Xu Qingzhi gasped and looked at her stomach in surprise.

“He… is so strong…”

Li Mo saw everything clearly.

However, other than the initial surprise, she frowned again.

Why did he feel that this kid was going against him?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

Could this brat have done it on purpose?

But later on, he dismissed that thought.

How could a brat who couldn’t even open his eyes think of going against him?

Ha.

She looked at Xu Qingzhi’s stomach again.

He had to come out first.

He didn’t believe that he could stay in the womb forever no matter how shameless he was.

Her feet rested on her stomach for a while before she slowly stopped and retracted them.

Then he settled down.

Shen Fanxing rubbed her fingers together. Just as she tapped the child’s feet, he moved as though he was responding to her.

The strength pressing against her fingers was too clear.

She couldn’t wait for the baby to be born.

She wanted to hug and kiss him personally.

Looking at her calm stomach and feeling that he seemed to have found a comfortable position to settle down, her lips curled into a smile. Her face revealed the gentleness and love of a mother.

Seeing this, the old lady and Qiao Zhilan were extremely excited.

This kid was healthy and energetic!

—

On the day of her due date, Xu Qingzhi was still on tenterhooks.

She ate, drank, and slept.

She had to comfort the restless and anxious Li Mo.

Without batting an eyelid, Limo’s entire body was tense. He didn’t notice that he was being comforted by a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.

On the first day of the delay, Xu Qingzhi pulled Limo to the park behind the hospital for a walk.

Li Mo admired Xu Qingzhi from the bottom of his heart.

How strong was her mentality?

In comparison, wasn’t he a little… lame?

The next day, Xu Qingzhi finished her lunch and sighed when she saw Li Mo entering the washroom with a haggard face.

She sat cross-legged on the bed and patted her stomach gently.

“Kid, it’s not that I want to criticize you… but you should have had enough of torturing others. Look at how badly you’ve tortured your father. Let me warn you, he’s my husband. If anything happens to him, I won’t forgive you. I spent a lot of time and effort to settle him back then. Tell me… how much heartache do you think I’ll feel?”

“Tell me, what’s there to stay in your stomach? How beautiful is the world outside? There’s good food and drinks, and you can even see your beloved parents. They’re colorful and you can have whatever you want. Aren’t these delicious? In your stomach, other than eating and sleeping, what’s the point?”

“My good son, stop being naughty. It’s time to come out. It’s not good to stay inside for too long…”

Xu Qingzhi used both soft and hard methods. At this point, Shen Fanxing called her every day.

Picking up her phone, she smiled happily and waved it in front of her stomach. “Look, your future mother-in-law is urging you every day!”

As she answered the call, she got out of bed and strolled around the room.

Seeing how nervous she was, Shen Fanxing exhaled softly and asked, “Still nothing?”

“Yes… I’m thinking about this kid! I’ve lived too comfortably and forgot that he still needs to be born.”

Shen Fanxing chuckled softly and asked, “Why are you thinking?”

Xu Qingzhi sighed and said, “Tell him not to covet that land!”

With that, she moved the phone a little further away and aimed the camera at her stomach.

“Son, look at who this is. Do you know your future mother-in-law? She’s pretty, right? So think about it, how pretty is her daughter? Let me tell you, Little Moon is still in your mother-in-law’s stomach. If you don’t come out soon, Little Moon might be born before you. At that time, you’ll be in a relationship with her or she’ll be fancied by another man. You’ll cry then…”

Shen Fanxing smiled helplessly and said, “It’s an arranged marriage, but it depends on fate. Perhaps Yueyue will like someone else and he might…”

“Fanxing… Fanxing…”

Xu Qingzhi interrupted Shen Fanxing and she paused. The camera shook violently.

She frowned. “Qingzhi?”

“Fanxing… something is flowing out below me…”

Shen Fanxing was stunned. She asked through the phone, “Where’s Limo?”

“He’s in the washroom…”

“Limo! Limo!” Shen Fanxing shouted. Upon hearing her, Limo rushed out of the washroom.

She saw Xu Qingzhi holding her stomach with one hand as she supported herself on the sofa. Her figure was staggering and her expression was filled with sadness and panic.

He hurried over and held her.

