Chapter 0531

Under every large screen throughout the entire manor, people were cheering. The scene was a veritable tsunami of sound. Afraid the noise would disturb Luo Yao, Lin Ran gently covered her ears. Not just at the manor, but at wedding branch venues across the country, loud cheers erupted. Netizens in front of their screens wore doting smiles. The couple they "shipped" had finally come to fruition.

Two very strange phenomena also occurred.

The first was that the road from the manor to the hospital was incredibly clear. Cars voluntarily pulled over to the side, only resuming normal traffic after Lin Ran's car had passed.

The second was even more impressive.

All rooftops across the country were put under control; no one could go up.

The Hospital.

Inside the delivery room, his hand gripped Luo Yao's hand, hoping to give her more strength.

As time passed, Lin Ran became incredibly nervous.

"Yao Yao, if you can't hold on, just bite me."

Despite Lin Ran's extreme tension, Luo Yao acted as if nothing was happening. Aside from the occasional frown, she showed no expression of distress.

She could even chat with Lin Ran with a smile.

"Ah Ran, don't worry. This little bit of pain is nothing to me."

From childhood to adulthood, Luo Yao had endured far greater suffering.

Besides the two of them, there was one other person in the delivery room: the strongest woman of the Yi family, Yi Buhuo.

"President Luo, you are truly amazing. You didn't make a sound the whole time."

With Luo Yao's final rhythmic push, the loud cry of an infant filled the room.

To be honest, Lin Ran never thought he had a deep love for this child.

But the moment he heard the baby cry, he actually felt like crying.

"Yao Yao, you've worked hard."

Yi Buhuo said happily, "President Luo, Young Master Lin, it's a little boy."

The couple looked at each other and smiled; whether it was a boy or a girl never mattered to them.

Lin Ran gently wiped the sweat from Luo Yao's forehead, and only then did the two look at the child.

The baby had stopped crying. His partially opened eyes were dark, filled with confusion and curiosity about this world.

At this moment, the group of people in the hospital corridor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news, their faces lighting up with joy.

Wu Zhishang wore a doting smile. "I didn't expect this. We just finished the wedding, and soon we'll be attending the one-month celebration. Brother Lin gets to collect two rounds of gift money in such a short time. I'm envious."

Zhang Xinyan looked puzzled. "You didn't give any gift money anyway."

Wu Zhishang scratched his head awkwardly. "Didn't Brother Lin say he wouldn't accept anything? He even said there's a nationwide ban on gifts for him."

Shen Jingbing joined in the teasing, "If he accepts gifts, he'll only accept little babies."

That one sentence pushed the already joyful atmosphere to a climax.

Others joined the discussion; these people had all rushed over from the wedding venue.

They included, but were not limited to, Wu Zhishang, Zhang Laifu, Shen Jingbing, Chen Qingtian, Lu Xiangshi, Zhang Xinyan, Xiao Tong, Qi Chengwei, Abu, Wang Bao, Fang Buxia, Xiao Xiaole, Wei Xinsheng, Wang Dahua, Wang Anjian, Chen Xiao, Chen Nianshi, Chen Nianlun, Chen Zhima, Su Jianguo, Qu Teniang, Ye Lingling, Zhang Xiaolong, Yi Siyin, Yi Buhao, Pei Qianqian, Xu Kai, Liu Meng, Wang Fang...

A while later, Luo Yao came out. She wasn't wheeled out; instead, Lin Ran supported her as she walked out directly, with Yi Buhuo pushing the stroller behind them.

Everyone wanted to step forward to offer care and congratulations.

However, a single freezing-cold glare from Luo Yao scared everyone into freezing in place.

Lin Ran waved his hand. "Thank you all for your concern. If there's nothing else, please go back. It's enough for me to accompany Yao Yao alone."

Only after Lin Ran helped Luo Yao back to the ward did the others breathe a sigh of relief.

Someone broke the silence, looking confused. "Why was President Luo's look so terrifying just now?"

