Chapter 107 How Men Give Birth
Zhu Mingchuan held her arm, which he had gripped so tightly it was red, and felt even more guilty: "How could you be alright? It's my fault, let's go to the hospital!"
"I'm worried about you. Aunt Li said you went to the hospital today. Are you feeling unwell? Shall I go with you to see the doctor again?"
He insisted on taking Zhu's mother to the hospital, seemingly worried. Unable to resist his insistence, Zhu's mother repeated what she had just said: "It's not me, it's your daughter! She's pregnant!"
"what?"
This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, crashing down on Zhu Mingchuan with tremendous force!
He was completely stunned. His bright and sharp eyes were now wide open, as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets.
His face was filled with disbelief, his mouth was slightly open but he couldn't make a sound, as if something was tightly choking his throat.
Is his daughter pregnant? Is it the kind of pregnancy he understands?
Yueyue is a man now! Is technology that advanced now? Men can give birth too?
Zhu's mother manually closed his mouth, interrupting his wild thoughts.
"How can Yueyue have a baby?" he asked, voicing his doubts.
Zhu's mother snorted, her tone tinged with reproach: "If she wants to have a child, she can. Isn't this your daughter, Zhu Mingchuan? She's perfectly fine!"
Zhu Mingchuan was heartbroken because of his daughter's involvement, but he didn't dare to blame his daughter in front of his wife, because that would only make her angrier!
He chuckled and spoke up for his daughter, saying, "Childbirth is so painful, how could she endure it? You know Yueyue is terrified of pain!"
"Tch," Zhu's mother knew what he was up to the moment she saw him like that. "She's not afraid of pain anymore! She's so strong!"
"How is that possible? Is this child a deity? Returning a debt of gratitude? And it doesn't hurt? Every childbirth is painful, especially since she's a man now, how could she give birth?"
I've been talking to him for ages, but he still doesn't believe me!
"Go ask her yourself!" Zhu's mother pushed him away and went back home.
Standing in the yard, Zhu Mingchuan was still completely bewildered. What did his wife mean? Was his daughter really pregnant?
No, he had to go find his daughter and get to the bottom of it.
He ran back in one breath and saw Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu coming downstairs.
Grabbing his daughter's arm, Zhu Mingchuan stared intently at her stomach: "Yueyue, are you pregnant?"
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Zhu's mother sighed and rubbed her forehead: Who asks a man if he's pregnant? Shouldn't you be asking the "woman" next to him?
Zhu Tingyue wanted to correct him, but she was afraid that he would get even angrier if she did, so she lowered her head and replied, "Mm!"
"That's great!" Zhu Mingchuan exclaimed, smiling as he looked at his mother.
The group was shocked by his reaction. They looked at each other, unable to believe that their father wasn't angry.
Zhu Mingchuan excitedly grasped his daughter's hand: "See? I told you your mother was healthy and nothing would happen to her!"
What does this have to do with Mom's health? Zhu Tingyue looked up at her father with a puzzled expression.
Zhu Mingchuan continued talking excitedly, and Zhu Tingyue occasionally chimed in, "Yes, Mom is fine and healthy!"
Zhu's mother couldn't stand his behavior anymore. With such poor comprehension skills, how could he be a company president? If that's the case, then the title of president these days is far too illegitimate, isn't it?
Having gained his daughter's approval, Zhu Mingchuan was eager to show off to his wife. He turned around to look for her, but froze in his tracks.
Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu suddenly tensed up. Based on Zhu Tingyue's understanding of his father, he knew that his father must have said something to him earlier. Now, he realized what had happened!
"Zhu Tingyue!" Zhu Mingchuan suddenly roared, "Who's pregnant? Tell me, who's pregnant?"
Zhu Tingyue was startled by her father, but she still subconsciously looked at Shen Yanqiu. She had never seen her father angry before, so she was glad she wasn't afraid.
"I... Dad, I'm pregnant!" Zhu Tingyue admitted without hesitation.
"You... Zhu Tingyue! How could you..."
His trembling finger pointed straight at Zhu Tingyue, and his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Tingyue, his gaze filled with complex emotions—anger, surprise, fear… all intertwined.
Zhu Tingyue knew this would happen sooner or later, but seeing her father, who had always doted on her, like this still made her feel incredibly sad.
She stepped forward, wanting to help him, but he ruthlessly shook her off.
Zhu's mother empathized with her daughter's feelings, but having come to terms with reality, she couldn't bear to see her daughter upset any longer. She came over and called out, "Zhu Mingchuan, calm down!"
Zhu Mingchuan couldn't calm down, and his wife's words couldn't stop his anger.
"How can I stay calm? Zhu Tingyue, tell me, how can I stay calm? My obedient and sensible daughter got pregnant without a word! Keeping your mother and me in the dark! You're something else!"
Zhu Mingchuan's deep, angry voice seemed to roar from the depths of his throat, like an enraged lion, each word carrying a burning rage that seemed capable of igniting the surrounding air.
His tone was urgent and sharp, like an extremely sharp sword piercing straight into Zhu Tingyue's heart.
Shen Yanqiu stopped Zhu Tingyue from speaking. He took a few steps forward, walked to Zhu Mingchuan's side, and bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. Please don't blame Yueyue."
Unfortunately, his words were like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating only a tiny ripple before disappearing without a trace, failing to quell the burning anger in Zhu Mingchuan's heart.
Zhu Mingchuan suddenly turned his head and fixed his eyes, filled with furious flames, on Shen Yanqiu.
The next moment, he raised his right hand without hesitation, so fast that it was like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, leaving no time for anyone to react.
With a crisp "smack," the hand landed heavily on Shen Yanqiu's fair and delicate cheek, instantly leaving a bright red and glaring handprint.
The slap was so powerful that it made Shen Yanqiu's head tilt to the side, and he became unsteady on his feet.
None of the people present expected Zhu Mingchuan to actually hit someone. Only when they saw Shen Yanqiu stagger after being hit did they realize what was happening and rush towards him.
"Zhu Mingchuan! What are you doing?" Zhu's mother shouted at him as she ran over.
Zhu Tingyue helped Shen Yanqiu up, gently pried his hands away from his face, and asked carefully, "Does it hurt? Let me see!"
