Yan Heqing was silent for a moment before saying, "I will bring betrothal gifts to her door to propose marriage and tell her that the child will need a father after it is born."

And I even persuaded my aunt and uncle to help me convince her to marry me for the sake of the child.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiaoqiao was momentarily speechless.

In this era, the social pressure that unmarried women who become pregnant before marriage have to bear is unimaginable.

Tong's parents definitely wanted their daughter to get married so that their grandson could have a legitimate father, so they would naturally help Yan Heqing.

But for Tong Xuejiao, this meant that her closest parents were working with Yan Heqing to force her into marriage using the child in her womb, which she definitely couldn't stand, given her temperament.

Yang Qiaoqiao did not express any opinion on Yan Heqing's behavior.

However, Yan Heqing himself has realized how heinous his actions were.

The usually gentle and refined man, unusually flustered, clutched his hair in anguish and said, "Xuejiao has been avoiding me, and I really had no other choice but to resort to this. I never expected her to..."

Seeing Yan Heqing's pained and regretful expression, Yang Qiaoqiao frowned and said, "It's no use regretting it now. Let's find the person first!"

Huo Beixiao's connections in Haicheng are not as strong as they are in Sichuan Province. Most of his subordinates are also from Sichuan Province, so they are unfamiliar with the area and naturally cannot help find people in such a large place as Haicheng.

But Tong Xuejiao was about to give birth, which was a matter of life and death.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Beixiao called Yue Rongzheng.

After receiving the call, Yue Rongzheng said that they were training a special forces unit and could assign the task of finding Tong Xuejiao as a special mission to the soldiers in the special forces.

Special forces soldiers are trained with great effort by the country, and their abilities in all aspects are top-notch, including reconnaissance capabilities.

With their help, Yue Rongzheng accurately told them in less than half a day that Tong Xuejiao was giving birth in a township health center under the jurisdiction of Haishi.

Upon hearing this news, Yan Heqing immediately drove to the township health center to find Tong Xuejiao.

Yang Qiaoqiao immediately stopped him.

"Brother Yan, you can go find Sister Xuejiao now. But once you find her, just observe her from a distance. Don't reveal yourself or let her see you."

If you can't do it, then don't go.

Yan Heqing was slightly taken aback.

He certainly didn't want things to turn out this way; after all, in his heart, she was his woman and child.

But soon he nodded and agreed, "Yes, I know. Until she calms down, I will only watch from afar and will not appear in front of her to make her angry again."

After the three of them informed Tong's parents that the person had been found, they rushed to the town where Tong Xuejiao lived.

By the time they arrived, Tong Xuejiao had already entered the delivery room.

Shortly after they arrived, a nurse rushed out of the delivery room and said to another nurse, "Tong Xuejiao is having a difficult labor and needs a cesarean section. Contact her family members immediately to sign the consent form."

Just as Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao were about to step forward, the nurse immediately took out a stack of signed documents. "Tong Xuejiao's cesarean section will proceed directly. She signed the documents herself before entering the delivery room, and also signed a commitment letter stating that if any unexpected situation occurs during the delivery process, the doctor will have full authority to handle it, and she will bear all the consequences herself."

The nurse who came out of the delivery room looked at the large stack of documents that Tong Xuejiao had already signed, and then hurriedly went back into the delivery room.

Yang Qiaoqiao was unsure whether to feel sorry for Tong Xuejiao or cheer for her.

What's heartbreaking is that she had no one to rely on when she had to give birth, such a major event.

What's admirable is that she is strong enough to have already arranged everything for herself.

The expression on Yan Heqing's face revealed the complex emotions he felt.

Yang Qiaoqiao sent Huo Beixiao out to pack some food suitable for postpartum women for Tong Xuejiao.

Yan Heqing immediately said, "I'll go buy some for Xuejiao. Qiaoqiao, tell me which foods are suitable for postpartum women."

Yang Qiaoqiao said, "You can go, but Xiao Ge has to go with you. If Xuejiao has already come out of the delivery room when you come back, then don't show up."

Yan Heqing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

After Yan Heqing and Huo Beixiao left, Yang Qiaoqiao stayed alone outside the delivery room.

Shortly after, the sound of a baby crying rang out in the delivery room.

Yang Qiaoqiao stood up excitedly.

About half an hour later, Tong Xuejiao and her baby were wheeled out of the delivery room.

Yang Qiaoqiao immediately rushed over, "Sister Xuejiao."

Tong Xuejiao was already exhausted when she first tried to have a natural birth. Later, because the baby was too big, the baby got stuck in her shoulder and couldn't come out, so she had to have a cesarean section.

After being given anesthesia, I lost all feeling in my lower body.

She was panicked and scared, but the thought that she was all alone in the hospital and had to take care of her child forced her to persevere.

When she saw Yang Qiaoqiao, she was initially taken aback.

She blinked, barely able to stay awake, and said, "Qiaoqiao, you're here! Perfect timing. Could you watch the baby for me? I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

Yang Qiaoqiao quickly called out to Tong Xuejiao, "Sister Xuejiao, don't go to sleep yet, wait a little longer."

After giving birth, there is a two-hour observation period during which you cannot sleep.

Because once a new mother falls asleep, it's difficult for doctors to determine whether she's experiencing a health problem and going into shock, or simply falling asleep.

Tong Xuejiao said she was too tired and couldn't stay awake any longer.

Yang Qiaoqiao quickly picked up the still-sleeping child and brought him close to Tong Xuejiao, playing with the child together with her.

Looking at the child she had given birth to with great difficulty, Tong Xuejiao couldn't help but smile gently, and her spirits lifted somewhat.

Only then did she remember to ask Yang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, how did you find this place? Besides you, no one else knows I'm here, right? You didn't bring anyone else with you, did you?"

Yang Qiaoqiao naturally knew who Tong Xuejiao was referring to when she said "others".

He said somewhat helplessly, "Don't worry, it's just me and Brother Xiao. There's no one else here."

Tong Xuejiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, just the two of you is fine. The observation time is almost up, I'm going to take a nap."

This little guy really wore me out; I'm completely exhausted.

Tong Xuejiao was still under the effects of the anesthesia and was extremely tired. With Yang Qiaoqiao by her side, she relaxed and fell asleep without a second thought.
