Chapter 587: Chapter 586 The grand finale: Ji Baijian, is a son
Luo Xiaolang left Yin Family’s villa.
Yin Qin, holding a little tiger, still felt quite at ease on the side.
Qin Keqin walked over and sat before Yin Qin.
Being watched by Qin Keqin made Yin Qin somewhat uneasy.
He raised his head, “Mom, say whatever you want to say. You being so ominous and staring at me is making me nervous.”
“What are you nervous about? Feeling guilty?”
“What have I got to feel guilty about!” Yin Qin claimed with an I-don’t-care look.
“You’re pretending not to care because you’re guilty about loving Luo Xiaolang, aren’t you?” Qin Keqin goaded him on purpose.
Yin Qin didn’t respond.
Anyway, he couldn’t hide it from his mother.
“I’m just curious. Why did you suddenly come to accept it?”
“Isn’t she living well?” Yin Qin muttered, “One should know when to retire.”
“I saw a piece of news the other day.” Qin Keqin suddenly changed the subject.
Yin Qin had no idea what his mother was going to say.
But he suspected nothing she could say was what he wanted to hear.
“Joe proposed to Luo Xiaolang.”
He knew he didn’t want to hear it.
But he didn’t react at all in that moment.
“One of Joe’s teammates posted a Weibo, and then the media spread it. Didn’t you see it?” Qin Keqin asked.
He didn’t see it.
But he saw a pop-up news notification.
The headline was “God Joe finally proposed to Luo Xiaolang!”
He didn’t click on it.
Qin Keqin could tell at a single glance that he clearly didn’t dare to look at it.
She asked, “Do you think Xiaolang accepted?”
“I think it’s no longer any of my business.” Yin Qin said very surely.
Since he had no connection with Xiaolang anymore, why bother with her feelings.
“Xiaolang rejected him.” Qin Keqin stated slowly.
Yin Qin tensed.
He had never considered this possibility.
Yin Qin always thought that with Luo Xiaolang’s personality, she wouldn’t choose to hurt anyone.
Especially since Joe was so kind to her, she might be moved beyond measure.
He looked unbelievingly at his mother.
“What, starting to feel hopeful again?” Qin Keqin brow raised suggestively.
Yin Qin lowered his gaze.
No.
He just got a burst of adrenaline for a second, that’s all, now it’s gone.
He forced himself to appear calm.
Qin Keqin asked, “Do you know why Xiaolang rejected him?”
Yin Qin didn’t want to know.
Nor did he dare to speculate.
He just listened quietly.
Qin Keqin didn’t want to keep any suspense either, she always felt her son had been living somewhat miserably these days and said, “Luo Xiaolang wants to win the World Championship for Joe, then get married and have children.”
So…
So what he was hoping for?
Was he hoping Luo Xiaolang would truly change her mind?
Yin Qin’s throat bobbed.
He wore a smile at the corner of his mouth, picked up the little tiger from the ground and said, “Little tiger, dad is going to take you for a bath, then we’ll go to sleep together…”
Qin Keqin just watched Yin Qin’s composed countenance.
Even with the doting smile on his mouth, no other emotions seemed to show.
Looking at Yin Qin’s retreating figure, Qin Keqin said, “Yin Qin, do you think Luo Xiaolang truly wants to win the World Championship for Joe, or is she actually hesitant about being with Joe?”
The body of Yin Qin who was holding the little tiger tensed for a moment.
He didn’t answer.
Qin Keqin said, “Sometimes I think, any lofty excuses are actually… just that, excuses.”
After saying that,
Qin Keqin walked past Yin Qin.
Yes.
She really couldn’t bear to see Luo Xiaolang become someone else’s daughter-in-law, so she had to remind Yin Qin about some things. As for who Luo Xiaolang would eventually choose, she would respect Luo Xiaolang’s decision. After all, Yin Qin did behave badly before and it’d be natural if he was not forgiven.
Yin Qin remained silent in the living room for a long time.
A very, very long time.
Not until the little tiger began to protest did Yin Qin carry him upstairs.
He gave the little tiger a bath, then made him a bottle of milk powder. After the little tiger had some milk, Yin Qin lulled him to sleep.
