The drizzling rain was heavier, indicating the coming of a stormy rain.
The lousy weather reflected Jun Yeyan’s gloomy mood at the moment.
As the voice of the midwives and the groans of Bai Aoxue spread, he was more and more gloomy and annoyed.
“Ah!” The shouting of Bai Aoxue sounded tired but more of hoarseness.
When Jun Yeyan heard her scream, his eyebrows frowned fiercely, and his hands grasped tightly as fists.
The rain was falling from his cloak and hat, but he stood still as if he had no feelings of coldness or uncomfortableness. He cared about nothing but his beloved woman inside, who was experiencing the extreme pain that he had never imagined.
Being such a proud and firm woman, she never screamed even when she was penetrated by a sharp arrow, or the stomach was pierced. But now, he heard her crying painfully.
It was just a cry that made him feel heartbroken.
He never gave her anything, and he hadn’t fulfilled even a promise to her. He always hurt her and made her painful.
Jun Yeyan had never complained about himself like that. Now he clenched his fists and his body was slightly trembling.
“Let me in,” Looking down at the Mumian and other maids, Jun Yeyan said in a low voice.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s voice, the maids, including Mumian, were stunned.
“Xue needs me. Even if I can’t relieve her pain, I will stay with her.” Reaching out to push them aside, Jun Yeyan quickly pushed the door open and walked into the room.
The view of his back looked proud and slightly cold.
With a wave of his sleeves in the wind, the wooden door was closed suddenly, preventing the people outside from peeping.
Seeing Jun Yeyan come in, the midwives beside Bai Aoxue were still busy in expediting baby delivery and couldn’t care about the etiquette.
Watching Jun Yeyan, Zi Yuanyue then turned to look at Bai Aoxue with some happiness in her eyes.
Finally… The Master came here.
At the moment, Bai Aoxue had lost the strength to open her eyes. Her long and black hair was full of sweat beads as if she was just taken out of the water.
Her pale face and lips, as well as the weak breaths, made Jun Yeyan dizzy.
The white cotton coat was dyed bright red, looking a bit thrilling in the candlelight.
Jun Yeyan walked quickly to Bai Aoxue and put her palm that was clenched because of pain into his hand. Traces of blood had flown from the crescent-like nail prints on her palm.
Jun Yeyan’s heart convulsed fiercely.
How much pain she had endured.
It seemed that Bai Aoxue had noticed Jun Yeyan’s arrival, she turned her head slightly and squinted at him. Her pale lips opened slightly, but she could not say anything but groans with the voice being lower and lower.
Looking at Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan held her palm tightly and kissed it gently.
“Don’t be scared. I’ll be with you. I’m by your side. Don’t be scared,” He murmured with a deep and low voice.
Bai Aoxue seemed to have understood it and nodded gently. Although it was a subtle gesture, Jun Yeyan could still know.
“Your Majesty, use more force! The child is about to come out!” A midwife said to Bai Aoxue with an exclamation.
Hearing the midwife’s words, Jun Yeyan’s heart throbbed all of a sudden. The feeling of being in blood relation was amazing.
Bai Aoxue frowned. The inexorable pain made her pale face look bloodless. Hearing the words of the midwife, a sparkling light flashed in Bai Aoxue’s eyes.
“The baby has come out… come out!” The midwives exclaimed happily.
The child’s loud cry was in his ear, but Jun Yeyan couldn’t care about it at the moment.
Her beautiful eyes that he loved most began to cloud and darken like run-out candlelight.
He was panic. He could hear nothing, whether the shouts of people around him or the child’s loud cry. He didn’t care about them at all because his only concern was the person he looked at.
He enthusiastically embraced Bai Aoxue and gently kissed her on the forehead and the corners of lips.
“You suffered a lot… You suffered a lot….” The murmured voice sounded relieved.
Vaguely, tears shed from her eyes which usually looked cold and arrogant. Although the tears were few, they indeed came from Bai Aoxue.
He dressed Bai Aoxue in clean clothes. At the moment, there were only two of them left in the room. Zi Yuanyue had taken Bai Aoxue’s pulse, telling Jun Yeyan that she was unconscious because of tiredness, nothing to be worried about.
Jun Yeyan was also relieved. But he refused to leave and had no intention of taking care of the child.
He didn’t know it was a boy or a girl. He didn’t hear what the midwives said just now.
He just wanted to stay with her, waiting for her to wake up and see him at first glance.
Somehow, the dripping rain stopped. It was believed that the rain would last a few days, but it stopped suddenly at this moment.
When Bai Aoxue woke up, it was already the second day in the morning. The sun shined through the windows. The furnace flamed inside the room. There was a slight fragrance that she adored.
