Chapter 1198: Chapter 1199: The End of the Li Huo Arc (7)

Following her gaze, Huo Yishan also turned her head. When she caught a glimpse of the mother and son exchanging smiles, she instantly realized the truth!

“You tricked me?” She raised her hand, pointing at the man in front of her, with a face full of dissatisfaction.

Li Yuan chuckled and was about to explain when Xia Ximeng spoke up.

“It’s naughty Yuanyuan, it was me who told him not to say anything.”

“Mom, I haven’t even married him yet, and you’re already siding with him against me!” As she spoke, Huo Yishan deliberately pouted, pretending to be very wronged.

This frightened Xia Ximeng. “This is not bullying. If you feel this is bullying, then in the future, we’ll bully Yuanyuan together. No matter what happens, Mom will always stand on your side!”

“Really?”

“Of course! Not just me, your father also stands on your side!” Saying this, Xia Ximeng quickly turned her head to her husband beside her, “Right?”

Li Xiangyang immediately spoke, “That’s right, the three of us are on the same side; if you face any grievance, your mom and I will stand up for you and properly teach this rotten kid a lesson.”

Huo Yishan also broke into a smile, as if the emotional barrier she had before dissipated entirely because of today’s reunion.

“With such strong support, it would be hard for me not to marry him.” She pouted and smiled as she spoke to the pair.

In an instant, the once quiet living room was filled with laughter and joy today.

…

In the blink of an eye, a month silently slipped by.

Hospital.

In the quiet corridor, a group of people was pacing back and forth anxiously, occasionally glancing at the operating room, unsure of what was happening inside.

Gu Qiangwei also occasionally checked her watch, seeing the minute hand move from 6:10 in the morning until 10:20 a.m.

When she gave birth to Xiaoqin and Little Duke, it was a cesarean section, so she was out in an hour or two.

But now, Huo Yishan had been in there for over four hours, yet there was still no sign of movement.

In the corridor, Shu Yulan, Huo Shi’en, along with Xia Ximeng and Li Xiangyang all looked anxious, watching the tightly closed surgical doors that showed no signs of opening.

“Why is it taking so long, has she given birth or not…” Shu Yulan felt panicked, unable to sit still.

Beside her, Huo Shi’en couldn’t help but reach out and hold her shoulder to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

“But she’s been in there for more than four hours!” Shu Yulan was terribly anxious!

“It’s only four hours, remember when you were giving birth to Shanshan, it was from the early morning all the way until the next evening, remember?” At that time, he too was outside the delivery room, so anxious that his heart was pounding non-stop, unable to calm down.

With his words, Shu Yulan was left speechless, recalling that indeed, when she gave birth to Huo Yishan, it took even longer than this time.

Staring fixedly at the tightly closed doors, Xia Ximeng also nervously clenched her hands, filled with apprehension.

Inside the operating room.

Huo Yishan was dripping with sweat, experiencing the pain of childbirth for the first time, a pain that cut to the core, like it wanted to tear her body apart!

“I… I don’t want to do this, Li Yuan… I don’t want to do this anymore, sob…”

Seeing her in pain, Li Yuan stood beside her, his heart aching with the urge for her to stop, to not go through with it anymore!

But he knew, this was impossible!

“Come on, push a little harder, we can already see the baby’s hair, just one last effort!” The attending Doctor shouted beside her, cheering Huo Yishan on!

Exhausted, lying on the delivery bed, Huo Yishan felt a pain like her body was being torn apart, she couldn’t even feel where the pain was coming from anymore.
