Gu Sinian walked with Qi Zhenzhen, stopping and starting.
During this time, the intervals between contractions were long, and the pain was mild, so Qi Zhenzhen could still bear it. She even had the mood to joke with Gu Sinian, and the two talked with great interest about taking their child in the future.
Gu Sinian gradually relaxed. The books said that childbirth was different for every woman. Perhaps Zhenzhen was one of the lucky ones who could deliver easily and smoothly.
What he didn't know was that contractions were progressive.
The intervals would become shorter and shorter, and the pain would become more and more unbearable.
In the afternoon, Yun Shi, Xiao Qin Shi, and Da Qin Shi all arrived. After understanding the situation from the midwife, the three were ready, and they all chased Gu Sinian away. They said that with them guarding, he was just causing trouble.
Gu Sinian refused to leave. Childbirth was dangerous, so of course he had to be there.
"I'm not afraid of any bad luck," Gu Sinian said with a determined look.
"I want to eat osmanthus cakes," Qi Zhenzhen said. "The kind from the old shop in the west of the city, freshly baked."
"I'll arrange for someone to buy them," Gu Sinian said.
"I only want to eat them bought by you personally. I don't want them bought by others," Qi Zhenzhen said coquettishly.
"I'll stay here with you..." Gu Sinian said pleadingly.
"There's a doctor, a midwife, and three mothers are all here. What are you worried about? I don't just want osmanthus cakes, I also want braised pork knuckles from the old shop in the east of the city, baked buns from the south of the city, and preserved fruits from the north of the city."

The capital was not small, and buying these four items would take at least half a day.
"I'll take people with me. As soon as I buy something, I'll have it sent back," Gu Sinian compromised helplessly. "I'll have people waiting outside. You have to tell them your situation regularly, and have them relay messages to me in turns."
"Okay," Qi Zhenzhen nodded.
As long as he left.
Gu Sinian left, looking back repeatedly. After confirming he had left, the calm and composed look on Qi Zhenzhen's face instantly disappeared, and her features were all contorted.
Distraction had limited effect. At first, Qi Zhenzhen could still cope, but now, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even maintain her facial expression.
"Zhenzhen, Mother isn't afraid of bad luck. Mother has been through this, and knows how painful childbirth is. Even the most elegant woman will become completely different from her usual self due to the continuous pain," Da Qin Shi said.
When the pain reached its extreme, she would stop caring about anything else.
Da Qin Shi was worried about the huge contrast and its potential impact on their relationship.
After all, throughout the entire process, as a woman, the pain she had to endure was something a man could not empathize with. Under such circumstances, losing composure was common.
Da Qin Shi knew of a few such cases where couples were inseparable before childbirth, but after childbirth, the husband had psychological trauma and could not face his wife. Although Da Qin Shi felt her son would not be such a person, she did not have a hundred percent certainty.
As a modern person, Qi Zhenzhen understood Da Qin Shi's intentions very well. Moreover, she had seen men faint during childbirth and develop psychological issues afterward.
Besides, at this moment, she really couldn't spare the energy to deal with Gu Sinian.
Originally, she wasn't that nervous. Seeing him so careful, she unconsciously became nervous.
"Mother, I know you're doing this for my own good," Qi Zhenzhen took a deep breath, trying to fight against the contractions. "I can only be single-minded if Ah Nian leaves. He didn't listen when I asked him to leave at the beginning of labor. Fortunately, you all came, and Ah Nian compromised."
