Jiang Ruan reached out her hand, and Gu An quickly grabbed it, asking with concern and anxiety, "What's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'm outside, you don't need to worry about anything."
"I... I have a favor to ask of you. My parents, please tell them not to worry. Safety is the most important thing. I'm fine." Jiang Ruan didn't want her parents to worry about her repeating the disaster of the past. She even regretted calling them.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Just go in without worry." Gu An tightened his grip on Jiang Ruan's hand, giving her confidence.
With his promise, Jiang Ruan felt much calmer.
Two hours later, Jiang Ruan still hadn't come out, and the people standing at the door were getting extremely anxious.
An Xia arrived an hour later. She was taken aback when she saw Gu An, but then she understood, smiled, and sat down to wait.
Jiang's parents were far away, and Shanshan arrived late, but she didn't get to see Jiang Ruan safely come out. She was stuck outside, unsure whether to stand or sit.
Jiang's mother took out a peace charm from her bosom, held it between her fingers, clasped her hands together, and muttered incantations.
Outside the quiet delivery room, where you could hear a pin drop, Jiang's mother's words were clearly heard.
"May my daughter be blessed with good fortune, have a smooth delivery, and emerge safely. I vow to worship her daily for the rest of my life. Heaven cherishes life; please bless her..."
As Jiang's mother prayed, the door opened, but there was only one doctor inside.
"Who is the mother's husband? Is it you?" The doctor pointed at Gu An. Seeing Gu An nod, the doctor leaned closer, holding a folder and a pen in his hand.
"Sign here!"
The doctor went in within two minutes.
Without explanation or further comfort, they went straight in.
Jiang's parents came over and looked at Gu An. He had already said, "We need to switch from vaginal to cesarean section. We need the surgical consent form."
Jiang's mother looked at Gu An with complicated feelings. She was puzzled by more than just this, but her worry for her daughter was even greater. She hesitated for a few seconds and then continued to pray.
Although the process was tortuous, everything eventually had a good ending, such as the successful completion of the surgery.
Jiang Ruan lay on the bed, propped her eyes open, and looked at the child in her arms with a look of relief.
"You child, oh..." Jiang's mother burst into tears after saying only a few words, feeling deeply saddened. Her daughter had just gotten divorced and had already suffered so much; she was truly heartbroken.
Gu An stood by the bed, looking at Jiang Ruan and the child. A warm current flowed through his heart; it was the taste of love that touched the softest part of his heart.
He glanced down at his constantly vibrating phone, and only answered it after seeing that Jiang Ruan was unharmed. "President Gu, you finally answered the phone. The meeting here is still stuck here, it's been several hours, and no one dares to move. Do you think we should do something?"
Across from him was Gu An's personal assistant, Li Su. They were holding a transoceanic meeting, which was quite important for the company's development.
To everyone's surprise, their CEO disappeared after receiving a phone call, and they couldn't get through to him from morning to afternoon.
Hearing the slightly louder voice from the other end, Gu An moved the phone back a bit and frowned. "What? Did you take some medicine? Why are you shouting like that?"
Hearing Gu An's rebuke, Li Su was startled. "Oh no, I almost forgot about the boss. He hates it when people call him from outside the work area, but this is a bit urgent."
Li Su had a thousand thoughts running through her mind, but she still spoke cautiously, "Boss, you forgot, there's another meeting, and it's... quite important."
After Li Su finished speaking, Gu An remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh, "I understand. Wait for me at the company entrance in ten minutes."
"A good boss"
Finally, one troublesome matter was resolved. Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, looking at the dark and gloomy sky outside. She no longer felt depressed.
"Isn't it getting darker now? It's not even evening yet."
He didn't think much of it, muttered a few words, and then took his documents to wait at the company entrance.
On the other side, Jiang Ruan gave birth to a baby boy, who was adorable and bore no resemblance to Du Ning whatsoever.
[Master, Master, I feel it, I feel it! After all these years, something's finally happening.]
Everyone's asleep now; they've been tired all day and are resting.
Jiang Ruan was left staring blankly at the child in her arms.
Wen Yu's sudden voice startled Jiang Ruan. If it weren't for her soft and sweet voice, Jiang Ruan might have actually said a few words to her from afar.
Jiang Ruan suddenly realized what Wen Yu had said, and then saw a phantom in her mind slowly take on physical form as beams of light emanated from its body. "Something's wrong? It's taking shape?"
Jiang Ruan stared in surprise at the scene before her. She hadn't expected Wen Yu to be such an adorable doll-like figure. Her exquisitely sculpted face had a touch of pink, and her cherry-shaped mouth was muttering something, which Jiang Ruan couldn't quite make out.
But her lotus root-like calves bounced around, seemingly quite pleased with her appearance.
"Master, I can finally take human form! Hundreds of years... hundreds of years... I can finally do it!"
Jiang Ruan had to get closer to hear Wen Yu's words clearly. Her round, bright black eyes sparkled with excitement, making it immediately apparent.
She was very happy!
Jiang Ruan, who had just given birth, couldn't help but squeeze the soft and adorable baby in her hand. It was so soft and bouncy. "Xiao Yu, you're so cute!"
【Master, I'm not only good-looking, I'm also very capable.】
Then Xiaoyu demonstrated moves including teleportation, leaping into the air, and breaking rocks on her chest, making Jiang Ruan feel that she might not have gained a space, but rather a lively and interesting person.
Just as I was about to offer some praise and say something more, Gu An walked in.
He looked at the person sleeping on the cot, then at Jiang Ruan lying on the bed holding her child, and was deeply moved.
But he suppressed all his emotions and walked to Jiang Ruan's bedside, calling softly, "Ruan, excuse me, I have something to attend to."
"But I'll be back soon."
This matter concerns the future of humanity, and Gu An has no choice but to go; he cannot refuse.
Even if he is incredibly powerful, he still needs to play a pivotal role at this time.
Jiang Ruan looked up, her pale face etched with exhaustion, but she still smiled and said, "Sure, you go ahead with your work, I don't need to be taken care of here."
Gu An took a deep look at Jiang Ruan and the child, and only left after confirming that An Xia and Jiang Ruan's parents were there.
Jiang Ruan watched his departing figure, thinking that she must thank him when she had the time and energy after being discharged from the hospital.
If it weren't for him, she and her child would probably be in another crisis.
Unexpectedly, this separation lasted until after the apocalypse, when they met again and felt a different kind of attraction.
