Three hours have passed and the person still hasn't come out.

Jiang Lie was clearly getting anxious and couldn't help but ask, "Mother, do you think my wife is alright? Why hasn't she come out for so long, and there's been no sound from her? Can you go in and check on her?"

Zhang Shuhua patted her son's tense arm and comforted him, "Don't worry, the first birth is very slow."

"They might be out soon. Are you hungry? Why don't you ask your sister to go buy some food? Your wife must be hungry too."

The door creaked open.

A nurse came out carrying a swaddled baby and called out, "Is Wen Yao's family here? The baby has been born, and both mother and daughter are safe. Come and hold the baby."

"Checking her hands and feet, everything is fine. The little girl weighs exactly six pounds, quite chubby. Her skin is really good; I've never seen a baby born with such fair skin."

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Jiang Lie felt his head buzzing and stood motionless.

Jiang Baozhu rolled her eyes. Well, her brother was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but kick his shin: "Big brother, big brother, snap out of it! Hurry up and go hug your daughter."

"You've been talking about a nine-month-old daughter, not a boy. Are you finally satisfied?"

"My daughter, I have a daughter now."

Jiang Lie's heart was pounding. He walked over to the nurse and asked, "Nurse, how is my wife? Is she in pain? Is she feeling unwell anywhere?"

Seeing that he hadn't even looked at the child and kept asking about his wife, the nurse couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, your wife is fine. She just has a small wound that needs stitches, and she'll be out in a bit."

"Come over here and check the child's hands and feet. If everything is fine, you can pick him up and take him over. Be careful not to let him bump into anything."

"Okay, let me see."

Jiang Lie looked down at the little girl. Her round little face and the way she looked at people with her eyes wide open were simply melting. He reached out his finger to touch her, but stopped and withdrew it.

Forget it, I won't touch him. His fingers are rough; what if I hurt her and she cries?

"Mom, I'm heavy-handed and stiff, it'll definitely be uncomfortable for me to hold my daughter, why don't you hold her instead?"

Jiang Baozhu rushed over, eager to help: "I'll do it. I have experience. I've helped my second sister-in-law take care of her children before. Nurse, please let me handle it."

"Oh my, little one, it's your auntie. You're so pretty, your skin is so fair, unlike other kids who are all rosy. You're just like your mother, that's wonderful."

"Come here, Auntie will gently hug you. Can you see me? Remember Auntie. Auntie will buy you candied hawthorns later, hehe, I'll buy them for you when you grow your teeth."

Zhang Shuhua pushed her son away and said irritably, "Don't block the way, you're in the way."

Looking at the little one, she smiled lovingly: "You're so pretty and fair-skinned, just like a little dumpling. I'm your grandma, and grandma loves you the most~"

Seeing how much they cherished them, the nurse smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the ward and wait for the person to come. I'll go and teach you some precautions. If you don't understand, you can ask at the nurses' station."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Boss, you wait for your wife at the door. We'll take Little Baozi to the ward first and see if there's anything we need to do."

Jiang Lie stared expectantly at the delivery room and nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead, be careful not to bump or hurt my daughter."

After her wounds were treated, Wen Yao was wheeled out, her face pale and she looked very weak. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, "Where is the child?"

"Don't worry, honey. She's been taken to the ward. You'll see her soon. How are you feeling now? Where does it hurt?"

"Thankfully, the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so I don't feel anything for now."

The person was taken to the ward.

Jiang Baozhu took notes in her notebook, nodding repeatedly: "I understand, I'll write it all down. I'll ask if I don't understand anything. I'll make some formula for you to feed you later."

The nurse nodded: "Yes, it's okay. Once the mother feels better, you can try breastfeeding, which will be good for her recovery. But don't overexert yourself; she still needs to rest more."

"We'll take care of the wound. We'll teach you how to treat the wound after you're discharged. Just follow our instructions."

"You guys watch, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Lie sat on the stool by the bed, holding her hand tightly: "Wife, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."

Wen Yao was indeed exhausted. She had thought that childbirth would be painful and difficult, but she didn't expect it to be this painful. It was even more painful than having her bones broken. Now she was feeling a little better.

"Okay, have some water."

After drinking half a glass of water, her throat felt a little better. Wen Yao grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, "Bring the baby over so I can see him."

"Don't rush, I'll have Baozhu bring it over."

Jiang Baozhu smiled slyly: "Sister-in-law, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, the little girl looks like you, not my older brother. She has very fair skin, and her skin is pink and tender, making her especially pretty."

Wen Yao looked at the little girl who had been brought over, and gently touched her. The next second, her fingers were grasped by a small hand, and she gasped, her eyes widening slightly: "Does she recognize me?"

"Of course, the child stays with its mother. It stayed in its sister-in-law's belly for nine months, so it will definitely recognize her."

"Hey sister-in-law, why are you crying? Don't cry. Crying right after giving birth is bad for your eyes. It can make your vision blurry and you won't be able to see clearly later."

"Yes, I just couldn't control myself, and I actually gave birth to a baby."

Jiang Baozhu chuckled: "Haha, sister-in-law, that's so funny. Giving birth must be tiring, just get some sleep. Don't worry about us taking care of the baby."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep peacefully, a smile playing on her lips.

"Boss, your wife gave birth. Go call your in-laws and let them know so they won't worry."

"Oh yes, Mother is right, I'll go fight right now."

Jiang Lie hurriedly left the hospital, found a phone booth, and dialed. The call was quickly answered by a young man whose voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Hello, who is this?

I... am looking for Gu Heng.

[It's me. What do you need?]

[My brother is Jiang Lie. My wife gave birth today to a little girl. She's very fair-skinned and looks just like my wife. We'll go to the city in two months after she's fully recovered.]

Gu Heng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief: [Haha, good, it's good that you gave birth safely. Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll send it to you.]

We're all family, so don't be so polite. Also, please tell my younger sister that we can't visit her right now, and ask her not to be upset. We'll definitely come to see her when it's convenient for us.

That Xie Yan... it would be better if he weren't in Kyoto.

Jiang Lie nodded: "Okay, I understand, brother. You guys are busy, I'll take good care of Yao Yao, don't worry. Once she's better, we'll take some photos and send them to you."

"Okay, thank you for taking care of them. I'll tell my parents when I get back so they can rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lie rushed back to the ward to keep watch.
