Anyone could tell there was something off with Qin Yi's condition.

Xia Yanbing told Qin Wan'er to call the doctor.

"It's nothing serious, just prenatal anxiety," the doctor said after examining him.

Everyone was shocked.

"Men can actually get this kind of illness?" Lin Hongzhuang was dumbfounded, not expecting her guess to be right.

The doctor chuckled, "It's quite normal. Many expectant fathers are inexperienced and can display all sorts of odd behaviors due to nerves before the child is born."

"So, how do we treat this condition?" Qin Wan'er asked.

The doctor said, "Family members should comfort him, talk to him more often, try to ease his nerves. If that doesn't work, then medication might be needed."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the doctor left, the women took turns comforting Qin Yi.

"I'm not nervous. The doctor talks nonsense, and you believe it? What could make me nervous?"

Qin Wan'er worriedly said, "Brother, your palms are sweating."

"Really? Maybe it's just too hot."

Lin Hongzhuang frowned, "I mean, is it necessary? Bingbing was calm during childbirth, but you're this nervous, which is quite amusing."

"I freaking said I'm not nervous." Qin Yi suddenly shouted, shaking the room and scaring everyone.

This made everyone else nervous as well, worried about Qin Yi's state.

"Honey, come here," Xia Yanbing reached out her hand.

Qin Yi hurriedly walked over, grasping Xia Yanbing's hand, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Come here, honey, lie down here."

The VIP room's bed was quite large, and Xia Yanbing moved over to make room for Qin Yi to lie down.

"No, I can't sleep. I need to protect you and the baby," Qin Yi said in a daze.

Xia Yanbing gently stroked his face, "Honey, lie beside me like this, you can better protect me and the baby."

"Right, I need to protect you and the baby." Qin Yi slowly lay down.

But as soon as he lay down, Qin Yi suddenly sat up, "No, I need to set up a Great Array. Only like this can I better protect you and the baby."

Xia Yanbing quickly grabbed Qin Yi's sealing hand, "Honey, be good, listen, lie down. The baby and I are here with you."

What a joke? Setting up a Great Array here, when it's time to give birth, she won't be able to get out, and the doctor won't be able to come in, that would be terrible.

"Honey, do you think our baby will resemble you more, or me?"

"Of course, like me. I'm so handsome. No wait, if it's a girl, she should look like you, beautiful."

"So, do you think the baby will become more scholarly or martial in the future?"

"That should be up to them, we can't stifle a child's choices."

"... ..."

"... ..."

Xia Yanbing chatted with Qin Yi, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Honey, I'm tired, can you hold me and rest for a bit?"

"Sure."

As it turned out, Xia Yanbing really fell asleep, while Qin Yi's eyes were wide open, filled with vigilance.

Lin Hongzhuang curiously leaned forward for a look.

In an instant, Qin Yi's brow furrowed into a sharp line, his face full of hostility, "What do you want?"

Lin Hongzhuang was startled, waving her hands quickly, "Nothing, nothing, don't get excited."

"Step back," Qin Yi said coldly.

Lin Hongzhuang quickly backed away a few steps.

Everyone was bewildered. What happened to Qin Yi?

"I'll go ask the doctor," Liu Yiren quietly left the room.

Shortly after, Liu Yiren returned.

"What did the doctor say?"

Liu Yiren said, "The doctor said it's the expectant father's nervousness, which brings out the most instinctive protection for his wife and child."

"But why is he guarding against us?" Lin Hongzhuang said displeased, "As if we are going to harm Bingbing?"

"I guess it's because we are Qi Refiners, and our aura makes Qin Yi perceive danger, thus the reaction," Yun Mengyao hesitated a moment before saying.

Lin Hongzhuang had a strange expression, "This is the first time I've seen Qin Yi like this, nervous to the point of being delusional."

Qin Wan'er whispered, "I think it might be because of losing the first baby?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Yiren asked.

"Sister-in-law was previously persecuted by the Diao Family, and had a miscarriage with the first child. Though my brother doesn't say it, I know he feels deeply guilty. Perhaps that's why he's now so anxious about sister-in-law and the baby in her womb, being extra wary of the outside world."

Everyone fell silent, admitting that Qin Wan'er's words made sense.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, Qin Yi sat up abruptly, staring outside the hospital room.

Yun Mengyao and the others instinctively looked toward the door.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Azure Dragon walked in.

Qin Yi looked at Azure Dragon with eyes full of vigilance and defensiveness.

Azure Dragon immediately sensed Qin Yi's hostility toward him, and couldn't help looking puzzled.

"What's with that look, kid?"

"Azure Dragon Grandpa, this is what's going on..." Qin Wan'er explained Qin Yi's condition to Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon looked strange, "Men can actually get this kind of illness?"

No one could answer his question because they, too, had never encountered such a situation before.

"Kid, do you still recognize me?" Azure Dragon smiled slightly, somewhat amused.

Qin Yi stirred the winds and clouds outside, decisively and with a fierce reputation, infiltrating the Five Great Families without a shred of nerves. Yet now he's so nervous over his wife giving birth, he's become delusional.

The vigilance in Qin Yi's eyes did not diminish, and he said coldly, "What are you here for?"

"Good. At least you still recognize me," Azure Dragon teased, "Kid, don't be so tense, come out with me, I have something to discuss with you."

"I'm not going."

Azure Dragon: "..."

"With me here, no one can hurt your wife and child. Really, come out, I have something important to discuss with you."

"I'm not going."

Azure Dragon: "..."

"Honey, Azure Dragon senior looking for you must be important, you should go. With Wan'er and the others here with me, and you and Azure Dragon senior around, no one can harm me," Xia Yanbing persuaded; Qin Yi's sudden motion earlier had startled her awake. She hoped Qin Yi and Azure Dragon talking would help him relax.

"I'm not going," Qin Yi repeated like a broken record.

"Honey, listen, go quickly, or I'll be mad."

"Sweetheart, don't be angry. I can't go, I have to stay here to protect you and the baby."

"Brother, you're making noise, sister-in-law can't rest, just go. I'm here with sister-in-law, don't you trust me?" Qin Wan'er stepped up to persuade him.

Qin Yi lowered his head to think, looking cautiously at Lin Hongzhuang and the others, "I'm warning you, don't get close to Xiaobing."

The women were not lightly angered, their faces blue.

They had taken care of Xia Yanbing for so long, and yet were told not to get close, it was too much.

Lin Hongzhuang kept a calm face, pointing at Qin Yi, and clenched her fists, "Alright, considering you're the patient, I won't argue with you."

"Take good care of your sister-in-law," Qin Yi instructed.

Qin Wan'er nodded.

"Remember to shout if there's anything, I can hear you."

Qin Wan'er chuckled and nodded.

"Don't let anyone else near."

Qin Wan'er: "..."

"Brother, I've got it, now go quickly."

If Qin Yi didn't leave soon, she might develop anxiety herself.
