Chapter 71 The lady is about to give birth!
Army Hospital.
Wen Zhongda looked up at the person who came in, then got up and closed the door.
Lin Wenxuan took off his hat and scratched his head: "How is it?"
Wen Zhongda: "Don't worry, I went to the Lu family. Tianming didn't seem to be acting strangely. Maybe she didn't notice anything. Perhaps you're just overthinking it."
Lin Wenxuan: "The Japanese were chasing me like dogs. She was the one who showed me the way. Maybe she even helped me get rid of them. At my younger sister's wedding last time, the way she looked at me didn't seem like she didn't remember me. How could you say she didn't notice anything?"
Moreover, he had checked and found that Shen Rong knew those Japanese people.
Wen Zhongda twirled the pen in his hand and said, "How about this, I'll report to the organization and temporarily transfer you away from Bincheng."
Lin Wenxuan objected: "That won't do. There are still many things waiting for me to do in Bincheng."
Wen Zhongda: "Someone else will take over, and your return won't affect anything. If what you say is true, and Shen Rong discovers something, you'll be exposed quickly when Lu Lin investigates. To be on the safe side, you should leave." Moreover, Jincheng has been getting very close to the Dou family recently, and their situation isn't good. Bincheng is of great importance and can't be gambled on.
Lin Wenxuan sighed and said, "Fine, I accept the arrangement."
***
A week later, the news of Mrs. Han and Commander Han's formal divorce was published. Han Xiwen was quite generous, leaving most of his wealth to Xu Youzhen and even buying her a house in Pingcheng.
This can be considered a model of amicable parting.
Shen Rong: "It's good to be rich."
Lu Lin noticed the hint of envy in her tone and glanced at her.
Cao Fengyi called her and said that Xu Youzhen was leaving Bincheng the day after tomorrow, asking if she wanted to see her off.
Shen Rong glanced down at her protruding belly, and Lu Lin shook his head at her warningly.
In the end, she didn't go to see the person off; she just had someone send her twenty yuan as a gift.
A few days later, Kang Wenbai and Guo Yuying's wedding arrived. Lin Wenhui asked her if she would attend. Actually, she wanted to find a companion, but Shen Rong declined because of her health condition and only sent a red envelope.
Unexpectedly, a few days after the wedding, Guo Yuying came to visit, specifically to deliver wedding candy.
She looked sweet and happy, and even her gaze towards Shen Rong softened.
"Mrs. Lu, thank you for the wedding gift. I feel that I should give you these wedding candies in person. I was so grateful that you reminded me to ask Wenbai about his feelings. That's how I found out that he also has feelings for me."
Shen Rong's smile froze, as if she had swallowed a fly.
That's not what she meant. She wanted Guo Yuying to come to her senses. Who knew that Kang Wenbai was truly a lotus root spirit reincarnated, with a mind full of tricks and the ability to pull out threads.
"As long as you feel happy, that's fine. But marriage requires effort, so keep an eye on Kang Wenbai," Shen Rong kindly reminded him.
Guo Yuying misunderstood her meaning and said, "I won't control him. Wenbai is free. Although we are married, I will not interfere with his friendships."
Shen Rong secretly rolled her eyes. Well, just wait and see him find someone else. Kang Wenbai is a dog; if you don't keep him on a leash, he'll roam around doing whatever he wants.
Aside from Kang Wenbai, the two had plenty to talk about. It was getting late, and Lu Lin had finished get off work. She had originally planned to stay for dinner, but upon seeing Lu Lin, she hurriedly said goodbye.
Shen Ren smiled, clearly still traumatized by Lu Lin's previous actions.
Another half month passed, and a group of British and American inspection teams came to Bincheng. They also brought their female relatives. Dou Wenliang heard from somewhere that Shen Rong was good at English and actually wanted her to be a translator.
Upon hearing this, Shen Rong was startled, her face paled instantly, and she clutched her stomach, crying out in pain.
Lu Lin was still smiling at first, but when he saw that her expression was a little off, he hurriedly stepped over and put his arm around her, telling her not to be nervous.
"I politely declined for you. Don't worry, they just asked if you had any connections." He thought Shen Rong had been so frightened that she had a stitch in her side.
Lu Lin regretted that he shouldn't have teased her.
Shen Rong took deep breaths, no longer able to think about these things; she felt that her stomach was hurting in a strange way.
Zhang Ma came out of the kitchen and exclaimed, "Madam is about to give birth!"
Lu Lin's pupils contracted, and he roared, "Prepare the car, to the hospital!" His voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
***
Cao Fengyi teased the baby in the swaddling clothes, then turned to Shen Rong and laughed, "You really gave birth to an extraordinary child. I heard that Director Lu was so frightened that he almost called all the doctors in the city."
Shen Rong looked embarrassed: "It's not that exaggerated."
"Luckily you didn't suffer too much, otherwise he would have torn the hospital down."
According to the nurses, on the way to the delivery room that day, the two of them made such a commotion that it sounded like a life-or-death separation, which made the doctor very worried, thinking that it was some kind of serious situation.
Shen Rong recalled how she had held Lu Lin's hand, crying and saying she was scared and didn't want to die; that scene was somewhat embarrassing.
She pulled the blanket up a little higher. She was inexperienced and felt like she was about to be tortured to death! Of course, she was screaming and crying.
"Didn't your sister-in-law experience pain when she gave birth?"
