Chapter 2064 Pregnancy (Part 7)

Under the careful care of Xi Jiu and the two families, Ruan Qi's belly grew bigger little by little.

The vibrant spring passed, and in a blink of an eye, the hot summer arrived.

The hot summer is not very friendly to pregnant women. For the baby in her belly, Ruan Qi reluctantly gave up ice cream and popsicles, and even took the fruit out of the refrigerator and put it aside before eating.

Xi Jiu knew that Ruan Qi was working hard, so he learned many desserts and snacks from Chef Chen. In the difficult months of summer, he made snacks for Ruan Qi in different ways every day, which barely made up for her trauma of not being able to eat cold drinks.

In this way, the hot summer slowly passed.

The autumn with red leaves dyed with frost came slowly, and Ruan Qi's belly, which had been very quiet during pregnancy, began to make trouble.

The initial symptom was morning sickness.

After Ruan Qi became pregnant, except for vomiting a few times at the beginning, her appetite has been very good since then. But since the beginning of autumn, her appetite has dropped sharply, and even if she occasionally has an appetite to eat more, she will vomit it out soon.

Under this torture of eating and vomiting, Ruan Qi quickly lost weight.

She was not fat to begin with. Even though she ate so much during pregnancy, she fed it to the baby in her belly, and she didn't gain any weight. And now, her slender arms and legs have become even thinner, and coupled with her big belly, she looks shaky.

Xi Jiu was so distressed.

In order to make Ruan Qi gain some weight, he, Grandma Ruan, and Chef Chen racked their brains to make all kinds of delicious food. But Ruan Qi's morning sickness symptoms were too severe. She couldn't smell oily food, couldn't eat salty food, sweet food was too greasy, and sour food made her stomach uncomfortable... Ruan Xiaoqi, who used to love to eat everything, no longer had the glory of eating two bowls of rice in one meal. She vomited everything she ate, and vomited until the sky was dark and the sky was dark.

In this way, more than half a month passed.

Ruan Qi, who couldn't eat anything, became more and more listless, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes lost their luster.

Xi Jiu's mouth was burning with bubbles in anxiety.

When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything. Xi Jiu couldn't solve Ruan Qi's morning sickness, so he came up with a brilliant solution. That night, Ruan Qi, who had vomited, went to bed early. Since she became pregnant, her sleep quality has been particularly good. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and would not wake up regardless of thunder or earthquake. Therefore, Ruan Qi, who had fallen into a deep sleep, didn't know that after she fell asleep, Xi Jiu, who had fallen asleep with her, sat up from the bed quietly. The bedroom was pitch black. In order to ensure Ruan Qi's sleep, the curtains were drawn tightly, and no light could penetrate. In such darkness, Xi Jiu sat cross-legged on the bed, facing the sleeping Ruan Qi, like a silent statue. The statue was silent for a long time. A few minutes later, a faint male voice sounded in the bedroom. "Your mother hasn't eaten well for a long time." In the darkness, Xi Jiu stared at Ruan Qi's big belly with deep eyes, and his voice was full of warnings and exhortations. "As a son, it is really unfilial to let your mother worry and work so hard. I am your father and have the right to scold and teach you. Choose one, spanking or spanking."

"..." Ruan Qi's belly was silent.

Xi Jiu stared at it and continued to talk, "You are not born yet, I will remember it for you. If your mother is uncomfortable for one day, I will remember it for you one more day. When you are born in the future, we will settle the accounts together. Oh, by the way, I contacted Assistant Mu today and asked him to customize a pure gold ruler. It is two inches wide and seven inches long, which is especially suitable for hitting a child's buttocks. It feels very good."

I don't know if the baby in Ruan Qi's belly was scared, and it didn't move at all.

Xi Jiu stretched out his hand and tapped her belly lightly: "Are you scared? Then be quiet, don't make your mother uncomfortable anymore. She has a hard time carrying you, you should feel sorry for her."

After the voice fell, Ruan Qi's belly suddenly moved, and her belly bulged slightly.

This is not the first time Xi Jiu has felt fetal movement.

