Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but scrutinize Mu Huajian from head to toe!

This was the first time she had met this old man. Although it was their first meeting, she couldn’t help but sense a familiar feeling in him!

What kind of feeling was it?

Right...! It was the same feeling as with Mu Beiting! A stern face, rarely smiling, exuding an intimidating aura of royalty from the inside out!

And upon closer inspection, he did bear a slight resemblance to Mu Beiting in the eyebrows and eyes!

Who was he?

Ling Yueyue furrowed her brows in confusion!

Seeing Ling Yueyue staring at Mu Huajian like that, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but knock her on the head, "What are you looking at? This is Beiting’s biological father, hurry up and call him Uncle!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Upon hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise. Realizing that she had been rudely staring at an elder just now, her face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly bowed her head to apologize, "Ah...! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were Mu Beiting’s father, I’m sorry, Uncle!"

Mu Huajian smiled gently, "It’s alright, it’s alright! It’s normal not to know during a first meeting! It’s no big deal!"

Seeing Mu Huajian’s friendly attitude, Ling Yueyue was truly stunned!

Because although she had never met Mu Huajian, she had heard from Ye Anxin a long time ago that he was a difficult old man!

When Ye Anxin and Mu Rufeng were a couple, she had said that this old man was very serious, always solemn, and would only lightly respond whenever you tried to speak with him or improve your relationship.

Later, after marrying Mu Beiting, the old man’s attitude toward her was even worse!

Ever since hearing Ye Anxin’s words, she had always assumed that Mu Beiting’s father was a serious, rigid, and hard-to-get-along-with old man!

She hadn’t expected that Mu Huajian was completely different from what she had imagined! Although he looked serious, he was quite gentle!

What surprised her the most was that Mu Beiting had always had a bad relationship with his father, almost to the point of never seeing each other again! Did the sun rise from the west today? The two of them were actually sitting together?

However, despite her surprise and confusion, Ling Yueyue did not foolishly ask out loud but hid it behind her usual smile!

Gazing at the tightly closed door of the delivery room, Xiao Bai asked anxiously, "Auntie Yueyue, when do you think my mom will come out? She’ll be alright, won’t she?"

Although he had comforted his father earlier, he was more afraid than anyone else! He had been silently praying in his heart, hoping his mother would come out safely!

Ling Yueyue patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder and reassured, "Don’t worry! Childbirth for women is like hens laying eggs! I almost died from a difficult labor when I was giving birth to our Tiantian! But didn’t I pull through in the end? Besides, Ye Anxin has been exercising during her pregnancy, and exercising is good for childbirth! So, it’s okay! Let’s just be patient and wait!"

"Yes! Mom will definitely be alright and will come out safely!" Xiao Bai nodded, repeatedly reassuring himself in his heart!

Thus, the five of them sat quietly outside the delivery room, waiting!

About two hours later, the quiet corridor was once again filled with the sound of hurried footsteps!

Everyone turned their eyes to the person coming!

They saw Pete pulling a woman in her forties, anxiously running toward them!

Upon seeing Mu Beiting, they finally stopped, gasping for breath, and said, "President, the nanny is here! I personally went to her home to bring her over! Because the nanny’s home is quite far, it took some time!"

Xiao Bai spoke on behalf of Mu Beiting, "Uncle Pete, my mom hasn’t come out yet! So it’s not a problem!"

Pete glanced at the tightly closed delivery room door and asked with concern, "Is the lady alright? Did the doctor say when she might come out?"

Ling Yueyue replied carelessly, "Even the doctor doesn’t know when the child will be born! So, we just need to patiently wait outside! Once the child is born, they will naturally bring them out to us!"

"Oh!" Pete nodded, turned, and spoke quietly to the nanny, then sat together on the chairs outside the delivery room to wait.

Time ticked away, and before they knew it, it was already past eleven at night! But there was still not a sound from the delivery room!

Mu Beiting’s patience was also wearing thin as time passed!

To ease the tense atmosphere, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but speak, "Mu Beiting, have you picked a name for the child yet?"

Mu Beiting just glanced at her indifferently, pursing his lips without speaking.

"It’s almost midnight! I think instead of racking our brains for a name, we should just call them "Chu Yi"! Being born on the first day of the New Year, it’s such a meaningful name, and I think it sounds nice too!" Saying this, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

With her laughter, everyone’s gaze shifted to her, staring at her with eyes so calm they seemed dead still!

"Ahem...!" Ling Yueyue chuckled twice, immediately realizing something was wrong, and seeing everyone quietly staring at her as if they’d just heard a cold joke, she couldn’t help but blush and cough lightly, apologizing, "I was just trying to lighten you up since you seemed tense! If it wasn’t funny, just pretend I didn’t say anything!"

Huo Junmo shook with silent laughter, gently patting her head in solace!

The corridor once again fell into a death-like silence! Almost everyone could vaguely hear the heart-wrenching screams coming from the delivery room!

Hearing the cries of agony one after another, Mu Beiting couldn’t sit still any longer, getting up to pace back and forth outside the delivery room!

Just as Mu Beiting’s patience was about to run out, the clock slowly ticked away!

The entire city seemed to be counting down...

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...

At the stroke of midnight, the loud wailing of a baby rang from the delivery room!

Hearing the cry, Ling Yueyue jumped up from the chair in excitement, "Born, born, finally born...! Exactly twelve o’clock... It’s been refusing to come out, turns out it wanted to wait for this moment! This child will definitely be promising in the future!"

Hearing the baby’s cry, Xiao Bai couldn’t contain his excitement, clutching Mu Beiting’s trembling hand, incredulously saying, "Dad, Mom gave birth, did she? That’s my brother or sister’s cry, right?"

At the sound of the baby’s cry, Mu Beiting stood as if rooted to the spot, staring motionless at the delivery room, his body trembling slightly with excitement!
