Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1649: A Game Amidst the Tension

"What’s going on here?" Nangong Jin walked over and patted Di Mingjue, handing him a cigarette as he comforted him, "Don’t be too nervous, the doctor has repeatedly said there’s no problem. Stay calm, the baby will be out soon, this should be the beginning."

Hearing this, Di Mingjue nodded, although he didn’t speak.

Nangong Jin took out a lighter and lit Di Mingjue’s cigarette. Even though Di Mingjue didn’t usually smoke, he did this time because he was feeling quite anxious.

Di Mingzhe frowned and shot the two of them a glance, "If you’re going to smoke, go do it elsewhere. There are pregnant women around here."

Nangong Jin was startled and immediately apologized, pulling Di Mingjue with him to the smoking area.

Di Mingchen was also smoking and squeezed over with them.

The three of them squatted in the smoking area, while the others were chatting in front of the operating room, waiting.

Even in the smoking area, Di Mingjue was unable to stay calm, pacing back and forth anxiously.

His heart was filled with an uncontainable mix of excitement, anxiety, and tension.

"Old three, can you calm down for a moment?" Di Mingchen couldn’t help but speak up, "You’re pacing so much, you’re giving me a headache."

Di Mingjue shot him a glance before taking a deep drag of his cigarette, ignoring him, and continued pacing.

Di Mingchen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Nangong Jin stepped forward to comfort him again, "Come on, don’t be so nervous. The person is already in the operating room, she’ll be out soon. Just wait quietly."

"I can’t be quiet." Di Mingjue turned his gaze to Nangong Jin and Di Mingchen, speaking straightforwardly, "Now my baby is all alone in the operating room giving birth, no one can help her. They won’t let me go in to accompany her, and the thought of her being alone in there really tugs at my heart."

At his words, Nangong Jin fell silent, and so did Di Mingchen.

After a moment of silence, Di Mingchen said, "That’s life. Every life comes into being this way, which makes it all the more precious. It’s about risking one life to bring another into the world, which is truly great. I know you feel for your wife, old three, but the reality is that you can’t help with this. But seeing you this way makes us anxious too. The doctors have already assured you multiple times, so don’t worry so much."

"I’m not worried, I’m just feeling for her." Di Mingjue said each word emphatically around the cigarette.

Di Mingchen patted his shoulder, "I know, so just treat her double as well in the future, and it’ll be OK."

While Di Mingjue was still feeling nervous and concerned, a large group of people stood outside the operating room door. The atmosphere was excited and lively. After all, the three families had always been close, and a birth in any of the families naturally brought such excitement.

This was the first grandchild of their four major families, how could they not be thrilled and excited?

In all the excitement, everyone’s chatter filled the air, making the place quite lively. After all, Di Mingjue had booked the entire two floors, so there was no issue with noise. This was their domain.

In a burst of excitement, Nangong Ran shouted out, "Hey, hey, hey, how about we make a bet?"

Nangong Yue curiously asked, "How do we bet? On what?"

"Of course, on Xiaoqi’s baby. Two bets: first on one boy and one girl, with the boy coming out first and the girl later; second on either two boys or two girls. No time betting, how about it, are you in?"

"What happens to the wager?" Di Jinxuan couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s obviously for our little baby!" Nangong Ran replied.

"I’m in for that!" Di Jinxuan clapped her hands, "Count me in."

With that, the betting started. Fang Hao was the first to boldly bet ten million on one boy and one girl, with the boy coming out first.

Not to be outdone, Di Yan also bet ten million on one boy and one girl, but bet on the girl coming out first.
