Chapter 1327 -1324: Production
Chu Heng finished his reply and, seeing that she fell silent, turned his head to look at her.
Ye Muyu smiled upon his gaze, “Actually, the stars are like floating spheres, far away from us, so they look small, just like the sun and the moon.”
“Ah Heng, do you believe that people can reach the stars?”
Chu Heng’s brow furrowed slightly, he did not refute her words, but simply pinched her palm and honestly said, “If it’s as you say, it probably can’t be done right now.”
“Pfft.” Ye Muyu hadn’t expected him to not doubt her words at all, feeling both amused and comforted.
She nuzzled her face into his palm playfully, letting him cradle her, “Will you believe anything I say?”

“Yes, I believe,” Chu Heng leaned close to her lips and kissed her, their breaths heavy with a heat that brushed her face, making Muyu’s cheeks flush and her heartbeat slightly quicken.
Chu Heng had intended just a light touch, but seeing her reaction, the color deepened in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but pry open her teeth, kissing her a bit forcefully.
Ye Muyu closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling lightly and the tips of her ears turning a dark red, unable to resist reaching out to touch his Adam’s apple.
After the kiss, she took a moment to catch her breath.
“Let’s go back to the room and rest,” Ye Muyu whispered.
Chu Heng touched a strand of hair on her forehead with a smile, grunted affirmatively, and reached out to help her up.
However, after taking just a few steps, Muyu frowned slightly and instinctively reached out to grab his arm, “Ah Heng, I… I feel…”
Before she could finish, she felt a warmth below her, as a warm flow came out.
Her voice suddenly became tense, “I think… I think the baby is coming…”
Chaos ensued, with Chu Heng carrying Ye Muyu to the delivery room.
Hearing the noise, Madam Liu hurriedly ordered the maidservants to fetch the midwife and the doctor, while hot water began being heated in the small kitchen but for now fetched from the main kitchen.
As Chu Heng carried Ye Muyu into the delivery room, his hands were shaking.
Ye Muyu had already begun to experience contractions, and she, who feared pain above all, couldn’t help but moan.
“Ah Yu, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…” Chu Heng held her hand tightly, his trembling lips kissing the back of her hand.
Although Ye Muyu felt the pain, she wasn’t very scared. Seeing his strong reaction, she felt touched yet also distressed.
She tried to muster a smile, “I’m not afraid, you shouldn’t be either, Ah Heng.”
Madam Liu came in with the midwife.
Seeing Chu Heng there, she quickly shooed him away, “Ah Heng, you should leave, it’s uncertain how long Ah Yu will be in labor, but as it’s not her first delivery, it should be easier. You wait outside, your father and the children are here, don’t create a fuss here.”
Chu Heng clung to Ye Muyu’s hand and did not move, but kept verifying, “Is everything ready?”
“Midwife, check my lady,” he insisted.
The midwife lifted Ye Muyu’s skirts, “The lady’s water has broken, but the cervix is only dilated three fingers…”
Generally, the cervix should dilate first, then the water breaks for a smooth birth.
If the water breaks first and the cervix doesn’t dilate within an hour, the child won’t come out.
Hence, hearing the midwife’s words, Madam Liu’s hands started to shake.
Chu Heng understood the midwife’s implication as well, his lips pressed tight, his complexion turning extremely grim, “How can we ensure a smooth delivery?”
“We need to wait for the cervix to dilate. If it’s still not enough after half an hour, labor-inducing drugs will be necessary,” the midwife hadn’t expected this situation either and was somewhat flustered, stuttering as she spoke.
Ye Muyu also heard this and felt a wave of pain with each contraction beneath her.
