Chapter 274

Xu Yunzheng once again insisted on refusing. He was not tired; he needed to wait for his mother to come out.

Shen Tianzheng glanced at his phone. It was already past 10 pm, and Shen Lv had also arrived.

Time ticked by slowly. Being located on a high level, the birthing room had a window that provided a distant view at a glance.

In the distance was an endless sea of lights. Rong City was economically advanced. Despite the decrease in permanent population during the New Year, there was still irresistible enthusiasm on New Year's Eve.

Everywhere, there were big red lanterns. From the window, one could gaze upon the iconic building of Rong City - The Glory Moon Tower.

The tower was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. Although the sound couldn't reach, the program was faintly visible.

The little one struggled to keep his eyes open, but in the end, he couldn't resist his sleep schedule. He fell asleep around New Year's Eve.

However, he didn't sleep for long. Around midnight, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks started ringing one after another.

The sleepy toddler opened his eyes.

Just after midnight, a baby's cry was heard from the delivery room.

Xu Yunzheng perked up at once. He jumped down from the chair. Shen Lv, Fang Yue, and Shen Tianzheng stood up as well. They finally made it. The time when Fang Yue had Shen Yin was fraught with difficulty, casting a shadow over the two. They sat by the door, the unease within them inexpressible.

But now, they had finally relaxed.

"It's the first baby of the New Year. This little princess has such perfect timing. As soon as the New Year's bell tolled, she came into the world."

A doctor joked as he walked out.

Later, after having a series of checkups in the delivery room, Shen Yin was wheeled out by the medical staff.

In the ward, Shen Yin was still weak. Fang Yue had used everything she had prepared, and the adults were eager to see the newborn baby.

"This child is so handsome, just like Yin when she was a kid. Look at your small eyes and this mouth."

Fang Yue was astounded.

"Let me see."

Shen Tianzheng impatiently leaned in.

"The baby's smiling."

"I want to see my sister smile." The little one strained his neck, silently wishing he were taller.

"Uncle, Yunzheng wants to see his sister."

"What, I didn't hear you correctly." Shen Lv, acting childishly, teased Yunzheng.

"Uncle, lift me up now so I can see my sister."

Xu Yunzheng pushed his feet upwards.

"What's in it for me?" Shen Lv asked.

"Tell Uncle, why is there a 'Strawberry teacher'? Do you also have an 'Apple teacher', and 'Orange teacher'?"

"Uncle, how did you know? But Yunzheng likes 'Strawberry teacher' the most because she said my mom is pretty!"

"You naughty!"

Shen Lv and Yunzheng's conversation was very soft, and Shen Tianzheng who was walking in front of them could only hear them whispering, but couldn't hear what they were saying.

"You two, hurry up, why are you walking so slowly?"

Shen Tianzheng turned his head around.

"Dad, you should tell me to hurry up."

Yunzheng fell asleep as soon as they got in the car.

The following day, early in the morning, fireworks were set off in every household of Yuelan Manor. It was Chinese New Year, hence the sounds of fireworks. The New Year atmosphere was still very festive. Shen Tianzheng had ordered the maids in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After the three generations had breakfast, they packed some to bring to the hospital.

Shen Yin was still asleep in the morning, while Xu Xiuhe woke up pretty early. His phone was filled with messages and red packets from friends sent during the New Year countdown.

"[Xiuhe, what's going on with you and your wife? Neither of you said anything in the group chat.]"

Chang Zhiyuan was the most brash, @ing Xu Xiuhe several times in the group chat.

"[There's nothing I can do. At the very first second of the New Year, we greeted our little princess.]"

"[Whoa, your wife gave birth? After midnight?]"

Xu Xiuhe sent an expression of 'of course.'

Then he remembered something, walked to the couch inside, took out some documents from his bag.

Fang Yue also woke up, seeing the baby, who was wide awake.

"I'll go out and call Shen Lv to bring some food over, we two can make do, but Yin Yin and the baby cannot."

Shen Yin woke up just when Fang Yue left the room.

"Where's the baby?"

Xu Xiuhe picked up the baby from the cot and handed her over to Shen Yin.

"She's pretty beautiful."

"Shen Yin said truthfully.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is for the baby, keep it safe for her."

After saying this, Xu Xiuhe handed over the document he was holding to Shen Yin.

"The acquisition document of the Xu Group?"

Shen Yin held it in her hand. So the busy days before the Lunar New Year, was Xu Xiuhe busy all the time because of this?
