Chapter 237 Extra 2: Giving Birth

Xu Xian glanced at him when he heard that, a smile on his lips, "If it was a soft girl, would you be willing to hit her?"

They did not check the gender of the child through other channels, wanting to keep it in suspense and wait for the final prize package to be announced.

Jiang Shibai lowered his voice a little, "If it's a little girl, forget it, but if it's a son, he's thick-skinned, so you can just give him a pat on the butt to vent your anger."

He admitted that he favored girls over boys. It wasn't that there was a real difference, as they both received the same amount of love and property. He just subconsciously felt that boys were thicker-skinned and didn't need to be pampered like little girls.

"Look at how you favor girls over boys. Be careful, my son. I won't play with you when I hear your biased words." Xu Xian pouted and touched his belly, which was not rising or falling obviously. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the baby in his belly, "Baby, daddy is talking nonsense, ignore him."

"Mom loves you!"

Jiang Shibai coughed lightly and took back his previous words, "Well, Dad was just talking nonsense, just pretend you didn't hear it. Dad loves you too."

He knew that as the months went by, Xu Xian's physical burden would only increase, and he was just losing control of his emotions. As a husband and father, he naturally had to shoulder certain responsibilities and obligations.

So when she was six months pregnant, Xu Xian became a little plump and her weight increased slightly within a certain range. However, she looked rosy-cheeked, while Jiang Shibai had lost a lot of weight and even had morning sickness.

For a moment, it was unclear who the pregnant woman was.

Ever since she became pregnant, the old house sent her supplements for pregnant women every now and then. All the good things were sent to Repulse Bay. There were so many that she couldn't eat them all or use them all.

Xu Xian didn't have any experienced confinement nanny around her, so after going through layers of screening, she selected two people to carefully take care of her body.

As for the Jiang couple, they were also very happy. Jiang Yanfeng was domineering and upright, and directly gave 500 million to Xu Xian as a reward for her pregnancy.

Wen Tingyun and Xu Xian still don't have a close relationship, and he has been complaining about her not getting pregnant for the past two years.

But after experiencing the incident of Zhai Jin killing Zhang Wan, he no longer acted without thinking as before, and his attitude towards Xu Xian became much softer.

The news of her pregnancy made Wen Tingyun so happy that he went up the mountain early in the morning to pray to gods and Buddhas for Xu Xian and the baby in her belly to be safe and sound.

Her starting point was for the child, but considering that she and Zhang Wan got along well when she was alive, and that Xu Xian had lost her mother and was directly deprived of an older same-sex elder, she felt a little sympathy and specially lit a stick of incense for Xu Xian, praying that she would give birth to a child smoothly and get off the operating table.

After all, as a mother, she also knows that pregnancy is not easy and giving birth is like going through the gates of hell.

Xu Xian, Li Nanyan and Jiang Shixin also occasionally get together for afternoon tea and chat. Apart from imparting parenting knowledge, they don’t touch on any other topics such as husbands and children. They just talk about food, drink, fun or interesting things in the circle.

While getting married, they do not lose themselves and revolve completely around their family.

When the fetus moved for the first time, Xu Xian didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He shouted loudly, and Jiang Shibai, who was cooking in the kitchen, almost thought something had happened. He was scared to the point of his legs going weak.

When I learned it was fetal movement, I couldn't wait to put down the spatula, take off my apron, go to the bathroom to wash my hands and disinfect them, and then I touched my belly with excitement.

As a result, I don’t know if the baby in her belly was holding a grudge, but because he knew that she said she didn’t like boys, when he touched her belly, no matter how he coaxed her, she didn’t respond at all and didn’t move at all.

It wasn't until the second fetal movement that Jiang Shibai got the chance to feel the charming rise and fall of her belly in her palm, as if the child was touching him through a layer of belly.

In the days approaching the due date, Jiang Shibai hardly had a full night's sleep and woke up four or five times a night, just because he was afraid that Xu Xian beside him would suddenly give birth.

But the baby in her belly was not anxious at all. There was no movement when the due date came. It was so quiet that everyone thought she was pregnant with Nezha.

Madam Jiang said frankly that the child should be very steady and calm, and his temperament might be exactly the same as Shi Bai's.

Xu Xian stayed in the ward for several days before her water broke.

When she was sent to the delivery room, Jiang Shibai wanted to accompany her, but Xu Xian endured the excruciating pain, her unmade-up face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she bit her pale lips and refused.

