BeiTang MinQian came back to his senses and said to Su YuanHeng, “YuanHeng, did you hear that? Use your strength…use your strength to deliver the baby."
The oxytocin came into effect; the contractions that had subsided surged again and was even stronger than before.
The torturous contractions were so severe that Su YuanHeng became alert. He heard what Dr. Qiu said. His heart trembled and with strength coming from somewhere, he pulled himself together.
He is also a doctor himself so he knew his current dire condition. Holding BeiTang MinQian"s hands, he followed along with the waves of the contractions and Qiu ZhiYuan"s command as he tried to use his strength to push.
“Uh … ah, ah … whew…whew…”
The contraction that started was more intense than before. Because the amniotic fluid was so low, the baby is stuck at the opening making it more difficult to come out.
Su YuanHeng used all his strength and pushed again and again, his painful shouts becoming louder and louder. This excruciating intensive pain didn"t even allow him to breathe in the pain-relieving oxygen gas that Qiu ZhiYuan gave him. He almost thought he had died.
After struggling for more than twenty minutes, this little life that came earlier than antic.i.p.ated finally came out.
“Weh! Weh! Weh!”
The baby"s cries are exceptionally loud and clear but unfortunately before Su YuanHeng could take a look, he fell into a coma.
Excessive blood loss and the premature delivery had caused a great deal of harm to his body. He was comatosed for two days and two nights before slowly waking up.
“You"re awake." Qiu ZhiYuan smiled at him as he was checking on him. “You gave birth to a son. Congratulations. The little brat is over 2700 grams (5.9lbs). Very healthy. I"ll have the nurse bring him over shortly so you could hold him."
Su YuanHeng let out a sigh of relief, then weakly muttered, “Thank you.”
“Don"t need to thank me. You have no idea how critical that night was. If Mr. BeiTang brought you in ten minutes later, it would have been too late. But fortunately, both father and son are now safe. Hhha, Mr. BeiTang is really good to you. He was here with you for two whole days and had just left this morning.”
Thinking of the life and death situation of that night, Su YuanHeng also felt this endless lingering fear. But when he thought of BeiTang MinQian"s anxiety and worries at the time, he felt warmth and sweetness in his heart.
The nurse brought the baby over. Su YuanHeng can"t wait to carry him.
The baby has a rounded face, with his eyes closed, his long and raised black eyelashes look just like BeiTang MinQian"s.
The female nurse couldn"t help but add, “This baby is really good-looking. Very few newborn babies are so beautiful. Does he look like his father?”
“Yeah,” Su YuanHeng was both happy and proud. Holding his child that he almost traded with his life, he didn"t even want to blink his eyes.
When BeiTang MinQian came, he saw Su YuanHeng carefully holding the baby looking very contented.
He smiled and walked over to kiss him on his forehead. Then softly said, “The little guy is beautiful, isn"t he?”
“Yeah, like you.”
“Really? Hehe, I think that he looks like you," BeiTang MinQian reached out his arms and wrapped it around him and the baby. Sighing in fulfillment, “Fortunately both of you are fine. That day scared me to death."
Su YuanHeng was very pale due to excessive blood loss. Revealing a light smile, “All had pa.s.sed.”
"Yeah, it"s all in the past."
BeiTang MinQian looked at him and his son contently. Then he remembered something and took out a small box, asking softly, “Guess what this is?”
Su YuanHeng was momentarily surprised for a bit, wondering if it is……
BeiTang MinQian proudly said, “Didn"t I say that day if you come to the hospital with me for a checkup, I"ll give you a surprise? In the end, there was no surprise but a whole lot of fear. Right now, I don"t want you to go through any fear, let"s just be happy."
After saying that, he gently opened the box; inside is a pair of beautiful men"s style platinum diamond rings.
Su YuanHeng looked at BeiTang MinQian and couldn"t speak for a moment.
