Chapter 359: Welcome, our little princess
After the "false alarm" that night, Xiao Xuezhen's level of nervousness soared to the peak.
He simply stopped going to the company and stayed by Shi Runrun's side 24 hours a day, like a loyal knight, guarding his queen and the unborn little princess.
Finally, on the afternoon of the due date, Shi Runrun felt regular contractions in her stomach.
This time, the baby is really coming.
When Shi Runrun was helped onto the ambulance that had been waiting at the door, which was comparable to a mobile ICU, Xiao Xuezheng's face was as pale as a piece of paper.
Although he forced himself to remain calm, he directed everyone in an orderly manner according to the process that he had practiced countless times.
But his slightly trembling hands and the cold sweat that kept coming out of his forehead completely betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
Along the way, he held Shi Runrun's hand tightly and whispered in her ear over and over again.
"Runrun, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Take a deep breath. Yes, follow me. Inhale...exhale..."
"We'll be at the hospital soon, just hold on a little longer."
Although his voice had a barely perceptible tremor, it was like a calming force that was injected into Shi Runrun's heart, gradually calming her heart that was in a panic due to the pain.
The ambulance sped all the way and soon arrived at the private hospital which he named "Xiao's Royal Mother and Baby Hospital".
At the hospital entrance, the director and a group of top experts and nurses were already waiting in line.
Shi Runrun was immediately sent to the top-level LDRP delivery room that had been prepared long ago.
The delivery room is equipped with all kinds of advanced medical equipment, and the environment is as warm as a suite in a five-star hotel.
Xiao Xuezheng changed into sterile clothes and insisted on accompanying her into the delivery room.
Seeing that he looked so nervous that he was about to faint, the doctors and nurses were worried and wanted to persuade him to go out and wait.
But he was extremely stubborn.
"I have to stay with her." His tone was filled with unquestionable determination.
He wanted to watch his wife give birth to their child with his own eyes.
He wanted to accompany her through the most difficult and greatest moments of her life.
The process of childbirth is long and painful.
Shi Runrun's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her originally rosy lips turned pale because of the pain.
She held Xiao Xuezheng's hand tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
But he seemed not to feel the pain. He just leaned over and kept kissing away the sweat on her forehead and cheeks with his warm lips.
"Runrun, come on, try harder."
"I see the baby's head. It's almost out."
"You're the best, honey. You've worked so hard."
His voice was extremely hoarse and his eyes were frighteningly red.
He looked at her face twisted in pain, and his heart ached as if it was being torn apart.
If he could, he would have endured all this pain for her.
Finally, with everyone's efforts, a clear and loud cry echoed throughout the delivery room.
"Wow--"
"It's born! It's born! It's a beautiful little princess!" the nurse shouted excitedly.
The moment he heard the cry, Xiao Xue Zheng felt as if all his strength was drained away. His body swayed and he almost fell.
He looked at the tiny, wrinkled newborn baby in the nurse's arms, who looked like a little monkey. Hot tears instantly welled up in his deep black eyes.
This man who was so powerful in the business world and could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, was now crying like a child.
He did not immediately go to see his long-awaited daughter. Instead, he turned around, bent down, and used all his strength to hug tightly the exhausted woman he loved most on the bed.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, and his hot tears fell drop by drop on her skin.
"RunRun, thank you... thank you..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, his voice choked with sobs.
Thank you for bearing so much pain for me.
Thank you for giving me such a lovely daughter.
Thank you for making my life complete.
Although Shi Runrun felt weak all over, she still raised her hand and gently stroked the back of his hairy head, with a weak but happy smile on her face.
"Silly boy, why are you crying..."
The nurse cleaned the baby, wrapped him in a soft blanket, and brought him to them.
"Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, congratulations, the little princess is very healthy, weighing 6.8 jins."
Xiao Xue Zheng then raised his head, his eyes red, and carefully took the small, soft body of his daughter from the nurse's hands.
The little guy seemed to feel his father's embrace, and miraculously stopped crying. He opened his big, clear and bright eyes like black grapes and looked at this strange world curiously.
Her eyes look very much like Shi Runrun's.
Xiao Xuezheng's heart instantly turned into a pool of water.
He lowered his head and placed a kiss softer than a feather on that pink little face.
"Hello, my little princess." He whispered softly, "I'm Daddy."
He held his daughter in his arms and walked back to the bed. He and Shi Runrun leaned their heads against each other and looked at the fruit of their love together.
The warm sunlight streamed in through the window of the delivery room, casting a golden halo over the figures of the family of three.
The picture is as beautiful as a painting.
…
Shi Runrun stayed in the hospital's VIP suite for three days.
During these three days, Xiao Xue Zheng stayed by her side almost every step of the way.
Feeding, changing diapers, putting the baby to sleep... He did everything himself and learned it very well. He was more attentive than the most professional confinement nanny.
The once high and mighty President Xiao has now completely become a flustered super dad.
On the day of discharge, Fengfeng, Yanyan and Weilai also came to pick them up.
The three little ones gathered around the crib, looking at the tiny, pink and tender sister, their eyes full of curiosity and love.
"My sister is so small." Yanyan stretched out her little finger and carefully touched her sister's cheek.
"She looks like Mommy." Fengfeng also said in a low voice.
Although Weilai didn't say anything, the look in his eyes when he looked at his sister was full of a brother's desire to protect her.
Xiao Xue Zheng looked at this heartwarming scene and an unprecedented satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He walked over and held Shi Runrun, the three children, and the little princess in the crib in his arms.
"Let's go home."
The car drove steadily towards the Xiao family villa.
Shi Runrun leaned on Xiao Xuezheng's shoulder, looked at the familiar street scene outside the window, then looked at the children around her, her heart filled with something called happiness.
She thought that this was probably the life she wanted most in her life.
With him and them, there is a complete and warm home.
That’s enough.
