Three years later.
An Nuan noticed that Nangong Jin's hand, which was holding hers, was trembling and covered in sweat.
"Nangong Jin, there's no need to be nervous. I've given birth once before, and this is my second time. I have experience, so you truly don't need to worry."
"An Nuan, I'm not worried. I'm really not scared at all."
"You don't need to worry either, okay?"
"Everything will be taken care of by me."
Nangong Jin spoke, but his hand still held An Nuan's tightly. In reality, he was scared, but he stubbornly said in front of An Nuan, "You don't have to worry about anything, I'm really fine."
"What kind of big scene haven't I seen before? I definitely won't be afraid of this kind of situation."
An Nuan swallowed back the words she was about to say. She felt that anything she said now would be inappropriate.
And Nangong Jin's stubborn refusal to admit it was truly unbearable to watch.
However, men were all like this.
In fact, during the period leading up to her due date, if she made even the slightest sound at night, Nangong Jin would immediately get up nervously and ask if she needed to go to the hospital.
Only after hearing her affirmative answer and confirming it did Nangong Jin finally sigh with relief.
In fact, at many times, Nangong Jin's hand would rest on her belly, caressing it. Sometimes, he would even childishly threaten the baby in her womb.
This Nangong Jin truly made her want to laugh and cry at the same time.
She really hadn't expected that Nangong Jin would have such a hidden, childish side.
An Nuan would only let out a small, soft hum, but Nangong Jin would become extremely nervous.
Sometimes, he would even threaten the baby in her womb.
This Nangong Jin really made An Nuan feel like laughing and crying at the same time.
An Nuan was even starting to find Nangong Jin a bit exasperating now. Because whenever she went out, Nangong Jin would always follow her, acting all mysterious. That look was truly unbearable to witness.
One day, her stomach really started to hurt. It was time to go to the hospital.
"An Nuan, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?"
Nangong Jin was very quick. He had already prepared everything, so all they needed to do was get An Nuan into the car.
Even though he was prepared, he was still nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.
Nangong Jin took An Nuan to the hospital as quickly as possible.
An Nuan was now in the hospital.
However, only An Nuan could go inside to give birth. Nangong Jin paced back and forth outside, which was truly a headache to watch.
Nangong Jin muttered incessantly, "Why? Why isn't she out yet?"
Nangong Jin was genuinely worried that something bad might happen, so he didn't dare to leave.
Looking at him from the side, Huo Yuxuan truly hadn't expected that the usually calm Nangong Jin would become so flustered in such a situation.
Besides, they were already at the hospital, and there would surely be doctors to handle any issues.
Yet, here he was, worrying himself sick.
"Do you think giving birth is very painful?"
"Do you think An Nuan will faint from the pain?"
Nangong Jin grabbed Huo Yuxuan's hand and asked earnestly.
Huo Yuxuan was helpless. In reality, everyone felt the same. Was it appropriate to ask him this question? It probably wasn't.
Huo Yuxuan looked at Nangong Jin and even felt that the person in front of him might be going crazy.
If he wasn't crazy, why would he be grabbing him and asking such questions?
Huo Yuxuan, unable to bear it any longer, immediately said, "You don't need to worry. Everything will be fine."
Nangong Jin looked at Huo Yuxuan and said earnestly, "Is what you're saying true? Will everything really be fine? You're not lying to me, are you?"
If it weren't for the generous salary, Huo Yuxuan would have wanted to lash out. He looked at Nangong Jin and said earnestly, "Yes, everything will be fine."
"With so many doctors here, how could anything go wrong?"
Nangong Jin nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's true."
As soon as he said this, Nangong Jin looked at Huo Yuxuan. Huo Yuxuan felt his scalp tingle. He cautiously looked at Nangong Jin and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Nangong Jin looked at Huo Yuxuan and then suddenly said seriously, "That's true, but there's no point in telling you this. You haven't experienced it yourself."
Huo Yuxuan felt like hitting the person in front of him. He had been worried about Nangong Jin just moments ago, but now he felt that Nangong Jin was so incredibly annoying.
Huo Yuxuan clenched his fists tightly, telling himself repeatedly not to worry and not to overthink. Nangong Jin was just saying these things because he was worried about An Nuan, which was why he was speaking in such an irritating manner.
Looking at the person in front of him, Huo Yuxuan forced himself to endure.
At this moment, a doctor came out. Nangong Jin hurried over, "How is my wife?"
The doctor said, "Mother and child are safe. The baby is..."
As a nurse was about to hand over the baby, Nangong Jin didn't even glance at her. The doctor didn't say much more, but it was indeed the first time she had seen someone so concerned about his wife and not the baby.
Huo Yuxuan quickly went to take the baby.
He thought that if An Nuan found out about this, she would definitely argue with Nangong Jin.
However, given how much Nangong Jin cherished An Nuan, this matter wouldn't be a big deal.
"An Nuan, what's wrong? How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"
Nangong Jin held An Nuan's hand tightly, not even willing to let go. It was as if he feared that if he let go, An Nuan would disappear.
Looking at Nangong Jin, who was so worried about her, An Nuan was truly touched.
Nangong Jin looked at An Nuan with deep gratitude.
Nangong Jin helped An Nuan back into the room. At that moment, An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin and asked, "Where's the baby?"
Nangong Jin froze, looking at An Nuan with deep apology.
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin with a helpless expression and said, "What's wrong? Did you forget about the baby?"
Just then, Huo Yuxuan walked in with the baby and quickly said, "Don't worry, the baby is with me."
Hearing Huo Yuxuan's voice, Nangong Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the baby wasn't lost. If the baby had been lost, An Nuan would have been angry. How would he explain it then?
It seemed that no matter what he said, An Nuan wouldn't forgive him.
An Nuan looked at the guilty-looking Nangong Jin, and in the end, she just smiled, saying nothing.
