"Ahh!"
At twelve midnight, American time, a heart-wrenching scream came from the maternity and child care hospital.
"Miss Qiao, push! Push hard!"
The labor had been going on for thirteen hours. Qiao Chuqian laid on the hospital bed, strands of sweat-soaked hair stuck closely to her cheeks. Tears welled up in her eyes, she was so weak that even her breaths were intermittent.
She really didn't have any strength left.
"Miss Qiao, push! Take a deep breath and push hard! The little one can't wait anymore!" The obstetrician's eyes were red with urgency. If it was delayed any further, there might be a danger to both mother and child.
Qiao Chuqian clenched her eyes shut, gripped the sheets beside her tightly, held her breath, and suddenly exerted all her strength ——
"Ahh!"
Baby, you must live!
......
Seven years later, in the city of Shanbei, at the airport ——
A handsome and refined seven-year-old boy stood in the middle of the airport lobby, incessantly waving to a woman pushing luggage behind him. Then, unable to contain his impatience, he simply ran over, grabbed the suitcase from the woman's hand like a little adult, and pushed it forward with all his strength.
"Mommy! Hurry up! Didn't we agree to go to the amusement park with Uncle Lu Qi?" The words 'amusement park' brightened the little fellow's eyes.
Qiao Chuqian was dressed in a rosy professional suit, overlaid with a pair of Capri jeans and beige high heels, highlighting her long, beautiful legs.
She took off her sunglasses, pulled the young boy into her arms, and spoke softly, "Jingyan! We've been on the plane for a long time, mommy is a bit tired. Can we postpone going to the amusement park? When Uncle Lu Qi arrives, we can have dinner together with him, how's that?"
"Mom, meow!" The boy complained, "You don't keep your promises!"
Qiao Chu lightly chuckled without saying anything, she flicked his shoulder, and the two of them walked out of the airport together. A sapphire blue BMW SUV timely stopped in front of the mother and son.
The car door opened, and a man dressed in casual business attire, with his upright long legs got out of the car. His short black hair complemented his remarkably handsome face.
"Chu!" He called her.
"Qi." Qiao Chu smiled.
Joy immediately spread across Qiao Jingyan's little face, he ran over "Lu Qi Shu Li!"
The man bent down, picked up the chubby little body, held it high, "Has Jingyan grown taller?"
"How can I protect mommy if I don't grow taller!" The little guy furrowed his brow, puffed his cheeks, and seriously declared.
Qiao Chu laughed at his words. She shrugged her shoulders and quickly walked over to Lu Qi.
"Have you been doing well recently?" Lu Qi looked at her.
Qiao Chu tried to appear relaxed and nodded, "Very good! You should relax! Shall we eat together?"
"Great!" The man stared at her with eyes filled with affection, then he reached past her to grab the luggage. Only little Jingyan, still in his arms, expressed his unhappiness, muttering, "You promised to go to the amusement park with me!"
Lu Qi flicked his forehead, "Didn't Uncle tell you? You have to listen to Mommy!"
The little fire in Jingyan's eyes was slowly extinguished.
"Um......" He finally responded in a low voice.
