Filled with hope for the future, Qian Ziyi revealed her little wish to Gu Yunxi more than once: "Yunxi, you know how much I want to have a daughter, so we can arrange a marriage between our children." Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she could already see the two families becoming even closer because of the union of their children.
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but smile as she listened to Qian Ziyi's fantasies. She knew that this was Qian Ziyi's deep love for her unborn child and her cherishment of the friendship between the two families: "Of course, no problem, Ziyi. If your little princess gets along well with our Ruizhe in the future, it would be quite interesting for our two families to arrange a marriage between our children."
Upon hearing Gu Yunxi's reply, Qian Ziyi's smile widened even more: "That's wonderful! I'm already imagining her wearing a pretty little dress and playing with Ruizhe."
Two close friends sat on a comfortable sofa in the afternoon sun, continuing to dream about the future. They talked about the children's possible shared interests and imagined the wonderful times they would spend growing up together.
He Ruizhe listened to the adults' conversation. Although he didn't quite understand what "arranged marriage" meant, he knew it meant he would have a little friend, which made him very excited: "Mom, I will take good care of my little sister!"
Gu Yunxi and Qian Ziyi smiled at each other. They knew that although these fantasies were far away, the children's innocence and friendship were real, and this innocence and friendship would become the most precious bond between them.
As time passed, Qian Ziyi's due date drew closer, and her fantasies and expectations became more concrete. Gu Yunxi supported and encouraged her, looking forward to the arrival of the new life and happy about the potential new connection between the two families.
Months later, Qian Ziyi gave birth to a healthy baby girl at the hospital, just as she had wished. Upon hearing the news, Gu Yunxi and her family were overjoyed for Qian Ziyi and Lu Jingang. They prepared a special gift—a beautiful photo album that documented every moment of Qian Ziyi's pregnancy, as well as their hopes and blessings for the future.
Gu Yunxi, accompanied by He Ruizhe and gifts, visited Qian Ziyi and the newborn at the hospital. He Ruizhe was filled with curiosity about the little girl and softly asked Gu Yunxi, "Mommy, can I touch the little sister?"
Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded, instructing her son to be gentle: "Of course, Ruize, but you must be gentle, the baby is very delicate."
In the hospital ward, Qian Ziyi held her little daughter, her face filled with happiness and contentment. Seeing Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe arrive, she greeted them happily, "Yunxi, Ruizhe, come see my little princess!"
He Ruizhe approached cautiously, looking at the sleeping little girl with eyes full of affection: "Aunt Qian, she's so small and cute."
Gu Yunxi handed the photo album she had brought to Qian Ziyi: "Ziyi, this is a gift we prepared for you. We hope you like it."
Qian Ziyi took the photo album and flipped through it page by page. Each photo evoked beautiful memories for her. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Yunxi, this is so precious. I will cherish it."
Lu Jingang stood aside, looking at Gu Yunxi gratefully: "Thank you, Yunxi, you are always so thoughtful."
Gu Yunxi waved her hand gently: "We are good friends, there's no need to be so polite."
The ward was filled with a warm atmosphere, and Qian Ziyi's bedside was surrounded by smiling faces from both families. They brought flowers, gifts, and heartfelt blessings, making the small space exceptionally lively.
Gu Yunxi noticed that the ward was a bit crowded because of the arrival of her relatives. She said softly to her son, "Ruize, let's make some room for the other elders." Her tone revealed her thoughtfulness and respect.
He Ruizhe nodded, and obediently moved aside with Gu Yunxi to make room for other relatives to get closer to Qian Ziyi and the newborn. Although he was young, he had already learned to offer support and understanding when the adults needed it.
Qian Ziyi looked at Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth: "Thank you everyone, your presence makes me feel very happy."
Lu Jingang also expressed his gratitude: "Yes, we feel very warm with you all here."
The family members in the ward took turns holding the newborn, each with a happy smile on their face. They spoke softly with Qian Ziyi, inquiring about her health, and praising the newborn highly.
He Ruizhe observed quietly from the side, feeling the unity and love of the extended family. He knew that although he was still young, he would one day take on the responsibility of caring for his younger sister.
As time passed, the relatives gradually dispersed, and the ward returned to tranquility. Before leaving, Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe once again expressed their blessings to Qian Ziyi: "Ziyi, get some rest, we will come to see you and the baby again."
Qian Ziyi watched them leave with gratitude, her heart filled with beautiful expectations for the future. In this loving family, she knew that she and her daughter would receive the best care and support.
Gu Yunxi's car slowly drove into the familiar garage. She and her son, He Ruizhe, had just finished their visit to the hospital and were returning home with a sense of joy and warmth. As they stepped through the door, they were greeted by the warm greetings and expectant looks from her parents-in-law.
Huang Haitang, as the elder in the family, always looked forward to and cared for every new life in the family. As soon as she saw Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe return, she couldn't wait to go forward to greet them, her face beaming with a concerned smile: "How was it? Did Ziyi give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Infected by Huang Haitang's enthusiasm, Gu Yunxi replied with a smile, "Ziyi gave birth to a lovely little girl, and we are all happy for her."
Upon hearing that it was a girl, Huang Haitang's eyes flashed with surprise: "Girls are good, girls are thoughtful." She then turned to He Ruizhe and asked gently, "Ruize, do you think the little girl is cute?"
He Ruizhe nodded, a pure smile on his face: "The little girl is so small and soft, I will protect her from now on."
The atmosphere at home became even more harmonious and joyful with the arrival of the newborn. Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe shared their experiences at the hospital, recounting Qian Ziyi's and the newborn's condition, allowing the whole family to feel the happiness and hope brought by the new life.