BeiTang MinQian kneeled on one knee, holding the little ring box with both hands and very sincerely proposed, “Let"s get married, YuanHeng.”
He didn"t ask Su YuanHeng to “please marry me (T/N)” because Su YuanHeng is not a woman nor did he ever considered Su YuanHeng to be the same as a woman.
T/N: Typically, female uses (嫁 – jia) in marrying into the male"s family. The one marrying into the other"s family is considered more of the submissive female role. Here BeiTang MinQian is not asking SuYuanHeng to marry him as an inferior "wife" position but both equally.
“You……are you sure? Is it…because of the child or……" Su YuanHeng looked at his hopeful expression; his heart utterly struggling.
He had no doubt that he loves BeiTang MinQian. But having been emotionally pa.s.sive for such a long time, adding on to his nature of feeling inferior and the lack of self-confidence had made it difficult for him to easily trust others.
When a person meets another person, it is fate. And fate is not something that can be imposed.
Although he could clearly see the changes in BeiTang MinQian during these days and felt sweetness seeped deeply into his heart, but …… he had always felt that it is primarily due to the child. After all, before the child"s appearance, they had almost broken up.
BeiTang MinQian knew of his hesitation and seriously expressed, “YuanHeng, I"ve never said that I love you.”
Su YuanHeng was slightly startled; his face paled.
BeiTang MinQian continued, “But it doesn"t mean that I don"t love you. I know that you have your doubts and have never dared to believe me. That"s because I never gave you that sense of security. But did you know? If that time, I wasn"t suddenly taken back to America by my oldest sister, I had intended to go find you at the orphanage to confess.”
Su YuanHeng was shocked, “Confess?”
“Yeah.” BeiTang MinQian nodded and said slowly, “YuanHeng, we have been together for six years. In fact, I have thought a lot in the past year and came to realize that being with you….. I"ve always been unable to control my feelings. I am a person that likes to control my feelings and emotions. When I find myself unable to do so, I chose to cool-off."
“At the time, I left to go abroad to film a commercial and it lasted six months. I"ve come to realize that my feelings for you are deeper than I thought.”
This is the first time Su YuanHeng had ever heard him say something like this so he listened attentively.
“Being abroad for six months, I realized that I"ve really missed you. But before I had time to even tell you after I came back, my eldest sister showed up. Humph. She must have sensed my intentions so deliberately came to cause trouble.”
What he said is no mistake. With regards to his feelings toward Su YuanHeng, BeiTang YaZhi noticed it earlier than him. So she looked into Su YuanHeng"s background and came to find him when he returned to the country.
“YuanHeng, I admit that having a child is a turning point but I wanted to let you know that even if there is no child, I would still choose to be with you. Please believe me, okay?"
Su YuanHeng"s expression change; He couldn"t decide but he really wanted to believe BeiTang MinQian.
These words are so unimaginable. It seemed as though his long-awaited prayers has finally come true.
Fate, can it also come from payers?
"YuanHeng."
BeiTang MinQian looked at his expression and waited patiently. He believes that Su YuanHeng will agree. Even if he doesn"t, he is determined to get him to agree.
The baby in their arms started crying. Su YuanHeng"s regained his senses and looked at the child, then looked at BeiTang MinQian who is still kneeling, “Get up.”
BeiTang MinQian softly responded, “If you don"t agree, I"m not getting up.”
Su YuanHeng is a bit at loss.
BeiTang MinQian gently whispered, “Agree to marry me, YuanHeng. You see, even the baby is protesting. Could it be that I"m still not worthy of your trust?”
After looking at him for a while, Su Yuan Heng finally nodded, “Okay, I agree.”
BeiTang MinQian is elated. He immediately put the ring on his (Su Yuan Heng) left hand ring finger and joyously exclaimed, “Now you can"t back out.”
Su YuanHeng said helplessly, “Can you go get the nurse now? I think our child is hungry.”
“Okay, my love.” BeiTang MinQian proudly kissed him on his face and walked out with a smile.
