Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

Chapter 872 Zhou Chen becomes a father, and Ye Zhenzhen discovers his relationship with Zhu Zhe.

In the end, He Minhong's family did not choose to retaliate against Qi Mu; instead, they took He Minhong back to their hometown.

He Minhong, who suffers from depression, is truly unable to withstand stimulation. For He Minhong's safety, they had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, who knows what even more outrageous things Qi Mu might do if he stayed in Shanghai?

This time, He Minhong did not refuse to return to her hometown because she was really scared by Qi Mu's torment. She was afraid to see Qi Mu, afraid to hear Qi Mu's voice, and she really did not want to live a life of constant anxiety anymore.

He Minhong's departure did not cause any ripples, and he did not even tell Zhou Chen; everything was very calm.

To the neighbors on the 22nd floor, He Minhong had simply disappeared again. Who knew where she was hiding or what she was doing? As long as she didn't bother them, that was fine.

Three months later at the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, Zhou Chen stood nervously at the door of the operating room. Today was Lucy's due date, and Zhou Chen was finally going to be a father. How could he not be nervous?

Fortunately, after more than three hours of labor, with the first cry of a newborn, Lucy's baby, whom she had carried for ten months, was finally born. When the nurse happily came out to announce to Zhou Chen that both mother and child were safe, Zhou Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As Lucy was wheeled into the ward, Zhou Chen finally saw his first child. The little one was so small that his eyes were not yet open, and he was fast asleep next to his mother.

"Lucy, don't worry, our baby is healthy, a big, chubby boy weighing six pounds and eight ounces. Look how cute he is!"

Zhou Chen sat by the bed to comfort Lucy, but Lucy, lying in the hospital bed, began to reminisce about her mother, saying that one cannot understand the difficulty of being a mother without experiencing the pain of childbirth.

The thought of her mother dying on the operating table while giving birth to her sister immediately reminded Lucy of herself. Fortunately, Lucy got through this ordeal safely.

"Silly boy, don't overthink it. As long as you and your baby are safe, that's all that matters. As for your mother's situation, it was a complete accident. If you really want to blame someone, blame your father. He's the one who got your mother pregnant with a second child so he could have a son, which led to this accident."

Today is the day our son was born, a truly joyous occasion. Let's take a picture to announce to our friends that our baby is here and we're now parents!

Zhou Chen took out his phone and took a picture of the mother and child, then posted it on his WeChat Moments with the caption: "Our little sun has been born. Mother and child are safe and sound. Welcome to this world."

Shortly after the post was published on WeChat Moments, the neighbors on the 22nd floor sent their blessings, and Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui even took leave to rush to the hospital.

Having a son is a big deal for Zhou Chen, and of course Zhu Zhe and the others, as Zhou Chen's family, had to come and offer their blessings.

Soon they arrived with flower baskets, first congratulating Lucy and Zhou Chen. Then the two women surrounded Lucy, asking her all sorts of questions about childbirth, clearly showing their curiosity.

As for Zhou Chen's son's name, it seems a bit common. His son is named Zhou Jun, with the "Jun" meaning handsome.

After all, his mother Lucy is beautiful and his father Zhou Chen is handsome. They have such good genes, the little guy will definitely grow up to be a handsome young man.

Yu Chuhui stayed behind to chat with Lucy, while Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhe went home to cook porridge and chicken soup for Lucy, determined to nourish her body.

Unexpectedly, when they got home, Zhu Zhe told Zhou Chen some surprising news. Seeing Zhou Chen happily cooking rice porridge, Zhu Zhe hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhou Chen, I have some news to tell you. My period didn't come last month."

Zhu Zhe's words startled Zhou Chen for a moment, but he quickly realized what she meant. He hurriedly walked to Zhu Zhe's side and looked at her, as if he wanted her to say it again, to make sure he hadn't misheard.

Zhu Zhe didn't hide anything and immediately explained, "I specifically went to buy a pregnancy test and it showed two lines. I'm pregnant."

I was still hesitating about when to tell you, but I think today is a good opportunity. When do you think we should tell Lucy about our relationship?

Upon hearing Zhu Zhe say that she was pregnant, Zhou Chen immediately hugged her and spun her around happily. This was truly a double celebration; he never expected that Zhu Zhe would also be pregnant.

"Zhu Zhe, it's been months. Was it when you went back to your hometown? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

From now on, you'll be under special protection, so don't overwork yourself. As for when to tell Lucy about our relationship, let's wait until she's out of maternity leave. It's not too late to tell her then; let's not upset her right now.

Zhu Zhe did not refute Zhou Chen's attitude. After all, Lucy had just given birth and was in a weak state, so it was best not to upset her.

However, Ye Zhenzhen overheard their conversation and immediately took leave after seeing Zhou Chen's post on WeChat Moments.

Ye Zhenzhen went home to change clothes, but she didn't expect to hear Zhou Chen's surprised voice coming from the rented apartment as soon as she got out of the elevator. Then she heard the news that Zhu Zhe was also pregnant.

She was even pregnant with Zhou Chen's child, which naturally surprised Ye Zhenzhen. She wondered when they had gotten together.

"Should I congratulate you two? I've overheard some secrets I shouldn't have heard. When did you two start hooking up?"

Zhou Chen, you acted quickly! I didn't expect you to keep the secret so well. If I hadn't come back, we would still be completely in the dark.

Ye Zhenzhen walked to the door, leaned against it, and teased the two of them. The sudden voice startled Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhe. Zhu Zhe quickly left Zhou Chen's embrace. When she saw Ye Zhenzhen at the door, her expression immediately became awkward.

Zhou Chen was quite open-minded. Since Ye Zhenzhen had heard it, there was no point in hiding it. So Zhou Chen immediately said, "Ye Zhenzhen, you're not my woman. Why should I tell you about my relationship with Zhu Zhe?"

Since you've heard it, I won't hide it anymore. However, I still hope you won't tell anyone. At least until Lucy finishes her postpartum confinement, I don't want to upset her. I hope you can keep this a secret.

Ye Zhenzhen's face was full of curiosity as she looked at the two of them and asked, "Of course I can keep it a secret, but you haven't answered my question yet. When did you two get together?"

Just as Zhou Chen was about to explain, Zhu Zhe spoke first: "It was when we went back to our hometown to deal with my younger brother's problem that Zhou Chen helped me a lot, so we got together."

It's obvious that Zhu Zhe is lying. They started their affair much earlier, when Zhu Zhe's younger brother came to Shanghai. However, Zhu Zhe didn't mention it, so Zhou Chen didn't refute it.

Although he didn't know why Zhu Zhe would say that, Zhou Chen could only go along with Zhu Zhe's words and say, "That's right, we were in love at the time, so we got together."

Before I clarify my relationship with Zhu Zhe, you absolutely mustn't spread it around. If you really upset Lucy, don't blame me for turning on you.

Ye Zhenzhen said irritably, "Zhou Chen, you're such a scumbag! You've managed to seduce all three women on the 22nd floor."

I feel a bit superfluous. Looks like I should keep my distance from you from now on, lest you make a move on me.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Chen shook his head and refused, saying, "You're overthinking it. I have to take care of Lucy, the children, and even Zhu Zhe. I don't have time to make a move on you. Don't flatter yourself."

These words were a bit of a slap in the face, and Ye Zhenzhen was immediately displeased. Fortunately, Zhu Zhe stepped forward to appease Ye Zhenzhen, which prevented her from losing her temper.