The little tiger fell asleep quickly.
He was sound asleep in no time.
However, Yin Qin started to suffer from insomnia.
In fact, he had been suffering from insomnia for a long time.
Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Luo Xiaolang. Her every frown, her every smile seemed deeply imprinted in his mind.
But he didn’t dare to get any closer to her.
Whenever he felt an urge to see Luo Xiaolang, he would recall the sight of her barely hanging on inside the forest and her falling off the cliff, collapsing onto the rocks, all for his sake.
It seemed like he always brought disaster upon Luo Xiaolang.
He turned over and looked at the little tiger sleeping sweetly next to him.
He said, “In this lifetime, all I need to do is to stay by you and Mom, to see you both happy, to see you both blessed…”
Indeed.
As long as Luo Xiaolang is happy, it’s all good.
He wished her a deep blessing.
The next day.
After washing and feeding the little tiger, Yin Qin left for work.
“Yin Qin.” Qin Keqin called out to Yin Qin.
Yin Qin looked at Qin Keqin, “What is it?”
“Xiaolang’s flight is at 3pm.” Qin Keqin reminded.
Yin Qin frowned.
“Nothing, just letting you know, she’s leaving at 3 pm.”
Yin Qin understood what his mother was hinting to.
He said, “Miss Qin, didn’t you not want me to bother Xiaolang? What’s with the sudden change now?”
“I’m your mother, you think I can’t tell how much you like Luo Xiaolang!” Qin Keqin said bitterly.
Yin Qin smiled, “Isn’t it my fate to like someone?”
“Yes, you deserve it.” Qin Keqin was a bit annoyed, “If Luo Xiaolang hadn’t rejected God Joe’s marriage proposal, I’d have no interest in you!”
“She rejected him to fulfill Jon’s wish, didn’t she?”
“All men are equally stupid,” Qin Keqin cursed uncontrollably.
Yin Bin, who was beside them with his son, became an innocent casualty!
Yin Qin said, “Mom, I’m off to work.”
“Go ahead, stay single for the rest of your life!”
Yin Qin left.
Being single isn’t that bad either.
He drove to Milky Way and entered his office.
Wu Meili, the secretary, followed him inside, made him a cup of coffee, placed it on his desk, then reported her agenda for the day.
“Director Yin, we have an opening ceremony for a variety show at 9:30 this morning, you’re expected to attend, it should only last about an hour. At 2pm, there’s a board meeting, expected to be an hour and a half long. Director, you’ve already missed two board meetings, you can’t miss this one. The board is very dissatisfied with you and some are suggesting dismissing you!”
Yin Qin listened nonchalantly.
Wu Meili really indeed was heartbroken.
It was unclear why the Director’s behavior kept oscillating this much.
One moment he’d be high-spirited, surprising everyone with his energy, making them take a second look at him.
Then suddenly he’d become listless, indifferent to everything.
Once Wu Meili confirmed that the Director had understood everything, she turned around and left the office.
Yin Qin just sat in his office, sipping his coffee, idly.
All he could think of were the words his mother had spoken, “Luo Xiaolang’s flight is at 3 pm.”
The 3 pm flight.
At 3 pm, she will leave with Joe.
His eyes flickered as he stared out the glass window at the entirety of Jin City.
Looking in the direction of the airport…
He wondered if after Luo Xiaolang left this time, would she return as Mrs. Joe.
He gave a slight smile.
So, it turns out he still cares, cares immensely that Luo Xiaolang would become someone else’s.
At 2 pm.
Yin Qin was sitting in the boardroom.
Before the meeting started, the board members were busy condemning Yin Qin for being irresponsible. Not only did he often fail to attend board meetings, but he was also often absent from the office. The board members were upset with him; in their eyes, he should be working 24/7 to make money for them.
Yin Qin didn’t retort.
He just listened to all the criticism from the board members.
The meeting had turned into a public criticism session.
Yin Qin didn’t lose his temper.
Wu Meili was so nervous that she was sweating profusely.
She was afraid that Yin Qin would suddenly explode and beat up all the old men in the room.
“A meeting like this.