Looking at the little fist that bulged slightly on Ruan Qi's belly, he patted it gently with his big hand, and said with a smile, "Do we count this as a high-five?"

The little fist in the belly bulged again.

Xi Jiu: "Since you high-fived, you agreed. Since you agreed, you must do what you say. Don't bother your mother anymore. If you really want to, just bear with it. You can bother me after the baby is born."

It's not known whether the baby in the belly agreed or not, and the little fist retracted and there was no movement.

Xi Jiu touched Ruan Qi's belly carefully.

"It's late, kid, don't stay up late, go to bed. Mom and I love you very much."

The baby in the belly was completely quiet, and should have fallen asleep.

Ruan Qi's face was flushed as she slept, one hand curled up on the side of her face, and the other hand unconsciously protected her belly.

Xi Jiu looked at her belly, then at Ruan Qi who was sleeping soundly, and lifted the quilt and lay back down.

He reached out and held Ruan Qi's hand curled up on the side of her face, and kissed her fingertips.

"Good night, baby, have a good dream."

——

I don’t know if Xi Jiu’s ‘night talk’ that night worked, but from the next day, Ruan Qi’s morning sickness symptoms actually gradually disappeared.

Without the torment of morning sickness, Ruan Qi’s appetite finally recovered, and her thin cheeks and limbs gradually gained flesh.

In this way, autumn passed and winter came.

Ruan Qi’s delivery day is approaching.

The place of delivery has been decided long ago, in a private hospital under the Xi family. The medical team prepared for Ruan Qi has also been in place, all of whom are top experts in the country, and Nie Beilou is in charge, so the safety factor is full.

However, Ruan Qi and her family had a disagreement on whether to have a natural birth or a caesarean section.

As we all know, natural birth is painful, but the recovery speed after delivery is relatively fast. Caesarean section is anesthetized, the delivery process is not painful, but the recovery after delivery will be slower.

The intention of the Ruan family and the Xi family is to let Ruan Qi have a caesarean section.

After all, no matter how slow the recovery after delivery is, the pain level is not as good as that of opening the cervix. Opening the cervix is ​​really painful. Yang Liu and Duan Wei, who have experienced this kind of pain, do not want Ruan Qi to experience this pain.

As Ruan Qi's husband, Xi Jiu decisively chose a caesarean section.

Don't tell him that natural birth is better for the child. There are so many children born by caesarean section, and none of them is worse than those born by natural birth. What's more, in the matter of childbirth, the feelings of the pregnant woman should be put first, his wife is the most important, and everyone else should stand aside.

Everyone in the Xi and Ruan families unanimously chose a caesarean section.

Ruan Qi had no objection to this. However, Shen Wenqian's words reminded her.

Shen Wenqian said that now the camera is blue-ray high-definition, even the acne on the face can be photographed. If there is really a scar on the body, it is easy to cause visual impact to the audience when on camera.

Especially when filming a movie. Unlike the shooting techniques of TV series, movie shooting is accustomed to magnifying the close-up of a certain part of the actor's body. In this way, if Ruan Qi needs to show her belly, the scar will definitely be photographed.

Of course, this does not mean that the scar caused by childbirth is ugly. Every scar on a mother's belly deserves praise, it is a badge of courage and love. But Ruan Qi is an actor, she needs to respect the role in the script. If the character in the script has no scars, then she cannot have scars. This is professional ethics and respect for the audience.

Shen Wenqian's words are right.

Ruan Qi thought for a few seconds after listening, and then changed her mind-

She wanted to give birth naturally.

This decision caused an uproar in the Xi and Ruan families without surprise.

Xi Jiu was the first to stand up and oppose.

Natural childbirth is too painful, he can't accept Ruan Qi to endure such great pain. If it weren't for his inability to give birth, Xi Jiu would have wanted to give birth for Ruan Qi.

Xi Jiu strongly opposed it, and even pulled his mother-in-law Yang Liu to help Ruan Qi with his work.

But Ruan Qi looked soft, but once she made a decision, she couldn't be pulled back by ten cows.

She single-handedly argued with more than a dozen people from the Ruan and Xi families, and even brought out the self-cultivation of actors, and finally defeated a hundred people and convinced everyone.

