These past few days have been Ouyang Qian's due date, and the entire Li family is immersed in an atmosphere of both tension and excitement.
To ensure everything went smoothly, the Li family suggested that she go to the hospital to prepare for childbirth.
Because they knew someone at the hospital, they didn't feel flustered.
"Shuting, Qianqian's belly is so big, will there be any problems with delivery?"
Chen Shuting took off the stethoscope, turned around and looked into her sister's eyes to comfort her.
"Sister, Qianqian is perfectly healthy, it's just that the baby is too big."
"Qianqian, don't be afraid, relax."
Ouyang Qian gently stroked her belly and said softly with a smile, "Auntie, with you all by my side, I'm not afraid."
It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, but she couldn't let her family worry more. Ah Chen hadn't slept well for several days, and sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and see him staring blankly at the child.
So she tried to relax, adjust her mindset, and welcome the arrival of the new life.
Chen Shufang comforted Ouyang Qian, saying, "Your aunt is right, your family is all around you, don't be afraid."
"Qianqian, your parents will always be there for you."
Ouyang's mother was a little envious; her daughter had really suffered a lot in order to get pregnant.
If her son-in-law weren't such a good person, she really wouldn't want her daughter to suffer.
Ouyang Qian held her mother's and mother-in-law's hands; their hands were warm, which really gave her a lot of courage.
In the middle of the night, Ouyang Qian started her own business.
Li Hanchen held her hand and lay beside her. At the slightest sound, he would open his eyes and turn on the light.
At this moment, Ouyang Qian's face was covered in cold sweat, and she was clutching her stomach and screaming in agony.
He kissed her hand and asked anxiously, "Qianqian, what's wrong?"
Ouyang Qian gripped the man's hand tightly and took a deep breath, "Ah Chen, it hurts so much..."
It really hurts, my stomach feels like it's being torn apart.
Li Hanchen immediately realized that she was about to give birth, and his pupils shrank. "Qianqian, just bear with it, I'll go call the doctor."
The next second, he ran frantically to call the doctor, who quickly came in to examine him and his expression became serious.
He instructed the nurse beside him, "Arrange the surgery immediately."
The nurses proceeded in an orderly manner.
"Dr. Feng, my wife is in a lot of pain. Is there any way to reduce the pain?"
Li Hanchen frowned, clearly very worried.
Dr. Feng shook his head. "This is something every mother has to go through. She can only get through it on her own. Don't worry, I just checked, and your wife's body is perfectly normal. She will definitely have a safe delivery."
Looking at his wife's pale face, Li Hanchen said firmly, "Dr. Feng, I want to go into the operating room."
"this……"
Dr. Feng hesitated. She and Shuting were best friends, and she was well aware of the relationship between Li Hanchen and his wife.
"don't want."
Ouyang Qian grabbed her husband's sleeve and shook her head vigorously, "Achen, don't go in."
Giving birth is a dirty and messy experience for women, and she didn't want Ah Chen to see her in such an unsightly state, especially since it would damage Ah Chen's reputation if word got out.
Li Hanchen wiped the sweat from her forehead, then leaned down to kiss her eyes, which held a hint of longing in them. "Wife, I want to share this burden with you."
Ouyang Qian bit her lip, her voice tinged with pleading, "Could you wait outside?"
Even though the pain made her whole body numb, she still managed to force a smile to reassure him not to worry.
Dr. Feng then spoke up, "The equipment is ready; we can move it into the operating room."
Seeing that his wife was determined, Li Hanchen had no choice but to go along with her.
"I will always be waiting for you outside. Qianqian, you must be strong and give birth to our child."
After saying that, she stood up and looked at Dr. Feng, expressing her sincere gratitude, "Dr. Feng, please take care of me."
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
Dr. Feng smiled at him and gestured for a nurse to take the person into the operating room.
Li Hanchen quickly went to the front desk to call his family.
Considering he wouldn't sleep well in the hospital, he didn't have any of his elders accompany him today.
Since Ouyang Qian was hospitalized, Chen Shufang has moved the phone to the bedroom, afraid that she might not get the news about Qianqian's condition immediately.
"Ringling..."
The two people sleeping on the bed immediately opened their eyes. Chen Shufang asked in confusion, "Old Li, could it be A-Chen who called back?"
"I'll go listen."
Li Yuan stood up and picked up the phone. He was silent for two seconds before saying in a deep voice, "You stay there with Qianqian. I'll call my in-laws."
As Chen Shufang changed her clothes, she asked, "Is Qianqian about to give birth?"
"Um."
Li Yuan answered his wife's question and then immediately dialed his in-laws' number.
At the same time, a small villa was also brightly lit up as people rushed to the hospital.
Li Yuehuan yawned and came out of the bedroom. "Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"
"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and your father and I are heading over now."
"Mom, wait for me, I want to go too. I'll go inside and change my clothes first."
She instantly snapped out of it, turned around, and ran upstairs.
Chen Shufang and her husband exchanged a glance. Li Yuan closed his eyes and said, "Let her go. It's the weekend anyway."
Since Lao Li had said so, she agreed.
The group happened to meet at the hospital entrance.
"Mother-in-law..."
The two walked hand in hand to the operating room on the third floor. Han Chen had already told them the exact location over the phone.
As soon as they reached the third floor, they heard a familiar shout, and everyone's heart clenched immediately.
"Han Chen, how is Qianqian?"
Li Hanchen stood alone outside the operating room, listening to his wife's screams inside. Many times he wanted to rush in.
He never imagined childbirth would be so painful. Regardless of whether this child is a boy or a girl, he will not have a second child.
He nodded to his family and looked at his two mothers, "Mom, Qianqian has been inside for half an hour."
Seeing that her son was restless, Chen Shufang comforted him, "It's okay, childbirth just takes a little longer."
"The doctors all said that Qianqian is very healthy and there will be no problems."
Everyone crowded tightly outside the operating room door, their hearts filled with tension and worry, their eyes fixed on the closed door.
Li Yuehuan was also startled by Ouyang Qian's scream. Is childbirth really that terrifying?
She wasn't even there when her second sister-in-law gave birth to An'an and Yuanyuan. All she knew was that An'an and Yuanyuan were fair-skinned and rosy-cheeked, and didn't look like newborns at all.
Li Hanchen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He paced back and forth at the door, his eyes revealing an indescribable tension and worry. His hands were sometimes clenched into fists and sometimes relaxed, and his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
Even when faced with the most difficult situations, he remained calm and composed.
At that moment, he was truly afraid!
Time passed slowly, but for them it felt like an eternity as they prayed that Qianqian would give birth to the baby safely.
However, every time the operating room door opened, the nurses' hurried figures and serious expressions made their hearts clench even tighter.
With a dark expression, Li Hanchen asked anxiously, "Nurse, how is she?"
The young nurse was a little intimidated by him and stammered, "The baby is too big, she's still giving birth." After saying that, she opened the door and quickly went inside.
