The fax machine beside him suddenly rang.

Shen Fanxing’s eyes flickered and she stood up to walk to the side.

She placed her hand on the paper and stared at it. After some hesitation, she picked it up.

Firstly, fear. Pregnant women had varying degrees of fear of childbirth. This kind of bad mentality would not only affect the mother’s diet and sleep before giving birth, but it would also affect the body’s stress ability, preventing the body from quickly entering the “best state”.

Second, it was urgent. Some pregnant women were anxious to give birth before their due date. When it was their due date, they couldn’t sleep or eat all day. They didn’t know that there was a range of activities during their due date. It was normal for them to give birth ten days earlier or later.

Thirdly, be careful not to be careless. Some pregnant women were careless and didn’t care even when they were at the end of their pregnancy. As a result, they were often caught off guard when they were about to give birth.

Exhaustion refers to physical or mental over-exhaustion. During pregnancy, activities should be reduced appropriately, especially with good rest and sufficient sleep.

5. Being lazy. Some women are worried about miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy and are afraid of premature labor in the late stages of pregnancy. They don’t dare to move during the entire pregnancy. In fact, women who move too little during pregnancy are more likely to have difficulties in childbirth.

6. Worry, negative emotions can affect a successful delivery…

7. Avoid loneliness. Pregnant women would experience a certain degree of nervousness before giving birth. At this moment, they really hoped to receive encouragement and support from others, especially their husbands…

8. Avoid hunger. During childbirth, it consumes a lot of stamina. Before giving birth, the mother must eat well. Family members should think of ways to let the mother eat more nutritious and easily digested food. They must avoid entering the delivery room without eating anything.

9. Avoid long-distance travel, especially not by car or boat. This is because the various conditions during the journey are limited. Once the delivery is difficult, it is very dangerous and may endanger the safety of the mother and child.

10. Abuse of drugs is prohibited, and childbirth is a normal physiological activity. There is generally no need for drugs, and there are no drugs that can reduce the abdominal pain of the pregnant woman. Therefore, the pregnant woman and her relatives must not abuse drugs, let alone inject oxytocin to avoid serious consequences.

After reading the rules carefully, Shen Fanxing bit her right index finger and smiled.

She knew that was the case.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know that pregnant women had negative emotions and thoughts before giving birth. She could avoid these. However, this was the first time in her life. No matter how mentally prepared she was, she couldn’t ignore it.

This morning, she became nervous because of Qingzhi’s sudden mention. Her reliance on Bo Jinchuan had become a habit. She had mentioned it to him this morning, but she didn’t expect him to react so strongly.

After coming out of the washroom, he said very little.

The cigarette flashed across her mind again and Shen Fanxing pursed her lips. It seemed like he was more nervous than her.

She placed the paper back where it was. Just as she was about to leave the study, Bo Jinchuan appeared at the door.

“We still have to wait for lunch. Let’s rest for a while more.”

Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “I’ve been resting recently. I should move more.”

Bo Jinchuan’s gaze swept across her legs.

Her legs were swollen and sore. It did not feel good to walk.

“Can your legs take it?”

Shen Fanxing smiled and went forward to hold his arm. “Thank you for massaging me later.”

Bo Jinchuan smiled and said, “I’ll bring you downstairs.”

“Yeah.”

As the two of them walked downstairs, Bo Jinchuan suddenly said,

“Do you want to know more details when your friend gives birth?”

Shen Fanxing paused and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I heard that some families will have a follow-up photo of the delivery process from before the delivery.”

Shen Fanxing looked at him in surprise. She didn’t expect him to know this.

Bo Jinchuan gestured for her to look at the steps. “If you want to know, I can contact Tang Fan and get him to make the arrangements.”

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and asked, “Qingzhi has to agree, right?”

“You can greet her.”

“Qingzhi is fine, but the difficult one should be Limo…”

Bo Jinchuan glanced at her and asked, “Do you think Limo’s opinion is important?”

Shen Fanxing thought for a while. Of course, pregnant women were the most important now. If Qingzhi insisted, Limo…

Indeed, she could only obey obediently.

“Ha…” Shen Fanxing chuckled softly. “You can even think of that?”

