In the delivery room on the fifth floor of Nanjiangâs Third Peopleâs Hospital
âWhen the doctor heard Yan Wangchuanâs clumsy speech, he really wished he could kick him out. After talking to him for so long, he only said the words âhang in thereâ?
âAhââ Qiao Aiyun screamed hoarsely.
Her body was drenched.
âWork hard. Take deep breaths and hold your breath. Letâs continue.â The midwife wished she could kick Yan Wangchuan away from her. Whatâs the use of having such a husband? Why isnât he saying anything at this critical moment?
Yan Wangchuan was clumsy with his words to begin with, and this child had come so suddenly. He wasnât mentally prepared at all. He had run all the way and even ran a red light. His back was covered in cold sweat, and his mind was in a daze, so he didnât know what to say.
He usually read a lot of books and made a lot of notes, but he couldnât think of a single word at this moment.
Qiao Aiyun gripped his hand tightly, bruising the back of his hand. He didnât notice it at all and could only keep saying to her, âHang in thereâ¦â
She had originally chosen a C-section. There was no need to go through this process. Why did she start a natural birth.
He wasnât prepared.
The cries of pain inside became more and more frequent, and the people outside were anxious. Old Madam Yan kept praying in her heart.
Old man, you have to bless both mother and daughter.
Old Madam Yan wanted a granddaughter from the bottom of her heart. Even the small clothes and trinkets she usually sewed for children were mostly red.
âOld Madam, donât worry. Theyâll definitely be fine,â Mother Huang comforted. âMadamâs pregnancy check-ups were normal every time. The doctor says that sheâs healthy, and thereâs no problem with a natural birth.â
âOh, 1â¦â
Anyone would say comforting words, but even so, she was still anxious.
Song Fengwan leaned against the wall, gripping her phone tightly. Seeing Fu Chenâs message, she only replied with an emoji, not in the mood to chat with him at all.
âThey had come here at around ten in the morning. At around noon, Yan Zhile received the news and rushed over after work. Knowing that they hadnât eaten yet, she brought them some fast food.
Song Fengwan and Old Madam Yan had no appetite.
âWhen the child is born, everyone will definitely be even busier. If you donât eat, you wonât have the strength to take care of them.â
After Yan Zhile said this, the two of them barely took a few bites.
âWhy is it taking so long?â Song Fengwan had never waited for a child to be born before. She had always thought that after the mother went to the hospital, the child would come out soon. It had been more than two hours, and the screams inside were endless, but there was no good news.
âItâll definitely be fine.â Yan Zhile didnât know what to say and could only comfort her like this.
wee
Around one in the afternoon, bad news came from the delivery room.
Qiao Aiyun was starting to become weak.
Perhaps it was because of her age, but after a few hours, her stamina gradually started to run out, and even her screams became weaker.
This situation was too dangerous.
The doctor immediately suggested, âMrs. Yan, letâs perform a C-section.â
âLcan stillâ¦â Qiao Aiyun could feel that the child was about to come out, and she kept trying her best to fight for a natural birth.
Her lips were bleeding from her biting them, and her face was covered in hot sweat.
âMr. Yanâ¦â The doctor wanted Yan Wangchuan to persuade her.
âAiyun.â Yan Wangchuan was so nervous that his throat was dry, and his voice was even deeper and hoarse.
âIcan still fight for it.â Qiao Aiyun clenched her hands.
âOkay, then encourage her properly and stimulate her as much as possible so that she can use more strength.â The midwife was also nervous.
Yan Wangchuan knew that giving birth was tough, but reading it in a book and witnessing it with his own eyes were two different things. He really wanted to say that they might as well not have this child anymore.
âAiyun, take a deep breath. Hang in there.â Yan Wangchuan really didnât know what to say.
âTry one last time,â the midwife said.
In other words, if it didnât work this time, the surgery had to be carried out immediately.
Qiao Aiyun also knew that this was her last chance. She worked hard and held her breath.
âCome on. We can already see the head.â The doctor and nurses at the side were all nervous.
Qiao Aiyun seemed to use her last bit of strength, but the child was only half out. She was panting heavily, and her entire body was covered in sweat. It seemed to have exhausted all her energy.
âMrs. Yan, you have to work harder. The child is almost out.â The doctor was anxious. Halfway out meant the child was stuck there. This was even more dangerous.
