Yan Shao felt that those few hours in the delivery room were definitely the most agonizing hours of his life.
As for Zhu Qianying, who was lying on the delivery bed, the pain was, of course, extremely intense.
But someone beside her kept encouraging her, gently wiping her sweat, and holding her sweaty hand tightly with their warm hand. All the pain seemed insignificant then.
Zhu Qianying endured the pain on the delivery bed for several hours, while Yan Shao stood by, heartbroken for the same amount of time, his thick eyebrows furrowed into a knot.
Finally, a clear and loud cry rang out, and the nurse holding the baby came over with a smile, "Young Master Yan, Mrs. Yan, congratulations, it's a baby girl!"
Yan Shao still held Zhu Qianying's hand tightly. Hearing what the nurse said, he didn't rush to see the baby. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her sweaty face. "Ying'er, you've worked so hard!"
Zhu Qianying winked at him, then turned her gaze toward the nurses.
Yan Shao then straightened up, turned to the nurse, and stretched out his arm to the baby he had longed for.
"Little baby, come here, let Daddy give you a hug."
The nurse glanced at the impeccably dressed young master Yan, saying nothing but her eyes filled with distrust.
Young Master Yan didn't care about other people's opinions. Or rather, at this moment, he only had eyes for his and Zhu Qianying's little baby, and no one else.
In order to make a great first impression on the baby, he watched many videos on how to hold a baby beforehand. In addition, the prenatal courses he took with Zhu Qianying also taught him how to hold a baby.
Therefore, although his posture when holding his baby daughter was a little stiff, it was perfectly correct.
The nurse watched in surprise as he took the baby.
"Young Master Yan, you actually know how to hug?"
The doctor who delivered the baby rolled his eyes at the nurse. "Have you forgotten that Young Master Yan already has a son who is over five years old?"
Yan Shao seemed not to hear what the nurse said. He held the baby and carefully imprinted the little girl's image into his mind.
The little girl, who had been crying loudly, stopped and stared at Yan Shao with her big, dark eyes.
Yan Shao stared at her intently, and in that one glance, his eyes reddened.
Although the little girl's eyelids were a bit swollen, and her skin was wrinkled, red, and dirty, Yan Shao didn't seem to notice anything. He lowered his head and kissed the little girl's cherry-like lips.
"Hi, little beauty, it's your daddy! Welcome!"
Young Master Yan was extremely excited and couldn't wait to hug his daughter and tell everyone that he had a little princess and a little sweetheart!
As if she could hear him, the pretty girl blinked, stuck out her little pink tongue, and licked her lips. Her adorable appearance melted Yan Shao's heart.
She couldn't help but kiss the little girl's face again, then turned around, carefully walked to the bedside, and half-squatted down so that Zhu Qianying could see the little baby's face.
"Ying'er, look, our precious daughter..."
At this point, Young Master Yan, who is usually calm and composed no matter what unexpected event occurs, actually trembled slightly in his voice!
Zhu Qianying didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, but upon hearing Yan Shao's words, she lowered her eyes and stared intently at the little girl in Yan Shao's arms whose face still had some blood on it.
She tried to reach out and touch the little girl, but found that her hand wouldn't move.
As if sensing her thoughts, Yan Shao held the baby in one arm and took her hand with the other, pressing it against the baby's face.
The baby had been looking around curiously with wide eyes, but when Zhu Qianying's palm touched her face, she wrinkled her delicate little nose, then turned her face to the side, put her mouth to Zhu Qianying's hand, and gently sucked on it. The expression on her little face was very gentle and full of enjoyment.
"It seems the little one is very familiar with your taste..." Yan Shao said enviously.
Zhu Qianying felt her daughter's warmth and touch with her fingertips, and her eyes unknowingly became wet.
Yan Shao noticed this and his eyes felt a little hot and dry.
He moved the baby closer, letting the baby's face touch Zhu Qianying's face. The baby waved its little hands and tried desperately to get its face closer to Zhu Qianying's. The soft little face rubbed against Zhu Qianying's face, and tears streamed down her face.
After the mother and daughter had finally finished being affectionate, Yan Shao handed the baby back to the nurse, who cleaned the baby up again before carrying the baby out of the delivery room.
Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, had to stay in the delivery room to undergo a series of postpartum cleaning and observation procedures.
As soon as Zizai saw the door open, he excitedly rushed over. Yan Shao, afraid that he would scare the little baby, quickly made a "shh" gesture with his lips.
The little guy stopped in front of him, stood on tiptoe, and glanced at the little girl's face with great interest. "Daddy, is it my little sister?"
The little guy seemed afraid of scaring his sister, so he asked in a low voice.
Young Master Yan smiled and nodded, and the little guy couldn't help but shout, "Yay!"
After shouting, she quickly covered her mouth.
The little baby in Yan Shao's arms probably thought the voice sounded familiar, so he turned his face and looked in the direction of the voice.
After the siblings' eyes met, the little one chewed its lips twice.
"Daddy, my little sister is calling me!"
Zizai happily pointed at the little baby's opening and closing mouth, naturally assuming that the little girl was calling "brother!"
Yan Shao didn't argue, but just let Zizai tease the little girl's chubby face with his little hands.
Yan Bo and Madam Yan had already gathered around. Upon hearing that it was a little girl, Madam Yan smiled broadly and nodded, saying, "Good, very good!"
Yan Bo also smiled and said, "Yes, now our family finally has a complete set of 'good' characters!"
Although they are not old-fashioned, having both a son and a daughter is the dream of every parent.
"Come here, let Grandma give you a hug..."
Old Madam Yan reached out to take the baby, but Young Master Yan hesitated for a moment, seemingly reluctant to give it up.
Madam Yan glared at him, and only then did he obediently hand over his daughter.
Madam Yan smiled from ear to ear, staring at the little girl for a long while before saying, "Xiao Han, the baby seems to look more like Ying'er."
Yan Shao had seen photos of Zhu Qianying when she was a child, and this little girl looked at least seven or eight parts like Zhu Qianying.
"Yes, like a shadow, very beautiful!"
Ever since he reconciled with Zhu Qianying, he had always wanted a daughter who looked exactly like her, and now, his wish had finally come true.
Because Zizai was short, he couldn't see the little girl's full appearance. Now, after hearing his father and grandmother's comments about his sister's appearance, he clung to Yan Shao's clothes, wanting Yan Shao to pick him up.
"Let me see, let me see..."
Young Master Yan picked him up, and he wrapped one arm around Young Master Yan's neck, leaned over to take a good look at his sister, and pouted, saying, "What? My sister looks just like me..."