Ruan Xi and her family agreed to her decision to have a natural birth.

Xi Jiu had to nod his head in agreement under Ruan Qi's eager eyes, but he had a request -

He wanted to accompany her during the birth.

He could not personally experience the suffering that Ruan Qi suffered in the delivery room, but he had to accompany her in person.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how much his lover had suffered, and then remember it deeply in his heart and repay her with his whole life.

Ruan Qi agreed to Xi Jiu's request.

In this way, in the anxious and joyful expectations of Ruan Xi and her family, the due date finally arrived.

Ruan Qi was sent to the hospital with the stars.

On the second day after she was admitted to the hospital, Ruan Qi felt a pain in her stomach just after lunch.

Then, a damp heat flowed out from under her skirt.

The amniotic fluid broke.

At this time, Ruan Qi was taking a walk at the door of the ward.

Feeling the damp heat between her legs, she turned around calmly with the help of the wall and walked slowly into the ward.

Xi Jiu was washing fruit for her in the bathroom of the ward.

Ruan Qi knocked on the bathroom door calmly, and then after Xi Jiu turned around, she said to him: "Jiujiu, my water broke."

Xi Jiu: ………………

Xi Jiu was stunned for a second, but it seemed like a century.

A second later, the fruit plate in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his handsome face suddenly turned pale.

"The water broke? Is the baby going to be born?!"

Xi Jiu, who was used to the world, was so panicked that his hands were shaking.

He rushed to Ruan Qi in one step, bent down to pick her up, and rushed out with his legs raised.

"Doctor! Doctor! My wife is going to give birth!"

A few minutes later, more than a dozen medical staff hurried over, and Ruan Qi was put on the bed and pushed into the delivery room by everyone.

Not long after Ruan Qi entered the delivery room, both Ruan and Xi's families came.

Yang Liu rushed to the front and grabbed Xi Jiu's clothes after seeing him. "Where's Xiao Qi?"

"Inside."

Yang Liu: "How many fingers are open?"

"Three fingers." Xi Jiu's face was pale at this time, and his fingers trembled as he reached into his trouser pocket.

Seeing him panic like this, Yang Liu couldn't help but frown: "Why don't you go in to accompany Xiao Qi? What are you doing here?"

Xi Jiu took out his mobile phone from his pocket and tried to calmly answer his mother-in-law's words: "Let's go to the supermarket. The doctor said that the opening of the uterus finger needs to replenish energy. I'll go to give Xiao Qi some chocolate."

Yang Liu's eyebrows relaxed when she heard this.

She let go of the hand holding Xi Jiu's clothes and said to him: "Don't go. Xiao Qi needs you now, you can't leave. Mu Nan, go buy chocolate for your sister."

Ruan Mu Nan turned around and left immediately.

Because the hospital is under the Xi family, Ruan Qi, as the wife of the head of the family, has some privileges. Therefore, she did not require only one family member to accompany her during childbirth, and Yang Liu and Xi Jiu could both be with her.

Yang Liu grabbed the panicked Xi Jiu and walked into the delivery room.

At this time, Ruan Qi was lying on the hospital bed, accompanied by two nurses, waiting for the opening of the uterus finger.

Waves of contractile pain spread throughout the body, and the two nurses seemed a little nervous. But Ruan Qi, the person involved, was as calm as if she was not going to give birth, and she was even playing games on her phone.

When Yang Liu pushed the door open, she saw her daughter lying on the hospital bed playing games with her e-sports teammates.

She looked at her daughter's careless appearance and her eyelids couldn't help twitching.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

Ruan Qi, who was busy playing games, took the time to look up from her phone.

When she saw Yang Liu, her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly at her mother: "Mom is here? You sit down quickly, I'll finish this game first."

After that, she looked at the phone screen again and shouted with full energy, "Liu Nanfeng, the tower is going to be stolen, go home quickly!"

Yang Liu:...

Xi Jiu:...

Two nurses:...

It's really rare for a pregnant woman to play games while opening the palace finger.

Everyone was speechless and paid attention to Ruan Qi's condition.

As time passed, the pain became more and more severe and frequent.

