Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1357 - Ice cream

Chapter 1357: Ice cream

When the Lin family picked a daughter-in-law, her character was the most important. Everything else was secondary. In Lin Jingquan’s opinion, anyone who was filial would have a good personality.

“Alright, you don’t have to concern yourself with this matter. Since Nuan Nuan said that Xiao Chen is very special to Miss Jian, then we hope the two kids will end up together. But don’t get too involved, lest you end up making things worse.” Lin Jingquan reminded his wife.

“I got it. Come back early after the golf competition!”

That night, Liang Mulan had the best sleep because she was no longer worried about Lin Chen’s marriage. In her dreams, Lin Chen had gotten married to this Ms. Jian, and they had two kids in three years...

...

There were still three weeks and four days before Bai Xiaonian’s due date. Bai Xiaonian couldn’t resist sneaking downstairs for ice cream while Lu Jinnan was taking a shower.

When Lin Nuan heard Bai Xiaonian’s voice from downstairs, calling for someone, she hurriedly put on her sleeping robe and went downstairs.

Bai Xiaonian sat on the sofa and said to Lin Nuan with trembling legs, “I think... my water broke!”

“Lie down first!” Lin Nuan quickly put Bai Xiaonian down and laid a pillow on her buttocks.

Fu Huai’an also went downstairs. Upon hearing what happened, he asked the servants to call Lu Jinnan, then arranged for them to bring the hospital bag Lin Nuan had packed for Bai Xiaonian. He called Bai Jinyu and told him that Bai Xiaonian’s water had broken.

Bai Jinyu told him to send Bai Xiaonian to the hospital immediately. On the way there, he had to make Bai Xiaonian lie down and prop up her butt so that she wouldn’t lose more water.

When Lu Jinnan went downstairs with his walking stick, Bai Xiaonian cried the moment she saw him. “My water broke...”

“Why did you come downstairs while I was taking a shower?” Lu Jinnan’s tone wasn’t reproachful, but rather nervous.

“All of you don’t want me to eat ice cream, so I thought that since I’m about to give birth soon, I’d go downstairs and eat some ice cream. I didn’t think that the water would break before I even finished eating the ice cream!”

“I’ve already gotten someone to prepare the car.” Fu Huai’an put on his jacket and said to Lu Jinnan, “I’ll drive. You can sit in the front passenger seat and let Xiao Nuan sit in the back seat to take care of Bai Xiaonian. Let’s head to the hospital first. Bai Jinyu said we shouldn’t let her run out of the water before she gives birth. Just stay calm and send Bai Xiaonian to the hospital first.”

Lu Jinnan nodded. It wasn’t easy for him to take care of Bai Xiaonian in the back.

“Don’t tell my dad yet. I’m afraid this will only make him feel anxious! You can call my dad after the baby is born... also Lu Jinnan’s father! Don’t make the two elders worry!” Bai Xiaonian reminded them.

Lin Nuan nodded. “Don’t worry!”

On the way, Fu Huai’an drove very steadily. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Bai Jinyu received them and quickly arranged a VIP ward for Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian was admitted into the obstetrics department and given oxytocin to speed up the childbirth.

The next morning, Bai Xiaonian’s contractions intensified.

Those who had never had a child would never know how painful it was to have a child. Although Bai Xiaonian had heard from Lin Nuan that giving birth was painful, she hadn’t expected it to be so painful.

She kept shouting for anesthetics, but the doctor said that her heart wasn’t suitable for administering anesthetics. They had to wait a little longer, and if it didn’t work, they would have to begin the surgery.

Bai Xiaonian started to regret coming to the public hospital to give birth. If she had known earlier, she would have booked a private hospital. She wanted to give birth naturally. If she wanted to do a cesarean birth, she would have done so.

Bai Xiaonian, who couldn’t bear it any longer, shouted that she was going to a private hospital. Lu Jinnan couldn’t resist the urge to follow Bai Xiaonian’s wish. If it weren’t for Bai Jinyu stopping him, Lu Jinnan would have gone through with the transfer procedure.

Lu Jinnan finally understood why Fu Huai’an said that after Yuan Yuan, he wouldn’t let Lin Nuan deliver another baby.

Lu Jinnan started to beg Bai Jinyu to let Bai Xiaonia have a cesarean section. The doctor had said there was a possibility he might have to do a cesarean section in the end. Since that was the case, why should he let Bai Xiaonian suffer from the pain any longer?

Hence, Bai Jinyu went to look for the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Very quickly, Bai Xiaonian was sent to the operating theater. At 11:23 AM, what was even more surprising was that she had given birth to a daughter.

After the baby’s gender was revealed to be a boy, Bai Xiaonian felt regretful for a long time. She was stunned when she saw the child that the doctor brought her was a girl. It didn’t take her long before she felt elated from the realization that she had finally managed to bear a daughter as she wished.

When Bai Xiaonian and the child were sent out of the delivery room, Lu Jinnan’s eyes turned red. He walked over and kissed Bai Xiaonian again and again, choking with sobs.

“It’s a daughter. I’m afraid our nursery will be renovated again!” Bai Xiaonian said with a smile.

Lu Jinnan nodded, his voice hoarse. “Whatever you say!”

Even Lu Jinnan wasn’t in the mood to look at the baby daughter he was looking forward to seeing. When he saw the nurse pressing Bai Xiaonian’s stomach and seeing the color in Bai Xiaonian’s face drain after the anesthetics dissipated, Lu Jinnan really had no idea how to take the pain in Bai Xiaonian’s stead.

In the afternoon, Tang Zheng and the rest received news that Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian had given birth to a baby girl and were overjoyed.

They wanted to congratulate Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian in the afternoon but decided not to after further consideration. Bai Xiaonian had just given birth, and they didn’t want to disturb her. After calling Lu Jinnan to congratulate him, they told him they would visit them after Bai Xiaonian was discharged.

Lu Jinnan’s father and Bai Xiaonian’s father rushed to the hospital after finding out that Bai Xiaonian had given birth. Bai Xiaonian’s father heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, Lu Jinnan’s father went up and slapped Lu Jinnan’s back. “What’s the matter with you? Why didn’t you inform us about Xiaonian giving birth? You can really keep calm!”

“There are so many of us here. Xiaonian feels that you’d be anxious for nothing. What’s wrong with informing you after the baby is out?” Lu Jinnan said as he rubbed his back.

“Dad, don’t blame Jinnan. I was the one who asked Jinnan to inform you after I gave birth. I was afraid you’d be worried if you came earlier,” Bai Xiaonian said.

When Lu Jinnan’s father heard this, he immediately changed his tone. “Our Xiaonian is still sensible. She’s better than Lu Jinnan. However, how can you not inform your father and me about such a major matter with Xiaonian? How can we not be by your side at such an important moment?”

Bai Xiaonian’s father looked at his granddaughter and smiled until his eyes turned red. “Look at this little lass, she looks identical to you when you were just born. She’s so fair and tender, and her eyes are big.”

“Dad... the child’s nickname is ice cream,” Lu Jinnan said to Bai Xiaonian’s father.

“Ice cream? It sounds good... too good for summer ice cream! So good!” Bai Xiaonian’s father kept nodding.

The child’s nickname was ice cream because her birth was triggered by Bai Xiaonian secretly going downstairs to eat ice cream at night.

As for her real name, Lu Jinnan hadn’t thought of it yet.

Previously, he had been led to believe that it was a boy, so he had only thought of boy’s names. Now that it turned out to be a girl, he couldn’t use those names anymore. He had to find another name.