Yin Qin seemed quite calm.
His cell phone suddenly lit up.
He saw a message from his mother, “Yin Qin, if you’re a man, you should fight for what you want.”
Yin Qin’s heart pounded.
Pounded fiercely.
He didn’t know why those words had such a significant impact on him.
It was as if a fire had suddenly ignited within him.
A spark of defiance.
He suddenly stood up from his seat.
Everyone watched him nervously.
Yin Qin was known for being unpredictable. Who knew what earth-shattering thing he would do this time.
All the board members watched him warily.
And then the next second.
Yin Qin suddenly rushed out of the board meeting.
The board members looked at each other.
Did they go too far? Had they upset Yin Qin too much?
Yin Qin left the Milky Way and drove crazily towards the airport.
The 3 o’clock plane, the 3 o’clock plane…
The only thought on his mind was that he had to see Luo Xiaolang. He had to see her.
He drove very fast.
And quickly reached the airport.
He didn’t even bother to lock his car. He just ran inside.
He quickly scanned the flight schedule and started running in one direction.
He was drenched in sweat.
His forehead was covered in sweat too.
He looked everywhere for Luo Xiaolang.
Maybe she had already gone through security.
Maybe she was already inside.
He was extremely tense and agitated, moving non-stop around the airport…
He thought.
In this sea of people, in such a large airport, he probably wouldn’t be able to find her.
Luo Xiaolang must have left with Joe.
He suddenly laughed.
Sometimes he wondered, what the hell was he doing now?
He felt like an idiot.
Yet he knew that despite his efforts, he wouldn’t be able to change anything.
Even if he came, Luo Xiaolang would still leave.
He turned around, ready to leave.
At that moment.
He thought he heard a voice.
Yin Qin paused.
“Yin Qin.”
Someone was calling him.
A familiar voice was calling him.
He turned around abruptly.
There stood Luo Xiaolang, holding her boarding pass, behind him.
At that moment, Yin Qin’s eyes turned red.
His eyes turned red, but he forced himself to calm down.
He really thought Luo Xiaolang had already gone through.
It seemed very close to boarding time now.
He just stood there, looking at Luo Xiaolang.
Slowly.
He walked over to her.
He stared at her.
Stared at her as she was standing so close to him.
They both fell into silence.
Yin Qin was extremely anxious.
He was dripping with sweat, his fingers fidgeting restlessly. He seemed quite flustered.
His breathing was heavy, and his heart was racing.
He just stared at Luo Xiaolang.
He opened his mouth as if to speak, when Joe appeared.
Joe appeared in front of Luo Xiaolang and casually draped an arm around her shoulders, “Time to check in.”
Luo Xiaolang turned to look at Joe and nodded.
Joe also noticed Yin Qin and greeted him, “What are you doing here?”
“I… I just happened to be passing by,” Yin Qin replied.
After saying that, he found it amusing himself.
Joe laughed a little but didn’t call him out.
Luo Xiaolang was looking at him too.
Yin Qin said, “Actually, I came to send you off.”
Yin Qin admitted it.
Luo Xiaolang continued to look at him.
“I’m actually an e-sports enthusiast. I used to really love playing games, and I still do. But because of my limited skills, I’ve been reluctant to play. I came mainly to cheer you on, hoping that you can bring home a world championship, and make Yanshang Country proud in the esports world. Otherwise, always being second or third best is suffocating,” Yin Qin said casually.
Joe nodded, “We will try our best.”
“Well, shouldn’t you be leaving now? Otherwise, you’ll miss your flight!” Yin Qin said, laughing cheerfully.
Joe checked the time and said, “Xiaolang, let’s go.”
Luo Xiaolang nodded.
As she nodded, she shot Yin Qin another glance.
Yin Qin waved them off cheerfully, “Good luck!”
Luo Xiaolang turned to leave.
As she started leaving,
“Luo Xiaolang,” Yin Qin suddenly called out to her.
Luo Xiaolang stopped in her tracks.
Yin Qin watched her retreating silhouette.
Joe was standing beside her, watching her too.
Only after a long while did Yin Qin say, “Xiaolaohu, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
Luo Xiaolang pursed her lips.
