Inside the hospital
Both Lu Dinghua and Ning Zhenguo rushed over. The doctor and nurses all pushed Ning Qing into the labour suite and said, “Sorry, there are too many people here. You all cannot be inside. There can only be one person maximum”
“One person?” Song Yajing said, then continued, “Shaoming, you….”
Lu Shaoming had already made his way in.

Inside the delivery suite
Ning Qing was lying on the operating table, her face was pale white, and because of the vigorous pain, her entire forehead was covered in sweat, and her hair was messily stuck to the side of her cheeks.
The doctor said, “New mom, relax, and take a deep breath in. Breath in. Use your strength…”
“Ah!” Ning Qing’s two small hands were firmly holding onto the bed sheets. She was using all of her strength to no avail. Tears trickled down her face, and she said, “It hurts so much! it hurts so much…”
“Wifey.” Lu Shaoming put on protective gear, and he quickly ran over. He bent down and held onto Ning Qing’s small hand while giving her a kiss. “Wifey, don’t be afraid. Listen to the doctor’s instructions. Little Young Master Lu will be here in a moment.”
Ning Qing had never experienced this type of pain. It turned out that giving birth is a painful process. She cried while shaking her head. “Hubby, it’s not possible. I can’t… It hurts! It really hurts…”
Lu Shaoming looked at her small, tear filled face, and he pitied her greatly. He comforted her gently. “Wifey, be good. Press on for a little while longer. Think about our little Young Master Lu.”
Little Young Master Lu?
Ning Qing clenched her teeth and exerted her strength.
Surprised, the doctor exclaimed, “New mommy, you are doing well. Use your strength; we already can see the baby’s head!”
Lu Shaoming caressed Ning Qing’s forehead and said, “Wifey, did you hear that? Little Young Master Lu’s head is already out. Wifey, keep pus.h.i.+ng. Once you’re done, it won’t hurt anymore.”
Ning Qing bit down on her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood. Lu Shaoming looked on and quickly kissed her. “Wifey, let go. Don’t hurt yourself. If you want to bite something, then bite me instead.”
The doctor saw that the pregnant lady was already exerting her strength, and if she gave another push, the baby would definitely be out. But the pregnant woman’s entire body softened, and she did not have any strength.
The doctor found this odd. He glanced over and he said angrily, “Sir, you cannot kiss her now. Didn’t you see that when you kiss your wife, she softens up? How can she give birth to the child like this?”
The doctors and nurses in the room all laughed.
“Sorry, sorry.” Lu Shaoming quickly left Ning Qing’s lips. He swallowed his saliva, and he was panting as he looked on. He did not have any experience with this, and when he saw her in pain, he just wanted to kiss her.
He did not know that giving birth to a child would make her suffer this much. She was only a 21 year old girl, after all.
Ning Qing looked at the man’s awkward expression and suddenly had a smile on her small face.
At this moment, a wave of painful contractions came. “Ah!” she bellowed out while her two hands were clenched onto the bed sheets as she used all of her strength….
“Wa wa….” The ear piercing cries of a baby rang out in the air.
Lu Shaoming stood up slowly and turned his gaze to look.
It was 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The faint glow of the sunset filtered through the window, showering them in a sea of warm gold hues. He could only see the doctor carrying a baby over. “Sir, congratulations. It is a son, 7.3 pounds; both mother and son are healthy.”
It was a son…
At the start, there was one voice ringing in Lu Shaoming’s ears, then numerous voices, and after that, the entire world was telling him, “Lu Shaoming, you have a son.”
The doctor handed the baby over. Lu Shaoming stretched out his hand to receive him. It was such a tiny bundle; he was like a tiny dot…
Lu Shaoming carried the baby in front of Ning Qing. He bent down and gave her a look. Now that he could kiss her, he kissed her forehead lightly and said, “Wifey, look! This is the little Young Master Lu that you’ve given birth to for me. Our Little Young Master Lu…”
Ning Qing’s entire body was covered with sweat. She stretched out her hand to touch the baby’s face. He was great. He was their Little Young Master Lu.
Ning Qing closed her eyes.
Lu Shaoming looked at Ning Qing close her eyes, and his expression changed. “Ning Qing, Ning…”
“Sir,” the doctor said quickly. “Don’t be nervous sir. The new mother is very fatigued at this moment. She is asleep now, so we must let the new mother have some rest. Don’t disturb her.”
Lu Shaoming was still worried, he stretched out his hand to touch Ning Qing’s small face. “Is she really sleeping?”
The doctor laughed and said, “Sir, you do not need to worry. She really is just sleeping.”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head.

Inside the hospital ward
Lu Dinghua, Song Yajing, Yue Wanqing, and Ning Zhenguo were all gathered beside the stroller. “Everyone look at Little Young Master Lu, his features look like Shaoming’s, but his eyes and lips are like our Qingqing.”
“Haha, that’s right. The genes that Mummy and Daddy pa.s.sed down are so good. Little Young Master Lu is guaranteed to be a handsome little fella.” The grandparents were chatting merrily.
At that moment, Lu Shaoming was lying on the wall. One of his hands was in his pocket. He looked through the tiny gap into the stroller. The mustard-yellow blanket was wrapped around Little Young Master Lu. Little Young Master Lu’s hair was black and full, like his mother’s dark locks. Only because he was so tiny, his skin was red and wrinkly. He slept from the moment he was born, and he did not open his eyes. How could they tell who he resembled? The grandparents were talking nonsense.
At this moment, a doctor that pa.s.sed by the corridor. Lu Shaoming quickly asked, “Doctor, how come my wife is still not awake? She has been asleep for 2 hours already.”
The doctor gave a helpless smile. In the span of these two hours, this Young Master Lu had asked this same question several times.
He was way too nervous.
