Chapter 1682: More Serious Than Ours

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s good that it’ll take some time,” Jiang Yue said. “By then, not only would I have given birth to the child, but I would also have finished my confinement.”

She was now more than seven months pregnant.

Xue Yan looked at her especially big belly. “Your legs are getting swollen. I’ll bring a basin of water to soak your feet later.”

There was no need to worry about this. The swelling of the legs was actually due to the growth of the fetus in the third stage of pregnancy. It affects the lower limbs and causes poor blood circulation. It would be fine after giving birth. Even if the feet were soaked, although it was effective in relieving the pain, it was not very effective in the long run.

However, Jiang Yue didn’t refuse. Instead, she nodded to his help.

She had to get Xue Yan to do something so that he wouldn’t always think about politics when he had free time. Otherwise, if she was fine, he would be depressed during childbirth, thinking that she didn’t need him.

Ever since Xue Yan returned from the Imperial Capital and saw that her stomach had gotten much bigger, he became even more nervous. Now, he made sure to stick by her side almost every day.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the 24th of July. On this day, Xue Yan supported Jiang Yue back to his room to take an afternoon nap.

Because the doctor and the post-apocalyptic doctor said that she would be in labor in a few days, Xue Yan’s nervousness shot through the roof. He couldn’t sleep at night. Sometimes, he would even get up alone in the middle of the night to check on Jiang Yue’s big belly.

Ever since Jiang Yue’s belly had gotten bigger, he hadn’t cuddled her to sleep. Although he slept very well, he was also worried that he would accidentally touch Jiang Yue’s belly when he fell asleep. Therefore, although they were still sleeping on the same bed, the two of them were very far apart. Jiang Yue slept in the innermost part while he slept in the outermost part.

Jiang Yue was not willing to do this at first, but he looked too nervous and was about to go crazy. They also asked Jiang Yue to go along with him a little, saying that it was inevitable for a first-time father to do this…

Even though he knew that he was overly nervous, he was still staring at Jiang Yue’s big belly as he lay on his side on the bed.

Jiang Yue was as calm as usual. Even though he was staring at her, she was still sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue opened her eyes.

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and asked, “Is the baby coming?” He even bolted up, extremely nervous.

Jiang Yue was still very calm, but she nodded firmly. “It seems to hurt a little. It’s probably going to happen soon.”

He was so shocked that he didn’t even have time to put on his shoes. He ran out and called for someone to deliver the baby.

Liu Guixia and the others didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap. They were playing mahjong in the central room. When they heard this, they panicked and quickly boiled water. They went in with the midwife to deliver the baby.

“Get out, get out. What are you still doing here?!” Liu Guixia and Shao Youyue were pushing their son — Xue Yan — out of the room.@@novelbin@@

The moment Xue Yan called for help, he returned to the bedside to accompany Jiang Yue. He was extremely nervous and was suddenly being pushed by his mother and Imperial Mother, he didn’t want to go out.

“Get out!” Li Hehua and S Yu Hongyan also came forward to push him out of the way.

Jiang Yue’s stomach was starting to contract. There should still be some time before she gave birth. However, Xue Yan was too nervous to let go of her arm.

The other two also came to push him.

With so many people pushing him, Xue Yan had no choice but to come out and wait anxiously at the door. He wasn’t the one giving birth, but he was sweating buckets.

Xue Erfu saw this and smiled at Xue Yifu. “Look at Xue Yan. His symptoms are much more serious than ours.”
