Yu Han, who was called upon, could only respond with a speechless silence.
She said irritably, "It really is that painful. You should search it online yourself; childbirth pain is several times more intense than breaking a rib."
Lu Jin Yue tugged at his wife, signaling her to stop talking. "Nuan Nuan had a difficult pregnancy, and Xiao Jiu was incredibly anxious throughout. I think he's about to lose it now."
Yu Han added, "What else can you say?"
Mu Jiu Chen began pacing again. Lu Cheng Si, annoyed, barked, "Mu Jiu Chen, get over here and sit down!"
"Dad, I'm anxious," Mu Jiu Chen replied, resuming his pacing.
Everyone else exchanged glances.
Li Zhen Ting said, "In-laws, perhaps I'll accompany you to sit over there."
It was Xiao Jiu's first time accompanying his wife during childbirth, so he was bound to be nervous.
Lu Cheng Si nodded. "I understand, but this kid has been on edge the entire pregnancy, making us all nervous along with him."
"Furthermore, he was so stressed that he developed that morning sickness syndrome? Anyway, I don't quite understand it. Alas! This is my first time seeing anything like it."
Lu Cheng Si understood his son-in-law's feelings, but seeing him like this was indeed bothersome.
Li Zhen Ting remained silent.
Jiang Shao Qing, watching his father’s agitated state, could no longer bear it.
"Dad, come here."
Mu Jiu Chen looked at his son. "What is it?"
Didn't he see how anxious he was?
He prayed fervently in his heart, "May my wife and child be safe and sound."
He had repeated these words countless times.
"Dad, my mommy, even though she’s in pain, she won't let out a groan. So, if you're hoping to hear my mommy scream, that's impossible. Aunt Xia said that when my mommy gave birth to us, she didn't make a sound. If she had cried out loudly, she would have lost her strength. So, my mommy won't scream; you won't hear anything. You can sit down with peace of mind."
Mu Jiu Chen was speechless. His heart ached!
Right, with this little divine trickster here, his wife would be fine.
Mu Jiu Chen finally sat down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They hadn't been nervous at all until Mu Jiu Chen brought the atmosphere to such a tense state.
However, Mu Jiu Chen couldn't stay seated for long. After a few minutes, he stood up and rushed to the delivery room door to peek.
Everyone else couldn't bear to watch.
Forty minutes passed. "Bang, bang..." Mu Jiu Chen started knocking on the door.
Everyone else winced.
His actions were making their hearts ache.
As time dragged on, Mu Jiu Chen's face grew paler, his heart already having flown into the delivery room.
"Dad, what are you doing? You'll scare sister," Jiang Si Yun exclaimed in a low voice.
Mu Jiu Chen replied, "I want my wife."
Jiang Si Yun was left speechless.
Jiang Yu Kuo remarked, "Dad has gone crazy with worry."
Lu Cheng Si glanced at his in-laws and also grew anxious. "Why isn't there any sound at all?"
Li Zhen Ting was also at a loss for words; he had no idea what was happening.
Jin Yan hadn't said a word, but everyone knew that as a mother, Jin Yan was even more worried, though she was more composed.
Inside, Chen Yu Xin opened the door and walked to the entrance holding a baby.
Seeing Mu Jiu Chen's aggressive demeanor, she was startled.
"Um… brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Mu Jiu Chen, however, was focused on the tiny infant in her arms, asking excitedly, "Did my wife give birth? Where is my wife?"
Chen Yu Xin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, congratulations. Nuan Nuan has given birth to three daughters. This is the eldest. Her weight is within the standard range, so she doesn't need an incubator. The other two little ones' weights are below the standard, and they've already been sent to the incubator."
Mu Jiu Chen anxiously asked, "Where is my wife? Is she okay?"
Jiang Nuan slowly walked out. "I'm here. I just gave birth to a child. Look at how worried and agitated you are."
Mu Jiu Chen was speechless.
Everyone else was bewildered. How could she just walk out like this?
He hurried inside and, seeing her relaxed expression, finally felt at ease.
He picked her up and looked at her deflated belly, finally feeling reassured.
"Wife, no more children from now on." He couldn't handle the immense stress.
Jiang Nuan looked at his lips, which were pale from worry, and felt helpless.
She was a doctor herself, and this was her second pregnancy, so she had plenty of experience.
But seeing him like this, she knew if they had more children, Mu Jiu Chen might faint from worry.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Nuan wrapped her arms around his neck, a radiant smile on her face. At this moment, she felt exceptionally at ease, as if all the pain had vanished.
Mu Jiu Chen kissed her sweat-soaked forehead and carried her to rest.
The little one who had just emerged was surrounded by the entire family, their faces beaming with happiness.
Jiang Nuan watched them, feeling an immense sense of peace and happiness in her heart.
This was her family, harmonious and joyful. And she had found her true belonging!
Mu Jiu Chen squeezed through the crowd and looked at his daughter, her little face red, so tiny, only as big as his palm.
Seeing this, Jin Yan quickly urged him, "Xiao Jiu, you're still holding Nuan Nuan. Take Nuan Nuan to the ward to rest first. I'll bring the babies over later."
"Yes, Mom." Mu Jiu Chen looked at the people surrounding the babies, his mind and body finally relaxed.
He carried his wife to the ward.
Jiang Nuan was already very sleepy, leaning back on the pillow and closing her eyes.
"Wife, you've worked hard," Mu Jiu Chen said, tightly holding her hand.
Jiang Nuan slowly opened her eyes and smiled. "I am very happy, Mu Jiu Chen. This time, with you by my side, with the children accompanying me, and with our families, I am very happy. But please let me sleep for a while."
She was truly exhausted.
Childbirth was both painful and tiring, and she feared she wouldn't have enough strength.
She had been preparing medicine throughout her pregnancy, and thankfully, she had pulled through.
Even though she understood her own physical condition, childbirth could easily lead to accidents.
Fortunately, everything was well.
Jiang Nuan fell into a deep sleep, and Mu Jiu Chen sat by her side, watching over her with peace of mind.
At the same time, Mu Group's stock prices soared.
After receiving Xiao Fan's call, Mu Jiu Chen's smile was broad.
It was a joyous day. In his happiness, Mu Jiu Chen instructed Xiao Fan to give red envelopes to all the company employees to celebrate the stock surge and the birth of triplets.
Xiao Fan was ecstatic and immediately implemented the instructions.
Three months later!
The triplets reached their hundredth day. Mu Jiu Chen named his three daughters Si Nian, Si Chen, and Si Yu.
Early in the morning, everyone brought the triplets to a hotel to celebrate.
After their hundredth day, the three little ones had big, bright eyes.
Jiang Yu Kuo and his two siblings gathered around, looking at the three sisters lying in the small crib.
Jiang Si Yun turned to look at her parents. "Daddy, Mommy, the sisters are so cute! Pink and tender, soft and cuddly. I can't help but want to kiss them every day."
Mu Jiu Chen, embracing Jiang Nuan, smiled and said, "Yun Yun, you were just as cute when you were little."
He had seen photos and regretted the five years of missed companionship.
The three siblings smiled and continued to take care of their sisters.
Outside, the sounds of guests chatting and laughing filled the air, while inside, it was a warm scene of a family of eight.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at his eight-person family with immense happiness. He gazed at the woman in his arms, her stunning beauty as picturesque as a painting.
He, Mu Jiu Chen, was the happiest man in the world.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her tenderly and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I love you!"
Jiang Nuan leaned into his embrace, her face beaming with joy, her eyes filled with deep affection. "Husband, thank you! You make me the happiest woman!"