At this moment, Qiao Aiyun didnât even have the strength to respond to the doctor. She just kept panting.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSir, please give her some encouragement and stimulation. Say something to stir up her emotions.â The doctor was impatient. He had never interacted with Yan Wangchuan before, and he had only heard that he spoke little. But if he didnât erupt at a time like this, it could be fatal.
Stimulate?
Something that can stir her emotions?
Although the two of them were married, Yan Wangchuan knew very well that Qiao Aiyun cared about Song Fengwan the most at this moment. During her pregnancy, she would talk about her the most and feel that she owed her.
In that case, only Wanwanâs matter can stimulate her.
âLetâs carry out the surgery. Otherwise, the child will be in danger,â the doctor proposed. Because Qiao Aiyunâs consciousness was already a little blurry, if this continued, both of them would be in danger.
Yan Wangchuan gritted his teeth.
Wanwan, I can only let you down now.
Fu Chen, donât blame me for being ruthless. If I have a choice, I donât want to say this either. Besides, if I say it, I wonât even know how Aiyun will deal with me. Iâm also taking a gamble.
Yan Wangchuan took a deep breath and whispered into Qiao Aiyunâs ear.
âAiyun, about Wanwanâ¦â His voice was dry and hoarse like sawdust. âThereâs something I havenât told you.â
âHuh?â Qiao Aiyun looked up with difficulty and glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
âSheâs been in a relationship since high school.â
Qiao Aiyun was dumbfounded. Since high school?
Her daughter was so well-behaved. Her lips trembled as she struggled to speak. âImâ¦â
Impossible.
âAnd she found someone much older than her. Someone who can be considered her uncle.â
Qiao Aiyun had a meltdown, and every last bit of strength in her body gathered. The doctor saw that her originally lax consciousness and pupils were regaining focus. He didnât know what she heard, but all the indicators of her body suddenly returned to normal.
It felt like her adrenaline was suddenly surging.
âMrs. Yan, do you still have strength?â
âYes.â At this moment, Qiao Aiyunâs mind was full of the thought of an old bastard seducing her daughter and getting into a relationship with her.
As a mother, when she knew that something had happened to her child, she would definitely be anxious. She wished she could rush out now and confront the fellow to settle the score.
She wanted to see what kind of person had seduced her daughter when she was still in high school.
If she had gotten together with her high school classmate, she would still understand. But an uncle?
Which beast is this?!
He didnât even let a child off!
She held back her anger and had the urge to kill this bastard. In one spurt.
âWah~â With the sound of a child crying, everyone outside instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
âThe child is bornâ¦â Old Madam Yanâs legs went a little weak, and her eyes instantly reddened. She didnât expect to see her grandchild in her lifetime. It was really the blessings of her ancestors.
Just now, the delivery room had suddenly turned quiet. The originally hoarse screams were already shocking enough. But then it suddenly became quiet, and it felt even more suffocating and stifling.
Song Fengwan might not know much about having children, but Old Madam Yan knew very well. Her blood pressure had immediately soared, and her head felt dizzy.
âCongratulations, Grandma.â Yan Zhile smiled and also felt relieved.
Song Fengwanâs eyes were red as she listened to the childâs cries. Only then did her cold body gradually regain a hint of warmth.
Anurse came out to inform them. âAt 2: 24 p.m., a very healthy boy. Heâs six pounds and eight ounces. Congratulations. Mother and child are safe.â
âOld Madam, itâs a boy.â Mother Huang wiped her tears. She had stayed in the Yan family her entire life and was excited at the thought that the Yan family finally had a baby.
âYes.â Old Madam Yan was very excited.
Song Fengwan frowned slightly.
Aboy?
Why isnât it a sister?
But the joy of the baby being born soon washed away this feeling.
The baby was first carried out, and soon after, Qiao Aiyun was pushed out. Old Madam Yan had already reminded Mother Huang to go back and help her make a stew to nourish her. She originally thought that since she had given birth naturally, she would definitely be tired and unconscious. But
surprisingly, her eyes and consciousness were very clear.
âAiyun, youâve worked hard.â Old Madam Yanâs heart naturally ached when she saw her pale face.
âMom.â Song Fengwan walked to the bed.
Qiao Aiyun looked at her deeply and didnât say anything.
But this look made Song Fengwan feel extremely uncomfortable. She kept feeling that something had happened. But when she saw her new brother, she didnât have time to think much about it.
âSend the mother to the ward first. You have to nourish her well,â the nurse reminded.
wee
After all, Qiao Aiyun had given birth naturally, and it was her second child, so she woke up after sleeping for a few hours.
