Chapter 896: Chapter 896 Not Everyone Can Be So Lucky Chapter 896: Chapter 896 Not Everyone Can Be So Lucky “Your belly seems to have grown again, is the baby still behaving? I haven’t seen you put on any weight,” Ye Zhanxing put down his teacup and asked, concerned.
“Very well-behaved, my body just doesn’t gain weight easily, but I’ve actually been eating a lot,” Qin Youxuan replied with a smile, reaching out to touch her stomach.
It had only been half a month, yet her belly had grown significantly. The little one was lazy, barely moving an inch.
In the past, when Dan Hanjie liked to touch her belly, the baby would often kick it, but now that Dan Hanjie was ignoring her, even the baby seed less active.
Just the occasional stretch, and even that was gentle.
“If you’re eating that much and not gaining weight, is it because your body hasn’t recovered properly? That won’t do, I need to prepare so more tonic for you. You must build up your health first. Only with a solid foundation can your vitality improve. I see dark circles under your eyes—are you not sleeping well because the little one’s keeping you up at night?”
Ye Zhanxing asked with considerable worry.
Qin Youxuan was taken aback, biting her lip, unsure of how to respond.
Her restlessness wasn’t because of the baby, but because Dan Hanjie was giving her the cold shoulder.
However, she couldn’t possibly tell Ye Zhanxing about sothing like that.
“I’m fine, it’s probably just that I’ve been away from ho for too long and I’m missing the days back in my country,” Qin Youxuan said with a smile, but her eyes betrayed a touch of desolation.
That’s how people are when they’re helpless—they miss their family all the more.
Even though Qin Mo wasn’t her biological father, the Qin Family was where she had grown up.
Her mother was buried there…
“You’re not in a condition suitable for long-distance flights right now,” Ye Zhanxing frowned slightly, “If you really miss ho, why don’t you ask your father to co visit you? No matter how busy he is, it can’t be more important than his own daughter.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s eyes flickered slightly, but she didn’t reply, simply picking up her cup and taking a sip of water.
She wasn’t as lucky as Ye Mingi, to have a father who always put his wife and child above everything else.
She didn’t even know who her biological father was.
“Did your mother leave you anything? If you really miss ho, you could take it out and look at it.”
Ye Zhanxing, a shrewd businessman, was famous for his keen insight.
From just one glance at Qin Youxuan’s expression, he knew that her relationship with Qin Mo wasn’t close, and that Jiang Yu was probably the reason she was hosick.
“My mother left many things, but they’re all back in my ho country,” Qin Youxuan answered hesitantly.
Thinking of the items in the Jiang Family’s old house, she felt a pang of longing.
Jiang Jinchen had been taken back by the Jiang Family, and she wondered if he was all right.
She wondered if her belongings in that abandoned ancestral ho had been well preserved.
“Didn’t you bring even one item with you?”
Ye Zhanxing’s expression shifted slightly, his hand resting on his knee involuntarily tightening.
“Only one thing, but I’m not even sure if it really belonged to my mother,” Qin Youxuan set down her glass, thinking that with Ye Zhanxing’s broad knowledge, he might have seen the hairpin before, so she stood up from the sofa.
“Mr. Ye, please wait a mont, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Sure, no rush, take your ti,” Ye Zhanxing instructed calmly.
Qin Youxuan nodded, turned, and went upstairs. Shortly after, she brought down a black jewelry box from Dan Hanjie’s study and placed it on the coffee table.
“This is sothing my mother left behind, but I can’t seem to find any information about this hairpin. If it’s convenient for you, Mr. Ye, I’d like to ask for your help in looking into it.”
“…”
Ye Zhanxing’s sharp gaze swept across the jewelry box on the coffee table, and his body jolted sharply.
