One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 728 - 726: More Painful Than Being Stabbed

Mu Qingxin thought that Old Madam Jiang wouldn’t appear again, at least not so soon, but she saw her again the next day. She had changed into a new outfit, carrying thermal lunch boxes in both hands.

"Old Madam, you are..."

Old Madam Jiang walked over to Mu Qingxin with a cold expression, "You are carrying the Jiang family’s bloodline in your belly. I can’t just stand by and do nothing. I heard from the doctor this time that the child’s nutrition isn’t keeping up, so I brought some food today. Come on! Why are you still standing in the cold wind? It doesn’t matter if you freeze, but my grandchild must not catch a chill."

"...Old Madam, the child is still too small, we can’t tell its gender yet. It could be a little girl."

She feared they might favor boys over girls. After all, it was her child, and she couldn’t bear to see them neglected.

She thought that if they truly favor boys over girls, it would be better for the child to stay with her.

Old Madam Jiang also understood the underlying meaning of her words and laughed softly, "Don’t try any tricks with me. As long as it’s confirmed to be the Jiang family’s blood, I will treat them as a treasure, regardless of the gender."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxin felt relieved, but seeing her still standing there motionless, Old Madam Jiang said, "What, are you planning to let me stand here?"

"Oh, oh." Mu Qingxin quickly snapped back to reality, "Old Madam, please follow me! Although where I’m staying currently is a bit shabby."

"Hmph, if you think you can make me feel sorry for you, you’re mistaken—"

Mu Qingxin felt a stab in her heart, "I didn’t mean it that way."

Old Madam Jiang followed her inside and upon seeing the furnishings and the dim little place, asked, "You live here?"

"Yes, for now, just as a temporary stop." Mu Qingxin barely managed to find a place that seemed somewhat clean, "Please, Old Madam, have a seat."

Old Madam Jiang frowned deeply, "Sit, why sit? Can this place even house people? Even a dog wouldn’t want to live here!"

"Oh well, forget it. Just eat what I brought, not a morsel left, eat it all, and don’t you dare throw it up!"

Saying that, she opened the thermal lunch boxes and took out several dishes and a big bowl of black chicken soup.

Mu Qingxin hadn’t been eating much before, and now she was eating even less. If she ate all of this, she’d definitely throw up—

"Old Madam, this is really too much, I can’t eat it all."

Old Madam Jiang frowned, "This isn’t for you to eat; it’s for my precious grandchild. Eat quickly, I’ll be here watching."

"..." Mu Qingxin had no choice but to obediently start eating. The food certainly tasted good, but her stomach was only so big, and she couldn’t eat any more, "Old Madam, I really can’t eat any more."

"How much have you even eaten! Are you a cat? If you don’t eat more, how will my grandchild grow strong and healthy? Come on, eat a bit more, drink some of that soup—"

Mu Qingxin, not wanting to upset the older woman, forced herself to take a few more bites and drank some soup, "Old Madam, I really can’t eat any more, if I do I’ll throw up."

"You haven’t thrown up yet, have you? Keep eating."

Mu Qingxin gritted her teeth and swallowed a bit more, but then she choked and suddenly everything in her stomach surged up. She ran outside covering her mouth and threw up near the roots of an old tree—

Old Madam Jiang chased after her, holding tissues in her hand, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Mu Qingxin felt much better after throwing up, dazedly took the tissues, "...I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Old Madam."

"Who’s concerned about you? I’m concerned about my precious grandchild. Oh dear! You’ve thrown up all the food, how can that be? Go back in and eat some more—"

Mu Qingxin: "..."

This was more painful than being stabbed directly.
