Chapter 139 So Ugly
"hiss……"
As the contractions struck, Su Xiangwan gasped in pain.
"Wife..." Gu Yanxiao looked at her pained appearance and felt as if his heart was being ripped apart. He quickly bent down and gently hugged her, saying, "Wife, if you are in pain, pinch me, pinch me hard."
After the pain subsided, Su Xiangwan opened her eyes and looked at his face, which was even worse than hers. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Fortunately, I can still bear the pain now."
The uterus dilates to ten fingers, and this is not just a saying; the pain becomes more and more terrible as it progresses.
The pain you're experiencing now is just an appetizer.
"The pain I'm experiencing now..."
Hearing Su Xiangwan's words, Gu Yanxiao felt even more heartbroken.
During this time, he also learned a lot about pregnant women and new mothers.
But that was just a pale explanation on paper.
Now, looking at his delicate and gentle wife, he sees her in so much pain that sweat is beading on her forehead.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
"Wife, let's have only this one child. After this one, we'll never have any more, okay?"
His wife, the pampered heiress of Shanghai's richest family, how could she have endured such pain if it weren't for him?
"You said it."
The contractions struck again, and Su Xiangwan looked at Gu Yanxiao with red eyes.
"If I have a daughter this time, will you not have any more children?"
"I'm not having any more children, whether it's a boy or a girl!"
Gu Yanxiao held her hand and felt Su Xiangwan gripping it tightly, clearly enduring great pain.
"Remember your words, if... you dare to make me give birth again, I'll... cut you off!"
Su Xiangwan said through gritted teeth, "There's no way around it, it just hurts too much!"
"Doctor...doctor..."
Seeing her like this, Gu Yanxiao quickly called for a doctor.
After the doctor was called in, he conducted an examination.
"It's only dilated to two centimeters so far, it's still a long way off!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxiao's face turned terrifyingly dark: "What do you mean 'it's still early'?"
"This is her first pregnancy, so the timing is uncertain. She could be in labor for several days, or at the fastest, it could take six or seven hours."
The doctor said this, then turned and went back to his work.
Fortunately, at that moment, Aunt Liu arrived with chicken soup and steamed buns.
"Young Miss, it's still early. Quickly eat something so you won't be too weak later!"
As she spoke, Aunt Liu considerately divided the chicken soup into small bowls to cool it down, and then picked up a steamed bun for Su Xiangwan to eat first.
"Yes! Daughter, eat something first, save some energy." Gu's mother looked at her with red eyes, her eyes full of heartache, "Daughter, you've suffered!"
"Sister-in-law, you've worked so hard." Gu Yan looked at Su Xiangwan, whose face was pale and bloodless, with red eyes.
Su Xiangwan knew that this was not the time to be petty, so she took advantage of the intervals between contractions to eat two steamed buns and drink a large bowl of chicken soup.
Three hours later, Su Xiangwan was finally wheeled into the delivery room.
The others were left outside the delivery room, waiting anxiously.
Gu Yanxiao felt that even when he was shot and teetering on the brink of death, he had never been as nervous as he was today.
Every minute and every second was an unspeakable torment for him.
"Why hasn't she given birth yet..." Gu Yanxiao paced back and forth outside the delivery room, her eyes bloodshot.
"Finally, around 1 p.m., the door to the delivery room was opened."
"Su Xiangwan's family..."
The nurse came out carrying the child.
“Here, we are all Su Xiangwan’s family members.”
Father Gu, Mother Gu, Gu Yanfei, Aunt Liu, Li Chengyu, and others rushed forward in a swarm.
Gu Yanxiao staggered and found that his legs were so weak that they were almost unbearable.
This delay caused him to fall behind the others by several steps.
The nurse was taken aback by the large number of people present. Seeing the eager expressions on their faces, she quickly said, "Su Xiangwan has given birth to a boy. Both mother and child are safe. This is the baby... which one of you is the father?"
Everyone quickly made way, and Gu Yanxiao finally squeezed in, but he didn't even glance at the baby in the nurse's arms. Instead, he asked, "Where's my wife?"
The nurse hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to hand the half-delivered child to Gu Yanxiao, who hadn't even glanced at the child, or to take the child back.
Fortunately, Gu's mother, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and reached out her hand: "I am the child's grandmother, please give me the child! By the way, how is my daughter-in-law? When will she be able to come out?"
The nurse breathed a sigh of relief, quickly handed the baby to Ms. Gu, and replied, "The mother is still in the delivery room getting stitched up. She'll be wheeled out once the stitching is finished..."
Gu Yanxiao swayed again after hearing the word "stitching".
The word "stitching" remained in my mind.
Suture?
My wife is so afraid of pain...
How terrified she must have been to have stitches done to her...
Mr. Gu reached out and steadied Gu Yanxiao, saying, "Don't worry, the nurse said that both mother and child are safe."
Gu Yanxiao wiped her face, removing the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Dad, Mom, you should go back to the ward first! I'll wait for Xiang Wan here."
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course we'll wait for her here together!"
Gu's mother rolled her eyes at her son.
This silly son of yours, you know, a woman's emotions are most sensitive right after giving birth.
This is also the time when the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is most tested. If they all leave, leaving Gu Yanxiao alone here.
After the wife was pushed out, she must have felt a moment of disappointment.
Even for a fleeting moment, Gu's mother would not allow such behavior to occur in her daughter-in-law.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the delivery room door opened again, and a nurse pushed Su Xiangwan out.
"young married woman……"
This time, Gu Yanxiao was the first to rush to Su Xiangwan's side.
He carefully took Su Xiangwan's hand: "Wife, you've suffered!"
Su Xiangwan met Gu Yanxiao's red and swollen eyes and was stunned for a moment: Gu Yanxiao... is crying?!
Who could have imagined that Gu Yanxiao, a man of unwavering integrity, would not shed a single tear, even when shot and facing mortal danger?
One day, I actually cried!
"I'm fine, it's all in the past now, isn't it?" Su Xiangwan felt as if everything was in a dream.
She actually gave birth to a child!
She's a mother!
Where are the children?
Su Xiangwan asked.
"It's here!"
Finally, Gu's mother found a chance to speak, and brought the child to Su Xiangwan, saying something.
Su Xiangwan glanced at the wrinkled baby in the swaddling clothes, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. This wrinkled little thing, with its face twisting and turning like a monkey, was her child.
"He's so ugly!"
