Chapter 248 The Heir of the Fu Family is Born

The corridor outside the operating room of the maternity and children's hospital was brightly lit.

Madam Sheng and Madam Bai each held a swaddled baby in their arms. The two beautiful little girls were sleeping soundly, and the happiness on their faces was almost overflowing.

Bai Yu didn't even glance at the two children.

He paced nervously back and forth outside the operating room, his leather shoes almost scraping the floor until sparks flew.

Until the operating room door opened again.

"Weiwei!"

Bai Yu was the first to rush forward. Looking at the person on the gurney whose face was as pale as paper, his heart clenched.

He bent down, held her hand tightly, and kissed her forehead.

His eyes were very red.

"Weiwei, you've worked hard."

Sheng Weiwei's eyes instantly welled up with tears, her voice trembling with postpartum weakness.

"Bai Yu, I'm a mother now."

"Mmm." Bai Yu nodded emphatically, his voice hoarse beyond belief. "You're amazing. You gave birth to two beautiful little princesses, so our family now has three little fairies."

Sheng Weiwei pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

"I took a look, and it was so ugly, all wrinkled."

Bai Yu was amused by her, and the tension in his eyes finally eased a bit.

"Nonsense, all newborn babies are like that. You're so pretty, your baby will only grow more and more beautiful."

Moreover, he is very confident in his genes.

Sheng Weiwei's tears of excitement still slid down her cheeks and dripped into her pillow.

If... Zhan Xiao knew, would he be just as happy?

Bai Yu followed her on her mobile hospital bed, accompanying her all the way to the VIP ward on the top floor.

He has already applied for special care.

From now on, he will stay by her side every step of the way, as her husband, until she is discharged from the hospital.

...

Not long after, Sheng's mother sent Gu Xingnian photos of the babies via WeChat.

In the photo, two identical, exquisitely beautiful little girls are lying in a crib, so cute they melt your heart.

Looking at the smile on Gu Xingnian's face, Fu Beichen considerately said, "You should rest after lunch. We'll go visit Weiwei this afternoon."

Gu Xingnian asked again, "Qingning, is she awake?"

Fu Beichen's expression was somewhat solemn. "Not yet. Shen Yuan has been keeping watch. Don't worry, he will notify you as soon as there is any information."

"Um."

The atmosphere was completely different in another hospital.

Huo Shenyuan stayed outside the ICU the whole time.

He sat there stiffly on the cold bench, like a lifeless sculpture.

His assistant brought him a hot meal, but he didn't touch it.

I didn't even drink any water.

He waited there listlessly, his deep eyes fixed on the closed door.

We waited from day to night.

They waited from dusk till dawn.

More than 20 hours had passed, and he stubbornly refused to leave her side. He wanted to be in front of her the moment she woke up.

Before her eyes was a white expanse, the blinding sunlight making it impossible for Qingning to open her eyes.

She collapsed to the ground, her vision filled with blood red. The piercing siren of the ambulance made her eardrums ring and caused her excruciating pain.

She watched helplessly as paramedics carried her father away on a stretcher.

The person on the stretcher was covered with a white sheet.

Beneath the sheet, a large, blood-soaked hand was visible, clutching a silver badge tightly until its death.

My father was a great scientist who discovered a source of energy that could change the world.

On their way back to China, they were involved in a horrific car accident.

Her father shielded her with his body.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

She scrambled to her feet and chased after the stretcher like a madwoman.

But the person on the stretcher could no longer respond to her.

She lunged forward to grab his hand, but only managed to pry the badge, still warm from his body, from between his cold, stiff fingers.

Then, she fainted.

Later, two groups of ruthless thieves captured her and subjected her to all sorts of torture.

She didn't know how she escaped.

She dared not speak, dared not face the sunlight, like a frightened mouse, hiding in a dark and damp underground cave.

When there was nothing to eat, she drank the cold dew, and when she was extremely hungry, she would lick the slightly sweet flower stamens.

It took her a whole year to find Grandma Rongcheng's house, relying on her fragmented memories...

...

"Beep—beep beep beep beep—"

In the ICU, the equipment monitoring brainwaves suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

On the monitor, her brainwaves were like a jumbled mess, jumping wildly.

She was convulsing on the hospital bed, as if she were trapped in an invisible box, unable to break free no matter what.

The numbers on the heart rate monitor skyrocketed, jumping from 80 to 180!

"Quick! Call a doctor! The patient's condition is not right!"

The medical staff frantically pressed the emergency call button.

"ah!"

The person on the hospital bed suddenly let out a piercing scream and abruptly opened their eyes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several loud explosions followed.

In the intensive care unit, the light tube on the ceiling exploded, and the monitoring equipment shut down.

Several doctors rushed into the intensive care unit and quickly checked her vital signs.

Strangely, her breathing and pulse stabilized, but her brainwave and electrocardiogram data were completely gone.

"Miss, do you know where you are?"

Do you remember what happened?

