Chapter 564 - 565: She was afraid, afraid of not being able to keep the child
After Qin Mobai said he was very busy, he really became busy.
Lou Xi just realized he wasn’t joking, leaving early and returning late. Several times when Lou Xi called Qin Mobai, it was Su Lin who answered, saying Qin Mobai was in a meeting.
Regarding company matters, Qin Mobai briefly mentioned to Lou Xi that he was recently taking over the Qin Family’s affairs.
He had to manage both Jia Sheng and the Qin Family, naturally becoming busy.
Even when returning home, Qin Mobai would work in the study until midnight.
Sometimes, worried about waking Lou Xi by returning to the bedroom, he would stay in the study for the night.
Qin Mobai was so busy, but Lou Xi wasn’t at ease either.
Regarding Qiao Bi’er’s exhibition, Lou Xi wanted to make it perfect and to give a flawless exhibition to her mother-in-law whom she had never met. She knew this was also Qin Mobai’s wish.
Ever since the incident at Shen Ruozhuo’s gallery, Lou Xi was cautious of Shen Ruozhuo everywhere, afraid of her causing trouble.
But everything proceeded surprisingly smoothly afterwards, though Lou Xi didn’t relax her vigilance. Only after the exhibition went smoothly could she rest assured.
The day before the exhibition, Shen Ruozhuo and the security company people came to the Qin Family to retrieve the paintings left by Qiao Bi’er, as these paintings were invaluable to Qin Mobai, so they could only be sent to the exhibition hall the day before the exhibition.
Lou Xi waited at home for them to come, watching as the security loaded the packaged paintings onto the car.
She also needed to go to the exhibition hall to oversee them load the paintings, and after inspecting the venue one last time to ensure there were no issues, she would wait for the exhibition to open the next day.
The car drove all the way to the exhibition hall, where Lou Xi watched them secure the paintings.
Perhaps due to pregnancy, Lou Xi couldn’t stand the smell inside the exhibition hall, feeling nauseous.
She hurried to the restroom, retching for a long time yet unable to vomit anything.
Then there was a sharp pain in her lower abdomen...
An ominous feeling washed over Lou Xi; she needed to call Qin Mobai and go to the hospital right away!
The pain struck so fast, sweat covered Lou Xi’s forehead!
Just as she took the phone out of her pocket, her hand weakened, and the phone fell to the ground.
The restroom door suddenly opened, and Shen Ruozhuo came in.
"What happened—" Shen Ruozhuo looked at Lou Xi in pain, a flash of concern passed over her face.
"My stomach hurts... call an ambulance..." Lou Xi felt some despair upon seeing Shen Ruozhuo, thinking this woman definitely wouldn’t help her and would watch her suffer!
Shen Ruozhuo picked up Lou Xi’s phone, "What’s the password, I’ll call an ambulance!"
"87... 1215." Lou Xi slid to the floor against the sink, her lower abdomen aching painfully.
Shen Ruozhuo smoothly unlocked the phone, a subtle smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Calling an ambulance will take too long, I’ll have someone take you to the hospital. Don’t worry, everything will be fine!" Finishing her words, Shen Ruozhuo called someone over to put Lou Xi in the car, heading straight to the hospital!
Lou Xi lost whatever consciousness she had after getting in the car; she only felt her stomach pain, the car swayed, and the sunlight was glaring.
Later, amid a noisy clamor, she was taken into the operating room.
Inside the operating room, the lights were on, flashing so that she couldn’t open her eyes.
Her stomach still hurt, like the pain of something being forcibly stripped from inside her.
She was scared, scared of not being able to keep the child, scared that Qin Mobai wasn’t by her side...
"Mo Bai..." Before closing her eyes, the name she murmured was Qin Mobai’s.
