Chapter 999: Chapter 1003
Tan Zhenghong immediately shook his head, "I can’t be at ease if I can’t see."
As for good fortune, he still believed in the saying "heaven rewards the diligent," and he was certainly not a lazy man, he was sure to provide Qiao Duo’er and the child with a good life.
Granny Su could only obediently shut her mouth and continued to tend to Duo’er.
After an indeterminable amount of time, Qiao Duo’er suddenly heard a cry, and in that instant, she revealed a faint smile.
Just as Old Lady Bai had said, hearing that cry made her feel all the suffering was worthwhile.
"Congratulations to the Fourth Master, congratulations to Madam, the first one is a young master!"
After saying this, Granny Su carefully took the baby to clean him while the others continued to surround Duo’er.
"Madam, push again!"
"Isn’t it over?" Tan Zhenghong naively asked.
Duo’er just gave birth to a son for her first child, why did she need to keep pushing?
Qing Xin blinked, "Madam is carrying twins, the young master specifically instructed that Madam, being frail, must absolutely not speak of it during the pregnancy, lest it startles the fetal spirit."
So, she had always claimed it was just the young master being expected because she assumed there would be at least one among the two.
Tan Zhenghong was dumbfounded, could it be that even knowing as a father would disturb the fetal spirit?
"Don’t you know? That shouldn’t be the case, our young master told us..."
Qing Xin’s voice abruptly stopped halfway.
Nine times out of ten, this must have been deliberate by their young master.
His objective was to have the Fourth Master in over his head, so he could then appear as if descending from the heavens, rescuing Madam and the baby from dire straits.
Perhaps Madam would then ditch the Fourth Master for him, considering women can be emotionally unstable and prone to impulsive actions right after giving birth, and incidentally their madam was also someone who disliked admitting defeat.
Needless to say, Young Master Bai’s move was ruthless!
"Bai Yifan, I really want to tear you to pieces!" Qiao Duo’er uttered each word deliberately.
She thought she was finally relieved, only to find out another ordeal awaited her.
Qing Yue advised, "Madam, don’t be distracted at this moment. Give another push, and maybe you’ll have a daughter. Wouldn’t that make a ’good’ character?"
"At this point, can I say I don’t want to give birth?"
Qiao Duo’er grimaced in pain once again, the lack of mental preparation making her involuntarily groan.
With a darkened face, Tan Zhenghong said, "Wife, rest assured, when that bastard Bai Yifan comes, I’ll teach him a lesson!"
Was it not clear that this was intentional mischief?
Fortunately, everything was well prepared, and there should be enough left for another one.
Qiao Duo’er had no energy to speak with Tan Zhenghong but kept pushing just as she had been.
Consider it a surprise gift from the heavens.
She had to give birth quickly; otherwise, delaying might harm the child.
This time, it was fast. After the duration of two incense sticks, another delicate cry echoed from the delivery room.
Though Duo’er had done her best, the baby’s cry still seemed lacking.
Having given birth, all Qiao Duo’er wanted to do was sleep, but concerned for her children, she insisted, "Bring the babies to me for a look."
Without seeing the children were well, she couldn’t fall asleep.
"The two little things are fine, each has everything they should have and nothing they shouldn’t. Go ahead and sleep for a while, don’t talk." Tan Zhenghong said authoritatively.
After childbirth, the body is weak; worrying too much can lead to severe blood loss, so he wished he could block Duo’er’s mouth himself.
Hearing Ah Hong’s words, Duo’er’s head tilted and she promptly fell into a deep sleep. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
After giving birth to two little things, she was nearly exhausted and indeed needed a good sleep. This way, she could have the strength to nurse them.
