Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Inside the Beijing Ciji Monastery…

Because it was the Lanter Festival, people from all walks of life would return to normal work soon. Many people came to pray and wish for a new year of smooth-sailing in their careers.

The sky was bright. Sunlight shone through the old branches and landed on the crisscrossed red fortune slip hanging on the branches of the trees. The red light reflected off them was dazzling and breathtaking.

“Third Uncle, don’t you understand the lot?” Huai Sheng was helping to greet the pilgrims. Seeing Fu Chen holding the lot and not moving for a long time, he couldn’t help asking.

“was distracted when I was asking for the lot. I’m going to ask for another one.”

‘Okay.*

Huai Sheng had followed the Huang family back to his hometown. It had been more than three months since they last met. He had grown taller, but he had also become dark and thin. His sick older brother had left on the ninth day of the first lar month.

Although her sister had come to the capital with him, and the two elders of the Fu family had promised to sponsor her to go to school, she didn’t intend to stay in the capital.

‘The young lady was strong-minded and said that because her parents were in prison and there was only an elderly grandmother left at home, she really didn’t want to be too far away from her.

The village had helped her family become listed as an underprivileged household, so there were subsidies. The village head had also helped her contact her school. She had nine years of compulsory education and didn’t need the Fu family’s financial support at all. Fu Chen had helped her contact a student

bursary foundation. As long as she passed the review, she would have a monthly subsidy until she went to university.

‘When she came to the capital this time, in addition to sending Huai Sheng over, she also brought some specialties such as cured meat and pickled vegetables from her hometown. She split up the meat and vegetables accordingly and gave them to the monastery and the Fu family as a form of gratitude.

Fu Chen threw away the ‘poor luck’ lot and drew another one.

‘When he saw the sign, a crack appeared on his usually gentle face…

[Poor luck].

Wanwan is coming back in a few days. Will something bad happen at this time?

“Third Uncle, do you want the lot explained?” Huai Sheng asked.

“No need. There are many guests in the monastery. Let’s wait for now.” Fu Chen clenched the lot. The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, in Nanjiang…

Song Fengwan was totally flustered. She watched as the clear liquid flowed down Qiao Aiyun’s inner thigh. Is that amniotic fluid?

Although she was an adult, she was still a child and didn’t know much about childbirth. he only heard people talk about it occasionally. They said that since her water broke, it meant that she would be giving birth soon and couldn’t wait too long.

But Yan Wangchuan was at the company, and Old Madam Yan had gone out to buy groceries and also go to the flower market, so they weren’t home at this moment.

“Mom, I.” Song Fengwan didn’t dare to touch her.

“Help me lie down first and call 120.” It wasn’t the first time Qiao Aiyun had given birth, so she was still calm. She knew that her water might have broken.

Okay!” Song Fengwan helped her onto the bed and followed her instructions to put a pillow under her butt and a clean towel on it.

She dialed 120 with trembling fingers. She took a deep breath and accurately relayed her house’s address and the news that someone was about to give birth.

“Okay, the ambulance will be there soon.” The operator quickly hung up.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from downstairs…

Yan Shaochen’s!

Song Fengwan ran downstairs. “Big Brother Shaochen!”

“You’re at home? I wanted to ask why there’s no one at home. I know you’re about to start school, so I brought you something,” Yan Shaochen placed the gift box on the table.

“My mom is giving birth! What should I do..”

The Yan family servants were busy on the first floor. When they heard this, they were all frightened. A few of them had children before and rushed upstairs to help.

Yan Shaochen was dumbfounded. I’ve never given birth before. Why did you look for me?

Song Fengwan was in a panic and would ask for help from anyone she saw.

“What should we do now? Send her to the hospital or..2* Yan Shaochen went upstairs, but there was nothing he could do.

“Ive called an ambulance. It should be here soon.”

“Don’t touch Madam. Wait for the ambulance to arrive.” A few servants chimed in.

The ambulance arrived relatively quickly, arriving at the Yan residence in around six minutes. After asking about Qiao Aiyun’s specific situation, they carried her onto a stretcher. Once in the ambulance, she stayed in a lying posture with her hips raised.

Song Fengwan got into the ambulance right after. Only then did she think of calling Yan Wangchuan.

