Chapter 1084: He's a father now.
Qiao Xing had never thought about such a thing before. Now that Qin Ce had suddenly asked her this question, she imagined what it would be like to separate from Qin Ce. She felt quite uncomfortable.
She slapped Qin Ce and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you saying such things out of the blue?"
Lying in her crib, Er'er probably knew her mother was unhappy, because she suddenly woke up and started crying in a babbling voice.
Qiao Xing sat up almost reflexively to check on the child.
Qin Ce had a rare moment of tenderness with Qiao Xing when it was suddenly interrupted by the child's crying.
As he listened to Qiao Xing muttering about whether the baby needed a diaper change and whether it was time to feed the baby, he knew in his heart that from now on, the child would be number one in this family, Grandpa Qin would be number two, and he would be number three.
Qiao Xing had only been home for two days when Qin Ce's phone suddenly rang in the middle of the night.
Because he was afraid of disturbing the child, Qin Ce immediately pressed the mute button.
He got up, turned on the light, glanced at the number, and saw it was Yang Han.
Qin Ce got out of bed and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
Yang Han excitedly said on the phone, "Old Qin, my wife is about to give birth!"
Qin Ce paused, "Which hospital?"
"It's that hospital where Qiao Xingsheng works, Lao Qin. Xiao Lin has been inside for almost an hour, and there's still no sign of anything. Could something have happened?"
This was the first time Yang Han had experienced something like this, and she had no idea what to do.
Yang Han's parents and Xiao Lin's parents both came. Although there were many people at the entrance of the delivery room, Yang Han was still very uneasy.
He thought Qin Ce had been through similar experiences, which is why he decided to call him.
Qin Ce said, "The doctors and nurses at that hospital are all very nice, so don't worry, your wife will be fine."
Yang Han prayed, "I don't even hope she'll give me a son or a daughter anymore. I just want her to come out of here safely."
His current feelings are exactly the same as Qin Ce's back then, and Qin Ce understands him very well.
After saying a few words, Yang Han hung up the phone.
Qin Ce knew that Yang Han must be very anxious, but there was nothing he could do right now except be anxious.
Qin Ce put away his phone, turned around, and was about to get into bed when Qiao Xing was woken up by his movements.
She groggily opened her eyes, saw Qin Ce, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ce lay down, expertly pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Xiao Lin is about to give birth; she's at the hospital."
Qiao Xing was a little surprised, "Really!"
As she spoke, she started to get up, "Shall we go see her?"
Qin Ce stopped her, "It's too late, let's go tomorrow."
Qiao Xing belatedly realized that it was already 3 a.m.
The child is still asleep. If they go to the hospital, Grandpa Qin will have to take care of the child.
It's not good to bother the elderly in the middle of the night.
Qiao Xing said, "Then we'll go check on her again tomorrow morning when the nanny arrives."
After learning that Xiao Lin had given birth, Qiao Xing couldn't fall asleep once he lay down.
She spoke with Xiao Lin on the phone yesterday, and Xiao Lin told her that her due date was almost two weeks past and she still hadn't given birth.
The doctors have already advised her that if she doesn't give birth soon, she should have a C-section.
Although Xiao Lin is not that strict about her figure, she knows that it takes a long time to recover from a cesarean section.
Furthermore, many problems can arise if the incision from a cesarean section is not properly treated.
Qiao Xing told her that regardless of whether it's a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery, a woman's body will always have many problems after giving birth.
For example, although she had a natural birth and underwent postpartum rehabilitation, and although her figure was no different from before she had children, she could clearly feel that her constitution had changed.
Qiao Xing silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Xiao Lin would be safe and sound.
The next morning, Qin Ce had just woken up when he received a text message from Yang Han.
"She has given birth, and both mother and child are safe."
Qin Ce looked at the text message and felt relieved, then smiled.
It seems Yang Han's wish is going to be in vain.
He showed Qiao Xing the text message, and the two discussed that they would go to the hospital to see Xiao Lin after breakfast.
The nanny had already prepared breakfast, and Qiao Xing and Qin Ce carried the child downstairs.
Now that they have a child, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce discussed having the nanny live at their home.
It's convenient for her to take care of the children when they need something.
There's no need to hire a nanny anymore.
There are plenty of empty rooms in the house, so setting up a room for a nanny is no problem at all.
While having breakfast, Qin Ce told his grandfather that he was going to the hospital.
Grandpa Qin was overjoyed to hear that Yang Han's wife had also given birth.
"That brat Yang Han, I used to think he was just a kid, but now he's a father."
Time flies, and whenever he sees the younger generation getting married and starting their own families, Grandpa Qin sighs, "They really are getting old."
When Qiao Xing left, she gave the nanny a few words of advice about the child.
Although the nanny was experienced and Qiao Xing trusted her to take care of the child, this was probably every new mother's instinctive reaction—no matter what, she could never stop worrying about her child.
Grandpa Qin said to the two of them, "Don't worry, Er'er is under my care."
With a nanny at home and Grandpa Qin watching over things, Qiao Xing was naturally at ease.
She said to Grandpa Qin, "Er'er won't bother you once she's eaten her fill. If anything happens, just give us a call and we'll come right back."
Grandpa Qin waved his hand, "Alright, alright, don't worry."
Qiao Xing and Qin Ce quickly packed up and headed to the hospital.
As soon as they left, Grandpa Qin stayed by Er'er's side, watching her sleep peacefully with an unstoppable smile on his face.
After staring at the child for a while, Grandpa Qin said to the nanny with some concern, "Turn the air conditioner down a bit. It's not cold outside today, and it's not good for the child if the room is too hot."
Upon hearing this, the nanny quickly went to adjust the air conditioner temperature.
Although Grandpa Qin is old, he seems to have more experience in taking care of children than a nanny.
Sometimes, even things the nanny almost forgot, Grandpa Qin would remind her.
Moreover, Er'er seems to be very close to Grandpa Qin; she always seems very happy whenever she sees him.
Qiao Xing and Qin Ce arrived at the hospital and asked at the nurses' station which ward Xiao Lin was in.
When Yang Han arrived at the ward, she was feeding Xiao Lin.
Seeing Qin Ce and Qiao Xing walk in, Yang Han quickly stood up, "Old Qin, sister-in-law, you're here, please sit down!"
On the way here, Qiao Xing bought Xiao Lin a bouquet of flowers, and Qin Ce bought some supplies for the child and Xiao Lin.
Seeing the couple carrying so many things, Yang Han felt ashamed. "Look at you two, you came all this way, but you brought so much stuff. We didn't even go to see your wife when she gave birth, it's so embarrassing..."