Bo Jinchuan pressed his lips and asked, “Do you want it?”

Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “I’ll tell Qingzhi later.”

Bo Jinchuan nodded and didn’t continue.

After lunch, Shen Fanxing told Qing Zhi about this.

After all, it was an important moment in her life. Xu Qingzhi agreed without much consideration.

Bo Jinchuan gave Tang Fan a call.

“This is very common, but this should be something the Li family should consider. Why aren’t you taking good care of your little wife? Why are you concerned about other people’s matters? Could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to her best friend?!”

Bo Jinchuan’s face darkened. “Do you still want the hospital?”

Tang Fan pouted and said, “Alright, alright! I’m just joking. Don’t threaten her with her life!”

Bo Jinchuan couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on this indecent doctor.

“Start recording from the start. Before you send it to me, cut off the video of me entering the delivery room…”

Tang Fan laughed and said, “The recording is mainly about the delivery process. Are you sure you want to edit this?”

“You want me to watch another woman give birth?”

Tang Fan was speechless.

Otherwise, why would he want this recording?

“Okay, okay, okay. You’re amazing. Of course I can’t watch!”

After hanging up, Bo Jinchuan kept his phone and looked up.

The old lady and her mother were walking back with two pregnant women.

He strode down the steps and walked towards them.

—

The due date was in two days. Xu Qingzhi had asked the photographer to prepare a video camera in case the due date was brought forward.

Compared to Xu Qingzhi, Li Mo’s situation seemed to be worse.

She guarded Xu Qingzhi every day and didn’t dare to leave.

There was obvious anger in her eyes. She gave up on her work and blocked all the company’s phone numbers.

He had to guard his mother, Grandma, and even the doctor.

They told Xu Qingzhi about some of the techniques during childbirth, such as the contraction of the uterus, the tension of the yin… and so on. These were terms that men had to avoid. He didn’t feel anything now. He even felt that the child wasn’t in his stomach, or he would have given birth.

Unfortunately, his wife had to do it herself.

She didn’t eat as much as Xu Qingzhi.

Sometimes, when the ward fell silent, Xu Qingzhi could see him secretly looking for information about prenatal care and postpartum care.

In comparison, she was as free as a lord.

However, when she put down her phone, Limo was either asking her to eat some fruits or drink some water. She looked so restless and helpless.

Surprisingly, Xu Qingzhi wasn’t afraid and worried anymore.

Just as she put down the cup, Limo refilled it.

Looking at him, Xu Qingzhi sighed softly and crossed her legs. She leaned against the bed and said, “I want to hear you sing.”

Li Mo raised his head and looked at her stomach. “When did he want to hear it?”

“Just now. Hurry up, didn’t you learn it before? Let’s sing ‘Mommy is the best in the world’.”

Li Mo was speechless.

“Hurry up…”

Xu Qingzhi grabbed his arm and urged, “If you don’t sing, the baby and I will be very sad…”

Li Mo took a deep breath. “… In this world… Ahem… Only Mommy is good. A child with a mother is like a treasure. She threw herself into Mommy’s arms and can’t enjoy happiness… In this world, only Mommy is good…”

After the song, Li Mo’s nose was covered in sweat.

Xu Qingzhi gave her a round of applause.

Li Mo felt that he had used up most of his shame.

“It’s so nice… Okay, let’s sing another song!”

The corners of Li Mo’s mouth twitched. “…”

Wasn’t she being too obvious?

Why was Mommy the best in the world and Daddy the best?

Childish!

“Hurry up! Welcome, welcome!”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes lit up and she clapped her hands.

Li Mo rubbed his forehead. It was hard to reject such kindness. He took another deep breath—

“I have a good daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy. I have a good daddy. When I cook, it’s loud and clear. When I wash my clothes, it’s loud and clear. When I wash my clothes, it’s loud and clear. When I’m happy, hahaha. Hahaha, when I spank my butt, it’s loud and clear…”

There was an unconcealable sense of shame in Li Mo’s voice. The song was sung in a strange tone. At first, Xu Qingzhi covered her mouth and laughed. In the end, she hugged her stomach and laughed until tears almost fell.

