Chapter 1433 - 538: Daughter’s Birth
Zhou Guanyu smiled: "Well then, I’ll take your good wishes."
...
Zhou Guanyu only stayed with Qin Miao for just over two hours before heading to Zhejiang.
Even though Zhou Guanyu wasn’t in a rush, this was a hospital after all, not a place for reminiscing. It’s the thought that counts. Better not disturb the pregnant women.
After Zhou Guanyu left, Qimeng looked at Qin Miao: "You didn’t tell Zhou Guanyu that you’re going to Ferrari next season?"
After all, she’s his wife, and has helped him a lot in the racing business, so Qin Miao didn’t hide anything regarding these contracts.
But within the family, only his wife knows about it; Qin Miao hasn’t told anyone else.
"Not yet. I haven’t even told Leclerc. I’m thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to tell them.
Besides, the season has just begun, and Verstappen and I are neck-and-neck in the driver standings. If this news gets out, judging from my Australian Grand Prix performance, I would definitely get harshly criticized by the Mercedes fans. They wouldn’t be like now, where they’re all saying not winning the race this weekend wasn’t my fault, but the race committee’s stupidity."
"But keeping it under wraps like this isn’t a long-term solution; this news will eventually be made public."
Qin Miao shrugged: "My plan is to release this news during the summer break when the season’s trajectory will be clearer. By then, the point gap between Hamilton and me will have widened. So even if some people within the team aren’t happy with my decision and want to mess with me, half a season’s time, Hamilton likely won’t catch up to me on the leaderboard.
It’s not like they can make me retire from two races in the second half of the season, right?"
Hearing Qin Miao say this, Qimeng reached out and ruffled Qin Miao’s hair: "Looks like my Qin Miao has grown up, has his own ideas now."
Normally, in this situation, if Qimeng dared to do such a thing to Qin Miao, she’d definitely be pinned down on the sofa or bed the next second.
But now, there’s a little one in her belly, so Qin Miao could only let her ruffle his hair.
Didn’t dare to move, absolutely didn’t dare to move.
If Qin Miao dared to move, his mom would definitely break his leg.

5:21 AM.
At this moment, Qin Miao was sitting obediently on the seat outside the delivery room.
But his constantly trembling right leg showed Qin Miao’s current inner anxiety and restlessness.
Actually, before his mom arrived, Qin Miao was instinctively pacing back and forth in the corridor.
Rather than waiting outside anxiously, Qin Miao wanted to go into the delivery room to accompany Qimeng during childbirth, and even the doctor suggested that Qin Miao go in.
But Qimeng didn’t agree.
So Qin Miao was left outside.
And as soon as his mom and his in-laws arrived at the hospital after receiving the call, the originally pacing Qin Miao was pinned to the bench.
World champion or not, a single look from his mom at home, and he had to sit obediently without causing any trouble.
To be honest, the term "days feel like years" wasn’t something Qin Miao clearly understood before.
But now Qin Miao had a profound understanding of this phrase.
At this moment, Qin Miao and the three elders had waited outside for more than seven hours. From ten o’clock at night until now, each hour was a torture and ordeal for the four’s hearts.
Finally, no one knew how much longer it was, long enough that Qin Miao felt he could run a complete Grand Prix weekend at Spa, when the operating room light went off.
The four sitting on the bench simultaneously jerked their heads up.
"Is Mr. Qin Miao here?" A nurse holding a crying infant asked as she came out.
"I, I, I’m here." Qin Miao hurriedly stood up.
The nurse glanced at Qin Miao.
Confirming it was Qin Miao, the nurse handed over the baby in her arms for Qin Miao to see: "Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe, and the baby is an even 7 pounds."
Just as Qin Miao was about to reach out and hold her, the nurse turned and showed the baby to his in-laws and Qin Miao’s mom.
After making sure all four had seen the baby, the nurse placed the baby back into her arms and told Qin Miao, "You can go in and see your wife now."
Qin Miao nodded eagerly and entered the delivery room.
The nurse then put Qin Miao’s daughter in a transparent incubator next to Qimeng’s bed.
After making sure the baby was fine, Qin Miao looked towards his wife.
At this moment, Qimeng’s face was full of sweat, and upon seeing Qin Miao come in, she managed a smile.
Just as Qin Miao thought this girl was going to say something touching or emotional, she said: "Finally got this load off, and now I don’t have to be tormented by pregnancy hormones. After I’m done with postpartum recovery, I’m going to play games every night! You better not stop me! If you do, I’ll go off on you! Nine months! Do you know what I’ve been through these past nine months!"
Qin Miao initially felt a bit sorry for Qimeng, but hearing her carefree words, Qin Miao couldn’t help but laugh.
Then he reached out and pushed the damp bangs sticking to his wife’s forehead aside: "Alright, alright, alright, I’ll join you then."
"By the way, I’ve asked you for so long, you never told me the child’s name. What’s it going to be?" Qimeng suddenly asked.
Qin Miao softly said the name he’d kept in his heart for a long time: "Qin Muqiu."
"Hmm... this name is understandable, but why does it sound like the name of a leading lady in a bossy CEO novel?"
"Don’t like it?"
"Not really, just feels kind of weird, but since it’s not our name, let’s go with it."
As if hearing her carefree parents casually deciding the name that would accompany her for life, the baby girl lying in the incubator suddenly let out a loud cry.
