As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the ward fell into silence for a moment.
Zhou Yunwan looked straight into Shen Yanli’s eyes and said seriously, “What if I say I want to?”
Having a child is a courageous thing. In her opinion, every mother is extremely great. From the moment the baby is conceived in the belly, she has to face all kinds of difficulties. The double pressure of physical and mental pressure makes many mothers suffer a lot.
For example, when Sun Manting was pregnant, she almost couldn't hold on because of severe pregnancy pain. However, giving birth is not a one-person job. In order to better take care of Sun Manting, Xing Maohui and the Xing family almost joined forces, which moved Sun Manting very much.
She was very touched at the time. With a loved one by her side, it seemed that the problem of having a child was not insurmountable.
After all, children come into this world because of the love of their parents. If there is enough love, then this unexpected child can become a surprise.
But considering Chen Yanli's previous attitude and his emphasis on his body, she tightened her arms around him and said solemnly: "Chen Yanli, didn't we agree before to go with the flow? If we accidentally have a child, we'll give birth to him."
"Now that our destiny has come, there's no reason for us not to want him, right?"
As she spoke, she kissed his cheek and told him her thoughts truthfully: "I am also afraid of having a baby, so I hope to get your support. With you here, I won't be so afraid."
...
...
Shen Yanli stared at her intently, his eyes turned redder with every word she said, and finally his face was buried in her neck uncontrollably, and the next second, a few drops of wet liquid flowed down her fair skin.
His unclear voice came out in a low voice: "Okay, then give birth to him."
After making this important decision, the two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bones.
Zhou Yunwan patted his back, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. The child's father seemed to be more excited than her as a mother.
Shen Yanli didn't think it was shameful to lose control of his emotions. He was very happy now. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was crying with joy. What could be more gratifying than knowing that his lover loved him and trusted him?
"Wanwan, I will arrange everything so that you can give birth to this child without any worries."
Zhou Yunwan was discharged from the hospital after only two days. Her physical condition was better than expected.
On the way home, I heard Chen Yanli chattering in my ear. Sometimes he said he would buy her all kinds of supplements, sometimes he said he would learn from Xing Maohui how to be a qualified father, and sometimes he said he would hire a nanny to take care of her at home.
His thoughts jumped so fast that Zhou Yunwan could hardly keep up with his plans.
Since getting married, Chen Yanli has almost assumed the dual responsibilities of the head of the family and the family nanny, earning money to support the family and doing laundry and cooking. When it comes to serving her, he seems to have endless energy.
She had mentioned before that she wanted to hire an aunt, but he said that nothing could be as comfortable as doing it himself, so she refused.
But now that he actually brought it up on his own initiative, she asked a question.
"You have two people living in one body now, so it's more convenient to have one more person to take care of you. If there's a situation like yesterday when I'm not around, the nanny can take my place in time."
Zhou Yunwan thought about it and it made sense. She couldn't always transfer a nanny from her parents' home every time something happened, right?
After arriving home, Zhou Yunwan lay down on the sofa and looked at Chen Yanli, who wanted to massage her feet and back first, with a twitch of the corners of her mouth.
He doted on her enough before, but now he was treating her like a glass doll?
However, she enjoyed the feeling of being loved wholeheartedly. She stretched out her hand to pinch his earlobe and asked out of the blue, "Do you want a son or a daughter?"
Shen Yanli had never thought about this question, and after thinking for a moment, he curled his lips and said, “Whether it’s a girl or a boy, I like them.”
"Professor Shen, your answer is so official." Zhou Yunwan curled her lips in dissatisfaction, thinking that he was trying to coax her.
After all, people of this era still have remnants of feudal ideas and generally believe that boys are better than girls. Many families who cannot give birth to sons keep having children.
Therefore, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is still quite serious in this society. Although she knows in her heart that Shen Yanli is not that kind of person, she is pregnant now and is still quite sensitive about such matters.
So she couldn't help but test him: "Daughter or son, which one do you prefer?"
Shen Yanli pressed her legs while lowering his eyes and smiling: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, whether it looks like you or me, I think it is very beautiful and I like it very much, because it is our child."
His words touched Zhou Yunwan deeply. Indeed, as long as it was their child, what did the gender matter?