She reached out and hooked her arm around Joe’s.
And they walked into the boarding area.
Yin Qin stood there, watching their receding backs.
Watching them walk further and further away…
As expected,
He could only stand far back and watch her leave.
…
One month passed.
Joe’s team continued to earn victory after victory abroad.
They progressed continuously, never stopping. Their momentum was strong from the beginning!
One month later.
Song Zhizhi also started to feel changes.
As usual, she got up that morning and went to Ji Baijian’s ward.
With her big belly, she was already having a hard time walking.
The doctor said that she should give birth in a few days and advised her to take good care of herself.
But she didn’t expect that labour would start so unexpectedly.
Just when she finished visiting Ji Baijian and stood up from his bedside, she felt a warm rush of fluid coming down her legs.
She was shocked at that moment.
Who said labour wasn’t frightening, they were liars.
She had no idea what childbirth was going to be like.
She was truly frightened at that moment.
Frozen to the spot, it was a doctor passing by who noticed her strange state. He quickly called a nurse and told her that her water had broken and she needed to be taken to the labour ward immediately.
And so, Song Zhizhi was led into the labour room.
She looked around at all the unfamiliar setting, located on the birthing bed.
She felt panicked.
She was really panicking.
All the doctors and nurses in the labour room were prepared.
She just watched them working methodically.
A nurse came over and spoke to her gently, “Miss Song, relax. Soon, you’ll be able to give birth if you follow our instructions.”
Song Zhizhi nodded.
As she nodded, she said, “Can I notify my friend to come here first?”
“Of course.” The nurse smiled. “We have already notified your good friend Miss Xin Zaozao. Also your brother, Song Zhidao. I believe they can notify others. Miss Song, the most important thing for you now is to relax and focus on giving birth. You need not worry about anything else.”
“Okay,” Song Zhizhi nodded.
At this moment, she hadn’t felt the pain of contractions yet.
But once the amniotic fluid is broken, the baby must be born, otherwise the fetus can easily be oxygen-deprived.
Outside the delivery room.
Xin Zaozao ran panting to the outside of the delivery room.
So did Song Zhidao and Wei Ziming.
Xin Zaozao asked the nurse outside the delivery room anxiously,”How is the situation inside?”
“The mother was just pushed in, as her water had broken, they should be waiting for labor onset now. You all need not worry, trust our doctors, they are professionals.”
How could they possibly not be worried?
Xin Zaozao was almost scared to death the moment she received the phone call from the hospital.
Wei Ziming and Song Zhidao obviously weren’t doing any better.
Both of them were pretending to be calm but couldn’t calm down at all.
Xin Zaozao suddenly said, “I’ll make a call to Yin Qin, let Yin Qin’s mother come over, we don’t have any experience, once she comes, we’ll know what to be careful of, what to do.”
“Yes, yes.” Wei Ziming quickly nodded his head.
Xin Zaozao dialed a call to Yin Qin.
Yin Qin too was extremely excited at the moment.
He ditched work immediately, grabbed his mother and rushed to the hospital.
Qin Keqin and Yin Qin hurriedly appeared in the corridor.
At this moment, Song Zhizhi inside the delivery room had already showed evident reactions.
She started calling out from inside.
With every shout, hearts outside clenched a little.
“What’s the situation inside?” Qin Keqin asked nervously.
“It’s been over half an hour since she was taken in, the reaction has just started. The doctor said it still will take some time, asked us family members to wait patiently outside.” Xin Zaozao hurriedly answered.
“This first birth is never easy.”
“Why not opt for a cesarean delivery?” Yin Qin suggested.
The words had just left his mouth.
When Qin Keqin slapped him across the face.
Yin Qin looked innocent, “Otherwise seeing her suffer like this, wouldn’t Ji Baijian die from heartache!”
“Do you think cesarean delivery would be very easy?” Qin Keqin rolled her eyes.
Yin Qin stopped talking.
But he was truly very anxious at that moment.
Thinking about Ji Baijian’s current condition, thinking that Song Zhizhi has finally succeeded in leaving a child for Ji Baijian, if anything happens, he couldn’t dare to think!
