Chapter 193 The Pain of Childbirth
An Xiaoyue held Zhong Lingxi's hand to comfort her, "It's okay, just do what you like first, Yu Bai will definitely be able to handle it."
Although she had never experienced a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, she knew from the relationship between Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhong that the person who is the son or husband is the key in such a relationship.
His attitude and way of handling things determine whether the family is harmonious.
Ji Yubai's personality is such that he can definitely appease both sides.
Ultimately, it's the young people who live their lives, so it depends on their plans.
Aunt Ji herself achieved some success in her career before having children later in life. With more communication, she should be able to understand Lingxi's feelings.
An Xiaoyue comforted her, "When the two families discuss the wedding, they should sit down together and have a good talk."
Since Ji's parents love their son, they will surely make some concessions.
“I’ve thought about it. If they insist on forcing me to have children after marriage, then I’ll date Ji Yubai for five or six years, and only get married after my career is on track and I’ve completed the initial tasks of my career plan.”
An Xiaoyue knew that Lingxi was a woman of her word.
Zhong Lingxi is a little girl who grew up being cared for by six people from two families. She also has pride, confidence, and support.
She had her reasons for making Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi's relationship work out; she didn't want them to have a bad relationship, otherwise she would feel guilty.
Now that they're facing a problem, she's thinking about solving it together.
"It doesn't need to be discussed for that long. Yu Bai is a caring person. Once the child is born, he will mainly take care of things... no problem."
As An Xiaoyue finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale, and all color drained from her eyes.
Zhong Lingxi was at a loss. She raised her hand, but then felt that touching Xiaoyue was wrong no matter where she touched her. Helplessly, she stopped in mid-air. "Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Zhong Lingxi's voice, Fu Shengyang rushed over like an arrow, "Where do you feel unwell?"
An Xiaoyue's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. As the pain struck, she couldn't make a sound.
Leng Fangyi's face darkened as she looked at the fetal heart rate on the monitor. "Contractions are coming."
"Didn't I get an epidural? Why does it still hurt so much?" Fu Shengyang lost control of his emotions, and the veins on his temples bulged.
"That's how it is." Leng Fang was witnessing the pain of a woman's uterine contractions for the first time.
For the first time, he had a concrete experience of the pain of childbirth.
My sister is in so much pain; it's heartbreaking.
After the most painful moment passed, An Xiaoyue was panting heavily, her fine hairs on her forehead were wet with sweat, and strands of them stuck to her forehead and cheeks.
She lay in bed, too weak to speak.
Those who gathered around the bed were all deeply saddened by what they saw.
Fang Mei silently wiped away her tears, not only because of Xiaoyue, but also because she was thinking of her own mother.
When she gave birth to Fang Yi, her mother's tears flowed like water from a tap that could not be stopped.
For a woman, childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell, a life for another.
As parents, how could they bear to see their child suffer like this?
Only when you raise children do you realize the love and care your parents have for you. Only through personal experience can you understand the feelings your parents had back then.
Leng Fangyi, who is usually aloof and refined and loves to joke with his mother, silently hugs his mother when he sees Fang Mei crying.
His mother experienced the same pain when she gave birth to him.
Leng Fangyi whispered in Fang Mei's ear, "Mom, thank you, I love you."
Fang Mei's defenses crumbled completely with her son's words.
Fang Mei covered her face and buried her head in Leng Fangyi's armpit. She gripped her son's clothes tightly, trying not to make a sound.
She willingly gave birth to the child and is equally grateful to the child for making her a mother and allowing her to experience a complete life.
"It's alright now." With the contractions subsiding, An Xiaoyue managed a weak smile, her lips dry.
Seeing that her bed was surrounded by people, she seemed to have gained infinite power.
She is not alone in facing this; there are so many people with her.
The contractions would only become more frequent, and Fu Shengyang didn't want everyone to worry or feel uncomfortable, so he said, "You all go out, I'll stay with Xiaoyue."
Although the group was reluctant, they still left.
No one can help with this kind of thing; the young couple can only endure it slowly.
"Mom, I'm going back to see how Dad's preparations are going? I'll bring over a set of massage equipment for my little sister."
Sheng Yang didn't allow anyone else to stay with him, so he could only use a massage device to relieve some of the pain.
Fang Mei: "Go ahead."
Ji Yubai remained quiet until he returned to the sofa, then pulled Zhong Lingxi aside and whispered, "I don't want children."
Zhong Lingxi looked at him strangely, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"It's so painful to watch, even my heart aches for you. If it were you, I probably would have fainted." Ji Yubai said, still shaken, his heart pounding wildly.
Zhong Ling was delighted to learn that his sudden remark was due to being frightened by Xiao Yue's recent contractions.
She remained unmoved. "Go talk to your parents. If they agree, I won't have the baby."
It's not that she doesn't want to have children, but rather that she doesn't want to have them so early.
In her mind, a home without children is too quiet.
There were only An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang in the delivery room.
Fu Shengyang moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, holding An Xiaoyue's fair and soft hands tightly.
An Xiaoyue: "That was the first contraction pain after the epidural. It came on rather suddenly, but I'm prepared now, so it shouldn't hurt as much."
She hadn't even recovered yet, but instead she comforted him.
Fu Shengyang's brows relaxed, and he pinched her nose, "Why are you so silly?"
An Xiaoyue pursed her lips shyly, making everyone feel anxious. The atmosphere was so heavy that she felt a little guilty.
The contractions that followed became increasingly painful, and the intervals between contractions became shorter and shorter.
An Xiaoyue no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to the people around her.
With a cold and stern face, Fu Shengyang asked the doctor, "Why is it still so painful even after the epidural?"
The doctor, intimidated by Fu Shengyang's powerful aura, forced himself to explain, "Painless doesn't mean you can't feel any pain; it just means the pain is less intense."
Fu Shengyang sat by Xiaoyue's bedside with a cold, ruthless face, unable to do anything.
A group of people sat quietly in the living room, watching the doctor come and go, and watching Leng Fangyi and Leng Yushan bring over the nourishing Chinese medicine they had prepared.
Then, the nurses began disinfecting, and the crib and resuscitation equipment were also brought in.
More and more people came and went, and the people in the living room gradually became restless.
Leng Shide glanced at his watch, his expression serious. "It's about time she gave birth."
Before the group could even get a chance to check on Xiaoyue's condition, the nurse closed the door to the delivery room.
She's really about to give birth.
The group of people immediately became restless.
"Haven't Shize and Jiaren arrived yet?" Xiaoyue is about to give birth, and the two parents haven't shown any signs of labor.
"Fang Yi went to pick him up. He just said he picked him up. He'll be here from the airport quickly and will definitely arrive before Xingyun is born."
The only small glass window on the door was also drawn shut by the nurses, so no one knew what was really going on inside the delivery room.
Everyone waited anxiously, their eyes constantly glancing at the delivery room, and getting up to walk around when they couldn't sit still.
Fu Jinyun sat on the sofa, his back straight, his face calm, but in his heart he kept silently chanting, "Mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe..."
