Shen Yi truly hoped in his heart that this child would be a daughter, one who resembled Ye Wanwan.
He had seen many photos and even videos of Ye Wanwan as a little girl, who was incredibly well-behaved and adorable, just like a little princess.
She would constantly cling to adults, cooing and acting spoiled, and when she was sad and crying, it made one want to give their life for her!
The more he thought this way, the less satisfied Shen Yi became with the Ji Family’s newborn child, who had just been born half a month prior.
After all, this was the person currently most coveting his precious daughter!
Ye Wanwan was suddenly jolted awake by pain in the midst of her sleep; when she awoke from the pain, there was no one by her side, and only dim light illuminated the bedroom.
"Hiss!" Ye Wanwan could not help but sharply inhale from the pain before she noticed the sound of trickling water coming from the restroom—it must be Shen Yi taking a shower.
"Shen Yi!" Ye Wanwan subconsciously called out, but the pain made her voice come out almost soundlessly.
Fortunately, it was just a contraction. After it passed, Ye Wanwan gathered some strength and called out louder, "Shen Yi!"
The sound of water from the shower ceased abruptly, and Ye Wanwan assumed Shen Yi must have heard her. Just as she was about to call out again, the bathroom door opened, and Shen Yi came out.
Shen Yi had initially only heard a faint voice and wasn’t sure if it was really calling him, but he couldn’t help turning off the water to check.
It was a good thing he came out!
Shen Yi hurriedly threw on his clothes, then dashed towards Ye Wanwan.
"Wanwan, what’s wrong?" Shen Yi rushed to Ye Wanwan’s side, asking anxiously.
Another contraction hit Ye Wanwan, her forehead already coated with a fine sheen of sweat; she gritted her teeth and said, "Don’t worry, there’s still time to get to the hospital."
Shen Yi nodded vigorously, then quickly called for the family driver. The driver had the car ready in advance, and Shen Yi carried Ye Wanwan downstairs and headed to the hospital.
As for the other elders at home, the servants would inform them. There was no need to worry about Zhouzhou either; he was already resting, and Auntie Yang was taking care of him.
On the way to the hospital, both Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi were relatively calm.
Okay, actually, Shen Yi was very nervous at heart, but he feared that his emotions would affect Ye Wanwan, so he kept feigning calmness.
The two even discussed whether the baby would be a boy or a girl, what the nickname should be, and whether the baby should take the surname Shen or Ye.
Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctors examined Ye Wanwan’s condition and immediately wheeled her into the operating room; naturally, Shen Yi accompanied her inside.
The last time Ye Wanwan gave birth to Zhouzhou, everything had happened so suddenly that Shen Yi arrived too late to enter the delivery room—so he hadn’t been able to accompany Ye Wanwan then, but today, he made it in time.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Wanwan was somewhat out of it; she only remembered a period when the pain was almost unbearable, yet the baby still wasn’t born.
It was the first time Shen Yi saw Ye Wanwan in such a grimaced, tormented state, the operating room even smelled strongly of blood, but Shen Yi seemed completely unaffected, as all his focus was on Ye Wanwan.
Just by watching Ye Wanwan, Shen Yi couldn’t help but tear up; it was the first time he was directly facing the process of Ye Wanwan giving birth, seeing her expression was enough to imagine how much pain she was in.
