After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1234 - 1233: Onset

"Little one, look how much you’ve tormented your mom while in her belly," Huo Shiqian gently said to Xia Chuyi’s belly. "Once you come out, you must listen to your mom and be a good child."

Magically, upon Huo Shiqian saying this, there was a slight movement from within Xia Chuyi’s belly.

Seeing this, Huo Shiqian couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips into a smile.

However, in the next second, Xia Chuyi let out a soft groan, and Huo Shiqian immediately furrowed his brow and said, "Little one, stop moving and let your mom have a good sleep."

Since becoming pregnant, especially as the months progressed, Xia Chuyi had hardly been able to get a full night’s sleep.

"If you disturb your mom, once you’re out, you’ll get a good spanking," Huo Shiqian said with great calm.

Immediately, Xia Chuyi’s belly went still.

Only then did Huo Shiqian nod in satisfaction.

His wife, due to prenatal depression, was constantly worried about the child’s health.

But Huo Shiqian, on the other hand, had no such worries at all.

He was highly convinced that not only was there no problem with his and Chuyi’s child’s health.

In fact, having used Medicinal Food to "enhance the brain" of the child, this little one would be unbelievably clever.

But, smart or not, it didn’t really matter.

No matter what, as long as it was his and Chuyi’s child, he would protect them for a lifetime.

"Good night, Chuyi." With that, Huo Shiqian gave Xia Chuyi another peck and then wrapped an arm around her from behind, closed his eyes, and went to sleep together.

A week before the due date, Xia Chuyi went straight into the hospital to wait for the birth.

As fate would have it, the child was very considerate, and just as Xia Chuyi moved into the hospital and everything was settled, the labor pains began.

"Ouch..." Xia Chuyi exclaimed in pain, clutching her belly.

"What’s wrong?" Huo Shiqian, standing by Xia Chuyi’s side, immediately asked with concern.

"I think...it’s time to give birth," Xia Chuyi took a deep breath and told her husband.

"You’re in labor?" Even as composed as Huo Shiqian was, he froze for a moment upon hearing his wife’s words.

"Doctor, doctor!" Snapping back to reality, Huo Shiqian immediately shouted, "My wife is going into labor!"

Upon hearing Huo Shiqian shout out, Mrs. Ou and the others naturally understood the situation.

"Wow, Chuyi is having the baby?" Second Young Master Ou was thrilled upon hearing Huo Shiqian’s words. "My niece is arriving, my niece is arriving!"

Ou Cong literally leapt into the air.

"Move aside, don’t block the way!" Ou ZhenTing extended a big hand, pushed his second son aside and pulled Mrs. Ou along to gather by Xia Chuyi’s side.

"Dad, you’re so rough..." Ou Cong couldn’t help but complain about his father.

Before he could finish speaking, his older brother grabbed and carried him away—because everyone from the Ou Family just so happened to be there due to handling the hospital admission.

"Hey, big brother..." Treated so rudely again by Ou Jun, Ou Cong had even more complaints, but this time, he didn’t even finish his sentence.

"Sorry, let me through!" Xiao Jingqi rushed over too, saying, "I want to check on Chuyi!"

Ou Cong: ...

Why?

Why does the best uncle in the world have to be treated like this by everyone?!

Of course, complaints aside, Ou Cong could only trail along behind and watch over Xia Chuyi’s situation.

"Chuyi, are you alright?" Ou ZhenTing asked anxiously, pushing his wife to the side of his daughter and saying, "Your mom has given birth to three children, she’s experienced. Listen to your mom!"
