169: Chapter 169 Mother and Child Safe

"Is this... her water breaking?"

Li Ru and Xu Xue exclaimed in unison, their expressions turning anxious: "Quick, take Shi Wei to the hospital!"

Fang Zhuo sat up at once, gently picked up Bai Shiwei, placed her on a stretcher, and rushed to Xinyue City First Hospital.

"The water breaking is a signal of impending labor. I'll check the fetal heart rate and cervical dilation first. Family members, pack up the delivery bag and head to the delivery room with me."

Inside Xinyue City First Hospital, a nurse pushed the hospital bed, her fingers resting on the monitor, her tone brisk yet serious.

"Okay."

Fang Zhuo's heart was beating abnormally fast as he followed closely behind the nurse.

They didn't stay in the waiting room for long.

The nurse hurried in: "Everything is ready, wheel her to the delivery room!"

At the delivery room door, the nurse looked back at Fang Zhuo: "Family members, stay here and wait. Rest assured, just wait for news."

Fang Zhuo nodded, watching Bai Shiwei, who lay on the hospital bed in some pain, being wheeled into the delivery room. He felt his mouth and throat go dry, and his breathing quickened significantly.

He stood in front of the delivery room door, pacing back and forth, unable to sit still.

"Grandson, don't be nervous. It's just giving birth. Shi Wei is a Transcendent Martial Artist, she'll be fine." Fang Dawei sat on a bench, looking at the pacing Fang Zhuo, and comforted him.

"That's right. When Mom gave birth to your sister and brother, it was nothing."

Li Ru chimed in from the side.

"Mm, I know."

Fang Zhuo nodded. Having heard about Chairman Song Shou's child, he was now somewhat relieved. Fortunately, when Shi Wei was pregnant, she and he were both Transcendent Martial Artists at the same Life Level.

Otherwise, there might have been some hidden risks.

Although he knew there would likely be no problems—in fact, because two Transcendent Martial Artists were matched, the offspring would be exceptionally healthy and highly likely to have great talent.

Yet, Fang Zhuo remained nervous.

Sigh... This was far more nerve-wracking than heading to the Wilderness Area back then to find Ding Nan, facing weapons, or his first Transcendent battle where it was a life-or-death struggle...!

An old-fashioned clock hung on the wall of the waiting area. The slight 'tick-tock' sound of the second hand felt exceptionally piercing to Fang Zhuo's ears.

Time passed minute by minute.

Fang Zhuo felt every second was so long, experiencing for the first time what it meant for a day to feel like a year.

"Fang Zhuo... sit down for a while. Shi Wei isn't that fragile; she's a Transcendent Martial Artist too!"

His mother-in-law, Xu Xue, couldn't help but speak up.

However, in her view, the more agitated and nervous Fang Zhuo was, the happier she felt, as it meant her daughter held a very significant place in Fang Zhuo's heart.

"Alright, Mom."

Fang Zhuo barely listened, stopping his pacing, but he still stood in front of the bench.

Fireworks and firecrackers could be heard from outside the building from time to time. In Xinyue City, there were still many newly relocated people from the Xia Kingdom who continued to celebrate on this New Year's Eve.

Perhaps it was because Fang Zhuo was too nervous.

The people from Fang Family and the Bai family were also affected.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ru stood up and asked first: "How long has Shi Wei been in there? There should be news by now!"

"That's right..."

Xu Xue also felt it had been quite a while.

Hearing his mother and mother-in-law say this, Fang Zhuo's heart jumped out even more.

Could something have happened?

'Da da da'. Just at this moment, a series of brisk footsteps came from the delivery room door, and the door was pulled open with a 'click'.

The nurse looked at Fang Zhuo and said: "Mother and children are safe. The boy weighs 7.2 jin, and the girl weighs 6.7 jin. Now we need to observe for another two hours. After confirming everything is fine, we will send the mother and babies back to the ward, and you can see them then."

"Alright, thank you."

