Ou Ming was speechless.

In fact, he hadn’t been in a rush in the first place, but after Mother Zhang’s speech, his heart started beating even faster.

He plucked the cigarette out of his mouth and held it in his hand. “Won’t she be hungry after spending such a long time in there?” he asked.

“Don’t worry. She’s too busy having a baby to feel hungry.”

Ou Ming felt even more upset after Mother Zhang said this.

Nearby, Qiao Ziqing noticed Ou Ming’s expression and said, “Mother Zhang, don’t scare him. Lili’s in good health. She’ll deliver the baby any minute now. Don’t worry.”

“Okay,” Ou Ming answered softly, but he kept pacing back and forth, feeling more and more upset.

By nine o’clock in the evening, Ou Huojin came over and said, “It looks like she won’t be out for a while. Hurry up and eat something. It’s important for your health.”

Qiao Ziqing looked at Ou Huojin and found that he, too, was nervous.

Ou Ming kept walking back and forth like a madman, his fists clenched at his sides. He didn’t seem to hear Ou Huojin ‘s words.

“Ou Ming, let’s eat first,” Qiao Ziqing called out to him, and Ou Ming suddenly raised his head.

He glanced at them and said, “You go ahead. I’m not hungry. I’ll wait right here for Yu Lili to come out.”

He said he was waiting for Yu Lili, not the child.

It was only a few words difference, but the meaning was one hundred percent different.

Qiao Ziqing felt distressed. Ou Huojin said, “We’ll bring you some food back later.”

“No, I’ll wait for her to come out so we can eat together.” Ou Ming looked at them and said, “Mom, is it really painful for a woman to give birth?”

“Of course it’s painful!” Qiao Ziqing looked at him and said, “Hmph, you didn’t realize that for your own mother, who gave birth to you, yet you act so concerned when your wife is the one giving birth. How typical.”

It was a simple and easy joke, but Ou Ming couldn’t laugh at all. He smiled, waved, and said, “You can go. I’ll give you news the moment she comes out.”

When Mr. and Mrs. Ou heard this, they left with Mother Zhang.

Ou Ming kept pacing about. The door of the delivery room wasn’t opened until past 11 o’clock in the evening.

His eyes instantly lit up. Ou Ming rushed forward and said, “How was it?”

“Congratulations. It’s a little princess.”

A little princess?

A little princess!

Ou Ming was ecstatic and shouted out loud, “A girl? A princess? Oh my dear goodness!”

Ou Ming walked up to look at the baby, which was swaddled in a blanket. He immediately turned to the doctor and asked, “Where’s my wife?”

“She’s still inside. Somebody will push her out soon. I can show you the child first, and we’ll transfer your wife to the maternity ward later.” The nurse held the child, looked at Ou Ming with a confused expression on her face, and said, “Don’t… you want to hold your daughter?”

“Yes, yes…” Ou Ming reached out to hold her, but he kept looking inside the room. “Can I go in and see my wife?”

“Wait a minute. You should hold your daughter first!” the nurse said. “So you just want to see your wife, not the child?”

Ou Ming was embarrassed. He looked at the reddish child in front of him, and in an instant, he was full of heartfelt joy.

He gently held the baby in his arms with a cautious look on his face.

“Be careful. The mother’s coming out now. Out of the way!”

There was the sound of a bed being pushed about inside, so Ou Ming immediately tried to glance into the room. He caught sight of Yu Lili, who was lying in the hospital bed, and immediately walked over to her.

The nurse looked frightened and shouted, “Be careful!”