Ruan Qi couldn't play the game in her hand anymore.

She put down her phone, frowned and grabbed Xi Jiu's hand, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down her pale face.

"Jiujiu, it hurts a little."

Xi Jiu's face was paler than Ruan Qi's.

He held Ruan Qi's hand tightly and kept comforting her: "Baby, bear with it, it will be fine after giving birth. We will have this one and never have another one. I will get sterilized tomorrow. I will definitely not give birth again, even if I die."

Ruan Qi, who was in pain, was amused by Xi Jiu's words.

"It hurts a lot to get sterilized."

"It hurts, it hurts." Xi Jiu didn't care, his eyes were full of heartache for Ruan Qi, "No matter how painful it is, it's not as painful as giving birth to a child. You dare to give birth to a child, can't I bear that little bit of pain? That's too unworthy of you."

Ruan Qi smiled and raised the corners of her lips.

"After I give birth to the baby, I want to eat crayfish."

"Okay, eat." At this time, when Ruan Qi asked for the moon in the sky, Xi Jiu would immediately build a spaceship, "What flavor do you want to eat, I will make it for the baby."

Ruan Qi frowned in pain, but smiled: "Which baby are you making it for? Me or the baby?"

Xi Jiu: "I only have one baby. The one in my belly is the cub."

Ruan Qi couldn't help but laughed again.

"Have you thought of a name for the cub?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

Xi Jiu: "If it's a boy, call it Ruan Sui. If it's a girl, call it Ruan Nian."

"Ruan Sui, Ruan Nian..."

Ruan Qi took two breaths in pain and repeated the two names in his mouth several times, "Is there any saying about these two names?"

Xi Jiu nodded.

"Yes. I'll tell you after you give birth."

...

Ruan Qi's cervix was dilated to four fingers soon, and she could go to the delivery room for epidural.

The medical staff pushed her in, and Xi Jiu, who was accompanying her during the delivery, also changed into sterile clothes and followed her into the delivery room.

The door of the delivery room slowly closed.

The Xi and Ruan families waited anxiously outside.

In the delivery room, Xi Jiu saw with his own eyes that the doctor injected the painless needle into Ruan Qi's spinal foramen.

He burst into tears.

Seeing their boss holding his wife's hand and crying, the doctors and nurses in the delivery room felt very complicated.

Out of respect for his boss, the doctor who was responsible for delivering Ruan Qi kindly advised Xi Jiu a few words.

But as soon as she finished saying, "This is how pregnant women give birth," Xi Jiu cried even harder.

"I'm sorry, baby. It's my fault. I made you suffer." The man's eyes were red, and his usual calmness was gone. He looked at Ruan Qi with a look of heartache and guilt. "We will never have another child. When the child is born, I will teach him/her a good lesson. If he/she dares not to be filial to you, I will donate all my property without leaving a penny."

Ruan Qi, who was trying hard, almost laughed to death.

Xi Jiu kept saying sorry, and the doctor in charge of the delivery endured it, but finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mr. Xi, can you be quiet? Your chattering affects the mother's efforts!"

"..."

Xi Jiu was as quiet as a chicken in an instant.

Without Xi Jiu's mumbling and crying, the delivery room finally quieted down.

The medical staff focused on delivering Ruan Qi, while Ruan Qi put all her efforts into pushing the baby out of her belly.

Her hospital gown was soaked with sweat, and her face was pale and fragile.

She held Xi Jiu's hand tightly, and her slender neck was stretched into a beautiful arc due to the effort.

Finally-

"Wow--!!!"

A loud cry resounded throughout the delivery room.

At 3:28 p.m. that day, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu's child was born.

"Jiujiu, what's the name of the kid?"

"If it's a boy, let's call him Ruan Sui. If it's a girl, let's call him Ruan Nian."

"What's the meaning of these two names?"

"Yes. Their meaning is..."

Together for life, never forgetting.

...

When we first met, I'll always remember you.

I only wish to be with you for life. With you, life and death depend on each other.

Finished!

There will be the last chapter tomorrow, two or three things about raising a child, not too long, a few small stories. Then it's completely over!
