"What do the doctors here say?" Hua Fei asked.
“I said I’d wait, anyway, I’ve only reached the fifth finger,” Gu Fanyan replied.
The doctor wasn't entirely wrong.
Hua Fei thought for a moment and said, "I'll adjust your baby's position first, but it will hurt a little, so please bear with it."
Gu Fanyan hummed in agreement.
Then she felt Hua Fei's hand touch her lower abdomen, but very gently, as if searching for acupoints.
After calming down a bit, Gu Fanyan said, "Hua Fei, I'm so scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Hua Fei chatted with her, but her hands didn't stop moving.
“I…I keep thinking about my first child, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect my second child either,” Gu Fanyan replied.
Hua Fei was silent for a moment, then said, "The child won't blame us, right? Otherwise, why would Liang Mufan have come to my side?"
“I’ve always felt that this is a form of compensation.”
Gu Fanyan was stunned. "Hua Fei, you..." She never expected that Hua Fei already knew the truth behind the lie.
"Ah!" She suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
Then Huafei said, "The position is correct."
Gu Fanyan was even more stunned. She thought that the pain she had just experienced was the beginning of the "pain" that Hua Fei had mentioned.
I didn't expect it to be over already.
“Your attention was diverted just now, so you didn’t feel much pain,” Hua Fei said.
Gu Fanyan snapped out of her daze and grabbed Hua Fei's hand: "Hua Fei, about the child..."
Hua Fei smiled slightly: "I've known for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to thank you."
"I've let go, and I hope you can let go too, and welcome this child that belongs to you."
Gu Fanyan let out a breath, feeling the string that had been taut for so long finally loosen and snap.
But the void in my heart has been filled.
Some things can indeed be let go.
"Patient in bed 21 has been moved to the delivery room," a nurse's voice rang out in the corridor.
“Zhibai,” Lin’s mother immediately said, “bed 21 is Fanyan!”
Gu's mother also looked at Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai nodded; he had heard him.
A transfer bed was wheeled out of the delivery room, and Gu Fanyan lay on the bed with Hua Fei by her side.
The Lin and Gu families rushed forward.
Hua Fei's voice rang out: "It's already fully dilated, where is your husband?"
Upon hearing this, the Lin and Gu families quickly made way for Lin Zhibai to reach Gu Fanyan's side.
"Fan Yan!" Lin Zhibai called her name softly and held her hand tightly.
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly at him, "Our child will be meeting us soon."
“I’ll go in with you, and we’ll meet him together for the first time,” Lin Zhibai said.
Lin's mother also said, "Yes, you go in and encourage Fanyan."
Gu's mother moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Lin Zhibai followed the transfer bed and entered the delivery room with Gu Fanyan.
Gu's mother followed him all the way to the door, and only stopped when the delivery room door closed.
“Mother-in-law,” Lin’s mother said, “Don’t worry, Zhibai is with you, everything will be fine.”
Gu's mother sighed softly, "It would be a lie to say I'm not worried, but there's no reason for me to go in and be with her during childbirth."
Lin's mother said, "It hasn't been easy for them to get to where they are today."
Gu's mother glanced at her and nodded, "That's right, this happy time should belong to the two of them."
"Mom." Zeze and Liang Mufan ran to Hua Fei's side.
Hua Fei squatted down and said softly, "Little dumpling, are you tired? Let your brother take you outside to play for a while, okay?"
Liang Mufan shook his head.
“He wants to wait for his younger siblings to come out,” Zeze said. “I want to too.”
"Little dumpling," Gu's mother stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Liang Mufan thought for a moment and said, "Little sister, as beautiful as Fanyan's mother."
Everyone was amused.
Many years later, Lin Zhibai would look back at the diary he wrote that day whenever he had free time.
He only wrote three diary entries in his entire life.
They were all written when his child was born.
This is the opening chapter.
The content is as follows.
I feel very lucky that Fanyan didn't suffer much when she gave birth.
I never imagined that the birth of a new life would be such a wonderful thing.
This new life is inextricably linked to me by blood; it is the continuation of my life and Fanyan's life.
Her existence holds such magical significance.
Seeing her crying so hard in her pink dress, I felt like I was in another world.
It was a sense of unreality that couldn't be described in words.
It felt like being in a dream.
It felt like entering another world.
...
In short, my mind is in a mess, my emotions are running high, and I feel somewhat out of place.
Fan Yan asked me if she was the child who had left her.
I said, no, she is herself, not anyone else.
Yes, I will never treat her as a substitute for anyone; she is just one of my many children, Lin Zhibai.
A most special, and unique existence.
Fan Yan laughed and scolded me for being greedy. Anyway, she only gave birth to one child. If I want more children, I can only find another mother for those children.
But when I saw the tender look in her eyes as she gazed at that small figure, I knew she was being hypocritical.
Having children is something that depends on fate.
That night, Hua Fei took the child home, and it was past midnight.
Upon receiving the news, Huo Beichen rushed to the hospital immediately.
Given his relationship with Gu Fanyan, his concern is only natural.
But when he arrived at the hospital, he didn't greet Gu's parents and went straight to Hua Fei and the children.
"Still here so late?" He frowned.
“Fan Yan hasn’t been born yet,” she replied.
“When she’s giving birth, you can’t help her. If you don’t rest late, you’ll feel unwell tomorrow,” he said.
Hua Fei chuckled, "Given your relationship with Miss Gu, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"
"I'll take you back. If there's any news, have Lin Zhibai let us know." He insisted that they go home first.
Hua Fei turned around: "I'm not leaving."
“We’re not leaving either,” the two children answered in unison.
Even when facing the most difficult clients, Huo Beichen had never felt so helpless.
As a result, they waited until Gu Fanyan successfully gave birth, saw the baby, and accompanied Gu Fanyan back to the ward before going home.
This was the first time Zeze and Liang Mufan had experienced something like this, and even though it was late, the two of them couldn't fall asleep for a long time while lying in bed.
"Mom, was I like this when I was born?" Zeze asked.
Hua Fei was slightly taken aback, and many past events involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
But none of that is enough to tell the children.
She simply replied, "Of course, a lot of people are waiting outside to see you."
"When the doctor carried you out, everyone outside said you were a handsome young man."
"As for Little Meatball, the doctor said as soon as you were born that you were the most handsome little boy she had ever delivered."
The two children drifted off to sleep with sweet dreams.
That's why children are the easiest to coax.
Hua Fei returned to the bedroom and saw Huo Beichen sitting on the edge of the bed handling official business.
He didn't go to the children's room because Zeze had said that she didn't want other men around when she was with her mother.
Except for Liang Mufan.
"What's wrong?" Huo Beichen immediately noticed that she was in a bad mood.
