Chapter 1663: A New Beginning (3) In the hospital’s delivery room.
Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze stood outside, both nervously looking at the door.
Qiao Lian’s loud cries could be heard, making the two men even more nervous.
Staring at the delivery room, Lu Nanze said,
Is she alright? Why is she crying so pitifully?

For once, Shen Liangchuan didn’t attack the man. He only continued to look at the delivery room. The perpetually cold and expressionless man now seemed a little nerve-wracked and restless.
But his voice maintained its usual steadiness and confidence as he said,
She’ll be fine.

One couldn’t be too sure if that remark was meant for Qiao Lian or himself.
Lu Nanze nodded and added,
That’s right, she’ll be fine.


Nothing will go wrong.


She’s always been healthy and has a good medical history. I’ll be damned if something goes wrong!


Yes, she’s been eating and sleeping well for the past months. Nothing has gone wrong, so things will continue to be fine.

As the two men took turns speaking, they started getting stares from the people walking past.
After a while, the delivery room’s door swung open and a nurse walked out nervously.
Before Shen Liangchuan could do anything, Lu Nanze dashed up to her.
Nurse, how is she?

The nurse knitted her brow and was about to answer when Shen Liangchuan enquired,
Is she alright?

Nurse: …
The nurse looked at them and noticed the two men seemed equally anxious. Confused, she asked,
Out of you two, who is the mother’s relative?


Me!


Me!

The two men had spoken simultaneously, so the nurse appeared even more baffled now.
Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze exchanged a look—a long glance. Finally, they both felt they couldn’t bother arguing right now. They turned back to the nurse.
The nurse immediately asked,
Who is the patient’s husband?!


Me,
Shen Liangchuan quickly replied.
Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back. He opened his mouth and looked as though he was about to say something. Then he fell silent again.
The nurse was already looking at Shen Liangchuan and saying,
Alright, Mr. Shen, come with me then. You’ll need to get changed and come with me to the delivery room. She is about to deliver and will need her husband by her side to support her.

Without another word, Shen Liangchuan nodded and quickly followed the nurse into the delivery room.
Lu Nanze stood outside watching the two of them disappear.
Suddenly, he felt like a fool.
Indeed, she was Shen Liangchuan’s wife. Why was he trying so hard to budge in?
Only Shen Liangchuan had the right to enter the delivery room. He, Lu Nanze, was nothing to Qiao Lian. Perhaps she would not even be quite willing to address him as Second Brother now.
Lu Nanze hung his head in despair at the thought of this.
He wanted to leave, but he was still worried about Qiao Lian. Hence he sat on the long bench and quietly waited for the outcome.
Just at this point, a couple was going up and down the stairs behind him, performing some sort of rehabilitation exercises.
The wife had a hand on her stomach and the husband was supporting her.
She panted.
This is so tiring!

He encouraged her,
The doctor has advised that you go up and down the stairs so that the uterus opens quickly. If the uterus opens quickly, there will be less pain. Honey, you have to keep going! You’ve only done this twice, we have a long way to go!

The wife took a deep breath and said,
Darling, I’m only willing to have children and go through all this pain for your sake. You have to treat me even better from now on! I would never be willing to do this for any other man, no other man is worth me going through all this pain!

Immediately, the man said,
Right, right, right. Honey, it’s tough on you! I love you.
