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

Chapter 433 We...don't plan to have children in the future...

"Ah... Jingyu, I didn't expect you to have time to come. I remember you've been preparing for a concert recently, haven't you?"

Upon seeing Jing Yu, Zhou Heng recalled the news he had seen some time ago: most models choose to cross over into other fields, and Jing Yu was no exception.

She has a natural talent for singing and has gained public recognition after participating in several shows. She is currently preparing for a concert.

Logically speaking, she should be very busy right now, but I didn't expect her to still have time to come here.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to come and see me. Otherwise, it would be so inconsiderate of you. How is Mr. Yin?"

Jing Yu chuckled and peeked into the ward.

Zhou Heng stepped aside, pointed inside, and said, "Let's go in."

"okay."

Jing Yu entered the ward and greeted Yin Mengran and Shen Linyi. The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they chatted happily as soon as they met.

Zhou Heng didn't want to disturb their conversation. He was about to go out and buy something. With so many people coming to see Yin Mengran, he had forgotten that he should prepare something to treat them.

As Zhou Heng walked out of the ward and into the hospital lobby, he encountered several other people who had come to visit him.

Zhou Heng just hadn't expected that these three couples would come together.

Yu Lingxue and Bai Cang, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao, as well as Kong Yue and Yu Jingwan, chatted as they walked into the hospital.

After walking a few steps, they saw Zhou Heng walking towards them.

"Hey! Brother Zhou! What are you doing down here?"

When Kong Yue saw Zhou Heng, he waved with delight, but was also a little puzzled, thinking that Zhou Heng should be taking care of Yin Mengran right now.

The others greeted Zhou Heng as well, and then Zhou Heng said:

"Oh, I'm going to buy something. Shen Linyi and Jing Yu are already here and upstairs. You can go up first."

"What do you want to buy? I'll go with you."

Liao Haomiao was the first to step forward and said to Zhou Heng,

He also told Zhu Tao to go upstairs and keep Yin Mengran company while he went to accompany Zhou Heng to buy things.

Seeing this, the other two boys also wanted to go together.

After all, the ward will be full of girls, and the two boys aren't very familiar with each other yet. They won't know what to talk about, so it will be awkward for them to be together.

So, the three girls went upstairs first, while Zhou Heng and the four boys left the hospital.

Before these three couples entered the hospital, the three girls were chatting while the three boys simply followed beside them, carrying bags and belongings, without saying a word...

Now, the three boys left their girlfriends and came to Zhou Heng's side, as if they had suddenly released their pent-up emotions.

"Brother Zhou! Congratulations! You're going to be a dad soon. How does it feel?"

Kong Yue was quite concerned about this issue, after all, he and Yu Jingwan were also trying to conceive...

He saw in TV dramas that the men who knew they were going to be fathers had very strong reactions, as if they had won the lottery, extremely excited.

He had also wondered if he would react the same way when he himself became a father.

"Feel..."

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, then looked up and thought for a while. He recalled his thoughts when he first learned that Yin Mengran was pregnant; it was indeed a mixture of shock and delight.

But now that Yin Mengran is about to give birth, his feelings are different.

"My current feeling... is that I don't value the child that much. After all... it was Ranran who carried the baby for ten months, so she must have a deeper affection for the child. I'm a complete stranger to the child. My main hope is that she can be safe and sound and give birth to the child safely. Nothing else is as important as this."

"What a good man... I've learned something new again, Brother Zhou. I always learn something from being around you..."

Kong Yue nodded, extended his hand to give Zhou Heng a light clap, his face full of admiration.

He is now a complete fan of Zhou Heng. If Zhou Heng tells him to go east, he will never go west.

Zhou Heng looked at Liao Haomiao beside him and asked, "Do you have any plans for when you're getting married?"

Zhou Heng thought to himself that Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao had been together for about the same amount of time as he and Yin Mengran, both having been together for many years.

Their relationship remained stable during this period; they didn't argue or break up.

Both sets of parents have met, so it's time to start thinking about marriage, right?

Liao Haomiao thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...we often think about this problem, but there are just too many factors to consider, so we always give up after a little thought."

"Oh right..."

Liao Haomiao paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, continued:

"We've discussed it, and we...don't plan to have children in the future..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng immediately became interested and looked at Liao Haomiao with some surprise.

He thought to himself that Liao Haomiao's family was well-off, and raising several children wouldn't be a problem. Maybe the two of them simply didn't like children?

"What? Don't you like children?"

"No... Think about it, once you have a child, it's a family of three, and it's hard to enjoy time as a couple anymore... We just feel... it's easier and more... intimate to live together as a couple, and we don't want so much pressure..."

The other three could easily understand Liao Haomiao's statement, because many people don't want children these days because of this psychological factor.

It's not that I don't like children, it's just that taking care of children is really tiring, and there's almost no time for just the two of us. If we want to be intimate, we have to do it secretly.

Conversely, if you don't have children, two people living together, eating three meals a day, going to get off work together, coming home together, cooking together, eating together, and taking walks together seems like a very easy and simple kind of happiness.

Zhou Heng looked at Bai Cang, raised his chin, and asked, "What about you? What are your plans with Yu Lingxue?"

"Uh...we..." Bai Cang thought for a moment, as if only two words came to mind: "Anything is fine."

They had discussed this topic before. Yu Lingxue's meaning was simple: she wanted to listen to Bai Cang, and Bai Cang also wanted to respect Yu Lingxue's opinion.

So both of them became "either way," meaning either one was fine with them...

Bai Cang nodded and replied:

"I think...we'll have one, because my father seems to really want us to have children, especially...he wants a boy, probably so someone can inherit the family business..."
