Chapter 645: The Countdown

Chapter 645: The Countdown

“You know, Qingsang wasn’t in a good condition when she gave birth to the baby. She also lost a lot of blood. She’s very weak now and needs to rest.”

“Just because she needs to rest doesn’t mean that she should be unconscious, right?” Huo Jinyao was really anxious. “Didn’t you say that there’s no problem? If there’s no problem, why isn’t she awake yet?”

“I only said that there’s no big problem. I didn’t say that she would wake up immediately.”

“Then what would it take for her to wake up?”

Sun Huiya looked at Su Qingsang. She had slept for the entire night and her complexion was better than it was yesterday, but she was still as pale as a sheet of paper.

Su Qingsang’s vitality had been greatly damaged by the birth of the twins this time. It was actually quite normal for her to be like this now.

However, seeing how worried Huo Jinyao was, Sun Huiya didn’t know what else to say.

“Don’t be too nervous. She might wake up tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? I still have to wait until tomorrow?”

How could Huo Jinyao wait any longer? He couldn’t wait for a minute for an hour longer.

Li Qianxue looked at Huo Jinyao. After watching Huo Jinyao’s performance for the past two days, she, as Qingsang’s mother, was a little astonished.

However, when she saw Huo Jinyao’s stubble and wrinkled clothes, she couldn’t help but step forward and speak.

“Jinyao, since the doctor said that Qingsang will wake up tomorrow, you can wait another day. Look, you can’t help much by staying here now. Why don’t you go back and tidy yourself up first?”

Huo Jinyao stood there without moving. He didn’t want to leave Su Qingsang’s side for even a minute.

Liu Tongjia had also arrived. Behind her was Auntie Zhou, who was carrying a lunch box and a bag.

“Jinyao, youe mother-in-law has a point. How can you look like this? Go and tidy yourself up.”

As she spoke, Auntie Zhou went forward and handed the bag to Huo Jinyao.

“I’ve packed a few sets of clothes for you. Go into the bathroom, take a shower, and change your clothes. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the child, right? You’re so disheveled. How are you going to see the child later?”

Huo Jinyao looked at Liu Tongjia, and then at Li Qianxue. Finally, his gaze fell on Su Qingsang, who was still asleep. He didn’t fight back and went into the bathroom to change his clothes.

Li Qianxue and Liu Tongjia looked at each other. Both of their eyes were filled with worry.

Theoretically, the child had already been given birth to and she had rested already. Why was she still not awake after an entire day?

Huo Jinyao took a quick shower and came out very quickly. After changing his clothes, he looked more refreshed.

Once he came out, he sat in front of Su Qingsang’s bed again, and his eyes were full of worry.

In the ward, other than Huo Jinyao, there were only two elders, Li Qianxue and Liu Tongjia. Old Master Li and the others spent the entire day with and the rest of the night yesterday. After that, they couldn’t take it anymore and went back to rest.

Sun Huiya looked at Huo Jinyao, sighed, and left.

At night, the elders went to sleep. Huo Jinyao refused to go to sleep, and he refused to let the nurses or aunties take care of Su Qingsang.

He hadn’t seen the child since it was born, and he didn’t want to see it either. He simply stayed with Su Qingsang and refused to leave no matter what.

“Qingsang, don’t you want to wake up and see our babies?”

“Look, you haven’t seen the two babies, even though I haven’t seen them either.”

Su Qingsang passed out not long after the eldest son was born. After the second son was finally born, Su Qingsang completely lost all her strength. She couldn’t wake up.

“So don’t expect me to tell you what the two babies look like. I haven’t seen them either. Do you want to wake up quickly and see them with me?”

“Qingsang, you asked me to be a father. I hope that I can experience all the first times in my life with you every time.”

His eyes were a little red. He didn’t want to sleep. He put his face gently next to Su Qingsang’s arm. He simply watched her sleeping face.

“Honey, I’ll wait for you.”

When Su Qingsang opened her eyes, she felt that her body was soft and she didn’t have any strength at all.

Shee felt as if she had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she needed to recover bit by bit. She saw the sunlight shining in from the ward, and there was snow on the windowsill.

