Chapter 867: Chapter 908: Becoming a Father Once Again

Michelle returned to the office and sat in her chair, feeling somewhat conflicted.

She had made up her mind yesterday to leave this place and never see Li Yifei again, which was why she had been so bold and proactive—to leave herself with a beautiful memory.

But now, after being stirred up by Xu Yingying, she had agreed to stay. How would she face Li Yifei in the future?

Every time she thought about the passionate kiss she shared with Li Yifei last night, Michelle’s heart couldn’t help but flutter. Without that kiss, she could have faced Li Yifei as naturally as before, but now that they had kissed, how could she be natural?

However, she had already agreed to stay and couldn’t possibly leave now. Yesterday, she had only thought about her feelings and not about the company’s situation. As Xu Yingying had said, her departure now would cause a lot of problems with the workflow in the company, which would have a significant impact.

Michelle had always seen Xu Yingying as a role model, so she was incredibly serious about her work. Now that she thought about the effects her leaving would have on the company, there was no way she could leave.

"I’m truly embarrassed now. Brother Li must have realized yesterday that I wanted to leave, which is why he agreed to my requests. Now look, I couldn’t leave and ended up with him... How am I going to face him from now on?"

Fortunately, Michelle’s dilemma didn’t last long. Once she got busy with work, she poured her heart into it. And since Li Yifei hadn’t appeared in the past couple of days, it allowed her emotions to slowly settle, though she would still be kept awake every night by the memory of their intimate moment in the snowy night and that soul-stealing kiss in the car.

At the moment, Li Yifei was in the office at the factory, holding a telephone away from his ear, but he could still hear Xiao Ling’er’s shouting from the other end.

"Li Yifei, when will you help us resolve this? The house is on fire! In half a month, the trial marriage ceremony will take place, and once that happens, neither family will back out for the sake of saving face. Are you going to wash your hands off this? Let me tell you, if you don’t help, we’re all going to say we’re carrying your child, and I’d like to see what you’d do then."

Li Yifei waited for Xiao Ling’er to finish yelling before bringing the phone back to his ear and said, "My dear little aunt, this isn’t something I can fix in a short time. I need to be fully prepared, and we still have half a month, right? There’s definitely enough time."

"You said it yourself. I’m telling you, if you really don’t help, then you’d better be ready to collect our bodies. We’ll see if we can actually go through with it."

"Yes, yes, you can definitely go through with it. But don’t be impulsive until the last moment. I’m already making arrangements."

"That’s more like it."

After hanging up, Li Yifei explained to Xu Shanshan, who was rolling her eyes at him, "They’re Mengxin’s friends. They’re being forced to marry men they don’t like, so they insisted that I help. Considering Mengxin’s face, I can’t refuse to help them."

Xu Shanshan came over to Li Yifei, her arm resting on his shoulder, and she bent down, smiling as she looked at him, "Then... why are you ’their man’? They even claim to be carrying your child. What have you done to them?"

At that moment, Xu Shanshan was wearing a professional suit, and though it was cold with a high-neck sweater underneath that revealed no cleavage, her posture was quite captivating. Given their relationship, Li Yifei couldn’t help but let his gaze wander to Xu Shanshan’s chest as he answered, "They’re just pressuring me to help. What else could I possibly have to do with them?"

"Really? That’s for the best. Let me tell you, right now, I have a lot of trouble at home to deal with. If you cause any more trouble outside, when my sister really gets angry, I won’t be able to help you."

Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, "I know, Shanshan..." As he spoke, his hands were already wrapping around Xu Shanshan’s waist.

"What are you doing?" Xu Shanshan narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Yifei, her voice soft and sweet.

"I miss you," Li Yifei said, his hands gently moving, his breath a bit heated.

Xu Shanshan glanced towards the office door and asked, "Then what do you want to do about it?"

Li Yifei promptly straightened Xu Shanshan up and whispered, "Someone’s coming."

Xu Shanshan smacked Li Yifei before twisting her body back to her own seat, followed by a knock on the door.

Having been away from the factory for some time and piled up with work after the New Year, Li Yifei really didn’t have much downtime. Just as he was getting intimate with Xu Shanshan, someone would come in, causing both Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei some frustration, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Finally, at noon, they had the chance to be affectionate for a little while, but they had to restrain themselves from going too far. If they went overboard, it would be easy for Xu Yingying to pick up on it emotionally. If Xu Yingying suffered any disgrace because of them, that would be terrible.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Yingying went on a business trip, but this time she not only traveled far but also for an extended period. Since the company’s inception, the foreign market had been prepared, and now that the overseas market had been developed for some time, Xu Yingying had to study the foreign market’s situation and discuss and exchange ideas with several partners more deeply.

