First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 190 - 190 More Scared than the Pregnant Lady



190 More Scared than the Pregnant Lady

Zhao Lingfeng laughed and asked Xie Yunjin, “Scholar Xie, I wonder if you have any misconceptions about me?”

Though this man was merely a scholar right now, when Zhao Lingfeng looked into Lu Jiao, he found out that the scholar was very talented. He was young and who knew where he would end up in the future. Therefore, it would be better not to offend him.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but chuckle as if a breeze had blown by, “What are you talking about? I am very appreciative of how well you’ve been taking care of my wife.”

By calling Lu Jiao “his wife”, he has displayed again and again how possessive he was. Zhao Lingfeng only realized a little later that the scholar was worried that he was into his wife.

!!

He was overthinking it. Though he admired Lady Lu, he truly didn’t have that kind of intention toward her.

Zhao Lingfeng couldn’t help but feel playful, “Lady Lu is such a great person. Not only is she good-looking, but she’s also a great doctor and a great cook.”

He then looked at Xie Yunjin in disappointment, “Scholar Xie is so lucky. If you didn’t get there first, I’m sure many people would want to marry her.”

Xie Yunjin’s heart felt stuffy and his face showed disdain.

Very quickly though, he noticed the playfulness in Zhao Lingfeng’s tone. His expression turned gloomy and he coldly glared at Zhao Lingfeng, “It appears to me that you are not a reliable guy. I don’t see the need for my wife to continue helping out Baohe Tang.”

Zhao Lingfeng’s expression slightly changed. Though he knew it was likely that Lu Jiao didn’t have a good relationship with Xie Yunjin, she was still his wife. If he bans her from coming, he may lose his money-making goddess.

Zhao Lingfeng instantly laughed then looked at Xie Yunjin, “I’m joking. Scholar Xie, don’t be annoyed.”

He then waved at the four little ones, “You must be hungry. Come and have some snacks.” 𝒏օν𝔢𝙡𝙗ì𝖓.𝑛𝙚t

This time, Xie Yunjin didn’t stop them and gestured for them to go ahead.

The four little ones slowly extended their hands to grab the food.

Zhao Lingfeng watched the four well-behaved children and was full of jealousy.

Inside the private room, Lu Jiao had opened up the mother’s stomach and pulled out the baby.

On the side, Qi Lei’s face was more pale and terrified than the mother’s. He sweated profusely and continued to shudder. If he didn’t bite down on his lips with all his might, he would’ve passed out.

It appeared that his master was correct. He needed to be exposed to surgery slowly. This was truly terrifying.

Lu Jiao glared at Qi Lei and gave him the baby. In a low voice, she said, “Hold him upside down and hit his butt.”

A newborn normally doesn’t know how to breathe when they are born. Hitting the baby on the butt is to force them to open up their mouths and cry. Only then does the air enter their lungs and they can learn how to breathe.

If the baby does not cry, the doctor must check the airways for signs of obstruction. If there are any foreign objects, the doctor must extract them at once.

Qi Lei struggled to take the baby per his Master’s orders. He held the baby upside down and hit the baby’s bum. The baby didn’t cry. He hit it again and the baby still didn’t cry.

Lu Jiao was worried and looked over. She discovered that Qi Lei was hitting without any power.

Lu Jiao was speechless. She ended up scolding, “Use some strength!”

This time, he succeeded and the baby cried. His cries were a little weak from being inside his mother for too long. Lu Jiao prayed there was nothing wrong.

Inside the room, Li Yuyao started to cry. This time, she cried with joy.

Lu Jiao started to stitch her up. As she stitched, she said, “Don’t worry, you’ll be okay. The surgery was a success. You and your baby are both safe.”

It took Li Yuyao all her might to stay conscious until now. After she heard that her baby was safe, she lost all her strength and passed out.

Lu Jiao continued to stitch. She, too, was so tired that she might pass out. She originally thought that with Qi Lei’s help, the operation would be easier on her. The result was that it was more tiring than if she did it all alone.

Qi Lei was more scared than the mother who underwent the operation. What was that about?

The crying inside the room startled everyone. Li Yuyao’s family shouted, “The baby is here. She gave birth.”

“Oh my goodness, finally.”

“I wonder if it’s a son or a daughter?”

Inside the room, Lu Jiao ordered Qi Lei, who was helplessly carrying the baby, “Hurry up and bundle up the baby. Give him to the family outside.”

Qi Lei asked, “Can I get out then?”

He felt like he would pass out if he stayed here any longer.

Lu Jiao ordered harshly, “No, you need to come back in. In a bit, you must tell the family that you performed the surgery and tell them to keep this a secret. I think they wouldn’t want to tell anyone about this anyway.”

Qi Lei’s vision went dark and he almost collapsed.

Outside the door, the Li family saw that Li Yuyao birthed a son and was over the moon. They forgot to even ask about Li Yuyao.

Qi Lei didn’t know how to react and simply went back inside the room.

The two doctors finished their postoperative work. Worried that Li Yuyao’s wound may get infected, Lu Jiao rubbed the wound with her spiritual stream water. That way, her wound will heal fast and be less prone to infection.

Lu Jiao also gave Li Yuyao two units of antiinflammatory medicine before she left.

By now, both of them appeared pale. It was because of exhaustion for Lu Jiao and fear for Qi Lei.

Outside, Li Yuyao’s mother finally remembered to ask about her own daughter, “How’s Yuyao, is she okay?”

Lu Jiao looked over to Qi Lei, who had no choice but to answer, “She’s fine, but she cannot go home yet. We need to keep her under observation here for a few days.”

Li Yuyao’s mother wanted to argue but Qi Lei dropped his face, “If you want her dead, you can bring her back.”

That shut her up.

Lu Jiao walked on until she saw Xie Yunjin and the four little ones.

The four little ones saw the condition Lu Jiao was in and got scared.

“Mommy, you don’t look well. Are you sick?”

“Mommy, sit down. Drink some water.”

The Second Born went to fetch water and even grabbed some snacks.

The Third Born pulled Lu Jiao’s hand and led her to a chair.

The Fourth Born grabbed her other hand and said softly, “Mommy, sit and I’ll rub your hands.”

...

The four little ones’ actions made Zhao Lingfeng and Manager Li compliment them, “How did Lady Lu raise her children so well? How did they know to be so filial?”

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Xie Yunjin pushed his wheelchair around to follow Lu Jiao. When he saw how sick she looked, he asked, “What happened? Are you too exhausted?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “It’s from fear. I supported Dr. Qi in the operation and I’m scared half to death.”

Behind her, Qi Lei overhead and almost fainted. His master had it all backward. He was the one who was scared half to death.

However, he had to keep his mouth shut. Whatever words his Master spoke, that was the truth.
