Chapter 1074: Safe Delivery for Mother and Child

When He Jinxuan rushed over, Gu Wanqing was just about to enter the delivery room.

After all the fuss, she indeed felt hungry, and He Jinxuan arrived at the right time.

Gu Wanqing, to have enough strength for a natural delivery, forced herself to eat three poached eggs despite the pain, drank some soup, and only then did Han Jingchen carry her into the delivery room.

Originally, Xinyan wanted to accompany her inside, but Gu Wanqing insisted she leave, worried that her appearance might scare the young lady, causing her to have a psychological shadow about childbirth in the future.

In fact, Gu Wanqing did not know that Xinyan had already been in the delivery room earlier with Shen Guqing.

He Jinxuan, worried Xinyan might be cold, had specially brought her an extra piece of clothing: "Yanyan, there’s no heating in this corridor. Put this on."

Lately, all the water at home had been Space Stream Water; just now the baby was checked and everything was fine, just a little big, which might mean more difficulty during delivery.

Xinyan did not oppose, cooperatively putting on the clothes He Jinxuan offered, her eyes never leaving the delivery room.

Han Jingchen paced back and forth at the delivery room door, cold as it was, his forehead was sweating from tension.

Xinyan felt a bit distressed: "Dad, have a seat. It won’t be that soon. With my senior sister inside, you can rest assured."

As everyone anxiously waited at the delivery room door, Han Chunxue and Sun Baowei arrived in a hurry: "Second Brother, how is Second Sister-in-law?"

Han Jingchen pointed at the delivery room: "Still inside?"

Han Chunxue peeked through a crack in the door for a moment: "How long has she been in there? Why don’t we hear anything?"

Xinyan quickly pulled Han Chunxue over: "She’s definitely conserving her strength, Auntie, have a seat first."

She directly placed her in the opposite chair: "Auntie, my dad is already worried enough, don’t scare him more."

Han Chunxue slapped her forehead: "Look at me, I was so excited I forgot."

She naturally knew what Second Brother was worried about, but being anxious, comfort was not her forte, so she said directly: "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law has given birth once, it should be quick, don’t worry too much."

The words had the opposite effect; Han Jingchen felt even more irritated: though his wife had given birth before, it had been many years, and her age was a factor too, so how could he not worry?

Two hours passed; every once in a while, one or two painful cries came from inside, Han Jingchen had his fists clenched, no longer pacing, standing like a wooden stake, staring at the delivery room door as if willing a hole to appear.

Finally, a loud and clear cry came from the delivery room.

Han Jingchen excitedly placed his hand on the delivery room door, murmuring, "It’s born, it’s born."

Everyone stood up, gathering at the delivery room door.

After a while, a nurse carrying a baby came out: "Family of Gu Wanqing, mother and child are safe, the baby weighs six pounds eight ounces."

Han Jingchen didn’t look at the child, hurriedly asking, "Nurse, how is my wife?"

The nurse hadn’t expected the man to ask about his wife first, smiling as she replied: "The mother is fine, just a bit exhausted. Doctor Shen is attending to her, and she’ll be out after being observed for any issues."

The nurse handed the baby to Han Jingchen, but he hesitated to reach out.

Only to hear him nervously say, "Chunxue, you hold him."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hold the baby, but he had never held such a small child before, fearing he might not hold properly and drop the baby.

Han Chunxue, wanting to hold the baby, approached with a smile: "Come to Auntie’s arms quickly."

Gently receiving the baby from the nurse: "Second Brother, this child is really beautiful, look at that hair, so thick and black, clearly well nurtured in Second Sister-in-law’s belly."

Xinyan also leaned over: "Little one, I’m your sister, your real sister."

Hearing Xinyan’s words, Han Chunxue commented: "No one said you aren’t the real sister, no need to emphasize."

Xinyan giggled: "I was just worried he’d see me as an aunt."

Han Jingchen looked at his two children, eyes full of affection. Now, he could finally say he had both a son and a daughter. Though the two kids had a considerable age gap, he believed that their sibling bond would surely be strong.

With this little one, he wouldn’t fear there being no one to take care of the young lady in the future.

Thinking of this, he glanced at He Jin, who was watching the little one, a look on his face that was full of depth.

He Jinxuan might have sensed his father-in-law’s gaze earlier and looked up, only to find the older man had already shifted his gaze back, smiling at his son.

Han Jingchen then spoke: "Chunxue, take the child back to the ward. I’ll wait here for your Second Sister-in-law."

Han Chunxue agreed with a smile: "Alright, it’s too cold in this corridor, let’s not let the little treasure freeze."

Han Jingchen looked at Xinyan: "You go with your aunt, I’ll wait here."

Xinyan refused: "I’ll wait with you."
