Chapter 38
Darling
The days were as plain as flowing water, passing by quickly.
One day, Sister Song saw water stains on the sofa where Qu Zhi was sitting. She instantly realized that Qu Zhi’s water had broken.
Sister Song, who had always been calm and steady, suddenly panicked. She didn’t know where to start.
It had been ten years since she gave birth to Song Mei. The nanny had helped her at that time, but she couldn’t remember it very clearly.
“You, don’t move!” She pointed at Qu Zhi and shouted, hurriedly bringing over a small mattress to cover her.
Then, he rushed downstairs to call a taxi. He helped Qu Zhi put on a thick coat and hurriedly sent her to the hospital.
Qu Zhi counted that Sisi’s birthday was tomorrow. She remembered that her water broke at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so early this time. She didn’t even realize it herself.
After arriving at the hospital and helping Qu Zhi settle down, Sister Song called Liang Wen.
“Your Mrs. Liang had the water broke. She’s in the hospital, in the single room at the end of the corridor.”
Qu Zhi’s bed was against the door, and she could hear Liang Wen’s loud voice on the other end of the phone. “What? She’s giving birth?”
His assistant, Xiao Gu, also chimed in, “What? The lady boss was about to give birth? Congratulations!”
Qu Zhi found it funny and shouted into the phone, “The nurse said it’s still early. Don’t worry!”
However, how could Liang Wen not be anxious? almost as soon as he hung up the phone, he drove to the hospital.
Seeing that Qu Zhi was in good spirits, Sister Song quickly went back to get the delivery bag.
Half a month ago, Qu Zhi had started to prepare this delivery bag with her. It was fully equipped with small blankets, blankets, and milk bottles.
She didn’t expect that she would forget about it in hurry today.
Qu Zhi would definitely be hospitalized today, but she was worried about Liang Wen taking care of the child.
However, the next day was a Saturday. If Chuchu and Song Mei didn’t go to school, no one would take care of them. She couldn’t bear to let Sister Song run around during this time, so she could only leave the children with Liang Wen.
Although Chuchu and Song Mei was very obedient, if Liang Wen left them in the office or at home during work, no one would know if they bumped into each other.
Just as she was thinking about how to arrange for Liang Wen to take care of the child, Liang Wen rushed in from outside.
“How is it? does it hurt?” He didn’t even have time to wipe the sweat off his face, and the sweat had soaked the shirt inside his coat.
Qu Zhi shook her head.
She told him everything she had prepared. “You have to finish the noodles and rice in the refrigerator tonight. There are ingredients at home. Don’t always buy cooked vegetables from outside. It’s not healthy. Don’t let Chuchu eat too much of candied fruit, and don’t let them watch TV all the time. It’s good for them to read books too. Before going to bed at night, you have to brush their teeth and turn on the night light for them. Otherwise, they won’t dare to go to the toilet…”
Liang Wen listened attentively. He had a good memory and could remember everything. Qu Zhi could tell from his serious expression that he was listening attentively, and she gradually relaxed.
Liang Wen repeated everything to her after he was done explaining.
There was no problem.
The first night was very peaceful. In the middle of the night, Liang Wen secretly called to report that the two children had gone to bed at ten o’clock.
The next morning, Chuchu came to see her with a big bouquet of pink carnations in her arms.
The bouquet of flowers was very big and heavy, and there was even flower mud stuck at the bottom. However, Chuchu refused to let Liang Wen hold it, nor did she let Song Mei help her. She struggled until she placed the flowers firmly on Qu Zhi’s bed.
“Good luck, Mom. These flowers are a gift for you.” Chuchu revealed her canine teeth and smiled sweetly. “Little Sister, you can see beautiful flowers when you’re born. How nice would that be?”
In the afternoon, Liang Wen brought them out for lunch. When they returned, Qu Zhi had already been pushed into the delivery room.
Liang Wen started to clench his fists as he walked back and forth in front of the ward.
Chuchu was also very nervous. However, she felt a little sleepy after eating, so she sat on the small chair next to the bed and fell asleep.
At around 2 or 3 pm, Chuchu was woken up by the sound of a metal wheel.
Qu Zhi finished the surgery.
Before she could regain her senses, Song Mei had already pulled her into the cradle. “Look, this is your Sister!”
Chuchu rubbed her eyes and took a closer look, only to be shocked.
The baby in the cradle had red and wrinkly skin. She didn’t have much hair and didn’t look like the white and chubby baby in the newspapers at all.
She looked at the smiling Qu Zhi and pursed her lips. With much difficulty, she said, “My Sister … Doesn’t look too good.”
Liang Wen and Sister Song laughed out loud.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Qu Zhi explained to her that all newborn babies were like this. They would look good when they grew up.
She also turned to look at Sisi. Sisi was sleeping soundly. She was so soft and cute.
Qu Zhi silently made up her mind. This time, she would protect her no matter what!
