyes were full of determination and persistence, as if he could give everything for Qiao Chu and the child.

The bench outside the examination department was full of people. Xiao Yichen finally found a corner and asked Qiao Chu and Chen Chen to sit down and rest. He stood straight aside, his eyes never leaving Qiao Chu, his eyes full of concern and expectation. His hands sometimes clenched into fists, sometimes gently rubbed, and his inner tension was self-evident.

Seeing him so nervous, Qiao Chu couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. She knew that this man truly loved her and this family. "Yi Chen, come and sit for a while." Qiao Chu said again.

Xiao Yichen shook his head gently and said, "I'll just stand, you should have a good rest." His voice was steady and powerful, making people feel extremely at ease.

Director Xiao from the Internal Medicine Department accompanied her personally, and kept looking at Qiao Chu and the little girl with big eyes hiding behind her. I guess she might be Director Xiao's relative.

"Excuse me, how long have you had this symptom?" The doctor looked at her complexion and tongue coating, thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, it's been about half a month, and it happens occasionally." Qiao Chu thought about it. She was busy with Chenchen's affairs during this period. Something happened at Xiao Yichen's family and he often didn't come home. She didn't take care of herself much.

"Then... Director Xiao, I suggest that she go to Director Qin for a checkup first. If it is ruled out, I will order another checkup for her. Do you think that's okay?" The doctor said to Director Xiao carefully. This gentleman had been frowning since he came in. It was obvious that he was not very confident in them, so he followed them in to supervise.

"Director Qin?" Xiao Yichen was stunned. Director Qin was the person who took over Song Xiaoxue's position. Could it be...

Xiao Yichen thanked the internal medicine doctor and took Qiao Chu and Chenchen to Director Qin's office.

"Hey, Director Xiao? What brings you here? What are you doing..." Director Qin looked at the beautiful woman and child behind him.

"Director Qin, this is... my wife. She just had a check-up in the internal medicine department. He suggested that she come to your place first." Xiao Yichen said lightly, ignoring Director Qin's wide eyes.

"Your...lover?" Director Qin was stunned! What on earth was going on? Everyone in the hospital knew that Director Xiao and Director Song were a loving couple. Director Song had only died a few months ago due to the epidemic. This...