She had wanted to lighten the atmosphere, but… she was dying of laughter…

What kind of thoughtful lyrics were these? They were written perfectly!

Li Mo’s face darkened and he finally finished singing the song. It took him a long time to suppress his embarrassment.

Seeing Xu Qingzhi’s uncontrollable laughter, she was furious and helpless.

She was really smug.

In this world, only Mommy was good. A good father had to cook and wash clothes. He might even be a bad father who knew how to spank…

“Are you that happy?”

Xu Qingzhi nodded. “So, Daddy, do you want to be a good father or a bad father?”

Li Mo looked at her in confusion. “If you can take over the spanking job, I’m happy to be a good father.”

Xu Qingzhi frowned and shook her head. “How can Mommy hit Baby? He will be sad. You’re not allowed to hit him…”

Li Mo smirked. “You might not know this, but children are raised. Unless he doesn’t do anything wrong in his life, he has to be taught a lesson. Only by beating him up will he remember! Forget it, you can’t do this. Let me do it!”

Xu Qingzhi pressed her lips and said, “Then… you have to show mercy!”

Li Mo was amused by her. “I’m his father after all. How can I beat him to death?!”

Xu Qingzhi stroked her round belly and asked, “Then… are you still going to be a good father?”

“I want him to remember me! He’s my biological son, not an enemy!”

Xu Qingzhi felt relieved.

“The weather outside is good. Let’s go out for a walk! Proper exercise is good for smooth delivery.”

Li Mo stood up and helped her put on her coat and mask before accompanying her downstairs.

Qiao Zhilan and the old lady came in the afternoon with the bedding and blankets needed for the delivery. Since the VIP ward was free, they stayed there.

They waited all night, but nothing happened.

Xu Qingzhi had a feeling that since she was coming anyway, she would come sooner or later. Limo would be by her side, her grandmother and mother would be next door, and the doctors in the hospital would be keeping an eye on her. There was nothing to worry about and she slept soundly the entire night.

Early the next morning, the old lady and Qiao Zhilan followed behind the doctor to ask about the situation.

After a series of questions, Xu Qingzhi didn’t feel like unloading at all.

The doctor said to wait and see. Her due date might be delayed, but it was normal. There was no hurry.

This old lady and Qiao Zhilan knew how to thank him.

On the other hand, Li Mo looked haggard.

This brat was really torturous.

Finally, it was time. Who would have thought that he didn’t intend to come out?

Indeed, she was born with a body that deserved a beating!

Even before he was born, he was already thinking of how to beat him up!

“Qingzhi, let’s relax. There’s no hurry. It’s fine to postpone it. Don’t be nervous. It’ll come out sooner or later. This child will definitely stick to you in the future…”

Hearing this, Li Mo suddenly looked up and stared at Xu Qingzhi’s stomach with a dark expression.

Clingy?

This brat really deserved a beating!

Xu Qingzhi smiled happily and said, “I’m not nervous with you guys around! It’s best if the baby sticks to me. It proves that it likes me! I thought that boys wouldn’t be so clingy…”

“Sticky! Of course it’s sticky! You’re its mother. If it doesn’t stick to you, who will?” The old lady said hurriedly. Seeing that Zhi was in a good state, she was relieved.

Li Mo’s face darkened!

Stinky! Little!

He would try!

I haven’t had a good time together!

After unloading the goods, he still wanted to occupy Xu Qingzhi?

Ha.

Dream on!

Xu Qingzhi seemed to have sensed something. She turned to look at the silent Li Mo and saw him staring at her stomach with a sinister smile.

It made her heart tremble.

She hugged her stomach and shifted. “What are you looking at?”

Li Mo retracted his gaze and the expression in his eyes.

“I’m talking to Baby with my mind. I want him to come out obediently…”

Also, try being clingy!

Xu Qingzhi paused and burst out laughing.

At this moment, everyone saw Xu Qingzhi’s stomach move.

There were even two small footprints.

The direction of her feet was Li Mo’s.

Xu Qingzhi gasped and looked at her stomach in surprise.

“He… is so strong…”

[Little Mo: I protest. If you don’t let me cling to Mommy, I won’t go out! Bad Daddy!]

Li Mo: Brat, you’re indeed asking for a beating!
