Not far away, he watched as the four exquisitely beautiful children were carried out, a wave of loss washing over him. None of these four adorable little lives were his. He slowly walked to Wenya's side and whispered, "Mom, let me hold the children."
However, Wenya smiled and replied, "Let us take care of the child. When Duoduo comes out later, you must stay by her side."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay, Mom, I understand."
Wen Ya then turned to Jin Jinxiu and kindly suggested, "Mother-in-law, let's go back to the ward first. Qian Xianglai and I will take care of the children. You and Qian Gui can go back and make some nourishing soup. When Duoduo comes out later, he can drink some soup to help him recover."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu readily agreed, "Okay, let's do it that way! Let's hurry back and prepare." After saying that, the group quickly set off for Qian Duoduo's ward.
The bustling scene outside the operating room had vanished without a trace, replaced by a solitary figure standing there, anxiously waiting for Qian Duoduo to emerge. Time ticked by, each second feeling incredibly long and unbearable.
About forty minutes later, Qian Duoduo, lying quietly on the hospital bed, was slowly wheeled out by medical staff. Lu Yuan saw the operating room door open and immediately went over. He saw Qian Duoduo covered with a thick quilt, looking like a chubby silkworm; and on her head, she wore a very cute pink hat, looking extremely playful. However, her complexion wasn't good, and this sight pained Lu Yuan to no end.
Seeing his wife resting with her eyes closed, Lu Yuan felt worried and quickly asked the doctor beside him, "How much longer will she sleep?" Before he finished speaking, the woman who had been sleeping with her eyes closed suddenly opened them and looked straight at Lu Yuan. When Qian Duoduo realized that the person in front of her was Lu Yuan, a bright smile, as radiant as spring flowers, instantly bloomed on her face.
Seeing her radiant smile, Lu Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but bend down, gently reaching out to stroke her fair, soft cheek, and softly said, "Wife, you've worked so hard..."
Qian Duoduo said with a big smile, "I really didn't expect you to come back! I was scolding you the whole time in the operating room!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently patted Qian Duoduo's head, responding tenderly, "You've worked so hard. Even if you just scold me a few times, or even hit me a few times, it would be only right and proper."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo nodded obediently in agreement, and then quickly added, "By the way, how long will you be able to stay this time?"
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment before slowly replying, "I won't be staying for more than a few days; I have to be on standby at any time."
Qian Duoduo nodded understandingly, and then said, "When you have time, remember to talk to Mom and my mother about something for me."
As Lu Yuan walked alongside the hospital bed, he asked curiously, "Oh? What's wrong?"
Qian Duoduo said helplessly, "This time I had four babies at once. As a result, my mom and mother said that I have to go through a full four-month postpartum confinement period! Good heavens, if that's really the case, I'll be driven crazy!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and comforted her, "They're just concerned about your health. After all, you need to take good care of yourself after giving birth."
However, Qian Duoduo still pouted and muttered, "Of course I know they mean well, but how can you have a postpartum period like this..."
Lu Yuan said helplessly, "I really have no say in this matter!" He sighed deeply and continued, "You know how bad I am. I've been feeling terrible because I can't take care of you during your postpartum period. If I dared to say anything like that, I'd probably get a severe scolding from Mom and my mother-in-law!"
Qian Duoduo was looking at Lu Yuan with those pitiful, watery eyes, an appearance that was simply irresistible. Lu Yuan couldn't help but recall the wild sika deer he had encountered in the mountains behind Beian Village when he was in the rural Northeast. Their soft, adorable little eyes were exactly like Qian Duoduo's now, those wet eyes seemed to have a magical power, making it impossible for him to refuse her request.
Finally, as if he had made a great decision, Lu Yuan slowly said, "Alright, then I can only try to ask, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately nodded with a beaming smile, eagerly anticipating the good news that Lu Yuan would bring.
Back in the ward, Lu Yuan carefully picked up Qian Duoduo and gently carried her to her bedside, carefully placing her down. The VIP ward was spacious and bright, fully equipped, and the bed was much larger than those in ordinary wards.
Due to the movement, Qian Duoduo's already fragile body trembled, and a piercing pain shot through her newly stitched incision, causing her to hiss involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan's heart tightened. He quickly looked at Qian Duoduo and saw that her already pale face looked even worse, with a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead. Lu Yuan felt a pang of heartache and, without thinking, reached for the damp handkerchief lying beside her, intending to wipe the sweat from her face.
Just then, Wenya, who had been standing by the bed, quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Yuan, anxiously asking, "Is your handkerchief warm?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback by the question, and subconsciously shook his head, replying, "No, why?"
Wenya explained with a serious expression, "Duoduo is currently at her weakest after surgery, and her body's resistance is extremely poor. We absolutely cannot let her be exposed to even the slightest bit of cold."
Lu Yuan suddenly understood after hearing this. He quickly stood up, walked briskly to the table next to him, grabbed the thermos, unscrewed the lid, and poured the hot water into a basin. He tested the water temperature with his finger, and only after feeling that the water had warmed up did he confidently soak the handkerchief in it. After the handkerchief had fully absorbed the warmth of the hot water, Lu Yuan returned to the bedside and gently wiped the sweat from Qian Duoduo's forehead and cheeks.
At this moment, Dr. Xia also came over and said, "Comrade Wen, you have successfully completed your mission; all four babies have been born safely."
This is truly unexpected! Qian Duoduo actually gave birth to four big, healthy boys!
When Dr. Xia came in, she didn't close the door. The patients on this floor were all so surprised when they heard her words that they couldn't close their mouths and all wanted to crowd around to get a closer look.
However, when all that could be seen was a tiny little guy wrapped in a pink blanket, someone couldn't help but sigh softly and say, "Sigh, why isn't our family so lucky?"
