Chapter 316 Your belly is so big, you must be having a hard time.
Su Yingxue smiled slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes: "When I was pregnant with septuplets, I was lying in the hospital every day. That was really tough. Now it's just two babies, so I can manage."
Looking at her stubborn expression, Tan Zhengchu felt a pang of heartache. He closed his laptop and gently pulled her into his arms: "Okay, as long as you can hold on, I'll stay with you."
Su Yingxue leaned against him and sighed softly, "I really hope the day of delivery comes soon. The stretch marks on my belly are getting more and more numerous, and my weight is increasing rapidly. I'm scared..."
Tan Zhengchu interrupted her, his tone gentle yet firm: "What are you afraid of? No matter what you become, I will love you."
Su Yingxue raised her head, a hint of unease in her eyes: "But I'm afraid you'll dislike my figure because it's out of shape, and then you won't be interested in me anymore."
Tan Zhengchu gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Silly girl, you are the woman I love most. Pregnancy is only temporary. After the baby is born, I will help you get back in shape, but in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."
He knew all too well the emotional fluctuations of pregnant women, especially as their due date approached, when they were prone to overthinking. He had to be considerate of her emotions to prevent her from developing postpartum depression.
Su Yingxue suddenly turned her head away, her tone somewhat defiant: "If you despise me, I'll leave you with the four babies!"
Tan Zhengchu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Alright, then I'll wait for you to come back and test me."
He gently held her hand, his eyes full of affection: "Don't worry, my love won't change because of your body shape. You will always be my Su Yingxue, and that will never change."
Su Yingxue finally felt a little tired and slowed down her pace: "I'd better lie down for a while."
Tan Zhengchu quickly helped her to the bedside and carefully helped her lie down. He looked at her prominently pregnant belly, his eyes full of tenderness: "Your belly is so big, you must be suffering."
He gently touched her stomach and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Su Yingxue shook her head. Although she had a good appetite during her pregnancy, she didn't want to add any more burden due to weight gain: "No need, I'm not hungry."
The room fell silent. Su Yingxue closed her eyes, her mind a jumble of thoughts. She knew that this pregnancy had made her a bit fussy, prone to tears and overthinking. She wasn't like this before, but now, facing the changes in her body and the impending arrival of a new life, her feelings were complex and conflicted.
She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Zhengchu, I will try my best to recover after the baby is born."
Tan Zhengchu sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will be with you and face everything together."
Su Yingxue leaned against his chest, her heart filled with warmth. She knew that no matter what the future held, as long as he was by her side, everything would be alright.
……
In the room, Tan Zhengchu sat on the edge of the bed, talking softly to Su Yingxue. His fingers gently caressed the back of her hand, his gaze tender and focused. Su Yingxue leaned against the headboard, smiling slightly, sharing her recent feelings with him.
Just then, the maid knocked gently on the door, her voice tinged with urgency: "Young Master, Young Madam, there's news from Madam."
Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue looked up at the same time, and Su Yingxue's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong with Mom?"
The maid hurried in, her voice tinged with anxiety: "Madam has been taken to the hospital. She's an older mother, and we have a doctor at home, so we rushed her there as soon as we noticed something was wrong."
Su Yingxue sat up, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "It's normal to be a few days early, isn't it? Mom's due date is still a few days away, isn't it?"
Tan Zhengchu also got up, walked to Su Yingxue's side, and gently put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't worry, with Dad and Xiaofan taking care of you at the hospital, everything will be fine."
Su Yingxue nodded and said softly, "I understand. You can send the servant away."
The maid hesitated for a moment, then added, "The old lady also said that the young master needs to stay awake at night, and if the young mistress has any problems, she must tell them immediately."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly, her tone somewhat helpless: "I thought my baby would be born before Mom's, but I didn't expect to be a step behind."
She gently stroked her belly, her voice tinged with regret: "I've been exercising every day lately, climbing stairs and taking walks, hoping to give birth soon, but there's still no sign of labor."
Tan Zhengchu gently held her hand and comforted her, "Your due date isn't here yet, don't worry. Every baby has their own pace."
He smiled, a hint of affection in his eyes: "I haven't experienced this either, so I don't have any thoughts. But you've worked hard."
Su Yingxue took Tan Zhengchu's hand and said softly, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Tan Zhengchu nodded, but still got up and walked to the desk, preparing to take the laptop to the outer room: "Computer radiation is bad for the baby, I'll take it out."
When he returned to the bedroom, Su Yingxue had already closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming steady. Lately, she had been feeling rather sleepy, and her physical fatigue made it easy for her to fall asleep.
Tan Zhengchu gently lay down, reaching out to put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder, but not daring to hold her too tightly, afraid of making her uncomfortable or touching her stomach. He glanced at her sleeping face, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips. Su Yingxue's eyelashes were long, trembling slightly; even in her sleep, she remained beautiful.
Tan Zhengchu sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Taking care of a pregnant woman is really hard work."
Recently, he has been accompanying Su Yingxue whenever she gets up to use the bathroom at night, afraid she might fall. During the day, Su Yingxue tries to catch up on sleep, while he can only work while she sleeps. Although exhausted, he never complains, because he knows that all of this is for her and the child.
After watching Su Yingxue fall asleep, Tan Zhengchu slowly closed his eyes, preparing to go to sleep as well.
After a long day of running around, a tired look gradually appeared on his face.
……
In the stillness of the night, moonlight streamed into the room through the curtains.
Su Yingxue was fast asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a muffled thud—a "bang"—followed by the sensation of liquid flowing from her body. She sat bolt upright, frantically calling out to Tan Zhengchu, "Zhengchu, Zhengchu!"
Tan Zhengchu was startled awake. He opened his eyes groggily and, seeing Su Yingxue's terrified expression, instantly became alert: "What's wrong? Yingxue, are you feeling unwell?"
Su Yingxue gripped his hand tightly, her voice trembling, "I...I feel something's wrong with my body, like my water broke, am I going to give birth?"
Tan Zhengchu's expression instantly turned serious. He quickly lifted the blanket and saw that the sheets were wet. His heart tightened: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
