The phone rang several times before Li Qingshuo reluctantly picked it up.
"Why are you calling me?" Li Qingshuo's tone was cold. His father, who only called him for work throughout the year, suddenly calling him meant he had seen the news online.
"Qingshuo, was the child really killed by Mu Yunlei and Li Qingfeng?" Li's father asked excitedly.
News had reported a while ago that Qingshuo was holding a woman covered in blood at the hospital entrance. She had a very large belly, and he was very angry that Li Qingshuo had a wife and child without letting his father know.
In a fit of rage, he had ignored him.
But today, everything overturned all his passion and sincerity, overturned everything he had.
It overturned the love he had upheld for over twenty years, plunging him into hell, making him wish he were dead!
"Hmph! What does that have to do with you? You must have seen the news earlier, why weren't you concerned about your grandson then?"
"It's all your good son's doing. Your wicked son has done all sorts of bad deeds, and he will be punished one day. You really know how to teach." Li Qingshuo's gritted teeth were filled with intense anger and sarcasm.
"Li Qingfeng, that scoundrel, I won't let him off." Li Feng roared.
"Over the years, you helped Li Qingfeng deal with me. Now you know he's not your son, and you're turning your back on him? After all, you raised him for over twenty years. Let alone a person, even a dog, you would have feelings for it. Turning your back so quickly, don't you find it ironic?"
"Qingshuo, I'm sorry. If I had known he wasn't my son..."
"What time is it? Still talking nonsense. I'm hanging up." Li Qingshuo hung up the phone angrily.
He wiped his face uncomfortably, placing his hands on his face, his breathing becoming rapid due to anger.
Yun Xia held his hand, looking at him with concern.
"Don't be sad, think of good things." Yun Xia was originally a very gentle person, and her gentle charm was even more irresistible when her tone was soft.
Li Qingshuo was enveloped by her gentleness, feeling warm inside. Looking at her gentle expression, illuminated by the light, it made her skin porcelain white and rosy, exceptionally alluring.
He leaned down affectionately, placing a kiss on her forehead, and held her in his arms.
Yun Xia's heart pounded, and she leaned quietly in his arms, feeling his gentleness and the strong beat of his heart. His heartbeat was very strong, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.
The spot on her forehead where he kissed her felt a bit hot.
He heard his deep, smiling voice in her ear, "Xia Xia, as long as you and the baby and Mom are well, I will be well." No one can hurt me except you all.
"Knock, knock..."
Li Qingshuo released Yun Xia. Yun Xia blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Qingshuo.
He had kissed her so gently just now.
Li Qingshuo looked at her shy expression and couldn't help but smile, "Xia Xia, it should be Mom who's here."
Li Qingshuo got up to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan standing outside.
Li Qingshuo smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Mu Jiuchen's gaze flickered, and he looked at Jiang Nuan, saying, "Nuan Nuan was worried about you and wanted to come see you."
They had changed their route halfway after intending to go back.
Li Qingshuo looked at his awkward demeanor, wondering if he was also awkward when caring for others.
"Come in." Li Qingshuo invited the couple inside.
"Nuan Nuan." Yun Xia was very happy to see Jiang Nuan.
"Xia Xia, are you okay?" Jiang Nuan walked over and sat beside her. She was nearing her due date.
"I'm fine, but my back is really sore." Yun Xia sat up slightly.
She felt like she was going to give birth in the next couple of days.
"By the way, Nuan Nuan, this little guy was moving a lot last night. I don't know what he was so excited about."
Li Qingshuo smiled happily upon hearing this. "Yes, Nuan Nuan, he was moving a lot last night and kicked me a few times." Feeling the vitality of his son, that feeling was simply too blissful.
Every time he placed his hand on Xia Xia's belly and felt the little hands and feet gently kick him, his heart would ache, and tears would well up.
Jiang Nuan smiled at her, "You're very close to your due date. Looking at your baby's position, it's estimated that he'll come a few days early."
"Really? I'm really looking forward to it." Yun Xia smiled slightly, radiating brilliance.
Thinking about her condition, Yun Xia added, "Nuan Nuan, anyway, I'm not feeling very well today. My lower abdomen feels heavy."
Whenever she stood up and walked, her waist would ache intensely, and she felt like something was pulling downwards.
"Is that so? Xia Xia, give me your hand."
"Oh!" Yun Xia handed her hand to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan closed her eyes, felt carefully for a moment, and then quickly opened them, her eyes filled with excitement. "This little guy can't wait to come out."
Jiang Nuan checked the time. "It's 4 PM now. If you check around 6 PM, there should be some signs."
"Ah..." These words caught Li Qingshuo off guard.
"No, Nuan Nuan, did you just say Yun Qing is coming out tonight?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him in confusion. "The child is called Yun Qing?" This name is quite gentle.
Li Qingshuo smiled and nodded. "Yes, Xia Xia and I chose it together."
Jiang Nuan looked at Yun Xia meaningfully. "It contains both of your names. That's wonderful. Yun Qing, pure and elegant like clouds. A good name."
"Thank you!" Li Qingshuo smiled unceremoniously, excited at the thought of seeing his son tonight. "By the way, Nuan Nuan, what should I do?"
Li Qingshuo was too excited and didn't know what to do.
Jiang Nuan looked at his excited appearance, the joy, anticipation, and happiness of becoming a father.
"You don't need to prepare anything. When Xia Xia has labor pains, stay by her side and accompany her; that's the best help you can give her." Having someone by your side during labor can change your mood.
"Okay, okay, Nuan Nuan." Li Qingshuo looked excitedly at Mu Jiuchen, who had a rather poor complexion, and ignoring his expression, he was as excited as a silly boy. "Xiao Jiu, I'm going to be a father."
"Congratulations!" Mu Jiuchen said stiffly.
"Thank you, Xiao Jiu!" Li Qingshuo was so excited he didn't know where to put his eyes.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him, it was very jarring. He hadn't seen his own child born, but he had fainted twice from excitement when he knew he had a child.
He thought to himself that Li Qingshuo's current mood must be the same as his then.
Li Qingshuo chattered endlessly, started checking the baby's clothes and formula, sterilizing the milk bottles, and constantly asking Jiang Nuan questions.
Jiang Nuan was really annoyed by him and ordered, "Li Qingshuo, sit down. You've already prepared enough. The baby is just born and can't eat much."
"Oh, oh, is that so?" Li Qingshuo finally sat back by Yun Xia's side obediently.
Yun Xia always had a faint smile on her face. His busyness for an hour made her feel that time passed quickly.
"Ah..." Yun Xia suddenly cried out.
