In the early stages of Jiang Ruoli's pregnancy, Pei Zigui had already arranged for the best medical team to be on call at all times, including an independent delivery room, a delivery room, and a confinement center for postpartum care.

Everything is ready, just waiting to move in when the due date comes.

But no matter how much I planned, I didn't expect the baby to be born half a month earlier than the expected date.

At that time, Jiang Ruoli's belly was already very big. She would stay at home every day, painting or staying in the greenhouse.

Since he became pregnant, Pei Zigui has been working from home unless necessary, especially as the due date is approaching, he doesn't want to make any mistakes.

On that day, the partner from Russia happened to fly to Jiangcheng specially and showed full sincerity for this cooperation.

When Assistant Mott was reporting on this work, Pei Zigui was accompanying his wife in the greenhouse painting.

"Boss Pei, if you don't go, I'm afraid..."

Pei Zigui frowned like a snowy mountain, "This matter..."

A pair of small hands held me.

"Oh, they flew all the way here from Russia, and you sent your vice president to attend the meeting. That's unacceptable."

"It's just a meeting. It will take at most an afternoon. Just come back with me for dinner. There's a doctor in the room. Don't worry about it."

Indeed, in order to prevent various possible unexpected situations, the family doctor was invited to Lantingyuan early on.

Pei Zigui wanted to say something, but his wife pushed him a few steps. He protected Jiang Ruoli's body and retreated under her force.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and come back as soon as possible."

The next day, Pei Zigui appeared in the conference room in a neatly dressed suit.

Jiang Ruoli finally had the chance to eat various nutritious meals without being supervised, so he let himself go and asked Aunt Lan to prepare a table of spicy hot pot.

Miraculously, after she became pregnant, she could actually eat some spicy food, as long as it was not too spicy and she did not eat too much, and the symptoms of pepper allergy she had before were almost gone. In this regard, the doctor said that indeed many people would experience this situation after pregnancy, and some pregnant mothers miraculously cured allergic rhinitis.

Aunt Lan was hesitant at first. After all, it was the late stage of pregnancy, and everyone in the family was worried and in a state of preparation.

When he called Pei Zigui, he was not surprised, as if he had guessed that Jiang Ruoli was dishonest. Sighing, he indulged, "Forget it, as long as she is happy. Ask the doctor, if it is okay, give it to her. But don't feed her too much, she is advanced in pregnancy and it is easy to hit her stomach."

When Jiang Ruoli saw the spicy hot pot, his smile almost jumped out of his eyes.

She enjoyed her meal, and Aunt Lan was also happy watching her.

"Auntie Lan, can you pour me a glass of orange juice? It's a little spicy."

Jiang Ruoli pointed to the empty cup and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.

Her sugar intake is strictly controlled by a nutritionist every day. Aunt Lan recalled her breakfast and thought of Pei Zigui's words "just be happy". She turned and went into the kitchen to squeeze another glass of fresh orange juice for the little girl.

That’s when the accident happened.

When I heard the shouting, Aunt Lan was walking out with orange juice.

Bang! The glass fell to the ground in panic, spilling juice all over the floor.

Aunt Lan ran out in a hurry and saw the maid supporting Jiang Ruoli lying on the ground, at a loss as to what to do.

"Auntie Lan, what should I do?"

Jiang Ruoli gritted his teeth, felt the warmth in his lower body, and said with his remaining rationality: "The amniotic fluid broke, and the baby may be born early."

After all, Aunt Lan was an experienced person, so she quickly called a doctor over, and several people sent Jiang Ruoli to the hospital together.

Along the way, the doctor used his professional knowledge to relax Jiang Ruoli's tense emotions and relieve her anxiety and pain.

Cars were speeding along the road.

Meanwhile, the meeting was proceeding in an orderly manner. But Pei Zigui's eyelids were twitching unconsciously, and his chest was restless for no reason, as if he was sensing something in the dark.

The meeting was interrupted by hurried footsteps.

It was Assistant Mott who looked anxious.

"Mr. Pei!"

*

When he arrived at the hospital, Jiang Ruoli was sweating profusely in the delivery room. Doctors, nurses, midwives, Aunt Lan and others surrounded the bed.

Pei Zigui pushed through the crowd and held Jiang Ruoli's hand, "Don't be afraid, baby, I'm here, don't be afraid."

But the person who was trembling was clearly him.

"What's going on now? Isn't my wife's due date yet?"

"There are many reasons for premature birth. Don't worry, Mr. Pei. Half a month early is still within the controllable range. Mrs. Pei is only a little over one finger dilated at the moment. All we have to do is calm her down and wait for the full dilation."

