Chapter 362 - We're Going to the Hospital

As her due date approaching, Li Qin Yao has been staying at home with her husband accompanying her. These days, she was too lazy to move around, and standing for too long would hurt her back and legs.

On that evening, Li Qin Yao was sitting in the living room with her phone in her hand as she was video calling her friend, Fan Yun Xi. Almost five months ago, her friend had given birth to a cute daughter called Mo Qing Huan.

The little girl's skin was white and there was a tinge of pink and the cheek resembled an apple. Truly adorable. Looking at the little girl's cute and tender face, Li Qin Yao had the urge to bite at her cheek. 

"Huan Huan," Li Qin Yao waved at her through her camera, and the little girl flailed her hands and feet in excitement while bubbling some words. Her eyes were staring back at the camera and then her small hand tried to reach for her.

Suddenly, Huan Huan's image went farther and Fan Yun Xi's face showed up. 

"Huan Huan, you cannot touch this," Fan Yun Xi said. She then lifted the little girl into her arms and the mother and child appeared on the screen together.

"Yun Xi, your daughter is too cute," Li Qin Yao said. 

"She is, isn't she?" Fan Yun Xi said before she bent to kiss her daughter's cheek.

"I want to take a bite at her cheek too," Li Qin Yao commented.

Hearing her friend's words, Fan Yun Xi playfully blocked her daughter's cheek with her hands. Then, her hands moved in a circular motion as if she was giving her daughter a face massage.

Feeling her mother's touch, little Huan Huan let out a sharp yelp before she tried to stop her mother from squeezing her cheek. Her face turned redder as she was frustrated with the way her mother would always squeeze and pinch at her cheek.

"Looking at Huan Huan, she began to resembled Senior Mo. Especially with that eyes and lips," Li Qin Yao commented.

Fan Yun Xi laughed. "My pretty daughter is going to grow up looking like her father. I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing."

"Why would it be a bad thing?"

"It's good if my daughter resembled his father. I'm worried that she had her uncle's personality." Fan Yun Xi spoke in a hushed voice.

"Impossible," Li Qin Yao said. "Huan Huan looked so cheery and playful like his father."

"You think so?" Fan Yun Xi turned to look at her daughter and her gaze softened. She then turned to the camera again. "Yao Yao, when will you give birth? Next time, let's meet up and bring our child along. Our daughters could be friends."

"If everything goes well, I should give birth next week," Li Qin Yao said lowered her gaze to her stomach.

The two friends talked for half an hour until Huan Huan cried to ask for milk. Once the call ended, Li Qin Yao walked over to the guest room where Zhang Yu Han was sitting behind his computer.

Worried that his wife might slip while climbing up and down the stairs with her big stomach, Zhang Yu Han had suggested they temporarily moved to the guest room downstairs. This way, it would be easier for his wife to move around.

Zhang Yu Han lifted his head and smiled upon seeing his wife. "Finished with your call?" He immediately stood up and walked over to support her.

Once she was seated on the sofa, Li Qin Yao looked at the man beside him with an adorable expression on her face. "I'm hungry."

Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle and was about to head out to look for Auntie Su when his wife tugged at her sleeve.

"I want to eat something that you cook." She thought for a while and continued, "Zhang Yu Han, I want to eat tomato and egg rice."

"Just that?" Zhang Yu Han raised a brow. He watched her nod and patted at her head. "Alright. Wait here for a while. I'll go and prepare them now."

A smile bloomed on her face as she heard his words. She then followed him out and headed to the kitchen together. Auntie Su stared at them in surprise and retreated to busy herself with something else once she heard that Zhang Yu Han wanted to cook for his wife.

Li Qin Yao immediately took a seat in the kitchen counter bar and propped her chin with her hands as she watched her husband started to crack some eggs into the bowl.

A few minutes later, a serving of rice and tomato egg dishes appeared in front of her. Since Auntie Su had cooked some rice earlier on, Zhang Yu Han only had to prepare the tomato egg dishes.

Seeing the piping hot dishes in front of her, Li Qin Yao felt her stomach started to grumble. The red tomato with the golden yellow egg looked very appetizing at the moment. She picked up her spoon and scooped a mouthful of the dishes.

"How was it?" Zhang Yu Han asked. He saw the way her face crinkled and was worried that he had sprinkled too much salt into the dishes. "Too salty?"

Li Qin Yao scooped another spoonful and blew at it to cool it down. Then, she turned to Zhang Yu Han. "Here. Taste it."

Zhang Yu Han leaned forward to take a bite from her spoon. The frown on his face immediately disappeared when he saw the mischievous smile on her face. He then went to her side and pinched at his wife's cheek before making her feed him some of the food.

Just as she was taking another mouthful of her food, Zhang Yu Han noticed the frown on her face. This frown was different than her usual frown. This time, it looked as if she was trying to bear something painful.

"What's wrong? Qin Yao?" Zhang Yu Han shifted his gaze to her stomach. "The baby is kicking again?"

Li Qin Yao reached her hand to hold her husband's arms and gripped it tightly until her nails dug in his skin. Seconds later, the pain subsided and she turned to her husband with a slightly paled face. "I think I'm having contractions."

Hearing her words, Zhang Yu Han stared at his wife nervously.

"Don't worry. Didn't Doctor Qiao said that I can have contractions earlier before the date?"

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Zhang Yu Han knew that he would not stop worrying until the doctor ȧssured him that his wife was alright. "We're going to the hospital," he decided. Then he turned around and shouted for Auntie Su to grab the bag that they have prepared previously before he called Qi Zheng and tell him to get ready.
