Chapter 252 "Extra 9" The birth of a baby

Lou Yanjing's whole body froze for a moment.

He raised his eyelashes in shock, and it felt as if fireworks were going off in his mind. Li Zhi's words unexpectedly sent chills down his spine.

For a long while.

Lou Yan Kyoto was a little slow to react.

He felt even more mixed emotions: "Pregnant?!"

He held Li Zhi's arm and pushed her away slightly so that he could look into her eyes when he lowered his eyes.

The moment I got the news.

He had never expected to have a child, so besides being shocked, he was ecstatic, and even his heartbeat was speeding up crazily.

But then he suddenly came to his senses.

It doesn't seem right for him to be so ecstatic that he can't wait to show off to his friends.

After all, they have no plans to have a baby now, and he has promised several times that having children will never affect his wife's health and career advancement.

But now it is obvious that he has not been able to keep his promise.

Lou Yanjing frowned slightly, suppressed his joy and began to reflect: "How could she be pregnant? We clearly wore it the whole time..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Lou Yanjing suddenly realized that pregnancy seemed unlikely to happen.

He has never been careless about contraception!

So Lou Yanjing lowered his eyes and observed Li Zhi's expression. As expected, he saw his wife raising her face coquettishly, looking up at him with a smile, as if she was looking forward to his reaction.

Lou Yanjing's heart was beating wildly.

The fire in my heart was extinguished in an instant.

He felt a dull pain in his throat, a feeling of ecstasy followed by the realization that he had been deceived. But when he calmed down, he still felt unwilling to accept the situation, which was stuck in his chest and made him feel annoyed with himself.

Lou Yanjing raised his hands and held Li Zhi's cheeks.

He was in such a hurry on the road that he was caught in a cold dew when he came back from the courtyard, and the temperature of his palms was cooler than usual.

The man leaned over and put his forehead against hers. He sighed deeply, but his tone to Li Zhi was still gentle: "Zhizhi, don't joke about this."

He really couldn't stand it.

Ecstasy and disappointment were like a roller coaster, with his emotions controlled by his pounding heart, which was unbearable.

But he had just finished speaking.

Li Zhi suddenly handed him the pregnancy test stick.

Lou Yanjing froze for a moment, then reached out and snatched it away after he reacted. His heart, which had been sinking with a feeling of loss, suddenly began beating violently again.

He turned the pregnancy test stick over to see the side that showed the result.

Two clear and prominent bars!

Now Lou Yanjing's brain was completely confused. He raised his eyelashes in shock and looked at Li Zhi again.

As if in disbelief.

He looked back at the pregnancy test stick several times.

He frowned, his expression complicated: "Is this thing really a pregnancy test stick? Not some COVID-19 test strip?"

The damn COVID-19 test paper has fooled him before.

When Qi Jiashu posted the picture on his WeChat Moments, he thought Sang was pregnant, so he immediately transferred a huge red envelope to congratulate his wife on becoming a father before she even got married.

But he didn't have time to say congratulations.

Qi Jiashu was the first to reach out on WeChat.

【|】：?

【|】：What does it mean?

【|】: I am yang, not dead.

【|】：Will you transfer the funeral expenses to me?

It is impossible for Jing to attend the same banquet twice.

He doesn't want to be a father anyway.

But Li Zhi looked at him with clear eyes, and Qin Shui'er smiled: "It's true."

"Lou Yanjing." She relaxed inexplicably and said in a light tone, "You are going to be a father."

The fireworks started going off again in my mind.

Lou Yanjing almost immediately picked up Li Zhi in a princess hug, with flames dancing in his dark eyes: "Really? Are you really not lying to me? I'm going to be a father?"

Li Zhi hugged his neck and smiled brightly.

Although the baby came into her world unexpectedly, even before it happened, she was repulsed by it and felt that it would not be of any benefit to her career.

But when he actually arrived, Li Zhi felt filled with joy and even had endless expectations.

Even though it was late at night.

But Lou Yanjing immediately took Lizhi to the hospital for emergency treatment to make sure that this was not a false alarm.

The hospital examination results came out.

Li Zhi found out that she was six weeks pregnant.

There was really no delay in her period due to fatigue, but because she was too careless, she didn't realize she was pregnant until the baby was almost two months old.

Lou Yanjing announced it to his friends circle.

Qi Jiashu called and complained: "Lou Yanjing, you are a fucking beast! You have broken your promise, right? You promised not to get my sister pregnant!"

Lou Yanjing crossed his legs calmly.

Just now in the hospital, he had completely digested the fact that his wife was pregnant. He had suppressed his excitement, but he still couldn't hide his secret joy and happiness.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, what a surprise."

