Chapter 727 Labor Pains
Chapter 727 Labor Pains
Seeing Cheng Yunchuan speaking, Shen Siqi was afraid that everyone would feel embarrassed so he immediately changed the subject.
After hearing what Shen Siqi said, Cheng Yunchuan nodded and concentrated on eating breakfast, stopping himself from thinking about those inexplicable things.
At half past eight, Shen Siqi took Cheng Yunchuan to work from the villa on time.
For the whole morning, Cheng Yunchuan thought that he could work peacefully as long as he stopped thinking about it. However, he still overestimated himself. He simply could not calm down and concentrate on his work behind his desk. He felt as if he was being controlled by an invisible hand.
He felt inexplicably irritable and depressed, and seeing that he could no longer concentrate on his work, Cheng Yunchuan simply put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to empty his mind.
He had a growing feeling that Jiang Mubai was about to give birth, but apart from that, Cheng Yunchuan couldn't do anything for Jiang Mubai. He couldn't even do something as simple as staying by her side. Cheng Yunchuan felt more and more that running such a big company seemed to have no meaning at all.
It seemed as if even the things he had done during this period of time had suddenly lost their value. Cheng Yunchuan became upset and began to deny what he had done in his heart.
Shen Siqi had something to ask Cheng Yunchuan to deal with. He knocked on the door of the office for a long time but got no response from Cheng Yunchuan. However, Cheng Yunchuan's secretary told him that Cheng Yunchuan himself was in the office and had not come out yet.
Thinking of Cheng Yunchuan's condition today, Shen Siqi was so worried that without waiting for Cheng Yunchuan's response, he opened the door and walked in. Seeing Cheng Yunchuan standing by the window in good health, Shen Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yunchuan's secretary wanted to follow in to see what was going on, but was sent out by Shen Siqi.
"There's nothing for you to do here, go and get busy."
The secretary's eyes moved back and forth between Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi. When he couldn't see any problem, he obediently withdrew.
Cheng Yunchuan didn't react until Shen Siqi walked over to him, "What's the matter?"
"I have something that I need you to take care of. I knocked on your door for a long time but you didn't answer. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I came in to check on you right away, didn't I?"
"What could possibly happen to me? Stop worrying and tell me why you're looking for me."
"Who knows? Anyway, you kept your worries to yourself without telling us."
Shen Siqi followed Cheng Yunchuan to the desk while complaining. He placed all the documents in his hand in front of Cheng Yunchuan: "This is the contract that the legal department has just drafted. I see they have finished it, so they will bring it to you right away to have a look."
Cheng Yunchuan took the contract that was about to be signed with his partner and read it carefully. Although he was troubled by Jiang Mubai's affairs, he did not want to mix his personal feelings into work matters.
After Shen Siqi explained everything to Cheng Yunchuan, he did not leave immediately. Cheng Yunchuan did not pay any attention to him and concentrated on reading the contract.
After waiting for dozens of minutes, Cheng Yunchuan finally finished reading the document and asked Shen Siqi: "Is there anything else?"
"I don't have anything to say. But you didn't want to say anything at home this morning. I think you might be considering Manman and Wu You. Now there are only two of us left in the office. If you have anything to say, just tell me. You won't be embarrassed, right?"
"I'm not embarrassed, I'm just afraid that you'll laugh at me if I tell you."
"Are you still worried about Mu Bai? Only she and the child can make you like this. You haven't been this distressed even when the company was in crisis."
"That's different. We can think of ways to solve the company's problems, but we have spent so much time and effort looking for so many people to solve Mu Bai's problem, but there is still no progress. What can we do if we don't have any solutions?"
"Indeed, since you are worried about Mu Bai, why don't we find someone to investigate? If Mu Bai wants to give birth, she will definitely go to the hospital. The Jiang family's background and power are difficult to investigate, but if Mu Bai comes out, there will definitely be a lot of clues. This is much simpler than investigating the Jiang family."
"This is a good idea. Give them the order now and have them act immediately. When there is any news, tell me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will tell them well. But you don't have to think about these things. I won't arrange other work for you today. You don't seem to be in the mood for it. Why don't you go home and have a rest? How about I ask them to drive downstairs to pick you up and take you home?"
Cheng Yunchuan thought about it and finally refused, "Forget it, I can't rest well at home. Once I calm down, my mind is full of Mu Bai and the child's affairs and I can't control myself at all. It's better to stay in the company and do some work to divert my attention."
"Okay, since you insist, I won't force you. I'll go down and help you explain this matter so that they can investigate it immediately."
"Go."
Jiang Mubai didn't sleep until she woke up naturally during her lunch break. Today, she was woken up by stomach pain just like she was in the early morning. But this time the pain was so severe that Jiang Mubai couldn't keep a straight face.
Zhou Xiaoying was the first to notice something was wrong with Jiang Mubai, "Mubai? What's wrong with you? You look so bad, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Zhou Xiaoying say this, Jiang An immediately woke up and rushed to the bedside to check on Jiang Mubai's condition.
"Mu Bai? Why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell? Don't be afraid, I will call a doctor to check you out right now."
Before Jiang Mubai could answer, Jiang An ran out in a hurry. Zhou Xiaoying saw it but was too late to stop him.
"Auntie Zhou, my stomach is starting to hurt a little."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai could still speak, Zhou Xiaoying stayed by her side to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, we are in the hospital now. Your father has already called the doctor. They will come to check you out and you will know what is going on. I think you are about to give birth, so don't worry."
"Ok."
Jiang Mubai also had a premonition that the baby would be born soon. After all, the pain today was unbearable, so he asked Zhou Xiaoying to take care of it.
Jiang Mubai lay on the bed for a while, silently enduring the pain. Zhou Xiaoying watched as Jiang Mubai's mouth became chapped, so she dipped a cotton swab in water and applied it on her lips.
After waiting for a while, Jiang An finally brought the doctor to the ward. After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Jiang Mubai was about to give birth, but she couldn't do it yet because her cervix was not dilated enough. She could only go into the operating room to give birth after it was fully dilated.
Jiang Mubai had no choice but to wait in the ward for his cervix to fully open. The pillow was soaked with Jiang Mubai's sweat. Jiang An felt bad and couldn't even bear to watch.
Zhou Xiaoying helped Jiang Mubai wipe her sweat and comforted her, "It's okay, giving birth is impossible to be painless. The doctor is here. Don't be afraid, Mubai. We are all here with you. Just talk to us to distract your attention."
Jiang Mubai nodded. At this moment, she had no time to talk to Zhou Xiaoying. The new round of pain in her stomach pulled the older Jiang Mubai into the vortex.
In just half an hour, Jiang Mubai felt like she was being roasted on fire. She never thought giving birth would be so painful.
