The hospital director, who was standing to the side, quickly explained, "Mr. Xiu, please rest assured that cesarean sections have become a very common procedure nowadays, and it is also to ensure the health of both mother and child."
The doctor next to him quickly explained, and Shura nodded with some doubt.
"However, things aren't always absolute. Maybe Miss Song will give birth smoothly, and a C-section is just an alternative." The doctor wiped the sweat from her forehead. Mr. Xiu's aura was too intimidating, and she couldn't speak very well.
"Okay, it's alright. There are still several months until delivery, we'll talk about it then." Qifei had no doubt that she could give birth smoothly.
Even if her own body is not up to par, she still has the system, right?
The system was much more anxious than she was, scanning her belly every day, afraid that something might go wrong.
It wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't come for the physical exam, but since she was in a human hospital, some relevant imaging data needed to be recorded for the purpose of entering her medical records.
Furthermore, she wanted to involve Shura in this matter.
Although Shura has become more attentive to the child under her subtle influence, she wants him to know that pregnancy is a very difficult thing, and she can't bear it all alone. He also needs to know this.
He knew that pregnancy was a dangerous thing, not the peaceful and idyllic life he saw.
She had no symptoms during this pregnancy, which might give him the illusion that pregnancy is nothing special.
Now that he knows that having children can even be life-threatening, he will take it seriously.
On the way back, Shura remained silent. Qifei secretly glanced at him, and his expression was very serious.
Her eyes darted around, and Qi Fei affectionately linked her arm with Xiu Luo's, "Are you going to the company later?"
Shura snapped out of his daze and hummed in agreement. "I'll take you home first. I might not be able to come back for dinner tonight, so make sure you eat well."
He has to go back to the company for a meeting, and because of the delay, he might be back quite late.
"Understood." Qi Fei drew out the last syllable of her voice, giving Shura a sly smile. "Shura."
"Hmm?" Shura looked down at her, and Qifei tilted her head slightly, pressing her red lips to hers. She easily pried open Shura's lips and pushed the candy in her mouth to him.
Shura was a little surprised, but quickly took the initiative and deepened the kiss.
After the kiss, Qifei's eyes held a hint of allure as she leaned weakly against Xiu Luo's chest.
Shura crossed his legs awkwardly. If he didn't have to attend a meeting soon, he really wanted to go home with her.
The driver in front kept his eyes straight ahead, completely undisturbed by those behind him.
"Hehe, you're not allowed to frown when you eat candy. Don't worry, things will straighten out when you reach the end of the bridge. I'll definitely have a smooth delivery." Qi Fei looked at Xiu Luo with a grin.
Shura felt a pang in his heart. Qifei was trying to comfort him; she could tell he was a little uneasy.
He was genuinely surprised today, and he felt he needed to learn more about production from various perspectives.

After the meeting ended, Shura didn't go home immediately, but instead turned on his computer and started looking up information.
The more he investigated, the paler his face became. He slammed his laptop shut and had someone drive him home.
When they got home, Qifei was already asleep, her pretty little face flushed and her lips slightly pouting.
Shura slowly sat down next to Qifei, staring at her face for a long time, thinking about what if she also died in childbirth like those people on the internet said...
After the meeting, instead of finding comforting answers online, he became increasingly anxious.
Childbirth is not always smooth sailing for women. The greatest dangers are amniotic fluid embolism or severe bleeding, both of which can take the mother's life.
This realization made Shura feel anxious and uncertain.
When he first found Song Qifei, he didn't care whether she lived or died.
He only asked her to register their marriage so that their child could have a complete family.
So, at that time, Song Qifei told everyone to give her a timeframe; if he didn't fall in love with her, they wouldn't need to get a marriage certificate.
He was relieved at the time. He had no feelings for Song Qifei, so he was surprised to look at her with new respect because of this suggestion.
After all, he knew better than anyone how fiercely Song Qifei had pursued him in the past.
For a while, just looking at her gave him a headache.
But what if Song Qifei dies in childbirth...?
Shura felt he was afraid to think about it; he couldn't bear the thought of Song Qifei dying.
"What's wrong?" Qifei rubbed her eyes and saw that Xiu Luo's face was gloomy, as if he had some deep-seated grudge.
She was sleeping soundly when Shura gripped her hand too tightly, causing her to wake up in pain.
Shura snapped out of his daze and saw that Qifei's hand was red from his grip. He apologetically released her, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
"Did something happen?" Qi Fei cursed the scoundrel in her heart, but showed concern on her face.
If she hadn't noticed that Shura's expression was a bit unpleasant, she wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
Isn't a beauty sleep wonderful? That jerk disturbed her sleep, and she's pregnant!
"Qifei, let's go get our marriage certificate." Xiu Luo's eyes flickered, and he looked at Qifei with great eagerness.
"Huh?" Qifei was now fully awake because of Shura's words. "Get a marriage certificate?"
"Yes, let's go get our marriage certificate." Shura originally thought it would be difficult to say these words, but after saying them, he found himself feeling very relaxed, even joyful.
It seems that his body and mind adapted to the marriage registration process faster than his thoughts.
"Are you sure?" Qifei sat up and looked at Xiuluo seriously. "I don't want you to get a marriage certificate with me out of a sense of responsibility."
“Children are not what binds our relationship. I share in the growth of our child with you because you are the child’s father.”
"But I don't want you to get a marriage certificate with me because you feel guilty or because you think the child is your responsibility."
"This is unfair to you, to me, and to the child."
"Children do need their parents' company, but we ourselves are not just children; we also have ourselves."
"The marriage I want is one based on love, not just on responsibility."
Qifei was quite surprised when Xiuluo proposed getting a marriage certificate, since she had planned to wait until she was close to giving birth before confronting him.
If he hadn't fallen for her by then, she would definitely have run away with the child. Although she had said nice things before, that if Shura didn't want to get a marriage certificate, she would leave the child with him.
A fairy's mouth is a deceitful ghost.
It's impossible for her to leave it to him; she'll run off to a place he'll never find.
She never expected that, at only the second trimester of her pregnancy, Shura would propose to get a marriage certificate with her. This... was truly beyond her expectations.
