I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 161: Chapter 161 The Baby Boy is Named Shi Sailuo

Yuan Xi chuckled softly when she heard Gu Hanchen’s conceited words.

Gu Hanchen demanded overtime in the middle of the night and even had his secretary cook dumplings for him when he was drunk at one to two in the morning.

He would yell and scold loudly over small mistakes at work, and working overtime seemed endless. It was impossible to take any leave.

Any female colleague in the secretariat who fancied Gu Hanchen had to be smooth-brained enough to ice skate.

Yuan Xi remembered the silly girl on stage who liked Gu Hanchen and stopped silently cursing in her heart.

Before the annual party had even ended, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan had set off back to City A.

After all, Yuan Xi was genuinely afraid of having her baby in Jiang City, even though she had arranged for a hospital and doctor there, it wasn’t as well prepared as City A.

With the due date counting down, Huo Shiyuan had entirely started working from home.

Three days before the 15th, Yuan Xi joined Huo Shiyuan for a trip back to the Huo family’s old house for a meal.

Grandma Shi patted Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, the surgeon for you is the same one who delivered Little Huohuo for your mother. It won’t be too painful. He’s very skilled.”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Mhm.”

Yuan Xi was already prepared for the pain of childbirth.

During dinner that evening, the table was mainly filled with Yuan Xi’s favorite dishes, and Grandma Shi kept enthusiastically serving her more.

Yuan Xi didn’t refuse and would serve Huo Shiyuan if she got full.

“Shiyan, Shiyan!”

Qian Yiren ran in from outside and said, “Shiyan, Shiyan, it’s not good, my aunt and uncle…”

With tears, Qian Yiren added, “To avoid divorcing my uncle, my aunt set the villa on fire.”

Shi Zhen and Huo Ting exchanged glances, quickly stood up, and asked, “What happened, Yiren, what happened?”

In tears, Qian Yiren explained, “My uncle had a lawyer file for divorce, my aunt didn’t want to divorce, so she went to my uncle’s house. She saw photos of that model everywhere, even wedding photos. She just collapsed, turned on the villa’s gas, and waited for my uncle to come back. Then she lit the fire, and the villa exploded…”

Feeling helpless, Qian Yiren grasped Huo Shiyan’s hand and continued, “Now cousin Yixian is still unconscious, my second uncle and aunt are out of town, Grandma Fu fainted from the news, Grandpa Fu has gone to the hospital, and Fu Qin is taking care of the elderly. Shiyan, please help me, I don’t know what to do.”

Without changing his expression, Huo Shiyuan withdrew his hand from Qian Yiren’s and unusually called out to Huo Ting, “Dad, go with Yiren to check on them. Yuan Xi is about to give birth these days, and I can’t leave her.”

Huo Ting and Shi Zhen were also deeply shocked, and they had grown up together with Yadong.

They were anxious about Yadong’s trouble.

“Did the incident happen in Junlan Garden?”

Crying, Qian Yiren replied, “Yes.”

Huo Ting followed Shi Zhen in the car.

After looking at Huo Shiyuan, Qian Yiren also followed them.

Grandma Shi sighed, “What kind of situation is this! It’s been troubling from thirty years ago till now…sigh.”

Granny Huo said, “A forced melon is not sweet. Turning out like this…”

Yuan Xi looked towards Huo Shiyuan and said, “If you’re really worried, go ahead, I’ll be fine.”

Huo Shiyuan took Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “With my parents here, they can help handle it. There’s nothing more important than you giving birth.”

Yuan Xi said, “I’ll go wash my hands.”

Yuan Xi was no fool. Qian Yiren could have sought help from the elders present, like Shi Zhen and Huo Ting, who were clearly closer to Yadong.

But she directly held Huo Shiyuan’s hand.

Huo Shiyuan stood up and accompanied Yuan Xi to the restroom to wash her hands.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xi was in a room at the Huo family’s old house playing with Xiao Shihuo.

Xiao Shihuo looked at Yuan Xi’s large belly and said, “Sister, when will the little baby inside come out?”

Yuan Xi replied, “It should be in these next few days.”

Xiao Shihuo tilted his head and asked, “Is it a little brother?”

Huo Shiyan, standing nearby, corrected Xiao Shihuo’s address, “You shouldn’t say ‘brother’. It’s your nephew or niece.”

Xiao Shihuo said, “Then I want a brother or sister.”

Huo Shiyan frowned, even if he didn’t have a particularly good relationship with his parents, he didn’t want any more siblings, “Maybe in the next life.”

Yuan Xi got a group call from Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui, and she answered.

“Sisters, did something happen to Fu Qin’s family?” Liang Suisui hastily asked, “I can’t get through to her phone. I saw on the news that there was a villa explosion, and the comments mentioned it was Fu Yadong’s house. Is Fu Yadong Fu Qin’s uncle?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Yes, there was an incident at Fu Qin’s family. Her grandparents were so shocked that they had to be hospitalized. Her phone probably got overloaded too.”

Chen Yuan said, “Right, aren’t you about to give birth? Let us know when you do, and we’ll rush over immediately.”

Yuan Xi said, “Hmm.”

Before Yuan Xi hung up the phone, she felt waves of pain in her belly. She had never felt this sensation before, but she understood it seemed like contractions.

“I think I’m about to give birth.”

Hearing this, Huo Shiyan, nearby, panicked, “What should we do?”

Seeing Huo Shiyan, who was usually strategic and calm, now frantic, Yuan Xi was relatively calm and instructed, “Get the driver to go to the hospital, call Doctor Zheng, and all the maternity stuff prepared by the housekeeper can be brought to the hospital.”

Huo Shiyan helped Yuan Xi up, wanting to carry her, but Yuan Xi was cautious about letting Huo Shiyan hold her.

She had gained a significant amount of weight during her pregnancy and didn’t want Huo Shiyan to carry her like a princess. “I can still walk.”

Thankfully, the Huo family’s old house had an elevator, which made it manageable to get downstairs.

Along the way, Yuan Xi, seeing Huo Shiyan usually cool and composed, now visibly tense, reassured him, “It’s okay. The team performing the surgery is the same one that did Little Huo’s delivery with my mother; everything will be safe and sound.”

Huo Shiyan gripped Yuan Xi’s hand tightly and said, “It must be safe and sound.”

Once they were at the hospital and it was confirmed they were contractions, Doctor Zheng’s team started preparing for the surgery.

Before the anesthesia, waves of pain hit, and Yuan Xi furrowed her brows.

Huo Shiyan, by her side, asked, “Is it very painful?”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, “Yes, it’s painful.”

Xiao Shihuo, standing by, said, “Where does it hurt, sister? Huohuo will blow on it; then it won’t hurt anymore.”

Yuan Xi patted Xiao Shihuo’s head and looked back to see Huo Shiyan’s eyes had turned red.

“I always said you were a crybaby when you were little, but you never admitted it…”

Huo Shiyan bent down and kissed Yuan Xi, “You must come out safely.”

Yuan Xi lightly laughed, “Yes. I will come out safely with the baby.”

Huo Shiyan, seeing the closed doors of the operating room, had his hands covered in sweat…

Knowing Doctor Zheng was one of the best obstetricians in the country and aware that this hospital was among the top in the nation, Huo Shiyan still couldn’t help but feel intensely nervous…

He had never experienced such a feeling of helpless panic.

Grandma Shi came over and patted Huo Shiyan’s hand, saying, “Think about what names to give the twins.”

Xiao Shihuo said, “Granny, I already chose good names for my sister’s babies! The boy will be called Shi Sailuo, and the girl Shi Baoli!”
