Extra Chapter 7: Pregnancy and Childbirth
“I’m not cold.” Shen Yanqing hugged her. “What movie are you watching?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t look closely.”
Nan Ge did not deliberately not answer. She did not pay attention to the title of the movie. She had been distracted for the past hour and did not pay attention to the plot.
Compared to the movie, she cared more about Shen Yanqing. “Why were you gone for so long?
“I spoke to Grandpa for a while and stayed for a long time. I lost track of time.”
He hooked his arm around her waist and pulled away from her. His eyes curved. “Are you waiting for me? Are you tired? Shall I carry you upstairs to sleep for a while?”
Nan Ge nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m already sleepy.” As soon as Auntie Wang entered the video room, she saw the couple leaning against each other.
Just as she was about to leave quietly, she saw Shen Yanqing pick Nan Ge up by the waist.
“Aren’t you going to watch the movie?” She stopped in her tracks and opened the door for them.
Shen Yanqing continued, “She’s a little tired. I’ll bring her up to rest.”
Auntie Wang said, “Sigh. I was too careless. It’s not comfortable for her to lie on this sofa.”
Afraid that Auntie Wang would feel guilty, Nan Ge quickly turned around and explained, “Mom, I’m just a little sleepy. I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll go up and take a nap first.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Back in her room, Nan Ge lay on the bed and yawned. She turned sideways and subconsciously looked for him. Seeing that he was busy working for her, she patted the side. “Come up and lie down for a while.”
“Alright, go to sleep first. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
As he spoke, his hands did not stop moving, but he still habitually turned around and looked back at her before he could feel at ease.
Nan Ge pursed her lips and deliberately said, “But I can’t sleep if you don’t come up.”
With her “threat”, Shen Yanqing smiled helplessly and quickly walked toward her.
He lay down by the bed and did not take up too much space. He gave her enough space so that she could turn over and move.
Nan Ge snuggled into his arms and found a comfortable position to close her eyes.
“What did you tell Grandpa?”
The man rested his chin on the top of her head and patted her back lightly. “I told Grandpa about your recent situation. You can’t go over this time, so I have to explain to Grandpa.”
“That’s it?”
“I also hope that the old man can bless you to be safe and that the babies will be born successfully.”
Shen Yanqing deliberately slowed down his voice to coax her to sleep. His lazy and magnetic tone made Nan Ge feel like she was on a late-night radio station.
Under his “temptation”, Nan Ge quickly could not hold on anymore.
When she fell asleep, Shen Yanqing stopped talking. n--o.-V)/e-/L/(B.(1/.n
In fact, other than hoping that his grandfather would protect Nan Ge, he did not have anvthinz else he wanted. He knelt in the ancestral hall for more than an hour. When he got up, his legs were a little numb. If not for the servant coming over to remind him, he would not have known that he had been there for so long.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he was probably quite talkative earlier and kept repeating this matter to his grandfather.
Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief. His smile was filled with helplessness and indulgence.
Ever since he was together with Nan Ge, he seemed to have become more talkative.
At night, the Shen family was present.
Nan Ge’s attention had been on Shen Yanqing’s cousin’s baby daughter.
The baby was only half a year old. After being quiet in his mother’s arms for a while, she started crying. Afraid that she would disturb everyone from eating, the younger cousin took the baby over and carried her to the living room to coax her.
His younger cousin’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance. They could still hear a few whispers as he coaxed the baby.
Nan Ge clicked her tongue slightly. After becoming a father for the first time, his younger cousin’s image had become much higher.
He no longer looked like a young male university student who had just graduated.
After dinner, Nan Ge was helped to the living room by Shen Yanqing to rest.
The younger cousin’s daughter was lying in the crib. The baby did not make a fuss anymore. She hugged the toy and nibbled on it alone. Nan Ge leaned forward curiously and teased her with the toy.
The baby reached out and grabbed one of Nan Ge’s fingers tightly with one small hand. She was babbling something. Anyway, judging from her expression, she was quite happy.
Not long after, Auntie Wang came over. She said that the baby had grown up a
little and looked just like the photo of his cousin when he was young.
When his aunt heard this, she echoed, “Daughters tend to resemble their fathers.”
Auntie Wang: “Eh, that might not be the case.”
Nan Ge could not help but take another look at Shen Yanqing.
The latter didn’t notice their conversation just now. He was sitting opposite her and learning from his younger cousin.
For a good student like Shen Yanqing, seeing that she was about to give birth soon, he was afraid that he would not do his homework well and panicked.
During the few days he was back at the old residence, he would chat with his younger cousin about the baby when he was free.
Nan Ge did not want to listen. She always hid far away.
She narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze across his face, trying to look at his face through the lenses.
“Do you still have the photos of Shen Yanqing when he was young?” She retracted her gaze and asked Auntie Wang and his aunt curiously.
“Yes. Didn’t you see it last time?” Auntie Wang thought that Nan Ge had already seen it.
“All I see are photos of him being older. I want to see those when he was just born or one or two years old. Do you have them?”
Online, people said that babies were wrinkled when they were born. She had to be prepared. She first looked at Shen Yanqing’s photo and thought of her daughter’s appearance.
If her daughter was like her, everyone would be happy. As for Shen Yanqing...
she could not imagine it now.
Auntie Wang quickly found a photo album for her.
It was not the same album as the one Nan Ge had seen last time. It was said that this album had always been in Mr. Shen’s study. It seemed that Shen Yanqing did not even know that this photo album existed.
The first few photos were of Shen Yanqing when he was young, from the moment he was born.
At the end, she realized why Shen Yanqing had not seen this photo album before.
In the photos at the back were Shen Yanqing and Mr. Shen.
The young and elegant Mr. Shen carried the young Shen Yanqing and took photos one after another. The only thing that did not appear was his mother.
She remembered that in the album she had seen earlier, there were photos of Shen Yanqing, his younger cousin, pictures of them together, his grandfather, and other elders.
Now it seemed that Shen Yanqing’s mother did not even leave a photo for him.
Nan Ge did not look at it for long. Before Shen Yanqing noticed, she got someone to put the photo album back.
Not long after the Spring Festival, Nan Ge was hospitalized early for delivery.
It was almost the ninth month of her pregnancy, so the entire family could feel more at ease with her in the hospital.
From the day she was hospitalized, Shen Yanqing had been relieved.
On the 15th day of the lunar calendar, during the Lantern Festival, Nan Gel s stomach started to hurt and she was sent to the operating theater early in the morning..
