I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 376 So... what are your plans? Let me hear your thoughts first...

"Huh?! Honey... what... what are you saying..."

Upon hearing this, Yin Mengran's mouth gaped open in surprise. She remained stunned for several seconds before she finally reacted...

Looking at Zhou Heng, she realized he didn't seem to be joking; he seemed quite serious...

Zhou Heng shook his head, sighed, and continued:

"Since we started university, we've been studying at a high intensity, with almost no time to rest. It's so tiring, and we didn't even realize you were having health problems. Thinking back to high school, we were so happy. We went to school together, studied together, went home together, ate and slept together. There wasn't so much pressure back then, and you certainly didn't feel stressed or anxious..."

Zhou Heng has been thinking about this question ever since he left the hospital today. He wonders if he has lost his way...

I've always been thinking that I should work hard so that I can take over Junheng someday, given my powerful background, strength, and resources.

Few can resist the allure of money and power, and Zhou Heng was no exception; he desperately wanted to take over Junheng...

Although he treated Yin Mengran very well, he also realized he hadn't taken care of her feelings. She seemed so strong on the surface, but was actually so vulnerable inside. He felt he was a very incompetent husband...

So he carefully considered what he really wanted, and finally realized that all his hard work was to give Yin Mengran the best life...

He knew Yin Mengran didn't want these things, so wouldn't it be better for them to forgo them and live a simpler life?

After Zhou Heng finished speaking, Yin Mengran didn't respond but fell silent. The atmosphere became very quiet, and neither of them spoke for a long time...

Zhou Heng didn't know what was wrong with Yin Mengran. He lowered his head and silently wiped her feet. After a while, Yin Mengran finally spoke:

"husband..."

"what?"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Heng immediately looked up at Yin Mengran, awaiting her reply.

"You know what? Before you came back today, Mom called me. She told me... to get ready to go to Huzhou..."

"Ah...this..."

Zhou Heng didn't expect his mother to call Yin Mengran over so soon. Was it because he had started his internship at Junheng?

"I agreed, and I want to go as soon as possible..."

"why?"

Zhou Heng asked, somewhat puzzled, "If Yin Mengran goes to Huzhou, then they will be separated..."

Although Dongzhu and Huzhou aren't far apart, it's impossible for them to see each other every day...

They've always been together every day, how could they possibly get used to being separated all of a sudden...?

Yin Mengran took Zhou Heng's hand, pulled him to sit down beside her, and then held his hand tightly...

"Because I want to catch up with you as soon as possible... I was anxious because before, I always felt like I wasn't good enough for you, but now... the doctor said my condition is getting better and better, and I'm pregnant now, so you don't need to worry..."

"If you're really worried, then I'll tell you a solution: let me go to Mom's, work hard, strive to be as good as you, and then I won't be anxious anymore. Your idea is for you to step down so we can both live a passable life, so why can't I step up and let us both live a perfect life...?"

Yin Mengran spoke softly and calmly in Zhou Heng's ear, which calmed him down considerably...

"Do you... really think that way?" Zhou Heng looked at Yin Mengran and asked in a low voice.

Yin Mengran smiled and nodded, replying, "Of course, it couldn't be more true, honey. You're so good, so gentle, so thoughtful. You're just being anxious, there's no need for that at all."

"I see... But... but if you go to Huzhou, won't we be separated? You're pregnant now... who will take care of you?"

Zhou Heng was still worried. After all, Yin Mengran's situation was quite special now; she was pregnant. Zhou Heng didn't want to leave her alone and always wanted to stay by her side to take care of her...

"Oh, honey, I'm only newly pregnant. I'm just like any other person; I don't need any special care. Besides, even if we're apart, it'll only be for a short time. We can see each other whenever we have time..."

"this..."

Even though Yin Mengran had already said that, Zhou Heng was still somewhat unwilling. He had only just found out that Yin Mengran was pregnant, how could he possibly let her be alone...

But now, Yin Mengran's face was full of anticipation, and her eyes held a faint glimmer of light.

Yin Mengran was serious, and Zhou Heng knew that if he stopped her now, it would only increase her anxiety and make her very sad...

"Well... okay, then... I'll call my mom and tell her you're pregnant, and ask her to take care of you."

Zhou Heng has now compromised and can only tell his mother to take good care of Yin Mengran, otherwise he will never feel at ease.

"You can tell Mom, but I really don't need to be taken care of, really."

Yin Mengran nodded. She felt that she did need to inform others about the pregnancy, but she didn't need anyone to take care of her. She felt that she was perfectly fine.

Zhou Heng stood up, took out his phone, and prepared to call his mother...

The phone rang several times before it was finally answered...

"[Hello? Son, what's up? Why are you calling all of a sudden? Did Yin Mengran tell you about coming to Huzhou?]"

Liu Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone, asking a question.

"Um, Mom... there's something I want to tell you."

Zhou Heng felt his heart pounding; this was really difficult to bring up...

"【Ah, what's wrong? You must be reluctant to see Yin Mengran come to Huzhou, right? Oh, it's alright, you'll still have plenty of opportunities to meet.】"

"No, Mom, listen to me, we... we got our marriage certificate yesterday..."

"【Then what?】"

"Then...today, I went to the hospital for a checkup, and Ranran...she's...pregnant..."

......

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze...

Zhou Heng didn't speak again, and Liu Wei also remained silent for a long time...

"Mom... say something..."

After a while, Zhou Heng managed to hold on and spoke first.

Yin Mengran sat there, touching her stomach, head down, looking somewhat lost.

"Ah, let me calm down... So... what are your plans? Let me hear your thoughts first..."