Song Fengwan was originally returning to school the day after tomorrow. In order to see Fu Chen, she had specially brought her schedule forward two days. But now that she had a younger brother, she changed her plane ticket and planned to return on the last day of the holidays.
âWhen Qiao Aiyun woke up at night, she saw Song Fengwan lying on a small bed and bending over to play with the baby.
âThe baby was very well-behaved. He was small, fair, and tender, and his arms and legs were meaty. He blinked his little eyes and kept looking at Song Fengwan innocently.
âWhen Song Fengwan saw this, her heart melted. She pinched his little hand and couldnât help kissing him a few times.
âSo well-behavedâ¦â Song Fengwan poked his face.
âThe little fellow let her poke him however she liked. There was some saliva at the corner of his mouth, making Song Fengwan laugh.
âAiyun, youâre awake. How are you feeling?â Old Madam Yan had been keeping watch beside the bed.
âUhâ¦â Qiao Aiyunâs throat had been injured previously. Although her mouth had been moistened with some warm water, her lips were still pale, and it was difficult for her to speak.
She pointed to the side. Yan Wangchuan happened to be sitting there. He hurriedly walked over and held her hand.
Qiao Aiyun somehow had the strength to wave him away and point at the child behind him.
âShe wants to see the child. Why are you joining in the fun?â Old Madam Yan chuckled.
Song Fengwan carefully carried the little fellow over. âMom, look at him. Heâs so well-behaved and cute.â She had asked the doctor about the way to hold a baby before, but it was her first time doing it, so she was still a little unsteady.
Yan Wangchuan reached out to support her. Perhaps because the little fellow felt uncomfortable, his calf kicked slightly.
âUncle Yan, here, hold him.â Song Fengwan passed the child over.
At first, she wasnât tired from holding him. But after a long time, her arms were a little sore. It seemed like holding a child was also a physical activity.
Yan Wangchuan took the child. The childâs black eyes were shining as he stared at him without blinking. He was very well-behaved. This was his child. This feeling was very strange.
âAiyun, take a look at him.â
Qiao Aiyun had no strength, and she reached out to touch him a few times.
âThe child was in Yan Wangchuanâs arms the whole time and soon fell asleep. Song Fengwan, who had been standing at the side, suddenly saw the child smile. âMom, Little Brother smiled.â
Hmm?â
Everyone looked over. He was still sleeping peacefully. Some children would smile the moment they were born, and most of them smiled in their sleep. It was fleeting and completely unconscious.
Every move of a newborn child was magical. Soon after, everyone in the ward smelled something strange
Song Fengwan coughed twice. âUncle Yan, I think he peed.â
Yan Wangchuanâs face turned completely cold.
Everyone was in a flurry, while Yan Wangchuan took the time to go home and help Qiao Aiyun get some clothes. When he passed by a small store, he even bought a pack of cigarettes.
âWhen Qiao Aiyun was giving birth, he had exposed Song Fengwan and Fu Chenâs relationship. But now, she pretended not to know and smiled at everyone.
Yan Wangchuan lowered his head and smoked, feeling annoyed. The more she was like this, the more uneasy he felt.
Did I stimulate her too much?
wee
The Fu family, far away in the capital, also received the news.
Old Madam Yan was on good terms with the two elders of the Fu family, so she would definitely tell them about this matter.
Fu Chen was teasing Fu Xinhan with beef cubes when Old Madam Fu answered the phone. She was overjoyed. âOld man, Aiyun has given birth.â
âSheâs given birth?â Old Master Fu was surprised. âA boy or a girl?â
âA boy. Heâs six pounds, eight ounces and very healthy.â Old Madam Fu smiled. âWhat do you think we should give him for his one-month-old birthday?â
Old Master Fu was holding a yellowed copy of the Art of War. He glanced at Fu Chen, who was still teasing the dog. âThird Son, you have a brother-in-law.â
Fu Chenâs fingers tightened as he put away the beef cubes.
âWoof!â Fu Xinhan whimpered unhappily.
âYouâre already so fat, yet youâre still eating?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. His expression was gentle, but his eyes were unusually sharp, looking as if he wanted to kill a dog.
Fu Xinhan scrambled back into his nest and sat down obediently.
Fu Chen rubbed the beef cubes in his hand. Why is it a boy?
âThird Son, when the child is one month old, the Yan family will definitely have a celebration for him. You should go personally,â Old Madam Fu reminded.
âOkay,â Fu Chen replied. At this moment, he had no idea what would be waiting for him at the full moon celebration..
