Chapter 1627 Celebration
1627 Celebration
When the entire family was lounging in the garden, they suddenly heard Lu Han's panicked voice. "Qin Xiu, what happened?"
"I think… ah… we need to hurry… to the hospital…" she replied in a pained voice. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone rushed towards them. An ambulance was already stationed at the Lu Mansion in anticipation of this very emergency, and two nurses had been on standby. Qin Xiu was quickly taken to the hospital in the ambulance.
The elders stayed back at the mansion with Ning Jiahui and Lu Jinhai, while Lu Lijun, Yuyan, and Lu Han's parents accompanied them to the hospital.
In the waiting room, Lu Han paced restlessly as time dragged on. Lu Lijun, uncertain of how to comfort his brother, felt helpless due to his lack of experience in such situations.
Finally, Su Hui spoke up, "Lu Han, just sit down. You're making me dizzy by pacing back and forth. She's not the only woman giving birth. Don't worry, the doctors will take care of her."
"I'm trying, Mother, but I just can't stay calm," Lu Han replied, still anxious.
Lu Lijun handed him a water bottle. "Here, have some."
Lu Han took a deep breath and drank a few sips. "How long is this going to take? It's already been almost an hour."
"We can't say for sure," Su Hui responded. "You gave me three hours of pain."
"Three hours?" Lu Han exclaimed in disbelief. He vividly recalled the pain Qin Xiu had been in an hour before they arrived at the hospital. "That's ridiculous."
"So you think giving birth is easy?" Su Hui asked, raising an eyebrow. "All three of you were more stubborn than others. Lu Feng was the most difficult one, and he hasn't changed much since then."
Lu Lijun glanced at Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting quietly in one of the chairs. She looked back at him, and they exchanged a silent gaze, as if sharing an unspoken understanding.
Lu Lijun, as if imagining he couldn't bear seeing Jiang Yuyan in such pain, felt a wave of emotions he couldn't express. Jiang Yuyan's thoughts, however, remained unknown. He went to her and offered her some water as well, then sat beside her.
"Do you want anything else?" he asked softly.
She shook her head, and he gently reached out to hold her hand, offering her a comforting touch. Though he wasn't sure what was going through her mind, he decided to leave the conversation for another time. For now, Lu Han and Qin Xiu were the priority.
Another hour passed, and Lu Han couldn't stop feeling anxious. Then, finally, the doctor arrived.
Lu Han hurried over to him, and the others stood up as well.
"How is my wife?" he asked anxiously.
The doctor smiled. "She's perfectly fine and has given birth to a beautiful baby boy. Congratulations, you're now a father."
A mix of disbelief and happiness washed over Lu Han's face, while the others shared in his joy.
"C-Can I go see my wife?" Lu Han stammered.
"You can, but after a little while. A nurse will let you know," the doctor assured him. He then turned to Lu Chen and Su Hui. "Congratulations," he said before leaving.
Su Hui walked over to her son, and he immediately hugged her. "Mother, she's alright."

Su Hui hugged him back. "I told you she'd be fine." She pulled back to look at him with a smile. "Thank you for making me a grandma. I've been waiting for this moment for so long."
Lu Chen embraced his son next, his face beaming with pride and happiness. "I'll inform everyone at home. Elder brother has already called me several times," he said, stepping away with his phone.
Meanwhile, Lu Lijun and Yuyan congratulated Lu Han as well. Soon after, they were allowed to meet Qin Xiu and view the baby through the glass partition of the room. The rest of the family was asked to visit the next day as it was late at night. Except for Lu Han and Su Hui, everyone returned home.
In the car, Lu Lijun held Yuyan's hand as he drove with the other. For some reason, he didn't want to let go.
When they arrived home and were getting ready for bed, Lu Lijun noticed that Jiang Yuyan seemed lost in thought. He decided to talk to her as they lay comfortably in bed, wrapped in each other's arms under the soft glow of the night lamp.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked gently, his voice barely above a whisper.
"That we have another beautiful baby in the family," she replied softly.
He hummed in response and continued to caress her back gently. "Were you scared when they talked about how long it would take for the baby to be delivered?"
She shook her head. "No, but I'm sure you were.
