Psst! We're moving!
Chi Suisui didn’t hear He Xingwang’s confession while she slept.
For her, actions spoke louder than words. Having known He Xingwang for so long, she understood what was in his heart and never doubted his love for her.
A week later, they took the maternity photos. Afterward, Chi Suisui and He Xingwang went for another prenatal checkup and roughly arranged plans for the due date.
At night, her legs began to cramp, often requiring He Xingwang to massage them.
Originally, Song Miaoli and Gu Nanxuan planned to hold their wedding in October, but Song Miaoli refused, wanting Chi Suisui to attend. In the end, like Chi Suisui, they first obtained their marriage certificate and decided to hold the wedding next spring when flowers would bloom.
As the due date approached, Chi Suisui’s body became very cumbersome.
However, in this situation, her mood improved significantly.
Perhaps it was the anticipation of giving birth and returning to her previous form that made her both excited and nervous.
“Boss Chi, have you decided on a name?” Su Mian asked.
“Not yet,” Chi Suisui replied, eating a slice of fruit. “Naming is too difficult, and we need names for both boys and girls.”
“If naming is hard for you, raising a child will be even harder,” Song Miaoli said, lounging on the couch playing games. “Do you have a nickname?”
“Nothing at all.”
As an expectant mother, Chi Suisui hadn’t thought of anything.
On the other hand, her and He Xingwang’s fans were quite concerned, suggesting countless names for both formal and nicknames, listing them in the super topic.
Chi Suisui would occasionally browse through them.
“He Xingwang must have some ideas; it’s not in his nature to be unprepared,” Song Miaoli said, seeking agreement. “Little Cotton, don’t you think?”
Su Mian nodded. “Right!”
Chi Suisui raised an eyebrow.
Just as she was about to say something, a sharp pain hit her abdomen, and she felt wetness below. Her first thought was that her water had broken.
Sure enough!
“I think I’m going into labor,” Chi Suisui said, moving slightly and feeling the amniotic fluid flow faster.
“What?!”
Song Miaoli and Su Mian immediately stood up from the couch. “Quick, call an ambulance and send her to the hospital!”
Su Mian dialed for an ambulance, while Song Miaoli casually typed in the game chat, “Sorry, gotta go, having a baby.”
Teammates: ?
Is there really someone who leaves mid-game to give birth?
Compared to the flustered Su Mian and Song Miaoli, Chi Suisui remained calm, calling the housekeeper and sending a message to He Xingwang.
“Don’t panic,” she reassured them.
“How can we not panic when you’re about to give birth? Does it hurt? Should you stand or lie down?” Song Miaoli’s face tensed.
“…”
Not long after, Chi Suisui was taken to the hospital.
Since everything had been arranged months ago, there was no delay upon arrival. Thanks to her prenatal exercises, the baby was in the correct position.
The premature labor was unexpected by He Xingwang.
When Song Miaoli called, he was attending an economic forum with a row of reporters flashing cameras below.
Then everyone watched as He Xingwang walked away.
Within a minute of answering the call, he left the venue, and the host announced his departure.
The reporters whispered among themselves.
“Why did Mr. He suddenly leave?”
“What could be so important that he skipped the meeting?”
“Has anything happened with He Corporation recently?”
Regardless of the media’s speculation, He Xingwang was already rushing to the hospital. Minutes later, news headlines reported his abrupt absence from the meeting.
As for the reason, no one knew.
However, the paparazzi’s keen sense for news was evident. Upon hearing the news, they quickly investigated He Xingwang’s whereabouts.
In the internet age, hiding one’s movements was nearly impossible.
Soon, insiders revealed that He Xingwang likely went to the hospital. With a bit of imagination—there was an 80% chance Chi Suisui was giving birth.
This was big news.
The paparazzi rushed to the location, only to be stopped at the hospital entrance, barred from entering.
A group of them looked at each other, unable to see anyone, let alone whether a boy or girl was born.
But that didn’t stop them from writing headlines.
________________________________________
The ward area had been cleared.
Being a VIP room, and to prevent media intrusion, only doctors and nurses were present on the floor.
Chi Suisui was eating while Song Miaoli and Su Mian anxiously asked, “Are you eating too much?”
“The doctor told me to eat,” Chi Suisui justified confidently.
“The doctor didn’t say to eat excessively,” Song Miaoli countered.
As they were talking, He Xingwang strode in from outside.
He expected to see Chi Suisui in unbearable pain, but instead, she was munching on food while bickering with Song Miaoli.
“…”
“He Xingwang,” Chi Suisui called out, looking up.
He Xingwang walked over, helping her walk slowly. “Not in pain?”
“How could I not be in pain?” Chi Suisui frowned. “If only men could give birth, then I’d ask you how it feels.”
“…”
He couldn’t help but think.
