Chapter 43 Manta Rose: Xia Weiwei and I were indeed pregnant out of wedlock.
When Xia Weiwei gave birth, the online discussion reached the top of the trending searches. Lu Yanzhou arranged for people to control it, but they couldn't suppress Xia Weiwei's nearly 100 million fans at all.
Grandpa Lu and Bai Ying rushed over upon hearing the news and are now patiently waiting outside the delivery room.
It was quiet inside, not a sound could be heard, and Lu Yanzhou had a gloomy face.
"Don't be like this, A-Yue can feel your emotions." Bai Ying couldn't stand it anymore and patted Lu Yanzhou's arm.
Lu Yanzhou didn't speak, his face still cold. He shifted his body, standing further away from Bai Ying.
Bai Ying looked at the distance between them and knew she couldn't hit him, a hint of helplessness on her face.
Less than five minutes later, Lu Yanzhou ran his fingers through his hair.
"Why hasn't it been born yet!" His tone was extremely agitated, and his eyes were filled with malice.
"Now you know how to worry, why didn't you take precautions back then?"
“We did it, but who knew it would be so useless.” Lu Yanzhou exuded an aura of death.
"Pregnancy takes ten months, let alone childbirth, and besides, A-Yue has only been inside for half an hour."
Not even half an hour...
Lu Yanzhou felt that a year had passed.
"Will Daddy cut the umbilical cord?" the nurse asked as she pushed open the door.
He hadn't discussed this with Xia Weiwei.
Can he cut the umbilical cord?
Lu Yanzhou didn't know how to answer, and he was afraid that if he answered too slowly, Xia Weiwei would be in pain for a few more minutes.
"Mom said she hopes Dad will come and cut the umbilical cord."
Lu Yanzhou's eyes lit up instantly; A Yue wanted him to cut it.
"Cut!" Lu Yanzhou said firmly.
The nurse nodded and told him to come in with her to change his clothes.
The nurse was standing at the door, but she turned around and went inside without paying attention to the door. Lu Yanzhou was preoccupied with Xia Weiwei and didn't pay attention to the door either. Plus, the door closed quickly, and his face hit the iron door.
With a bang, the corridor finally became less quiet, just as Lu Yanzhou had expected.
"I'm fine, let's go." The nurse turned around when she heard the voice, and Lu Yanzhou covered his face with one hand and waved his hand with the other.
Bai Ying shook her head at Lu Yanzhou's foolish appearance.
Xia Weiwei was given an epidural when she was wheeled in, but she is very sensitive to pain, and she is still in a lot of pain. The sweat on her forehead and temples makes her look disheveled.
"Wife, I'm here." Lu Yanzhou changed his clothes and saw Xia Weiwei; his eyes were only on Xia Weiwei.
He stepped forward and took Xia Weiwei's hand. A glimmer of light appeared in Xia Weiwei's pained eyes, but it only lasted for a second.
"Ah!" she whispered, and Lu Yanzhou hurriedly took the tissue to wipe the sweat from her face.
He seemed to have forgotten why he came here.
"We'll only have this one child, and we'll never have any more."
Xia Weiwei ignored him, her pale lips revealing her weakness.
"Daddy, the baby's out! Come and cut the umbilical cord!" Chen He urged. Xia Weiwei used her last bit of strength to squeeze Lu Yanzhou's palm, and Lu Yanzhou reacted.
As Lu Yanzhou took the scissors and made the cut, an invisible rope seemed to bind him and the baby together.
I've finally given birth.
Xia Weiwei lost all her strength and collapsed.
Xia Weiwei's entire process, from entering to exiting, took less than an hour, and the delivery went smoothly. However, she was still somewhat dazed afterward.
Bai Ying went to see the baby, while Lu Yanzhou followed Xia Weiwei back to the ward.
Xia Weiwei's eyes were glazed over. Lu Yanzhou asked her if she was hungry or thirsty. Xia Weiwei shook her head. Lu Yanzhou then took a cotton swab, moistened it with water, and wiped her slightly dry lips.
Ten minutes later, the nurse came in carrying the baby.
Lu Yanzhou had learned how to hold a baby, but back then he used a toy doll; now he wanted to hold a real baby.