This question plunged many into thought.

Was President Luo angry because the baby was born?

Did she dislike boys?

However, there were a few on the scene who understood Luo Yao's mindset, such as Liu Meng.

She stepped forward. "Everyone should head back. Don't overthink it. There are too many women here; it would be strange if President Luo wasn't angry."

The others suddenly realized the truth. So that was the reason.

Everyone left one after another, leaving only Liu Meng standing there motionless.

She knew that Luo Yao was angry not just for that reason, but also for another very important one: the child was born.

Would Young Master Lin still love President Luo wholeheartedly like before?

However, she didn't say this out loud.

"President Liu, aren't you going back?"

Wang Fang asked, puzzled, seeing that everyone had left but Liu Meng remained.

Liu Meng looked at Wang Fang, then recalled the image of Lin Ran and Luo Yao walking away together, feeling incredibly envious.

Perhaps Wang Fang was right; she should take that step.

"Sister Wang, do you remember asking me who the person I like is?"

Wang Fang's eyes immediately lit up. "I remember, I remember. Who is it?"

Liu Meng looked at Wang Fang and suddenly pinned her against the wall.

"Woman, you have successfully aroused my desire to commit a crime."

Wang Fang stared blankly at Liu Meng, her mind going blank.

Liu Meng: "Baby, are you surprised?"

Wang Fang nodded, her cheeks blushing red. "More like a scare."

...

Time flew by.

In the northern part of a foreign country, Lin Ran and Luo Yao were lying inside a transparent structure, admiring the beauty where the aurora met the snow-capped mountains.

Dozens of bodyguards had the place tightly secured.

These past few years, they had been quite lucky, traveling the world with the young couple.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Lin Ran glanced at it and smiled. "It's that brat, Lin Luo."

Luo Yao leaned into Lin Ran's embrace, rubbing against him comfortably.

"Why won't that kid grow up already?"

Lin Ran smiled and tapped to answer. A cool-looking little boy appeared on the screen.

Lin Luo was very handsome; one could tell from a young age he would be a heartthrob. However, his childish voice betrayed his age, though his words were amusing.

"I didn't want to video call you, but my little sister kept clamoring to find you."

Another even younger, milk-scented little bundle squeezed into the screen. "Daddy, Mommy, when are you coming back? Uncle Fu won't let me play with Little Black. I hate him. Little Black can only play with me."

Lin Ran was somewhat speechless. In recent years, he had discovered a very serious problem: everyone in his family seemed to have something wrong with them.

"Got it. Your mom and I still want to watch the aurora, so we're ignoring you for now."

Saying this, Lin Ran was about to hang up, but Lin Luo hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait! When are you coming home? You're adults, yet you're never home. What's up with that? Don't you understand the saying 'When parents travel a thousand miles, the children worry'?"

Lin Ran was utterly speechless; it felt a bit ridiculous.

"Your mother said you need to grow up quickly and inherit the family business as soon as possible. Then your mom and I can mooch... I mean, have no more worries."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Luo sighed.

"Sigh! Looking forward to retirement at such a young age and trying to dump such a huge business onto a child. You two are really unbelievable."

Luo Yao's eyes turned cold. "Lin Luo, if you don't want to die, hurry up and grow up."

Lin Luo looked miserable.

"Fine. I won't talk about it anymore. Uncle Fu is looking for me."

The call ended, and the young couple looked at each other and smiled.

"Ah Ran, was that foreign woman from earlier today pretty?"

"Huh? What woman? I didn't see anyone."

Luo Yao smiled, her eyes brimming with mirth. "If Ran dares to look at another woman, I will slaughter her, turn her into a specimen, and line her up in the bedroom right next to Liu Ruxue so they can watch together."

Lin Ran reached out and gently caressed Luo Yao's cheek.

"That sounds absolutely wonderful."

If the world is vast, I want to walk every corner of it by your side, because you are my world, too. — Lin Ran.