Giving off a sparkling light that was exceptionally beautiful, the sunlight refracted on the snowflakes.

Following the light, she saw the top of his black hair. Huo Jinyao was sleeping beside her bed, and his face was covered with stuble. There were also dark circles under his eyes.

She remembered hearing a lot of things when she was asleep. After she woke up, she didn’t remember them very clearly. She only remembered that Huo Jinyao said that he loved her.

She raised her hand and gently caressed his top of his hair, then moved it toward his face.

Just as her hand touched Huo Jinyao’s face, he grabbed it. He raised his head and stared at her with wide eyes. There was obvious surprise in his eyes.

“You’re awake? Qingsang, you’re awake?”

Su Qingsang wanted to say something, but her voice couldn’t come out. Her throat was so dry. Huo Jinyao poured her a glass of warm water and watched her finish it.

Su Qingsang felt much better. Only then did she see Huo Jinyao’s appearance clearly. It was worse than when he was asleep.

“How ugly,” Su Qingsang complained. She looked at the red, dark circles under his eyes and his face full of stuble. “You’re not handsome anymore.”

“You’re awake. You’re awake.” Huo Jinyao didn’t have the time to respond to her teasing. He could only express his feelings by kissing her palm continuously.

“You’re awake. Qingsang, you’re awake. That’s great. You’re awake.”

“Where’s the baby?” Su Qingsang felt an emptiness in her stomach. Only then did she remember that she had given birth to the baby yesterday. “How’s the baby?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“You fainted after giving birth. I didn’t have time to care for the baby at all.”

Huo Jinyao still couldn’t hide his worry. Su Qingsang stared at him with wide eyes. “You… why are you like this? But, I’ve been sleeping for so long, so you should at least take a look, right?”

“No.” Huo Jinyao was very willful. He held Su Qingsang’s hand tightly, and the expression on his face was uncharacteristically willful. “If you didn’t wake up soon, I was even going to send them away.”

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang was furious. She glared at Huo Jinyao for a long time, then finally felt a little helpless. “Forget it. Bring the child to me now.”

“They’re in the incubator.” Huo Jinyao wasn’t sure. In fact, he hadn’t paid attention to the children since they were born, since all his attention was on Su Qingsang.

“Are the children okay? Why do they have to stay in the incubator?”

Su Qingsang’s face was full of worry as she heard a voice.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. The children are fine. The eldest brother went back to the nursery yesterday to be observed, and the second child is still in the incubator. Don’t worry, everything is normal. She’s only in the incubator to ensure her safety.”

“Mother?”

Su Qingsang saw that Li Qianxue had arrived at some point in time. She was carrying a large bag in her hand.

Upon seeing that Su Qingsang had woken up, Li Qianxue also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Su Qingsang continued to sleep, she wouldn’t be able to take it.

“I didn’t expect you to wake up so early. Coincidentally, there’s breakfast here, and there’s also the soup that I asked Auntie to make. Qingsang, you must drink soup after you wake up. Director Sun said that you’ve hurt your vitality. Next, you have to listen to me and take supplements. You should help your body recover.”

“Mom, it’s not like what you said. It’s not about randomly taking supplements.”

“I don’t care. Drink this bowl of chicken soup first.”

“Okay. I’ll drink it.”

Su Qingsang wouldn’t argue with Li Qianxue over such a trivial matter. She thought that she had only slept for one day and didn’t know that she had slept for two days.

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she was told that she had slept for two days. She was stunned.

“That can’t be possible, right? I’ve always felt that my body is very healthy.”

“You’re one to speak. You gave birth on the second day and slept until the fourth day. That’s you.”

Li Qianxue’s words were full of heartache. Su Qingsang stuck out her tongue and sat back down on the bed. She obediently finished the chicken soup.

She was really hungry. After eating a bowl of soup, she felt much more refreshed.

“I want to see the children.”

“I’ll take you there.” Huo Jinyao had just found a wheelchair because he knew that Su Qingsang would definitely want to see the children after she woke up.

There were two children, one in the nursery and the other in the incubator.

