Wei Ruxia stayed at home for more than twenty days. While Luo Tang was at work, she also had things to attend to. Her father connected her with a senior stage director, who then introduced her to a film director. During this time, she was basically learning at the director’s home.
However, since the director had already retired, Wei Ruxia didn’t want to disturb him too much. She only spent the mornings learning a thing or two. As for lunchtime, she would go out with Luo Tang to have lunch and take a break. In the afternoons, she would either read books or watch movies in Luo Tang’s office. After he finished work, they would return home together.
Wei Ruxia didn’t consider herself a person with romantic inclinations, but her married life with Luo Tang was very sweet and far from dull.
After bidding farewell to the old director, Wei Ruxia was directly driven to Luo Tang’s office by the driver. Luo Tang had just finished a meeting when he heard the sound of the elevator. He stopped and glanced over. Seeing Wei Ruxia, Luo Tang smiled and walked over, taking her hand and leading her into his office.
After Luo Tang founded LO, he had lived alone for many years. He spent more time in his office than at home. His office area occupied two-thirds of the space, while the remaining one-third constituted a small-scale home. Although it was small-scale, it still spanned over 200 square meters, including a lounge, dining room, study, and even a gym.
Lunch was already prepared in the dining room, with dishes from both southern and northern cuisines. The two sat face to face, chatting about the events of the day.
“The teacher didn’t assign you any homework today?” Luo Tang poured a glass of water for Wei Ruxia and looked up at her, asking.
It was now early October, and Wei Ruxia was still wearing shorts and a T-shirt. She didn’t think much of it herself, but since she started directing, there was a newfound artistic and romantic quality about her, serene and graceful, full of flavor.
Tucking the stray strands of hair behind her ear, Wei Ruxia finished her meal. She took a sip of water and smiled at Luo Tang, nodding. “Hmm, I asked the teacher not to assign me any homework.”
Ever since she started studying at the director’s house, Wei Ruxia had been studying tirelessly, reminiscent of her determination back in high school. Today, she even volunteered not to have any homework assigned. Luo Tang raised an eyebrow slightly, giving a faint smile. “I don’t have much work in the afternoon either. Shall we rest together at noon?”
Luo Tang’s words were few but profound, carrying deep meaning.
Wei Ruxia choked on her water as she tried to drink. She coughed twice, her face turning red, whether from Luo Tang’s words or from being choked was unclear. She glanced at Luo Tang, who smiled and handed her a tissue, gently wiping away the water droplets from the corner of her lips with care.
With his current stern appearance, he hardly resembled someone who had just hinted at wanting to “mingle intimately” with her.
Wei Ruxia bit down on her water glass, her teeth lightly clashing against its hardness. Her face flushed once more, and she set the glass down, crossing her arms on the table as she looked at Luo Tang and said, “No rest. I have something to attend to in the afternoon.”
Receiving this response, a hint of unclear emotion flickered in Luo Tang’s eyes as he asked, “What for?”
“Yinyin’s due date is these few days, and she’s been hospitalized all along. I managed to take half a day off and want to go see her,” Wei Ruxia replied.
Hu Yinyin became pregnant in January of this year, and her due date was last week. However, she has already exceeded her due date by one week, and there’s been no movement from the baby. She’s extremely anxious at home. Two days ago, Han Junsong took her to the hospital for delivery.
Wei Ruxia is a carefree person with many friends, but the only one she truly confides in is Hu Yinyin. With Hu Yinyin overdue for delivery, Wei Ruxia is starting to feel a bit worried.
“That’s also a form of rest,” said Luo Tang. “You should take a nap. I’ll take you there in the afternoon.”
This time, the suggestion of rest held no other implications. Wei Ruxia pursed her lips, opened her arms, and smiled at Luo Tang, saying, “Then give me a hug.”
Luo Tang smiled and stood up, walking over. Wei Ruxia looped her arms around his neck, and with a slight effort from the man, she was lifted into his embrace. Laughing heartily, Wei Ruxia wrapped her arms around Luo Tang’s neck, rested her face against his hair, and gently took a sniff. It still carried the scent of the youth from ten years ago, reassuring and strong.