The doctor gently coaxed her to speak.

Qingning's mind raced.

She remembered the night she was entangled with Huo Shenyuan, and the excruciating pain of being hit by a car and having all her bones shattered.

She also thought of her father's death and the days when she was tortured like a lab rat.

There was also a secret her father asked her to protect with her life.

She remembered everything.

However, she remained motionless, silently staring at the ceiling.

"Quickly, notify her family," the doctor told the nurse.

The nurse quickly opened the door and brought in the man who was almost petrified outside.

Huo Shenyuan rushed to the viewing window and looked at her through the thick glass.

He looked terribly haggard, with a stubble of dark green on his chin and bloodshot eyes.

He raised his hand and gently tapped on the glass, shouting, "Qingning! Qingning! Do you recognize me?"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed ecstasy and trembling.

Qingning slowly turned her head.

She looked at the familiar yet haggard face outside the glass, her eyes chillingly cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.

She did not respond.

Before long, Huo Shenyuan was taken away, and he dialed Fu Beichen's number with trembling hands.

In the afternoon, Gu Xingnian went to the visiting window in the intensive care unit.

Qingning was fully awake, and she spoke softly with her mouth slightly open.

"Sister, sister."

Gu Xingnian stared in shock. She could actually speak, and the words had reached her ears from such a distance.

"Qingning, you can speak now?"

Qingning nodded gently. "Thank you for the love from the Sheng family and you. I have to leave now, and I may not be able to see your baby born."

Gu Xingnian looked anxious. "Qingning, what nonsense are you talking about? Once you recover, I'll take you home. Your parents are waiting for you there. Weiwei gave birth to two beautiful daughters, and she's waiting for you too."

Qingning's eyes were red. "Sister, I really like them. I hope I can see them again in the future."

Tell Huo Shenyuan that I don't love him, and tell him to forget me!

"Qingning, where are you going? Tell your sister." Gu Xingnian gently tapped the glass.

Qingning smiled at her and continued, "I'm so hungry. I want meat porridge, and I also want to eat cotton candy that grows bigger, milky rose bread, and a singing duck..."

She counted them carefully, tears streaming down her face. These were all her memories with Huo Shenyuan.

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone go buy it." Gu Xingnian wiped away her tears and walked out.

Huo Shenyuan's eyes reddened when he heard what Gu Xingnian said. He said he would go buy it himself and strode away.

Gu Xingnian leaned against Fu Beichen's chest, her heart heavy with worry; she sensed something bad was about to happen.

"Why are you crying again? Qingning has woken up, isn't that a good thing?"

Fu Beichen wiped away her tears with a heavy heart.

"But I feel sad. I feel like Qingning was saying goodbye to me just now."

Suddenly, the entire space went dark, as if the power had gone out.

"Don't be afraid, it's probably just a power outage." Fu Beichen hugged her tightly and quickly comforted her.

About thirty seconds later, the lights came back on.

The ICU door was suddenly opened, and a nurse ran out in a panic, shouting.

"The people are gone, the patients inside are gone."

Indeed, during those thirty seconds of darkness, Qingning left the hospital and disappeared without a trace.

When Huo Shenyuan returned with the food and learned that the person was missing, he was almost driven mad.

"Check the surveillance footage. How could such a grown person just disappear into thin air?"

“I will send people to guard the train station and airport. I will not allow her to leave. No matter where she is, I will find her and bring her back.”

...

Ultimately, all the hospital's surveillance cameras went black, and no one knew how she left with such serious injuries.

The Sheng family was also very saddened when they heard the news, and Sheng's father quickly led people to look for them.

Sheng Weiwei was so excited that she jumped out of bed.

"Qingning is missing? She hasn't come to see my daughter yet, where could she have gone? Impossible."

Bai Yu put down the sleeping baby in his arms and came over to comfort him, "Be gentle, or you'll pull on the wound."

Just then, the nurse ran over and said earnestly, "Baby, it's time to feed you. It's been almost two days, and Mommy hasn't started producing milk yet?"

Sheng Weiwei said softly, "It seems not. Maybe we should feed her formula first."

The nurse said, "That's the baby's precious food. Your husband is here; he can help urge them to hurry up."

"How do we urge them?" Sheng Weiwei asked, puzzled.

So the nurse carefully explained the lactation induction process: first step, nipple stimulation; second step, removing lumps; third step, squeezing; fourth step, suckling...

Bai Yu's brow twitched, while Sheng Weiwei's face was already flushed red.

"I'd like to hire a lactation consultant, a woman," Sheng Weiwei said quickly, her heart pounding.

The nurse checked her phone. "The female lactation consultants are all out providing services. Currently, there is only one male lactation consultant available."

"No way," Bai Yu refused outright.

The nurse smiled and said, "Then let your husband do it. It's time to feed the baby, so hurry up and don't let the baby go hungry."

After the nurse finished speaking, she walked out and closed the door.