Seeing that Su Qingsang had woken up, Sun Huiya, who had come to see her, told her about the situation.

“The older one is fine. The younger one was stuck at the mouth of the uterus for a long time when she was born. Her breathing was a little weak right after she was born, but her vital signs were normal. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Okay. Thank you, Director Sun.”

The eldest baby stayed in the nursery for two days. His facial features were a little more grown out than when he was born. His face was red and he looked very healthy.

“When the eldest baby was born, he weighed 2.8 kilograms. The younger one weighed 2.5 kilograms. The younger one was lighter, but they were very healthy. Qingsang, you’re amazing.”

Su Qingsang looked at the baby and felt her heart soften. “Director Sun, can I take him back to the ward? I want to feed him milk.”

“Of course, you can try to let him drink milk. But you have two here. I don’t think there will be enough milk.”

Su Qingsang smiled. Regardless of whether it was enough or not, she didn’t want to borrow other people’s hands when it came to feeding the baby. She wanted to do it herself.

After looking at the eldest baby, she looked at the youngest baby. The little girl’s skin wasn’t red like that of normal babies, but white and tender. She looked very cute.

Su Qingsang’s heart almost melted when she saw her daughter. It was completely different from seeing her son.

“Jinyao, that’s our daughter.”

“Mhm.” Huo Jinyao saw her too. It was also his first time seeing his daughter. She had a little face and her eyes were tightly shut.

She didn’t have to do anything while she slept there for Huo Jinyao to feel extremely fulfilled.

He bent down and hugged Su Qingsang tightly. “Honey, thank you.”

Only now did he truly feel that he was a father. A son, a daughter, and Su Qingsang. They would be his entire world now and in the future.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Su Qingsang smiled. She glanced at Sun Huiya. “Will she be under observation for a long time?”

“No need. She can leave the incubator tomorrow.”

Sun Huiya smiled and said, “Your daughter is like you. She’s also very strong.”

Su Qingsang smiled until her eyes narrowed. Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so Sun Huiya told her to go back and rest first. As for interacting with the child, there was no rush. There would always be another chance.

Li Qianxue had already seen her grandson yesterday, but now that she saw him again, she couldn’t help but want to hug him.

“He’s so good-looking. He looks like Huo Jinyao was when he was young.” Liu Tongjia looked at the child from the side. When he grew up a little, his facial features would become even more obvious.

“I think his eyebrows and eyes look a little like Qingsang’s.”

“He’s so young, but you can tell who he looks like?” Su Yuxin, who had followed them here, glanced at the baby and clicked his tongue. “Why do I feel like he doesn’t look like anyone?”

“How can you talk like that?” Li Qianxue couldn’t help but smack her son on the head. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It’s true. You guys are the only ones who can tell. I’ve looked at him, and I think he looks like me.”

Su Yuxin didn’t stand on ceremony at all. “Haven’t you heard? Many nephews look like their uncles.”

“Pfft” Su Qingsang couldn’t help but laugh. When she laughed, she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, but she just couldn’t help it.

“You look like Qingsang. Who do you think the child looks like?”

“That’s why.” Su Yuxin said rather cheekily, “Then he has to look like me.”

Liu Tongjia couldn’t stop laughing. She was amused by Su Yuxin.

Su Qingsang looked at the scene in front of her and felt that it was really good.

“What’s the child’s full name?”

Li Qianxue looked at Liu Tongjia. “If the child’s full name can’t be decided so quickly, then let’s call him by his nickname.”

“The eldest child’s nickname is Xiang Xiang, and the youngest child’s nickname is Nian Nian.”

“Xiang Xiang? Okay, okay, okay.” Liu Tongjia hugged Xiang Xiang and thought about it. When she looked at his young face, her eyes suddenly turned red.

“Mom.”

Huo Jinyao stood beside her and put his hand on Liu Tongjia’s shoulder. He didn’t say anything, but this name had already said everything.

“It’s okay, I’m happy.”

Liu Tongjia looked at the child in her arms. The pain she had felt in the past had been alleviated a lot because of the birth of these two children.

