Chapter 501 Luckily I had a vasectomy, otherwise I would have caused more trouble.

Xie Mingzhu nodded frantically beside her.

"I've heard about that too, so I've postponed all the work I have on hand, extending the project deadline to a month later. I'll stay with you for this month and make sure you're not bored, sad, or depressed!"

Xie Mingzhu patted her chest.

"Tell your sister what's wrong!"

Ye Zhanying also patted his chest.

"Me too!"

Ye Zhanying's speaking style is just like his doing style—both are decisive and quite direct.

Huang Meiling, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle.

“I originally thought Mingzhu and Yingying were like sisters, but now it seems that the three of you are more like sisters.”

"Zhan Ying seems much more mature now; she knows how to care for and look after others."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhanying smiled sheepishly and then sighed deeply, feigning seriousness.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Ever since I met Yingying, I seem to have suddenly realized what it means for a woman to have responsibility and commitment."

Ye Zhanying spoke with such force and seriousness that Xie Mingzhu, who was standing next to him, almost spat out her water.

That sounds a bit strange.

Ye Zhanying was still saying in a serious tone: "It is said that in one's life, one will meet someone who helps one grow, and that person who helped me grow is you, Yingying!"

Ye Zhanying got so excited that she accidentally bit her tongue while speaking, making her pronunciation unclear.

But this did not dampen her enthusiasm for speaking. Ye Zhanying reached out and gently lifted Shu Ying's fingertips, narrowed her eyes, and spoke in a tone as if she were performing in a play.

"It's all my fault for being born the wrong gender, and for meeting you at the wrong time, making you Xie Zhiyan's wife..."

Outside the door, Qi Zecheng couldn't stand it any longer and quickly pushed the door open, covering Ye Zhanying's mouth before she could say another word.

"Shut up! Do you want to ruin this family?! Wake up, you're a girl!"

Hahahaha—

Shu Ying, Xie Mingzhu, Huang Meiling, and Yang Wanxiao were on the verge of tears.

This little incident actually made Shu Ying quite happy.

When the surgeon came in, he originally wanted to say a few words to comfort Shu Ying and tell her not to be nervous, but he didn't expect to see Shu Ying smiling when he came in.

She was also somewhat surprised and amused.

"I've delivered so many babies, but this is the first time I've seen such a wonderful atmosphere in your family."

As Dr. Liu spoke, he came over to take Shuying's blood pressure and did some basic examinations.

"Seeing how good your family atmosphere is, I know you must have taken good care of yourself during your pregnancy, which puts my mind at ease."

"As long as the pregnant woman and the fetus are in good condition, things will generally go smoothly."

Soon, the examination was completed, and the doctors had prepared the operating room to take Shuying inside.

As Shu Ying was wheeled to the operating room door, she took a deep breath, and Xie Zhiyan immediately stepped forward and tightly grasped Democracy's hand.

That hand was cold and trembling, and the eyes that looked over were full of heartache, but he couldn't care less about himself; his heart and eyes were filled with Shu Ying.

"Yingying...does it hurt?"

Shu Ying smiled and shook her head, then squeezed Xie Zhiyan's hand.

"There's no sign of the children starting yet, so I don't feel anything."

"But don't worry, everything is as expected, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Trust me, I am a doctor myself, I can't be wrong."

"Wait for me a moment, my babies and I will be out soon."

Shu Ying patted Xie Zhiyan's hand and smiled as she told him to step back.

Xie Zhiyan slowly and painstakingly released Shu Ying's hand and retreated step by step.

What was clearly just a few steps away felt like crossing an insurmountable chasm to Xie Zhiyan.

He stared intently at Shu Ying, his worried and fearful eyes fixed on her. Everything before him seemed to slow down, making the ordeal even more unbearable.

Xie Zhiyan watched Shu Ying enter the operating room. The moment the door closed and his view was completely cut off, Xie Zhiyan felt his breath and heartbeat stop for a moment.

It was as if from this very second, Shu Ying was about to face a life-or-death test.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhiyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the color drained from his face and he became extremely pale, even his eyes turned red.

Huang Meiling and Yang Wan were extremely anxious.

Yang Wan secretly wiped away her tears.

"If I could take Yingying's place, I would really like to take this knife for her..."

Huang Meiling was already feeling sorry for him, and hearing these words made her feel even more guilty and ashamed.

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry."

“Mother-in-law, please sit down. Don’t think so seriously. We have carefully inquired about the doctor who will operate on Yingying this time. He is a very famous doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, and has performed many cesarean sections. He is very experienced and there will be no problems.”

Although she said that, as a mother herself, Huang Meiling understood Yang Wan's feelings at that moment best.

Even with 99% preparation, a mother will always worry about that seemingly insignificant 1% chance of an accident happening.

Thinking about it, Huang Meiling looked up at Xie Zhiyan with annoyance.

Originally, she wanted to say a few words to vent Yang Wan's anger, but when she looked up and saw Xie Zhiyan looking so haggard and worried, she couldn't bring herself to say the words. In the end, she could only helplessly say—

"Luckily I had my tubal ligation done, otherwise I would have caused trouble for others."

Xie Wenyuan helplessly tugged at Huang Meiling's sleeve.

"Zhiyan is also very regretful and anxious. Let's not say anything now. We'll scold her after Yingying gives birth."

Ye Zhanying snorted from the side, making a sarcastic remark.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xie Zhiyan was going to have triplets. What's the use of getting a tubal ligation? Isn't it just locking the barn door after the horse has bolted?"

Qi Zecheng was almost laughing with anger, and rushed over again to cover Ye Zhanying's mouth.

"I just let go, why are you talking nonsense again? Do I have to keep covering your mouth the whole time?"

"From now on, you're not allowed to speak! I've taken control of your mouth!"

Ye Zhanying suddenly rolled her eyes and glared fiercely at Qi Zecheng.

Qi Zecheng knew from that look in Ye Zhanying's eyes that she was up to no good and was planning to take revenge on him.

Qi Zecheng looked at Xie Zhiyan with a bitter expression.

"Brother, I've offended this ancestor again for your sake. If your wife tries to get back at me after she gives birth, I don't care. You have to stand up for me!"

Xie Zhiyan was so anxious that it seemed as if the operating room was all he could see; he couldn't hear a single word.

Qi Zecheng almost cried from Ye Zhanying's glare.

Yangyang, Yueyue, and Jiangjiang stood obediently to one side, looking at Xie Zhiyan, Ye Zhanying, and then at Huang Meiling and the others, their eyes filled with confusion.

All they knew was that Shuying was going to have a baby, but they only had a vague concept of childbirth. They knew nothing about how it was done or what it would be like after being wheeled into the operating room.

Seeing the adults having such a lively discussion, the three little ones couldn't help but run over, tilting their little heads to ask questions.
