Chapter 712: Chapter 710 Ningxing Gives Birth Again_1

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Xia Ningxing could only agree to let him try the childbirth pain simulation machine.

"I’ll go with you," Xia Ningxing said, holding his hand.

The machine was on the top floor, just two minutes away by elevator.

Uncle Lu and the others were already gathered around the machine, observing it curiously.

"This thing is pretty good; it doesn’t cause any harm to the body and allows men to experience the pain of childbirth. This way, they will definitely be more understanding of their wives’ difficulties," someone remarked.

"Exactly, otherwise too many men think having a baby is as easy as eating or drinking, completely unaware of the need to cherish their partners!" another added.

"I doubt that all men would even dare to try it!"

"Hey, don’t underestimate us men!"

As they were discussing, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli walked in.

Uncle Lu immediately smiled. "Ah, here they come!"

"Uncle," the couple echoed in greeting.

"Let’s do this, everyone else leave and give some space to the couple."

Uncle Lu was aware that Lu Tingli intended to try the machine, so he promptly shooed the unrelated bystanders away to prevent them from seeing Lu Tingli’s distressed state later on.

After all, the pain of childbirth is like having ten ribs broken at once; no one could endure that without distorting their face in agony.

Once the room was cleared, Uncle Lu looked up at Lu Tingli: "We can start now!"

"Then let’s get started!"

Lu Tingli had been ready for a while and now lay down on the machine without hesitation.

Uncle Lu stood by the machine’s switch, waiting for him to settle before pressing the first level of pain.

"This is level one childbirth pain. How does it feel?" Uncle Lu inquired as he pressed the button.

"It’s a bit of a tingling pain, but I can basically ignore it," Lu Tingli answered truthfully.

Uncle Lu continued to increase the pain levels.

As the levels went up, the pain grew more intense.

Yet Lu Tingli’s expression remained unchanged, no furrowing of the brows or change in complexion, as if he were not troubled in the slightest, composed as ever.

Uncle Lu, gritting his teeth, decided to go straight to level ten.

But unexpectedly...

Lu Tingli just slightly furrowed his brows, with still no significant reaction.

"Doesn’t it hurt at all?" Uncle Lu couldn’t help but anticipate a larger reaction, so he asked.

Lu Tingli’s voice was untroubled as he responded, "It’s not that it doesn’t hurt, it’s just still within the range of what I can endure."

Uncle Lu’s mouth twitched. "You really have a high tolerance for pain!"

If it were an average person, at level ten, they would have been crying for their parents and screaming loud enough for the sound to circle the globe three times.

But his expressionless face was truly unusual.

"Alright then, come on down. I have a surgery to get to soon, so I need to go. Take good care of Xingxing," Uncle Lu said as he hit the stop button and waved goodbye to the couple before leaving.

Xia Ningxing: "Take care, Uncle."

Once he was gone, Lu Tingli’s facade changed instantly; gone was the poised appearance of someone who dismissed level ten pain. His forehead was now slick with cold sweat, his back soaked through, and his legs trembled as he got off the machine.

He collapsed to the floor, completely limp.

His thin lips drew in sharp breaths.

Xia Ningxing was stunned. "Lu?"

What had happened?

Wasn’t he... not in pain?

"Ouch! It really hurts!" Lu Tingli grumbled under his breath, his thick eyebrows fiercely knitted together.

"Oh, so you do feel pain. I thought you were invincible!" Xia Ningxing said, her lips curling into a slight smile as she stood before him, her pregnant belly prominent.

"Uncle Lu was here just now, I had to save face," Lu Tingli explained.

Xia Ningxing snorted dismissively, "Alright, get up quickly, the floor is too cold."

Lu Tingli rose from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and then immediately wrapped his arms gently around her from behind:

"Ningxing, you’ve worked hard."

His clear, unharmed voice reached her ears, the warmth of his breath causing a light tremble in her earlobes.

Warmth filled Xia Ningxing’s heart, and she clasped the hand he had placed on her belly: "It’s fine, I am willing to have a child for you."

Because she loved him, everything felt worthwhile.

"Ningxing, promise me, after this birth, we won’t have any more children!" Lu Tingli genuinely didn’t want her to suffer through this again.

"I promise you, no more, never again..." Xia Ningxing nodded, assuring him.

Having both a son and a daughter was enough. Indeed, there was no need to have more.

The day before the due date, Xia Ningxing’s water broke, and she was admitted to the operating room to await delivery.

Even though it wasn’t her first time giving birth, the usually bold Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable fear.

As she was wheeled toward the operating room, her hand clutched tightly onto Lu Tingli’s.

The grip was so strong that Lu Tingli felt his hand bones might have fractured.

But he didn’t utter a word, letting her grip him like that.

"Don’t be afraid, we are all here waiting for you and the baby. Everything will be safe, definitely!" Before entering the operating room, Lu Tingli bent over and tenderly kissed her forehead.

A sudden warmth mixed with a pinch of sourness filled Xia Ningxing’s heart. She fought back the urge to cry and nodded at him: "Lu, I’ll be fine, I’m not afraid. I’ll come out in no time."

"Silly girl, why put on a brave face in front of me?" Lu Tingli could clearly feel her trembling.

With a mix of tears and laughter, Xia Ningxing replied: "You’re the one who’s vain, do you think I’m not?"

Lu Tingli’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten: "It’ll be okay, it surely will."

As his voice faded, Xia Ningxing was pushed into the operating room.

This time, because Xia Ningxing was having twins and had special physical conditions, a cesarean section was performed, and the husband was not allowed to accompany her during the birth.

Even Lu Tingli could only wait outside.

The door of the operating room clanged shut, keeping the family members outside.

Lu Tingli’s heart instantly leaped into his throat, his heartbeat racing, as if it might burst out at any moment.

The Xia family also waited outside, anxious and concerned.

Although the risk involved in childbirth has significantly decreased nowadays...

There was still some danger.

Who could predict if an accident might occur?

After kindergarten let out, Chuanchuan and Jiang Qingchen didn’t go home but instead held hands and came to the hospital together.

"Dad! How much longer before Mommy gives birth to my little sister? Could there be any trouble?" Chuanchuan arrived, his forehead covered in sweat, anxiously inquiring.

His shining, innocent black eyes were filled with worry and urgency.

"Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense, how could anything go wrong? Everything will be alright!" Lu Tingli, already worried at heart, flustered even more at his son’s reckless words.

Chuanchuan immediately closed his mouth, not daring to speak any further, and ran to his grandmother, Mrs. Xia.

Leaning down, Mrs. Xia gently stroked his head, answering: "Don’t worry, your mommy will be fine. As for when she’ll give birth, she should be out soon."

"I understand, Grandma." Chuanchuan nodded, waiting patiently.

Waiting was an excruciating ordeal.

Each minute, each second felt as lengthy as centuries.