He suddenly reached out his hand, and the baby, nestled in the pink blanket, yawned contentedly.
"I want to see." Xia Weiwei's strength had not yet returned, and she spoke weakly.
Xia Weiwei wasn't even sure if she had spoken aloud when Lu Yanzhou came over carrying the baby.
The baby was nestled in her arms, and even through the pink blanket, she could feel its warmth.
This is her baby.
The baby was born on April 2nd.
Xia Weiwei touched the little guy's fist, but the little guy didn't react.
She nuzzled her face against the little one's face again, and then the little one slowly opened his eyes.
Double eyelids.
Xia Weiwei was stunned.
The little guy's eyes were dark, shining with a pure and innocent light.
Xia Weiwei saw the world's brightest black gemstone.
She stared at her, her face expressionless. Xia Weiwei tensed up, and suddenly, the little one burst out laughing.
Xia Weiwei's heart melted, filled to the brim.
Seeing her smile, she felt that suffering was nothing.
The little one grabbed her hand and shook it. When Grandpa Bai Yinglu came over and saw this scene, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.
"Okay, the most important thing for you now is to rest. I'll take good care of the baby."
Lu Yanzhou picked up the little one, who suddenly sat up high. She didn't cry at all and continued to smile at Lu Yanzhou. Lu Yanzhou's heart softened.
Xia Weiwei then closed her eyes with peace of mind, and soon fell asleep.
Lu Yanzhou took the baby to the nurse for a check-up.
The nurse opened the pink blanket and counted the fibers one by one with her fingers.
"Two hands, five fingers."
"Now let's look at our little feet."
"They are all five."
The nurse opened the middle, exposing her umbilical cord, and checked her anus.
"It's a baby girl."
"It's a beautiful baby girl."
Lu Yanzhou recorded the whole process, and when he heard that it was a baby girl, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I kept playing hide-and-seek with them, keeping my gender a complete secret, just to surprise them.
The nurse wrapped the baby up again, and Lu Yanzhou saved the video at the same time. He remembered that when he first found out that Xia Weiwei was pregnant, he had sent her a video of the baby's prenatal checkup.
He also sent the video to Xia Weiwei.
[Husband: This is our baby's pre-delivery inspection report]
When Lu Yanzhou returned to the room, Xia Weiwei was still asleep.
"Mom, please take care of things here for now. I have something to take care of."
Bai Ying knew what Lu Yanzhou was going to do: "Go ahead, leave this to me."
The baby was born at 11:12, and the press conference was held at 12:30.
People skipped meals and lunch breaks; those who could come to the venue did so, and those who couldn't watch the live stream.
Lu Yanzhou was dressed in a black suit, with a faint smile on his face, which was particularly eerie.
"Mr. Lu, is it true that you and Xia Weiwei had a child out of wedlock?"
"Mr. Lu, may I ask..."
Everyone, disregarding everything else, shoved the microphones in front of him.
This was Lu Yanzhou's first press conference. When he was the president of the Lu Group, he didn't hold such a grand event.
"Everyone, an hour ago, my beloved gave birth to a lovely little princess named Xue Ling." Lu Yanzhou said with a smile.
But everyone was unable to see his facial expressions; their minds were completely focused on analyzing them—
Xia Weiwei gave birth to a daughter. Oh no! The wealthy family only wants boys. Xia Weiwei's wishful thinking has failed. She won't be able to take her place and will become a discarded woman.
Lu Yanzhou glanced at the faces of the media, knowing what they were thinking, and reiterated: "This little princess will be my only child."
What does it mean to be the only child?
An uproar erupted below.
Those who follow Weibo noticed that Lu Yanzhou posted a message at this moment.
[Lu Yanzhou V: Thank you to my baby for giving birth to our baby]
The accompanying picture shows Xia Weiwei's fingers being held by her baby's hand.
"Xia Weiwei and I were indeed pregnant out of wedlock."
That's outrageous. Xia Weiwei rose to power solely through her pregnancy.
"But without this baby, I would never have been able to marry Xia Weiwei."
"During our last meeting, I confessed my feelings to Xia Weiwei, but she rejected me harshly and told me that our relationship could only go this far, and we couldn't even develop into lovers."
