“It’s okay.” Zhao Pianpian smiled at her, “It’s just a fake contraction.”
Luo Bei knew that she would give birth to a fat and chubby son, the future heir to Lei Corporation. According to the novel’s epilogue, he was particularly clever and often fought with his father for his mother’s affection.
From an outsider’s point of view, Zhao Pianpian was the definition of Mary Sue. Would an average person be able to interfere with this plot of the overbearing CEO and the pregnant runaway mommy? Of course, not.
The CEO of the big corporation loved her deeply and didn’t want to marry because of her. Her son was also extremely smart and cute and she didn’t need to worry about him at all. The second female lead was automatically slapped in the face.
If Zhao Pianpian had gone abroad with her child at that time, she might have been able to meet a loving supporting male lead, however…
“Pianpian, why did you come to the slums?” Luo Bei asked curiously.
Zhao Pianpian was very sincere to others. Although she wouldn’t spill everything, other than not telling Luo Bei that her baby daddy was Lei Yuhao, she had more or less explained everything else.
Luo Bei had very sincerely promised Zhao Pianpian that she would never tell anyone.
Loving supporting male leads were usually also rich and handsome. How could a person like that appear in such a poor area? So, besides Grandma Luo who took good care of her and Luo Bei who chatted with her, Zhao Pianpian had no one else by her side.
Zhao Pianpian stroked her high and swollen abdomen with a loving gaze. She whispered, “There’s going to be a lot of other expenditures in the future. It’s fine if our living conditions are slightly less than ideal. Plus, I don’t think living here is that bad, you and Grandma Luo are the best, kindest people I’ve encountered in the world.
“It would’ve been better if you had gone abroad at that time,” Luo Bei said.
She would read novels with the same trope when she had nothing to do recently. In most cases, the female lead would run away abroad.
Zhao Pianpian looked at Luo Bei in surprise, “I don’t have a green card and I’m not someone from there. I’ll be able to get a tourist visa at most. My stay would be limited and I would be in an unfamiliar environment. Why should I go abroad?”
Luo Bei was speechless.
That actually made sense…
“Beibei,” Zhao Pianpian suddenly called her name and smiled at her, “When my baby is born, how do you feel about becoming the baby’s godmother?”
Luo Bei blinked repeatedly. She couldn’t believe what she heard.
Becoming the baby’s godmother?
What did this mean, did it mean that the future heir of Lei Corporation was her godson?
Just being a good friend of the president’s wife was enough to exceed her expectations in life, now a domineering CEO godson was added to the equation?
Although there might have been some selfish intentions in approaching Zhao Pianpian initially, Luo Bei wasn’t a manipulative person. Whoever was sincere to her, she would return that sincerity. Zhao Pianpian genuinely treated her as a good friend, she would naturally treat Zhao Pianpian, and the baby in her belly, sincerely as well.
When Luo Bei came out from Room 202 and went home, her phone rang in less than half an hour. It was Zhao Pianpian calling.
Her heart sank, did something happen?
Upon answering the phone, she heard Zhao Pianpian panting, saying her water broke and that it seemed she was about to give birth.
It was Luo Bei’s first time experiencing this kind of thing. She hurriedly woke her sleeping grandmother up and ran down to Room 202 frantically, not knowing what to do.
Zhao Pianpian was going through labor pains at the moment. However, she was very calm contrary to how TV series portrayed it. “Beibei, go get a taxi, and grab the hospital bag I’ve prepared beforehand. I’m entrusting my baby and myself to you.”
Zhao Pianpian was currently still able to walk, but it took a lot of strength to. Luo Bei held the hospital bag and supported her…
Once they reached the first floor, they happened to run into the tenant from the basement.
They were in the midst of a typhoon, the rain billowed heavily. It was impossible to call for a taxi. Luo Bei was at a loss as to what to do, but she had to focus.
Grandma Luo was more familiar with that tenant. At that moment, she shouted, “Xiao Jiang, are you busy right now?”
The tenant named Xiao Jiang knew what was going on when he saw Zhao Pianpian’s situation.
“Are you going to the hospital?” Xiao Jiang’s voice was low, magnetic, and inexplicably good. He glanced at Luo Bei and said, “Miss Luo, give me the umbrella. I’ll go outside and call a taxi.”
It was raining heavily at this time. Naturally, they couldn’t let the woman in labor follow them in going out and calling for a taxi in the rain.
Luo Bei quickly handed him the umbrella, and Xiao Jiang rushed out with the umbrella.
There were indeed a lot of kind-hearted people in this day and age. Although Xiao Jiang didn’t manage to grab a taxi, someone from the neighborhood running a rideshare heard that Grandma Luo’s building tenant was about to give birth and immediately came over with Xiao Jiang. The group sped towards the hospital.
After the rideshare uncle delivered them to the hospital, he went back out to work.
Xiao Jiang, Luo Bei and Grandma Luo accompanied Zhao Pianpian.
Luo Bei heard Xiao Jiang’s stomach grumbling. After waiting for a while, she got up and pretended to casually say, “I don’t know how much longer we have to wait. I’ll go out to get some food. Pianpian would also have to eat, otherwise, she wouldn’t have any energy later. Xiao Jiang, what do you want to eat? It’s been tough on you today.”
Xiao Jiang glanced at her, “I’m fine with whatever.”
“How about I buy you an egg fried rice?”
Xiao Jiang tried his best to prevent his mouth from watering and slowly nodded, “Okay, thank you.”
The baby’s coming! And I’ll spare the food pictures for the next chapter~