The doctor came over to ask a few questions. After she left, Chi Suisui, leaning on He Xingwang’s arm, asked, “Do you want a boy or a girl?”
During the pregnancy, she hadn’t broached this topic.
Even if she had, she forgot.
He Xingwang glanced at Song Miaoli and Su Mian nearby, whispering in her ear, “I’d prefer both.”
Chi Suisui laughed. “You’re so greedy.”
Of course, that was impossible.
If it were twins, the doctor would have informed them during the prenatal checkups. Now, nearing labor, there was zero chance.
“You asked what I wanted, so naturally, I imagined both,” He Xingwang said calmly. “Our child, regardless of gender, is perfect.”
This satisfied Chi Suisui.
She took the opportunity to steal a kiss, leaving He Xingwang helpless.
Song Miaoli and Su Mian, tired of watching the couple’s affection, had already gone elsewhere.
As time passed, the Qi and He families received the news and rushed to the hospital, including Chi Suisui’s grandparents.
A large crowd gathered.
Hours later, Chi Suisui was taken to the delivery room. The doctor suggested He Xingwang accompany her, but Chi Suisui, still lucid, declined. “No accompanying.”
From her research, childbirth was not a pretty sight.
“It’s fine,” He Xingwang assured.
“It’s not fine for me. Do you want to see me look ugly?” Chi Suisui argued.
He Xingwang thought for a moment. “No, you’ve always been beautiful.”
Although touched, Chi Suisui still refused him entry. However, He Xingwang ignored her wishes.
In reality, the delivery was smooth. Not long after entering, the baby was born. Chi Suisui’s imagined “heart-wrenching screams” and “stomach-tearing cries” never materialized.
Exhausted, Chi Suisui’s eyelids drooped. “Where’s my baby?”
The doctor brought the baby over, placing her beside Chi Suisui. “It’s a girl. Look how cute she is.”
“Why does she look so ugly?” Chi Suisui frowned, thinking the doctor was just saying polite words. “Did you mix her up?”
Used to such comments, the doctor calmly reassured the new mother, “Newborns all look like this at first. She’ll improve in a few days.”
With such good-looking parents, the child was bound to be beautiful.
“Alright,” Chi Suisui said.
“Suisui, you’re overthinking,” He Xingwang chuckled softly, reminding her, “This isn’t a TV drama.”
Truthfully, his first impression was also that she looked ugly.
But everyone says babies grow into their looks. His daughter would surely be beautiful.
Outside, the dozen or so people waiting anxiously rushed to the door when it opened, bombarding them with questions.
Learning the delivery went smoothly, everyone sighed in relief.
Song Miaoli exhaled deeply. She was terrified of childbirth because of all the horror stories about pain and suffering.
Coming here was partly to observe beforehand.
If it was too painful, even Chi Suisui couldn’t bear it, then she might reconsider having children and discuss it with Gu Nanxuan.
Now, it seemed manageable, not too terrifying.
Song Miaoli pondered. Maybe having a baby wasn’t so bad, even though she had just obtained her marriage certificate not long ago.
“I haven’t even seen the baby,” Su Mian pouted sadly.
Jiang Huiming and Chi Meiyan were focused on Chi Suisui, receiving reassurances before checking the baby. The elders took turns, leaving Su Mian unable to get close.
Song Miaoli consoled her, “Don’t worry, you’ll see soon.”
Stretching her neck, Su Mian finally caught a glimpse of a flushed little face, eyes still closed.
It was hard to tell if she was cute.
But the elders weren’t ordinary. They started praising the baby, as if she were a celestial being descended to earth.
Su Mian: Can’t compare, can’t compare.
________________________________________
While the hospital was filled with joy, the outside world exploded.
The trending search showed “Chi Suisui gave birth.” Netizens thought clicking would reveal the baby’s photo, only to find a picture of the hospital gate.
[What are you showing us????]
[One picture to start, the rest is all talk.]
[Born, born, born. This month has been “born” three times already. Each time I clicked, it turned out fake.]
[Did the editor give birth themselves?]
Netizens lambasted the news mercilessly.
Recently, due to lack of major news, whenever Chi Suisui didn’t appear for a few days or He Xingwang stayed home longer, the media speculated about childbirth.
They developed PTSD from Chi Suisui’s “birth” rumors.
Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, when the real news came, few believed it.
Only after the official announcement did everyone realize—it was true. Did they criticize wrongly?
Chi Suisui only posted a picture of her daughter’s tiny feet on her Weibo.
[Ahhhh, she really gave birth!]
[Such cute little feet, I want to pinch them!]
[I’m not the first person to stare at this picture for half an hour, right?]
[You’re not alone, me too!]
[What’s the baby’s name? Waaa, Boss Chi, tell us quick!]
Chi Suisui thought she hadn’t decided on a name yet.
