After they road around the place, Han Yizhou and Lu ngjie drove back to the Bai mansion. This ti, steward Fang nor any other servants complained about their late arrival. As long as Lu ngjie's bodyguard was by her side, steward Fang had no choice but to hold back.
Ti flew fast for both Lu ngjie and Han Yizhou. Since they were always seen together, rumors began circulating between the servants in the place. The people around them were not blind. They could see how affectionate the couple was to each other but none dared to voice their thoughts out to them.
Well, it was not like the couple was trying to hide their relationship anymore. They were tired of pretending that they were not. Besides, it was also to cause a stir on Bai Keran's side. Lu ngjie wanted to simply show others that she was shalessly cheating on her 'husband'.
Lu ngjie was almost at her 9th month and her due date was coming close. One day, after attending her scheduled check-up, while the couple was on their way out of the hospital, a familiar-looking man was seen entering through the entrance. He was wearing a long cashre coat. His almond-colored hair was styled into an ivy league haircut. He was wearing a suit with a long cashre coat on top. He was leanly built. He was a man who rarely looked anything less than brilliant.
Si Hongqi.
Just like her, Han Yizhou saw the man, causing his eyes to darken and clouded with an indescribable emotion.
Though the mont she saw him, mories began surging in her head. He was a trigger. Aside from the sudden headache, Lu ngjie felt a sudden sharp pang below. Her attention was diverted when she felt sothing wet, trickling down her legs. It was then that she realized that her water broke and that the baby was about to co out.
She turned to Han Yizhou and grabbed his arm to get his attention.
He tore his gaze from Si Hongqi who seed to notice Lu ngjie. The mont his eyes landed won't the woman, he noticed her ghastly complexion. It made him think that the cause of such a reaction was all because of seeing Si Hongqi there.
"What's wrong?" He still asked. He couldn't help but sohow wonder if seeing the man triggered more of her past mories.
"P-Peanut!" She stuttered in panic. She could feel the contraction below her.
He furrowed his brows in confusion, "peanut?" Was she having an allergic reaction from the peanut she had earlier?
"ngng?" The guy they both saw earlier was now standing in front of them.
Lu ngjie cared less about Si Hongqi's appearance. He was not what mattered most at that mont.
"Peanut…" she was trying to catch her breath but at the sa ti, she couldn't help but groan in pain.
"What's wrong? What's happening?" Si Hongqi inquired, the worried look on his face was the sa as Han Yizhou's.
"P-peanut is… Argh!" She placed her other hand on her baby bump, her face was pale and sweat was rolling down her forehead.
It was then that a nurse ca rushing towards them after receiving a tip from a certain lady. The nurse shouted in her language, "move! She's about to give birth!"
Both Han Yizhou and Si Hongqi who were able to understand her words were both stunned on the ground.
As Lu ngjie was taken, it was Han Yizhou who snapped out first from his trance, and without caring about the other guy, he went rushing to follow his wife who was being taken to the OB/gyne ward by a couple of nurses and a few doctors.
On the other hand, So Hongqi remained still, staring towards the way they took.
…
Since Han Yizhou wanted to be by Lu ngjie's side while she was in labor, he was made to wear a scrubs suit and a mask. He sat on the chair that was beside her head, his hand holding hers as screams filled the room. He felt his heart shattered in discomfort when he heard the anguish in her voice.
"You can do it, ngjie… Sweetheart, you'll be alright… I'm here," he whispered ever so gently in her ear. He never thought that her grip on his hand was strong, at the sa ti agonizing but that could never compare to the aching she was enduring that mont.
It took an hour and a half before a deafening cry filled the room. The mother was panting, looking all so weak and haggard. She loosened her grip on Han Yizhou's hand, finally giving him relief there. Aside from that, she felt her eyes were heavy but she fought the darkness just so she could have a glimpse of her son.
"You did great, ngjie. I'm proud of you. You did great." Han Yizhou was relieved when it was all over. He leaned to kiss her forehead despite having a face mask on.
Through her exhaustion, she smiled. It ant so much to her to have him by her side. Thanks to his whispering of sweet nothings, she was able to continue to have the strength in pushing out the baby inside her even if she wanted to give him and just faint from the amount of excruciating pain she was experiencing.
"Congratulation, it's a boy." One of the nurses said while holding the baby in her arms, cleaning the blood off his body while he had an ear-piercing cry.
"C-can I?" Her voice was almost a whisper but thanks to Han Yizhou's help, he spoke to the nurse about making his lover hold their child.
The mont the baby was given to her, he began calming down from his cries.
"Peanut…" Her tear-filled eyes softened as she carefully held the soft tiny baby in her arms. The infant had a few strands of black hair on his head, his eyes were closed. It was as if he knew his mother's warmth and being inside her arms was all he ever needed.
