Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1383 - 1432 The 4th child is born

It’s not quite the same as when Su Mengxin and Ye Yunzhu were having their babies. Xiao Ling’er is a bit younger, and although she’s seen her sisters give birth, she’s still extremely nervous. She woke up in the morning and found a mess below her. She was completely shocked, but fortunately, the nanny immediately called the doctor. At that moment, she wished Li Yifei were by her side so badly, but she had been waiting for a long time.

Li Yifei pushed the stroller, held Xiao Ling’er’s hand, and replied, "How could I not be with you when you’re giving birth? Alright, don’t talk for now. Let’s head to the hospital first."

After bringing Xiao Ling’er to the hospital and settling her into the delivery room, the doctor checked her and said to Li Yifei, "The baby is quite big; it’s not easy for a natural birth. Would you like a Caesarean section?"

Li Yifei thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, but let’s ask Ling’er’s opinion. If she agrees, then proceed with the Caesarean. After all, there will be a scar on her belly from the surgery, but I have no objections in this regard!"

Su Mengxin and others also nodded and said, "Caesarean is fine too, at least it’s more bearable than my time. The scar heals after some days, and it’s fine."

Each method has its pros and cons. With a Caesarean, at least you don’t feel pain during delivery, and the baby comes out quickly, but the recovery period for the scar and other things is longer. For Xiao Ling’er, it’s a good choice. Natural birth recovers quickly, but a certain passage can become loose, which is unfavorable for married life.

Li Yifei changed into disinfected clothes and entered the delivery room. He held one of Xiao Ling’er’s hands, gently wiping her sweat with the other. Li Yifei pressed his cheek against hers and softly said, "Ling’er, don’t be afraid. Just follow the doctor’s instructions."

Xiao Ling’er was already in the pre-labor stage with contractions. However, the pain was still bearable. Thinking of the impending birth of her child, a mix of tension and excitement filled her mind. She forced a smile and said, "I know, Sister Mengxin and Sister Yunzhu have talked to me about it several times. I’m not scared, husband, don’t worry."

"Yeah, once the anesthesia works, it won’t hurt. It’ll be like taking a nap, just endure a little and it’ll be over."

"But, is there really no problem with a Caesarean? I heard from Mom that children born naturally are more intelligent because that process is an important evolution for humans..."

"Don’t overthink it. How could our child be anything less than smart? They’ll be smart no matter how they’re born. Besides, those sayings don’t have scientific evidence." Li Yifei reassured her.

Listening to this, Xiao Ling’er pursed her lips and nodded firmly, saying, "Honey, a new life is about to arrive. I can endure a bit of hardship, but I hope the child is like you."

Xiao Ling’er is expecting a boy, while Song Lianyao is expecting a girl. Since the doctor is theirs, there was no need to hide it. They had been informed during previous checkups. Li Yifei feels that whether it’s a boy or a girl, he would love them all the same.

"Being like you is good too. You’re so beautiful. Our son will be a heartthrob, sweeping a bunch of girls off their feet."

"Why does a boy need to be so handsome? I hope he can be like his dad, a hero like you. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Adjusting pre-labor emotions is quite important. After Li Yifei said a few words, Xiao Ling’er wasn’t as nervous anymore. She even didn’t hold Li Yifei’s hand as tightly as before.

Once the doctor adjusted the anesthesia medication and the nurse had prepared Xiao Linger’s body, Li Yifei still chose to accompany her throughout the process.

The anesthesia was administered, and Xiao Ling’er merely frowned slightly, feeling a bit nervous. But seeing Li Yifei’s smile, she felt full of warmth in her heart.

Xiao Ling’er’s due date was these days, similar to Song Lianyao’s, so the baby is full-term. Both natural and Caesarean deliveries are fine, and the entire process was quite rapid. Li Yifei witnessed the baby being taken out from Xiao Ling’er’s belly and he was the one to cut the umbilical cord. Looking at his wrinkled son, Li Yifei couldn’t help but have his eyes filled with tears, and Xiao Ling’er also shed tears of joy.

After handing the baby to the nurse for cleaning, Li Yifei took a tissue to wipe Xiao Ling’er’s tears, saying, "Honey, you’ve been through so much. Our child is born, and he resembles you. He’ll surely be an enchanting little handsome guy."

Hearing these words, Xiao Ling’er finally closed her eyes with relief. She was under general anesthesia, so she couldn’t speak, but she could still hear and see. Although it was a Caesarean, she felt quite exhausted.

In the room, Xiao Ling’er had been moved over and woke up after sleeping for a while. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su Yiyi holding the baby— a room full of women. The Li family now had another member, and it was a son, making everyone very happy. Only Su Mengxin had red-rimmed eyes; she was happy too, but seeing the newborn made her think of her own child.

Xiao Ling’er instinctively looked for Li Yifei and asked, "Where’s my husband?"