He paced back and forth, looking very anxious.
Qin Keqin, looking annoyed on the side said, “Could you just sit still.”
Yin Qin wanted to sit still, but he couldn’t stop even for a second.
He listened to the wailing of Song Zhizhi inside, thinking of the painful ordeal Ji Baijian’s favourite wife is undergoing now, he could fully imagine how much Ji Baijian wouldn’t want to see Song Zhizhi suffer even a bit of harm, all that because of him.
Qin Keqin was actually really anxious too.
She still remembers when she delivered Yin Qin, it took a long, long time. By the end, she was almost desperate.
In such a quiet corridor.
From time to time, cries from Song Zhizhi could be heard in the corridor.
They came in waves.
Two more hours passed.
Yin Qin couldn’t sit still anymore.
He walked over to the nurse, “Could you go ask about the situation inside, if it really doesn’t work, then we’ll go for a cesarean.”
“Sir, don’t worry, our doctors are all professionals…”
“If I say go check, then go check! Let me tell you, if the life of mother or child inside is in any danger, your hospital better brace itself for a bombing!”
“…”
The nurse had no choice but to go in.
Everyone waited for quite some time outside.
The nurse came out and said, “The doctor said that given the current conditions of the expecting mother, it might still take some time. He asked the family members to be patient, the mother is very brave.”
Fucking hell.
Such an official response again.
Yin Qin was getting agitated.
Xin Zaozao stepped forward to Yin Qin, “Calm down, all this agitation of yours is not going to help.”
He knew.
But he was really afraid that something dangerous might happen to Song Zhizhi.
If something were to happen to Song Zhizhi, Ji Baijian would never wake up again in his life.
He controlled his emotions, and sullenly sat down in the corridor nearby.
Then came another long wait.
“Why hasn’t the baby been born yet!” Yin Qin couldn’t sit still again.
It had been 5 hours.
5 hours had passed, how come the baby has not been born yet.
The nurse, all on her own accord this time, did not require Yin Qin to escort her in. She walked into the room directly.
She came out after awhile to report, “The doctor says the expectant mother’s cervix is dilating slower than expected. We have administered oxytocin to expedite the birth. Try not to worry.”
“Damn it!” cursed Yin Qin.
Why was giving birth this hard!
Everyone else was also visibly anxious.
Song Zhizhi’s anguished cries continue to reverberate from the room down the corridor.
However, her voice was clearly becoming weaker.
Time ticked on, second by second.
Seven hours had now passed.
Seven hours into which Song Zhizhi’s voice had become almost inaudible.
Yin Qin was really unable to remain calm.
He shouted at the nurse, “Get me a surgeon, I want a cesarean section now! I choose cesarean section!”
The nurse was shaken by Yin Qin’s state.
She hurriedly rushed back into the room.
Yin Qin turned to everyone else, “Don’t anyone stop me. I want to get Song Zhizhi a cesarean now. To me, it’s more crucial that Ji Baijian’s wife and child survive!”
“Alright.” Wei Ziming agreed immediately.
The others nodded in agreement too.
It had been so long already.
If Song Zhizhi does not deliver soon, both she and her baby could be in danger.
A moment later.
The nurse came out.
As she emerged and saw Yin Qin’s tense face, it looked like she was on the verge of tears.
She stammered out, “The doctor says…. The doctor says…”
“Say what!” Yin Qin’s voice thundered through the hall.
That moment, everyone was made apprehensive by the nurse’s cautious demeanor.
Nothing can happen, nothing can happen!
The nurse took a deep breath, “The doctor said that they too recommended a cesarean section since the cervix hasn’t dilated after all this time and the baby might be in danger. But the mother wants to persist, she wants to persist on natural childbirth…”
“Damn it!” Yin Qin cursed once again.
Just how stubborn was this woman, Song Zhizhi.
Yin Qin’s eyes reddened slightly.
Each time he thought of Ji Baijian lying in bed or Song Zhizhi suffering inside, grief consumed him…
By this moment, Xin Zaozao too couldn’t sit idly by. She approached the nurse, her demeanor gentle compared to Yin Qin’s agitation, “Can you please go and tell the expectant mother, if she truly can’t persevere, she must choose the cesarean section. Many people are waiting for her and her baby’s safe arrival.”
