Chapter 298: A Baby Boy or a Baby Girl

Mou Lili didn't have enough room where she was sitting, so she simply said, "Then sleep a bit further in."

Ling Feng lay down on one side, leaving half the bed empty for her.

Mou Lili then lay down, lying right next to him.

Ling Feng draped an arm over her waist, but she picked it up and tossed it aside as if it were trash.

Ling Feng then pressed his body close to hers, back against back, as if he felt more secure that way.

Mou Lili whispered a curse: "Coward."

Ling Feng said, "Don't say that. We're in a strange place right now, unfamiliar with the people and the surroundings. When you're uncomfortable, you just want someone to lean on. If you have any trouble in the future, I'll let you lean on me too."

"I'm not as delicate as you; don't curse me."

Ling Feng turned over again, then turned Mou Lili's body around to face him: "This is bad, I think I can't live without you, what should I do?"

Mou Lili looked at him, and the two stared at each other for a while.

Mou Lili said, "You've had too much to drink and aren't thinking clearly now; you should get some rest early."

Ling Feng said, "There aren't many girls who can make me feel this way; you're the second."

The first was Bai Shunan.

Mou Lili asked, "Then do you want to marry me?"

Ling Feng fell silent.

That was likely a bit difficult.

Mou Lili said indifferently, "You just want to play around with me, but I don't care whether you marry me or not."

After a long while, Ling Feng said, "I'll try... to work on it."

"No need. A toad like me can't eat swan meat like you. Besides, your attitude doesn't look like you really want to be with me; you're just looking for someone to fool around with when you're lonely."

Hearing this, Ling Feng felt an inexplicable surge of agitation.

He swore to himself that he wasn't that kind of person.

So he got up and took a shower.

When he came out, he saw that Mou Lili had already fallen asleep.

He lay down and pulled her close; she stirred, seemingly resistant, annoyed that he had disturbed her peaceful sleep.

However, he gently kissed the back of her ear.

Ling Feng had always been skilled in this area, with seasoned experience, knowing exactly how to make a girl feel good. After kissing for a while, Mou Lili understood, and her body couldn't help but lean toward him.

It was the kind of situation where she said no with her mouth, but her body was very honest.

The room provided small, paid boxes that would automatically charge upon use, and Ling Feng hooked one over with his long leg.

This time it was very satisfying, and Mou Lili suddenly felt that treating Ling Feng as someone to keep her warm temporarily wasn't bad at all.

Ling Feng had money, wasn't a bad person, was good in bed, generous with his spending, and especially handsome; she wouldn't be losing out regardless.

Besides, she didn't want to get married or have children herself.

She had seen too many negative marriages; once a woman is married, she either has to deal with mother-in-law issues or endless children and never-ending housework. Of course, the Han Family had nannies, so she wouldn't have to do chores, but wealthy families had their own rules, which might be even more miserable than marrying into an ordinary family.

Once Mou Lili thought it through, she felt at ease.

That night, they went at it three times, reaching the peak every time.

Strangely enough, even after doing the most intimate things the night before, they still acted as if nothing had happened during the day.

Ling Feng went to supervise the work, Mou Lili went to class, and they ate lunch at the village chief's house, acting perfectly normal, just like partners.

In the evening, Ling Feng returned to the guesthouse with her.

Perhaps because they were too tired from the night before, they both returned to their own rooms.

Only Xiong Ge, looking at the day's ledger and discovering four condoms missing from the room, understood everything.

Beishi.

That day, Bai Shuruo was walking in the Manor holding Xiaofeng's hand.

Xiaofeng was growing up to be increasingly poised and talkative; under the guidance of the family, she was full of anticipation for the baby in her mother's belly.

"Mommy, what is the baby's name?"

"Your name is Xiaofeng, so she will be called Xiaohuang."

"Is it a baby boy or a baby girl?" Xiaofeng asked.

In truth, with the Han Family's resources, it wouldn't be difficult to know the gender, but both Bai Shuruo and Han Yangting chose not to find out, just to have a surprise when the baby was born.

"What do you think?" Bai Shuruo asked.

There was a folk belief that if you let a young child point at a pregnant woman's belly, if the child said it was a boy, it was usually a boy, and if the child said it was a girl, it was a girl.

Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it's a little brother."

"Why is that?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"Grandma said that having a little brother means he will protect me in the future. Having a little sister means she will play with me, but I already have plenty of people to play with; I want someone to protect me."

Bai Shuruo said, "But Daddy and Mommy can protect you too."

"But when I grow up, you will be old. A little brother will protect me for my whole life."

"That's true." Bai Shuruo stroked Xiaofeng's hair and smiled: "Xiaofeng is very thoughtful."

Xiaofeng said, "Mommy, don't worry, when you grow old, the little brother and I will protect you together."

"Okay."

Bai Shuruo walked a few more steps and suddenly felt a warm current below, like the sensation of leaking urine.

No, it was impossible for her to leak urine; she was going into labor!

But Xiaofeng was still here, so she couldn't be nervous.

She hurried over to a chair to the side and sat down, then said to Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, Mommy has to go to the hospital in a little while. You wait for Mommy at home, and when Mommy comes back, you will be able to see the baby."

Xiaofeng was puzzled for a moment, but still nodded sensibly.

Only then did Bai Shuruo call Han Yangting: "Brother Han, my water has broken; I think I am going into labor."

Han Yangting had been at home these past few days, and he immediately said, "Ruoruo, don't worry. See if you can lie down; I will send a car over right away."

……

That night, Bai Shuruo was sent to a top-tier obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Beishi.

Over a dozen top gynecologists were on standby inside the hospital, and Han Yangting also put on a sterile gown to go in and accompany her during the delivery.

The doctor asked, "Mr. Han, would you prefer for your wife to have a natural birth or a cesarean section?"

Han Yangting said, "My wife and I have already discussed it. If a natural birth is possible, then do that; if not, then perform a cesarean. You handle it; in any case, you must ensure the safety of the mother."

"We understand."

Facts proved that although giving birth is a matter of life and death, Bai Shuruo gave birth very smoothly.

Since it was already her second child, she had experience and knew how to push, and with the epidural, the process was not particularly arduous.

Han Yangting stayed by her side the whole time, and seeing Bai Shuruo exerting herself, he cheered her on.

When he saw that little baby come out, he cried.

The smoothness was a medical smoothness, but in his eyes, his wife was suffering.

Therefore, when the baby came out, he did not immediately go to hold the baby, but instead gripped her hand tightly: "Ruoruo, you have worked hard."

Bai Shuruo no longer had any strength left, so she only smiled and nodded.

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat something."

That is the one good thing about a natural birth; there is no need to fast, and one can even eat high-calorie foods, especially chocolate cake.

Han Yangting hurriedly brought the chocolate cake over to feed her.

But after eating two bites, she lost her appetite again: "Go and see, is it a baby boy or a baby girl?"