There were still regrets, but she would learn to let them go.

People had to move on.

A day later, Su Qingsang recovered more than half. Because it was a natural delivery, she was discharged after they checked that there were no problems.

She was also discharged with two fair and delicate little babies.

When they returned home, Old Master Huo, who had wanted to celebrate, could only suppress his excitement after Su Qingsang stopped him.

The children were still young. It wasn’t good to have too many people coming and going. He could only wait until the full moon.

But even if he couldn’t celebrate festively, Old Master Huo’s joy was obvious. The Huo family’s relatives also knew about it.

Apart from the people who went to the hospital previously, there were also many people who came to see the twins. Of course, not everyone could see them.

Su Qingsang took the children upstairs for postpartum confinement. People they weren’t familiar with only knew that Su Qingsang gave birth to a pair of twins, but they couldn’t see the two children.

Su Qingsang alone wouldn’t be able to take care of the two babies, even if Li Qianxue and Liu Tongjia were there.

What could they do? The Huo family hired two nannies and two aunties to take care of the two babies.

Li Qianxue took advantage of the new year holiday to stay behind. Every day, she felt her heart soften as she looked at her granddaughter.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yuxin and Old Master Li returned to Lin City. Li Qianxue stayed behind to spend a few more days with her daughter.

Huo Jinyao went back to work. Although he wanted to spend more time with Su Qingsang and her son, there were still some things that he needed to take care of at the company.

However, he didn’t go out to socialize at all. If he had anything to do, he would leave it to Yang Wenchang and Zhang Yang. If he really had to make a decision, he would go to the company.

He would even leave some of the work to Huo Mingguang. He would call this behavior of his that of a stay-at-home parent.

Huo Jinyao learned how to be a nanny. He had nannies and aunties at home, but most of the time, he was more willing to do it himself.

He still remembered how he felt the first time he hugged Xiang Xiang. He also remembered how he felt the first time he hugged Nian Nian.

When the two children were in his hands, he felt like he had embraced the whole world.

The honor of having diapers changed for the first time fell on Nian Nian. Perhaps it was because as an older brother, he was in better health than his younger sister.

He ate a little more, and within a few days, he had already surpassed Nian Nian. His face was red, and he looked energetic.

He cried loudly. Sometimes, when he cried, it felt as if the entire floor could hear him.

When he cried for the first time, Huo Jinyao was still a little confused. He understood that the child only peed on himself, so he personally changed the child’s diaper.

He was a little clumsy, but he was extremely careful.

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao and suddenly had a feeling that Huo Jinyao would definitely be a very good father in the future.

He would give all his love to these two children.

Although she thought about it, what made her heart ache even more was Nian Nian.

Contrary to what she thought, Nian Nian, who was born a few minutes later, was very quiet. She rarely cried. Even when she wanted to be breastfeed or have her diaper changed, she only hummed softly.

When she hummed, her face was red and she looked like she was holding her breath. She looked very heartbreaking.

Because of this, Huo Jinyao’s heart ached even more for Nian Nian. He wished that he could hold his daughter in his arms from time to time.

Apart from taking care of Su Qingsang every day, he spent most of the time with his two children.

The Huo family had arrived when he was washing Nian Nian. Afraid that the two children would be alarmed, Huo Jinyao only carried the twins for everyone to see before he carried them back to his room.

He was very protective of his children now, and he was even more careful than Su Qingsang.

The babies’ rooms was arranged next to their room. There were also nannies and aunties taking care of the children.

However, every time the children hummed, Huo Jinyao would wake up immediately.

He had to work during the day and took time to take care of the children at night. He was also responsible for accompanying Su Qingsang and slowly recovering with her.

A few days later, Su Qingsang had recovered a lot and looked a little plumper. However, Huo Jinyao had lost weight.

Li Qianxue saw it and became more satisfied with her son-in-law.

There was no harm without comparison. Comparing what Huo Jinyao had done and thinking about what Su Chenghui had done, she could tell that Huo Jinyao truly loved Su Qingsang. He was good to them, so she wasn’t worried.