“Of course, of course.” the nurse hurriedly replied.
Once again, the corridor fell silent.
Half an hour passed.
Qin Keqin couldn’t bear it anymore.
Setting aside how the baby was doing, the mother has been in labor for over seven hours. The pain of that endurance is beyond description. She could no longer bear to watch and turned to Yin Qin, determined, “Ignore Song Zhizhi’s protests. Call the anesthesiologist, discuss the details for a cesarean. Regardless of what Song Zhizhi wants, we need to arrange for her to have a cesarean now. I’ll be responsible for all consequences!”
“Way to go, Ms Qin!” Yin Qin gave her the thumbs up.
Qin Keqin ignored Yin Qin, updating the nurse about the situation instead.
To her, she already regarded Song Zhizhi as one of her own.
The anesthesiologist quickly arrived in the hallway.
After getting a brief on the situation, he promptly entered the delivery room.
The people outside, fraught with worry, waited.
Quite some time passed.
A nurse suddenly walked up to Yin Qin.
Yin Qin was taken aback.
The next second, he swiftly followed the nurse away.
As everyone’s attention was fixated on Song Zhizhi’s delivery, no one noticed Yin Qin’s abrupt disappearance.
The anesthesiologist came out of the room.
Qin Keqin enquired about the situation inside.
“The expectant mother wants to persevere a bit longer,” said the anesthesiologist, “She insists she can deliver the baby safely.”
Qin Keqin’s eyes also welled up with tears.
“Madam, in my opinion, it’s best to respect the expectant mother’s decision at this moment. She is very strong and I urge you all to be strong as well. If it really becomes a perilous situation, I believe our doctors will ensure the best mode of delivery.”
Qin Keqin, hesitantly, nodded in agreement.
Never had she imagined that Song Zhizhi was such a strong woman.
In the end.
Without resiliency, how could one have endured such hardships and survived alone?
Her heart ached for Song Zhizhi.
It really, really did.
Once again, the corridor fell into silence.
Listening quietly as Song Zhizhi’s cries grew weaker and weaker.
In the delivery room.
The doctor looked at Song Zhizhi, who was completely exhausted. She suggested, “Miss Song, it’s been eight hours now, but your cervix is only five centimeters dilated. If this continues, both you and the baby are in danger. We should opt for a cesarean section. Don’t worry, a baby born by cesarean is just as healthy.”
Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.
Tears streamed down her face.
She really wanted to deliver her child herself.
She wanted to go through this first hurdle of life with her baby…
But at this moment.
At this moment, she had to give up.
Seeing Song Zhizhi’s agreement, the doctor began to prepare for the cesarean section.
Song Zhizhi’s stomach still hurt in waves.
But she gritted her teeth and didn’t cry out.
All she could think about was Ji Baijian. She wanted to tell him that she had given birth safely, that she was a strong mother. She longed for Ji Baijian’s praise…
She swallowed.
Baby, stay with Mommy. Can we try a little harder? Soon, Mommy can take you to see Daddy…
Baby, let’s try our best together, okay?
Baby…
“Ah…” Song Zhizhi suddenly cried out.
This cry stunned the doctor who was preparing for the cesarean operation.
She hurried over, anxiously asking, “What’s wrong?”
“I think, I can try… ah…” Song Zhizhi’s stomach hurt terribly.
For a moment, it felt like her whole body was being torn apart.
At that moment, the doctor noticed her cervix.
She said, “Your cervix is dilating again. Let’s try again…”
“Ah…” Song Zhizhi screamed.
The pain was so intense that she couldn’t speak.
She clutched the blanket next to her, her body trembling in agony.
Outside in the hallway.
Song Zhizhi’s sudden scream startled everyone.
Xin Zaozao asked nervously, “Didn’t they say Song Zhizhi agreed to the cesarean section? Why is she screaming again?”
The nurse replied, “Miss, don’t get too worked up, I’ll go check on the situation.”
The people outside couldn’t calm down.
And this time, the nurse didn’t come back out, adding to their anxiety.
