Chapter 1179: The most nerve-wrecking moments (2/2)

He was about to walk over when Zhao mama blocked his way. “Your Highness, I’m sure the princess doesn’t want you to see her present state.”

“I’ve already seen it!” Long Feiye glared back.

Zhao mama shut up. She knew if she said any more, His Highness would send her flying with a kick. She could only remain silent and wait for the princess to chase out His Highness personally.

Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi only reached out her hand for Long Feiye when he drew near. Zhao mama was flabbergasted by the sight. As expected, I can’t treat the princess’s thoughts with conventional wisdom.

Han Yunxi was waiting for Long Feiye to show up. She could endure the pain, but not the pressure of childbirth. Even the strongest woman needed a stronger man to depend on in the end. He didn’t have to give her much, but it had to be timely support!

Fourth Young Miss Ren was also dumbfounded when Long Feiye came over with the bowl of chicken soup.

“Does she drink it now?” Long Feiye asked.

Han Yunxi exhaled to suppress the pain and gripped the bed to sit up before the next wave of contractions hit. “Yes, right now. I haven’t eaten yet so I’m almost out of energy!”

Long Feiye quickly fed her himself, spoon by spoon. “Be careful, it’s hot.”

Fourth Young Miss Ren was left at a loss as she stared at the two. She thought Han Yunxi would cry after Long Feiye showed up, or shouted that she was in pain, but she only grew calmer.

In many instances, women were forced to be strong because there was no one else to rely on but themselves. That was why even the strongest women could fall apart once a man showed up, crying that they hurt like a little girl.

But Han Yunxi was different!

While bearing the immense pressure and pain, Long Feiye’s appearance only made her stronger! That was the hallmark of a truly strong woman!

Han Yunxi drank quickly and Long Feiye fed her rapidly in turn. Heaven knows whether Long Feiye often fed Han Yunxi, but his movements were practiced and familiar. In a bit, Han Yunxi finished the entire bowl of soup. She squeezed his hand tightly before letting go. “Long Feiye, can you wait outside?” she asked.

Long Feiye had no idea that Han Yunxi had rapid labor, so he was a little hesitant. But very soon he nodded. After brushing back the hair plastered to her face, he kissed her forehead and immediately went outside.

Han Yunxi quickly lied back down. Perhaps the chicken soup had bolstered her strength, or Long Feiye’s presence did the trick, but she said, “Fourth Young Miss Ren, I have energy now. It’s starting to hurt again, so let’s try again!”

Fourth Young Miss Ren had seen her share of strong mothers, but she was certain Han Yunxi was the most admirable one. She had the two nurses rejoin them and regulate Han Yunxi’s breathing before preparing to push. Zhao mama’s gaze followed Long Feiye until he left before she recovered her senses.

“Only the princess is capable of subduing His Highness…” she muttered to herself.

Long Feiye was calm in front of Han Yunxi, but his nervousness returned outside the tent. All of Rear Camp knew that the princess was giving birth, but no one dared to draw near. Only Chu Xifeng was standing guard by Long Feiye’s side. Long Feiye paced back and forth while Chu Xifeng followed tensely behind him.

Suddenly, Long Fiye stopped, scaring Chu Xifeng into hastily backing away.

“Why...don’t I hear her screaming?” Long Feiye asked.

Aren’t women supposed to scream and yell while giving birth?

Chu Xifeng noticed the problem and stammered for a while before admitting, “This subordinate...this subordinate doesn’t know about such things!”

Long Feiye began to pace again, but soon enough he heard a clear wailing from inside the tent.

The baby was born!

Long Feiye halted as he felt the entire world fall silent except for that cry!

The baby was born!

Han Yunxi gave birth!

“It’s born!” he muttered to himself, feeling a mixture of excitement, anxiety, surprise, and various other complicated emotions.