“Qingzhi!”

Xu Qingzhi grabbed him tightly. “Limo, I… I’m bleeding… Am I going to give birth…”

Xu Qingzhi’s thin pants were stuck to her legs due to the humidity.

Just as Li Mo was about to carry her to the doctor, the door opened.

Tang Fan walked in with a few doctors.

There was already a moving bed waiting at the door. Tang Fan looked at Li Mo sternly.

“Hurry and bring her out.”

Li Mo reacted and quickly carried her to the moving bed.

Xu Qingzhi’s face was pale and she was in pain, but she held onto Li Mo’s wrist tightly.

“Limo…”

“I’m here! I’m here!”

Li Mo grabbed her hand tightly in response.

Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, “If anything happens, remember to protect the child…”

Li Mo’s nervous expression darkened instantly.

“Did you hear that?”

“What nonsense are you spouting!”

When the old lady and Qiao Zhilan heard the voice, they walked out from the room next door. Coincidentally, they heard Xu Qingzhi’s words and the old lady berated her disapprovingly.

“Nothing will happen. If you say such depressing words again, I’ll get angry with you!”

Xu Qingzhi bit her lips. “I’m sorry, Grandma. I was wrong…”

“Hurry up…”

The old lady waved her hand and urged.

Xu Qingzhi bent her legs in discomfort and bit her lips harder. Her pale face was covered in sweat and she looked like she was in pain.

“Enter the delivery room!”

Under Tang Fan’s command, Xu Qingzhi was quickly pushed away.

Li Mo followed closely behind.

Xu Qingzhi forced herself to open her eyes. Her gaze landed on a woman who was filming with a video recorder. She turned to look at Li Mo.

“Limo…”

“I’m here!”

“I think I haven’t hung up on Fanxing…”

Li Mo was speechless.

After being speechless for a long time, Li Mo said, “… She can hang up herself.”

Xu Qingzhi hummed in acknowledgment.

The pain made her frown again…

“Limo, it hurts…”

“… Hold on for a while, just a while. When the rascal comes out, I’ll avenge you…”

Other than these words, Limo had no idea what he wanted to say.

Seeing how upset Xu Qingzhi was, he really didn’t know what to do.

Her words made Xu Qingzhi smile. Her lips moved, but she didn’t say anything else. At that moment, she was pushed into the delivery room.

The old lady and Qiao Zhilan were stopped outside.

—

Shen Fanxing stared at the phone in her hand and gradually fell silent.

Looking at the motionless scene, Shen Fanxing was in a daze.

Her voice was so loud that everyone in the villa ran over.

Bo Jinchuan walked to Shen Fanxing immediately.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Fanxing snapped out of her trance and turned to look at him. “Qing… Qingzhi, she’s about to give birth…”

Bo Jinchuan was taken aback.

Shen Fanxing blinked, trying to extricate herself from the fear of Qingzhi giving birth.

“I called her just now to ask about the situation, but after chatting for a while, she suddenly bled… Her water must have broken…”

“…”

“It sounds like she’s in pain…”

Upon hearing this, the old lady and Lou Ruoyi hurriedly said,

“Which woman gives birth comfortably? Don’t worry too much. Medical conditions are so good now. No one will be fine.”

Bo Jinchuan comforted her back but didn’t say anything.

Shen Fanxing hung up and took a deep breath before nodding.

“I hope they can all come out safely.”

After a long wait, Xu Qingzhi screamed in pain.

The old lady and Qiao Zhilan stared anxiously at the door, their hearts aching with anticipation and worry.

Her emotions were complicated.

The atmosphere in Grand View Manor was tense.

They were waiting for Shen Fanxing to give birth safely.

…

Finally.

After some time, just as the old lady was about to collapse, Xu Qingzhi’s high-pitched cries sounded from the delivery room.

“Yes, yes!”

The old lady and Lou Ruoyi hurried to the door.

Not long after, the door to the delivery room opened. The doctor smiled and told them, “The mother and son are safe.”

The old lady heaved a sigh of relief. Her body swayed and she almost collapsed.

Qiao Zhilan immediately supported her with tears in her eyes. “Mom, are you alright?”

