Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 338: Little Stone

Great Doctor Miao shook his head, "Sit down, I'll get some ointment and help you bandage those marks."

After ascertaining that Chu Lian would be fine, He Changdi could finally relax. He wasn't too concerned about the bite marks on his arm either. When he saw that Great Doctor Miao had left, he sat back down by Chu Lian's side.

Once the doctor had helped to bandage the wounds, He Changdi moved a chaise over to Chu Lian's bedside.

He had rushed over here from Prince Jin's Estate. Furthermore, he hadn't been resting well for some time. After accompanying Chu Lian for the delivery that had taken all night and being on tenterhooks, Chu Lian was now safe and sound. Thus, He Changdi's entire mind could finally relax. Fatigue overtook him.

He Changdi laid on the chaise without changing out of his clothes. He took Chu Lian's hand into his own and gripped that smooth and soft hand. As his mind reached a peaceful state, he drifted off into dreamland.

It was afternoon when Chu Lian woke up.

The moment she blinked and moved a little, He Changdi woke up along with her.

For a period after waking up, Chu Lian was still in a daze. A slight throb of pain from her body served to remind her of what had happened. When she looked down at her now deflated belly, her almond-shaped eyes went wide, and she mumbled under her breath, "My belly..."

He Changdi quickly sat over at her side and held down her slender shoulders, "Lian'er, Uncle Miao said that you can't move too much after the birth."

Upon hearing her husband's low, magnetic voice, Chu Lian turned to look at him, "Hubby, our child?"

"Do you want to see our child?" He Changdi truly relaxed when he observed the clear look in her eyes and the healthy flush on her cheeks. His nimble fingers reached out and tucked some stray locks of hair behind her ear.

Chu Lian nodded impatiently, her eyes alight. That was the child she had birthed, of course she wanted to see them!

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

He Changdi was carried along by her excitement. His eyes softened as he looked at her. He turned his body slightly and held her head in his hands. A tender kiss was placed on her pink lips before he whispered into her ear, "A boy."

Chu Lian didn't show any surprise. Her eyes turned into crescents. No matter the gender, she loved their child already.

She was observing He Changdi's expression. When she noticed that he didn't seem to be happy at all when speaking of their child, Chu Lian immediately frowned.

She asked hesitantly, "You... you don't like our child?"

Thinking back to He Changdi's past experiences, Chu Lian's heart was filled with uncertainty. Since he had already gone through one lifetime, he might really dislike children somehow...

Chu Lian's thoughts were all displayed clearly on her face. He Changdi instantly realised that his wife was thinking too much again.

He stroked the side of her face with his thumb, then moved his hand over to the center of her brows. He pressed down the furrow that had developed there, "Not at all. He's the child you've given me, how could I not like him? I'm just a little angry that he made you suffer so much during his birth."

Chu Lian hurriedly shook her head. Although she had indeed suffered a lot during the delivery, and she had even wanted to die from the pain, the feeling of having a tiny new life by her side, one that she had made herself, turned all of her complaints into tender affection. Thinking of how the little fellow would soon grow up bit by bit, learning how to walk, to talk, and to call out to his parents, as well as how he would become a strong man, her heart was filled with endless anticipation.
