Chapter 1529: She is giving birth
Three days later.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
In the morning, Beijing.
The sun was shining brightly, and it was hot.
Dong Xuebing, who had just woken up, walked out of the villa wearing only swim trunks, yawning and stretching lazily. He leisurely strolled to the backyard pool, did simple warm-up exercises, and dove into the clear water. After swimming a few laps, he didn't get out of the pool but instead sat on the steps beneath the water's surface, leaning back with his hands resting on the edge. He closed his eyes and basked in the sun, completely relaxed and content. It was pure enjoyment.
His home was indeed the best.
Living in the dormitory family quarters always felt awkward.
This villa near the Western Hills was bought by Dong Xuebing a long time ago. Although he later said it was a gift for his mother, who insisted on staying in Fenzhou, she refused and left it to Dong Xuebing to live in. With a view of the winding mountains in the distance, it was a suitable place to live, especially for retirement. Getting up in the morning, swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the mountain scenery was incredible. With Huilan about to give birth in a few days, living here was perfect for them to spend quality time together. Of course, they had to make the most of it.
One lap.
Two laps.
Three laps.
Dong Xuebing got tired from swimming and sat by the poolside, smoking a cigarette.
Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the window upstairs.
"Xiaobing."
"Hmm?"
"Where's my little husband?"
"I'm downstairs. What's up?"
"Where is my little husband?"
"Oh, I told you, I'm downstairs."
"Hehe, come up here."
"Okay, okay, I'm coming."
Dong Xuebing quickly extinguished his cigarette and rushed out of the pool. He didn't bother to dry himself and hurriedly ran into the villa and up the stairs.
Second floor.
Master bedroom.
As Dong Xuebing pushed the door open, he saw Xie Huilan leaning against the bedside, gently touching her big belly, her crescent-like eyes half-closed as she smiled at him. She didn't say anything, just lazily pointed toward the table. Dong Xuebing blinked. "You woke up so early, I thought you'd sleep a little longer. What are you pointing at?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Get me a glass of water, my dear."
Dong Xuebing almost fainted. "But it's right there next to you."
"I know it's there, so I'm pointing it out to you."
"Come on, you could have just reached out and gotten it yourself." Her logic defeated Dong Xuebing.
"I am in a delicate condition now, so I am precious. Hurry up and serve me." Xie Huilan said matter-of-factly, waving her hand again.
"Fine," Dong Xuebing surrendered. He hurried to pour her a glass of water and brought it to the bedside.
"Well, of course, hehe. This is the only time your sister Xie can make use of you. After I give birth, who knows where you'll run off to."
"Come on, even when you weren't pregnant, you still bossed me around."
Dong Xuebing felt like he wasn't just a subject but a servant. He helped his wife to the backyard to sunbathe, then took a fan and gently fanned her. Xie Huilan now resembled Empress Wu Zetian, incredibly precious.
"Is it comfortable?"
"Hmm, it's okay."
"Just okay? Look at how sweaty I am."
"It would be better if the wind were a bit stronger, hehe."
Dong Xuebing snorted inwardly, thinking, wait until you've given birth and finished your confinement. I'll show you who's in charge. Xie Huilan acted like Empress Wu, even at her grandmother's house.
At one o'clock in the afternoon.
Dong Xuebing's arms were sore from fanning her for two hours, and then he even brought over a parasol, so he was constantly busy.
"Okay, you can stop fanning now," Xie Huilan said.
Dong Xuebing sighed in relief, his arms aching. "Give me some space; I need to lie down for a bit, too."
Xie Huilan smiled. "Let's wait until after lunch. It's already past twelve, time for lunch."
Dong Xuebing protested, "Didn't we just have breakfast?"
"That was breakfast. Now I have a big appetite. I need to eat for two people. But lunch can be simple. How about you make two vegetable dishes for your sister Xie? Your cooking skills have been getting better lately. You deserve some praise. Go on, get started."
Dong Xuebing replied, speechless.
Xie Huilan glanced at him. "Fine, I'll do it myself."
Dong Xuebing relented. "Okay, I'll go."
Xie Huilan chuckled and lifted her chin. "My little husband is the best. Come here, let me kiss you."
Dong Xuebing reluctantly went over and kissed her, feeling sweet inside. "Rest for a while. Half an hour will do."
Back in the house, Dong Xuebing began to cook. He carefully chopped the vegetables, thinking, "The due date is still seven or eight days away. When will this ordeal end?"
Once the vegetables were ready, he was about to start cooking when he faintly heard some noise from outside. He paused and listened again, confirming that there was indeed some noise. Dong Xuebing immediately turned off the range hood, and the kitchen fell silent. Then, he heard Xie Huilan calling from the backyard.
"Xiaobing."
"Yeah, Huilan?"
"Come quickly."
Dong Xuebing's face changed instantly because he could hear the pain in his wife's voice. He knew something was wrong. Hastily abandoning the frying pan, he dashed outside and ran towards the backyard. In the next moment, he saw his wife under the parasol, gripping her stomach, having fallen off the lounge chair. She was in pain, calling out Dong Xuebing's name. Her lower body was wet, her pants soaked.
"What's wrong, Huilan, what's wrong?" Dong Xuebing exclaimed.
He rushed over, and Xie Huilan grabbed his wrist tightly, gritting her teeth. "My water broke. We need to go to the hospital."
Dong Xuebing panicked. "But isn't the due date still a week away?"
Xie Huilan couldn't speak anymore, apparently in great pain. Her nails dug into Dong Xuebing's flesh. "Hurry!"
Dong Xuebing was also anxious. He lifted his wife from the ground without thinking too much and quickly grabbed the car keys inside the villa. Driving towards the hospital, he shouted reassuring words to Xie Huilan. "Hang in there, Huilan. Everything will be fine. You and the baby will be fine."
