In the last month leading up to childbirth, Tang Yanqi could be said to have indulged in all the pampering she hadn’t experienced in her previous twenty-sothing years.
She was accustod to handling everything on her own, but now she was used to being a hands-off manager, as soone was happily cleaning up after her.
The weather outside finally showed signs of warming up. The lazy afternoon sunlight poured into the living room. Tang Yanqi leaned on the sofa, watching soone seriously peeling an orange for her and ticulously removing the white threads, unable to help but smile.
She knew all too well that her recent emotionality was beyond asure, but the feeling of being cherished in soone’s hands was truly addictive.
She couldn’t even imagine what the version of Tang Yanqi, who used to stand on her own through everything, was like.
Although Tang Yanqi had passed all her check-ups and her health seed no worse for wear, due to her inherently weak constitution, the doctor still advised her to be admitted to the hospital a bit earlier.
Tang Yanqi was unwilling, but in this matter, Sheng Jianan did not concur with her, prioritizing her health above all else.
Sheng Jianan brought in the best obstetrician in B City to monitor Tang Yanqi’s condition throughout and practically moved into the hospital.
In the single-patient room, Sheng Jianan had been huddling on a folding bed for several days.
His body hadn’t recovered from losing weight due to Shengshi Group’s issues, and these past few days he had gotten even thinner.
As the due date drew closer, Tang Yanqi instead beca very calm, while Sheng Jianan fumbled around like a big boy, completely losing the steadiness and maturity he had shown in the last three years.
Sheng Jianan consulted with many people who had children, but the more he asked, the more nervous he beca.
He was not only nervous himself but also afraid that Tang Yanqi would beco nervous as well.
He wanted to find soone to accompany her, but neither her relatives nor their friends had children.
In other families, mothers are usually there to help alleviate the nervousness of new parents to a large extent.
But Tang Yanqi’s mother was gone, and Mrs. Sheng... best not to ntion her.
On the fourth day of Tang Yanqi’s hospitalization, Mr. Sheng ca by. She hadn’t seen him since the al at the Sheng Family’s old house.
It was unclear whether Sheng Jianan wouldn’t let him visit her, or if he himself hadn’t intended to co. In any case, the two hadn’t t until now, the first ti since the incident with Mrs. Sheng.
Tang Yanqi didn’t dislike Mr. Sheng, but didn’t feel close to him either.
Compared to the last ti they t, Mr. Sheng looked much older. Now, if soone said he was Sheng Jianan’s father, probably no one would believe it.
Mr. Sheng brought so fruit, sat by Tang Yanqi’s bedside for a while, and asked after her health and the child’s condition.
Then, not staying long, he got up to leave. Before leaving, he said to Tang Yanqi, "I know I have no right to say this, but I still want to tell you, I’m sorry, child, you’ve been through a lot."
Watching Mr. Sheng’s lonely figure leave the ward, a phrase suddenly popped into Tang Yanqi’s mind, "Marrying the wrong person ruins a lifeti, marrying into the wrong family ruins three generations."
There was truth in that statent.
Mr. Sheng was bereaved of his daughter-in-law, Mr. Sheng lost his wife, father, and son’s affections, Sheng Jianan felt guilty towards his beloved due to his mother’s actions, and the dazzling idol figure had a tarnished reputation.
All this, thanks to the sa woman.
Tang Yanqi did not resent them, probably because, like her, they were all victims.
