Chapter 774 Put the child down! (Two chapters combined)
Gu Yin saw that Meng Yu's face had turned a little pale, but his spirits were still good, so she was no longer worried. It seemed that her guess was correct.
"Wife! How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?" Yue Zemin immediately stepped forward, looking her up and down with concern.
Meng Yu smiled and shook her head: "I'm just a little tired, nothing serious! The baby is fine too, I'm sorry to have worried you!" Apart from some pain during childbirth and some exhaustion afterward, she didn't suffer much. Not to mention her, even the doctors were surprised and said that her physical condition was too good.
Meng Yu's mother reached out and took the baby from Meng Yu's arms, smiling as she said, "I'll hold the baby. You just gave birth, so don't carry heavy things! You seem to be in good spirits! Are you hungry? I've already asked the housekeeper to bring some food!"
Meng Yu nodded: "I am indeed hungry!"
The group returned to the ward, and the child was placed on the bed. While Meng Yu was talking to his family, Gu Yin sat down by the bed. Looking at the fair-skinned and very fragile child in front of her, her heart softened. She reached out and carefully touched the child's exposed little hand.
"Isn't it very soft?" Chu Yan squatted down as well and asked with a smile.
Previously, one of his secretaries had also given birth. Her parents were temporarily unable to help take care of the baby, so she brought the baby to the company. The company has a mother and baby room and a nanny to take care of the baby. This was a benefit that his mother specially arranged for the female colleagues in the company.
He had seen the child up close a few times when the child was brought over. The child was tiny and soft, and none of his unmarried colleagues at the company dared to touch him, for fear of hurting him.
Gu Yin nodded, compared her own hand with the child's, and said softly, "So small! So soft! I dare not touch it, but it's so cute! So cuddly!"
Chu Yan also squatted down and touched the baby's hand, smiling as he said, "It's really cute. New life, it's amazing."
A soft and cuddly little person grows up so quickly, as if blown by the wind, going through school, working, starting a family, and growing old. Life is truly great and amazing!
"Aren't newborns supposed to be all wrinkled and red? How come our baby is so fair and clean? He looks so chubby and cute!"
Seeing the curious looks on Gu Yin and Chu Yan's faces, Meng Yu and his wife smiled and looked over.
Since the child was born, Yue Zemin hadn't had a proper look at him. But now, seeing the two talking, he took a closer look at his child and asked curiously.
Meng's mother smiled and said, "Not all babies are wrinkled and red. There are also fair-skinned and lovely children. But I've never seen a child as good-looking and fair-skinned as ours! It means she was well-fed in the womb, or it could be genetic. When I gave birth to Ah Yu, she was also fair-skinned, but she still had some wrinkles, after all, she had been in the amniotic fluid for so long!"
Meng Yu touched his daughter's chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "The things I was worried about before didn't happen when I gave birth to her, and I didn't suffer much. This child came to repay a debt of gratitude."
Gu Yin and Chu Yan didn't say anything upon hearing this. They watched the child for a while longer, and then went back home after the food from the Meng family's aunt arrived.
In the car, Chu Yan held Gu Yin's hand and said gently, "I meant everything I said at the hospital. Not to mention the dangers of childbirth, she has also experienced all sorts of inconveniences and discomforts during these past ten months. You are so busy, and your research projects are important. I don't want this to delay your work or make you suffer. Most importantly, I don't want to lose you. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I won't give it up."
While waiting for Meng Yu to come out, he went online to look up a lot of information and found that in addition to the technology and the mother's physical condition, there are also some accidents that happen unexpectedly.
For a child who is ethereal, nonexistent, and has no feelings for anyone, Gu Yin is the most important person in her life, and no one is worth her risking her life for!
Seeing his serious and earnest expression, Gu Yin smiled helplessly and said, "Aren't you overthinking this? I'm still young! Why think about it so early? I'll have different ideas every now and then. When it's time to make a choice, we can discuss it slowly. Don't think about it so much now."
Gu Yin had never really thought about having a child. Whether or not to have one was a small matter for her, not as troublesome as an experiment.
Chu Yan nodded, but she had already made up her mind to inform her family later so that they could also prepare themselves mentally.
The doctor originally wanted Meng Yu to stay in the hospital for three days for observation, and if there were no problems, she could be discharged. The next day, Chu Yan had to go abroad for work. After school in the afternoon, Gu Yin took the meal that the old lady had prepared to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, only Meng Yu was there. Gu Yin frowned: "Where's Senior Brother? Why isn't anyone here watching over him?"