The old lady steadied herself and shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ve finally given birth. The mother and son are safe. That’s good, that’s good…”

The doctor smiled and said, “You probably know that the first pregnancy will take longer. The second time will be fine. Old Madam, Madam Li, congratulations.”

The old lady smiled happily. “Congratulations, thank you. I’ll send you sweets later!”

The nurse who had tidied up the baby came out with the swaddling clothes.

The old lady and Qiao Zhilan’s gazes immediately followed her.

“Old Lady, my great-grandson is here.”

Qiao Zhilan was so happy that she wanted to reach out to hug her, but the old lady pushed her aside. She went forward and took it carefully.

Her body, which looked very tired just now, was now stable as if it was all an illusion.

Qiao Zhilan pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy. However, this only lasted for a moment.

The grandson she had been waiting for was right in front of her.

She went up to the old lady and looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes. Her heart was filled with happiness and joy.

“Mom, you’re just like Limo!”

The old lady laughed happily. “… Nonsense, she’s clearly prettier than Limo!”

Qiao Zhilan nodded without denying it. “Mom is right. After all, Qingzhi is very beautiful.”

Carefully touching the little darling’s face, Qiao Zhilan looked up and asked the nurse.

“Is the mother alright?”

The nurse smiled and said, “She’s fine. She’ll be fine after some rest.”

Qiao Zhilan nodded in relief and looked at the old lady. “I’ll get the butler to prepare some nourishing soup.”

The old lady responded, her gaze never leaving her great-grandson.

In the end, the doctor suggested that she stay in the observation room for observation before the old lady was willing to let go.

Li Mo held Xu Qingzhi’s hand tightly and pushed her out with the medical staff.

The old lady hurried forward.

Xu Qingzhi had almost exhausted all her energy. She didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes.

Her pale face was covered in sweat, and her long hair was almost completely drenched. She looked lifeless.

Li Mo caressed her face from time to time. While his heart ached for her, his face darkened.

He still had lingering fears after witnessing Xu Qingzhi giving birth.

He knew that giving birth was painful, but today, he realized how painful it was.

The old lady stroked Xu Qingzhi’s hair and whispered,

“Qingzhi, Grandma has already seen the baby. He’s very healthy and looks exactly like Limo… Rest well, you’ll be able to see the baby soon…”

The old lady’s words made Xu Qingzhi’s eyelashes flutter again. She forced herself to open her eyes.

“Baby…”

“Baby is fine! Be good, don’t worry. You need to rest well now.”

Xu Qingzhi blinked to show that she understood. The old lady smiled in relief.

She took a look at Li Mo and her face darkened. “Did you see that?! Do you know that giving birth to your child is akin to touching the nose of the King of Hell? If you don’t dote on me in the future, I’ll…”

Without saying anything, she raised the walking stick in her hand.

But it only swayed a little.

Li Mo pursed his lips and didn’t react.

When Xu Qingzhi returned to the ward, Qiao Zhilan let her drink some sugar water before taking a nap.

The moment he opened his eyes, he kissed her affectionately.

“You’re awake.”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyelashes fluttered. After he finished kissing her, she said slowly, “Baby…”

“Mom went to carry him.”

Within a few minutes, Qiao Zhilan came in with the baby.

Xu Qingzhi had already sat up. When she saw the small bundle in Qiao Zhilan’s arms, she leaned over impatiently and reached out to hug him.

Qiao Zhilan took a few quick steps and placed the kasaya carefully in her arms.

When Xu Qingzhi saw the little one sleeping soundly in her arms, her nose turned sour but her face was full of smiles.

She lowered her head and kissed the baby’s forehead gently. Her eyes were fixed on him and she couldn’t bear to blink.

Then, she looked up at Li Mo. Her eyes were red and sparkling, but the smile on her face remained.

“She really looks like you.”

Li Mo bent down and sat beside her. His gaze lingered on her for a while before his brows moved slightly.

“Are you sure?”

Xu Qingzhi paused.

The old lady and Lou Ruoyi chided him softly, “Your son doesn’t resemble you? You brat, you deserve a beating!”

Li Mo frowned even more and leaned closer to Xu Qingzhi. He took another look at the little one.

With a look of disdain, she said, “You’re indeed as ugly as your stomach.”
