Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1268: The Baby Is Born

Noticing the fine beads of sweat on Yuan Yikai’s forehead after he posed a question, Han Chunxue reassured him: "Don't work yourself into a state. If there's no sound, it just means Gu Qing instructed her to conserve her strength."

At that moment, Yuan Yikai’s aunt, Wang Xiaodan, stepped forward, pulling a handkerchief from her pocket. "You'd think you were the one giving birth with all that sweat. Hurry and wipe your face."

She then added in a low voice, "At this rate, you're trying to steal the spotlight from our Lingzi."

This single comment offered Yuan Yikai a small measure of relief from his anxiety.

Xinyan had initially intended to accompany Sun Zhenling into the delivery room, but her wishes were firmly denied by Sun Zhenling herself.

While she had considered having her cousin present, a quip she'd overheard from colleagues while at work came to mind.

After all, her cousin hadn't experienced childbirth yet; firstly, she might feel awkward, and secondly, Xinyan worried it might frighten her cousin, making her less sympathetic towards the process of giving birth.

Han Jingchen and the others returned to find that their niece had already been taken into the delivery room. They swiftly made their way to that area.

After getting an update on the situation, everyone settled in to wait outside in the corridor.

Just then, another expectant mother was brought into the delivery room.

The husband's family observed the throng of people waiting outside: "Wow, this delivery room is quite bustling today. How many mothers are inside right now?"

A flicker of concern crossed his face, wondering if his wife would have adequate space to deliver.

Upon learning that there was only one mother inside and the crowd comprised her entire family, he expressed his surprise: "Did your whole family come out for this? It appears this birth is quite significant to you all."

As he spoke, he mused internally: "They must be forfeiting quite a bit of wages by taking time off to wait here. Truly extravagant."

At that precise moment, a sharp cry of "Ah!" erupted from within the delivery room.

The sound jolted him back to the present. He urgently moved towards the delivery room door, calling out, "Don't be scared, my love, I'm right here outside!"

Yuan Yikai glanced at the man beside him, realizing this was an opportunity, and called out without hesitation: "Lingzi, don't be afraid."

Just as he finished speaking, the unmistakable sound of a newborn's cry echoed from inside the delivery room.

Yuan Yikai's face lit up with excitement: "She's given birth! Did you all hear that? She's given birth!"

The other man chimed in, "Brother, perhaps it was my wife who gave birth."

Yuan Yikai gave him a look: "My wife went in before yours."

The man peered through the door's gap, attempting to get a glimpse inside: "That doesn't guarantee the first one in gives birth first. My wife didn't even take half an hour in the delivery room last time before birthing."

Yuan Yikai turned to Han Chun for support: "Mom."

Before Han Chunxue could respond, the doors to the delivery room swung open: "Family of Sun Zhenling."

The entire family surged forward.

The nurse had yet to announce the baby's gender when the questions came: "Nurse, how is my daughter doing?"

"Nurse, how is my wife?"

Both questions were voiced at the exact same time.

The nurse chuckled, "Rest assured, Deputy Director Shen is currently cleaning the baby up. If there are no complications, she'll be out shortly."

Xinyan stepped forward, inquiring: "Is my little nephew a boy or a girl?"

It was then that everyone realized the baby was still in the nurse's arms.

The nurse handed the infant to the nearest person, Han Chunxue: "Mother and son are safe. The baby weighs six pounds and six ounces."

Han Chaohui quickly suggested: "Then let's give him the nickname 'Liu Liu'! It's both auspicious and memorable."

A wave of joy washed over everyone, and there was no dissent regarding the nickname. Thus, the little one acquired his moniker immediately upon exiting the delivery room.
