When picking a daughter-in-law for the Lin family, one's character was the most important. In Lin Jingquan's opinion, anyone who was filial wouldn't have a bad character.
"Alright, don't get too carried away with this matter. Since Nuan Nuan said that Xiao Chen is very special to this Miss Yiling, then we hope that the two children will have a good ending. However, don't get too involved, lest it backfires," Lin Jingquan warned his wife.
"I got it. Come back early after the golf match!"
That night, it was the best night Liang Mulan had slept since she started arranging for Lin Chen's marriage. Her dreams were of Lin Chen marrying Miss Yiling and having two children in three years …
Three weeks and four days before Bai Xiaonian's due date, Bai Xiaonian couldn't resist sneaking ice cream downstairs while Lu Jinnan was showering …
Lin Nuan heard Bai Xiaonian shouting downstairs, so she quickly put on her sleeping robe and went downstairs.
Bai Xiaonian sat on the sofa, her legs trembling as she said to Lin Nuan, "My water seems to have broken …"
"Lie down first!" Lin Nuan quickly laid Bai Xiaonian down and put a pillow under her butt.
Fu Huai 'an also went downstairs. When he heard this, he asked a servant to call Lu Jinnan and arranged for someone to bring the delivery bag Lin Nuan had prepared. He called Bai Jinyu and told him that Bai Xiaonian's water had broken.
Bai Jinyu told them to send Bai Xiaonian to the hospital immediately. On the way there, they had to make sure Bai Xiaonian lay down and prop up her butt to prevent the amniotic fluid from leaking out.
When Lu Jinnan went downstairs with his walking stick, Bai Xiaonian cried when she saw him. "My water broke!"
"Why did you come downstairs while I was showering?" Lu Jinnan's tone wasn't one of reproach but one of nervousness.
"None of you let me eat ice cream, so I thought that since I'm about to give birth, I might as well come downstairs to secretly eat some ice cream. I didn't expect my water to break before I finished eating the ice cream!"
"I've already asked someone to prepare the car." Fu Huai 'an put on his jacket and said to Lu Jinnan, "I'll drive. You sit in the front passenger seat and let Xiao Nuan sit in the back to take care of Bai Xiaonian. Let's go to the hospital first. Bai Jinyu said that it's possible to break water before giving birth. Just stay calm and send Bai Xiaonian to the hospital."
Lu Jinnan nodded. It wasn't easy for him to move around now, so it wasn't easy for him to take care of Bai Xiaonian in the back.
"Don't tell my dad yet. I'm afraid he'll find out that it's hard for me to give birth. Wait until the baby is born before calling my dad and Lu Jinnan's dad. Don't let the two elders worry!" Bai Xiaonian instructed.
Lin Nuan nodded. "Don't worry!"
Along the way, Fu Huai 'an drove steadily. After sending Bai Xiaonian to the hospital, because Bai Jinyu had already informed him, Bai Xiaonian was quickly sent to the VIP room.
In the ward.
After monitoring Bai Xiaonian's heart rate, she was injected with oxytocin.
The next morning, Bai Xiaonian's contractions became more intense.
Those who had never given birth would never know how painful it was to give birth. Although Bai Xiaonian had previously heard from Lin Nuan that giving birth was painful, she didn't expect it to be this painful.
She kept asking for painless surgery, but the doctor said that her fetal heart was not up to standard, so she couldn't do painless surgery. If it didn't work, they would have to wait for an operation.
Bai Xiaonian started to regret coming to a public hospital to give birth. If she had known earlier, she would have booked a private hospital. She wanted to give birth naturally and have a C-section if she wanted to.
Bai Xiaonian, who couldn't take it anymore, kept asking to go to a private hospital. Lu Jinnan couldn't take it anymore and had the thought of transferring Bai Xiaonian to another hospital. If it weren't for Bai Jinyu stopping him, Lu Jinnan would have already transferred her to another hospital.
Lu Jinnan finally understood why Fu Huai 'an said that he wouldn't let Lin Nuan give birth after Yuan Yuan.
Lu Jinnan started to beg Bai Jinyu to let him have a C-section. After all, the doctor said that he might have to have a C-section in the end. Since that was the case, why should he let Bai Xiaonian suffer the pain of giving birth naturally?
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, to everyone's surprise, she gave birth to a daughter.
The last time she saw the baby, it was a boy. Bai Xiaonian felt regretful for a long time. Hence, when the baby was born and the doctor carried it to Bai Xiaonian, Bai Xiaonian was stunned. Then, she was overjoyed. She finally got her wish of giving birth to a daughter.
When Bai Xiaonian and the baby were sent out of the delivery room, Lu Jinnan's eyes reddened. He walked over and kissed Bai Xiaonian, choking up and unable to speak.
"It's a daughter. I'm afraid our nursery will have to be renovated!" Bai Xiaonian said with a smile.
Lu Jinnan nodded, his voice extremely hoarse. "Whatever you say!"
Lu Jinnan wasn't even in the mood to see the birth of his precious daughter, whom he had been looking forward to the most. Seeing the nurse come over to press on Bai Xiaonian's stomach, seeing Bai Xiaonian's face turn pale after the anesthetic wore off, Lu Jinnan really didn't know what to do in place of Bai Xiaonian's pain.
In the afternoon, Tang Zheng and the rest received news that Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian had a daughter.
They were supposed to congratulate Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian in the afternoon, but considering that Bai Xiaonian had just given birth, they didn't go over to disturb them. After calling Lu Jinnan to congratulate him, they decided to visit Bai Xiaonian after she was discharged from the hospital.
When Lu Jinnan's father and Bai Xiaonian's father rushed to the hospital and found out that Bai Xiaonian had already given birth, Bai Xiaonian's father heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, Lu Jinnan's father went up to Lu Jinnan and patted him. "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you inform us that Xiaonian is giving birth? You're really patient!"
"There are so many of us here. Xiaonian feels that you're worrying for nothing. Why don't we inform you after she gives birth?" 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 didn't want you to worry when you came," Bai Xiaonian said.
When Lu Jinnan's father heard this, he immediately changed his tone. "Our Xiaonian is still the most sensible. She's better than Lu Jinnan! But how could Xiaonian not inform me and your dad about such an important matter? How can you not have us by your side at such an important moment?"
Bai Xiaonian's father looked at his granddaughter, his eyes reddening from smiling. "Look at this little girl. She looks exactly the same as when Xiaonian was 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 sounds nice too! Ice cream in the summer. It's really, really good!" Bai Xiaonian's father couldn't help but nod.
The reason why he named the child Ice Cream was because the child was triggered when Bai Xiaonian sneaked downstairs to eat ice cream at night. That was why the child was named Ice Cream.
As for the child's name, Lu Jinnan hadn't thought of it yet.
Previously, he thought it was a boy, so he gave her a boy's name. Now that it was a girl, he couldn't use those names anymore. He had to give her a new name.
