Chapter 291 The Grand Finale

One year later.

Xia Yuhuan was lying on a deck chair, sunbathing, with a book covering her face.

He Xiaojie squatted down beside her and asked, "Mom, do you like your little brother more, or your little sister more?"

"They're all Mom's children, and Mom loves them all," Xia Yuhuan replied lazily.

He Xiaojie said, "If it's a younger brother, I'll play with him. If it's a younger sister, I'll protect her and let her be a little princess."

“Okay, our Xiao Jie is the best-behaved. He’s so young but already acts like a big brother.” Xia Yuhuan smiled and opened the book, looking at He Xiaojie, and said.

He Xiaojie smiled shyly upon hearing this.

Before his mother got pregnant, someone told him that his mother was pregnant and had her own child, so she didn't want him anymore.

Later, when my mother became pregnant, even more people said that.

But his mother never showed the slightest dislike for him; she was always very, very good to him.

She was even afraid he would panic and wanted to abort the child.

He believed that a mother like that would never stop loving her just because she had a younger brother or sister.

"Xiao Huan, don't just lie there all the time. Get up and walk around. It will make childbirth easier." An old voice rang out.

"Okay, sure," Xia Yuhuan replied immediately.

The person speaking was the grandfather who raised the original owner.

After finishing her work, Xia Yuhuan personally went to the countryside to bring her grandfather to the capital.

At first, Grandpa was also unwilling, but he couldn't resist her persistent pleading and came anyway. Now he lives with them in the Chi family's villa.

Anyway, the Chi family home is big enough that it doesn't feel crowded with one more person living there.

"Xiao Huan, come on, have some. I just tried it, it's so sweet." Xia Qingqing brought out a plate of fruit and said with a smile.

Xia Qingqing only fully recovered six months ago.

After recognizing Xia Yuhuan, Xia Qingqing doted on her to the core.

She decided not to return to the border, but to stay in the capital and settle down in the Xia family's old house. So she discussed with Wu Minghui and brought the children over as well.

Just then, Wu Minghui's job was transferred to Beijing, and the family was reunited there.

After Xia Yuhuan became pregnant, Xia Qingqing often came to take care of her.

"Qingqing, let Xiaohuan eat, come and help me cook, I'm too busy." Zhang Xianya called out as the mother and daughter were talking.

Xia Qingqing placed the plate on the table beside her.

"Xiao Huan, remember to eat. I'm going in to help out now."

With that, he hurried away.

Xia Yuhuan ate her fruit and watched her go into the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

After Xia Qingqing recovered, she always went to visit her. Now, the two of them have an incredibly deep friendship.

Today is the weekend, and everyone is off work, so we decided to have a family reunion dinner at the Chi family's house and have a lively time together.

Surrounded by loving family and friends, Xia Yuhuan had a very happy and fulfilling year.

Chi Yanzhou was sent to buy things, and after he returned and carried the things to the kitchen, he came to Xia Yuhuan's side.

"How was your day? Did the baby kick you?" Chi Yanzhou asked, looking down at her large belly.

"No, the children are all very well-behaved," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

That's right, she wasn't carrying one child, but two.

"That's good. If they dare to cause you any trouble in your belly, wait until they come out and I'll teach them a lesson," Chi Yanzhou said with a snort.

The two talked for a while, and then they were called to eat.

Chi Yanzhou helped Xia Yuhuan into the house for dinner.

The two sets of parents, Xia Yuhuan's grandfather, the two elders of the Chi family, along with the young couple and He Xiaojie, the whole family sat together for a meal, chatting and laughing, it was quite a lively scene.

Since Chi Ruide got into trouble a year ago, the old man has become much more well-behaved and has stopped causing trouble.

When he's not causing trouble, he's actually quite human, so people can barely accept him.

Xia Yuhuan watched as the two sets of parents chatted together, and her grandfather was also chatting with Grandpa Chi, a faint smile spreading across her eyes.

She felt very satisfied that so many people were together and that everyone got along well.

She has now left her job at the military hospital to conduct experimental research. In addition, she has written extensively on advanced technologies in the real world, which have played a crucial role in the medical and related industries.

Therefore, she now holds a very high position and can be considered a successful businesswoman.

With a successful career, a happy family, and now a pregnant woman about to give birth to a new life, Xia Yuhuan feels very content.

As she was eating, Xia Yuhuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She grabbed Chi Yanzhou's wrist.

"What's wrong? What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you," Chi Yanzhou said in a low voice.

"Ayan, pack your things, I'm about to give birth," Xia Yuhuan said calmly.

Chi Yanzhou suddenly stood up: "What? She's about to give birth?"

Xia Yuhuan was still holding his wrist and almost fell over because of his movement.

Fortunately, Chi Yanzhou caught her in time.

"Quickly, quick, go get the things, Xiao Huan is about to give birth," Zhang Xianya said immediately.

"Yanzhou, take Xiaohuan to the hospital first, we'll come with the things," Chi Shaokang said.

Chi Yanzhou immediately agreed: "Okay."

"I'll go with you, I'll help Xiao Huan," Xia Qingqing said hurriedly.

So, the group divided up their tasks and hurriedly went to the hospital to accompany Xia Yuhuan as she gave birth.

Xia Yuhuan was pregnant with twins. Although she went into labor, the delivery wasn't going to be quick.

When the contractions started and her cervix opened, Xia Yuhuan was in so much pain that she wanted to twist Chi Yanzhou's head off and use it as a football.

Chi Yanzhou could only do his best to comfort her.

Once the cervix was fully dilated, Xia Yuhuan was wheeled into the operating room.

When she couldn't bear the pain anymore, she cursed at Chi Yanzhou.

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Ahhh, I don't want to give birth anymore..."

"Chi Yanzhou, you bastard, why isn't it you who's pregnant and you who's giving birth?"

"Ah, I'm not going to give birth anymore, put it back in, boohoo..."

Xia Yuhuan gave birth to both children after almost a day of labor, until she was completely exhausted.

A boy and a girl, they are rare twins.

The children were brought out first; Xia Qingqing held one, and Zhang Xianya held the other.

Chi Yanzhou didn't even glance at the two children, and asked the nurse anxiously, "When will my wife come out?"

"It'll be quick, just wait, it'll be here soon."

As she turned around, the nurse remarked, "What a good man! He didn't even glance at the child; he was only thinking about his wife."

Soon, Xia Yuhuan was wheeled out of the delivery room.

Chi Yanzhou hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

He kissed Xia Yuhuan's still sweaty forehead.

"You've worked so hard, my wife. Let's only have this one child, and never have another one," Chi Yanzhou said with heartache.

Xia Yuhuan was exhausted and just wanted to sleep, so she mumbled a response.

Later, Chi Yanzhou kept his promise to have only one child and never let Xia Yuhuan suffer again.

He fully supports Xia Yuhuan's decision to return to work after her postpartum recovery.

He never intended to confine Xia Yuhuan to the family.

She was capable and had ideals, so he let her fly free. No matter what, he would always be there waiting for her to fly back.

Later, Chi Yanzhou's status in the military rose higher and higher, and Xia Yuhuan was also a leading figure in the medical field.

Yet their relationship has remained as good as ever for decades.

When interviewed by reporters, the couple was asked why they had been able to remain so loving and affectionate for so many years.

Chi Yanzhou smiled faintly: "Because I have found the love of my life, I naturally want to hold her in my hands, cherish her in my heart, and pamper her. How could I bear to treat her badly?"

Xia Yuhuan was even more direct: "Because he's so good to me, so good that I can't bear not to love him."

The two walked hand in hand through life and were happy for a lifetime.
