When the day broke, a baby's cry was heard in the room, and then the tightly closed door finally opened.
The imperial physician and the midwife came out. The midwife was filled with joy: "Congratulations, my lord. Congratulations, my lord. The baby is born, and it's a boy..."
Before the midwife could finish her words, Han Xiao pushed her away and ran inside.
As soon as he entered the room, it was filled with the smell of blood. Han Xiao felt a pain in his nose and couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He was obviously a man, but now he cried like a child.
He hardly dared to make the slightest sound, and walked carefully to the bedside. When he lifted the heavy bed curtain, what came into his sight was the pale face of the young master.
Han Xiao couldn't hold on any longer, he stumbled and knelt beside the bed, tremblingly holding the young master's hand, and gently kissed the young master's forehead: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Ruanruan..."
The young master's long eyelashes moved, like spreading wings. He opened his eyes and saw Han Xiao's face covered with tears. He said weakly: "Husband... why are you crying..."
"I'm fine, I just...just..." Han Xiao spoke incoherently and didn't know what to say.
Then he shook his head and said nothing more, just holding the young master's hand tightly. The young master was very tired at this time, but he didn't want to sleep. He stretched out his hand with great effort and touched Han Xiao's haggard face and said softly: "Husband, don't cry... Look, I'm fine..."
Han Xiao still shook his head and told the young master to stop talking and take a rest.
But now the young master's eyes were sparkling: "Where is my husband's child? I want to see..."
When the child was mentioned, Han Xiao's expression froze. He was only thinking about looking after the young master and didn't notice where the child was.
Looking back, they were the only two people left in the inner room. In the outer room, Han's mother and Mrs. Ruan were looking at the child in the midwife's arms with loving faces.
Han Xiao touched the young master's pale cheek uncomfortably and said, "Ruanruan, wait a minute. I'll go call them."
The young master shook his head and held Han Xiao's hand, not wanting him to leave. He was still feeling a little uncomfortable and had some pain in his body, but he was in good spirits.
"But my husband, I don't want to leave you." The young master didn't know why he was so dependent on Han Xiao at this time.
Han Xiao kissed the young master's hand and said, "Okay, I won't leave. Let's wait for them to come in, okay? We can see the child soon."
The young master then smiled weakly. Han Xiao's eyes felt sore again when he saw it, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ruan and the others didn't make Ruanruan wait too long, and soon brought the little baby back dressed.
"My Lord, Madam, please take a quick look at this young master. He is so handsome! I have never seen such a handsome child before."
Following the midwife were Han's mother and Mrs. Ruan.
The midwife stopped standing by the bed because Han Xiao was kneeling beside the bed and hadn't gotten up yet. She looked at Han Xiao in embarrassment, not knowing whether she should ask Han Xiao to move aside. After all, Ruanruan had never seen the eldest grandson of the Han family.
Mrs. Ruan took the baby from the midwife's arms and kicked it to get Han Xiao out of the way. Then she said gently to Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, look at the baby. The little guy's mouth and nose look like you."
Suddenly, more people came into the room. Han's mother didn't feel comfortable competing with Mrs. Ruan for the chance to hold the child. She just pushed Han Xiao, who had just stood up, aside and sat down on the edge of the bed.
She looked at the young master and the child with the same tenderness, and looked at the child in Mrs. Ruan's arms with envy. She also wanted to hug him.
Ruanruan looked at the small red ball with his eyes wide open in disbelief. This... this was actually born by him. How magical.
Ruanruan couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the child's cheek with her fingers.
The child seemed to feel the breath of his father, and stretched out his soft little hand to hold the young master's fingers.
My first reaction was that it was so soft and magical. My second reaction was that I didn’t dare to move it because I was afraid that it would break the small one!!!
He desperately wanted to share this feeling with Han Xiao, but he turned his head and didn't see Han Xiao.
Han Xiao was almost squeezed out of the door at this time, but he had no choice but to be marginalized.
Chu Jinglin couldn't help but stretch his neck to look inside, but when he saw Han Xiao was squeezed out, he completely gave up the idea.
"How is it, is Ruanruan okay?" Chu Jinglin asked uncomfortably. As a man, it didn't seem appropriate for him to go in now.
Han Xiao nodded, looking at Ruanruan in the room reluctantly: "Not bad, just a little tired."
"Then please bring the ginseng soup over quickly." Chu Jinglin said anxiously.
He had asked the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup when he arrived at the Han family, and it should be just right now.
"Well, I'll have someone get it. Ruanruan is fine, so don't worry, Third Brother."
I just heard the midwife and the imperial physician tell Madam Ruan that the child is sensible and Ruanruan didn't suffer any pain, and the baby was born smoothly.
In this way, Han Xiao's inexplicable resentment towards the child was alleviated a little.
Mrs. Ruan and the others didn't stay in the room for too long, as Ruanruan soon fell asleep due to exhaustion.
After Ruanruan fell asleep, Mrs. Ruan came out with the child and put the child in Han Xiao's arms.
"Come, this is your son, hug him!"
Han Xiao was now completely frozen, as if he was holding a bomb. He didn't dare to move at all and could only look at the little baby in his arms helplessly.
This was the first time Han Xiao saw him and the soft baby. The child was not good-looking when he was first born. His skin was red and wrinkled like a little monkey.
I don’t know how Mrs. Ruan knew that the child looked soft.
Looking at the child who looked like the little old man, Han Xiao couldn't help but think that he had to prepare more betrothal gifts for him. Otherwise, what if he was still so ugly when he grew up and couldn't get a wife?
"This is too ugly." After looking at it for a long time, Han Xiao couldn't bring himself to speak against his conscience.
Mother Han was watching her child intently. When she heard Han Xiao talking about their Han family's little darling, she couldn't help but slapped Han Xiao on the back: "What are you talking about, kid? He is much more handsome than you were when you were a child. You were really ugly when you were a child. Look at my little darling, how beautiful he is. He will definitely be a handsome boy in the future..."
Han Xiao felt that his mother had completely turned on the filter. At this time, the little baby seemed to know that his father disliked his ugliness. He glanced at Han Xiao and immediately howled loudly.
Han Xiao's scalp tingled at the sharp cry. He held the child at a loss, not knowing what to do: "Mom, what should I do? Why is he crying? Did he hear me say he is ugly..."
Han's mother and Mrs. Ruan looked at each other and burst out laughing. What could this newborn baby understand? Han Xiao was usually very steady, but today when the baby was born, it was obvious that Han Xiao was just a teenager.
