Cheng Qicai didn't expect that after that Chinese New Year, she would have fewer and fewer messages with Gu Rongqi. It wasn't that Gu Rongqi had become indifferent, but rather that he seemed to have become very busy.
She would occasionally go back and look at the little lamp in the acrylic box, and a strange sense of melancholy and loneliness would wash over her.
Before they knew it, the day arrived for Yun Suni to give birth.
When Cheng Qicai received a call from Ms. Yun saying that Yun Su Ni's water had broken, she felt a moment of panic.
Once she found out the hospital's location, she hurriedly took a taxi straight to the hospital entrance.
When she arrived, a crowd had already gathered outside the delivery room: Lu Qi, Yun Rucheng, Song Luo, Lu Qi's parents...
Slightly out of breath, Cheng Qicai walked up to Ms. Yun and asked, "Mom, how long has my sister been inside?"
Ms. Yun replied, "It's been over an hour."
Cheng Qicai looked at the tightly closed door and found a place to sit down.
She could see Lu Qi peering through the window of the delivery room across the way. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a few beads of sweat on his forehead and his clasped hands were pale, indicating that he was very nervous.
A group of people sat and stood intermittently, frequently glancing at the door of the delivery room.
Another hour passed, and the door to the delivery room opened. A midwife carrying a baby came out, and the group of people immediately surrounded her.
After the midwife read out the baby's vital signs, she looked around at the people gathered around and asked, "Which of you will take the baby first?"
I've heard that there's a lot to consider when the first person holds a baby; whoever holds the baby will resemble them.
All eyes turned to Lu Qi.
"I...I'll go in and check on Su Ni first. You...you all see who should hold her." Lu Qi, whose voice was usually firm and resolute, stammered and trembled.
His composed image has vanished.
Cheng Qicai watched as he walked into the delivery room, his movements slow and stiff, like a zombie from Plants vs. Zombies.
Cheng Qicai craned her neck and leaned closer to see the child's face clearly.
After discussing it, the group decided that Song Luo would hold the baby first, and then each of them would hold it for a while before handing it over to the midwife.
Cheng Qicai was the last to hold him. When she took her little nephew from Ms. Yun, she felt not only the soft weight in her arms, but also her heart melting.
The next second, she saw the baby smiling at her, and she excitedly told the others, "He's smiling at me!"
"Oh, really! So many of us hugged him, and he didn't smile at us at all, only at the very end. It seems he'll really like you as his aunt from now on," Song Luo said with a smile.
"Haha...that's great." Cheng Qicai happily handed the baby back to the midwife.
After seeing the baby, Yun Suni was also wheeled out of the delivery room.
Everyone gathered around to look at Yun Su Ni by the bedside. Cheng Qi Cai saw that apart from her pale face, her spirits were still good.
After spending some time with Yun Su Ni, Cheng Qi Cai and the others left.
After so much time, Cheng Qicai's store is now basically running smoothly, and the foot traffic has also stabilized.
She now spends much less time at the store, giving her more free time.
When she has free time, she goes to visit Yun Suni and see her little nephew.
Lu Qi and his family's child is named Lu Yiyuan. Even as an infant, the nephew is already handsome. Cheng Qicai remarked that the children born to the male and female protagonists in novels are indeed all handsome.
However, if the parents have good genes, the child shouldn't be too bad either.
Looking at Lu Yiyuan's smiling face every time she hugged him, she thought, "When Lu Yiyuan grows up to be a domineering CEO, he probably won't be the cool and arrogant type like Lu Qi, right?"
Lu Qi's family now has a live-in nanny and a postpartum caregiver, so Yun Suni is very relaxed and looks like she has recovered very well.
Compared to her previous temperament, she now possesses a more mature charm, making her even more attractive.
Perhaps because it was her first child, Yun Su Ni focused too much on Lu Yi Yuan, which led to Lu Qi's dissatisfaction. He felt that since she had a child, she didn't care about their relationship as much as before.
The two even had a small argument because of this.
Of course, Cheng Qicai was definitely not present when the argument took place. It was just that Lu Qi saw that Yun Su Ni hadn't spoken to him for several days, and after he had appeased her, he didn't want to openly complain anymore.
So he came up with a good idea: to ask Cheng Qicai for help.
When Cheng Qicai heard Lu Qi ask her to visit his house often with Lu Yiyuan, she was completely stunned.
Before they got married, he asked her to help him keep an eye on his love rival; now that they're married, he's asking her to watch over his son.
Why does Lu Qi have so many people to be wary of? What will he be wary of in the future, his grandson in his old age or the old man dancing in the square?
However, she was indebted to him. She had received so many benefits from Lu Qi, including shops and funds, and now he was offering to invest in her. Who could refuse that?
Of course, it wasn't entirely for these reasons. She was just worried that her sister would be too tired. And when Lu Qi got old and Lu Yiyuan took power, given that she had raised him from childhood, how badly could he treat his aunt?
This was simply a way to secure long-term insurance for myself.
Hehe~ Thinking of this, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but let out an evil laugh in her heart.
Later, Lu Qi secretly sent her a message, and she started running over, hugging Lu Yiyuan and wandering around the house, claiming that she really liked her nephew Lu Yiyuan.
That day, she arrived at Yun Suni's house.
Yun Suni watched her skillfully playing with the child and asked, "Qicai, you like children so much, and now that your shop's business is stable, aren't you planning to find one?"
Driven by the power of money, Cheng Qicai thought for a moment but did not answer the question about liking children.
She smiled and nodded: "I'd like to, but there's no suitable one yet."
Yun Suni looked at her and asked, "Aren't there any suitors around you?"
This question made her silent for a while; there really wasn't anyone pursuing her anymore.
He went to chase her thousands of kilometers away abroad, and there's no sure when he'll be back!
Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly.
Seeing Cheng Qicai shake her head, Yun Su Ni paused, as if testing the waters: "Among those good guys you hang out with, maybe there are some suitable ones among them?"
Cheng Qicai didn't know how to describe it, but Yun Su Ni's words felt strange, like Ms. Yun was urging her to get married.
She thought about all her close friends, but couldn't seem to have any romantic feelings for any of them, so she replied, "They're all just friends."
Upon hearing this, Yun Su Ni pursed her lips, realizing that she was truly not suited for this kind of guidance work.