Bai Yu drew the curtain and walked towards her, and Sheng Weiwei nervously leaned back.

Although she had kissed Bai Yu many times before, she had never had such intimate contact.

"How about... we feed her formula first?" Sheng Weiwei's voice was a little unsteady.

"Your Tuantuan can drink formula, but my Yuanyuan must drink breast milk." Bai Yu's voice carried an undeniable forcefulness.

The two children's nicknames are Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.

Sheng Weiwei: ...

He lowered his head and kissed her, his large hand sliding inside her clothes... She shuddered, her face burning.

He went through the process carefully several times, and it seemed to be really effective.

Bai Yu quickly shook his Yuan Yuan awake and brought her over to drink milk.

Sheng Weiwei was incredibly excited as she breastfed for the first time. Bai Yu smiled as he looked at her virtuous and loving wife and mother.

After finally feeding one child, Bai Yu handed Tuan Tuan over.

Sheng Weiwei looked embarrassed and awkward. "It seems... there aren't any left."

Bai Yu looked at her seriously, "Then urge the other one. You can't favor one over the other. If the child finds out in the future, they will hate you."

Sheng Weiwei: ...

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he drew the curtain again.

...

After successfully completing seven days, Sheng Weiwei was taken back to the Sheng family home to recuperate after childbirth. Madam Bai, Bai Yu, and two professional childcare workers took care of her.

Two little babies bring a lot of joy to a family.

Everyone started anticipating Gu Xingnian's pregnancy and guessing what her blind boxes would be like.

At this moment, Gu Xingnian was eating dinner, and Fu Beichen was serving her, intently removing the bones from a piece of sea bass.

His fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles. He moved with patience and care, using silver chopsticks to place a small piece of snow-white fish into her bowl.

Gu Xingnian poked at the rice in her bowl, but had no appetite.

Every day in late pregnancy feels like going through a tribulation.

My stomach feels heavy and I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning. During the day, I get out of breath after just a few steps.

Still no news from Qingning?

Gu Xingnian suddenly spoke, her voice muffled.

Fu Beichen paused for a moment.

"Um."

He looked up, his deep eyes fixed on her.

"The three neurosurgeons from the Central Hospital were brought back after being missing for three days. They were so terrified that they couldn't get anything out of them."

"There may be another group of people who are also investigating Qingning's whereabouts."

Gu Xingnian put down her chopsticks completely, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her face showed worry.

“Send someone to Rongcheng to check, and also look around my grandma’s house. I think she might be there.”

Fu Beichen reached out and covered the back of her hand with his warm palm, patting it gently.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

His voice was deep and had a calming power.

“She’s smart and will take good care of herself. My older brother also helped contact the Special Abilities Association in Country S, hoping to find some clues.”

"Um."

Gu Xingnian nodded, but her heart still felt heavy.

"Here, have some more soup."

Fu Beichen ladled out another half bowl of chicken soup for her and pushed it to her side.

Gu Xingnian was very obedient and drank the bowl in small sips.

After dinner, Fu Beichen went into his study to handle some work, while Gu Xingnian, supporting her back, slowly walked around the living room to aid digestion.

Sudden.

She felt a warm liquid slide down her inner thigh, the sticky sensation making her heart skip a beat.

She lowered her head stiffly, a small dark water stain spreading on the carpet.

Gu Xingnian's mind went blank, and she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Fu Beichen! My husband!"

Fu Beichen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the scream, and he rushed out.

When I saw the water on the ground, I was completely dumbfounded.

Oh my god.

The water broke.

He reacted extremely quickly, rushing over in one stride, his arms slipping under her knees and back, and steadily lifting her up horizontally.

He moved quickly and urgently, grabbing the person and running outside.

"Don't be afraid, Niannian, don't be afraid, we'll go to the hospital right now!"

He kept trying to comfort her, but his voice betrayed his barely suppressed panic.

"Um."

Gu Xingnian hugged his neck tightly, buried her face in his strong chest, and was still trembling with nervousness.

Maternity and Infant Hospital.

Outside the delivery room.

Grandpa Fu paced back and forth, leaning on his cane. The cane tapped the ground repeatedly, each tap striking a chord in people's hearts.

Murong Lan and Madam Bai sat in a row, their hands clasped together, muttering incantations.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng also looked nervous.

But the most restless one was Fu Beichen, whose usually cold and stern face was now filled with obvious anxiety.

He wanted to go in to be with her during childbirth, but Gu Xingnian refused, telling him to wait outside.

Is she scared being all alone inside? Can she handle it? Does she even have the strength left?

As he pondered, a layer of sticky, cold sweat appeared on his clenched palms.

His deep eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door, as if he wanted to burn a hole through it.

Sudden.

The red light on the door went out.

The next second, the door was pushed open from the inside.

A nurse came out carrying a swaddled baby, a professional smile on her face.

With a "boom," everyone swarmed around...

The heir of the Fu family has been born!
