Xin Zaozao was wheeled into the delivery room.
The mont she was pushed into the labor room, she suddenly turned her head.
The mont she turned her head, she just looked at Mu Cidian’s eyes staring at her, staring at her, tears welling up.
Xin Zaozao looked back.
The mont she looked back.
The tears unceremoniously rolled down.
She really didn’t know if the birth of this child could really save the lost first half of her life.
Could it really salvage her shattered love?
Mu Cidian was waiting outside the door.
He had no idea what was happening inside the delivery room.
He didn’t hear any noise.
He just sat in the corridor, sitting there stiffly.
The phone suddenly rang at this mont.
Mu Cidian looked at the incoming call, picked it up, "Song Lifei."
"Is Xin Zaozao with you?"
"She is in labor."
"So soon?" Song Lifei suddenly beca nervous that mont.
"Just entered."
"I will be right there."
"Hmmm."
Mu Cidian hung up and continued his anxious wait.
He didn’t know how long he waited.
Song Lifei arrived in a hurry.He asked, "How is it?"
"I don’t know, she’s still in there."
"Why did it suddenly happen?"
"She had indications yesterday. The pain started today."
"It should be alright," Song Lifei asked.
Mu Cidian just looked at Song Lifei.
"What I an is, it will definitely be okay," Song Lifei quickly corrected.
He felt that Mu Cidian was really extrely tense.
Both n waited at the door of the maternity ward.
hours passed.
No response inside.
hours passed.
They heard so faint noises, Xin Zaozao’s cries.
Mu Cidian was not calm anymore.
He began pacing up and down the corridor.
Song Lifei was also not very calm.
He went to the smoking area for a few puffs.
hours passed.
Xin Zaozao’s cries were getting clearer.
Mu Cidian stood motionless at the door of the delivery room.
hours passed.
Curiously, Xin Zaozao’s voice disappeared.
Mu Cidian stared blankly at the entrance.
He was clearly startled by the sudden disappearance of the noise.
The nurse outside hurriedly ca over to say, "It should be that she’s about to give birth. Generally, when the parturient is about to give birth, she won’t shout. It’s easier for her to leak air."
Mu Cidian’s body was stiff.
hours.
The door of the delivery room suddenly opened.
A nurse was holding a baby and walked out.
"Xin Zaozao’s family," the nurse called out.
"I am," Mu Cidian stepped forward.
"Congratulations, it’s a little princess, weighing 6 jin and 6 liang (around 3.3kg), very standard," the nurse said with a smile.
Mu Cidian looked at the little bundle of joy.
A bundle of wrinkly joy.
His heart was beating fast, it was out of control.
He asked, trying to sound calm, "How is the mother doing?"
"She’s good, just that the labor was a bit long so she’s sowhat lacking in strength. Once the doctor has cleaned her up, she will be pushed out," the nurse quickly replied.
These days, n are really more considerate towards their wives. Usually, they worry about the wife’s condition first.
"Thank you," Mu Cidian sincerely responded.
"It’s our duty," the nurse laughed, reminding, "Dad, hold her."
Mu Cidian stretched out his hands.
The nurse placed the baby into Mu Cidian’s arms.
Mu Cidian’s gaze remained on her.
Soft and tender, she was lying in his embrace.
Is this his daughter?
Is this his and Xin Zaozao’s daughter?
Do they really have a daughter?
He always fantasized about eting his daughter and holding her. Yet, this mont was far more overwhelming than he ever imagined.
He suddenly smiled and said, "I am your father."
The baby moved her little hands, with her eyes closed.
Mu Cidian suddenly got excited, said to the nurse in an agitated tone, "She understood."
The nurse couldn’t help but chuckle.
First-ti fathers are usually... a bit naive.
At this mont, Song Lifei was also beside Mu Cidian, he couldn’t help but say, "Mu Cidian, do you really think your daughter’s a genius? To understand language the mont she’s born."
Mu Cidian pressed his lips.
He turned and gave Song Lifei a glance.
Song Lifei said, "Let hold her."
Mu Cidian apparently did not want to.
"People can’t build bridges only to tear them down later," Song Lifei seed displeased.
Mu Cidian handed the baby to Song Lifei.
Song Lifei appeared genuinely bewildered.
"She’s really ugly, huh," he comnted.
Mu Cidian did not look pleased.
"She really resembles you," Song Lifei retorted.