Fang Zhuo felt a huge sense of relief, let out a long breath, and his heart finally settled.

"Great, mother and children are safe. I told you, it's just giving birth to boy and girl twins, and Shi Wei is a Transcendent Martial Artist; there wouldn't be any problems."

Li Ru had just stood up, and hearing the nurse's words, she also visibly relaxed and smiled at Fang Zhuo: "When I gave birth to Xiaojing and Fang Hu, it was also over in a breeze."

"..."

Fang Zhuo didn't expose his own mother. It was as if, apart from him, you weren't the first one to be nervous just now...

"Speaking of which, these two little ones aren't light! Our Shi Wei knows how to raise children; her daily routine and diet must have been strictly controlled."

Fang Dawei said with a smile.

For ordinary twins, each baby rarely exceeds 6.5 jin.

Li Ru added: "That's right, Shi Wei has been very hardworking during this time. Her routine was like a robot's, precise to every minute."

"As a mother, she's been very tired, unlike the father of the two children, who is obsessed with cultivation and doesn't pay much attention to his children and wife."

"Mom..."

Fang Zhuo called out resentfully.

But he didn't explain anything.

Shi Wei's good routine was crucial for pregnancy, but consuming 'stone milk crystal' worth billions daily to nourish her body certainly contributed immensely to the pregnancy's success, right!

"Fang Zhuo is the head of the household, and now he's a Genius attracting the Federation's attention. He might have burdens within the Starry Sky Group."

Xu Xue helped smooth things over: "Fang Zhuo's mom, you should also be understanding of Fang Zhuo."

Fang Wu and Bai Qiming sat on the side, looked at each other, said nothing, and had smiles on their faces.

This waiting area was filled with the joy of Fang Family and the Bai family.

...

"Wah woo~~"

"Eeya~ Ying~"

In the room, Fang Zhuo was by the crib, and the two babies were launching a sonic attack on him simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right.

He was somewhat at a loss, his hands stretched out in the air, thinking for a long time before squeezing out half a sentence: "Babies, be good, don't cry."

Hmm... which one is the son and which one is the daughter? Their bodies are wrapped up; just looking at their heads, I can't tell at all...!

Fang Zhuo was thinking.

Li Ru and Xu Xue walked over. Li Ru said softly: "Fang Zhuo, can you tell which one is Fang Zhibai and which one is Fang Yue?"

Fang Zhuo stammered for a long time, then pointed to the baby crying 'wah woo wah woo'. Such a heroic cry must be the boy, right?

"This is Fang Zhibai."

Fang Zhuo said with certainty.

Li Ru immediately laughed and shot her son a look.

Xu Xue chuckled and helped smooth things over: "This is Fang Yue. You can't just listen to the sound. Haha, this little girl's voice is a bit loud."

"Besides that... we need to look at the sound, skin color, hair, facial features, and face shape comprehensively. Look at Fang Yue's face shape; it's small and delicate, her eyebrows and eyes are slender, and her skin is relatively fairer."

After hearing his mother-in-law's explanation, Fang Zhuo looked at Fang Yue, then turned his gaze to Fang Zhibai, and sure enough, he noticed obvious differences.

Fang Zhibai's face was square, his forehead was full, and his eyebrows were relatively thick.

It's just this crying, 'eeya' is fine... but why the 'ying ying ying' sound! This kid hasn't inherited any of his masculinity at all...!

It caused him to make a fool of himself in front of both families!

When he grows up, he must give him some serious intensity training.

Beside the big bed, Bai Shiwei also raised her head slightly and said in a weak voice: "Fang Zhuo, does Fang Zhibai look more like you or me?"

Fang Zhuo observed closely and said: "Like me."

Bai Shiwei's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she quickly asked again: "What about Fang Yue?"

"Like you."

"That's good."

Bai Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief and rested her head back on the pillow.

The two families in the room showed knowing smiles.

Fang Zhuo's face darkened. Aren't I quite handsome?