At this moment, Yan Wangchuan was having a meeting to discuss the company’s work direction and arrangements for the new year.

Yan Wangchuan held a white porcelain teacup with his fingers and drank hot tea while listening to the discussion. His phone suddenly vibrated rapidly, and the meeting room instantly became silent. No one spoke.

It was a big taboo not to turn off your phone in a meeting. Everyone subconsciously checked their phones. When they looked up, they saw Yan Wangchuan answer his phone. “Sorry, it’s my daughter.”

Everyone looked at each other. Song Fengwan had interned at the company for a period of time. At the time, Yan Wangchuan was the most gentle…

Many people in the company had been with the Yan family all their lives. They had even seen Yan Wangchuan, who had few expressions, eat egg tarts and drink bubble tea. He had looked too down-to-earth.

He wasn’t good at expressing himself, but everyone could tell that he was very indulgent with Song Fengwan and doted on her.

“Hello.” His voice was still cold.

Song Fengwan knew the company’s working hours and schedule, so she rarely called him. Yan Wangchuan naturally answered immediately.

Everyone turned their heads and discussed. Their boss had really changed a lot after getting married. Suddenly, they heard the harsh sound of a chair scraping against the floor.

Before anyone could react, they saw their boss, who had always been calm and reserved, gulp nervously. “… Don’t be anxious. I’ll be right there. Which hospital are you going to?”

Based on the principle of proximity, the ambulance should be going to Third People’s Hospital, which was the closest to the Yan residence.

“Third People’s Hospital. We’ll be there soon. Come quickly.” Song Fengwan was so anxious that her head was covered in sweat.

“Okay.” Yan Wangchuan didn’t say a word to anyone. He went to his office to get his car key and ran to the garage.

‘When everyone heard the word hospital, they guessed that something had happened to Qiao Aiyun.

4s she giving birth?”

“Didn’t he say that the due date was in late March? President Yan even specially arranged for his next two months of work. He was preparing to accompany her in labor and her postpartum period. This is too early.”

“My wife gave birth earlier than the due date at eight months pregnant. The child is quite healthy.”

‘The group of middle-aged men in the meeting room was discussing the issue of having children enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Yan Wangchuan was driving to the hospital. He was so nervous that his back was covered in hot sweat.

Song Fengwan called Old Madam Yan. Perhaps because she was at a vegetable market or a flower market, the call didn’t connect for awhile. In the end, she called Mother Huang, who was closely following Old Madam Yan, and the two of them rushed to the hospital.

“Wanwan, don’t be nervous.” Qiao Aiyun held her daughter’s hand.

At the side, Yan Shaochen was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Song Fengwan was so anxious that her eyes were red. But she was very calm as a pregnant woman and kept comforting the two of them.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just having a child. It’ll be fine.”

Song Fengwan bit her lip. To her, her mom’s water breaking was a big deal. How could she still smile?

After arriving at the hospital, Qiao Aiyun was examined by a few doctors. At the same time, the pain became more and more obvious. It was clear that she was about to give birth.

“Twant to have a natural birth.” From her point of view, she felt that a natural birth was better than a C-section. Qiao Aiyun knew that she was old and that it was dangerous to have a natural birth, but she wanted to give it a try.

“If you give birth naturally…” Qiao Aiyun was very healthy, but the doctor was still worried that she would become weak due to her age.

“If it doesn’t work out, let’s do a C-section.”

The doctor nodded. “Are the family members here?”

Song Fengwan nodded.

“Are you an adult?” The doctor sized her up. She looked like a student.

“Yes,” she replied in a muffled voice.

It was just to explain Qiao Aiyun’s situation. Usually, when the water broke, it meant that she was about to give birth. Qiao Aiyun’s age was obvious. Moreover, giving birth wasn’t without any danger…

‘The doctor informed her of many possible situations.

Before the surgery, all the risks and surgical arrangements had to be informed in advance.

“.. Any operation is dangerous. Do you understand what I just told you?”

Song Fengwan’s mind was full of what the doctor had just said about C-sections, intraoperative bleeding, neonatal suffocation, postoperative infection…

Her face paled in fright.

“If there’s no problem, please sign this. We need to send her to the delivery room immediately.”

“L. sign?”

