After Ye Zhanying finished speaking, she turned to make a phone call, but Shu Ying quickly stopped her and took her hand with amusement.
"No need. My situation is different from your sister's. She should have a natural birth, while I had a C-section. I chose the day of my delivery myself. I didn't need to dilate. After the anesthesia, the baby was just taken out directly. It won't hurt that much."
"What?! You mean I have to cut open her stomach to get the baby out?"
Ye Zhanying became even more anxious instantly.
"No, I'll go call and ask for leave right now!"
Shu Ying: ?
Why did you ask for leave?
Ye Zhanying said in a serious tone: "I have to take care of you! What does Xie Zhiyan, a grown man, know about taking care of you? You're going to have surgery on your stomach! When we're on missions, the worst we get is a scratch on our arm, and we have to communicate like crazy."
"How painful must it be for you to have surgery on your stomach? And during your recovery period after giving birth, won't you need someone to take good care of you?"
“What if Xie Zhiyan, a man, can’t take good care of you? He’s willing to let you get pregnant again, so he doesn’t seem reliable. Hmph, I’ll have to take care of you.”
Xie Zhiyan stood to the side, feeling as if he had been shot in the knee again without his noticing.
Yes, they usually get so much pain from a single injury to their arm during missions, let alone the pain Shuying had to have her abdomen cut open...
Xie Zhiyan clenched his fists tighter and tighter at his sides, overwhelmed with self-reproach.
Xie Zhiyan secretly made a vow.
After Shuying's surgery, he will definitely treat her even better, he promises!
Qi Zecheng, who had come with them, was getting a headache watching from the side and tugged at Ye Zhanying's clothes.
"That's enough. Shuying is giving birth, and you're jumping around like that, with Zhiyan right there."
Ye Zhanying immediately glared at him.
"What do you know? Are you a woman or have you given birth?"
Qi Zecheng: "I..."
Okay, he didn't.
Qi Zecheng awkwardly shut his mouth.
Shu Ying couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two of them bickering.
These two are truly a pair of bickering lovers.
The argument was still going on when a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Shu Ying looked up and saw that it was Director Wu who had come over with several colleagues and leaders who were usually on good terms with her, including Du Zhiwei, Zhou Weizhou, Shi Yiwei, and Shen Xin.
Shu Ying was somewhat surprised.
"Director Wu, why did you all get involved?"
Director Wu smiled and came forward to look at Shu Ying, patting the back of her hand.
I'm relieved to see that you're doing well.
“We were worried about you, so as your colleagues, we came to check on you and see if there was anything we could help with.”
As Director Wu spoke, he looked around the nearly full maternity ward.
"However, it seems we won't be needed. The people here should be able to help."
Shu Ying thanked him, and casually glanced at the colleagues who came behind Director Wu. When her gaze landed on Du Zhiwei, she paused for a moment in surprise.
Du Zhiwei coughed somewhat awkwardly, looking like she wanted to show concern but couldn't let go of her pride.
"After all, we've been colleagues, and... and you're now a major contributor to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so wouldn't everyone have to come and support you when you have your baby?"
"After all, you've helped me a few times... I remember them all."
Du Zhiwei spoke her last sentence very softly, and then turned her head to one side somewhat embarrassed.
Shu Ying smiled.
"Thank you too."
It can be considered that they've buried the hatchet with a smile.
Du Zhiwei was taken aback, then pursed her lips in even more confusion, and quickly placed the nutritional supplements and various tonics she had brought on the bedside table.
Ye Zhanying stood by with her arms crossed, frowning as she waited the whole time.
Seeing that they had finished speaking, I immediately stepped forward.
"Have you finished talking?"
"If you're done talking, please leave as soon as possible. Yingying giving birth is a private matter, and this is the delivery room. It's not appropriate for all of you to be here."
"And the air isn't circulating, what if we run out of oxygen?"
Ye Zhanying was always straightforward, and now, overcome with concern, she couldn't be bothered with being tactful.
Xie Mingzhu also helped with the evacuation.
"Yes, if you really care about Yingying, then please wait in the corridor outside. If you have work to do, go back and get back to work. If you want to visit, you can wait until the baby is born."
These two were even more nervous than Shu Ying herself, constantly watching her condition, afraid that someone would add pressure to her.
Director Wu and the others nodded.
"Shuying, I wish you all the best. We'll come back to give them a gift after the baby is born."
Shu Ying smiled and nodded, watching Director Wu and the others leave.
Everyone else in the house retreated to the corridor, leaving only Xie Mingzhu, Huang Meiling, Yang Wan, and Ye Zhanying—four female relatives—to make it easier to take care of them.
Xie Zhiyan originally wanted to stay, but Ye Zhanying wouldn't let him go.
"We don't need you here. It's more convenient for us to take care of Yingying."
Xie Mingzhu echoed her sentiment.
“Yes, little brother, you should go outside and wait. Ye Zhanying also said that there are too many people and the air is not circulating.”
Xie Zhiyan tried his best to fight for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't beat Ye Zhanying and Xie Mingzhu and was locked out. He could only look at Shu Ying through the window in the door, looking rather pitiful.
Just as Xie Mingzhu was about to pour Shu Ying a glass of water, Ye Zhanying, with the speed he had honed over the years, poured the water first and handed it to Shu Ying.
"Try the temperature and see if it's suitable. This water was poured from the thermos you prepared. If it's not suitable, I'll go and dilute it with some cold water for you."
Shu Ying couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how nervous she and Xie Mingzhu looked.
"I'm pregnant with a baby that's about to be born, not a landmine that's about to explode. There's no need to be so nervous."
Ye Zhanying immediately frowned.
"While you can't say it like that, the principle is pretty much the same!"
"Before I came here, I had already consulted with experienced comrades to learn more about it. Giving birth is like a woman walking on the edge of hell. Not to mention how dangerous it is during childbirth, it is also very dangerous and critical before and after childbirth."
Ye Zhanying, with a serious and stern face, explained things to Shu Ying like an old teacher.
"They all say that childbirth has a huge impact on a woman's emotions, saying it's because it affects this and that hormones... I can't remember the names, but it has a big impact and can easily make a woman lose control of her emotions!"
"Some pregnant women become extremely depressed after giving birth and even attempt suicide by jumping off buildings!"
“Everyone says that this is when you need the most care and attention, but I thought that wouldn’t do. I had to take time off to be with you, so here I am!”