Su Qingsang had given birth but didn’t specifically inform Su Chenghui. If he wanted to know, he would naturally know.

Li Qianxue didn’t think that there was a need for her to inform him. She wished that she didn’t have to see Su Chenghui.

She didn’t mention Su Chenghui, and Su Qingsang didn’t mention him in front of her. The mother and daughter often spent time together during the day. Li Qianxue was afraid that Su Qingsang would be bored during her confinement, so she always accompanied her to talk and take care of her.

Just like Huo Jinyao taking care of the two children, Li Qianxue would rather do take care of Su Qingsang on her own.

She often blamed herself for not doing enough in the past and wished that she could be nicer to Su Qingsang.

After more than ten days, the relationship between the two of them had improved a lot. There was also Liu Tongjia. With this opportunity, her relationship with Huo Jinyao had also improved a lot.

There were two more children in the family. There were more topics for elders to talk about.

For example, Nian Nian drank more milk today. Xiang Xiang cried a few more times.

Because of the addition of two more children, the Huo family suddenly became more lively.

That day, Huo Jinyao returned home with a bag. He had already received enough gifts during this period of time.

Whether it was Li Qianxue or Liu Tongjia, no one was surprised.

They carried the things upstairs, but no one opened them. It was already night. Everyone else had gone back to their rooms to sleep. The children were also carried to the baby’s room to rest. Huo Jinyao carried the bag and sat down by the bed.

“What? Why be so mysterious?”

Huo Jinyao said that Su Qingsang had a hard time giving birth, and would bring her surprises from time to time.

However, this was the first time he had been so mysterious.

Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He only took out the things inside.

It was two sweaters and two onesies. There were also two small vests, all made of wool. They weren’t thick so they were suitable for babies.

One could tell that they were made of high-quality wool. The thin stitches were especially soft. It was very comfortable to touch.

Su Qingsang didn’t need Huo Jinyao to explain in detail who prepared this.

“Auntie is here? She came to look for you?”

“Strictly speaking, she didn’t come to look for me. She went to look for Yang Wenchang.”

She couldn’t enter the Tianyu Group without an appointment, and Xiang Caiping didn’t intend to disturb Huo Jinyao and let people know that she had connections with Huo Jinyao.

She went to the Tianyu Group, looked for Yang Wenchang, and gave him the stuff. Yang Wenchang had helped Huo Jinyao with many things in the past, so he naturally knew Xiang Caiping.

She said that she guessed that it was about time for the two children to be born. It wasn’t convenient for her to visit, but she had to prepare the gifts first.

When Yang Wenchang told her that the children had been born, she was very happy. She was even happier when she heard that they had given birth to a pair of fraternal twins.

She handed the gifts to Yang Wenchang and asked him to pass them to Huo Jinyao.

“That’s great. That’s great. Qingsang is a blessed person.”

“Please tell Jinyao not to tell Qingsang that I prepared them.”

She might have said that, but it was impossible for Huo Jinyao not to tell her. Besides, with Su Qingsang’s intelligence, it was impossible for her not to guess.

Su Qingsang’s hands caressed the two sweaters, picked them up, and sniffed them gently. She suddenly thought of something and smiled.

“Put them away.”

“Hmm?”

“Wait until my mother returns to Lin City, then I’ll take them out for the children to wear. Besides, the clothes are too big now, so they can’t be worn yet.”

“Okay.”Huo Jinyao nodded. He stood up, then picked up the sweaters inside and put them away.

“And this.”

A pair of longevity locks. In Lin City, it was a custom to prepare longevity locks for grandchildren after becoming grandmothers.

Li Qianxue had already bought one before, and it was even more exquisite than this one. However, one could also tell that this was Xiang Caiping’s gesture of goodwill.

Su Qingsang’s eyes were a little sore. She blinked and suppressed her emotions as she looked at Huo Jinyao.

“Put it away. After the children grow up, leave it to the children.”

The twins were children of the Huo family, so naturally, they didn’t lack such things. However, this was a gesture of goodwill.

No matter what, Su Qingsang thanked Xiang Caiping for everything she had done for her.
