"It's a daughter, she was born a daughter."
"Don't get agitated, or the nurse might hear you. The baby's been born, wouldn't you like to go see him?" Although Tao Musheng couldn't see Ji Zhuo's face in the darkness, he could sense that the person in front of him seemed less tense.
Tao Musheng felt that he had really seen something new. It was the first time he had ever seen someone so excited when the woman he admired gave birth to another man's child.
"How can we find out? If she finds out her hiding place has been discovered, she'll definitely try to escape again. Given her current physical condition, escaping anywhere would only cause her more trouble." Ji Zhuo gazed in the direction of the Lin residence, his expression inscrutable.
Tao Musheng felt a pang of heartache looking at Ji Zhuo in his current state.
“Since you’re not going to look at it, then let’s go back to Beijing. Don’t you still have official business to attend to?” Tao Musheng tried to change the subject.
“I’ll be heading back soon, so don’t go back yet, just stay here.” Ji Zhuo’s tone became a little more relaxed at this point.
"Yes, I'll stay here and keep watch," Tao Musheng replied helplessly. In this courtyard, he had to be extremely careful even when going out, meticulously observing his surroundings; it was practically like being in prison. But he knew in his heart that if he didn't stay, Ji Zhuo would definitely not be at ease.
In Lin Xihe's courtyard, the tense and oppressive atmosphere dissipated like a wisp of smoke, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the midwife quickly and efficiently cleaned the baby, Ling Xue couldn't wait to reach out and gently hold the baby in her arms.
She knelt carefully before Lin Xihe's window, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, her voice trembling with excitement: "Miss, look at her, she's so small, and she's so adorable!"
Lin Xihe's face was pale, and her voice was weak but full of tenderness: "I really wanted to beat her up. It hurt so much that I almost went to see my great-grandmother."
Even so, she couldn't help but smile, her smile brimming with the joy of becoming a mother for the first time.
Despite the long and painful childbirth process, every minute and every second felt like torture, at this moment, looking at the little baby she had given birth to, her heart was filled with only satisfaction.
"You can't hit Xiaotangbao. How about letting Ling Shuang take a few hits for Xiaotangbao?" Ling Xue said with a doting expression.
"Yes, if you want to hit someone, hit me." Ling Shuang looked at Lin Xihe with heartache, her eyes reddening and tears welling up.
This was the first time she had ever experienced such a harrowing scene, and she was so heartbroken that she knelt by the bedside several times, letting her tears fall freely.
Lin Xihe watched this scene with a heart full of warmth, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep contentedly.
That night, she slept exceptionally well. Her extreme exhaustion left her no time to think about anything else, and in her dreams, all the pain had vanished.