Lu Lijun hummed softly. "I feel like I wouldn't be able to bear seeing you in any kind of pain, not even labor pain."
The room fell silent for a while before Jiang Yuyan spoke again, her voice tinged with sadness. "For that to happen, I'd have to get pregnant first."
His hold around her tightened in response, as if to comfort her. They hadn't been using any protection, but still, there were no results. It was understandable that she felt disheartened.
"Do you really want a baby?" he asked gently.
"Don't you?" she countered.
"I do, but only because you'd be their mother. If we don't have one, I'm okay with that too. What matters most to me is having you by my side."
"But I really want us to have our own child," she admitted softly. "I'm not sure why... The doctor said my condition has improved… I just feel bad for neglecting it, and now…" She trailed off, her voice wavering.
"It's alright. Let's leave it to fate," he coaxed, his voice warm and reassuring. "If we're meant to have a child, we will. And if not, I'll make sure to keep you so happy that you won't feel like you're missing anything in life."
She hugged him tightly, feeling the depth of his love. In that moment, she realized she shouldn't be sad about what she didn't have but instead be happy about what she did.
"Yuyan?" he murmured suddenly.
"Hmm?"
"You're an aunt now, and I'm an uncle once more. Isn't this a moment of happiness?"
"Yes," she agreed.
"Then don't you think we should celebrate it?"
She looked up at him, a playful frown on her face. "In the middle of the night? Everyone is asleep."
He gazed into her beautiful eyes, his hands gently caressing her face. "The kind of celebration I'm talking about is best enjoyed at night… when no one else is around." His fingers trailed down to her lips, stroking them lightly, his gaze growing more intense. "What do you think?"
"You were in the hospital this morning, and you still have bandages around your head," she reminded him.
"It won't get in the way. You know that well. It's just a minor injury. The rest of me is perfectly fine. Want me to prove it?" As he spoke, his two fingers slipped into her mouth, prompting her to respond.
Jiang Yuyan didn't need any instructions. She gently sucked on his fingers, a gesture that felt utterly seductive to him. "Do you know how tempting you look right now? You're a true seductress."
She let go of his fingers. "You made me that way."
He raised a brow, and she rolled her eyes. "Alright, I've always been this way, but only for my man."
"That's a very honest answer," he murmured. "Even though I said we should leave it to destiny, it seems destiny wants us to keep doing what we're supposed to do."
"Just say you're feeling horny again and want to have sex," she teased, narrowing her eyes at him. "No need to talk in circles."
"Now that you've figured it out, let's have sex now," he said, rolling her onto the bed and getting on top of her. "Let's do it until we can't anymore."
"Tomorrow, we have to—"
"Tomorrow, the entire family will go to the hospital, and we'll still be in bed," he interrupted, sealing her lips with a passionate kiss.
"Lijun…"
"Shh! I'm not letting you go. Just enjoy it."
"You're way too horny for me to handle."
"Only you can keep up with me. You're strong."
"I'll probably get older before you do, and I wonder if I'll have any of my bones left in place by then."
"I'll keep them in place for you. Now focus," he said impatiently, pulling off her top. "Damn, why do you keep getting prettier every day? All I want is to devour you."
"Your words… I'll never get used to them," she murmured helplessly, lying back as his hands and mouth worked their magic on her.
"Just getting used to my body is enough," he replied between kisses, his hands caressing her soft mounds, drawing moans from her lips. "You're still so tight for me to enter with ease."
"You're just too big. Not my fault," she whispered breathlessly.
"Well, it feels good to see you in discomfort at the start. It makes me want to go rough on you and hurt you even more."
"Monster."
"Don't you like it when I'm a monster? All I hear is you asking for more."
"Stop talking and embarrassing me."
"Alright," he murmured, already having stripped her of her clothes and resorting to actions that pleased his woman the most.
His strong body moved between her legs with powerful thrusts, each one drawing out louder moans from her—a melody to his ears.
After what seemed like an eternity, she was finally allowed to lay on her stomach. Her sweat-drenched, limp body felt utterly drained of any strength. Lu Lijun collapsed over her, panting heavily against her damp back.
"No matter how much I have you, it's never enough," he whispered breathlessly into her ear.
