472: Jiang Yufei gives birth

After Lin Zifeng went downstairs, he got directly into the car, and Li Qiang drove off.

“Secretary, at our normal speed, we can reach the airport in a little over three hours, before eight o’clock. I booked a direct flight to Shen City for you at nine o’clock tonight, and you’ll arrive in Shen City before eleven.”

Li Qiang drove the car out of the Municipal Party Committee Compound, and Wang Zhongyu reported to Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng nodded in satisfaction and said, “Once we get to the airport, you and Qiang Zi should find a hotel nearby to stay. “

“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest, so just one day tomorrow.”

“Understood, Secretary. Qiang Zi and I will wait for your return at the airport.”

Wang Zhongyu quickly said.

Lin Zifeng remembered the dinner he had arranged with Wan Guoliang for the evening, and quickly took out his phone to call Wan Guoliang.

After the call connected, Lin Zifeng apologized to Wan Guoliang, explaining that he would have to miss the evening’s appointment and stating the reason.

Of course, Wan Guoliang wouldn't blame Lin Zifeng for standing him up, because he knew that Lin Zifeng wouldn't break their appointment unless it was an urgent matter.

Wan Guoliang also reminded him to pay attention to safety on the road, and they agreed to meet again next time before hanging up.

After hanging up with Wan Guoliang, Lin Zifeng sent a message to Chen Yuxi, telling her that he wouldn't be able to return until Sunday night, as he had some matters to handle.

Chen Yuxi didn't pry, simply acknowledging that she understood and not asking what matters he needed to handle. This was one aspect Lin Zifeng liked about Chen Yuxi.

Knowing that Lin Zifeng had an urgent matter, Li Qiang drove both quickly and steadily, so in less than three hours, he drove the car into the temporary parking area of the airport terminal.

Lin Zifeng bid farewell to Wang Zhongyu and Li Qiang, then walked into the terminal alone.

Lin Zifeng picked up his plane ticket with his ID, passed security, and sat in a corner of the waiting hall, waiting for the boarding time.

About half an hour later, after passing security, Lin Zifeng, along with other passengers, gradually boarded the plane.

Wang Zhongyu had booked Lin Zifeng a first-class seat, so shortly after the plane took off, a beautiful flight attendant came to Lin Zifeng and politely asked, “Hello, distinguished guest, do you need any service?”

“I rushed to catch the flight and didn’t even have dinner. Please bring me something to eat and drink!”

Lin Zifeng said with a smile, without being overly polite.

“Certainly, would you prefer Western or Chinese food?” the flight attendant inquired, her smile unchanging.

“Chinese food,” Lin Zifeng replied.

The flight attendant nodded and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”

After saying this, the flight attendant left.

In less than a minute, the flight attendant returned, carrying a tray with a beef rice bowl and a glass of juice.

The flight attendant thoughtfully pulled out the small dining table and placed the tray on it. “Sir, you may now dine.”

After thanking her, Lin Zifeng began to eat heartily. It was already past nine o'clock, and Lin Zifeng was starving, so in less than ten minutes, he had finished the beef rice bowl completely and drank more than half a glass of juice.

At this moment, the flight attendant approached Lin Zifeng again, smiling, “Sir, are you full? Would you like another serving?”

“No, I’m full, thank you for your very thoughtful service.”

“It’s my pleasure, you’re welcome.”

As the flight attendant spoke, she picked up the tray, folded away the small dining table, smiled sweetly at Lin Zifeng, and then left again.

Before leaving, the flight attendant slipped a small note with a phone number into Lin Zifeng’s hand.

Lin Zifeng waited until she was far away, then tossed the note aside without even looking at it.

Lin Zifeng covered himself with a blanket and half-reclined in his seat, closing his eyes and thinking to himself, “As expected of first class! The service is so thoughtful, the seats are more comfortable, and the flight attendants are beautiful enough, but I’m not in the mood for a romantic encounter.”

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Zifeng had already fallen asleep.

When the plane jolted upon landing, Lin Zifeng woke up. Ten minutes later, Lin Zifeng, along with other passengers, arrived at the terminal. Since he had no checked luggage, he was the first to exit the terminal.

Stepping out of the terminal, Lin Zifeng felt the difference in temperature. Fortunately, he had good physical fitness and was very resistant to cold. He wore an over-the-knee wool coat outside and a long-sleeved white shirt inside.

So, he took off his wool coat, draped it over his arm, and it didn't seem so out of place.

Lin Zifeng approached a taxi and asked, “Driver, are you going?”

“Yes, get in!” the taxi driver quickly replied.

Hearing the taxi driver's reply, Lin Zifeng opened the rear door and sat in the back seat.

After he stated the name of the maternity hospital where Jiang Yufei was, the driver drove away.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yufei had already given birth successfully, delivering a healthy baby boy weighing seven pounds and six ounces. Both mother and child were safe and had been transferred to the VIP ward two hours earlier.

The ward was a suite. The Nanny had already gone home, and Jiang Yufei, under Zheng Mengmeng's care, had eaten a large bowl of millet porridge and had recovered much of her strength.

The Little fellow, who had just been born, was admired by Jiang Yufei and Zheng Mengmeng for over half an hour before being taken by the Maternity Matron to the outer room for care.

Only then did Zheng Mengmeng say, “Yufei, it’s a good thing you and your baby are safe. When you were in the delivery room, my heart was in my throat, so afraid that something dangerous would happen to you.

Although medicine is advanced now, childbirth is still a matter of life and death! I was so nervous.

And Yu Mingli had to go on a business trip at this critical moment. It would have been better if she were here.”

“Thank you so much this time, Mengmeng. Having good sisters like you and Mingli is the luckiest thing in my life.

Without you and Mingli, I wouldn't know how I would have gotten to this point alone in Shen City.”

Jiang Yufei said in a somewhat weak voice.

“We’re good sisters for life, so saying that is too formal. If Mingli and I had problems, wouldn’t you help us the same way?

However, Yuxi, our relationship is so good, we can say anything to each other. Mingli and I are both very curious about your child’s father, but you always keep silent about it.

Given our relationship, even if your child’s father is a married man, or an old man, Mingli and I wouldn’t laugh at you. I don’t know what you’re worried about.”

Zheng Mengmeng said with great confusion.

Hearing what Zheng Mengmeng said, Jiang Yufei felt that since they had helped her so much, it would be unreasonable if she didn't reveal some information.

So, after a moment of thought, Jiang Yufei began, “Mengmeng, I didn’t mean to hide it from you and Mingli, but the child’s father has a rather special identity, and if this matter were to be exposed, it would bring him negative consequences.

We used to be colleagues and worked together for a long time. I fell in love with him not long after I met him, secretly loving him, but never expressing my feelings to him.

But later, he fell in love with another girl and quickly married her.

I also tried to lessen my feelings for him, but I couldn't do it. That period was very painful for me.

Later, I was unwilling to just be an observer witnessing his happiness. Unable to suppress my feelings, I actively pursued him after his marriage.

Through my efforts, I finally got what I wanted and secretly got together with him, and later had a child.

This matter was my initiative, including having this child. No matter how you and Mingli see me, I will not regret secretly being his woman!

I also don't want to affect his family and his career.
