When Ling Tianya woke up, she had already left the operating theater and had returned to her room. The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Ruan Zeyan. However, he seemed more exhausted than her.
He lowered his body and lightly kissed Ling Tianya’s forehead, “Does it still hurt?”
“It hurts. Hurts to death…” she thought.
The anesthetics had worn off, and Ling Tianya felt that even if she were to move slightly, she would be in extreme pain.
However, seeing her husband’s doting eyes, she could not say that she was in extreme pain and thus, she lightly shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt one bit.”
“How could it possibly not hurt? Your stomach was slashed.” Madame Ruan walked over. “Ling girl, you have worked hard. You have given birth to a chubby son for the Ruan Family!”
It was at this moment that Ling Tianya finally found out the child’s sex. “So it’s a boy.”
There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. She had wanted a daughter, an obedient, sensible and soft daughter.
“That’s right!” Wang Yazhi was so happy that she looked like she could sprout flowers. “Yaya. My good Yaya. Mom loves you so much! I finally have a grandson! My eldest grandson!” Wang Yazhi raised her eyebrows. “So, Yaya, you never knew the child’s sex?”
Ling Tianya nodded. “I had no idea. I never asked.”
Wang Yazhi grew angry. “I don’t know who spread the rumor that you were pregnant with a daughter. Originally, I really believed that you were pregnant with a girl and therefore, I secretly bought the child enough dresses to last her until she’s five. In the end, it was all a waste!”
Madame Ruan laughed upon hearing Wang Yazhi’s words. “What do you mean it’s a waste? In the future, when the Ling girl gives birth to a girl, won’t she be able to wear them?”
“By then, they’ll all be out of style!” Wang Yazhi slanted her mouth. “How could my granddaughter wear dresses that are out of style? Ai! There’s no other way. I can only gift these things to other people. Tomorrow, I will go and buy some things for a boy!.”
Seeing Madame Ling and Wang Yazhi’s reactions, Ling Tianya understood that, in reality, they had all wanted a boy. However, they never said that to her and never put her under any pressure.
It was good that it was a boy. At the very least, he had achieved the wishes of his elders. As for a daughter, she was still young. She could give birth again in two years.
However, she kept this thought to herself and didn’t say anything.
Ruan Zeyan held Ling Tianya’s hand and lightly kissed the corner of her mouth. “Thank you.”
His voice was hoarse, and his beautiful eyes had hints of red in them. When everyone else was concerned about the child, he was still concerned about her. Ling Tianya was very fulfilled.
Ling Tianya had just given birth. The doctor instructed that she was not allowed to move for six hours and could only lie flat on the bed.
“Where’s the baby?” Ling Tianya looked around the room. She couldn’t see the child nor hear any crying.
Wang Yazhi smiled. “He’s been taken to be bathed. Your father followed. He didn’t know whether they would let him in but he followed them anyway.”
Ling Tianya nodded. The surgery had taken all of her energy, and she now felt that her entire body was weak. The knife wound in her stomach also hurt.
Ruan Zeyan placed Ling Tianya’s arms under the blanket. “If you’re tired, sleep a little longer.”
“Okay.” Ling Tianya slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Old Fifth and Old Seventh were pacing in the hospital hallway, utterly embarrassed.
“Didn’t they say that it was a girl? Why did it turn into a boy?” Old Seventh complained.
“You ask me. Who should I ask? That’s what the rumor is outside. Who would have known that it was fake news? Now everything’s good. We made a huge fool of ourselves and offended everyone from the mansion,” Old Fifth unhappily said.
