Chapter 976: I’ve Never Gone Against My Heart
When Mu Qiqi was nine months pregnant, she rarely went out. However, she would attend some training courses with Sheng Xiao for new parents.
It was very strange. Even though Mu Qiqi herself was a medical student, when it came to parenting, she reflected the characteristics of a science student. Sheng Xiao could learn many things in one go and yet, she had to learn them several times. Could she really be dumber than Master Xiao?
Whether it was dressing the child, changing diapers, or even bathing the child, she would embody the clumsiness of a science student.
“Why can’t I learn it?”
Sheng Xiao helped her sit down by the side. “When the child is born, there’ll be no room for you to carry it. At home, Mom and Fifth Aunt, Second Aunt, Old Master Shen, and a lot of people from the Sheng family will be the ones doing it. Do you think you’ll have a chance to carry the child?”
“If I can’t carry my baby, what am I going to do when I give birth?”
“Sit properly during your pregnancy.”
“So, you’re implying that everyone will like the baby, and will leave me alone.”
A woman in the late stages of pregnancy could get emotional very quickly. Sheng Xiao knew this very well. If he did not pay attention to his words, they would get misconstrued by this thing, just like now.
“What I mean is that everyone will help you and share the burden. You are only in your early twenties, you must recuperate well.”
“That’s more like it.”
Mu Qiqi was satisfied. She sat on the sofa and watched Master Xiao nimbly review and dress the baby again.
Recently, the baby had been moving very quickly. She did not know if it was because Fifth Aunt had fed it too much, but Mu Qiqi kept feeling that the naughty child would come out before the due date.
With the care of her family, she was not worried that no one would take care of the baby after it was born. She was simply afraid of giving birth, whether it was a natural birth or a C-section.
Even if it was painless now, it would still be hell for a month after giving birth.
When she was dissecting, it would only take a moment for her hand to cut open someone’s belly. However, the feeling of lying on the hospital bed sent a chill down her spine.
Back then, she was the one who insisted on having the baby. This was because Master Xiao was in his early thirties and the child of a parent his age would already be in primary school.
If she really waited until she was twenty-six, wouldn’t Master Xiao be an old man by then?
The two of them had been together for so many years and he had always been the one who had done everything for her behind the scenes. Other than making some small things, she had never done anything for him. Therefore, this child was her ultimate gift.
When they returned home at night, it was snowing in Jianchuan.
Mu Qiqi looked at the snowflakes outside and found it a little unbelievable.
After returning home, she drank the chicken soup that Fifth Aunt had prepared. Not long after she lay down, she felt that something was not right.
“Xiao Xiao, I’m in pain… It’s been hurting for a while. The baby must be coming early.”
Sheng Xiao had just sat down when he heard her shout. He quickly got up. “I’ll contact the hospital right away.”
Mu Qiqi quickly nodded.
Sheng Xiao quickly went downstairs and told Papa Sheng to drive. The whole family changed their clothes and took their things. They rushed to send the little thing to the hospital.
As it was her first labor, it took a long time. Hence, Mu Qiqi was in pain for several hours after she entered the hospital. However, as she was accompanied by the whole family and Sheng Xiao was by her side, Mu Qiqi did not feel that it was that difficult.
At five o’clock in the morning, Mu Qiqi’s labor pain duration was shortened by about five minutes. After the nurse’s examination, she said to Mama Sheng and the others, “Now, we’ll send the pregnant woman to the delivery room. Although family members can accompany her, in order not to cause the pregnant woman to be nervous, just one of you can stay with her. It’s best if it’s the husband.”
As the labor pain intensified, Mu Qiqi knew that the baby was about to come out, so she reminded herself that she had to conserve her strength. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to give birth naturally.
“Old Eight, stay with Xiao Qi inside. She’s risking her life for you,” said Mama Sheng as she patted Sheng Xiao on the shoulder.
Sheng Xiao was not wearing a suit at the moment. As he had been in a hurry to leave, he was only wearing a dark blue turtleneck sweater.
When he heard the little thing shouting in the delivery room, his heart tightened. He quickly went to get sterilized and followed the nurse into the delivery room.
Because of the pain, Mu Qiqi’s body was covered in sweat.
Sheng Xiao sat beside Mu Qiqi and wrapped his arm around her head. “It really hurts. Bite my arm.”
“Sob, sob. I don’t want you to stay here and see me look so ugly.” Mu Qiqi was a little resistant.
“I’ve seen all your ugly looks, but at this moment, you’re not ugly at all,” Sheng Xiao said in a low voice. “Do you want to know when I fell in love with you?”
Mu Qiqi’s attention was indeed drawn to this topic.
“The first time, in the small town hospital, you took off my pants. Do you still remember? At that time, I was injured and in a coma. I once saw you in a half-asleep state and thought to myself, ‘This thing really has guts. From now on, I’ll remember you.’
“When I heard that you were sold by my uncle, my first reaction was that you touched my body and you are mine. No one can sell my things.
“Everything that happened after that just got deeper and deeper.”
When Mu Qiqi heard that, she completely forgot to record the frequency of the pain. She quickly asked, “Then, when I was secretly in love with you, did you already like me?”
“What do you think?”
“You’re too cunning.” Mu Qiqi endured the pain and stared at him. “But I’m just a little girl. Being abandoned and schemed against by others doesn’t suit you at all. Why would you like me?”
“Well… who knows? If I like you, I like you. I’ve never gone against my heart,” Sheng Xiao said as he played with her damp hair.
“After I give birth to the baby, next year, can you take me skiing abroad and show me the aurora?”
“I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go.”
It had been a long time since the doctors and nurses in the delivery room had seen such a warm scene. Of course, they knew who was giving birth and who the person accompanying her was.
Outside the delivery room, Mama Sheng and the others paced back and forth. “Why isn’t the child born yet? It’s already been two hours…”
“Madam, don’t be anxious. Old Eight is inside. He will take care of Xiao Qi’s emotions,” Papa Sheng quickly said.
“You men don’t understand.” Mama Sheng sat on the chair nervously and sighed. “Poor Xiao Qi…”
“Madam, don’t worry. Our entire family is accompanying Xiao Qi.”
How could Mama Sheng listen to her at this moment?
Although Eighth Brother was inside, she knew very well how dangerous it was for a woman to give birth.
Half an hour later, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao’s first baby was finally born.
It was so chubby, which was why Mu Qiqi used up so much of her physical strength. It was all because Fifth Aunt took care of her too well.
