Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Su Xue bought quite a lot of things for Han Guoguo and their unborn baby, including many different kinds of clothes. They were quite nice, including half-back shirts, monk robes, and rompers with ties... However, the colors of each piece of clothing were rather awkward, being too bright.

Given that Han Guoguo's due date is approaching, everyone in the group is quite concerned. Plus, there are two pregnant women in the group, so they can discuss things together.

the next day.

Su Xue went to work as usual, leaving her child at home for her mother to help take care of. Su Yu also stayed home with Guo Guo instead of going to the company.

After lunch, the sun was shining brightly. Han Guoguo was sunbathing in the yard with her two children, her hands resting on her belly, looking incredibly relaxed. As her pregnancy progressed, she didn't dare to visit the Han family too often, and Sister Lu wouldn't allow it either.

With a ding, a text message came in on my phone. It was from Han's mother: Guoguo, are you feeling unwell today?

Han Guoguo: No, I'm eating well, Sister Lu, don't be nervous.

Han's mother: If there's a problem, you can't hide it from your mother; you have to call her immediately.

Han Guoguo agreed: Okay, I guarantee the notification will be delivered.

Su's mother came out of the living room, preparing to take her little grandson to bed. "Guoguo, you should also go and take a nap. Sitting is tiring. I've washed all the clothes Xiaoxue bought for you last night. I'll have Xiaoyu pack them all in."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Life was very pleasant, and when the due date arrived, Han Guoguo's belly still hadn't started labor. She was completely calm and showed no signs of labor at all.

Han Guoguo even suspected that this composure could be inherited, so why didn't it manifest?

In the group chat, Lan Yunxi sent a message: Guoguo, are there any signs of labor today?

Han Guoguo was also helpless, so she posted a shrug emoji with the caption: Maybe, perhaps I'm pregnant with Nezha.

Su Xue: At most a week. If they don't come out by then, I, as their aunt, will have to drag them out.

Tang Junyao sent a smiling emoji: probably quite calm.

Han Guoguo posted a dynamic handshake emoji, indicating that she and Tang Junyao had the same idea.

Yan Na is doing well. She goes to get off work and comes home without any problems. She hasn't vomited or anything like that, which has put the Lan family at ease.

Yan Na: I'll let you know in the group chat when I give birth.

Han Guoguo: Okay, sister-in-law.

Yan Na replied with a smiley face.

Perhaps because she heard Su Xue say the word "arrogant," the little one in her belly started to get restless that night, with slight contractions at long intervals.

This startled Su Yu, who immediately went to knock on Su Xue's door. Su Xue was fast asleep and didn't respond after knocking for a long time.

The people inside the room were not awake, but Su's mother and father both came out of the room. Since the due date had passed and labor had not started, the whole family was on edge, fearing that something unexpected might happen. At night, Su's mother did not dare to sleep too soundly.

I didn't go to bed until 11:30 tonight. When I heard my son knocking on the door, I got out of bed without saying a word. "Is Guoguo in labor?"

Su Yu wasn't sure either, but Guo Guo said it probably was, "It probably is, Guo Guo has a bit of a stomachache."

Upon hearing this, Su's mother opened the door and went in, but she knew her place and didn't go straight in. Instead, she took a few steps back and let her son go in to call her.

Su Yu walked straight to the bedside without calling Su Xue, and instead patted Lu Jinnan's cheek.

Lu Jinnan, who was fast asleep, was half-asleep and thought he was dreaming. He slapped Su Yu's hand away and said, "I'm sleeping, don't bother me, it's so annoying."

Su Yu didn't give Lu Jinnan a chance to continue sleeping. He pulled him up abruptly, waking Su Xue who was beside him. She didn't open her eyes. "Xiao Nan, what are you doing? Stop messing around. Let's make it up tomorrow. I'm not interested right now."

The Su couple outside the door: "................"

Su Yu's forehead throbbed, and he suddenly realized that his mother's idea was very wise. If the two of them were at the Lu family's house right now, he probably couldn't count on them, not even if they were sleeping next door.

With his nephew and niece sleeping in the room, Su Yu really wanted to turn on the light and pull them out of bed. He sighed, suppressing his anxiety, and said, "Su Xiaoxue, I'll give you one minute. Hurry up and go check on your sister-in-law."

sister in law?

Suddenly, Su Xue sat up abruptly and jumped out of bed. Before she was even fully awake, she was already outside the door. Her mother, fearing that her daughter was not fully awake, pinched her neck hard, which instantly sobered Su Xue up, much faster than the effects of coffee.

He hissed in pain, "Mom, what are you doing?" Was this a murder in the middle of the night?

Su's mother spoke with self-righteousness, feeling that her behavior was particularly appropriate, "I was afraid that you were not thinking clearly and that you would be misdiagnosed."

Su Xue: "............" That makes a lot of sense, and I can't refute it.

Entering the room, Han Guoguo seemed to be in good condition. Su Xue inquired about her situation, "How often are you having sex? Is the pain severe? Lie down and let me feel your belly. Your cervix is ​​definitely not dilated yet, so don't be nervous."

Han Guoguo shook her head. There really wasn't a timer. "I forgot to record the time."

Su Xue was very serious at this moment, without joking at all. She helped Han Guoguo lie down on the bed and carefully touched her stomach.

Su's father and Lu Jinnan did not enter Su Yu's room; the family waited for Su Xue's diagnosis.