Xu Yingying replied, "Yifei went to pick up your parents, he should be back soon."

It’s not like before when it was just pretend with Li Yifei; now they could actually have a child. Watching every woman in the house having their own children, Xu Yingying couldn’t deny being envious. But now that Li Yifei couldn’t be with them in that way, she felt even more conflicted and frustrated inside. Nevertheless, this was a joyful moment, and she was full of happiness. The newborn baby, still wrinkled, was already very cute.

Su Yiyi held the child and handed him to Xiao Ling’er for feeding. However, in front of so many people, the usually bold Xiao Ling’er turned bashful.

"Be natural, what’s there to be shy about? I can nurse in front of you too," said Ye Yunzhu, as she walked over to help Xiao Ling’er lift her clothes. Her engorged, heavy breasts were exposed, and she taught Xiao Ling’er the correct position to feed the baby. The newborn instinctively knew to suckle as soon as the nipple touched its mouth; it was truly miraculous. Xiao Ling’er gradually relaxed.

Looking down at her baby boy, even with his ugliness, he was still so lovable. At this moment, she had forgotten all about the pain in her body and the hardships of the past ten months.

Li Yifei returned with Xiao Ling’er’s parents. Her parents had somewhat accepted Li Yifei by now. Recently, Xiao Ling’er’s mother had been at home counting the days, worried her daughter would give birth soon, and urged her husband to call and ask when to come see her.

After all, they were her parents. Maybe they had acted out of line before, but their love for their daughter was genuine. The moment Xiao Ling’er’s mother saw her daughter and grandchild, tears streamed down her face. Fortunately, Li Yifei showed enough love for her daughter; otherwise, the old lady would have had an outburst.

Xiao Ling’er’s father was also overjoyed. The Xiao Family wasn’t very populous, so having a new grandchild born made the old man very happy.

After nursing, the little baby quickly fell into a deep sleep. The crowd gradually retreated to a nearby room. Li Yifei exchanged a few words with Xiao Ling’er, then went to keep her father company, while her mother stayed to talk with Xiao Ling’er and her grandchild.

When Li Yifei came out, he saw Su Mengxin. His heart ached instantly. Su Mengxin’s eyes were red, her demeanor a bit desolate. She exchanged a few words with Xu Yingying before intending to leave, and Li Yifei quickly caught up to her.

"Mengxin..." Li Yifei grabbed Su Mengxin’s hand.

Su Mengxin turned to look at Li Yifei, sniffed, and finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She threw herself into his arms and began to cry.

Li Yifei patted Su Mengxin’s back. He was also feeling bad and comforted her, "Mengxin, we will find our son. We will definitely find him!"

"Sob, sob, it’s not that I don’t believe you. Our family, my father, and grandfather are also doing everything to find him, but... ever since the incident with the Sunx Family, there’s been no news at all. I’m so worried something might happen to him, that he’s so small, utterly incapable of surviving, and if those people discarded him, then... sob, sob!"

All this while, Su Mengxin acted normal, strong, brave, decisive, leading the women to fight against the Sunx and Song families. But inside? Li Yifei also kept busy, what with the troubles involving Na Yi, and Su Mengxin had to understand him. To prevent Li Yifei from getting hurt, she refrained from overly intimate contact, even though they could now sleep together. She avoided it.

But these days, Su Mengxin woke up several times each night, tormented by nightmares. Dreams in which her child was harmed, crawling back to her, crying painfully. That kind of cry tormented her as a mother every time she imagined it, tearing her heart apart.

Seeing Xiao Ling’er’s happiness today reminded Su Mengxin of herself and her child. Those suppressed emotions suddenly erupted, and she flung herself into Li Yifei’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

No matter how mature or strong she seemed, to Li Yifei, she was just his son’s mother, his wife who also needed care and protection. Li Yifei realized he had truly overlooked the women’s inner feelings and many of their thoughts during this time.

Holding Su Mengxin tightly, Li Yifei didn’t know how to comfort her. The child was theirs; though he had other children now, they had lost their own child, and Li Yifei’s heart had never been truly happy. At times, he just didn’t want to think about it, but when he did, it was heart-wrenching, worrisome, and maddening.

Su Mengxin was still the same Su Mengxin. After crying and venting, she came out of Li Yifei’s embrace, wiped her face, and said to him, "Honey, I just... miss our son. You don’t need to worry. I know finding him might be a long process. I never thought it would happen so soon. I’m mentally prepared, and I know you won’t stop searching for our son. All right, go keep Ling’er company. I’m fine now!"

Li Yifei’s hand clenched and unclenched several times before he nodded slowly, kissed Su Mengxin lightly on the lips, and said, "Mengxin, I will come to see you later. You’ve been tired these few days. How about you take a day to rest, go home, and sleep, not thinking about anything for now?"

"Mm, I’m going back. Please let Ling’er know, honey!"
