Mu Ya couldn’t wait for the guard to open the gate and directly flipped over it. When he dashed to the side of the road, he could even see the butt of his family’s car.
“Yinyin!” Mu Ya shouted as he sprinted ahead maniacally.
His voice was drowned on the roads, which bustled with heavy traffic. Even Muir at the wheel didn’t hear him. Yet, Shen Yin, who was lying in the backseats and enduring the pain, could sense it. She sat up and looked towards the back.
“He’s here.” Delight surfaced on her pale face, and she grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand with a sweaty hand. “Stop the car!”
Muir said, “Can’t stop here. Just let him run back.”
What to do, then?
Shen Yin looked worriedly at Mu Ya.
Bai Qingqing patted her hand reassuringly. “We’ll be home in a short while. He won’t have to run for long.”
Shen Yin felt that her words made sense and only then stopped feeling anxious. However, she continued gazing at him.
Mu Ya ran at an incredible speed. It was the joy of being a father for the first time that gave him the motivation to run that fast. In fact, he was even faster than the cars beside him, and he caught up to his family’s car bit by bit.
While running, he could clearly see Shen Yin’s face, as well as the paleness upon it, stirring up traces of heartache in his joy-filled heart.
Finally, Mu Ya caught up to his family’s car and ran alongside it.
It was only when Bai Qingqing shot him a fierce glare that he restrained himself and forced himself to slow down.
His abnormal behavior had long attracted sideways glances from others, and it was only upon seeing him slow down that those people weren’t more shocked.
Mu Ya took a shortcut and finally arrived home before them.
When the car arrived at their villa entrance, Mu Ya instantly opened the door and carried Shen Yin into the house.
“Hurts so badly.” Shen Yin clutched his hand and rubbed her face against the back of it in a wheedling manner.
Was she carrying Mu Ya’s child in her tummy?
Even though his mother had told her several times, she couldn’t believe it up till now. Seeing Mu Ya so worked up, she also felt happy.
It was probably good that this was happening. He would, perhaps, love her more then.
Mu Ya’s heart softened, and he looked up at his mother. “Mom, she’s in a lot of pain. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Bai Qingqing closed the door, then shook her head and said, “It wasn’t very painful when I gave birth to you and your brothers. Little Yin is probably in so much pain because it’s her first birth. Mommy is experienced. I’ll help her deliver the child.”
As she spoke, Bai Qingqing walked to Shen Yin’s side, held her hand, and said, “Do you have faith in me?”
Shen Yin nodded with clenched teeth. She definitely wasn’t carrying a normal baby in her tummy. Even if Mu Ya’s mother wasn’t around, she wasn’t planning on giving birth in the hospital.
Hence, Bai Qingqing started making preparations. First, she turned on the heater.
“You should go out…” Shen Yin let go of Mu Ya’s hand and pushed him outwards.
Mu Ya asked, baffled, “Why?”
With her head lowered, Shen Yin panted as she said, “It won’t look good.”
Caught between laughter and tears, Mu Ya was about to say something when Bai Qingqing also spoke up. “That’s right, you should go out. Otherwise, she might not be able to let herself go.”
Mu Ya held Shen Yin’s hand and said resolutely, “If you’re in pain, just shout. Regardless of how disheveled you look, I won’t disdain you. Moreover, you’re only in so much pain for the sake of giving birth to our child. If anything, my heart aches for you.”
Shen Yin didn’t have the strength to argue, and since she failed to chase him away, she could only comfort herself with his words and tried to ignore his presence.
Shen Yin was truly in excruciating pain. The way she looked even induced fear in Bai Qingqing. It reminded her of when she gave birth to her first daughter.
But seeing that Shen Yin’s birth canal was open just fine, it shouldn’t be an obstructed labor, so she said nothing.
Time ticked away amid Shen Yin’s screams. It took no less than two hours before she finally gave birth to an egg covered in blood.
