Regarding the issue of whether Gu Yu Cheng should accompany Su Rui during her childbirth, Mother Su was also present and did not intervene during their discussion.

However, when Gu Yu Cheng went out to answer a call, Liu Yue couldn’t help but sit on the edge of Su Rui’s bedside and looked at her daughter perplexed.

Mother Su couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t it good for Yu Cheng to accompany you during your childbirth? Why do you still disagree?”

“Mum, you also agree with letting Yu Cheng accompany during the delivery?” Su Rui asked.

“That’s right.” Mother Su nodded and added, “It’s not easy for a woman to give birth. Although a man can’t do anything by standing there, it’s a kind of moral support for you if he can stand there.”

“Let Yu Cheng accompany you. At the same time, you can let him know how hard it is for his wife to give birth.”

“When I gave birth to you, I wanted your father to accompany me, but it wasn’t allowed.”

“I know…”Su Rui understands all the reasons Mother Su said.

“I’m afraid it will cause a trauma for him.”

About whether giving birth was as scary as how it was described online, Su Rui wasn’t sure since she hasn’t experienced it before.

However, just in case, she didn’t want Gu Yu Cheng to be traumatized by it.

Mother Su glanced at Su Rui and said, “What trauma can he have as a grown man?”magic

“That may not be true. I have read on the internet that many nonchalant men were shocked after witnessing their wives give birth.”

Although the matter about ‘accompanying one’s wife during her childbirth’ sounded quite warm and blissful, there were some practical issues that Su Rui had to consider.

Firstly, Gu Yu Cheng couldn’t really do much after accompanying her in the delivery room, and it might even distract her.

Secondly, the process of a woman giving birth is said to be quite bloody. It would be better if it doesn’t cause a trauma on this person.

It is fine if the trauma is temporary, but what if the image of her giving birth lingers in Gu Yu Cheng’s mind afterwards, especially if it is not a pleasant image and directly affects the harmony of their married life?

Su Rui blinked her eyes and said, “Moreover, I would be pretty ugly during childbirth, right? I don’t want him to see it.”

Even though both of them, as a couple, have lived together for a long time and it was common for them to live openly and honestly with one another. However, there were some sides Su Rui still didn’t want Gu Yu Cheng to see.

Mother Su snorted lightly after hearing Su Rui’s words.

Mother Su rolled her eyes and said, “What about it being ugly or not? You are giving birth to his child and he dares to find you ugly?”

But, after careful considerations, she felt that her daughter’s words were somewhat true.

“Fine, fine. I won’t care about this. You can consider yourself whether you want him to accompany you or not.”

Before Mother Su finished her sentence, she saw Gu Yu Cheng had already instructed some work, pushed the door and entered the room.He had been standing at the door when he was instructing a few things to Wang Zhou. Thus, he naturally heard the last few words of the conversation between Su Rui and Mother Su.Gu Yu Cheng walked over to the bedside, looked at Su Rui seriously and assured her, “I won’t be traumatized by it. And I won’t disdain you, at any time.”

……

Su Rui’s delivery date was three days earlier than expected.

Su Rui started having more noticeable contractions at noon.

Originally, she thought she might have to endure such pains for a whole day, or even longer.

However, in the evening, Su Rui’s contractions started to become more frequent. From the initial once every ten minutes to once every four or five minutes.

Taking advantage of the gap when her pain eased, Su Rui stared at the man in front of her, raised her head and smoothened Gu Yu Cheng’s furrowed brows. She gave a faint smile and teased, “Look at yourself, yet you still want to accompany me during the delivery with how tense you are now?”

At this moment, Gu Yu Cheng was so nervous that the corner of his mouth was already pursed into a straight line.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng did not say anything. He only took the woman’s hand that was placed on his brow and gently kissed the somewhat weak hand due to the pain.

Gu Yu Cheng said silently in his heart.

If one were to say that he regretted it, he was indeed a bit regretful now.

He regretted not being more careful at that time.

Even if they wanted to have a child, he should have waited for two more years when Su Rui was a little older.

……

Su Rui’s current condition was such that the doctor would come over every once in a while to check on her.

So Su Rui pushed Gu Yu Cheng away and let him stand next to her after seeing the doctor enter.

“It’s time.”

The moment Gu Yu Cheng heard the doctor’s words, he only felt his brain go blank.Before he could recollect himself, a group of doctors had already swiftly prepared and transferred Su Rui into the delivery room.