Qi Jiashu: "I'm talking about a bullshit accident! There is no way there could be an accident like this!"

He was so angry that he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I was so angry that I pulled away and put on my pants halfway through: "Tell me the truth! You put it on halfway through, you calculated the safe period to avoid it, or you used it outside the body, which one did you do?"

When Sang Ying heard this, his forehead twitched twice.

She tried to persuade Qi Jiaojiao to calm down, but before she could, a smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Zhi suddenly came closer and said, "Second brother, you are going to be an uncle soon, please don't expose the essence of the Chinese nation and harm my baby."

Qi Jiashu: “…”

His anger instantly dissipated when Li Zhi said he wanted to be his uncle.

Li Zhi clarified on behalf of her husband: "It was really an accident. If you want to blame someone, blame the poor quality of the burp bag."

Qi Jiashu: “…”

He put his hand against his forehead and took another deep breath.

My sister is leaning over and protecting that dog, what can he, an outsider, say?

But the quality is not good...

Well, he does believe it.

"How many months?" Qi Jiashu gradually accepted the reality.

Li Zhi came closer and spoke in a brisk tone: "Six..."

"It's already six months old and Lou Xiaojue is about to give birth, and you just told us?" Qi Jiashu was furious.

He even forgot that he had only seen his sister over the weekend.

I don't have such a big belly.

There is no way the child could be six months old.

Li Zhi muttered softly, "It's only been six weeks."

Qi Jiashu: “…”

Sang Ying's laughter echoed in the distance, and she taunted her husband: "What a fool."

Qi Jiashu: “…”

Qi Jiashu scolded Lou Yanjing here, and halfway through he turned to care about Li Zhi's health, and then a series of questions were raised -

Is your baby healthy?

Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?

Zhizhi, are you feeling unwell anywhere?

When is the expected date of delivery?

Should I go to a confinement center or hire a confinement nanny?

What is the child's name?

Where will the full moon banquet be held?

Lou Yanjing's forehead was throbbing with veins at his question, and he wanted to hang up the phone immediately. Before hanging up, it would be best to pull the person out of the phone and give him a big slap in the face.

On the other side, the family group set off fireworks.

[Yu Lanci]: Eh? That's it? You see, loving couples really can't be too full of themselves, right?

[Qi Heqing]: Do you plan to take it?

[Qi Yubai]: How is Zhizhi now?

[Su Sang]: Congratulations [Fireworks] Zhizhi, is your pregnancy serious? Jingjing, you are not allowed to bully pregnant women!

【楼枭】: [Transfer 999999999 million yuan]

[Su Sang]: …

Li Zhi's pregnancy has attracted a lot of attention.

In the comment section of Lou Yanjing Xuanwa's circle of friends, Pei Ji and Sheng Jinan took the lead, and the comments were all awesome.

But when Fu Yanxia arrived, his painting style suddenly changed.

[Fu Yanxia]: Holy shit!

[Fu Yanxia]: Damn Lou Yanjing!

[Fu Yanxia]: Little Lizhi! You didn’t even tell me in person that you were pregnant! You let me know from my rival’s circle of friends!

【Fu Yanxia】: Shrimp and pork heart.

Li Zhi smiled and comforted him: "No, he posted it on WeChat Moments too quickly, and I didn't have time to tell you."

Fu Yanxia pretended to be angry: "Humph!"

Li Zhi blinked her eyelashes lightly: "How should I comfort her?"

Fu Yanxia climbed down the stairs: "I don't care! I must accompany you to the next pregnancy checkup! And, after the baby is born, he must recognize me as his only godmother!"

Li Zhi nodded quickly and said it was no problem.

Fu Yanxia hesitated and said, "But... is it true? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to perform on stage for nearly a year?"

In fact, Li Zhi was also worried about this problem.

But when the baby was really born, her mood became calm instead.

She tilted her head and thought, "I'll just give birth when the baby comes. Who says women have to choose between family and career? Didn't a few variety shows just happen to invite me to be a mentor or judge? It's like I have work to do and it won't interfere with my career."

"Besides..."

"Not performing on stage doesn't mean I am limited in my abilities, nor does it mean I have to give up my career for the sake of my children. It also doesn't mean pregnant women can't dance."

"It's just that I have a responsibility to the audience and to my own body. After I give birth, I will definitely come back. The China National Ballet has no other young leading actress who can replace me."

Fu Yanxia admired Li Zhi's mentality.

But at the same time, I was sincerely convinced by her, as if I unconditionally believed that she could do it.

