Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Ying’er is about to Give Birth!

Last year, everyone stayed up late for New Year’s at the cottage, eventually they were all so tired that they just went to sleep in the rooms there.

But this year, due to Zhu Qianying’s special circumstances, though the cottage had floor heating, the outside wind was harsh and chilly. Given Qianying’s condition, her waters could break at any time, after which she would need to be rushed to the hospital, so it was more convenient to stay in the main house.

So, after counting down by the lake and welcoming the new year, everyone returned to the main house and went to their rooms to rest.

Perhaps it was because it was New Year’s, and the baby boy wanted to sleep with his grandparents. Mrs. Yan had been hoping for this, and she took the little fellow into their bedroom.

Zhu Qianying had returned to her bedroom and was already exhausted.

Ever since she had become pregnant, her daily routine had been forcibly adjusted by Yan Shaoqiang to that of an elderly person, and she had to be in bed before 10:30.

Having stayed up long into the night, she entered the room yawning uncontrollably, leaning on Yan Shaoqiang.

"Wife, would you like to take a warm bath before going to bed?"

In a daze, Zhu Qianying agreed. Yan Shaoqiang helped her undress and get into the warm water. When she was warm, he lifted her up, dried her off, and tucked her into bed.

In fact, as soon as her face hit the soft quilt, she fell asleep. As for when Yan Shaoqiang dressed her, and when he climbed into the bed, enclosing her in his arms, she had no recollection at all.

Zhu Qianying was awakened by a hard kick from the baby in her stomach. She woke from her sleep, vaguely feeling that this was a signal from the baby.

At this moment, her stomach seemed to hurt a bit more than usual.

She nudged Yan Shaoqiang, who was always alert even in sleep, and was therefor in heightened alert in these days. He opened his eyes immediately, looking at Zhu Qianying with love in his eyes as he kissed her forehead, "Baby, what’s wrong?"

"Husband, it seems like our little baby wants to meet us now..."

Yan Shaoqiang immediately let go of her, but his head leaned in even closer as he asked anxiously, "Are you starting to feel contractions?"

Zhu Qianying touched her stomach, she could clearly feel the baby’s fist pressing into her belly, and soon after, the pain of contractions began to come, "Yes, a little..."

Yan Shaoqiang hastily climbed out of the bed, picking up the phone beside the bed, "Uncle Hai, prepare the car immediately, Ying’er is going into labor!"

After hanging up, he quickly grabbed the loose and warm clothes he had been keeping at the bedside for this occasion, and dressed Zhu Qianying in them one by one.

Having helped her freshen up, he also quickly got himself ready. Ten minutes later, he was helping Zhu Qianying downstairs.

"Mommy, is baby sister coming out?"

The boy who had been awakened was still sleepy, but he could barely contain his excitement as he bounced over and asked cheerfully.

Zhu Qianying nodded, "It seems so..."

His eyes lit up, and he cautiously took Zhu Qianying’s other hand.

Yan Bo and his wife came to join them as well, dressed and ready. "Ying’er, are you feeling bad?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head. "Mom, it doesn’t hurt much. However, the baby keeps kicking me."

The five of them got into the car together. Yan Shaoqiang, the baby boy and Yan’s wife took turns keeping a hand on Zhu Qianying’s stomach.

"Oh my god, my sister kicked me! Mommy, my sister is so strong, doesn’t it hurt?"

This wasn’t the first time the baby boy had felt the little baby’s movements, but this time, the baby seemed to be particularly active. Judging from Zhu Qianying’s experience, it was estimated that in a few hours, everyone would be able to see the true face of the lively little baby.

On the hospital side, arrangements had already been made by Yan Shaoqiang. As such, long before the car drove into the hospital parking lot, the medical staff were already waiting with a wheelchair.

Needless to say, on such a bitterly cold night, having someone so warmly waiting for them could only be because Yan Shaoqiang’s wife was coming.

Zhu Qianying wasn’t in a lot of pain. The doctor checked her and said, "Mr. Yan, from the dilation of your wife’s cervix, it is now possible for her to get on the delivery bed."

Yan Shaoqiang seemed to have lost all of his usual calm composure today.

He grabbed the doctor’s hand and asked nervously, "Can she give birth naturally? If it’s dangerous or if it hurts too much, just do a cesarean section."

"So far, your wife’s condition is very optimistic. She should be able to give birth naturally. Moreover, I recommend, even if she has to endure a bit of pain, a natural birthing process is better, for both the mother and baby."

"But..."

Just as Yan Shaoqiang was about to say something, Zhu Qianying, who was lying in the bed, grabbed his hand.

"Let’s listen to the doctor. I’m fine, and it doesn’t hurt too much. Don’t worry, our babies are very considerate. When I gave birth to baby boy, it was also very smooth, and he didn’t cause me too much trouble!"

Zhu Qianying knew that he hated to see her in pain, so she spoke to reassure him.

However, since the car had stopped in the hospital parking lot, her contractions had started to happen frequently and were growing increasingly stronger.

Thus, although she tried to seem nonchalant, her hand, which was trembling slightly as she held onto Yan Shaoqiang’s, gave her away.

Yan Shaoqiang put his hands together, enclosing her hand tightly within his.

He looked at her steadily, his dark eyes filled with tenderness, reluctance, and intense love.

After a while, he finally relented. "Alright, I’ll listen to you! But you must promise me, as soon as you can’t bear it, say something!"

Zhu Qianying nodded solemnly!

But Yan Shaoqiang knew that she certainly wouldn’t say anything!

Unless her doctor said she had to have a cesarean section, otherwise, with her personality, even if she were in extreme pain, she would not give up the possibility of a natural birth.

Because, the doctor said, natural birth is better for the baby!

After the examination, the midwife pushed Zhu Qianying into the delivery room. Just before they entered, the baby boy, who wanted to follow Yan Shaoqiang into the delivery room, threw a tantrum. After Yan Shaoqiang whispered something in his ear, the boy reluctantly agreed, and let Yan Shaoqiang pick him up.

"Mommy, keep going!" the boy then said, kissing Zhu Qianying’s face twice.

Zhu Qianying touched his face, and forced out a weak smile, "Okay, be a good boy and wait with grandma and grandpa outside. In a while, the doctors will bring out the little baby."

The boy went back to Yan Bo and his wife’s side, looking reluctant as he watched the medical staff push Zhu Qianying into the delivery room.

Yan Shaoqiang, as her partner, was allowed to accompany her throughout the birth. He thought that he had been adequately prepared, after all, he had received first-hand advice from the Ji family brothers just a few months ago.

However, when he saw Zhu Qianying’s face recoiling from the pain, and the large droplets of sweat trickling down her agonised and pale face, his heart constricted. The suffocating sense of suffocation and helplessness made him flustered and scared.

He extended his hand and tightly clasped Zhu Qianying’s hand, which was throbbing with veins, "Baby... If it hurts, let it out..."

But even though he said that, Zhu Qianying just bit her lip and didn’t make a single sound.