Song Fengwan looked at the printed informed consent form. Three parties had to sign it, and one of the columns was for family members. Yan Shaochen was a distant relative of the Yan family, so he couldn’t make the decision. Only Song Fengwan could.

She had made many decisions, but this was about her mother on the operating table. She was really confused.

“Wanwan, don’t be afraid,” Qiao Aiyun comforted her. “It’s normal for doctors to say that surgeries have risks, but these things won’t happen.”

Qiao Aiyun was in a hurry to enter the delivery room. Time waited for no one. Song Fengwan’s fingers holding the pen were trembling. After she signed, the hospital immediately started preparing for delivery.

‘When Yan Wangchuan rushed to the hospital, Qiao Aiyun was just about to enter the delivery room.

His back was completely drenched as he jogged all the way. He looked travel-worn and didn’t have any of his usual solemn and dignified appearance. “How is it?”

“Uncle Yan..” Song Fengwan almost burst into tears when she saw Yan Wangchuan. “Mom’s about to give birth.”

“Can I go in and accompany her?” Yan Wangchuan looked at the medical staff.

This was what he and Qiao Aiyun had agreed on at the start. He wanted to accompany her when she gave birth…

The doctors discussed it for a while. Considering the pregnant woman’s wishes and the actual situation, Yan Wangchuan was allowed to enter.

‘When Old Madam Yan rushed over, Qiao Aiyun had already entered the delivery room. Song Fengwan only remembered what the doctor had said about opening a few fingers and so on. Her ears were full of Qiao Aiyun’s painful and repressed cries. She was flustered.

“They went in?” Old Madam Yan was also out of breath from running.

“Yes.”

“You must have been scared. Don’t be afraid. It’s alright.” Old Madam Yan patted her shoulder and reached out to hug her.

‘The young lady’s entire body was cold.

“Don’t worry. They’ll definitely be fine.” Old Madam Yan helped her sit on a chair outside the delivery room. Yan Shaochen stood at the side with a serious expression.

The process of giving birth seemed exceptionally long. Song Fengwan couldnt sit still anymore and got up to walk around until her phone in her pocket vibrated. It was Fu Chen.

“Hello.” She took two steps to the other side with her phone.

“Are you done packing?” Fu Chen was driving Huai Sheng and his sister to the old residence. The two elders had invited them for dinner.

“Third Brother.” When Song Fengwan heard Fu Chen, her heart ached, and her eyes reddened.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Fu Chen slowed the car and leaned it aside. “Are you crying?”

“My mom is about to give birth… Her water broke at home just now… A lot flowed out..” Her voice was intermittent.

Suddenly, from the tightly closed door, there was an ear-piercing scream. Song Fengwan was so frightened that she trembled. I’m hanging up now.”

Fu Chen also heard the tragic scream, and his head was buzzing.

“Third Uncle, are you alright?” Huai Sheng was sitting at the back. He held the back of the front passenger seat and turned his head to look at Fu Chen.

“Tm okay.” Fu Chen coughed twice. It’s just another brother-in-law or sister-in-law. What’s the big deal?

“But.” Huai Sheng bit his lip. “Your face is pale.”

Fu Chen let out a muffled laugh. After a long time, he licked his dry lips.

When he thought that a little child would hug him and call him brother-in-law soon, he felt a little broken.

‘The most heartbreaking thing was that no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he still had to prepare a congratulatory gift…

I’ll go to Nanjiang to congratulate them in person!

He lowered his head and typed a message to reassure Song Fengwan, saying that her mom would definitely deliver safely and smoothly.

At this moment, Yan Wangchuan was in the delivery room with a serious expression. There was even more sweat on his forehead and back than the pregnant woman.

The midwife was dumbfounded. ‘Sir, please encourage Madam. Don’t be silent like a statue. Cheer her up.”

‘They had agreed for Yan Wangchuan to come in because they hoped that he would make the pregnant woman feel more at ease giving birth. With a husband to encourage her, it would definitely be different. But after he came in, he actually didn’t say a word!

Yan Wangchuan gritted his teeth. He was inarticulate. In the end, under the angry glare of the doctor, he held Qiao Aiyun’s hand and said three words.

“Hang in there!”

The doctor was furious and really wanted to kick him out!
