Chapter 472 A Son and a Daughter
Liu Yan, supported by Zhang Xinyu, arrived at the door of Yang Rong's ward.
"Yan Yan, what brings you here?"
Fu Yibai quickly brought her a chair.
Liu Yan sat down beside the crib and looked down at the little one in the swaddling clothes.
Her belly was already quite large, and bending over was very difficult, but she still tried her best to get closer to see.
"It's so small."
Her voice held a soft surprise.
"Why is it so small?"
"Six catties and three ounces is not small," said Liu's mother from the side.
Liu Yan reached out and very gently touched the baby's clenched fist.
"Rongrong, you've worked hard."
Liu Yan withdrew her hand and looked up at Yang Rong on the hospital bed.
Yang Rong was still asleep, and a faint smile played on her lips as she dreamt of something.
After daybreak, the news spread.
Fan Binbin was the first in the harem group to receive the message.
When Zhang Xinyu posted the baby's photo in the group chat at six in the morning, Fan Binbin immediately replied with a row of crying emojis and hearts, and then sent three red envelopes, each with the message "For our daughter".
Yang Mi saw the message at 7:00 AM and immediately made a video call.
After hearing the news, other women also called one after another.
Some are even preparing to fly back to see their children.
Yang Rong woke up at 11 a.m.
She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Fu Yibai sitting by the bed.
He leaned back in his chair, head tilted to one side, fast asleep. A layer of bluish stubble appeared on his chin, and the shirt he was wearing was the same one from yesterday, all wrinkled and crumpled.
Yang Rong did not wake him.
She turned her head and looked at the crib next to her.
The little one was still asleep, with his two little hands raised next to his ears and his lips slightly pursed, as if he were nursing in his dream.
Yang Rong looked at that small outline, and her eyes reddened again.
At 2 PM, Fan Binbin flew back from Shenzhen.
Dragging her suitcase, she rushed into the ward and stood there silently for a full ten seconds after seeing the little one in the crib.
Then she pushed her suitcase to the corner, squatted down next to the crib, rested her chin on the edge of the bed, and watched for more than an hour.
"Sister Binbin, aren't your legs numb?"
Liu Yan came over from next door, sat down on the chair next to her, and asked.
"numb.
I don't want to move.
Qin Lan returned from Shanghai at six o'clock in the evening.
When she pushed open the door, she was carrying two large bags. One bag contained baby clothes, and the other contained imported postpartum recovery supplements.
She put her things down, hugged Yang Rong first, and then squatted down next to Fan Binbin by the crib, the two of them looking like two big cats guarding their cubs.
Four days later, on the evening of July 20, Liu Yan's contractions began.
This time, Fu Yibai was experienced. He held Liu Yan's hand and accompanied her into the delivery room.
Liu Yan wasn't as tolerant as Yang Rong; when the pain came, tears streamed down her face.
At 9:12 p.m., Liu Yan gave birth to a boy weighing 7 pounds and 1 ounce.
Congratulations, it's a healthy boy.
Director Zhou lifted the newborn up. The little one's voice was even louder than his sister's, and his cries almost lifted the ceiling of the delivery room.
Fu Yibai stared blankly for a moment at the little thing who was clenching its fists and crying with its face red.
Liu Yan laughed through her tears.
Her face was glistening with sweat, strands of hair clung to her forehead, tears and sweat mingling together.
"Bring it here so I can see it."
Her voice was so hoarse it was almost cracking.
The nurse placed the cleaned newborn in her arms.
The baby's cries stopped the moment it touched its mother's body temperature, as if a switch had been turned off.
His eyes were closed, and his little mouth was moving in and out, instinctively searching for something.
"He looks like you."
Looking at the child's face, Liu Yan said, both crying and laughing.
"Just like you."
Fu Yibai walked out of the delivery room, and Li Hui and Liu's mother stood up at the same time.
"Mother and baby are safe and sound, weighing 7.1 pounds."
Yang Rong heard the noise in the next ward.
She leaned against the headboard, holding her daughter who had just been breastfed in her arms. When she heard Zhang Xinyu run in to announce the good news, the corners of her mouth slowly widened into a smile.
"Little one, you have a little brother now."
She looked down at her daughter in her arms and gently scratched her little nose with her finger.
The baby yawned and closed its eyes sleepily.
After Liu Yan was wheeled back to her ward, Yang Rong asked Fu Yibai to push her own hospital bed over there.
The two lay side by side on their respective hospital beds, separated by a narrow aisle.
Liu Yan turned her head to look at Yang Rong, and Yang Rong also turned her head to look at her.
"Does it hurt?" Yang Rong asked.
"It hurts so much!"
Liu Yan's voice was still very weak.
"It hurt a hundred times more than filming action scenes."
"Me too."
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Liu's mother and Yang's mother stood at the door of the ward, watching this scene.
The two mothers exchanged a glance, then each turned their heads away.
On July 25, Yang Rong and Liu Yan were discharged from the hospital.
At the hospital, Director Zhou convened a short meeting on the day the two were discharged, bringing together all the medical staff who had participated in their prenatal checkups and delivery.
The meeting had only one objective: confidentiality.
"Mr. Fu and the two ladies' privacy is top secret."
No one may disclose this information to anyone under any circumstances, including your family, friends, and colleagues from other departments.
You all know the consequences of violating the confidentiality agreement.
No one is unaware of the consequences.
The penalty clause in that confidentiality agreement was enough to bankrupt any middle-class family.