Jiang Ruoli was almost fainted from the pain after only opening one finger. She had never suffered such pain before. The worst injury she had ever suffered in her life was just six stitches after anesthesia.

Seeing his wife's forehead soaked with sweat from pain, even her hair was wet, Pei Zigui's eyes were filled with innumerable heartaches.

He would rather suffer this for her.

"What about pain relief? Didn't we contact the anesthesiologist to be on standby in advance?"

The anesthesiologist was also nearby and responded immediately, "Generally, epidurals are not recommended before the baby is fully grown. After careful discussion by our medical team, we plan to observe for a period of time before deciding whether to give Mrs. Pei an epidural. Besides, she is still one and a half fingers dilated. Based on Mrs. Pei's condition, we recommend giving her the injection after she is three fingers dilated."

Pei Zigui clenched his back teeth, his face as cold as if he had just been pulled out of an ice cellar.

"I'm giving you some advice. Did I spend so much money to invite you here just to talk? Can't you see that my wife is in a lot of pain right now?"

Realizing that he was overly emotional, the man calmed himself down and said, "Sorry."

The doctor has seen many emotional family members. In comparison, Pei Zigui is considered calm.

"husband……"

Hearing the weak cry, Pei Zigui seemed to have regained his senses. He bent down and kissed Jiang Ruoli on the cheek, trying to calm his tone.

"What's wrong, baby? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The fingers were gently hooked.

"You're too fierce."

"sorry, I……"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not scared."

The woman forced a smile on her weak face.

How could she be so nice? She was obviously in so much pain, yet she still turned around and comforted him.

Pei Zigui took Jiang Ruoli's hand and sat down, wiping the sweat off her face with a warm towel.

"I'm staying here with you. I'm not going anywhere."

Pei Zigui drove all irrelevant people out of the delivery room, leaving only necessary medical staff.

As time passed, Jiang Ruoli could clearly feel the pain becoming more intense.

"No, I don't want to give birth. It hurts too much."

"It hurts so much, why does it hurt so much? I feel like my whole uterus is falling down, and my internal organs are being pinched."

Pei Zigui has lived for so many years, but there has never been a moment like now that made him realize his own incompetence.

Apart from comfort and those words "Don't be afraid", he seemed to have nothing to give to his beloved woman.

"Okay, we won't have any more children."

"Baby, don't bite yourself, bite me."

He pushed open Jiang Ruoli's lips and pinched those bloodless lips with heartache.

"You can have an epidural now."

The doctor's words were like a life-saving straw, saving Jiang Ruoli from the sea of ​​suffering.

The anesthesiologist quickly pushed the prepared items in, and when Jiang Ruoli saw the needle, he almost fainted.

Such a long needle has to penetrate her body.

The little girl had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but began to tremble.

Pei Zigui immediately pulled the person into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A long needle passes through the lumbar spine and the medicine is slowly injected through a flexible tube. The whole process is frightening just to watch.

Not to mention Pei Zigui, whose heart felt like it was being squeezed, and it hurt so much. The naturally lively little fox was like a wounded cub, limply hiding in his arms and whimpering.

After giving birth to this child, he would never let Jiang Ruoli suffer this kind of pain again.

About ten minutes later, the painkiller started to take effect, and the contractions didn't become so unbearable. Looking at the girl's gradually relaxed face, the wrinkles between the man's brows calmed down a little.

The later stages went smoothly because it was an integrated delivery room and Jiang Ruoli went straight onto the delivery bed.

But at this time, Pei Zigui, who wanted to accompany his wife during childbirth, was driven out.

"Don't look at it, giving birth is ugly."

"Not ugly at all, Lili, can I accompany you?"

"No, get out!"

In order not to irritate Jiang Ruoli, Pei Zigui had to sit on the sofa in the corner of the delivery room behind the curtain.

Jiang's father and mother had also arrived, along with the two old men. Jiang's mother went in to accompany her precious daughter, while Jiang's father stood by to comfort his son-in-law.

"Giving birth is a disaster for women. It was the same for her mother. Don't be nervous. My Lili will be safe."

Pei Zigui felt uneasy and stood up from the sofa.

This man, who had always been noble and aloof, was now leaning against the wall, at a loss. If you looked closely, you could see his trembling hands and bloodshot eyes.

Behind a curtain, his wife was going through a major turning point in her life.

"Relax and breathe in rhythm with me."

“You’re doing great, keep it up!”

Jiang Ruoli followed the doctor's instructions obediently, enduring the pain in his body and the fear in his heart.

Perhaps God heard the man's prayer, or perhaps Pei Zigui's sincere monthly prayers were answered.

The baby's cry echoed throughout the room, magically calming the panicked heartbeats of everyone present.
