Months flew by.
Fang Miaomiao lay on the sofa in the VIP ward, a little baby fat now appearing on her once delicate face.
Wen Yanan sat beside her, his gaze occasionally falling on Fang Miaomiao. "Mom, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"
Fang Miaomiao shook her head. "I don't have much appetite."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanan nervously stood up. "Do you miss Dad? I'll call him right now."
Fang Miaomiao smiled and gestured for Wen Yanan to come over. "Don't be silly, An'an, come here."
Wen Yanan obediently sat next to Fang Miaomiao.
Looking at the face that had shed its baby fat, Fang Miaomiao's heart softened. "An'an has grown up."
"Because An'an wants to protect Mom's baby," Wen Yanan said with a smile, looking at Fang Miaomiao's belly. "I want to protect Mom and the baby with Dad."
"Silly boy, you're still a child yourself. How can you protect the baby inside me?"
Wen Yanan pouted. "I don't care, I can protect the baby. Mom, don't worry, I'll train hard and eat well, and I'll definitely be able to protect you and the baby."
"Good boy," Fang Miaomiao felt her eyes sting.
"Mom, don't be afraid. Dad and I will always be by your side."
"Okay, I believe my An'an. An'an is definitely the best big brother in the world."
Wen Yanan's eyes curved into a smile.
Just then, Fang Miaomiao felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Wen Yanan quickly noticed Fang Miaomiao's distress. "Does your stomach hurt? Wait here, I'll call the doctor right now."
Saying that, he quickly got up and pressed the call button.
Soon.
Doctors and nurses rushed in, efficiently moving Fang Miaomiao to the operating room.
Wen Yanan followed, his legs running. He shakily made a phone call.
"Dad, Mom is going to give birth. Hurry to the hospital."
On the other end of the line, Wen Zhiyan abruptly stood up. "Postpone the meeting. I've already arranged everything else. You guys carry on. Xin Xuan, come here."
"Immediately."
The car sped towards the hospital.
"Master Wen, don't worry. Technology is so advanced now, and Madam is in good condition. Everything will be fine."
Wen Zhiyan covered his trembling right hand with his left. "I'm just worried. Why did it happen suddenly?"
This was about a week earlier than the due date.
Xin Xuanlai, while driving, soothed Wen Zhiyan. "Perhaps the little baby is just eager to come out and see you, right?"
Wen Zhiyan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
After the car entered the garage, he strode directly towards the elevator.
Xin Xuanlai, who had rushed in just as the elevator doors closed, sighed. "..."
Alright, it was his Master Wen's first time seeing his child. It was normal to be nervous.
"An'an."
"Dad." Upon seeing Wen Zhiyan, Wen Yanan rushed towards him as if he were his anchor. "Will Mom be alright? Mom has been in there for so long."
"No, Mom will be fine. Mom has had all her check-ups, so she'll be fine. Don't worry."
"But, Dad, why are your hands shaking?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Your dad just can't bear to see your mother in pain." Wen Zhiyan's gaze never left the operating room. "Why isn't Mom screaming? Is she in too much pain to even scream?"
"Dad, Mom will be fine."
"Yes, your mother is blessed. She will be fine."
Despite his words, Wen Zhiyan was silently praying to heaven, hoping for Miaomiao's safety.
Soon, the operating room door opened.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
"Mother and daughter are safe. However, the baby is a bit premature. She's in the special care unit. The mother will be brought out later. Don't worry."
"That's good, that's good. Are there any problems with the baby?"
"We need to conduct a series of tests before we can determine if there are any issues with the baby."
"Doctor, when can we go see our little sister?" Wen Yanan asked nervously.
"You can see her in a little while."
"Thank you."
Wen Yanan tugged at Wen Zhiyan. "Dad, we'll go to Mom's ward together later. You stay with Mom, and I'll go see my little sister, okay?"
"Of course. You can even take a few photos with your phone. Mom might want to see her sister when she wakes up."
"Mhm, mhm."
Soon, a nurse pushed Fang Miaomiao out.
Fang Miaomiao smiled at Wen Zhiyan. "You're here."
"You've worked hard, my dear Miaomiao," Wen Zhiyan carefully and reverently held Fang Miaomiao's hand. "How can my Miaomiao be so amazing?"
"Wen Zhiyan, I want to sleep."
"Okay, Miaomiao sleep. I'll stay here and watch over you, not going anywhere."
Back in the ward, Wen Zhiyan stayed by Fang Miaomiao's side, while Wen Yanan went with Xin Xuanlai to the special care unit to see his baby sister.
"Let me carry you."
"Thank you, Brother Xin Xuanlai."
Once lifted, Wen Yanan could finally get a clear look at the tiny figure in the incubator. He said with a touch of pity, "Why is my sister so small?"
"Because she's premature. She'll grow just like any other child with time. An'an, don't worry."
The concern in Wen Yanan's eyes didn't lessen. He secretly vowed to protect his sister and ensure no one could bully her. From now on, he would train hard. Anyone who dared to bully his sister would have to step over his dead body.
"An'an, we need to go back now."
"But I want to stay here and accompany my sister for a little longer," Wen Yanan said reluctantly.
"But we need to go back and see Madam too, right? Madam might be disappointed if she wakes up and doesn't see An'an."
Wen Yanan thought for a moment. "Then I'll take some photos to show Mom first, and then come back to accompany my sister. But if my sister is here alone, what if other babies are brought in? Will she get lost?"
"No, the doors to the special care unit are password-protected, and there are cameras all around." Besides, anyone admitted here was from one of A City's top families. The hospital administration would never be so irresponsible.
Wen Yanan finally relaxed. "Brother Xin Xuanlai, please put me down. Let's go find Mom."
"Okay, let's go find Madam."
"Brother Xin Xuanlai, when can my sister come out of the special care unit and stay in the same room as Mom and me?"
"That will depend on when the doctor completes a full examination and ensures she's perfectly healthy. Only then can she be moved to a regular ward to stay with her mother."
Wen Yanan nodded obediently.
