Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 883 Mr. Zhou, you can cut the umbilical cord now.

Soon, the two arrived at the wonton shop.

Because it was lunchtime, there were quite a few people.

Wen Ning found a corner spot while Zhou Yi went to queue up to buy wontons.

They were just like an ordinary couple, living a very normal life among the crowd.

After the meal, Wen Ning didn't go back to her office but rested in Zhou Yi's office instead.

They went home together in the evening.

After this sudden public announcement, Wen Ning and Zhou Yi became increasingly open and honest.

It wasn't long before the news spread throughout Haicheng that Zhou Yi's wife was Wen Ning.

But nobody knows that Zhou Yi was never actually promoted to the official position.

As night fell, Wen Ning finished dealing with her work.

She looked up and saw Zhou Yi standing next to her. Wen Ning looked at Zhou Yi without showing any emotion.

"You have something to say to me?" Wen Ning asked directly.

"Yes. First thing, my prenatal checkup is tomorrow. It's the five-month checkup," Zhou Yi said succinctly.

Zhou Yi arranged all the prenatal checkups.

Wen Ning, on the other hand, didn't take it too seriously.

This is roughly what a feeling of dependence is like.

Wen Ning nodded: "Anything else?"

That's clearly not the point.

Zhou Yi paused for a moment before continuing, "Yes. Everyone outside says you're my wife. But I've never been officially recognized as my wife."

He spoke in a very calm tone, recounting something that made him feel extremely wronged.

"And then?" Wen Ning looked at Zhou Yi with a half-smile.

Zhou Yi suddenly knelt on one knee: "So, are you willing to marry me? Let me officially make you my wife?"

Wen Ning just watched without answering.

However, Wen Ning probably knew what Wen Suisui and Zhou Yi had said.

He proposed a hundred times.

Not knowing what to feel, Wen Ning also wanted to know if Zhou Yi could actually do it.

Just thinking about it makes her feel irritated.

Will Zhou Yi get annoyed?

"If you're not willing, then I'll try again next time." Zhou Yi was good at finding a way out. "As long as you don't directly refuse, it means I have a chance, right?"

Wen Ning burst out laughing.

This matter is now behind us.

Zhou Yi stayed with Wen Ning until she fell asleep.

The next day, Zhou Yi took Wen Ning for another prenatal checkup.

He continued to pick up and drop off Wen Ning for work as usual.

They didn't deliberately show affection, but they always appeared to be in love in front of the media.

Zhou Yi took care of every detail of Wen Ning's life.

They would eat together, take walks together, and pick up and drop off Wen Suisui together.

Reporters noticed Wen Ning entering and leaving the hospital, and when asked when Wen Ning was pregnant, Zhou Yi readily admitted it.

However, Zhou Yi didn't say anything more.

The reporter did not ask any further questions.

Under Zhou Yi's loving care, Wen Ning's belly grew bigger and bigger.

During this time, Zhou Yi would propose to Wen Ning anytime, anywhere.

Sometimes it's very ceremonial, and sometimes it might just be a casual remark made by two people when they're together.

However, you can tell from this attitude that Zhou Yi is serious, not perfunctory.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Ning was already eight months pregnant.

Wen Ning's situation was special; she had suffered severe bleeding when she gave birth to Wen Sui Sui years ago, so Zhou Yi was extra careful.

Later on, Zhou Yi forbade Wen Ning from going to work at the company anymore.

Wen Ning didn't force him.

The baby in my belly became much quieter towards the end.

However, Wen Ning often suffers from cramps and edema.

When she was woken up in pain in the middle of the night, Zhou Yi always took care of her patiently.

Wen Ning said it was impossible not to be moved.

She thought that if Zhou Yi proposed to her again, she would say yes.

But Zhou Yi's marriage proposal never came; Wen Ning's water broke prematurely.

Wen Ning's water broke in the middle of the night.

The damp feeling startled Wen Ning awake from her dream.

Having already given birth to a child, she certainly knew what had happened.

As soon as Wen Ning moved, Zhou Yi also woke up immediately.

The sheets became wet.

Zhou Yi was at a loss for what to do.

"My water broke," Wen Ning said very seriously.

"I know," Zhou Yi replied earnestly.

But Wen Ning knew that such seriousness was just a pretense of composure.

Because Zhou Yi is now like a headless fly, unable to even find the maternity bag she had prepared.

Not to mention anything else.

Wen Ning sighed: "Call your mother."

Zhou Yi acted almost immediately upon receiving the command, and called Nan Sheng right away.

They now live in a large house.

Nan Sheng received the call and rushed to their room without even changing her clothes.

Nan Sheng, having been through this before, reacted quickly: "Call the hospital immediately and ask them to send an ambulance. The situation is alright now, we'll meet them on the way."

Zhou Yi was still standing there, dumbfounded.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go," Nan Sheng said irritably.

Soon, Nan Sheng notified the housekeeper.

The housekeeper prepared the maternity bag and all the necessities and went to the hospital in advance to prepare the delivery room.

“Carry Wen Ning into the car.” Nan Sheng looked at Zhou Yi. “Then lay her flat on the seat. I’ve notified the driver to take the van. The hospital ambulance is already on its way. We can hand her over at the intersection.”

Wen Ning is now experiencing labor pains.

It came too suddenly, and it was all very concentrated.

Her face turned pale in waves.

It's because of uterine contractions.

Zhou Yi saw that Wen Ning's face was pale and he was also in a bad mood.

Soon, the group went to the hospital.

Midway through the journey, they met up with the ambulance, and Wen Ning transferred to the ambulance.

Zhou Yi was now drenched in sweat.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Wen Ning was taken to the delivery room.

Zhou Yi paced back and forth outside, his tense emotions evident.

"I'm so annoyed by your leaving." Nan Sheng couldn't help but say quickly, "Sit down."

"Besides, she's pregnant with her second child now, much faster than with her first. When she was giving birth to Sui Sui, did you ever experience the helplessness and confusion Wen Ning felt all alone inside?" Nan Sheng said irritably.

Zhou Yi fell silent after being spoken to.

But that tense feeling remained.

The delivery room door was closed.

Nan Sheng waited patiently outside.

Wen Ning's cervix dilated very quickly; the nurse came out in less than three hours.

"We can see the baby's head now. Dad, do you want to come in and cut the umbilical cord?" the nurse asked Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi nodded without hesitation.

Soon, the nurse helped Zhou Yi change her clothes before heading towards the delivery room.

When Zhou Yi saw Wen Ning, he seemed to be in great pain, his face deathly pale.

She gripped the handrails of the delivery bed tightly, straining.

He quickly walked towards Wen Ning's direction.

"I'm here." Zhou Yi protected Wen Ning's hand with his own.

The next second, Wen Ning screamed, her hand tightly gripping Zhou Yi's hand.

It hurt a lot, but Zhou Yi didn't say a word the whole time, letting Wen Ning hold him.

Then he heard a cry.

"She's given birth," the doctor said.

Wen Ning was panting heavily, but her eyes were still fixed on the direction of the baby.

The doctor is treating it.

The nurse stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhou, you can cut the umbilical cord now."

Zhou Yi then walked towards the child and cut the umbilical cord as instructed by the doctor.
