Capítulo 823: Chapter 824: If You Don’t Leave Now, You’ll Be Late!
And for Qin Sijue, it was also his first time seeing it.
In the past, he had only seen her belly move, but he had never seen it like today, swelling up into a large lump, as though the baby’s fist wanted to push out from her abdomen.
But soon, the swell subsided gradually.
The two stepped out of the private room and headed straight for the elevator.
Entering the elevator, Qin Si pressed the button for the first floor.
After reaching the first floor, they passed through the lobby and walked toward the restaurant’s main entrance.
“Ling Xi, if you don’t leave now, you’ll be late!”
Reminded by her colleague in this way, Ling Xi, who was still busy, suddenly remembered that she had to get back to the company for work at 1:30 PM.
Because Dizun’s lunch break was one and a half hours, Ling Xi always used this one hour to work part-time at this restaurant. Mainly because after the last incident, she was fired by Era Restaurant and had also paid a large sum in medical expenses, causing her hard-earned salary from several months to be completely lost!
Now, eating had become a problem again.
The reason she even worked at this restaurant during her lunch break was that the place would be very busy around mealtime, and if she helped out during this period, her lunch would be provided for free.
Noticing it was already 1:18 PM, Ling Xi quickly set down the tray in her hands, went into the changing room to take off her work uniform, then hurriedly ran out and towards the restaurant’s entrance!
“Tell Xiaoyun and the manager, I’m leaving first!”
“Okay, go quickly!”
Ling Xi rushed towards the restaurant entrance as fast as she could. Today, she really did forget the time, as she normally would leave the restaurant by 1:10 PM to return to Dijue Group.
She was a full eight minutes late, wondering if she could make it to the company before 1:30 PM. If the team leader found out she was late, she was sure to be reprimanded!
“Excuse me!”
At this time, the restaurant was still quite busy with customers.
Just as Ling Xi rushed to the entrance, several guests came in. Due to the urgency of the moment, she instinctively squeezed through the middle of the men.
Since all of the incoming customers were men, she squeezed by without having time to see what was ahead, and then with utmost speed, she tried to dash down the steps. However, she failed to notice Gu Qiangwei, who was about to descend the stairs.
“Excuse me!”
Just as she heard the urgent voice from behind and before she could turn around, Gu Qiangwei felt the hand that Qin Si had been holding in his palm suddenly slip away, followed by a powerful force striking her, sending her and Qin Si tumbling apart—
She had already extended one foot down to the next step, and with the sudden jolt between her and Qin Si, combined with her hand slipping from Qin Si’s palm and a misstep, she fell to the side and rolled down—
“Ahh!”
With a cry of alarm, Gu Qiangwei’s face turned pale, knowing that with this fall, the child in her belly might be gone…
Her child…
Thinking of her two most precious babies, who were due to be born in just over a month, her instinct was to reach out to grab something, anything to protect the children in her belly, but whatever she ‘caught hold’ of also ended up tilting down the stairs with her!
Falling almost into despair, as she rolled down the stairs, she saw only Qin Si’s pained, anxious eyes, burning like fire!
Feeling her hand suddenly slip from his grasp, Qin Si’s breathing hitched, and his heart felt as though it was being pierced by a thousand arrows! He tried to reach out to grab her, but because Ling Xi was in the way, he was one step too late!