Cao Fengyi sat down to the side, and sighed as she recalled the past: "How could it not hurt? I was in so much pain that I wanted to bite the bed leg, but my mother wouldn't let me scream, afraid that Wenliang would hear it from outside and feel bad."
What's the logic behind this?
He's in so much pain himself, why does he care what others think? He's not in pain, so what's wrong with hearing a few cries? That way he'll remember how his wife risked her life to give birth.
Cao Fengyi's eyes held a hint of envy: "Actually, everyone envies you, doesn't they? I heard that Lu Lin stayed with you in the delivery room for several hours."
She was only kicked out by the doctor when she was about to give birth, and the nurse later discovered that he had many bite and scratch wounds on his arm.
"He deserves it!" Shen Rong sneered.
If he hadn't said those things and made her nervous, she might not have started so quickly; he deserves it.
Cao Fengyi smiled and shook her head, asking her how long she would stay in the hospital.
Shen Rong said, "About a week, I don't know, Lu Lin didn't tell me."
Cao Fengyi glanced around and said in a low voice, "If there are no problems, you should go home and rest after childbirth. After all, this is a Japanese hospital."
Lu Lin was frightened at the time, thinking the situation was very serious, so he came to this Japanese hospital nearby.
But what did Cao Fengyi mean by that? Has the Japanese made any moves recently?
Seeing her confusion, Cao Fengyi explained in a low voice, "Recently, the old man's relationship with the Japanese has become somewhat strained, and this hospital is so close to the Japanese concession."
Shen Rong understood; she was worried that Japan would use this as an opportunity to cause trouble.
"I understand, thank you, sister-in-law." Cao Fengyi genuinely cared about her, which is why she offered this reminder.
Cao Fengyi: "Don't say such formal things. I really treat you like my own sister."
She sighed, "I'm afraid I won't have time to visit you for a while. You don't know, but my cousin's wish has come true. She's getting married to Commander Han. The old man asked me to help her with the arrangements."
She was a hundred times unwilling and didn't want to take on this troublesome matter. She was worried that after all her hard work, she might end up being blamed. But since she was the daughter-in-law, she couldn't refuse.
The commander-in-chief has been having a lot of troubles lately and is in a bad mood. He doesn't dare to mess with anyone, so she has no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Shen Rong: "It's a happy occasion after all, so I should congratulate you."
Cao Fengyi smiled wryly; she didn't think much of this marriage.
The child suddenly burst into loud crying, which gave Chen Rong a headache and made her look disgusted.
Gui Chun immediately came into the room to comfort the child upon hearing the noise. First, she checked the diaper, which was dry, indicating that the child was hungry.
The baby was brought to Chen Rong's side, and Gui Chun hurriedly went to prepare the formula.
Shen Rong gently patted the baby twice. The baby closed its eyes and arched its nose and mouth forward, much like a baby swallow opening its mouth wide to wait to be fed.
She teased him with her fingers, and the child got impatient, licking everything in sight.
Cao Fengyi had never seen a mother so mischievous: "Hurry up and feed her, she's starving."
"There's nothing we can do about it; the landlords have no surplus grain."
Cao Fengyi asked in surprise, "You don't have breast milk yet?"
Shen Rong nodded.
Cao Fengyi said with disdain, "It's a pity that such a big pair of legs are just for decoration."
Chen Rong frowned, "Who says that bigger breasts necessarily mean more milk?"
Babies have limited patience. After being teased by their mothers for a while, they got angry and cried their hearts out.
Shen Rong was flustered and tried to coax him, but Cao Fengyi couldn't stand it and took the door from her. The door was pushed open and Lu Lin strode in.
He placed the food box on the table, instructed Lu Xuan, who followed him in, to open it for Shen Rong, and then took the child to soothe him.
Seeing that he looked quite convincing, Cao Fengyi smiled and winked at Shen Rong.
Gui Chun finally prepared the milk powder. Lu Lin carefully tested the temperature before feeding it to the child, who sucked hard.
Cao Fengyi went over and took a look: "This child has a good appetite."
She had been there for a while, then got up to leave, saying to Shen Rong, "You eat first, I'm going back now, I still have a lot of things to do at home."
Lu Lin carried the child and saw her to the door.
"The child is too young, don't take him out to catch a cold." Cao Fengyi lovingly touched the child's little hand.
This child is quite adept at picking up the best traits from his parents.
Cao Fengyi regretted not having a daughter, otherwise she would have definitely made a move to arrange a marriage with this young man.
Looking at the soup, Shen Rong could tell it was a lactation-promoting soup specially prepared for her by Zhang Ma.
"Don't you have an appetite?" Lu Lin asked her.
Shen Rong nodded honestly: "If he doesn't want to drink this, does he have to drink milk?"
Lu Lin was speechless. She wanted to feed her newborn son rice?
Breastfeeding means not being able to eat her favorite spicy and savory foods. Just thinking about this makes Shen Rong feel wronged.
The mother and son had the exact same aggrieved expression. Lu Lin chuckled inwardly, touched his son's little face, and casually said, "Just drink formula."
Shen Rong looked at him with surprise: "Really? Let him drink milk powder?"
Lu Lin nodded and hummed in agreement.
Actually, when Zhang Ma learned that Shen Rong didn't have enough breast milk, she suggested that Lu Lin hire a wet nurse for the child, but he rejected it. They didn't know anything about the person they hired on short notice, or their health condition. Besides, Shen Rong would definitely not agree. Fortunately, their family could afford formula.
Having received his confirmation, Shen Rong happily prepared to eat.