She blinked laboriously. Suddenly, the fragrance of cold sandalwood surrounded her and penetrated her nose.
“You’re here,” Her husky voice still sounded exhausted.
It turned out that all this was not a dream. He really came here.
Jun Yeyan hugged Bai Aoxue tightly and couldn’t bear to let her go for a moment.
“Xue, thank you,” he said in a deep voice with a slight nasal tone.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s voice, Bai Aoxue smiled with extreme happiness that nothing else could give her.
“Where’s the child? Is the baby a boy or a girl? Show me soon,” Bai Aoxue patted Jun Yeyan’s shoulder and said gently.
When Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue’s words, his hands were stiff for a while, and then he said, “The child was carried out by Mumian for fear of disturbing your rest.”
Hearing that, Bai Aoxue said gently, “Take my baby here. I want to see.”
Seeing Bai Aoxue’s excitement, Jun Yeyan said softly, “Have a good rest. I’ll go to take our baby here.”
As soon as he got up, a loud cry spread from outside the door. Jun Yeyan frowned and said, “Whose child? The cry will disturb Xue’s rest.”
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Bai Aoxue’s mouth convulsed a bit, “It’s our child! Who do you think will live here besides us?”
Hearing Bai Aoxue ‘s words, Jun Yeyan was a little stunned and then said embarrassingly, “I’ll go to bring the baby in.”
Just when Jun Yeyan was about to leave, Mumian’s voice came.
“Your Majesty, has her Majesty waken up? The prince has been annoyed, perhaps because he is hungry and looking for his mother.”
Upon hearing what Mumian said, two words hit Jun Yeyan suddenly—the prince. His eyebrows raised. It was a boy!
“Take him in,” Jun Yeyan said in a deep voice.
Mumian carefully walked in when holding the child. She saw Bai Aoxue keep staring at the child in her arms.
“Show me soon,” Bai Aoxue reached out and said.
Mumian quickly walked to Bai Aoxue. Jun Yeyan bent over and gently lifted Bai Aoxue, supporting her with his body.
The child kept crying in a loud voice. The midwife said that his voice was forceful, implying that he would make a big deal in the future.
Hearing it, Mumian said proudly, “Of course! He will be the monarch of the Great Continent.”
The midwife almost fainted when she heard it.
Miraculously, the child stopped crying when Bai Aoxue held him. His crystal eyes were like a pair of black grapes, focusing on Bai Aoxue attentively without blinking.
Looked at his bright eyes, Bai Aoxue felt distressed all of a sudden. Her beautiful eyes were slightly blurred with tears.
It was her child, whom she struggled to give birth to after nearly ten months of pregnancy, and she could feel the blood connection between them.
That was the happiness to her imagination. There was a man who loved her would accompany her eternally over time. There was a child who would inherit her appearance and his father’s personality.
The warm sun shined through the windows and fell on them. The breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing the news of spring.
The time was pleasant and peaceful.
Now, it was unbelievable that all of them had already come true.
The child’s white and petty hands stretched out as if hugging her. His round and black eyes curled like a crescent.
Bai Aoxue bent over and gently hugged the child as carefully as holding a treasure.
“Hi, my baby. I’m your mother, and he’s your father.”
Tears were shed from Jun Yeyan’s eyes and then fell on his palm. The warmth of the tears made him heartwarming.
Mumian quietly retreated, leaving the family of three to enjoy the warmth of family.
If time could stop, she hoped it would stop at this moment, with no responsibility and no wars.
Watching Bai Aoxue and the baby fall into sleep, Jun Yeyan felt extremely satisfied as if his empty heart was filled with happiness.
They were his happiness and warmth. He vowed to protect them all his life from any danger. Even losing his divinity or life, he would always defend them until death.
When Bai Aoxue woke up, it was a little dark outside. The child was beside her, but Jun Yeyan was absent.
Lying on the bed, Bai Aoxue saw that he came against the rays of a sunset as the door was pushed open. It was exactly like the dream she made in her childhood that a hero would rescue her and light her life.
“You have been awake? Have some porridge,” said Jun Yeyan, who walked towards Bai Aoxue and helped her up with a hand.
Bai Aoxue leaned on Jun Yeyan’s arms and looked up to see Jun Yeyan.
Jun Yeyan bowed his head and kissed her with his thin lips. The kiss was imprinted on her pale mouth, which was not enthusiastic but made her feel warm and comfortable.
Even after having a child, Bai Aoxue couldn’t help but blush.
“Is the porridge made by you?” Bai Aoxue lowered her head and asked gently.
Jun Yeyan cleared his voice awkwardly and said, “Hmm… Just open your mouth. I’ll feed you.”
