Don't meet me in your next life.

When the media came to block them, Lu Sichen could only protect her and walk back. Yuan Chao called security and did his best to protect them and get them back to the hospital first.

Xiang Yi was heavily pregnant and had difficulty moving around. Security could only block some of the media reporters, while some reporters managed to get in front of them.

Then a crowd gathered at the hospital, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiang Yi broke out in a cold sweat and slipped, but fortunately Lu Sichen caught her.

However, due to Xiang Yi's excessive emotional state, she experienced some abdominal cramps, and by the time she realized it, fluid had already leaked from her lower body.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Doctor, come quick! The girl might be about to give birth!"

In an instant, chaos erupted at the scene. Lu Sichen immediately picked up Xiang Yi and rushed towards the hospital, shouting, "Make way, make way quickly!"

Seeing this, the onlookers spontaneously made way for them.

Xiang Yi was moved to the obstetrics department, and Lu Sichen was so anxious that he had no idea what to do.

"Family members, the patient's family members, come and sign here," the doctor called out. "A cesarean section may be necessary. Here is the consent form; please take a look."

“I am not her family member; she has no relatives left,” Lu Sichen said.

"Where is her husband?" the doctor asked. "In a situation like this, a family member needs to sign the consent form. Can you represent her? And if something goes wrong, should we save the mother or the child?"

"This..." Lu Sichen hesitated. He had never dealt with a life-or-death situation before, and the thought of saving both the mother and the child made his legs go weak.

"Also, the baby is about to be born. Have you prepared any baby and maternity supplies?" the doctor asked again.

Lu Sichen's mind went blank; he knew nothing about any of this.

"Quickly call a family member over and prepare the necessary supplies for the mother." The doctor saw that Lu Sichen looked completely bewildered and knew he knew nothing.

“Call her husband. If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll call him,” Yuan Chao said to Lu Sichen.

Although Xiang Yi said that Lu Sichen was her friend, it's no wonder that Yuan Chao overthinks things at a time like this.

"Husband?" Lu Sichen asked back.

“Xiang Yiyi told me yesterday that she got married, and her husband is a businessman.” Yuan Chao was even more puzzled by Lu Sichen’s reaction.

Lin Lubai? Yes, Lin Lubai. Thinking of this, Lu Sichen quickly took out his phone.

"Brother, hurry, hurry over here, Yi Yi is about to give birth." Lu Sichen was so nervous that he could barely speak.

"What? Explain yourself, where is it?" Lin Lubai, who was in a meeting, immediately stood up upon hearing the news.

"I'll send you my location; it's at the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. Come over quickly, and bring your hospital supplies," Lu Sichen said anxiously.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when I get there. I should be there in about ten minutes." After Lu Sichen finished speaking, Lin Lubai called Xiao Zhao and they immediately set off for the hospital.

Thinking of something, Lin Lubai dialed Xiao Qing's number: "Xiao Qing, does Yi Yi not have any maternity supplies?"

"Yes, it's at home," Xiao Qing replied. "What's wrong? Is Yi Yi about to give birth?"

"Okay, I'll go get my things now," Lin Lubai said.

"I'll go get it now and wait for you. How many minutes will it take you to get there?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Three to five minutes," Lin Lubai said.

"Okay, bye-bye." Xiao Qing hung up the phone, said goodbye, and headed straight for Yi's family.

When Lin Lubai arrived, Xiao Qing was panting as she carried things to the door.

As soon as the car stopped, the three of them quickly loaded their belongings into the car, and Lin Lubai drove at 140 km/h straight to the hospital.

Xiao Qing sat nervously in the car. To calm herself down, she took out her phone to read the news.

However, she wasn't so nervous before seeing the trending topics and the front page, but Xiao Qing was completely stunned.

"Why aren't you getting off the bus?" Xiao Qing only came to her senses when Xiao Zhao called her name.

There were still many reporters and media at the hospital entrance. Lin Lubai was stunned when he saw this, and suddenly remembered Lu Sichen, and roughly understood what it meant.

Xiao Qing saw the headline, but she didn't dare to say anything; such a thing would be unpleasant for anyone.

They arrived at the maternity ward, and before they could even speak, the doctor asked, "Who is Xiang Yiyi's family member?"

“I am her husband,” Lin Lubai said.

"Your wife needs a C-section now, come over and sign the papers," the doctor said directly to him.

Lin Lubai followed the doctor to sign the papers.

Seeing Lin Lubai and the others arrive, Lu Sichen felt a little more at ease. Just now, he didn't even know if he was still alive.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhao asked him.

"Yeah, how come you came to this hospital with Yi Yi? Don't tell me it's because Yi Yi is going to give birth here?" Xiang Yi Yi had mentioned to Xiao Qing that she was going to give birth at the Women and Children's Hospital, but she had never heard Xiang Yi Yi mention this remote place before.

"It was an accident. She brought people here for a medical checkup." Lu Sichen no longer concealed anything.

"Wait, you said she brought you here to see a doctor?" Xiao Qing's eyes widened.

“Yes, there’s a traditional Chinese medicine doctor here who is her classmate,” Lu Sichen said.

Before Xiao Qing could figure out what was going on, a familiar voice came from behind: "Xiao Qing?"

"You are, Yuan Chao?" Xiao Qing immediately recognized the doctor in the white coat beside her. "Xiang Yi came here to ask you to treat his illness?"

"To be precise, they were looking for my master, not me, but I didn't know this would happen," Yuan Chao explained.

"Well, it's going to be hard to clear their names now. The whole internet is buzzing about it, and the front page is full of them," Xiao Qing sighed.

Only then did these people belatedly turn on their phones.

"What's going on?" Yuan Chao asked. "You've only been here for less than two hours, and you're already trending on social media?"

"Someone is definitely behind this, probably targeting me or Yi Yi," Lu Sichen analyzed.

When Lin Lubai came out after signing the papers, his forehead was covered in sweat. He hoped that his Yi Yi and the baby would be born safely.

"Mr. Lin, look." Xiao Zhao handed the phone to Lin Lubai.

"Lu Sichen, come with me." Lin Lubai waited for Lu Sichen.

The two walked to a corner, and Lin Lubai asked him, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Yi brought me to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor today, saying that his master could cure my illness, so we came here. As for the details, I don't know yet," Lu Sichen said.

"You didn't arrange this?" Lin Lubai asked.

"What reason do you think I have for making this arrangement? From childhood to adulthood, you've been the only one who's ever had thoughts of revenge against the Lu family. I've never treated you as an outsider." Lu Sichen said, somewhat angrily.

“Then you knew perfectly well that she was your sister-in-law,” Lin Lubai said.

"Can't we even be friends? I've told you many times that there's nothing between me and her," Lu Sichen said.

"Then how do you explain this today?" Lin Lubai asked.

“I’ll go tell the media that we’re friends and that she brought me to see a doctor,” Lu Sichen growled.

"What I was asking was," Lin Lubai was about to ask why Lu Sichen was holding her hand so gently, but then she remembered that she was pregnant, so she didn't say anything more.

"I understand, I'll handle it." Lin Lubai walked back to the operating room door.