Mu Cidian’s expression worsened.
"Ah, I didn’t an to say you’re ugly," Song Lifei quickly clarified.
Mu Cidian decided not to quarrel with him.
"I need one of you to follow to give the baby her vaccinations and do a blood draw."
"I’ll go. You stay here and wait for Xin Zaozao," Song Lifei volunteered.
Mu Cidian nodded, glancing at his daughter.
Song Lifei left with the nurse.
Mu Cidian watched them leave, his gaze once again locked on the delivery room door.
A mont passed.
A nurse pushed Xin Zaozao out in a wheelchair.
Mu Cidian moved forward.
Xin Zaozao was visibly exhausted.
"Where’s the baby?" She asked.
"The baby was taken for vaccines. She’ll be brought to the ward soon."
"Hmm." Xin Zaozao nodded.
She was really tired.
As if she had just survived a life-and-death catastrophe.
All her physical and ntal energy had been drained to the extre.
Mu Cidian took the wheelchair from the nurse and pushed Xin Zaozao back to the ward.
He gently placed Xin Zaozao on the bed.
The baby hadn’t returned yet.
Xin Zaozao lay on the bed waiting.
She was extrely tired, but she still wanted to see the baby.
She longed to see her.
Mu Cidian sensed Xin Zaozao’s mood and asked a nurse, "Could you please check when the baby will be back?"
"Okay."
Just as the nurse left, Song Lifei entered, carrying the baby and saying, "Your daughter has quite the lung power, scared to death."
Mu Cidian took his daughter into his arms.
Song Lifei looked over at Xin Zaozao, "How are you feeling?"
"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I couldn’t be better." Xin Zaozao managed a smile.
"She looks a lot like Mu Cidian." Song Lifei ntioned.
Xin Zaozao pressed her lips together.
There was an apparent displeasure.
She hadn’t even considered the possibility that the baby would take after Mu Cidian.
The mont the nurse showed her the baby after birth, she was already overwheld.
"Why are you here?" Xin Zaozao changed the subject.
"Oh, I ant to report to you on a matter, but you didn’t pick up my call. Then I called Mu Cidian and was told you were in labor, so I thought I’d accompany you," he continued.
"What’s the matter?" Xin Zaozao asked.
"It’s about so issues with the Lei Village..."
Mu Cidian ca over holding the baby, "From now on, you can report directly to on matters concerning Xin Group."
Song Lifei looked at him.
It was evident that Mu Cidian wasn’t joking around.
The baby was inconveniently sleeping with tears in her eyes. Mu Cidian was struggling to put her in the crib.
He was worried about hurting her.
"Is that so?"Song Lifei turned to Xin Zaozao for confirmation.
No," Xin Zaozao replied firmly.
"So whose instructions should I follow?" Song Lifei asked.
"What do you think?" Xin Zaozao raised her eyebrows.
"For now, I’ll listen to Mu Cidian. Your main task is to rest and recover during your confinent."
"Song Lifei..." Canton rose in Xin Zaozao’s voice.
"A woman in confinent should not raise her voice," Mu Cidian interjected, "it’s not good for your vocal cords." His attempts to put the baby in the crib were finally abandoned, eventually resigning to holding her.
Xin Zaozao glared at Mu Cidian.
Mu Cidian turned to Song Lifei, "Can you check why the confinent nurse hasn’t arrived yet? I had booked her."
"Oh."Song Lifei went out.
Seeing Song Lifei leave, Xin Zaozao addressed Mu Cidian, "Mu Cidian, don’t overstep your bounds. When did I say you could manage Xin..."
"Look at the baby," Mu Cidian interrupted, holding the baby as he walked over to Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao’s anger evaporated imdiately upon seeing the adorable baby girl in Mu Cidian’s arms, her heart warming instantly.
She looked at the sleeping baby, currently in a less flattering state.
Yet for so reason, she still couldn’t get enough of her.
All her attention was on the baby. So much so, that she fell asleep from the exhaustion while watching her.
She fell asleep leaning against the headboard.
Mu Cidian watched Xin Zaozao, breathing heavily in her sleep.
He bent down and gently pressed his lips against Xin Zaozao’s.
A light peck.
At this mont, he felt his world filled with warmth.
The warmth he hadn’t felt since his father’s death...
Until today.
He truly believed he was the happiest man in the world right now!
