CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157: XIAO LI REMINISCES

Qin Xiao heard the words, cooperated by lying on Xiao Li’s belly, and softly said to the baby inside: "Good baby, stay well in mommy’s belly, daddy will definitely not scare mommy again in the future, I promise!"

Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao’s profile, listening to his gentle voice, her heart softened, but thinking of the dream he mentioned, Xiao Li was at a loss for what to do?

She didn’t expect Qin Xiao would dream about a past life, she thought her rebirth was such a rare thing, no one should know.

But now Qin Xiao dreamed of the past life, would he also dream of her rebirth?

If Uncle knows that the dreams he had were real events, what would happen?

Xiao Li thought for a while but still didn’t know how to open up about her rebirth to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao said a few more words to the baby and then turned his head to see Xiao Li looking at him with a complicated expression, he asked: "What’s wrong, Nini?"

Xiao Li came back to her senses, "Nothing! Just thinking it’s a pity others can’t see this childish side of you."

Qin Xiao laughed: "What’s there to pity? This side of me can only be seen by you, it’s your exclusive privilege."

As they were chatting and laughing, the IV finished, Qin Xiao pressed the call button, and soon a nurse came to change the IV, after which the nurse left.

Xiao Li yawned lightly, she hadn’t rested well these days, and it was now late at night, she was a bit sleepy.

Qin Xiao saw Xiao Li yawn and said: "Nini, if you’re tired, go to sleep, I’ll keep an eye on the medication."

Xiao Li shook her head, "You also haven’t rested well for days, you should sleep! I’ll watch the medication myself..."

Qin Xiao shook his head with a smile, "I’m not tired, you should hurry to sleep, if you don’t rest well, the baby won’t either.

You don’t want the baby to have problems, right?

Just close your eyes and sleep obediently."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he stood up and gently kissed Xiao Li’s brow, Xiao Li obediently closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Xiao Li was really tired, and soon fell asleep.

Qin Xiao watched the IV, and when it finished, he called a nurse, and an hour later, after all of Xiao Li’s IV fluid was done, Qin Xiao was about to lie down when he noticed Xiao Li frowning, looking very pained.

Qin Xiao quickly called out, "Nini, Nini... wake up..."

Xiao Li was awakened by Qin Xiao and immediately hugged him tightly, crying out: "Uncle, why are you so foolish? What good am I?

How am I worth you treating me like this?

If you act like this, what should I do? My heart is about to break from the pain."

Xiao Li had just been dreaming too, she dreamed of the past life, she first dreamed of herself about to jump out the window, she desperately shouted on the side not to jump, but the Xiao Li in the dream still jumped.

She watched her dream self jump onto the iron plate, the sound of legs fracturing, seeing her own bones crack, fall to the ground, with her face and hands, arms cut by broken glass, her face even having deep holes punctured by glass, blood flowing continuously...

She once again felt the pain she suffered in her past life.

That wasn’t all, because she saw things she didn’t know in her past life, after Xiao Zhennan died and she was still in a coma in the hospital, Xiao Zhengfang and the others just called the funeral home to take Xiao Zhennan away and did no more.

She was discharged and wanted to visit her father, but Xiao Zhengfang and the others only decided to go to the funeral home to get Xiao Zhennan’s urn because of that, but they couldn’t get it, and ultimately they just carved words on the tomb next to Wen Lan, and buried it as a counterfeit.

In fact, it was an empty urn they buried, Xiao Li’s visits to pay respect were not even to her father’s grave, but to an empty grave.

While Qin Xiao had actually found a place for Xiao Zhennan’s ashes first, and was waiting to receive Xiao Li to take her to bury Xiao Zhennan together.

But when Qin Xiao took Xiao Li back, she was already mentally broken, Qin Xiao wanted to wait, afraid that seeing Xiao Zhennan’s ashes would push her over the edge.

After Qin Xiao had dealt with Xiao Zhengfang and the others, he was just about to tell Xiao Li about Xiao Zhennan’s ashes, when Xiao Li set the fire.

Watching her dream self set the fire, Xiao Li cursed angrily, "Xiao Li, you stupid woman, how could you end yourself for those people, you big idiot!"

When she saw Qin Xiao walk into the fire, sitting beside her, Xiao Li anxiously yelled in the dream, "Uncle, don’t! Please get out... how am I worth your love, worth dying with me!

I beg you, please, get out..."

Yet no matter how she shouted, the dream version of them couldn’t hear, Xiao Li screamed her lungs out but couldn’t change the outcome of the past life, she could only watch the reenactment of everything in front of her...

She saw herself pass out from the smoke, Qin Xiao coming close, holding her in his arms, sitting there, letting the surrounding flames consume them until finally Qin Xiao too fainted from the smoke, even as he fell, he tightly held onto Xiao Li.

Xiao Li watched it all unfold, with heartache so deep she could barely breathe, until Qin Xiao called her awake...

Qin Xiao held Xiao Li, unclear what she was saying, yet he continuously stroked her back, gently repeating, "Nini... it’s alright, it’s alright..."

Under Qin Xiao’s constant comforting, Xiao Li gradually calmed down, Qin Xiao seeing her calm, gently asked: "Nini, did you have a nightmare?"

Xiao Li nodded slightly...

Qin Xiao soothed, "Don’t be afraid; it’s just a dream."

Mentioning this, Qin Xiao thought of his own dream, some dreams indeed were frightening.

If his Nini was really like how she was in the dream, he feared he couldn’t bear it either!

Qin Xiao sighed softly, "Nini, you were so agitated just now, is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Xiao Li shook her head, "No."

Qin Xiao was not reassured, "Nini, I’ll still call the doctor to check you, just to be safe."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao released Xiao Li, pressing the bedside button to call the doctor, in no time a doctor arrived.

After hearing Qin Xiao’s explanation, the doctor conducted a fetal heart monitoring for Xiao Li, did some simple checks, and asked Xiao Li a few questions, before saying: "There is no issue with fetal heart rate, and the Young Madam feels no discomfort, so there should be no concern, Second Master need not worry.

Some events have happened recently, causing some emotional ups and downs in the Young Madam.

However, pregnant women should remain as calm as possible, such highs and lows are quite detrimental to the baby, Young Madam should relax and keep a pleasant mood."

Xiao Li nodded, "Thank you, doctor, for the reminder. I will pay attention."

The doctor also nodded, "I’ll return to my post then, do call me if any situations arise."

Qin Xiao nodded, and the doctor left.

Once the doctor had gone, Qin Xiao sat by the bed, "Do you want to sleep more?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, it’s best for the baby. Would you lie down with me?"

The hospital’s high-end ward beds were like double beds at home, large enough to comfortably fit two people.
