Sweetie, sleep with me tonight.

Upon receiving news that Jiang Youxi was feeling unwell, He Zhuo immediately drove to the hospital.

Seeing her sitting alone on the bench in the corridor, looking down at the report in her hand, He Zhuo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His inner unease gave rise to unfounded fear.

"Xi Xi!" He strode over, knelt down in front of her, and carefully examined her body. "I heard from the director that you're not feeling well. Is something wrong?"

Jiang Youxi stared at him intently, a smile involuntarily playing on her lips: "A-Zhuo, you're really amazing!"

He Zhuo was completely bewildered by her actions: "What?"

Jiang Youxi handed him the report: "Azhuo, I'm pregnant."

The word "pregnant" struck the man like a thunderbolt.

He Zhuo was shocked and quickly took the pregnancy test report to look at it.

Inspection results——

Pregnancy: Week 5.

The fetus is perfectly healthy.

He Zhuo's hands trembled slightly with excitement; he still could hardly believe this enormous "surprise."

"Xixi, you...you're really pregnant?"

"Mmm." Jiang Youxi cupped his face in her hands. "Azhuo, Xiaoxu has come back to see us."

The hospital was very busy during this period, and she was also very sleepy, so she got up very late every day. Worried about being late, she would rush to the hospital as soon as she got up.

Looking back now, it's been half a month since her last urine test.

No wonder she's been so sleepy lately, it turns out she's pregnant.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man pulled her into a tight embrace.

He Zhuo was moved and delighted: "Yes, Xiao Xu is finally back."

Upon learning of her pregnancy, He Zhuo immediately explained the reason to the hospital director and requested a year and a half of maternity leave.

Jiang Youxi thought he was exaggerating: "The hospital is short-staffed lately. If I take leave, won't the staff shortage be even worse?"

"It's alright, I'll recommend a few more renowned doctors to the hospital to temporarily take your place and complete the hospital's work."

"But I still want to go back to work." Jiang Youxi tugged at his hand. "Once my pregnancy is stable, I want to go back to work."

With such a long pregnancy, if she stays at home all the time, it can really wear down her willpower.

"But I'm worried about you and Xiaoxu."

"What's there to worry about? I work in a hospital, so even if something happens, I can provide immediate treatment. Everything will be fine."

He Zhuo compromised: "We'll go back after we get through the first four months smoothly."

"Okay!" Jiang Youxi tiptoed and kissed her. "Honey, thank you."

He Zhuo gently patted her head: "Xi Xi, let's wait together for Xiao Xu to be born safely, okay?"

"it is good."

-

For the first four months, He Zhuo was really worried about her. In order to take care of her in every way, He Zhuo brought most of his work home to do. He would only go to the company for some things that had to be done there. He would postpone other projects and activities as much as possible, and delegate them to others.

Jiang Youxi also had a very relaxed and comfortable first four months thanks to He Zhuo's meticulous care and companionship every day.

After the pregnancy stabilized, Jiang Youxi went back to work.

The hospital director and her colleagues knew she was pregnant, so they voluntarily reduced her workload, letting her only handle outpatient visits and leaving the surgical work to other doctors.

With the understanding and care of the doctors, and the meticulous care of He Zhuo, Jiang Youxi spent the first eight months of her life, and took maternity leave a month before her due date.

As Jiang Youxi's due date approached, her pregnant belly grew larger, and she experienced several times more hardship than in the previous months.

Fortunately, with He Zhuo's help, she didn't feel too tired.

In the last month, He Zhuo stayed by her side every day, massaging her, monitoring the fetal heartbeat, and providing emotional support to alleviate her anxiety.

While on maternity leave at home, Jiang Youxi couldn't sit still. In addition to exercising regularly every day, she also started tidying up Jiang Xu's things.

Although he disappeared, his bedroom still retains all the things that were there before him.

Before she became pregnant, Jiang Youxi didn't even have the courage to enter this room.

Because she was afraid that once she went inside, she wouldn't be able to control her longing for him.

But now that he has returned, and the mother and son are about to meet again, the anticipation of their reunion fills her heart, making Jiang Youxi unable to hide her joy and excitement.

She neatly folded Jiang Xu's clothes one by one and put them away in their proper places.

As soon as He Zhuo returned, he saw her packing her things. He immediately put down what he was holding and strode over: "If you need anything, just have Aunt Zhang get it for you. Don't bother with it yourself."

"It's nothing, I was just tidying up Xiaoxu's things, and it's all done," Jiang Youxi said, looking at the clean bedroom she had made herself, feeling happy. "I was just trying to feel the traces of Xiaoxu's presence."

He Zhuo picked her up and carried her away.

He placed her on the sofa, opened the bag, and was about to take out her favorite snacks when Jiang Youxi suddenly frowned.

He Zhuo's expression changed: "Xi Xi, what's wrong?"

"My stomach... my stomach hurts a little."

Upon seeing the amniotic fluid, Aunt Zhang exclaimed in alarm, "Second Young Master, hurry to the hospital! Madam is about to give birth!"

He Zhuo then realized what was happening and immediately scooped her up in his arms and carried her outside, saying, "Aunt Zhang, take the maternity bag!"

"Okay, okay."

-

After more than four hours of effort, a loud baby cry finally rang out from the delivery room.

The delivery room door opened, and a nurse came out carrying the baby to announce the good news: "Congratulations Mr. He on the birth of a handsome little boy! The baby weighs 3.1kg, and both mother and child are safe and sound."

He Zhuo had no interest in listening to any of this; all his attention was focused on Jiang Youxi in the delivery room.

"How is my wife? Is she alright?"

"Mr. He, please rest assured, your wife is doing well and will be out soon. Please wait patiently."

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

Soon, Jiang Youxi was wheeled out of the delivery room and into a regular ward.

As soon as she returned to her room, Jiang Youxi, disregarding her exhaustion from childbirth, only wanted to see her child.

He Zhuo handed the child to her and said softly, "Xi Xi, Xiao Xu is back."

Jiang Youxi's eyes instantly welled up with tears when she saw the beauty mark under the child's eye.

It really is Jiang Xu.

She stretched out her finger and tapped his little cheek with a smile.

As if in response, Jiang Xu grasped her fingers with his small fingers.

Jiang Youxi was both surprised and delighted. She shook her finger and said softly—

"Xiao Xu, it's been a long time."

"I'm also very happy to be your mother."
