Bai Ru'an, his face grim, stepped over, picked her up, and ran outside. It was only because he was tall and strong that he could carry her; otherwise, Lin Xiazhu was now so plump and round that not just anyone could lift her.
"Xiao An, am I going into labor? What should I do? I shouldn't have started earlier, sigh..." Lin Xiazhu was sweating profusely from the pain, and kept muttering to herself.
"You know you've upset the baby. I told you to stay home and not run around, but you insisted on going out to the mall. If you're going to go shopping, why did you have to hit someone yourself?" She just lifted up such a heavy shelf. Why didn't she just fly to the sky?
Yan Xin no longer cared about Wang Shi's situation. Before leaving, she said ruthlessly, "You just wait, you'll get what's coming to you."
"You're dead meat," Lin Taozi cursed angrily.
By the time they caught up, Bai Ruan's car had already sped away. Fortunately, Yan Xin had been driving when they came out, and the two of them got in the car and immediately drove to the hospital.
"She had a miscarriage, but thankfully there aren't any major problems. However, she needs to be extra careful in the future. Twin pregnancies are prone to premature birth. If it weren't for Mrs. Bai's good health, she probably would have given birth to the babies prematurely today," the doctor reminded Lin Xiazhu with a serious expression after examining her.
If a baby is born too prematurely, it will definitely need to be placed in an incubator, which will affect both the mother's and the baby's health. It is safer to give birth at full term.
Lin Xiazhu had already fallen asleep, lying on the hospital bed, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. Bai Ruan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's words, but then felt his headache getting worse. It seemed he would have to stay by his wife's side for the next few months, otherwise no one could keep an eye on her, and she would run wild if he wasn't careful.
In fact, Lin Xiazhu is usually quite composed. As long as no one provokes her, she won't get angry and want to hit anyone. This chance encounter with Wang Shi was also unexpected. She strongly suspects that the other party knows her, not because of her identity, but because she went to Zhang Yu and Li Honglian's divorce. Although she didn't get out of the car, Wang Shi probably saw her, which is why he deliberately picked a fight with her.
After that day, Bai Ru'an moved her work home, which meant that Bai Junbo had to take on many tasks. Bai Junbo complained about this and expressed his dissatisfaction, but Bai Ru'an ignored him.
Uncle, what's more important than your wife and children?
Even Bai Zhengping thought his son was being stingy. "Xiaozhu is due to give birth in a few months. It's only right that Mingxuan spends more time with her. You don't have a wife or children, so you should work overtime and manage the company well. You have a whole family waiting for you to support. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders."
"Dad, so all that money I've worked so hard to earn at the company is just to support this family?" Bai Junbai's forehead twitched, and his head ached a little.
"Don't feel it's unfair or hold a grudge. Xiaozhu is your niece-in-law, and Xiaomo Xun and the unborn child are all your descendants, related to you by blood. They will all call you Grandpa Uncle. When you are laid to rest, you should be gratified to leave the Songbai Group to them, after all, they are the descendants of my Bai family."
"That's how your life will be. Dad won't force you to get married and have children. You couldn't even find a wife when you were young, and now you're in your forties. Who would dare marry you? Sigh!"
Bai Junbai's face was ashen. He was only forty-three years old this year. He had always been outstanding in appearance and well-maintained. When he went out, people would think he was at most in his early thirties and was still young and strong. Who said he couldn't get married and have children?
"Not necessarily, I might get married." Bai Junbai revealed some information cryptically.
Bai Zhengping raised an eyebrow, saying incredulously, "It's not really appropriate for you to get married now. Xiao Moxun and his younger siblings will be older than your children by then. Are you going to let my precious grandson follow behind younger children and call them uncle and aunt? What kind of behavior is that?"
So, to avoid embarrassing Xiao Moxun and his younger siblings, we won't praise him for getting married and having children. Who was it that used to be so sarcastic and cynical, trying to force him to get married?
"Dad, I'm your son, your biological son." Bai Junbai felt it was necessary to remind his father of this fact.
"Mingxuan is my grandson, Xiaomoxun is my great-grandson, and now two more of my beloved grandchildren are about to be born. I am very content." So your old son, who is already quite old, has long since fallen out of favor and doesn't care whether you get married or not.
It seemed there was no way to have a proper conversation. Bai Junbo announced coldly with a stern face, "Dad, if I'm going to get married, you'd better be prepared."
Watching his son's departing figure, Bai Zhengping seemed lost in thought. "Hmm, Junbai has really come to his senses. He's getting on in years and is planning to get married? Which family's daughter is he trying to seduce?"
"Butler, do you think Junbai really wants to get married? That makes sense. He probably feels too lonely being alone. As you get older, the thing you fear most is having no one by your side."
But what kind of woman do you think he'd date? A divorced woman? Or a single woman around his age, or perhaps an older man dating a younger woman? None of those seem like a good fit.
The butler's lips twitched, and he said something to the point, "Young Master Bai has high standards. He doesn't look at ordinary people, and he probably wouldn't even consider divorced women. He's probably looking for a celestial beauty." And she'll be young, because judging from Young Master Bai's past relationships, he prefers young women.
The maximum age cannot exceed his age.
"It seems Junbai is determined to mess with other people's young girls. Oh well, let's see what he can do." Bai Zhengping was no longer concerned about this. It must have been since Xiao Moxun was born that he lost interest in whether his youngest son had settled down.
Lin Xiazhu has been in a good mood lately. Her husband is at home with her during her pregnancy and is very accommodating to her. Except for not allowing her to go out, everything is perfect.
Eight months passed peacefully, and Lin Xiazhu showed no signs of giving birth. In fact, she was in excellent health, with no discomfort except for feeling that her large belly was pressing against her lungs.
However, what struck her as odd recently was that Taozi had been coming over unusually frequently. Although she used to come and stay for one or two nights often, it was only every now and then. But lately, she's been coming over every few days.
"You've been so free at work lately, why do you keep coming here?" Lin Xiazhu wondered.
Lin Taozi's eyes flashed, but she quickly returned to normal. "Big sister, isn't it good that I came to see you? You complained that I came too often. I just wanted to spend more time with you since you're about to give birth. You're carrying twins."
"You used to be very busy with work, often flying to other cities for gigs and location shooting. Is it because I haven't been in charge of the company for too long that your resources have decreased?" She was referring to the entertainment company, which she had handed over to the vice president to manage because she was pregnant.
"No, who would dare not give me resources? I just want to take a break for a while. Don't you always advise me not to value money too much? I've been busy for so long and I'm a bit tired. I just want to take a few months off." Lin Taozi said without batting an eye.
Although Lin Xiazhu felt something was off, she was feeling lazy and didn't want to think too much about it, so she decided to believe Lin Taozi for the time being. Nothing bad would happen anyway, and if she wanted to take a vacation, so be it. Everyone has those days when they don't want to work.
