Situ Xin listened to the voices outside, and laughed. Of course, no one could see Situ Xin laugh right now. Who made her still just a fetus? Before slipping back into a deep sleep, Situ Xin thought to herself, how nice, this life, she should have parents who dote on her and love her, right? She should no longer be alone anymore.
When Situ Xin woke up again, she felt a strong contraction and then it was as if something was pushing her. "Ah." "Lady Situ, push a bit harder, the birth canal is already open."
Situ Xin listened to the shouting and talking outside, and figured out what was happening—it was time for her to be born. But could someone tell her why she couldn't be notified in advance, why did she only realize she was about to be born upon waking up?
Hearing the intermittent screams of the woman outside, who should be her mother, Situ Xin felt very sympathetic. "To spare Mom a little pain, I should be more conscious." With that thought, Situ Xin pushed along with the pushing force from behind, and she even used her own strength as she was being pushed out.
"Good, Lady Situ, keep it up, we can already see the baby's head. Come on, one more time, 1, 2, 3." Following the doctor's count, Lady Situ took a deep breath and pushed again: "Ah." With Lady Situ's final effort, Situ Xin finally slid out safely from the birth canal.
Then, before Situ Xin could open her eyes, she felt someone smack her little bottom a few times, leaving her inwardly seething with indignation: "Who the heck are you, daring to spank Granny's bottom." However, with Situ Xin cursing, there came a loud wail instead.
Situ Jin, hearing her own crying, was dumbfounded. What was going on? Her curses had turned into cries. That was so embarrassing.
The doctor, who had just smacked Situ Xin's bottom, laughed and said to Lady Situ after hearing Situ Xin's cry, "Congratulations, Lady Situ, you've given birth to a lovely daughter, and the baby is very healthy. She also looks very beautiful."
"Is that so? Then bring her here for me to see." Lady Situ looked at the baby with closed eyes in front of her, her face full of happiness. This was the daughter she had carried for ten months.
Situ Xin also wanted to open her eyes to see what her mother looked like in this life, but she couldn't. She was still a newborn and didn't have the ability to open her eyes yet. Situ Xin was quite frustrated, but all she could do was wait, wait until she could open her eyes.
"Madam Situ, please let me take the baby for now. I need to give her a bath and dress her," the doctor said with a smile. "Sure, go ahead, clean our little princess well." Madam Situ released the hand she had been holding her daughter's tiny hand with, gesturing for the doctor to take her daughter away.
After bathing and dressing Situ Xin, the doctor carried her out the door. Situ Haotian, who had been waiting outside, quickly reached out to take her. "Yo, my little princess has finally come out of your mom's belly. I'm your daddy, see, remember me?" The doctor, who had been holding Situ Xin, almost couldn't believe her eyes when she saw how Situ Haotian was speaking to Situ Xin, considering how cold Situ Haotian usually appeared.
Although Situ Xin couldn't open her eyes to see what was going on outside, she still remembered the voice of her father in this life. Her almost abnormal memory could be attributed to the spiritual energy she absorbed while in her mother's belly. But at the moment, Situ Xin hadn't realized how abnormal her memory was; she wasn't aware that she had only heard her father's voice once in this life while she was in her mother's womb, spending most of her time sleeping, yet she recognized his voice instantly when he spoke.
After toying with his daughter in his arms for a bit, Situ Haotian quickly asked the doctor who had brought Situ Xin out, "How is my wife?" From Situ Haotian's tone, Situ Xin could tell that he was very anxious about his wife. "Mr. Situ, rest assured, Lady Situ is stable. She will come out shortly," the doctor respectfully informed Situ Haotian. "That's good to hear," Situ Haotian said, relieved to hear his wife was fine. "Mr. Situ, Miss Situ is one of the most beautiful babies I've delivered," the doctor remarked while looking at the infant in Situ Haotian's arms. Situ Haotian, however, took it for granted, thinking, naturally, didn't they know whose daughter she was?
"Haotian, how is Yaxin, has she given birth?" The voice was heard before the person arrived. Although Situ Xin couldn't see, her hearing was very good. She could tell the person speaking was older, at least older than her father. Situ Xin guessed that the person rushing over in such a hurry must be her grandfather in this life.
No sooner had Situ Xin finished her guess than she heard Situ Haotian shout, "Mom and Dad, Yaxin has finished giving birth; mother and daughter are safe." Having said that, Situ Haotian looked lovingly at his daughter in his arms. "Yaxin has finished, is it a girl or a boy?" Old Mr. Situ, reassured that his daughter-in-law had safely given birth, heaved a sigh of relief. After all, his daughter-in-law was like a daughter to him and his wife, as they had no daughters of their own and had always doted on her as if she were their own. And, if anything happened to her, he was sure their in-laws would come tearing his house down. "You old man, really getting on in years, didn't you hear your son say mother and daughter are safe? Our family finally has a granddaughter." Old Madam Situ, following behind her husband, grinned from ear to ear when she heard Situ Haotian's words about mother and daughter being safe.
Other families longed for sons (grandsons), but the Situ family was different. Not only the Situ family, but their in-laws too, always hoped that their daughter-in-law (daughter) would give birth to a beautiful granddaughter (granddaughter). Each hope had ended in disappointment until this third childbirth by Loo Yaxin, which luckily resulted in a girl!
