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

Chapter 439 Thank you... for letting me become a mother...

Around 10 PM, Yin Mengran entered the delivery room. Zhou Heng, having changed his clothes, followed her in; he wanted to stay by her side...

He stayed by her side during her most difficult time, saying that it helped ease her pain.

Tang Zhi was also busy helping out, and after they entered the delivery room, she also made phone calls to notify the others.

Everyone was overjoyed to hear the news, and those who were free at that time, and those who lived nearby, all came.

There were Shen Linyi, Tong Yining, Kong Yue, Yu Jingwan, and others.

The others were too far away and it was getting late to arrive immediately, but they were all heading this way.

"What should I do! What should I do..."

Tong Yining paced back and forth in the corridor, looking very nervous and anxious.

Tang Zhi appeared remarkably calm. Sitting there, she said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's nothing serious, I'll be out in a bit."

"I'm just a little worried. I hope everything goes smoothly and I can give birth to my baby safely..."

Tong Yining clasped her hands together and began to pray silently.

Shen Linyi sat quietly beside Tang Zhi, having come over immediately upon learning that Tang Zhi was about to give birth.

She is always ready to help if you need anything.

She was actually very anxious, but she didn't show it. She could only pray silently that everything would be alright.

Holding Yu Jingwan's hand, Kong Yue was extremely excited as he was about to witness the birth of Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran's child, as if he were witnessing a historic moment.

The situation outside the delivery room was far from peaceful, but the delivery room itself was relatively quiet...

By this time, Yin Mengran had been in pain for several hours and had finally reached the point where she could give birth.

Her sweat-soaked hair clung haphazardly to her forehead, her eyebrows furrowed, her nostrils flared, and she breathed rapidly...

Her lips were pale, her face was ashen, and she was in so much pain that sweat poured down her body nonstop...

Zhou Heng stood to the side, holding Yin Mengran's hand tightly. He was very surprised because even in so much pain, Yin Mengran hadn't uttered a single cry...

Even when the pain was at its worst, Yin Mengran would just close her eyes tightly, hold Zhou Heng's hand tightly against her cheek, as if that would make her feel a little better.

Zhou Heng thought about how he had been in so much pain that he had screamed until his voice was hoarse, while Yin Mengran had endured it all without uttering a sound...

From this perspective, these men are not even as good as Yin Mengran, a woman...

"Honey! You can do it! Honey..."

Zhou Heng cheered Yin Mengran on from the sidelines, but seeing her like this, he felt particularly sorry for her. He just hoped it would end soon.

Let Yin Mengran suffer less and stop enduring such pain.

Yin Mengran was speechless, biting her lip, and couldn't even hear what Zhou Heng was saying.

However, just hearing Zhou Heng's voice made her feel much better and relieved a lot of the pain.

Time ticked by, and Zhou Heng felt utterly helpless, but could only pray that it would end soon...

It was already past 11 p.m., and people were still chatting outside the delivery room. Their emotions had calmed down considerably.

Have you named the child yet?

"He's up, I think his name is Zhou Wei'an."

"How about we give her a nickname? How about An'an? It sounds a bit like a girl's name."

"Hey, what do you think the child should call me? Uncle Kong?"

"Or else?"

"Actually, I want to be the child's godfather..."

"Dream on!"

The people outside were chatting amongst themselves. After a while, the lights in the delivery room suddenly went out. The group of people quickly stood up and stood guard at the door of the delivery room.

Everyone looked very nervous until, after a while, the door slowly opened and the doctor came out.

The group immediately surrounded the doctor, eager to get the results from him.

The doctor took off his mask and said with a smile:

"Mother and child are safe."

"yeah!"

The crowd cheered, and even Tang Zhi, who had been the calmest, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Actually, she was the one who was most worried. Ever since Yin Mengran started experiencing pain, she had been on tenterhooks, constantly running around doing things for Zhou Heng.

She is especially happy to hear that she has given birth smoothly.

At that moment, the sound of a baby crying could be heard from inside the delivery room.

Zhou Heng stood there, cradling a healthy baby boy in his arms—his and Yin Mengran's child...

Zhou Heng lowered his head and looked at the baby's face. His pupils seemed to tremble. Even though he had made all the necessary preparations, the moment he became a father still caught him off guard.

Along with the child came the greatest responsibility he had ever received: the responsibility of a father.

Zhou Heng gently placed the child next to Yin Mengran. At this moment, Yin Mengran was extremely weak, her face was pale, and she was even having difficulty breathing...

She's still recovering and feeling terrible, but thankfully, it's all over now...

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the baby beside her. Strangely, the baby, who had been crying incessantly just moments before, fell silent the moment it lay down next to Yin Mengran...

She was very obedient and fell asleep peacefully...

Yin Mengran's lips slowly curved into a smile. She reached out and gently embraced the baby, saying in a very weak voice:

"My...child...this is...Zhou Heng's and my baby...our baby..."

Looking at his wife and child, Zhou Heng felt incredibly happy in that moment.

"Honey...you've worked so hard..."

Zhou Heng reached out and gently touched Yin Mengran's cheek, revealing a doting expression and speaking in a very gentle tone.

Yin Mengran took Zhou Heng's hand, pressed it against her cheek, rubbed it like a cat, and then smiled happily.

She had finally accomplished a major milestone in her life: giving birth to a child for Zhou Heng.

She was happy throughout her pregnancy, never anxious, and certainly not depressed; there was no possibility of that.

Because Zhou Heng was really, really good to her, taking extra care of her during her pregnancy, she was happy and blessed to give birth to this child.

"husband..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Thank you... for letting me become a mother..."