She loves beauty and doesn't want her loved one to see her miserable appearance during childbirth.

There was no other way. The pregnant woman was the most vulnerable, so Jiang Shibai was forced to stay outside the delivery room. He, who usually kept his expression expressionless, stood like a sculpture at the door of the delivery room with tears in his eyes.

He has read many books on childbirth and consulted countless materials. He is very clear that there are certain risks in childbirth and it is not 100% safe.

Now he suddenly felt a little regretful. He would rather not have children in this life than let his sweet baby lie on the operating table with an unknown fate.

Even though the obstetricians and gynecologists in the operating room were all national experts in the field, he was still worried.

When the others received the news and rushed to the door of the delivery room, they saw the expressionless man who seemed to have lost his soul. He did not respond when anyone called him, but just stared blankly at the door of the delivery room, hoping that the door would open and bring good news.

Xu Xian's delivery was not particularly fast. Jiang Shibai's feet were motionless and almost numb from standing when the nurse came out holding a boy and reported that everything was safe.

When Jiang Shibai heard that the mother was safe, the heart that had been hanging in his throat was completely relieved. He had no intention of holding or looking at the child. He just waited for Xu Xian to be pushed out of the delivery room and followed her back to the ward step by step.

Old Madam Jiang and the others took turns holding the baby, overjoyed and not daring to disturb Xu Xian's peace and quiet. After putting the baby in the crib, they left Jiang Shibai and the nanny and left the ward.

When Xu Xian woke up, Jiang Shibai bent down and kissed her eyes, his voice hoarse, "My dear, thank you for your hard work."

Originally, he wanted to have a son and a daughter with his good friend, but now he dares not even think about it. In order to cut off the thought, he even secretly had a sterilization operation without telling anyone.

If the lively and active Jiang Si had not accidentally rummaged through the drawers one day and accidentally grabbed the hospital bill and gave it to her, Xu Xian might have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life.

This sentence made Xu Xian feel that the suffering she endured on the operating table was worth it.

Jiang Si's name was chosen by Jiang Yanfeng after searching through the dictionary for several days. After all, they were a generation apart, so he had high hopes for him and wanted him to live a more unrestrained and uninhibited life, unlike Jiang Shibai's childhood, where his life was filled with only study and business.

During the confinement period, Xu Xian didn't worry about the child at all. It was not that she didn't want to, but Jiang Si didn't need her at all except for occasional breastfeeding, and her motherly love was useless.

Blood connection is a magical thing. Jiang Shibai carefully held his monkey-like son in his arms. He felt that although he was ugly, he was kind-hearted.

It was just that the father's love for the child was born out of love for everyone in the child. But as the little boy kept crying and wouldn't stop unless he was held and coaxed to sleep, the father's love, which was already limited, disappeared completely.

I wanted to beat him three hundred times a day, and I felt like he was here to collect a debt.

It seems that he was well-behaved in the womb and knew how to care for his mother, but when he came out, he acted like a little bully and tortured his father.

Jiang Si doesn't cling to Xu Xian, nor does he rely on anyone in the Jiang family. He insists that Jiang Shibai do things like changing diapers and coaxing him to sleep himself, otherwise he will cry.

After satisfying his physiological needs, he didn't want to stay in Jiang Shibai's arms. He was a typical scumbag who would throw away the person after use. But next to Xu Xian, he was a quiet and warm boy.

Xu Xian laughed non-stop at the beginning, and said frankly that Jiang Si must have heard his words that favored girls over boys, so he came to take revenge.

But later, when he saw that Jiang Shibai still had to take care of him after work, he still felt distressed and always secretly said good things about Jiang Shibai to Jiang Si, who could not speak.

Once, Jiang Shibai, who was holding a bottle of milk outside the door, heard it. For a moment, he felt that it was not completely without benefit for the brat to torture him. At least his good baby felt sorry for him.

For his sake, she even threatened that if Jiang Si made trouble again, she would take off his underwear and slap his little butt in front of everyone, without giving him any face.

Jiang Si: My parents are true love, I am an accident.

I don't know if he understood it as a baby, but after the confinement period, he transformed from a red monkey into a delicate little baby. His temperament also became much more obedient. He rarely made unreasonable demands and insisted that Jiang Shibai do things for him personally.

Jiang Shibai, who had been abused for a whole month, still felt a little uncomfortable.