While she was thinking, Shen Yanli added: “If I really have to choose, I will choose my daughter.”
Zhou Yunwan blinked: "Why?"
"Like you, cute and pretty."
Zhou Yunwan was embarrassed and ashamed by this sudden flattery, and slapped him angrily: "Tsk, you are shameless."
Shen Yanli smiled and replied: “It’s the truth.”
Zhou Yunwan ignored him, her face turned to one side, her ears a little red, and she couldn't help but imagine that it would be nice if she gave birth to a smaller version of herself.
Shen Yanli suggested, "If you are really curious about the gender of the baby, should we ask mom? She will definitely know whether it is a boy or a girl, and it will be much more convenient to buy clothes and other things in advance."
Zhou Yunwan's eyes lit up when she heard that. In those days, it was not like in later generations where it was impossible to know the gender of the baby in advance. If they knew it in advance, they could also make preparations in advance, such as buying clothes and toys.
but……
"Let's just forget about it. Just think of it as opening a blind box."
Shen Yanli frowned: “What does it mean to open a blind box?”
Zhou Yunwan explained: "It is impossible to know what is in the box in advance. The contents can only be revealed after opening it."
Shen Yanli nodded and said with a smile: “Okay, then we won’t ask.”
After returning home from the hospital and making sure that proper work would not have much impact on her body, Zhou Yunwan began to deal with the work that had been delayed before. However, she did not intend to force herself and would rest when she was tired.
After working so hard for several years, now is not the time to show off. She has to be responsible for the baby in her belly.
Sun Manting and Zhao Tong have both given birth to children. When they have time on weekends, they will come to her house and share their pregnancy experiences with her. Xing Zhaoling has nothing to do alone, so she also likes to come and join in the fun.
Perhaps it was because her life was too fulfilling and she didn't have much reaction during pregnancy, so she didn't notice that time was flying by.
When the child was nine months old and close to her due date, she went through the hospitalization procedures accompanied by Shen Yanli.
Everything is ready, just wait for the blind box to be opened.
On the day the child was to be born, she followed the doctor's instructions as usual and walked slowly back and forth in the corridor. Shen Yanli stroked her waist with one hand and held her hand with the other, being very careful and not daring to neglect it in the slightest.
Zhou Yunwan turned her head inadvertently and saw his tense jawline. Somehow she wanted to laugh. However, as soon as her mouth opened, a piercing pain came from her lower body.
The production went more smoothly than expected.
The lights in the operating room went out, and when she was pushed out by the nurse, Shen Yanli came up to her immediately, held her hand, and said softly, “Wanwan, you’ve worked hard.”
The effect of the anesthetic had not yet worn off and Zhou Yunwan was too tired. Her eyelids were drooping. Looking at the relatives and friends who had gathered around her from all directions, she forced a smile and opened her mouth to ask the child, but she didn't have the strength to speak.
The others looked at her nervously, but Shen Yanli was like a worm in her stomach, and saw through what she wanted to say at a glance.
He immediately turned his gaze and looked at the child held by the nurse. The child was so small and looked extremely fragile.
The nurse was holding the baby. In the past, other family members would basically rush to the child first, but this family was an exception. They actually ran to the mother first and no one took care of the child.
After a long while, someone finally looked at the child.
Shen Yanli asked the nurse about the child's condition, and the nurse relayed it truthfully.
Shen Yanli got the answer he wanted, and immediately turned his head and smiled at the sick Zhou Yunwan, gently relaying the nurse's words: "It's a daughter, 6.7 jin, very beautiful, and very healthy."
Zhou Yunwan finally felt relieved, closed her eyes peacefully, and let the nurse transfer her to the general ward.
The winter wind was blowing coldly, and the city of Beijing, which had just snowed, was covered in white.
The long-lost sunlight passed through the tightly closed windows and shone into the ward. A tall and handsome man was holding a baby in a cradle with a gentle expression. He swayed his body in a small arc, as if he was coaxing the baby to sleep.
Zhou Yunwan woke up slowly and saw such a beautiful scene at first glance.
She watched quietly for a while, then met the gaze of Shen Yanli who turned his head to look over.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
There are not many moments in life that can be called happy, and this is one of them.
She believes that the future will always be happy.
