However, the damage could not be erased. No matter how relieved Su Yuxuan had been all these years, just by looking at how he avoided those bees and butterflies like they were snakes and scorpions, he knew that this hurdle would definitely not be so easy to overcome.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Xiuqin was even more nervous and cautious when dealing with his marriage than she was with Su Yayan. She was afraid that she would be struck by lightning again if she was not careful.
Huo Chenhuan seemed to have sensed something. “Is that why you wanted to introduce Xiaoqi to your brother?”
“That’s right. At least I know everything about her. I can trust Xiaoqi’s character, and their personalities are very compatible.”
Unfortunately, someone appeared out of nowhere.
However, when Su Yayan thought about it now, she felt that her wishful thinking might not be a good thing for the two of them.
Forget it. Everyone had their own destiny. Since Ling Xiaoqi was not fated to be with her brother, her brother’s destiny must be with some unknown woman. She could not force it.
“That’s why I just said my brother is different. That woman hurt him far more than he thought. At this point, without someone to help push him, he might not have the courage to find his other half.”
Su Yayan paused and sighed. “Of course. Other than that, I want to find something for my mother to do.”
“You want to find something for your mother to do?” Huo Chenhuan picked up a towel at the side and helped Su Yayan dry her feet.
“Don’t you think you’re all too nervous?” Su Yayan reached out and held Huo Chenhuan’s cheek, so that he could only look up at her and make eye contact.
“Whether it is Mom or you, you’ve been too tense lately. This isn’t good.”
Although she knew that they were worried that she would suffer during labor, their emotions could easily affect the people around her.
Even if this was not their intention, some things could not be controlled.
“I’m sorry.” Huo Chenhuan held her hand. He thought that he had concealed it well, but he did not expect her to know all along.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. I know what you’re worried about.”
Su Yayan pressed Huo Chenhuan’s head against her stomach so that he could hear their baby’s strong heartbeat.
“It’ll be fine. Me and the baby, we’ll be fine.”
A dark glint flashed across Huo Chenhuan’s eyes, but his hands that hung by his sides never relaxed. “Yes.”
The little guy’s delivery was a few days earlier than the due date. It was a stormy night, and Su Yayan’s sudden early delivery flustered everyone in the Huo residence.
After realizing that something was wrong, Huo Chenhuan immediately picked up Su Yayan and rushed to the hospital.
Cheng Xiuqin lived next door to them so that it would be easier for her to take care of Su Yayan.
When she heard the commotion, she woke up from her sleep. Before she could pack anything, she followed her daughter and son-in-law into the car.
Su Yayan could feel her stomach writhing. At first, it was fine, but the pain became stronger and stronger, making her subconsciously clench Huo Chenhuan’s hand.
After a few rounds of pushing, their clasped hands were covered in sweat.
After finally enduring another wave of pain, Su Yayan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the person beside her. She was happy.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you paler than me?” If she did not know, she might even think that it was him who had given birth and not her!
Huo Chenhuan’s lips trembled, but he did not say anything in the end. He only hugged her tighter, as if this could stop Su Yayan from enduring the pain and held her tightly in his hand.
