My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Deng Qiaoni took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, and then slowly exhaled, as if to release the depression in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, looked at her toes, moved her steps lightly, as if she was stepping on cotton, and slowly walked out of the room.

The sunlight shone through the window, casting a golden veil over her. However, the warm sunlight could not dispel the paleness on her face.

"Ms. Qiao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Deng Qiaoni lowered her head slightly, her voice a little hoarse, with a hint of guilt in her tone. Her hair was a little messy, just like her complicated mood at the moment. A few strands of hair hung by her cheeks, fluttering gently in the breeze.

"Qiao Ni, don't say that. It's not your fault." Qiao Qin looked at Deng Qiao Ni with a smile and shook her head gently.

Lin Xingran looked at Deng Qiaoni, the dissatisfaction in her heart was still like an unextinguished flame, burning faintly in her heart. She frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed with complex light, showing both suspicion towards Deng Qiaoni and a hint of helplessness.

"Xiao Ran!" Qiao Qin called softly.

Lin Xingran clasped her hands to her chest, pursed her lips tightly, and tried hard to suppress her emotions. For Qiao Qin's sake, she did not lose her temper again.

In the following days, although the atmosphere in the villa was still somewhat tense, everyone seemed to tacitly agree to try to avoid further conflicts.

Deng Qiaoni taught Huo Siqian even more attentively and often appeared in Huo Siqian's room. Her eyes were full of love and expectation, as if she was looking at her own child. Her gentle and patient voice, like the gurgling of water, taught Huo Siqian's preschool education.

Lin Xingran would often come over and keep an eye on her every move, with a vigilant look in her eyes, as if she was worried about something.

As soon as the two met, the atmosphere became tense.

Lin Xingran said to Deng Qiaoni: "Don't try anything tricky. I will keep an eye on you."

Deng Qiaoni was slightly stunned, then she said calmly: "I understand, I will teach Siqian well."

That day, Huo Siqian skipped home from school as usual, with the happy smile he had at school on his face.

But not long after, when he sat at his desk preparing to study, suddenly, his little face turned red, like a ripe apple.

Huo Siqian touched his forehead with his little hand and felt it was very hot, as if it had been roasted by fire. His eyes lost their former luster and became a little blurry. His small body began to tremble slightly, like a helpless sapling in the cold wind.

“It’s…uncomfortable.”

Huo Siqian felt his head was dizzy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift it up. His breathing became rapid, his lips were cracked and slightly pale, and he made uncomfortable groans from time to time.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his wet hair stuck to his forehead. He looked very pitiful and made people feel extremely distressed.

Deng Qiaoni's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes filled with panic and worry. She immediately put down everything in her hands and anxiously sent Huo Siqian to the hospital.

After hearing the news, Qiao Qin and Huo Yan immediately rushed to the hospital.

Their figures shuttled back and forth in the hospital corridor, their footsteps hurried and anxious. Qiao Qin's eyes were full of worry and anxiety, her hands were clenched tightly together, as if she was praying for something. Although Lin Xingran still had some grudges against Deng Qiaoni, she was also worried about Huo Siqian's safety, so she went with them.

In the hospital, Deng Qiaoni stayed by Huo Siqian's bed, her eyes full of concern and heartache. Her hair was a little messy, her face looked tired, and there were faint dark circles around her eyes.

But her eyes were always fixed on Huo Siqian, as if she dared not leave for a moment. She gently held Huo Siqian's small hand, as if conveying her strength and warmth.

Seeing how dedicated Deng Qiaoni was, Qiao Qin's affection for her grew even stronger. Her eyes sparkled with emotion, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gratified smile. "Qiaoni, thank you for your hard work."

Deng Qiaoni shook her head, her eyes full of determination. "This is what I should do, Miss Qiao. Siqian is a very cute child, I hope he can get better soon."

Deng Qiaoni's voice was full of sincerity and expectation, and she prayed silently for Huo Siqian in her heart.

Although Lin Xingran still had some doubts about Deng Qiaoni, when she saw how she took care of Huo Siqian, she had to admit that she was indeed very attentive.

Lin Xingran said to Qiao Qin: "She is really attentive this time, but I still worry about her."

Qiao Qin gently patted Lin Xingran's shoulder and said, "Xiaoran, stop being prejudiced against Qiaoni."

After the doctor's treatment, Huo Siqian's condition gradually stabilized. During this period, Deng Qiaoni hardly left the hospital, and everyone saw her efforts.

When Huo Siqian finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Qin became more friendly to Deng Qiaoni. "Qiaoni, this time it's really thanks to you. You should stay here in peace from now on, and don't have those thoughts of leaving."

Qiao Qin's voice was full of sincerity and expectation.

Deng Qiaoni's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Qiao Qin gratefully and choked up, "Ms. Qiao, thank you for your trust. I will definitely repay you."

Although Lin Xingran still felt a little uncomfortable, she did not object anymore. There was a hint of helplessness and approval in her eyes, and she sighed slightly.

"Well, considering her performance this time, I won't object."

Qiao Qin smiled and said, "Xiao Ran, I'm glad you think so."

Since then, the atmosphere in the villa has gradually eased.

Deng Qiaoni still teaches Huo Siqian diligently, and Lin Xingran is no longer as hostile to her as before.

The relationship between Huo Yan and Qiao Qin became even deeper. They often appeared in the garden, holding hands, their eyes full of love, their mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.

However, the feeling in Deng Qiaoni's heart never disappeared. She knew that she could not cross the line and could only bury this feeling deep in her heart.

Whenever she saw the happy scene of Huo Yan and Qiao Qin together, a trace of bitterness would well up in her heart, but she would also silently bless them.

As the days passed, Deng Qiaoni gradually found her place in this villa. She was no longer the outsider who was suspected and excluded, and her steps became more confident.

Two days later.

Qiao Qin decided to hold a family gathering and invited some relatives and friends.

After hearing this, Deng Qiaoni actively participated in the preparations for the party. She was busy moving around the villa, holding various exquisite decorations in her hands, looking forward to contributing to the party.

"Qiao Ni, you've worked so hard today." Qiao Qin said with a smile, her eyes full of admiration and love.

Deng Qiaoni's cheeks flushed slightly and she shook her head: "It's all my responsibility."

Just then, an uninvited guest appeared in the banquet hall.
