Moreover, her current appearance was also for him, so he had no right to find fault with her.
He had witnessed Wang Jinhe’s transformation. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have gained weight. She had also been sleeping poorly and feeling uncomfortable in the past few months. If he still found fault with her in this state, what kind of person would he be?
“Sometimes I even find fault with myself, feeling so ugly,” Wang Jinhe said, leaning on Su Yu’s shoulder with a furrowed brow.
“Who said you’re ugly? You’re the most beautiful pregnant woman,” Su Yu reassured her. Apart from her slightly larger belly, she hadn’t changed much and still looked as beautiful as before her pregnancy. Anyone who dared to call Jinhe ugly would be defying him.
Wang Jinhe’s low spirits were instantly lifted by Su Yu’s words. She knew she shouldn’t be feeling so down, but sometimes she couldn’t control herself. She had even lost her temper with Su Yu several times. Looking back, she realized she had been unreasonable. If it were someone else, they would have ignored her a long time ago. How could Su Yu tolerate her and not get angry no matter what?
“Darling, I’m sorry for losing my temper with you before.”
“Why are you apologizing? I know you were uncomfortable, that’s why you were upset. It’s okay,” Su Yu reassured her. It was good that she could express her feelings instead of keeping them to herself.
“You’re really sweet,” Wang Jinhe said, cuddling up to Su Yu’s shoulder affectionately, rubbing against him like a little cat.
Su Yu smiled as he touched Wang Jinhe’s hand. “If you know I’m good, then make sure to hold on to me and don’t let anyone take me away.”
“Of course, you’re mine,” Wang Jinhe said matter-of-factly, not seeing anything wrong with her statement.
Suppressing a smile, Su Yu nodded. “You’re right.”
In the past, Wang Jinhe’s emotions had always been restrained, and it was almost impossible for him to hear her say such things. He never expected that her pregnancy would fulfill his dream.
After that day, Wang Jinhe’s unstable emotions finally improved. However, one night, she was suddenly awakened by pain. The sensation of her belly dropping made her face turn pale. She reached out and grabbed Su Yu’s arm, but before she could say anything, he woke up.
“What’s wrong, Jinhe? Where does it hurt?” Su Yu asked.
“I… I think I’m going into labor.”
“I’ll go call the midwife and the female physician,” Su Yu hurriedly put on his clothes and went to fetch them.
The female physician instructed Su Yu to carry Wang Jinhe to the specially prepared room before conducting the examination, while the midwife remained outside, instructing the maids to prepare hot water and other necessities.
“Master, rest assured, Madam is in good health. Although she’s giving birth more than ten days early, the baby is also healthy. It will still take some time before the baby is born. Please have someone prepare some food for Madam. She needs to eat to regain her strength,” the female physician said.
Su Yu went out to instruct Qiu Yi to prepare some food. Qiu Yi quickly made a few red date and egg dishes and brought them in to feed Wang Jinhe.
Knowing that giving birth would take a long time, Wang Jinhe needed to conserve her strength. Despite the pain, she endured it and ate the eggs prepared by Qiu Yi.
The commotion in the house woke up the children. Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi came out in their pajamas, looking puzzled. “What’s happening, Daddy? It’s so noisy in the house.”
“Did we wake you up?”
“Yes”
“Your mother is giving birth,” Su Yu replied.
The children immediately became excited. “Daddy, is Mommy going to give us a little brother or sister?”
“Yes, she is. But you should go back to sleep for a little while longer,” Su Yu said.
Both Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi shook their heads. “We want to wait for Mommy.”
“Alright.”
The midwife and the female physician remained inside. After about an hour, the midwife’s voice was heard from the room.
“Madam, listen to me. Push harder.”
“Okay.”
Su Yu paced back and forth at the door, feeling extremely worried, glancing into the room from time to time. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard the midwife’s voice and the sound of a baby crying: “One is born, and there’s another one.”
Shortly after, Su Yu heard the cry of another child, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the spirit spring water prepared in advance by Wang Jinhe to the kitchen, poured it into the pot of chicken soup that was stewing, stirred it, and then went back.
As Qiu Yi came out carrying the babies, she said, “Master, the firstborn is a boy, and the second is a girl.”
Su Yu didn’t look at the babies but instead asked, “How is Jinhe doing?”
“Madam is fine and in good spirits. The female physician and the midwife are helping her with postpartum care. She’ll be able to return to her room in a little while,” Qiu Yi replied.
Relieved, Su Yu instructed Yuan Bao, who was standing nearby, “Yuan Bao, give each person in the household 500 wen as a red packet, including all the workers.”
“Understood.”
Yuan Bao then went outside and set off two strings of firecrackers.
Upon hearing the firecrackers, Yu Qingfeng suddenly woke up, and Gu Jiuning looked at him, puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“Jinhe may have given birth.”
“What?” Gu Jiuning exclaimed.
“I heard the firecrackers just now.”
“Then let’s hurry and go see.” The couple quickly put on their clothes and went outside, where they saw Yu Bailin and his wife, as well as Su Xi.
The family quickly made their way to the next room. When Yuan Bao saw them coming, he discreetly cleared his throat, realizing that he had probably woken everyone up.
“Yuan Bao, has Jinhe given birth?” Su Xi asked eagerly.
Since coming over, he had been staying at the Yu family’s residence, mainly enjoying conversations with Yu Bailin. He preferred not to join in the excitement at Su Yu’s place, where most of the residents were young people.
“She has given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl,” Yuan Bao replied.
“Great, let’s go and see.”
As they approached, they found Nan Qiao and the others gathered around Su Yu, looking at the two babies.
“Brother Yu, these two babies are so adorable, aren’t they?”
“They are really adorable. I love them so much,” Su Yu said.
“Let’s take them to the small bed in our room for some rest,” Su Yu handed the two babies to Qiu Yi and her sister.
“Go to sleep. You can see the babies in the morning,” Su Yu instructed.
Nan Qiao really wanted to say that he could stay up all night to watch the babies, but he didn’t dare to speak up. He obediently went to bed.
Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi were also sent off to sleep. Xiao Bao whispered, “Big brother, the little brother and sister are so cute.”
“Especially cute,” Xiao Zhi agreed, especially noting how beautiful their little sister was.
“Grandpa, you’re here,” Su Yu greeted Yu Qingfeng and the others without any surprise.
“How is Jinhe? Is she okay?” Gu Jiuning asked Su Yu.
“She’s fine.”
“That’s good. Where are the children? We’d like to see them.” Now that he knew his daughter was fine, Gu Jiuning felt relieved and wanted to see his grandchildren.
“They’re in our room. I’ll bring Jinhe back later.”
“Then let’s go and see.” Since Jinhe wasn’t in the room, Su Xi and the others could go and see the children.
They went to the room and looked at the two sleeping babies in the small bed, their hearts melting.
“The girl looks like Jinhe,” Yu Qingfeng remarked as he looked at his granddaughter.
“The boy looks like Xiao Yu,” Su Xi said.