Meng Yu had just finished feeding the child when Gu Yin walked in with a thermal container.
"Why did you come here?" After the child finished eating and didn't cry, Meng Yu put the child on the bed.
The VIP room has beds as big as those at home, and the furnishings are so cozy, it's like a princess's room. It's specially prepared for wealthy patients in the obstetrics and gynecology department, so Meng Yu doesn't have to worry about the baby falling off the bed.
Gu Yin placed the lunchbox on the dining table and was about to help Meng Yu up when she saw Meng Yu get up and walk over without any apparent problem.
"It's been restored?" Gu Yin asked in confusion.
Meng Yu sat down and nodded: "There are no problems at all. I will be discharged tomorrow morning. There is a problem at the lab that requires your senior brother to go over. My dad also has something to do. My mom went back to prepare lunch at noon and will be over in a bit. I didn't expect you to come first. Thank you so much! I'll tell my mom not to bring too much."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yu looked at the simple yet plentiful meal in front of him and chuckled softly, "Did you make this meal for me using things you brought back from the mountains? The fact that I was able to give birth so quickly and recover so fast must be because I've been eating rice from there a lot lately! Right?"
Otherwise, how could she have given birth so quickly and recovered so amazingly? She was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so they wouldn't let her have her blood drawn today!
Gu Yin smiled and said, "There should be some connection. It's mainly because you've taken good care of yourself. Alright, senior sister, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Meng Yu nodded upon hearing this. Some things are best left unsaid; they're all family, so there's no need for words of thanks. They'll keep it in their hearts.
After the meal, Madam Meng also arrived.
Seeing Gu Yin there, her eyes were full of smiles: "It'll take me a while to go back and make some soup, but A-Yin got here before me! I'm so grateful that you brought food over! Have you eaten yet? I brought some food that we can eat! Shall we have some together?"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "I ate before coming. My home is close to here, and my grandma prepared it after she got home. It's no trouble at all, just a quick thing. My senior sister has been very kind and caring to me at school and in every other way. Besides, she's my senior sister, not an outsider, so please don't be so polite!"
Meng Yu smiled and said, "That's right, Mom. You don't need to be so polite. Ayin is no stranger to us!"
Seeing this, Mencius' mother no longer stood on ceremony and said with a smile, "Then I'll eat it myself. I came over before I even ate, and there was traffic on the way. I was worried you were hungry!"
With his mother and Gu Yin both there, Meng Yu got up to get his things: "I feel more at ease with someone around. I'm going to wipe myself down. I was covered in sweat yesterday and wanted to wipe myself down, but the doctor said he was worried about me catching a cold or getting a fever, and told me to do it today if I'm okay!"
Mencius' mother nodded upon hearing this: "Just listen to the doctor. Can you manage on your own? Do you need my help?"
Meng Yu quickly stopped her, saying, "It's okay! I can do it myself, I'll just wipe it down! I'll be careful!" After saying that, she took her things and went into the bathroom.
Just two minutes after Meng Yu went in, the nurse knocked on the door and came in.
Are your family members here?
Upon hearing this, Meng's mother put down her chopsticks: "Yes, I'm here! What's wrong, nurse?"
"Here's the thing, Ms. Meng is being discharged tomorrow, right? Tomorrow is the weekend, and some departments are closed. The director asked you family members to go and sign and stamp the documents in advance so you don't need to come back on Monday. If you're not available now, you can do it when you come for your next check-up. We were just worried you might forget, so we came to ask."
Meng's mother immediately stood up: "I'll go with you. Let's not wait until next time. It'll be troublesome if we forget next time. Ayin, you stay here and watch over her until your sister comes out. Don't leave, understand?"
Meng's mother knew that Gu Yin was exceptionally strong and intelligent, so she felt comfortable letting her help keep an eye on things here.
Gu Yin nodded: "You may go."
After Meng's mother left, Gu Yin got up and closed the door, and a breeze came in.
Just as she sat down, the door was pushed open again, and a nurse came in and said gently, "It's time to take your child for a check-up. Sign here, we'll take you away, and bring you back after the check-up is done."
After the nurse finished speaking, another nurse came in from the doorway and urged, "Hurry up! Tomorrow's the weekend, and we have a lot of work to do today. So many children are waiting for their checkups! If you keep dawdling, it looks like we'll have to give you another training session tonight!"