It is said that dancers have a short flowering period.

It's hard to bounce back after pregnancy.

But Li Zhi insists on growing in the most intense direction, refusing to wither or admit defeat, extending its flowering period to the longest possible.

Qin Shuang felt heartbroken.

She felt very sorry that the top dancer of the National Ballet of China had to take such a long vacation to have a baby. She was extremely worried whether she could recover her physical condition and asked Lin Shiruan to persuade her.

Lin Shiruan fully understood Qin Shuang's concerns and strengths.

After all, Qin Shuang was once the most outstanding principal dancer in the National Ballet of China. However, because she became pregnant and had a child, she was replaced by a young dancer who had just joined the troupe, and the latecomer took over.

She was also very ambitious when she was young.

She continued to practice even during her pregnancy, and vowed to do her best to recover after giving birth.

But things don't always go as planned.

The girl who went into the operating room never came out.

Qin Shuang had a very difficult delivery. The baby pressed on the fourth vertebra of her spine, causing compression of the spinal nerves. When she was about to get out of bed after giving birth, she found that her right foot was numb and her leg was almost paralyzed.

From then on, she had to move behind the scenes.

Leave the stage.

Become the group leader step by step.

Therefore, Qin Shuang was really upset and overwhelmed when Li Zhi wanted to have a baby at the peak of her career.

She wanted to persuade her, but she felt that she had no position to speak of. In fact, because she had a conflict with Li Zhi before, if she rushed over rashly, she might be misunderstood.

Lin Shiruan understood what she meant.

But she couldn't do that.

She could not interfere with any of Lizhi's decisions, and she believed that she knew what having a child meant, so she didn't need to be persuaded.

The Qi and Lou families naturally understood it better.

Since learning that Li Zhi was pregnant, everyone has been extremely concerned about her physical condition and the baby's health.

Yu Lanci found a gynecologist in Hong Kong for her.

She had a nutritionist for all three meals a day and even a pregnancy Pilates trainer to help her stay in shape.

Even Lin Shiruan would come to practice ballet with her from time to time, for she was afraid that she would be too strong and hurt herself.

The baby is very well behaved.

He had never been tormented in Li Zhi's belly.

Even during the most uncomfortable early pregnancy period, she didn't have any pregnancy relapses. She was like an angel.

Instead, Lou Yanjing treated her like a porcelain doll.

He almost wanted to tie someone to his belt every day, for fear that something might happen out of his sight.

Fortunately, it didn't.

Li Zhi's due date is November 8th.

She and the baby are in good condition. They have passed several pregnancy tests successfully and their weight is within the perfect range.

At 36 weeks.

Lou Yanjing then left the company to his father again, and accompanied Yu Lanci and Qi Heqing to the port city with Li Zhi to wait for the birth of the baby.

Qin Shuang was also worried from afar.

Although she knew that Li Zhi might not appreciate her kindness, she still repeatedly sent WeChat messages to emphasize to her that she must communicate well with the anesthesiologist and must not have the same problem as her.

Li Zhi was grateful.

Lin Shiruan told her Qin Shuang's story. Although it did not shake her, it made her extremely cautious.

She thanked Qin Shuang.

Yu Lanci also repeatedly told the doctor to put Li Zhi's health first no matter what happened.

November 8th.

The sky in the port city is very clear.

Li Zhi gave birth on time on the morning of her due date, and her family rushed her to the hospital.

Qi Yubai also rushed back to the port city two days in advance.

Lou Xiao briefly gave up his job and threw the company's chores to Ying Xun for supervision, but was also pulled over by Su Sang.

Qi Jiashu had already brought Sang Ying over, looking forward to witnessing his precious nephew/niece land safely.

By the way, take Sang Ying to see her future production environment.

At that time, Sang Ying was also pregnant.

Li Zhi was still a little nervous, but Lou Yanjing was more nervous than her. The man pushed her into the delivery room and held her hand tightly, his palms full of cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid." He whispered to comfort her, "I'll be outside, waiting for you and the child to come out safely."

The nervous Li Zhi was amused by Lou Yanjing.

She had never seen a man who was always so arrogant, but now he was so panicked about such a thing. Instead, she was the one who comforted the child's father: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

Qi Jiashu was speechless watching from the side.

He pulled Lou Yanjing away and said, "Enough, you little idiot, you've made a fool of yourself. Let Zhizhi in quickly."

Only then did Lou Yanjing let go of Li Zhi.

But the sweat on her palms was still lingering as she watched the doctor push her into the delivery room and waited outside for every minute.

Until a few hours later.

Finally, I heard the cry of a newborn baby.