"As for finding out she was pregnant..." Lu Yanzhou chuckled self-deprecatingly, "If I hadn't found out, she would have wanted to have an abortion by herself."
"It was through my persistent pleading and overcoming one difficult obstacle after another that she reluctantly agreed to marry me."
Everyone at the press conference and the viewers watching the live stream were stunned.
The Lu family of Hong Kong, a family with hundreds of years of history, and the sole heir of the Lu Group, are said to have begged Xia Weiwei to marry him, and that he was the one who used the child to rise to power.
"Before having a baby, I was probably Xia Weiwei's toy for relieving stress."
Everyone held their breath completely.
"Back then, as you all probably know now, Xia Weiwei was treated as a cash cow by her father. Working 360 days a year without a break put her under immense pressure. Only when she was with me, making love, could she relax a little."
“Every time she asks me out, it's just to do this one thing. After she does it, she puts on her skirt and leaves. I know that, but I always go whenever she asks me out.”
Is this still the arrogant Lu Yanzhou?
Xia Weiwei treated him like she was a dog.
He even eagerly let Xia Weiwei play with him.
It turns out that Xia Weiwei was the one in control.
As everyone gradually figured out the superior-subordinate relationship between the two, they felt dizzy and disoriented.
"From now on, I don't want to hear another word about Xia Weiwei's shameless premarital pregnancy. Every time I hear it, I will sue her until she goes bankrupt!"
Do you have any further questions?
there is none left.
Lu Yanzhou said everything that he should and shouldn't have said.
A moment of silence fell over Lu Yanzhou. He nodded, but then someone pressed him on whether he had signed a marriage agreement.
Lu Yanzhou sneered: "What, do you want to see the humiliating treaty I signed?"
Every clause he signed was beneficial to Xia Weiwei; one could say he was practically begging her and even offered her something in return, which is why Xia Weiwei reluctantly agreed.
Everyone is completely fine.
Lu Yanzhou was about to leave, but then he stayed.
“I have already sued the person who spread the rumors today, and I will not let those who stir up trouble online get away with it. I hope this is the last time.”
"Of course, this must be the last time."
Lu Yanzhou reverted to his arrogant and domineering self.
Everyone had no choice but to accept it.
The man who caused such a stir today is a die-hard fan of Xia Weiwei, who has been a fan of hers for five years.
He couldn't accept that his goddess was pregnant and had a child, so he secretly investigated and actually found out something.
However, he will never see the sun of freedom in the future.
After Lu Yanzhou left, the online trend suddenly reversed.
Holy crap, I'm praying to God! To be able to date a man like Lu Yanzhou!
[It's just for fun, really just pure fun!]
[All the top male models and male celebrities in the industry combined can't compare to Lu Yanzhou!]
[Weiwei suffered during that time, but she didn't suffer any physical pain!]
[So the two of them really did have sex in private!]
I really want to see it live!
When Xia Weiwei woke up, she read the follow-up report and was unaware that Lu Yanzhou had made so many explosive remarks.
As she read further, especially when the word "toy" appeared, she quickly turned down the tablet's volume. In her nervousness, she accidentally pressed the wrong button, and the volume suddenly became the highest.
Xia Weiwei: "!"
Help!
She quickly moved her finger down to mute the tablet, then glanced awkwardly at Bai Ying.
"It's nothing. I heard it during A-Zhou's interview."
"I don't know who he learned it from. It really proves what Grandpa said: sitting in the position of the empress while doing the dirty work of a mistress." Bai Ying's tone was calm, and her face was also calm.
Xia Weiwei blushed and felt shy.
"However, he is quite capable to have managed to marry you."
"Does it still hurt?"
Bai Ying peeled an apple and handed it to her.
It hurts, of course it hurts, but everyone's concern is like a painkiller for her, making the pain seem less intense.
Xia Weiwei was eating an apple when Bai Ying told the housekeeper that they must use an old hen.
Before long, Lu Yanzhou returned carrying the baby and stood at the head of her bed. He was surrounded by a golden light that warmed her.
"Honey, you're amazing! You gave birth to a baby girl, the one we've been waiting for!"