As two months passed, the newborn, whom she initially found ugly, gradually transformed into a little beauty. Her black, shiny eyes sparkled with clarity when she blinked.
Almost everyone adored her.
At night, Chi Suisui, uneasy about sleeping, kept the baby in her room. The little one slept all day.
“Your daughter is so tiny,” she said, turning to He Xingwang.
“She’s your daughter too,” He Xingwang replied.
“Let’s just call her Zhi Zhi,” Chi Suisui raised her eyebrows. “Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi. I think it sounds nice.”
He Xingwang had no chance to object.
The peacefully sleeping Zhi Zhi seemed to hear her mother’s call, flipped over, and lay on her stomach like a little turtle.
Adorable.
Zhi Zhi was beloved from birth, symbolizing four generations under one roof for both the He and Qi families.
Chi Suisui loved placing her finger in Zhi Zhi’s tiny palm, which would grasp it softly and cutely.
Song Miaoli tried to sneak the baby away every time she visited. “Why is Zhi Zhi so cute!”
Chi Suisui said, “If you think she’s cute, go have your own.”
Song Miaoli retorted, “Do you think giving birth is easy?”
Chi Suisui said, “It is easy.”
Song Miaoli: ...
Why was she discussing this with a new mother?
With the addition of a baby, Chi Suisui’s life didn’t change much. Two aunties were at home, and her parents frequently visited, often pushing her aside.
Perhaps all mothers liked to show off their babies. Chi Suisui enjoyed photographing Zhi Zhi, from birth to growth, with a dedicated album. Occasionally, she’d post cute or funny expressions on Weibo, but sparingly.
Too much of a good thing was not wise, and Chi Suisui understood this well.
He Xingwang, as a meticulous and serious father, poured his full attention into raising the child. From preparation to execution, his plans were comprehensive.
Having mostly interacted with boys his age in his youth, the only girl he was close to was Chi Suisui back then.
The tiny, delicate Zhi Zhi left him feeling helpless.
The first time He Xingwang held Zhi Zhi, his posture was wrong. Chi Suisui laughed uncontrollably on the bed. “Is this how you hold a baby?”
His brows furrowed as if scrutinizing some terrible document, ready to point out a hundred and eighty mistakes.
“Mistakes happen the first time.”
He Xingwang remained calm, adjusting his posture under her guidance. Zhi Zhi had just finished drinking milk, and he could still smell the milky scent.
Zhi Zhi, seeing him, didn’t seem afraid. She reached out, grabbing his chin and giggling along with her mother.
Her voice was soft and sweet, her features already resembling He Xingwang’s.
When Zhi Zhi smiled, she resembled Chi Suisui—vivid and lively, especially with her big, bright, black eyes.
“She smiled,” He Xingwang turned to Chi Suisui.
“She’s smiling at her dad,” Chi Suisui leaned on his shoulder, laughing. “If you grew a beard, she’d probably pull it now.”
She recalled scenes from TV dramas.
But imagining He Xingwang with a long beard twisted her thoughts into a Santa Claus-like image.
Though He Xingwang spent his days at work, most of his time at home was devoted to Zhi Zhi, even taking her for strolls in her stroller.
Both eagerly anticipated Zhi Zhi’s first word.
Compared to other babies, Zhi Zhi’s infancy was remarkably quiet, a well-behaved baby who ate and slept all day.
Unlike others who fussed at night.
By this time, Chi Suisui gradually resumed her work, reporting daily at the news agency, and life returned to normal.
In the evening, Zhi Zhi played with toys on the bed while Chi Suisui teased her.
“Zhi Zhi, call Mommy.”
“…”
Zhi Zhi was entirely focused on her toy.
Chi Suisui assumed “Mommy” would come first, but one night before bed, while playing with her toy, Zhi Zhi suddenly called out “Daddy.”
Her pronunciation was unclear, and it was flat, but it was unmistakable.
Chi Suisui was astonished, jumping barefoot off the bed. He Xingwang had just emerged from the bathroom, and she hugged him, questioning—
“Did you secretly bribe your daughter?”
“What bribe?” He Xingwang was still confused.
“She just called Daddy, not Mommy.” Chi Suisui felt a bit disheartened. “What did you do behind my back today?”
A flicker of surprise crossed He Xingwang’s eyes.
Zhi Zhi’s first word was imminent, likely within the last month or two. He hadn’t expected it to be today, unfortunately missing it.
After a moment’s contemplation, He Xingwang slowly said, “Maybe it’s because I kissed Zhi Zhi a couple more times today?”
Chi Suisui: ?
Then He Xingwang earnestly kissed her three times on her bewildered face, whispering, “You can call me too.”
Chi Suisui struggled to respond: “You want me to call you Daddy?”
“…”
A subtle change crossed He Xingwang’s expression. After a pause, he said wryly, “Call me hubby.”