The nurse inside bowed her head and handed the examination form to Gu Yin: "Please sign this!"
Gu Yin took the child and was about to look at it when she saw the other person walk to the child's side and pick up the child. Gu Yin quickly went over to stop them: "The child's mother is in the bathroom and will be out soon. Please wait a while, or you can go to another ward first and wait for the child's family to come out before we go over. It's okay if we are the last ones, alright?"
As Gu Yin spoke, she gestured for her to return the child.
The man refused, saying, "Everything has been arranged—which child will have their check-up at which time. If you interrupt, the data will be entered incorrectly, and who will take responsibility? Sign it now!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin frowned and said, "Then I'll go with you. Since you're in such a hurry, I'll take a quick look on the way and sign it after I've finished. First of all, let me clarify that I'm not the child's parent. Can I sign it?"
The nurse outside also came in carrying the child. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "No! Only immediate family members can sign! We'll go over first. You wait for the child's family to come out, sign, and then come back! Bring the child over! You're really wasting time! Everyone's child is a child, don't make a fuss!"
"What kind of attitude is this! I'm coming out right now! I'll sign! Wait for me to put on my pants!" Meng Yu couldn't hold back any longer when he heard the nurse's words in the bathroom. He shouted as he dressed!
Upon hearing Meng Yu's voice, the two people paused for a moment. The nurse at the door came over and stood in front of Gu Yin, smiling and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm a little down at work today, and my attitude isn't quite right. I hope you won't complain! Thank you for your help!"
Gu Yin looked at the woman whose eyes were only visible because of the mask she was wearing and nodded: "We understand, and we hope you can understand the parents' concerns as well."
"Stop! What are you doing! Put the child down!" As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, the nurse behind her, carrying the child, walked past the nurse in front of her and headed towards the door.
Gu Yin immediately moved over and grabbed her shoulder, saying sternly, "You tried to take the child outside without the parents' permission! What's going on with you?!"
"Oh dear, you're such a chatterbox and a waste of time! Your child is the most precious thing! Let go of my hand, and I'll give you the child!" The woman rolled her eyes speechlessly after being caught, and told Gu Yin to let go.
Gu Yin did not let go of her hands when she heard this, but the nurse next to her came over, hugged the child and scolded, "There are still children here, what are you pulling at! What if the child falls down!" After saying that, she turned around and put one of the children on the bed.
"Remember to sign, and then take your child to the third floor for a medical check-up!" She then looked at the nurse at the door: "Hurry up! Stop taking so long!"
Gu Yin released the man's shoulder, walked to the bedside and looked at the baby. The baby had just been born. Due to Meng Yu's special circumstances, the baby was prettier than others. The baby on the bed was indeed fair and clean, but Gu Yin felt that something was wrong. She reached out to lift the baby's blanket and immediately discovered the problem!
Gu Yin turned around and quickly walked to the door. She opened the door, looked at the two people not far away, and immediately scolded, "Stop! Children, you've got the wrong person!"
As soon as Gu Yin spoke, the two people didn't stop walking; instead, they walked even faster!
"Stop right now or I'll call for help!"
Even though it's already after get off work hours, there are still many people in the maternity ward!
Everyone who heard Gu Yin's voice looked up.
"Head Nurse, what should we do? Should we leave or not?" Many people looked at them. The young nurse felt nervous. She was just following the head nurse's instructions and working normally, but she felt that something was not right. They were nurses, not human traffickers. What was going on with all this sneaking around?
"Calm down! We'll follow hospital procedures! It's okay!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw some people in military uniforms walking towards her not far ahead. The head nurse paused and immediately turned around.
Gu Yin had already walked behind her. The head nurse's heart tightened, and she smiled helplessly, saying, "Young lady, I'm waiting for you over there. You've been delaying my work. I'm really at my wit's end!"
Gu Yin ignored her and reached out to touch the baby's swaddle blanket. Sure enough!
Gu Yin looked coldly at the head nurse in front of her: "Didn't you notice that the babies were switched?"
The head nurse's eyes widened in surprise: "How could this be! You saw the child with your own eyes when I put her on the bed, there's no way I could have made a mistake! Young lady, you really must have mistaken her!"
Gu Yin pointed to the child in her arms and said, "This swaddle blanket belongs to my family. Give me the child!"
The head nurse laughed upon hearing this: "The baby blankets are all the same! It's normal for them to be the same style! We have tons of the same style in our hospital! There really wasn't a mix-up!"
