Su Yingxue smiled slightly, with a flash of memory in her eyes: "When I was pregnant with the seven babies, I was lying in the hospital every day. It was really hard back then. Now it's just two babies, I can hold on."
Tan Zhengchu looked at her stubbornness, and felt distressed. He closed his business briefcase and gently held her in his arms: "Okay, as long as you can hold on, I will stay with you."
Su Yingxue leaned in his arms and sighed softly: "I really hope the day of delivery will come soon. There are more and more spots on my belly, and my weight is increasing. I'm afraid..."
Tan Zhengchu interrupted her, his tone gentle but firm: "What are you afraid of? No matter what you become, I like you."
Su Yingxue raised her head with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes: "But I'm afraid that you will dislike my out-of-shape figure and lose interest in me."
Tan Zhengchu kissed her forehead gently and whispered, "Silly, you are the woman I love most. Pregnancy is only temporary. When the baby is born, I will help you get back to your figure, but in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."
He knew that pregnant women would have mood swings, especially when the due date was approaching, and they were prone to overthinking. He had to accommodate her emotions to prevent her from suffering from postpartum depression.
Su Yingxue suddenly turned her head away, and said angrily: "If you dislike me, I will take my four babies and leave you!"
Tan Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and test me."
He gently held her hand, his eyes full of doting: "Don't worry, my love will not change because of your changes in body shape. You will always be my Su Yingxue, this will never change."
Su Yingxue finally felt a little tired and slowed down her pace: "I'd better lie down for a while."
Tan Zhengchu quickly helped her to the bed and carefully helped her lie down. He looked at her bulging belly, his eyes full of tenderness: "Your belly is so big, you must have worked hard."
He gently touched her belly and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Su Yingxue shook her head. Although she had a good appetite during pregnancy, she didn't want to add to the burden of weight problems: "No, I'm not hungry."
The room was quiet, Su Yingxue closed her eyes, but her mind was full of thoughts. She knew that she had become a little hypocritical during this pregnancy, always crying and having wild thoughts. She was not like this before, but now, facing the changes in her body and the upcoming new life, her mood became complicated and contradictory.
She sighed softly and whispered, "Zhengchu, I will try my best to recover after the baby is born."
Tan Zhengchu sat by the bed, holding her hand, his eyes full of determination: "Don't worry, I will be with you and face everything together."
Su Yingxue leaned in his arms, her heart filled with warmth. She knew that no matter what the future held, as long as he was by her side, everything would be fine.
…
In the room, Tan Zhengchu sat by the bed, talking softly to Su Yingxue. His fingers gently stroked the back of her hand, his eyes gentle and focused. Su Yingxue leaned against the head of the bed, smiling slightly, sharing her recent feelings with him.
At this moment, the servant knocked on the door gently, his voice was a little hurried: "Master, Madam, there is news from the Madam."
Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue raised their heads at the same time. Su Yingxue's expression changed slightly: "What happened to Mom?"
The servant walked in quickly, with a hint of nervousness in her tone: "Madam has been sent to the hospital. She is an elderly pregnant woman, and there has been a doctor at home recently, so when they found out something was wrong, they sent her there immediately."
Su Yingxue sat up, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "It's normal to give birth a few days early, right? Isn't mom's due date still a few days away?"
Tan Zhengchu also stood up, walked to Su Yingxue, and gently held her shoulders: "Don't worry, Dad and Xiaofan will take care of you in the hospital, nothing will happen."
Su Yingxue nodded and said softly, "I understand. Please ask the servant to leave."
The servant hesitated for a moment and added, "The old lady also said that the young master should be more awake at night, and if there is any situation with the young mistress, he must tell them immediately."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly, her tone somewhat helpless: "I thought my baby would be born earlier than mom's, but I didn't expect it to be a step slower."
She gently stroked her belly, with a hint of regret in her tone: "I have been exercising every day recently, climbing stairs, taking walks, hoping to give birth soon, but there is still no movement."
Tan Zhengchu gently held her hand and comforted her: "It's not the due date yet, don't worry. Every baby has its own rhythm."
He smiled, with a hint of fondness in his eyes: "I haven't experienced it either, so I don't have any ideas. But you've worked hard."
Su Yingxue held Tan Zhengchu's hand and said softly, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
Tan Zhengchu nodded, but still stood up and walked to the desk, ready to take the laptop to the outer room: "Computer radiation is not good for the baby, I will take it out."
When he returned to the bedroom, Su Yingxue had already closed her eyes and her breathing gradually became steady. She had been a little sleepy recently, and her physical fatigue made it easy for her to fall asleep.
Tan Zhengchu lay down gently and put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulders, but he didn't dare to hold her too tightly, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable or touch her belly. He looked at her sleeping face with a sidelong glance, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Su Yingxue's eyelashes were very long and trembling slightly. Even in her sleep, she was still very beautiful.
Tan Zhengchu sighed softly and whispered, "It's really hard to take care of a pregnant woman."
Recently, when Su Yingxue got up at night to go to the bathroom, he would accompany her, fearing that she would fall. During the day, Su Yingxue would catch up on her sleep, but he could only handle work when she was sleeping. Although he was tired, he never complained because he knew that all this was for her and the child.
After watching Su Yingxue fall asleep, Tan Zhengchu slowly closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep.
After a busy day, a look of fatigue gradually appeared on his face.
…
It was late at night and the moonlight was shining through the curtains into the room.
Su Yingxue was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a muffled sound - a "bang", and then she felt liquid flowing out of her body. She sat up suddenly and called Tan Zhengchu in panic: "Zhengchu, Zhengchu!"
Tan Zhengchu was awakened, and opened his eyes drowsily. Seeing Su Yingxue's frightened expression, he instantly woke up: "What's wrong? Yingxue, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Yingxue held his hand tightly, her voice trembling: "I... I feel something strange in my body, as if my water broke. Am I going to have a baby?"
Tan Zhengchu's expression instantly turned serious. He quickly lifted the quilt and saw the wet sheets. His heart tightened: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
