Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1197: Jinx

To handle the mess caused by Chiang Qing, Cheng Su was busy for several days. Once the issue was cleared up, she invited a few reporters from the newspaper to Joy Soon Loy for a meal.

Taking advantage of this incident, to check for any oversights in the jam factory, Cheng Su, along with Xiao Pinshan, went through everything thoroughly before considering the matter settled.

After these few days, coupled with the hot weather, Cheng Su ended up looking thinner. Fortunately, the university was already on vacation, otherwise, she’d be even busier.

It was already July. Cheng Su dragged her tired body back to the courtyard, where Hualing was waddling around with her big belly. Upon seeing her, Hualing waved.

Cheng Su stopped and noticed that Hualing’s baby had dropped quite a bit. She asked, "Are you due any day now? You should be resting at home instead of wandering around. If you go into labor, you might not be able to move."

Hualing rolled her eyes at her. "You and your jinxed mouth!"

Cheng Su snorted lightly.

"Before giving birth, moving around helps to have a smoother delivery," Hualing remarked.

Cheng Su glanced at her large belly again and asked, "Are you scared?"

"What’s there to be scared of? Isn’t this what all women go through?" Hualing slightly raised her chin, but a flicker of fear passed through her eyes.

Cheng Su noticed it and secretly chuckled. This person never admits defeat. Not saying much, she responded, "Then walk a few more laps. I’m going upstairs; I’m exhausted."

"All right," Hualing replied as she started to walk again.

Cheng Su went upstairs, slumped onto the couch unwilling to move. Her lower abdomen ached slightly with a dull discomfort. She furrowed her brow and touched it.

Could it be that this month is still a no-show?

Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Su’s mood worsened, and she drowsily fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, it seemed like someone was calling her name loudly. Cheng Su opened her eyes, but there was no one in the room.

"Cheng Su!"

Bam bam bam!

The voice was almost shouting; it was Hualing.

Cheng Su jumped up in a jolt and went to open the door just as Hualing, ready to continue pounding, found the door suddenly open and her hand missed.

"What’s going on?" Cheng Su asked, seeing her face pale and her forehead covered in sweat.

"You jinxed it, you really jinxed it! My stomach hurts; I’m afraid I’m going into labor." Hualing clutched her belly and said, "Help me."

About to give birth again!

Cheng Su snapped into action and quickly helped her into the room, pacing back and forth, wondering what to do.

Thankfully, with Guiying’s previous experience, Cheng Su asked, "How does your stomach hurt? Is it bad? Has your water broken?" Then she inquired, "Have you packed everything for the hospital?"

"Not yet." Hualing gasped in pain, saying, "You must quickly help get Chen Shouwang back!"

Oh, right!

Cheng Su hurried back home, called the military, and asked someone to inform Chen Shouwang.

After hanging up, she went next door.

"Help me wash my hair," Hualing exhaled, instructing.

Cheng Su was dumbfounded. What? Wash hair?

Hualing glared at her. "During the confinement period, it’s a month long. If I don’t wash my hair, how can I endure it? Hurry up!"

Cheng Su almost wanted to cry. How can I wash it? She asked, "You, you’re in so much pain, can you still wash your hair?"

Hualing gritted her teeth, "I can still hold on, hurry up, less chatter!"

Cheng Su had no choice but to bring a basin of hot water and let Hualing lie halfway down while she acted as the hair wash girl.

Chen Shouwang came running back, panting heavily. Seeing the scene, he dumbly asked, "Isn’t she supposed to be giving birth?"

"Grab the prepared things, call a car, and take me to the hospital." Hualing instructed while mimicking the breathing exercises taught by the hospital midwives.

Watching her composed demeanor, Cheng Su finally calmed down. After all, she’s becoming a mom and is getting stronger!