The two of them played for a while in the lounge before Luo Tang was called out by Don to attend to work. Wei Ruxia had a regular nap schedule, so with Luo Tang gone, she stayed in the lounge and soon drifted off to sleep.
After half an hour of rest, feeling refreshed, Wei Ruxia got up. Once Luo Tang finished his tasks, he escorted Wei Ruxia to the hospital.
Hu Yinyin was currently in the obstetrics and gynecology ward. Han Junsong, being a police officer, had a busy schedule, so currently, it was Han Junsong’s mother who was accompanying Hu Yinyin at the hospital.
Hu Yinyin’s situation was similar to Wei Ruxia’s, and Han Junsong’s mother, having watched Hu Yinyin grow up, treated her like her own daughter, taking excellent care of her, which was evident from Hu Yinyin’s physique.
When Wei Ruxia and Luo Tang arrived, Hu Yinyin was walking back and forth on the ground, as instructed by the doctor. When Wei Ruxia knocked on the door, Hu Yinyin turned around, saw Wei Ruxia, and exclaimed, “Oh!” She hurried over.
“You shouldn’t move so vigorously!” Wei Ruxia was startled seeing Hu Yinyin with her big belly and quickly rushed over.
Hu Yinyin was overjoyed when Wei Ruxia came over. She felt extremely bored in the hospital, despite her mother-in-law’s kindness. They didn’t have many topics to discuss, which made Hu Yinyin, who loved chatting, feel extremely bored.
Hu Yinyin smiled and held Wei Ruxia’s hand cheerfully. She greeted Wei Ruxia and Luo Tang, then said with a smile, “It’s okay, I used to be a flexible chubby girl, now I’m a flexible ball~”
Seeing Wei Ruxia and the others coming over, Mrs. Han hurriedly arranged seats for them. Wei Ruxia sat down, but after Luo Tang put down the things he had brought for Hu Yinyin, he left. There were still matters to attend to at the company, and he was only responsible for bringing Wei Ruxia here.
Wei Ruxia saw Luo Tang preparing to leave, so she went out to see him off. Luo Tang lifted his hand to tousle her hair gently, noticing her nose scrunching in response to the tickle. He smiled and asked, “When will you be done? I’ll come pick you up.”
“I’ll give you a call when I’m ready,” Wei Ruxia gestured as if making a phone call.
“Okay,” Luo Tang replied and turned to leave.
Watching Luo Tang depart, Wei Ruxia entered the hospital room. Han Junsong’s mother happened to have something to attend to and left the room. The two friends were now alone in the ward.
“This isn’t like going to some far-off place. Look at you two, so clingy. He escorts you here, you see him off,” Hu Yinyin teased with a smile.
Sitting in the seat that Han Junsong’s mother had just vacated, Wei Ruxia raised her eyebrows at her remark and replied with a smile, “It’s not like it’s one of those times when you and Han Junsong are showing affection in front of me.”
Mentioning Han Junsong, Hu Yinyin sighed briefly. She hmphed and said, “Now he’s not all clingy with me. Busy as a bee all day long, comes to see me late in the evening after work.”
Although it sounded like a complaint, there was still sweetness in her tone. Han Junsong, being a policeman, had a hectic schedule, but whenever he wasn’t occupied, he dedicated his time to accompany Hu Yinyin. Despite their constant bickering, they couldn’t be apart from each other, like a pair of quarrelsome yet inseparable lovers.
“Doesn’t he have paternity leave after you give birth?” Weixia asked.
Talking about giving birth, Huyinyin became anxious. She looked at her big belly, lightly patted it, and sighed, “He does, but it seems like I’m carrying Nezha. I’ve already gone over the due date by a week, and it still shows no sign of…”
Wei Ruxia laughed as she listened to Hu Yinyin’s complaints. But halfway through, Hu Yinyin suddenly stopped.
Wei Ruxia’s smile gradually froze, and she looked at Hu Yinyin with a sense of unease. Hu Yinyin felt a cool sensation on the sides of her thighs and looked at Wei Ruxia with an indescribable expression.
“Oh no, my water broke.”
