Chapter 1267: What Does This Have to Do with You?

Han Chunxue frowned at the pregnant woman: "Can’t keep your mouth shut again, can you."

The pregnant woman felt that being pregnant made her untouchable: "I didn’t say anything wrong."

Xinyan stood up: "What does this have to do with you?"

The pregnant woman, noticing Xinyan’s displeasure and recalling prior warnings, mumbled: "I was just talking, it’s no big deal, it’s not like you’re losing a piece of yourself."

If there weren’t a shortage of beds, Xinyan wouldn’t bother with her. Determined to ensure she wouldn’t challenge them again, Xinyan decided to make good on her promise.

With a cold expression, she walked towards her.

After just a few steps, she saw He Jinxuan who had brought up a lunch box early: "Yanyan, I’ve packed some food for you guys, hurry and eat."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Xinyan’s unease: "Yanyan, what’s wrong?"

Xinyan glanced at a bed between them and took the lunch box from him: "That guy can’t keep his wife in check. Have a good talk with him."

He Jinxuan understood immediately and turned coldly to the man: "Brother, let’s step outside for a smoke."

The woman was truly frightened now: "Don’t mess around."

He Jinxuan paid her no heed and focused on the man.

The man didn’t want to go out with He Jinxuan nor lose face in front of everyone: "Brother, this is just a spat between women, we men shouldn’t intervene, right?"

He Jinxuan didn’t need to ask to know she’d spoken out of turn: "And you’re just going to indulge her like that?"

The man looked at his pregnant wife on the bed: "She’s pregnant, how could I not spoil her?"

His words didn’t just surprise Xinyan and her friends, but also other patients in the room. It implied his wife couldn’t be upset because of her pregnancy.

He Jinxuan chuckled: "Of course, you’re right. One must dote on their own wife."

He put an arm around the man’s shoulder: "Let’s step outside for a chat, I need to learn from you."

Before the woman on the bed could protest, He Jinxuan was already escorting the man outside.

The man, either to reassure his wife or save face, said: "Honey, I’m just going out for a smoke with this brother, I’ll be right back, don’t worry."

Xinyan handed the lunch box to Han Chunxue: "Aunt, while cousin’s still okay, let’s quickly eat."

Yuan Yikai agreed: "Right, you guys eat first, who knows if Lingling’s belly might start hurting again soon."

Just as they were talking, Yuan Yikai’s aunt hurriedly arrived: "Ah, I finally made it."

Han Chunxue wanted to stand and greet her, but Wang Xiaodan stopped her when she saw the lunch boxes in their hands: "You’re family, no need to worry about me, eat first. Yikai, you eat too, I’ll take care of Lingling."

So everyone dug in without further politeness.

After completing the task entrusted by his wife, He Jinxuan even escorted the man back to the ward.

Though he tried not to show it, the man wished he could just die—it hurt like hell.

Xinyan saw He Jinxuan come in: "Hurry downstairs to eat."

He nodded at her: "Okay, leave the lunch box for now, I’ll come back up later to wash it."

Xinyan didn’t object: "Got it, go eat quickly."

Despite saying so, she hadn’t intended to leave the lunch box.

She had just finished eating when her cousin’s belly started to hurt again, so the lunch box was set aside.

Shen Guqing then walked into the ward: "Can you walk? If you can, take your time getting to the delivery room. If not, Yikai will carry you."

Seeing her daughter in such pain, Han Chunxue had lost her appetite and put the lunch box away, ready to accompany her to the delivery room.

But nobody expected Sun Zhenling to cry at the ward’s door: "Can’t hold it, I’m giving birth!"

Amidst a chaotic scene, people hurriedly rushed her into the delivery room.

Yuan Yikai heard Sun Zhenling’s cries, terrified, he peeked through the door crack, trying to see inside but saw nothing, sweating profusely.

Shen Guqing advised Sun Zhenling to try holding back her screams to conserve energy for labor.

Unable to hear his wife’s cries, Yuan Yikai anxiously turned to his mother-in-law: "Mom, why is there no sound inside?"
