Chapter 409 Giving Birth 2
Deep down, she still cared. She wanted to know where she came from and who she was.

But her mother still couldn't give her an answer.

She was discouraged again and simply closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to fall into a deep sleep, she heard a familiar voice again: "A Ning, A Ning, A Ning."

Anxious, yet gentle, and mixed with heartache.

Qin Xiaoning sighed first, then opened her eyes with difficulty: "How did you get in? Men are not allowed to enter the delivery room."

Glancing into his scarlet eyes, he couldn't say anything too reproachful.

"I'm fine." She took a deep breath and said to him, "It's like this when a woman gives birth. You have to be strong."

Lu Ji wiped away a tear.

The man at this moment looked even more fragile and helpless than her, the woman who was giving birth.

"Get out now," she urged him to go.

The man held her hand and said in a choked voice: "A Ning, can you not hold on any longer?"

A little bit.

Although she had thought about the hardships of giving birth, this difficulty was beyond her expectations.

Lu Ji cried in her ear and said, "A Ning, if you can't hold on, then don't give birth. I'll ask the imperial physician to find a way. We just don't want this child and won't have any more in the future."

Qin Xiaoning was so angry that she laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense." She urged him again, with a hint of teasing in her weak tone: "Get out, you're affecting my performance here."

The midwife couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so she came over and advised Lu Ji: "My Lord, you should get out. A man can't help a woman giving birth."

The man couldn't resist in the end. He looked back every few steps and wiped his tears in a cowardly manner, but he finally went out.

After being disturbed by him, Qin Xiaoning no longer felt sleepy. Since she didn't want to sleep anymore, she continued to work hard.

Although she is not strong, she is persistent.

After a while of torture, I finally heard the midwife's surprised voice: "Oh, I see the beginning, Princess, please push harder, it's coming out."

This annoying little brat was finally coming out. She was delighted and pushed harder, and finally heard the sweet cry of the baby.

Give birth to one.

There was a small cheer in the delivery room.

"It's a boy."

"The young master has come out."

After giving birth to one child, Qin Xiaoning's morale was boosted. She drank a few sips of ginseng soup and started working hard again. This time, it was not too painful and the other one was born smoothly.

As the imperial physician asserted, both are boys.

The crying was so loud that it echoed throughout the house.

Qin Xiaoning finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to take a look at the two brats who had tortured her the whole day, but she really had no strength left. She tilted her head and closed her eyes heavily.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

As soon as Qin Xiaoning opened her eyes, she saw Lu Ji staring at her without blinking. After a night's rest, Qin Xiaoning had recovered her strength. She stretched out her hand to him first, and Lu Ji quickly grabbed her little hand and held it tightly against his face.

The two of them didn't say anything, just looked at each other, with tenderness in each other's eyes.

After a long while, she asked, "Where are the children? I want to see them."

Lu Ji opened his mouth, but his voice was so hoarse that it almost broke. He replied, "I'm coaxing you, just take a good rest."

His voice was completely hoarse, and the sound was like a broken gong, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Xiaoning stretched out her other hand and held his face with both hands: "I'm fine. Although I've been through some hardship, it's always like this when a woman gives birth."

Her tone was gentle, and she tried her best to comfort him.

But when she said that, he couldn't help crying again.

He really felt sorry for her, and was also still traumatized by the tragic childbirth she had experienced yesterday. But as a man he cared about his reputation, so he simply turned his head away, and with his back to her he quickly wiped away her tears with his sleeves. But after wiping away a lot, he couldn't help crying again.

He looked sad and aggrieved, his expression was hard to describe.

Qin Xiaoning simply shut her mouth until she saw that he had calmed down. Then she spoke again with a hint of teasing in her tone.

"You always say that I'm delicate, but right now, I see that you're becoming more and more fragile, and you're actually not as strong as me."

I thought the man would get furious after being teased by her, but unexpectedly he just twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a bitter smile when he heard it.

Qin Xiaoning looked at him, somewhat confused and puzzled.

It was just giving birth, isn't it the same for all women? Although it was hard and painful, now that she had passed that stage, she didn't feel anything anymore. She even felt the joy of being a mother. After all, she had sons, two at that. For her, who came from a humble background, her future would be more stable.

But the man looked like he couldn't let it go.

He calmed down, turned around, grabbed her hand again, and pressed it tightly against his face. After another silence, he said to her, "A Ning, I feel really guilty for letting you suffer so much."

Qin Xiaoning took a moment to react, then smiled: "It's always like this when women give birth."

She said it calmly, and comforted him, "Now that we have a child, things will be better in the future. You are already a father, why are you being so pretentious?"

Lu Ji smiled bitterly again. He lowered his eyes and kissed her hand, saying, "I saw how hard you worked to give birth to my child yesterday. You refused to cry out even though it was so painful. I felt really bad. I thought of many things in the past. I didn't have the ability to marry you at that time, so you had to wander around with your child. You must have suffered a lot in Qianzhou. Ah Ning, it's all my fault. I made you suffer a lot."

The usually cold and resolute man was now extremely fragile and his words were incoherent.

But Qin Xiaoning could see that he really felt sorry for her.

She was born with only her mother and had never felt the love from her father. She regretted this in her heart, but at this moment, seeing how much her husband loved her, she felt relieved.

What God made her lose, he repaid her double in another way.

Even if he was her biological father, he would not love her as much as Lu Ji.

She looked at him, leaned over and kissed his lips, stopping his inexplicable words of self-blame. Perhaps he was frightened by her hard work in giving birth to a child. At this moment, his lips were chapped, so she used the tip of her tongue to moisten them.

The man was like a little child, half tilting his head back and obediently letting her comfort him.

Finally, his emotions finally stabilized under her comfort.

Qin Xiaoning then brought up what she wanted most at the moment: "I want to see the child."

She urged Lu Ji: "Go and bring the children here."
