Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1491 - 1480: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother of an Old-School Romance Novel
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
This meal was meticulously prepared by Ye Qiu, leaving his future father-in-law and mother-in-law completely full. The Tan Family couldn’t comprehend how Ye Qiu, a rich second generation, developed such excellent cooking skills.
Ye Qiu explained with a smile, "When I was young, I lived with my grandmother in the countryside. She was busy with farm work, so I gradually learned to cook."
Although he made it sound simple, the Tan Family was still filled with compassion, not expecting that he had such a hard life growing up. Recalling how favored Ye Yanting was, they secretly decided to treat him better in the future.
"Have you talked to your grandmother and your parents about you two?" Mrs. Tan changed the subject.
"Not yet, but I plan to tell them in the next couple of days."
"It’s good to say it earlier. After all, both of you aren’t young anymore." Mrs. Tan’s implication was clear, having just acknowledged Ye Qiu and already thinking of pushing for marriage, as such an excellent son-in-law would be hard to find again.
"Auntie is right." Ye Qiu agreed, glancing at Tan Nana with a smile, making her feel even more embarrassed.
However, before Ye Qiu could say anything, a dispute between Gu Wanqin and Ye Yanting had already erupted earlier. Now, the whole family was at the hospital, and it was said that the Gu Family was very angry. Ren Zhen hoped Ye Qiu could mediate.
"Then you go first, be careful on the road."
"Alright." Ye Qiu kissed Tan Nana’s forehead, "I’ll be back soon."
He hurriedly drove to the hospital, finding the atmosphere better than he imagined. Upon closer look, it turned out that Mr. Gu had already vented his anger on Ye Yanting. His eye sockets and the corners of his mouth were a bit bruised, likely having been punched by Gu Wanqin’s father.
"Uncle, how is Wanqin now? What did the doctor say?"
"They said the baby was affected, and since she’s already so far along, it’s recommended to deliver early."
"A natural birth?"
"Yes."
Ye Qiu comforted, "Uncle, don’t worry. With advanced medical skills today, both mother and child will surely be fine."
"Hopefully!"
Seeing Mr. Gu not wanting to say more, Ye Qiu pulled Ye Yanting aside, "What’s going on with you two? How did it lead to Wanqin having an early labor?"
Ye Yanting looked disheartened and regretful, "I didn’t mean it. Work’s been bothering me lately, and she kept asking. I couldn’t help but snap back."
"She’s pregnant, how can you be so thoughtless? Pregnant women have unstable emotions. No matter how busy you are, you should still care for her," Ye Qiu chided softly.
"Brother, am I really that useless?" Ye Yanting held his head, "Why can’t I do anything right? I promised to make Wanqin happy, but I ended up hurting her."
"If you still have such feelings, there’s hope for you. After Wanqin gives birth, apologize sincerely and take good care of her. Women are weakest after childbirth, and you must meet her needs without complaint."
"I know, I’ll definitely take good care of her."
"And the child, get yourself together in this period. Learn how to feed and change the diapers, and do it well."
"But I don’t know how." Ye Yanting scratched his head.
"Who is born knowing this? Wanqin is also a new mother; she doesn’t know either. If you don’t know, learn. I’ll find a nurse for you; she can help with the baby, but even if someone helps, you also need to know how."
"Yes, thank you, brother."
"Also, Wanqin is Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s only daughter. It’s natural for them to blame you in their urgency. No matter how they hit you or show you a cold face today, don’t take it to heart."
"I know, this is all trouble I’ve caused."
Seeing Ye Yanting sincerely admitting his mistakes, Ye Qiu’s expression softened. The same went for Mr. Gu, who had been listening all the while, though he still felt unsatisfied. If the son-in-law were Ye Qiu, none of this would’ve happened. His daughter wouldn’t have to worry about anything, but she was stubborn and chose this unreliable one.
Soon, Gu Mother and Ren Zhen, who had gone out to buy maternity and baby products, returned, and they all waited together at the maternity ward’s door.
After about half an hour, a nurse came out holding a swaddled baby, "Congratulations, both mother and son are safe, and the baby is healthy, weighing five pounds six ounces."
Ye Qiu was relieved to see Ye Yanting not rushing to see the baby first but asking the nurse about Gu Wanqin’s condition: "How’s my wife? Why isn’t she out yet? How is she doing now?"
Perhaps not often seeing a husband so concerned about his wife, the nurse’s attitude was gentle, "The mother is still inside and needs some time before coming out. She’s not in danger, just a bit exhausted."
"Can I go in and see her now?"
"Not yet. Everyone must wait outside. Won’t you take a look at the baby?"
Knowing that Gu Wanqin was fine, everyone then focused on the newborn. The baby’s skin was wrinkled and red; from Ye Qiu’s perspective, it was hard to tell whom the baby resembled.
But Ren Zhen beamed, "Looking at the eyebrows, they’re exactly like Yanting’s when he was little."
Gu Mother added, "The mouth looks like Wanqin’s. Once he grows, he’ll surely be a handsome lad."
"Yanting, why are you dawdling? Come over and hold your son."
Though nervous, Ye Yanting slowly took the baby into his arms under everyone’s encouragement, feeling immense satisfaction once he did.
The newborn was still fragile, and Ye Yanting dared not move. It was winter, but he was sweating profusely.
"Has the baby been named? We need to register," the nurse asked.
"Not yet; let’s wait for the mom to come out and let her name him."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gu visibly relaxed, while Ren Zhen opened her mouth, pondering her son’s mistakes but ultimately remained silent.
Since the baby still needed to be examined, Ren Zhen went with the nurse, while Mr. and Mrs. Gu and Ye Yanting stayed to wait for Gu Wanqin. Soon, she came out safely, looking fairly well though slightly tired.
Ye Yanting was the first to grasp her hand, "I’m sorry for the hardship and pain I caused you. Our child is healthy, and I’ll control my temper better in the future."
Perhaps being too vulnerable post-childbirth, or feeling great with a healthy child, Gu Wanqin smiled and nodded.
"We’re all here, so don’t worry. Do you want to eat something or sleep first?"
"Sleep."
"Sleep is good. You’ll need the energy later to think about our child’s name."
"Didn’t you already name him?"
"I want to wait for you to come up with it."
"Isn’t it the same?"
"No, he’s been in your belly for so long, and you went through so much to give birth to him. Your contribution is bigger than mine, so I want you to give him a name."
"Alright." As she spoke, Gu Wanqin slowly closed her eyes, and everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
