"The doctor said that it's normal for it to be delayed by half a month, so there's no rush. One more day the baby stays in my belly is better than a year of supplements outside. My grandson's health will definitely be good." Lin Shufang remained relatively calm.

Ye Qingqing thought about it and felt a little more at ease. Time passed day by day, and she was already ten days past her due date, but there was still no sign of labor. The doctor became anxious and performed a series of examinations on Ye Qingqing.

"No problem, let's observe a little longer. If it doesn't work, we'll give you an oxytocin injection," the doctor suggested.

Lin Shufang refused, saying, "No, we won't use oxytocin. The fruit will fall when it's ripe. We won't give birth now because the fruit isn't ripe yet. It will ripen naturally when the time comes. Using oxytocin is bad for the baby."

She's quite open-minded about other things, but she's very firm about this one, with no room for discussion. She always feels that having a child should follow the laws of nature and not be interfered with by human intervention, which would affect the child's own birth, unless absolutely necessary.

Ye Qingqing can eat and sleep well now, and the baby's check-up shows that the baby is healthy. Why should she take an oxytocin injection? Lin Shufang strongly opposes it, but Ye Qingqing doesn't care. As long as the baby is okay, it doesn't matter if it's a few days later.

The doctor didn't try to dissuade her much, but suggested that Ye Qingqing stay in the hospital for observation, in case the fetus experienced oxygen deprivation or umbilical cord entanglement. Ye Qingqing had no objection and decided not to go home. She stayed in the best VIP maternity room, which also had a kitchen where she could cook soup and meals.

Tang Yuanyuan and Ruan Yingzi came to visit. Tang Yuanyuan had married Tiedan in the spring and looked like a happy little woman. Ye Qingqing attended the wedding with a big belly. Seeing the girl who died tragically in her previous life now finding happiness, she was really gratified.

Ruan Yingzi's wedding is in the second half of the year, which is more than three months away. Everything is arranged by her mother and Li Wuming, and she, the bride-to-be, is traveling around as if nothing is wrong.

"Why isn't the little guy coming out yet? Is he going to refuse to come out even after I get married?" Ruan Yingzi joked.

Tang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "Do you think you're pregnant with Nezha? Qingqing will be in confinement by the time you get married, so she can attend your wedding."

Ye Qingqing smiled wryly, "I'm really worried that what Yingzi said will come true. You don't know, my little darling is like a tortoise. She hasn't been diligent at all since she got pregnant. She's always a dozen steps behind everyone else in everything. I guess she'll be ten days late in coming out."

"puff"

Tang Yuanyuan and Ruan Yingzi both laughed; who would describe their own son like that?

“That’s impossible. I’ve heard from the elders that there were indeed children who were born a month late in the past, and they were all very smart and healthy. The elders said that children born late are all successful and outstanding,” Tang Yuanyuan comforted her.

Ye Qingqing laughed, "He must be successful. His father and I are both so smart. It would be a disservice to our genes if he wasn't successful."

Ruan Yingzi suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly struck by a sudden thought. Ye Qingqing glared at her several times before the young lady finally spoke up, "I admit Lu Mo is smart, but you... haha... come on, you're even dumber than me!"

"Bullshit! How am I not smart? I'm a medical student, after all. How could I have gotten into university if I wasn't smart!" Ye Qingqing was furious, glaring at the guy.

Ruan Yingzi chuckled and said, "I heard that you were able to get into university thanks to Lu Mo's tutoring. Lu Mo is really good at predicting exam questions; he predicted quite a few of the questions on the college entrance exam. Yuanyuan benefited a lot from that."