In the hallway, Song Zhizhi’s screams were constant.
They were no longer the weak cries she had made earlier, but now were clearly strained with effort.
She was trying hard.
Everyone was on edge.
No one mentioned a cesarean section again.
Because everyone knew that Song Zhizhi was still trying, still trying hard to give birth to this child…
Suddenly.
A noise sounded in the hallway.
Song Zhidao glanced behind him.
He was instantly stunned.
He stood still, staring at the man who was wheeling in from the depths of the hallway.
He couldn’t believe the scene before him.
Song Zhidao’s sudden reaction caused everyone to turn around.
As everyone turned their head, they all froze in place.
At that moment, Song Zhizhi’s screams echoed in their ears while everyone’s eyes were fixed on what was happening in front of them.
Inside the delivery room.
The doctor excitedly instructed Song Zhizhi, “Push, push, we can already see the baby’s head.”
Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.
She clung to the blanket, using all her strength.
At this moment, she couldn’t feel the pain anymore due to the sheer intensity of it.
She just wanted to push the little one inside her out.
It seemed like the baby was also trying his best, pushing towards the outside.
The doctor grabbed the baby’s head.
The baby suddenly cried out: “Wah!”
Wah.
Song Zhizhi felt that at this moment, she had heard the most beautiful sound in the world.
Tears streamed down her face unabated.
People who have never been mothers couldn’t understand the joy of having a child.
The overwhelming joy.
The doctor announced, “It’s a boy, 6 jins and 3 liangs [approximately 3.15 kg in weight].”
A boy.
The son that Ji Baijian had wanted.
Song Zhizhi didn’t care about the sex of the child anymore.
As long as it was a child with Ji Baijian. As long as it was their child.
Song Zhizhi was getting stitches at this moment.
The baby was being cleaned.
After crying a few times, the baby stopped crying.
The nurse cleaned up the baby and dressed him, then brought him to Song Zhizhi.
The baby was ugly.
But at this moment, he made her feel warm.
The nurse announced, “He has double eyelids.”
Song Zhizhi gazed at her wrinkled son, watching him as he struggled to open his eyes, seemingly curious about the world.
The nurse put the baby on Song Zhizhi’s face to give him a kiss.
Song Zhizhi felt a pang in her heart.
The sensation of being a mother was so clear.
After tidying up her body, the doctor and nurses placed her on a wheelchair at the side.
“Would you like to hold him?” the nurse asked Song Zhizhi.
They worried that she might not be able to hold the baby after such a long delivery.
Song Zhizhi nodded.
The nurse placed the baby in Song Zhizhi’s arms.
Song Zhizhi held his soft body.
The baby closed his eyes, his facial expression changing slightly from time to time.
“We’ll take you back to your room now,” the nurse gently said.
Then, she wheeled Song Zhizhi out.
Outside the door.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for her.
The nurse had just come out and announced that the baby was born and both mother and child were safe.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But they were still worried without seeing Song Zhizhi.
Now, she appeared, sitting in the wheelchair holding the baby, a faint smile on her face, smiling…
Her gaze froze suddenly.
She looked ahead.
She looked at the man sitting in a wheelchair in front of her.
Looking at his thin body, still covered in tubes, yet sitting in the wheelchair, looking at her.
He was still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Red roses.
His eyes twinkled, his lips curved in a smile.
He moved his lips slightly. His voice was very low, “My lady.”
Song Zhizhi’s eyes filled with tears instantly.
She thought this was probably the most beautiful sound in the world.
The sound she could never erase from her memory in this lifetime.
She just looked at Ji Baijian.
Saw him sitting in the wheelchair, full of smiles.
Yin Qin, who was pushing Ji Baijian, was so moved by the scene before him that he couldn’t stop crying.
It seemed like everyone else was also deeply moved.
Probably nothing in this world could be more moving than this moment.
Song Zhizhi bit her lip.
She tried to control her emotions.
She said, “Ji Baijian, it’s a boy.”
Ji Baijian’s smile became more pronounced.
He nodded slightly.
He knew.
He knew they had a child.
A child of both of them…
“End of Book”
