Chapter 706: Chapter 704: Second Child_1

Mrs. Xia quickly cradled him in her arms and wiped his tears, "Chuanchuan, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry anymore, it’s not all your fault, dear."

"Grandma, Mom, will Mom be okay?" Chuanchuan, shaking with fear, lifted his blurry, tear-filled eyes and asked.

Before Mrs. Xia could respond, Lu Tingli glowered fiercely at him, "If there’s something wrong, I’ll kill you on the spot."

His voice was chilling to the bone, and the pressure around him was terrifyingly low.

Chuanchuan’s small frame involuntarily shivered with pure fright in his eyes.

Mrs. Xia was furious, scolding, "Chuanchuan is still so young, he doesn’t understand anything, how can you frighten him like this, what if you scare something serious into him?"

After berating Lu Tingli, Mrs. Xia then gently soothed the little one, worried he would be left with psychological trauma, "Chuanchuan, don’t be afraid, even a fierce tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, your dad was just trying to scare you, don’t be afraid."

"And your mom, she’s been blessed since she was a child, Grandma can guarantee that your mom definitely won’t have anything wrong with her!" Mrs. Xia assured him definitively.

Her daughter was not like ordinary people, so she felt that she would definitely be okay.

"Really?" Chuanchuan, like a drowning person seizing a lifeline, finally felt a reprieve for his constricted heart, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

"Of course it’s true." Mrs. Xia nodded again, wiping the tears from his face.

As they were talking, the emergency room door was pushed open.

"Doctor, how is my wife?"

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"Doctor, how is my sister?"

Everyone rushed to the doctor almost simultaneously, asking anxiously at the same moment.

"Don’t worry, the patient is out of danger now," the doctor scolded as he removed his mask, "But what’s wrong with you relatives, letting a pregnant woman go through such a big emotional stress? Luckily, no harm was done, but if something had actually happened, I wonder how you would have coped!"

If it weren’t for the fact, Xia Ningxing, nourished by medication all year round, had a strong body, which would hardly ever faint from heartbreak.

But it was different with a pregnant woman.

"Pregnant?"

The word exploded among everyone, leaving them dumbfounded.

Lu Tingli included.

They had always been... How could it be possible for her to be pregnant?

However, Lu Tingli quickly remembered the times Xia Ningxing had sneakily taken those things behind his back, and it must have been then!

This rascal!

Was she trying to drive him mad?

How painful and troublesome it was to have a child, wasn’t one time enough?

Lu Tingli couldn’t help massaging his temples, torn between heartache and irritation, but obviously more than anything, he was thrilled.

He was going to be a father again, and this time, it might even be the daughter he always wanted, so how could he not be happy?

But the thought of the excruciating pain Xia Ningxing would have to endure during childbirth made him wish the child would just disappear to spare his beloved wife the agony.

In short, Lu Tingli’s current mood was very complex, wanting the child yet not wanting Xia Ningxing to suffer, wishing he could take her place.

The others were not as conflicted as he was, each of them brimming with joy.

"She’s pregnant again, really pregnant again, how wonderful!" Mrs. Xia’s smile was so big she almost couldn’t close her mouth.

As people grow older, they yearn for more and more grandchildren to gather around their knees.

Especially for Xia Ningxing, with only one child by her side, it was truly too few.

"I hope this time our Bao’er can have a daughter, and best if she has multiples in one go, that would be so convenient!" Mrs. Xia added.

Everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seemed she really wished Xia Ningxing to be like a sow, giving birth to three or five in one litter.

About half an hour later, Xia Ningxing finally woke up.

"Mommy!" Chuanchuan, who had been by the bedside all along, immediately grasped her hand when she opened her eyes, blinked away tears with his long eyelashes, and choked with apology, "I’m sorry, Mommy, it’s all because I made you sad, causing you and the baby to be in danger, woohoo, Mommy, I’m so sorry!"

He would never forgive himself if anything had happened to his mother and the baby.

He would feel guilty for a lifetime!

"Chuanchuan, don’t cry, see, Mommy is fine now!" Xia Ningxing didn’t take that "you both" seriously and raised her hand to gently comfort him, "And hey, Chuanchuan, do you know that in this world, we meet many people in a lifetime, but most of them just pass by, they’re what people call strangers. However, certain people are fated to be in our lives, and even if we part ways, we can still meet again in the end."

"I believe that you and Youyou are destined for each other, and so in the future, you will surely meet again. So, how about you stop being sad, okay?"

She revealed a mother’s tender smile and reached out to wipe the tears from his cheek.

Chuanchuan silently pursed his little lips, having known since a young age that he was different from other children, with high intelligence and emotional quotient.

That’s why he was well aware that his mother’s words were just a form of comfort.

After all, no one can predict the future.

But still, he hugged Xia Ningxing, accepting her comfort, "Mommy, thank you for enlightening me. I won’t be sad anymore. Meetings and partings are a part of life, and every one of us must accept farewells, right?"

Leaving school and schoolmates behind after graduation.

Leaving parents behind upon marriage.

Leaving this world behind when passing away.

Without exception, everyone must accept it, whether they like it or not.

"That’s true, often times we have no other choice..." Hearing his mature words, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but sigh, "Chuanchuan, sometimes Mommy really wishes you could be like an ordinary child, not so smart."

Then there wouldn’t be so many worries, so much sadness.

Especially the kind of sadness from an event like this.

Ordinary three or four-year-old children, how could they be so heartbroken over a friendship? Most of them would forget in a couple of days, but Chuanchuan, Xia Ningxing guessed he would remember for a very long time.

So long that she did not even want to imagine just how long it could be.

Yet Chuanchuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his childish voice saying, "Mommy, although being too smart makes a kid my age worry a lot, I still hope to be smart!"

He certainly didn’t want to be like Cheng Youyou, who could get something as simple as 1+1 wrong.

Thinking of her, a feeling of indescribable sadness welled up in Chuanchuan’s heart, like a sponge soaked with water.

But now, he had learned to keep his troubles hidden deep inside so as not to make Mommy and the little sister in her belly sad.

"Very well, I hope our Chuanchuan always stays smart and has a bright future!" Xia Ningxing’s eyes shone with a smile as she embraced him.

"I will, Mommy!" Chuanchuan nodded as he spoke.

"You little rascal, stop talking nonsense. What you need to do now is to stop causing trouble for your mommy and the child in her belly. If anything happens again because of you, I absolutely won’t let you off easily!" After mother and son had finished speaking, Lu Tingli couldn’t help but interject with a warning.