“You lie down first!” Wei Ruxia immediately stood up from her seat, ran out of the ward, and shouted, “Doctor!”
Han Junsong answered Wei Ruxia’s call and rushed to the hospital. Watching Han Junsong hurry over, Hu Yinyin kicked him aside in pain as he stumbled around.
Hu Yinyin’s fair skin turned red when she was nervous or in pain. Seeing her in such discomfort, Han Junsong felt extremely distressed. He held her hand tightly, his voice filled with concern.
“Yinyin, Yinyin, how can we make the pain go away? Let’s not have any more after this one…”
“Who said we’re not… going to have… any more… I want to have… two… more… babies!” Hu Yinyin said angrily, giving Han Junsong another kick.
Han Junsong responded with a pained “Ouch,” completely abandoning his dignity as a police officer. Hu Yinyin was having a natural birth, and he could be with her in the delivery room. Hu Yinyin couldn’t bear the pain and was screaming, which made Han Junsong sweat profusely with worry.
Hu Yinyin’s “Nezha” stayed in her belly for an extra week, but fortunately, during labor, it didn’t give her too much trouble. Her cervix dilated quickly, and despite crying and cursing from the pain, she successfully gave birth to a daughter.
To be honest, the ordeal of Hu Yinyin’s childbirth was quite intense. With so many delivery rooms, she seemed to be the loudest in terms of yelling. Wei Ruxia, waiting outside, felt her heart clench with each scream.
However, after giving birth, Hu Yinyin felt a bit exhausted but otherwise fine. It was Han Junsong beside her who seemed worse for wear, his hands bruised and bitten, almost like a scene from domestic violence.
While the couple was caught up in the moment, Wei Ruxia accompanied the parents of both sides who arrived later to see the baby. The newborn, delivered naturally, had normal weight and all other bodily indicators, appearing healthy overall.
Wei Ruxia saw the newborn for the first time, wrinkled and with a pinkish complexion. She watched as the doctor weighed the baby and put on the identification bracelet before finally placing the infant in the crib.
The little one, cradled by her mother, had been crying since birth, with a cute, soft cry that melted Wei Ruxia’s heart.
Wei Ruxia spent a long time at the hospital, watching the newborn. It wasn’t until the end of the workday when Luo Tang picked her up to go home. On their way back, Wei Ruxia kept talking about the baby, and finally, Luo Tang pulled her into the bathroom and covered her mouth.
After everything settled down, Wei Ruxia’s legs felt weak. Luo Tang dried her hair, and then they both got into bed. They hadn’t been very careful with contraception that day. Wei Ruxia turned around, hugged Luo Tang, and said, “Babies are truly miraculous.”
Just now, Luo Tang and Wei Ruxia came once, and Wei Ruxia felt a bit tired, her voice soft and weak.
With her in his arms, Luo Tang also saw Hu Yinyin and Han Junsong’s child today. Although the couple still bickered, the happiness in their eyes was beyond words.
Luo Tang gently kissed Wei Ruxia’s hair, still warm from the blow dryer. He held her tightly and asked, “Why do you find it so amazing?”
Wei Ruxia couldn’t quite articulate her thoughts. She buried her head in contemplation, feeling somewhat drowsy, her consciousness becoming blurred.
“I used to often say that the only person I have blood ties with in this world is my father. But if I were to become pregnant, the child I give birth to would be another person with whom I share blood ties. Not only that…”
Wei Ruxia lifted her head, kissed Luo Tang on the lips while holding him, and smiled, saying, “It has the blood of both of us, bones connected by tendons. It’s impossible to detach.”
“Do you want it?” Luo Tang lowered his head and kissed her earlobe.
The woman in Luo Tang’s arms chuckled lightly, her eyes gazing at him with a misty allure, particularly captivating. Wei Ruxia possessed her own unique charm, languid and captivating…
“I’ve already mentioned it to this extent…” Wei Ruxia hadn’t finished her sentence when she felt the “hard candy”
She quickly withdrew from his embrace, chuckling softly, “I didn’t mean today.”
However, her words didn’t register with Luo Tang, who pressed her back into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her, his voice husky.
“Having a baby isn’t that easy; we might have to try a few times.”
