Chapter 102 Accompanying!
After everything finally settled down, time also started to move quickly.
Mengyao’s belly grew bigger and bigger. Even though she liked to eat delicacies with flower fillings, she couldn’t eat anything as she neared her due date.
She looked listless, like a flower that couldn’t absorb nutrients, which made Gu Yu, who was by her side, extremely worried.
Fortunately, it didn’t last long.
Because Mengyao was going into labor.
Mengyao’s labor signs came on suddenly. As she felt her body’s abnormalities growing, the midwives who were already waiting in the mansion immediately entered the room to attend to her, helping Mengyao give birth with trembling hands.
Although they earned quite a lot of silver this time, if Mengyao and the child were to have any accidents, they wouldn’t have the life to spend it!
Nothing else, but just the way the Gu Residence’s son-in-law looked at people, it was like being stared at by a venomous snake. Just recalling it was frightening enough.
“Gu Yu, calm down. It’s just giving birth. My daughter can kill on the battlefield, so giving birth can’t possibly stump her! Relax.”
Seeing the maids walking back and forth, occasionally bringing out hot water with blood on it, Gu Qing, who was standing beside Gu Yu, quickly comforted him, not wanting his son-in-law to worry.
However, Gu Yu looked at the wall that had an imprint left by Gu Qing’s slap, and he felt that his father-in-law was even more worried!
“Father-in-law, don’t worry. Mengyao will definitely be fine!”
Gu Yu didn’t expose them. Both he and Gu Qing wished for Mengyao’s well-being, so they naturally wouldn’t say anything to cause worry.
But…
Hearing not even a single groan from inside the room made Gu Yu even more anxious. He worried that Mengyao might have fainted from the pain.
Didn’t they say giving birth was extremely painful?
Why wasn’t his little wife even groaning? Had she fainted directly from the pain?
If that were the case, it would be even more detrimental to the birth!
Standing there, his mind racing with thoughts, Gu Yu finally made a decision.
He was going into the room to accompany her!
It was just giving birth. As Mengyao’s husband, it was perfectly fine for him to accompany her.
“Oh dear, Son-in-law, don’t go in!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to lift his foot to go in, the midwife coming out to get water saw him and quickly tried to stop him.
Since ancient times, men were not allowed to accompany women during childbirth.
Otherwise, if they were affected by the blood, they would be unlucky for a lifetime!
“How is Mengyao’s situation? Why isn’t there even a sound!”
However, Gu Yu ignored the midwife’s words. No matter what, he had to go in and see.
He wasn’t from this era, so he didn’t believe the saying that watching a woman give birth would bring bad luck.
In modern hospitals, there were many men who accompanied women during childbirth!
Moreover, even if it were true, he, Gu Yu, was not afraid of such things.
As long as Mengyao was alright.
‘Waa!’
Just as Gu Yu took a step into the room, a loud sound immediately came from inside.
Hearing the baby’s cries, Gu Yu’s footsteps quickened even more.
By the time he reached Mengyao’s bedside, the midwife had already cleaned the baby and covered it with a prepared cotton cloth.
Gu Yu only glanced at the child, and then didn’t pay further attention. Instead, he looked at Mengyao’s pale face with concern.
Giving birth was truly a ordeal for Mengyao.
This made Gu Yu secretly decide that two children were enough. If they had more, his wife would suffer even more!
“Ah Yu, look at the baby!”
Perhaps hearing the baby cry, Mengyao’s spirits recovered a bit. After giving Gu Yu a weak smile, her eyes held a hint of hope.
She was going to be a mother.
The thought of having Gu Yu’s child made Mengyao’s heart feel sweet.
A long time ago, she had dreamed of a life with children, and today it had come true.
“The baby is fine, but are you alright? Is there anywhere that’s uncomfortable? You didn’t even cry out. You really made me worry so much.”
Gu Yu ignored the baby and reached out to hold Mengyao’s hand, hoping to give her strength.
Although he had been prepared, when the day of childbirth actually arrived, all the preparations were useless.
Gu Yu wished he could go through childbirth himself…
“I can endure this slight pain! But… it’s starting to hurt again, and it really is two children!”
Other than her pale complexion, Mengyao didn’t feel any other discomfort. However, as she was speaking, her stomach ached again.
This made the midwife waiting by her side quickly check, and upon seeing that there was indeed another one in her womb, she immediately prepared to continue assisting Mengyao with the delivery.
Mengyao, on the other hand, reached out and held Gu Yu’s hand tightly. Compared to the discomfort of the previous labor, this time it was much smoother.
“She’s delivered, she’s delivered! This time it’s a girl!”
After the midwife’s surprised voice sounded, Mengyao finally fainted with relief. Gu Yu quickly took her pulse, and after confirming that Mengyao was alright, he finally relaxed.
Everything was over.
…
When Mengyao woke up, the first person she saw was Gu Yu.
Looking at Gu Yu’s dark circles, Mengyao couldn’t help but playfully tap him, thinking how good her husband was!
She hadn’t really thought about it before due to the labor, but now that she recalled it, Gu Yu ignoring the danger of the blood and rushing in to accompany her was truly moving.
Her husband, Mengyao’s husband, was completely different from other men.
“Are you still feeling unwell?”
“Mmm.”
Seeing Mengyao wake up, Gu Yu immediately asked with concern. Upon hearing Mengyao’s reply, he was eager to get up and check on her condition.
However, Mengyao directly raised her hand to stop Gu Yu from getting up and then shifted her gaze to the two children beside them.
Every woman experienced pain when giving birth, and she just wanted to act cute.
But looking at her little husband’s nervous expression, she decided not to tease him anymore.
The two children looked plump and rosy, they were really too adorable… As expected, her and Gu Yu’s children were the most beautiful!
“Quickly bring the children over to see. Just looking at them is so cute. They are worthy of being my son and daughter!”
Seeing Mengyao’s gaze, Gu Yu didn’t wait for her to speak before directly picking up the two children and placing them beside Mengyao.
Gu Yu wasn’t very interested in the children, but Mengyao loved them dearly.
This made Gu Yu decide to be better to the children in the future, otherwise his little wife might get angry!
“The older one born first is the brother, and the younger one born second is the sister. Both little ones are very healthy.”
Following Mengyao’s thoughts, as Gu Yu spoke, Mengyao had already eagerly kissed the two little treasures, completely smitten with them.
“Ah Yu, have you thought of names for the children yet?”
After Mengyao kissed this one and that one, she suddenly remembered that the children’s names hadn’t been decided yet… This was a major matter that couldn’t be overlooked!
The number one female general in the world.
