Chapter 809: 795, Pay attention to the image too (2) Chapter 809: 795, Pay attention to the image too (2) âIsnât that a stupid question? Where else would we be but at the hospital?â Jian Luo retorted.
Bai Jue, âIâll rush back as soon as I can, hanging up now.â
Those two treasures really knew how to pick their moment. He had hardly been back in M Country for two days when they started getting impatient to come out.
On the other side
Quan Hao and Rhee were just about to return to their room to rest when they received Old Master Jianâs call. The news that Jian Qing was about to give birth instantly chased away any sleepiness, and they scrambled to notify everyone at home.
If anyone was the most excited, it had to be Old Master Quan, who, dressed in his pajamas, rushed downstairs in a flurry. If Quan Mingxuan hadnât reacted quickly to stop him, he might have headed straight to the hospital in his pajamas.
âYou rascal, why the hell are you stopping me?â Old Master Quanâs eyes shone with excitement. He was in a hurry to see his great-grandson; no one should get in his way.
Quan Mingxuan helplessly held his forehead, âGrandpa, dressed in these pajamas, and wearing Grandmaâs slippers, do you plan on making tomorrowâs front page news in Beijing?â
After all, as a public figure, one should still care a little about their image.
âWhat about your Grandmaâs slippers?â Old Master Quan muttered, glancing down at his slippers, one of which was a particularly eye-catching light orange.
Indeed, they were his wifeâs slippers.
He caught the teasing smiles on the faces of his family members out of the corner of his eye, feeling a bit embarrassed, âWell, that was a pure mistake, I ran down too hastily.â
After saying that, he hurriedly turned and ran back upstairs with the speed of the wind, completely unlike a man in his seventies.
âEverything is packed, Mom, weâll head over first, and you and Dad can follow in Axuanâs car later,â Rhee said, carrying bags and packages, which Quan Hao quickly helped to hold.
âNo need for that, just let your Dad take Axuanâs car later, Iâll go with you now,â Quan Yifei directly âabandonedâ Old Master Quan in favor of their soon-to-be-born great-grandchild.
Rhee nodded, and the group hurriedly made their way out.
In an instant, the mansion was ablaze with lights, and several luxury cars successively left the mansion.
When Old Master Quan managed to change clothes and come down at top speed, everyone but Quan Mingxuan had already vanished from the living room.
âWhereâs your Grandma?â
âShe left.â Quan Mingxuan, fiddling with the car keys, replied.
âThat wretched woman couldnât even wait for me,â Old Master Quan complained as he dragged Quan Mingxuan out of the house.
âHurry up, my great-grandson will be coming out soon.â
Quan Mingxuan stayed silent. ââŠâ
Having a baby isnât that quick, is it?
Now with a great-grandson on the way, all of us grandsons have been relegated to chopped liver.
Back to the hospital sceneâŠ
After completing the checkup, Jian Qing was taken into the VIP ward, where Quan Jingwu stood guard by her bed without moving an inch, and Jian Luo and the others kept her company.
âAll of Mrs. Quanâs health indicators are perfectly normal, and the baby is in the correct position, but we will have to wait a little longer for labor,â Director Wan said.
Since Jian Qing had already opted for a natural birth, there was no need for any debate now over whether to have a cesarean or vaginal delivery.
Hearing they still had to wait, Quan Jingwuâs presence turned cold in an instant, scaring Director Wan and the other doctors into silence.
âHow much longer do we have to wait?â
Director Wan and the others took a step back in unison, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
âXiaojing, donât scare the doctors,â Jian Qing said between waves of intense pain. It took considerable effort for her to speak.
Quan Jingwu looked down at her and took a tissue to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, whispering, âMy treasure, letâs not go through a natural birth, okay? Letâs have a cesarean section, hmm?â
âNo, we agreed. You cannot go back on your word.â Jian Qing knew he was heartbroken for her, could not bear to see her in so much pain, but for the sake of the baby, she was willing to endure any amount of pain.
Quan Jingwu looked into the determination in her eyes and tightened his hold on her hand.
âLittle Qingqing!â
Rhee and others hurried in, and Director Wan and a few others stepped aside, astonished at the entourage that had come for this birthing.
The doctors, who rarely saw such important figures, were witnessing for the first time the grand show of support for a pregnant woman during childbirth.
âLittle Qingqing, how are you feeling?â Rhee dropped his bags and quickly strode to the bedside, looking at Jian Qingâs pale face with concern.
âIâm fine.â Jian Qing lifted her gaze to see that almost all the members of the Quan Family had arrived, and managed to smile, âItâs so late, grandmother, why have you all come?â
The elderly Mrs. Quan touched her head and said with a kind smile, âHow could we sleep peacefully knowing you are here giving birth?â
âThird sister-in-law, come on, you can do it.â Quan Yifei clenched her fists and waved them in encouragement.
Jian Qing gave a faint smile.
âAlright, letâs all go out and let Jingwu stay here with Jian Qing. Weâll wait in the outside living room,â Quan Mingxuan said, intuitively reading the tense expression on Quan Jingwuâs face.
Hearing this, everyone glanced at Jian Qingâs pallid complexion, and considering the energy she would need for the upcoming childbirth, the group moved to the living room outside.
Before leaving, Rhee said softly, âLittle Qingqing, donât be afraid, weâre all here for you.â
Jian Qing hummed in response and turned to look at the person beside her, the corners of her mouth curving slightly.
âJing the Tyrant, looking so stern will scare your son. Give us a smile.â
Quan Jingwu held her hand to his lips and gave it a light peck, âDoes it hurt a lot?â
Jian Qing shook her head and changed the subject, âXiaojing, when Iâm giving birth later, can you wait for me outside?â
She somewhat understood from her mother-in-law and others just how painful childbirth could be. If the labor pains were already this agonizing, she didnât want to think about the actual birth. She didnât want him to watch in distress by her side.
Her suggestion was immediately rejected by Quan Jingwu.
âNo, thatâs not okay. You promised to let me be with you,â he insisted.
âBut,â Jian Qing tried to persuade him further, but was promptly interrupted.
âThere are no âbutsâ. I must be with you. Youâve said it yourself before, we are to welcome the birth of our baby together,â he countered with her own words, leaving Jian Qing feeling a tinge of regret.
How could she have known that the contractions would be this painful, and he was already this nervous? What if he fainted during the birth?
âAlright, thereâs no room for discussion on this matter. Let me accompany you, okay?â Quan Jingwu said as he bowed his head, his forehead against hers.
Jian Qing hummed helplessly in agreement.
She was truly defeated by him.
Finally, Jian Qing was taken into the operating room, and Quan Jingwu followed her in. Jian Luo and a group of people were all waiting in the corridor outside the operating room.
Childbirth stretched on interminably, gut-wrenching, with every second ticking by. It had been over two hours since Jian Qing had gone into the operating room, and there was not a single sound of pain coming from inside, which made everyone even more worried.
Beyond the two doors of the operating room, Quan Jingwu sat beside Jian Qing, holding her hand. His bewitching purple eyes reflected her sweat-drenched face.
âMrs. Quan, take a deep breath, and push harder,â directed Director Wan, the chief surgeon, with her gentle voice steadily guiding Jian Qing.
