Chapter 229: Chapter 229

Gong Ruini looked at the deeply asleep Zhao Guangran beside her, truly impressed.

Even amidst such commotion, he seemed not to have heard a thing, sleeping soundly.

"No wonder he’s a simple-minded person." Gong Ruini actually felt a bit jealous.

Listening to the cries from the next door, Gong Ruini was truly filled with fear.

They say after having the first child, the next is much easier, but Zhan Jing’s childbirth was quite difficult this time.

Gong Ruwen’s face was deathly pale and frightening; the dark night paired with Zhan Jing’s agonizing cries made him think of many things.

"Don’t be afraid, sis, your brother is here with you." Gong Ruwen tightly gripped Gong Ruini’s arm, signaling her not to be scared.

Gong Ruini wanted to say she wasn’t scared at all, but when Gong Ruwen reached out, she could only hold his hand back.

It wasn’t her fear; it was Gong Ruwen’s fear, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much sweat.

"I wonder if the two little brothers will be cute."

"I wonder how sturdy they’ll be in the future."

Gong Ruini expressed her expectations for the Zhao family’s two unborn sons, while not forgetting to mock the still sound asleep Zhao Guangran, "Don’t be as simple-minded as their second brother."

Sigh, the earlier commotion was minor, but Zhan Jing had been shouting for so long; this young master could sleep through it, he’s definitely a character.

"Right." Zhao Xuran also conceded about their brother, "It’d be best if when the brothers are born, he continues sleeping."

"Absolutely." Gong Ruini casually chatted with Zhao Xuran about their expectations for the Zhao family’s little brothers; initially, she wasn’t very afraid.

Even when childbirth goes smoothly, it won’t be without any noise, but as the morning light crept in and Zhan Jing was still howling, Gong Ruini felt a bit terrified.

Gong Ruini was worried about whether Zhan Jing would have complications; it’s been hours, yet no birth, not even one twin coming through.

Hua Miaozhu was a bundle of nerves in the room, wondering why they hadn’t come out yet; earlier, her daughter had assured her it was fine, the midwife said the problems were minor.

But why was it when her daughter was giving birth, the child still wouldn’t come out?

Cai Meina kept busy bringing in hot water from outside, or helping out in little ways; inwardly, she felt a chaotic anxiety.

Zhao Gang was outside boiling water; his wife hadn’t delivered yet, how could he not be worried? Had his mother-in-law not blocked the door, he would’ve barged right in.

This is troubling, the cries from his wife were softening, "Wife, hang in there! Think of our child."

"You haven’t seen Xuran and the others grow up, marry, and have kids." For some reason, Zhao Gang worried that his wife wouldn’t make it through.

"Mom, there’s some ginseng in the box." At this moment, Zhao Gang remembered they had some supplies at home.

Ginseng, right, they have ginseng. Hua Miaozhu recalled her girl mentioning before that they had some ginseng at home, even though its potency wasn’t great, it should help a little.

Hua Miaozhu hurried to slice ginseng to take to Zhan Jing, and Gong Ruini wasn’t idle either.

Although Gong Ruini always felt her space was quite useless, it had a so-called cure-all well; despite its effects being diminished by the previous owner’s overuse, she didn’t think it was completely powerless.

Since Gong Ruini often drank water from the space, she felt her health had improved; she didn’t get sick as easily, although Cai Meina and others attributed it to good food, thus less sickness.

Gong Ruini thought it had something to do with the water; she wondered whether giving Zhan Jing some from the space would be effective.

Thinking about this, Gong Ruini shakily climbed from the kang and intended to check whether she could give water to Zhan Jing.

Just as Gong Ruini was about to head out wobbling, Zhao Xuran pulled her back, "Ni Zi, where are you going?"

The chaotic situation outside, Zhao Xuran was keeping an eye on Gong Ruini and the others; he couldn’t add to the adults’ troubles.

"I, I want to pee." No way, was going out not an option? It was really strict.

The expression was fine, yet there was a toilet in the room, no need to go out. Zhao Xuran could be very sure it was to see the excitement.

Zhao Xuran didn’t want the already busy adults to have to divert attention to a girl.

"Can’t you use the one inside?" Zhao Xuran stopped Gong Ruini from going out.

Too much! Gong Ruini was exasperated, but she couldn’t say the truth. Not mentioning the secrecy needed, would Zhao Xuran believe it?

Unable to leave, Gong Ruini could only honestly stay inside, as the sounds outside grew louder. Fınd the newest release on novel✦fire.net

"What’s going on?" Zhao Guangran, groggily hearing shouting outside, frightened himself greatly; just as he wanted to ask Zhao Xuran what was happening, he noticed Gong Ruini and Gong Ruwen were in his room — what in the world?

Especially when it was still dark outside, not yet time for their morning run.

The young master finally woke, Gong Ruini had been wondering when he’d wake up, "Aunt Zhan is giving birth."

What, Mom is giving birth? The hand Zhao Guangran used to wipe his eyes paused, "My mom is giving birth?"

Something’s off; weren’t there no signs before sleep? How come now mom was giving birth, "Is my mom okay?"

Gong Ruini didn’t know how to answer; if things go smoothly, generally there should’ve been a baby by now, yet they hadn’t heard any crying.

Now Zhan Jing’s cries grew louder, maybe the baby was about to be born, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

"Everything’s fine, don’t worry." Zhao Xuran reassured Zhao Guangran that their mom was alright, "Childbirth takes time, you were born from evening until sunrise."

Time moved quickly, in the blink of an eye, the brother he saw born was now grown up, soon to be a big brother, "You’ll also welcome the brothers like I did."

Zhao Guangran rarely heard about his birth from his parents or brother, curious as he was, since his brother didn’t talk about it, he didn’t ask either. Unexpectedly, today was quite a surprise bringing him joy.

Endlessly questioning Zhao Xuran about his birth, "Brother, do you think the brothers will be as cute as I was?"

Zhao Guangran had all sorts of jitters, constantly worrying that after seeing the newborn brothers, his parents and brother would give them all sorts of affection, so he had to get answers now while he could.

"Do you think you’re cute?" Zhao Xuran teased Zhao Guangran a bit, then, "To mom, dad, and me, you are all cute."

How dull, Gong Ruini expected Zhao Xuran to tease Zhao Guangran more; unexpectedly, he ended it quickly, which wasn’t as entertaining as hearing Zhao Guangran’s protests.

Gong Ruini kept yawning, having woken too early; particularly hearing Zhao Xuran’s speech, so gentle, Gong Ruini fell asleep on Gong Ruwen’s shoulder.