A few minutes later, Su Xue roughly concluded, "She should be able to give birth tomorrow. The cervix dilates more slowly for the first pregnancy, but it depends on the situation and varies from person to person. My brother is quite anxious, so let's go straight to the hospital. My mother's worries will be relieved in the hospital."

Han Guoguo nodded, agreeing that everyone was worried at home, so it was better to put the elderly person at the hospital so they could feel at ease.

"Okay, Su Yu, take your things and we'll stay at the hospital tonight."

At this moment, Lu Jinnan began to make arrangements, "Mom, you all go. I'll stay home and look after the child. Tomorrow, I'll have my parents come over and take the child to the Lu family. Guoguo's situation is more important."

Su's mother was very pleased. "Xiao Nan, thank you so much."

Su's mother and father were in one car, while Han Guoguo, Su Yu, and Su Xue were in another. The trunk contained a maternity bag. After everyone left, Lu Jinnan made a phone call to Han Yue.

The events of the evening were rather sudden, and Han Guoguo certainly didn't have time to inform Han Yue. The phone was answered for the first time ever, and the tone was unfriendly: "Speak."

Lu Jinnan wasn't joking. "Guoguo went to the hospital."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Han Yue said, "Thanks."

The call was disconnected in just a few seconds, by the Han family.

After hanging up the phone, Han Yue knocked on his parents' door. The door opened quickly, and it was clear that neither of them had slept soundly; they were all waiting and nervous. Before Han Yue could speak, his mother clenched her fists and held them at her sides, asking, "Is Guoguo about to give birth?"

Han Yue: Not yet, I've already gone to the hospital.

The voice just fell.

Without hesitation, Han's mother turned around and went back to her room to change her clothes. Han's father did the same, and Han Yue also went back to his room, grabbing a set of clothes to wear at random.

It was still dark in the early morning, with a row of streetlights illuminating the way for night travelers. Only Han Yue's car was on the road, and he was driving much faster than usual.

In the car, Han Yue made a phone call to Ji Hancheng without saying a word of nonsense, "Have the Imperial Hospital arrange a VIP ward."

Ji Hancheng was clearly confused as well, his voice slightly hoarse, "It's all prepared, just go straight there." He then gave the floor and room number. Ji Hancheng had arranged the room a week ago, but he hadn't expected Guoguo to delay her delivery.

Han Yue said calmly, "Thanks."

Two groups of people, heading towards the same destination from different directions, were both filled with love. Even Han Yue, who was usually sharp-tongued, was silent at this moment. Perhaps there was an element of nervousness in it, as his palms were sweating as he gripped the steering wheel.

In the back seat, Han's mother held Han's father's hand tightly. Neither of them spoke, their feelings complicated.

As if by prior arrangement, the two cars arrived at the Imperial Capital Hospital at the same time and parked in the same parking space, which was actually two adjacent spaces.

The back seat doors opened at the same time, and Su Xue helped Guo Guo out of the car. Han's mother and father also opened the car doors and got out.

Separated by a car, the mother and daughter gazed at each other in mid-air. As they looked at each other, Han Guoguo was moved to tears, and tears also welled up in her mother's eyes. She went over to support her daughter, saying, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't hide it? Why did you break your promise?"

After saying that, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of Han Guoguo's eyes. Su Xue felt something was off about this scene, since her pregnancy and childbirth had been very easy.

Why did Guoguo and Aunt Han have different emotions in their eyes? Was she mistaken? Or was there something between Aunt Han and Guoguo?

Han Yue was the last to get off the bus. The visibility was poor at night, so Su's father drove a little slowly, but he still arrived on time, parked the car, and got off.

He put his arm around Han's father's shoulder and led him inside.

After getting off the bus, Han Yue strode into the hospital. After thinking for a moment, he stood at the entrance and waited for Su Yu. When Su Yu approached with his luggage, he told him the VIP room number that Ji Hancheng had booked.

With Ji Hancheng's prior arrangements, Han Guoguo went directly to the ward to lie down, while Su Yu went to complete the admission procedures, which still required all the necessary formalities.

Han Yue stood at the smoking area in the hallway, smoking continuously. After finishing a cigarette, he put a piece of chewing gum in his mouth.

The VIP ward was very large, just like the one Tang Junyao had stayed in before. It was a suite with everything she needed. Guoguo held onto Han's mother's hand tightly, saying, "Mom, it's okay. I only feel a little pain now. Don't be nervous."

Han's mother didn't speak, but simply smiled and nodded, tidying her daughter's hair at her collarbone.

Su's mother tidied up all the things she had brought, while Han's father and Su's father sat on the bench outside to wait, as they were afraid that too many people would make Guoguo uncomfortable.

Everyone stayed up with her, waiting for the arrival of the new life.

As dawn approached, Guoguo's contractions became more pronounced and frequent, and she also felt the urge to defecate.

Su Xue had originally planned for the next day, but Guoguo's cervix dilated much faster than she expected, thankfully they came to the hospital.

Han Yue requested an epidural before Guo Guo gave birth, but Guo Guo refused. She wanted to experience the pain her mother went through during childbirth. In her mother's generation, without the medical technology we have now, everyone went through that kind of pain to give birth to her and her brother.

This infuriated Han Yue, but he dared not retaliate.

Han's mother said that she could give birth without anesthesia, but there was one condition: she had to accompany her daughter inside. In the end, Han's mother accompanied her daughter inside for a natural birth.