As soon as Xu Yingying left, Li Yifei felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Yet, ironically, Ye Yunzhu’s due date turned out to be earlier than expected. Xu Yingying had barely been gone for a day when Ye Yunzhu started complaining of stomach pains.

Li Yifei had been worried that when Ye Yunzhu gave birth, it would cause a major conflict at home. Xu Yingying had accepted one "Little Yifei," but it did not mean she would accept the child in Ye Yunzhu’s womb. So her leaving now suddenly resolved this conflict.

Not only did Li Yifei feel relieved, but everyone at home also felt quite fortunate. At this time, it was really inappropriate to let Xu Yingying know that the child in Ye Yunzhu’s belly was Li Yifei’s.

Li Yifei was also out of his wits. Even if his comrades were shot in battle, he could handle it calmly. But this was Ye Yunzhu, carrying his own flesh and blood. She simply couldn’t calm down.

Fortunately, they had Ning Xin’er, who had given birth before. She quickly directed everyone to take Ye Yunzhu to the hospital, and to remember to bring all the baby supplies they had purchased over time, to avoid not having them when the child was born.

Once in the hospital, Ye Yunzhu was wheeled into the labor room, and the doctor handed a consent form to Li Yifei to sign.

Li Yifei glanced at the clauses and immediately felt dizzy. Giving birth was written in such terrifying terms—things like the mother dying during normal delivery, for which the hospital would not be responsible.

In fact, everyone who had signed this form knew that the hospital was just listing all possible scenarios. Even if there was the slightest chance, the hospital had to inform the family. But for family members, reading through those terms, if one didn’t have a strong heart, it could lead to despair.

Seeing Li Yifei’s trembling fingers as he signed the form, some wanted to laugh, but because Ye Yunzhu had already been wheeled into the delivery room, everyone’s mood was still very tense.

Ye Yunzhu chose natural childbirth, which was a great challenge for modern women. Many women now choose cesarean section when giving birth, which seems painful due to the incision but is actually not too painful. However, natural childbirth is a very painful process.

This was something Ye Yunzhu had decided long ago. She might only be a mother this one time in her life, so she must give birth herself. That way, her life could be more complete. If she chose cesarean section, that might remain a regret for her.

Moreover, there’s another crucial point—it’s said that children born naturally are smarter than those born by cesarean. Thus, for the sake of the child, Ye Yunzhu was willing to endure the hardship.

For a natural birth, Li Yifei, as the husband, was allowed to accompany. Hastily changing into sterile attire, Li Yifei entered the delivery room. By then, Ye Yunzhu was already lying on the delivery bed, a white cloth covering her legs, her knees up and legs apart, as she worked hard under the doctor’s guidance.

Li Yifei dashed forward, firmly grabbing Ye Yunzhu’s hand. Her hand, usually so delicate, gripped back with surprising strength.

"Honey, how are you?" Li Yifei had a thousand words in his heart, but at that moment, he couldn’t speak.

"Husband... it hurts so much!" Ye Yunzhu gritted her teeth, sweat covering her forehead.

Li Yifei felt even more distressed, but no matter how skilled he was, he couldn’t help Ye Yunzhu at this moment. He could only continue to comfort and encourage her.

"Take deep breaths, don’t tense up, we can see the head now," the doctor encouraged Ye Yunzhu.

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei’s heart leaped into his throat; this was the most critical moment.

"Push! Push! It’s coming out!" the doctor directed Ye Yunzhu.

Ye Yunzhu took a deep breath and made a final effort. But the pain was hard to bear. Childbirth is said to be one of the most painful experiences in a person’s life, topping the list, which shows how agonizing it is for women.

Suddenly, Li Yifei felt a sharp pain in his arm—Ye Yunzhu had bitten down on it. Normally, if Li Yifei’s skin was attacked, his muscles would automatically tense to protect himself, but in this case, he dared not do so. He quickly relaxed the muscles in his arm, allowing Ye Yunzhu to bite him.

Seeing how much pain Ye Yunzhu was in, Li Yifei realized he couldn’t do anything for her. So he chose to bear the pain with her, to share in this experience of becoming a parent.

And with the cry of a newborn, Ye Yunzhu finally let go of Li Yifei’s arm and took a long breath.
