"Put your work on hold for a while and stay home to rest during your pregnancy. I'll come home to visit you often," Xiao Tian said to Xiao Ling with deep remorse.
"She's not that precious. Other pregnant women continue to work as usual." Xiaoling knew that Xiaotian cared about her health, but now that Anran was away on vacation, he was managing the company alone, and he was worried about her health.
Xiao Tian couldn't persuade Xiao Ling otherwise, so the matter was dropped, and no one brought it up again. But Xiao Tian wasn't going to let it go.
That evening, Xiaotian still called Anran. For the sake of his wife and baby's well-being, he had no choice but to ask his mother, who was still on vacation, to come back and help. He knew it was unfilial, but he really had no other option. He couldn't bear to let Xiaoling go out to work alone anymore. Luckily, someone helped her this time, but what if Xiaoling fainted again next time?
So when Xiaotian told his mother on the phone that Xiaoling was pregnant, Anran on the other end was overjoyed. She never expected that he would be able to hold his grandson at such a young age.
So he didn't notice at all that Xiaotian's tone wasn't joyful as she continued talking about things pregnant women should pay attention to during the first three months.
Anran, being an experienced person, listened attentively to her words without interrupting her.
After talking to herself for a long time, Anran realized that her son was not as happy as he was about to become a father, so she looked for her son to see if something had happened.
So Xiaotian told Anran about my fainting spell that day, and even embellished the story, describing Xiaoling's symptoms in detail. Only in this way would Anran be able to rush back as soon as possible; she understood her mother's soft-hearted nature.
Of course, Xiao Tian was very careful not to say anything too outrageous. He just expressed his fear. An Ran had watched Xiao Ling grow up since she was a child and couldn't bear to see her suffer, so she quickly rushed back with Li Chuan.
Upon returning, he inquired about Xiaoling's situation and, finding everything was alright, returned to the company to resume his duties. However, since he hadn't been involved with the company for quite some time, he was unfamiliar with some of the newly added systems, and Xiaoling carefully assisted him.
Every time Anran saw Xiaoling, she was terrified and immediately sent someone to take Xiaoling home to rest. Xiaoling felt very warm inside when she heard this, and it felt so good to be cared for.
But she felt that she was only a month pregnant and everyone was pampering her, so she didn't think she was that delicate. So she followed behind Anran. Anran was very worried, but she couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to slow down and support Xiaoling step by step.
Xiaoling was worried that Anran might neglect some areas since he hadn't managed the company for so long, so she patiently reminded him from the sidelines without putting in much effort herself—it was just a matter of walking a few steps. That's why she insisted on staying at the company.
But as the months went by, Xiaoling's belly grew bigger and bigger. At Xiaotian's insistence, she went home to rest and prepare for childbirth.
Xiao Tian asked An Ran what he should pay attention to during his pregnancy. An Ran simply told him that pregnant women often overthink things during this time, which can lead to depression. He just needed to spend more time with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Tian panicked when he heard about depression, so he handed over all the work at the company to his assistant and stayed home to accompany his wife during childbirth.
And he truly lived up to the traditional virtues of a husband. He was completely obedient to Xiaoling's every word, which even made Xiaoling both amused and exasperated. But how could he let such a good opportunity pass by? So, during her pregnancy, he kept ordering Xiaotian around to do chores.
Xiao Tian naturally worked hard without complaint.
Sometimes he would accompany Xiaoling for walks downstairs, and he would also go shopping with her to buy baby supplies, since they hadn't yet checked whether it was a boy or a girl. So, when buying clothes, the two of them had some minor disagreements.
Xiao Tian thinks Xiao Qing is definitely having a girl, so he wants to buy her a pink dress. Xiao Ling, on the other hand, thinks she's having a boy, so she wants to buy him a blue outfit.
"Why are you so sure she's a girl? I told you she's a boy." After saying that, she looked at Xiaotian with a wronged expression. The pregnant woman's emotions were already unpredictable, which made Xiaotian helpless as he grabbed a small blue dress.
"It's a son, so you don't like him anymore?" A pregnant woman's emotions can flare up at any moment, but they're not so easy to shake off. Xiaoling's eyes are brimming with tears. She's so pitiful.
Yesterday and now, I even have the urge to kill myself. Why did I have to argue with Xiaoling about this and make her so unhappy now?
So he bought a lot of boys' clothes and accessories and patiently coaxed Xiaoling, who then gradually calmed down.
One night, while Xiaoling was sleeping, she suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, so she patted Chaotian, who was sleeping next to her. During this period, because it was Xiaoling's due date, Chaotian's sleep was relatively light.
Xiaoling woke up the moment she touched Xiaotian. Seeing how much pain Xiaoling was in, he realized that Xiaotian was about to give birth. He quickly sat up and washed himself several times. Then he immediately called an ambulance and went to the hospital.
