The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 631 - 593: Very Serious?

Ji Xiaoxiao said she was going to the Gu Mansion to see Old Sir Gu.

That night, Qiao Yuxian accompanied her there.

The old man was very happy to see Ji Xiaoxiao and even let her stay for the night.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn’t dampen his enthusiasm and stayed at the East Courtyard.

The next day, Qiao Yuxian didn’t go out either and stayed at the old mansion with the old man and Ji Xiaoxiao.

In the morning, the three of them played chess for half a day.

After lunch, the old man went for a nap.

Ji Xiaoxiao planned to go back.

The aunt at the Gu Mansion had made fresh pastries that she liked. As the aunt was making more, she planned to take some home.

Ji Xiaoxiao waited in the living room.

Qiao Yuxian took a phone call in the courtyard and then came back to sit with her.

Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Go ahead if you have something to do, you don’t need to stay with me."

"It’s alright." Qiao Yuxian replied, "It’s a call from the police station in Jin City. Gu Yao is becoming uncooperative and wants to see Chen Xi."

Listening to her words, Ji Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then rolled her eyes and said, "He’s nuts. Who wants to see him!"

"I refused." Qiao Yuxian said.

"That’s more like it." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Don’t even mention it to Chen Xi, it’ll just add to her troubles."

"Yeah." Qiao Yuxian nodded.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked around and then quietly asked: "Is the Gu Mansion much safer now?"

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian said, "Gu Shuluo is locked up, and Gu Linhai went in too. After returning from Jin City, Gu Yanjing had the mansion cleaned out, even Gu Zhengyu’s people were removed. Now they’re all the old man’s trusted aides."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded: "Whenever I used to come, Gu Yicheng always warned me repeatedly, and I never slept well here."

"How about now? Did you sleep well last night?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"It was okay." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I’m a bit particular about beds, but today I feel especially energetic, not tired at all."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Honestly, when we divorced, I never thought I’d come back to the Gu Mansion." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "At least before the baby was born, I didn’t plan to come. After all, I have nothing to do with this place anymore. If I did come, it would only be to bring the baby to see the old man. I didn’t expect to be back so soon."

Qiao Yuxian listened to her.

"I feel very conflicted." Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and said.

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Yuxian asked, "Why did you suddenly say that."

"When Gu Yicheng pestered me not to divorce, I was extremely annoyed, wished I’d never see him again." Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, "But when I saw online that Gu Linhai’s family was in trouble, I worried about him. Do you think I’m being a bit pathetic?"

"Why are you being so hard on yourself." Qiao Yuxian said.

"I’m criticizing myself." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"You’re not a person?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Ji Xiaoxiao: "........"

Seeing her speechless and disdainful expression, Qiao Yuxian chuckled, "Firstly, there was an emotional foundation for you two before. When you were together, you might not have realized how much you liked him."

Ji Xiaoxiao’s eyes softly blinked.

"Secondly, you’re now influenced by hormonal changes due to pregnancy, making your emotions unstable and thoughts abundant." Qiao Yuxian continued, "Lastly, this child is connected to Gu Yicheng. He’s inside you now, and you can most feel his presence. So it’s normal to think of Gu Yicheng."

Qiao Yuxian finished speaking and added, "Even if he’s an insignificant person, it’s normal to care a bit."

Ji Xiaoxiao remained silent.

"Many things aren’t forgotten just because you want to forget them, and some feelings don’t end just because you say they should." Qiao Yuxian commented, "Isn’t Ji Daxiaohua one who likes to act freely? Why blame yourself."

Ji Xiaoxiao was silent for a while before saying, "Right, why can’t I think about it? Why can’t I care about him a bit? If there’s a dog by the roadside, I’d care whether it has food; it’s a perfectly normal thing."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, "That’s more like it."

Ji Xiaoxiao tilted her chin to her.

They chatted for another half hour before the aunt from the Gu Mansion brought out the packed pastries.

Ji Xiaoxiao planned to leave.

Qiao Yuxian went to see her off.

Qiao Yuxian carried the pastry box and walked with her out of the front hall and through the courtyard.

"Has Grandpa Gu gotten more energetic?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian nodded.

"I think, after all, this child is a continuation of Gu Linhai’s lineage. Seeing it might give the old man some comfort." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

Qiao Yuxian walking beside her suddenly closed her eyes and frowned, then opened her eyes, her vision somewhat blurred. She blinked and said, "Take care of yourself, pay attention to your health, call me if you need."

"I know." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I’m the priority, everyone else is secondary."

Qiao Yuxian raised her hand to rub her eyes; just a few steps and her face already turned pale, her once rosy lips lost all color.

Ji Xiaoxiao walked ahead, passing the moon gate. She turned her head and noticed Qiao Yuxian hadn’t caught up.

"What’s wrong? You look awful!" Ji Xiaoxiao walked back, looking worried.

Qiao Yuxian was leaning against the moon gate.

With eyes closed, her fingers were clenched white, and sweat appeared on her forehead.

"What’s wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao supported her.

Just after asking, Qiao Yuxian’s knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground.

Ji Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold her, got scared, promptly squatted down, grabbed her arm, and said, "What’s happening to you?"

As she spoke, she urgently searched for her phone to make a call.

But the phone was in her jacket pocket, and while squatting down, the pocket folded over, making her anxious, unable to take it out despite several tries.

Qiao Yuxian knelt on the ground, eyes closed, leaning against the moon gate, wanting to say something to comfort Ji Xiaoxiao, but was too unwell to say anything.

"What’s going on?" Huang Qi happened to walk by and saw Qiao Yuxian kneeling on the ground, Ji Xiaoxiao trembling with urgency.

"Doctor Huang, she..."

Ji Xiaoxiao didn’t finish before Huang Qi squatted next to Qiao Yuxian, checking her pulse. Ji Xiaoxiao dared not speak further.

Huang Qi checked her pulse, then opened a package of disposable needles he carried with him and applied some acupuncture on Qiao Yuxian’s hand.

After a short while, Qiao Yuxian caught her breath and sat directly on the ground, leaning against the moon gate and opening her eyes.

"Oh my! Are you feeling better? What happened? You scared me to death!" Ji Xiaoxiao was so frightened her eyes were red.

"I’m fine." Qiao Yuxian said weakly.

"Does this look fine to you?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "If Doctor Huang hadn’t come, I’d be worried that soon..."

Qiao Yuxian forced a smile.

Huang Qi checked Qiao Yuxian’s pulse again, feeling both wrists, asking, "Dizzy, nauseous?"

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian weakly said, "Dark vision."

Huang Qi checked the left wrist’s pulse again, his expression somewhat serious, "You need to go to the hospital for an examination."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and seeing his expression, paused, asking, "Is it serious?"

"Needs checking." Huang Qi said, "I’ll call Mr. Gu."
