In the end, Gu Yu Cheng did not enter the delivery room to accompany Su Rui because Su Rui did not let him do so.

Gu Yu Cheng waited outside the delivery room and sat silently in the chair. He appeared calmer than the other fathers-to-be.

At least, he appeared to be.

Only those who knew him really well would be able to tell— from the corners of Gu Yu Cheng’s pursed lips and the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead— that this man was currently very nervous.

Mrs Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and came forward to say, “Every woman has to experience giving birth to a child. Rui Rui’s body is fine and the medical technology in obstetrics is much more advanced than before, so you don’t need to be so nervous.”

At this moment, Mother Su and Mrs Gu were also waiting outside the delivery room.

Father Gu does not know anything about childbirth, so he didn’t come and is currently at home.

Father Su wanted to come. But it was just that Su Rui’s maternal grandparents, who had heard that their granddaughter was giving birth soon, travelled from afar to City B.Currently, Comrade Su is attending to his parents-in-law at home.

“Besides,” seeing Gu Yu Cheng’s current state, Yu Jing could not help but ridicule softly, “Are you only nervous now? And feeling apprehensive? I told you to be more mindful and try for a child two years later. But why didn’t you pay attention to it?”

Yu Jing was not just saying this to Gu Yu Cheng, she was also letting Liu Yue know of her stance.

“Okay, okay. Don’t criticize him anymore. It is normal for him to be nervous as a father for the first time,” Liu Yue said as she pulled Yu Jing back.

How could she not understand what Yu Jing was implying?

Although it was not one person’s responsibility, at first, Mother Su was still somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Yu Cheng for making her daughter pregnant so early and not keeping his original promise.

However, that little bit of discontent had long since dissipated as time went by as she watched Gu Yu Cheng treat her daughter with care and concern.magic

Now, she felt satisfied with Gu Yu Cheng no matter how she looked at him.

But Liu Yue did not say this in front of Yu Jing.

After all, everyone’s situation is different and every family has their own difficulties.

When she married Su Hong Yuan, this man was not that great. It was incomparable to Yu Jing, who married into the Gu family that has a big family and business.

But now that she thought about it, she was much happier.Thankfully, Gu Yu Cheng’s personality is more like Yu Jing’s, and not like his father’s.

“Let’s not talk about him. I am still nervous.” Mother Su changed the subject to something more light-hearted.

“And I don’t know if it is a brat or a little princess,” Liu Yue said.

Liu Yue and Yu Jing exchanged glances and saw in one another’s eyes the anticipation for an eldest paternal (little maternal) grandson.

Yu Jing said with a smile on her face, “It doesn’t matter. We’ve prepared a double portion of everything anyway.”

This was something that the two families have already discussed. Of course, Su Rui would stay in the Su family’s main residence during her confinement.

Then after her confinement and until the end of the period where she breastfeeds, the child will live in whichever side of the family Su Rui lived in. Anyway, both families prepared a nursery and professional nanny.

After the breastfeeding period, the elders of both sides of the family would take turns to take care of the child while Su Rui works on her graduation project and attends her internship.

“That’s true.”

“Oh, right.” Liu Yue thought of something and spoke, “When I was looking at my Moments[1] previously, I saw that Mrs Li’s second child had also given birth?”

“You are talking about the one from Taihua Group?”

“Yes, I am referring to her. I saw her post of a baby swimming tub in her Moments. It also has some kind of water jet function. It looks good.”

“Is that so?” Hearing Mother Su say this, Mrs Gu’s eyes also lit up.

“What kind?” Mrs Gu approached her and asked excitedly, “Is it still in her Moments? If it is still there, let’s also buy one? No, let’s buy two. We can put them in our families’ residences.”

“I think it is still there. Let me find it. And there is also that stroller she uses at home to push the baby out. I think it is also quite good.”

“Then let me see it too. If it’s better than the ones we bought previously, we’ll replace ours with hers.”
