Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1572 - 1466: Childbirth

Song Yun took off his clothes and then sat next to Qingluan, saying, "What are you looking at?"

"Big Breasts and Wide Hips," Qingluan replied with a smile.

"Big Breasts and Wide Hips, what kind of book is that? It’s not the same as Jin Ping Mei, is it?" Song Yun asked with a laugh.

"Mo Yan wrote it," Qingluan said.

"Mo Yan, you mean the one who won the Nobel Prize in Literature?" Song Yun asked in surprise.

"Yeah!"

"Turns out that old guy even wrote about the Royal Uncle," Song Yun remarked, "Someday, I’ll write something too, haha!"

"Your joke isn’t funny," Qingluan said, "Mo Yan is a writer I really like, Big Breasts and Wide Hips is a really good book, you should read it!"

"I’ll check it out when I get the chance. I’m going to sleep, Qingluan, want to join me?" Song Yun said shyly.

"Hmm, sure!"

Qingluan put the book aside, then turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

Song Yun hesitated for a moment, then quietly reached out his hand, half-hugging Qingluan’s waist.

Of course, this wasn’t Song Yun trying to take advantage of her; it was just an affectionate gesture from him.

Qingluan smiled softly, turned to face Song Yun, and gently wrapped her hand around his.

It was merely an affectionate gesture, but it gave Song Yun a very warm feeling.

Usually, when encountering such a rare warm moment, if Song Yun was sleeping with a woman like this, it often would lead to both not wearing any clothes, but today, Song Yun had no other thoughts, just to sleep and enjoy this rare warm moment.

Time slowly moved forward.

Song Yun returned to the Song Family without any urgent matters; the next day, Song Yun went to meet with the elite members of the Su Nan Xiu Luo Alliance who had come to Beijing.

After Black Flood Dragon had arranged for those three hundred elite members, Song Yun didn’t ask much more. Most of the remaining time, Song Yun spent with Li Shishi.

And of course, also with his father-in-law Li Shanghe and mother-in-law Ye Rou.

On the third day.

This was the third day since Song Yun returned to the Song Family.

It was also Li Shishi’s due date.

Early in the morning, Li Shishi was taken to a special room in the Song Family’s house, prepared just for her to give birth, and the entire Song Family quickly began its operations, all for Li Shishi and the first child of the Song Family’s fifth generation.

Outside the room specifically prepared for Shishi.

A crowd had already gathered.

These people were all from the Song Family, and over the years, various branches had accumulated a significant number of people, including some who had many wives. Like Song Yun, the number of children is even greater.

All of them stood silently in the large courtyard outside the room, some looking anxious, others excited, and some were praying with their eyes closed.

No matter how the relationships between these people and the main branch or with Song Yun usually were, in this moment, many people’s hearts had only one hope, which was for the arrival of the Song Family’s fifth generation’s main branch.

Song Meifeng, Song Mei Qin, Song Dong, and Song Chun, the heads of the four branches, sat in a hall next to the room. They were among the few who had seats, along with Li Shanghe and Song Ergou.

Ye Qingsi, Ye Rou, and Song Yun were all in the delivery room with Li Shishi, and besides the three, Qingluan was also there, silently standing at the side, watching the woman lying on the bed with a calm expression.

Although Qingluan appeared very composed, her spirit was already on high alert.

She had to prevent any sudden incidents, such as a sudden assassination attempt by hostile forces.

Childbirth is a very critical matter, one wrong step could lead to severe consequences, as seen in many fantasy novels where super mythical beasts are often ambushed by enemies during childbirth because they’re weaker, leading to sneak attacks by foes. But the enemies usually end up badly injured, and then the protagonist springs up, kills the bad guys, and protects the beast’s baby, resulting in the mythical beast gratefully giving its baby to the protagonist.

Even though plots like these are clichéd, they tell us that during childbirth, we must be very careful.

Li Shishi’s expression remained very calm, showing no signs of pre-birth anxiety. Song Yun sat by her side, holding her hand, talking with her from time to time, while Ye Qingsi and Ye Rou stood nearby, watching Li Shishi and Song Yun.

The doctors and nurses had already prepared everything, including blood supplies. This time, the Song Family invested at least tens of millions just to minimize the risks of Li Shishi’s childbirth.

At this moment, in the hall outside the room.

"This whole childbirth setup is quite something," Song Mei Qin remarked with a slightly mocking tone on her face, "People who don’t know might think Qingsi is having a baby again!"

"This is the first child of our main branch’s fifth generation." Song Ergou said proudly, "Their status is naturally noble!"

"Just your main branch is impressive, just your main branch is noble, enough already. When I had Kunlun back then, there wasn’t such a big fuss. We just went to the hospital for the birth, unlike now, with layers of protection. Frankly, I think childbirth should occur naturally. With all this, something could go wrong, and it could lead to a difficult labor," Song Mei Qin said.

"Too bad you didn’t have a difficult labor back then," Song Ergou sneered, "If you did, our Song Family would have fewer troubles now!"

"What did you say!"

Song Mei Qin glared, "What kind of attitude is that? I’m your aunt!"

"Since you’re my aunt, you should have the mindset of one. Stop talking nonsense; I’ve never seen an aunt who makes such sarcastic remarks at a time like this." Song Ergou retorted disdainfully.

"You two stop it!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Song Meifeng urged, "Shishi is inside preparing for childbirth, let’s wait patiently. Meiqin, Shishi is giving birth to the first child of our main branch’s fifth generation, it’s naturally of utmost importance. Don’t say those things, it ruins the harmony!"

"Hmph!"

Song Mei Qin snorted, saying nothing more.

Time moved forward bit by bit.

At some point, the initially clear sky suddenly gathered clouds.

The speed at which the clouds gathered was astonishingly fast, and in no time, the sky was covered.

The wind also started blowing.
