"Yes?"
Gong Yu was stunned, but she quickly reacted and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "Master, you, you mean, I am pregnant?"
"Yes, you are pregnant, Gong Yu, and you will be a mother soon."
Zhou Chen was also overjoyed. In fact, after traveling through so many worlds, he had long been accustomed to being a father, but this time was different.
Thirteen years ago, he was infected with a fire-cold poison. Although he was detoxified with the help of his master and fellow apprentices, his body was severely damaged during the detoxification process.
Later, he relied on his skills as an old horse to recover his body, but his foundation was injured and he knew that it was basically impossible for him to have offspring in this world.
That's why he told Gong Yu about this matter before they got together, allowing Gong Yu to think it over carefully.
It was also because of his physical condition that he never took any protective measures when he was with Gong Yu, and there were no problems for most of the past six months. But today he discovered that Gong Yu was pregnant.
He had no doubt about this sudden surprise. He knew very well what kind of person Gong Yu was. He was the only man in her life from the beginning to the end, so this child was his, and there was absolutely no mistake.
Only when one loses something will he understand the pain of loss. Although Zhou Chen could not be said to be in pain, he also felt a sense of regret in his heart.
But at this moment, this shortcoming suddenly disappeared, and he could be a father again in this world. This joy was really indescribable.
Gong Yu was also stunned. She was going to be a mother. Was this true? Was this true?
"Sir, didn't you say..."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I don't know why this happened. According to my previous situation, the possibility of having a child is very low. This is God's will. Very low does not mean there is no hope. Maybe you are my lucky star."
Gong Yu shed tears of excitement. What she wanted most was to be with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had said before that they might not have children, but she really didn't care.
But not caring doesn't mean not wanting it. Now that she has a child, she feels happier than ever before. She has a child with the person she loves most, and this is the greatest happiness.
"Am I really going to be a mother?"
In fact, it is abnormal for a woman of her age not to be married. Having a child at this age can be said to be quite late.
Zhou Chen said softly, "Well, you are going to be a mother, so you have to protect yourself better in the future. After this matter is over, don't go to Miaoyinfang anymore. Just stay at home and take care of the baby, okay?"
Gong Yu nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I will listen to you, Master."
If it wasn't for completing her plan, she wouldn't want to go to Miaoyinfang at all. Staying at home, accompanying Zhou Chen, and managing their home, isn't this a hundred times better than staying in Miaoyinfang?
"When you go to the Xie Mansion today, don't get too emotional. I will always be watching over you and protecting you. Just remember, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Gong Yu's pregnancy is a big deal, but it just so happened that today was such an unfortunate day. In addition to Xie Yu, Gong Yu must come forward.
But fortunately, Gong Yu has just become pregnant. In addition, Gong Yu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has a strong physique, so there is no need to worry too much about hurting the child.
"With the young master here, I'm not afraid."
Zhou Chen said: "This may be my only chance, so both you and I should take it seriously and put the child first in everything."
Although Gong Yu was pregnant, Zhou Chen didn't think that he was fine, because before he was with Gong Yu, he had had other women, like Wan Bo. They had been together for quite a while, but Wan Bo didn't get pregnant, and the same was true for other women.
So Zhou Chen felt that this might be his only chance, so he wanted to keep this child given by God.
Gong Yu nodded solemnly. She would have done the same thing even without Zhou Chen telling her. At this moment, Zhou Chen ranked first in her mind, and the baby in her belly, who had not yet started to develop, ranked second.
Zhou Chen stayed at home until after lunch, then asked housekeeper Lu to prepare the carriage and took Gong Yu to the Su Mansion.
He made an appointment with Mei Changsu to go to Ningguo Marquis Mansion together this afternoon.
Zhou Chen first took Gong Yu into the Su Mansion, and then went straight to find Mei Changsu.
"Why did you come here so early?"
Mei Changsu was a little surprised. They had originally agreed on a time for late afternoon. After all, the banquet at the Xie Mansion was to be held in the evening, so the daytime was left for the family to celebrate.
Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "An unexpected thing happened. Gong Yu is pregnant."
"Oh, being pregnant is good..."
Mei Changsu reflexively wanted to say hello, but suddenly he reacted, raised his head abruptly, and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything nonsense, just nodded at him: "It's true, I just took your pulse this morning, it should be more than a month, but I didn't notice it before."
Mei Changsu took a deep breath and said, "But didn't Elder Pavilion Master Lin say that our bodies were severely damaged and it would be difficult for us to have offspring?"
Zhou Chen said, "I don't know what happened. To be honest, I have traveled to many countries and stayed with many women, but after so many years, only Gong Yu got pregnant. I think my master is right, but Gong Yu is pregnant. I think this may be a matter of probability. After all, nothing is absolute."
Mei Changsu suddenly smiled again: "This is a good thing, an absolute good thing, a great thing, Xiaochen, it seems that this is God's will. Your choice is right, Gong Yu is suitable for you."
He is not a person who believes in metaphysics, but there are some things that cannot be judged with normal thinking.
Zhou Chen didn't have sex with so many people, but he did with Gong Yu. Who can say that this is not metaphysics?
But then he frowned: "No, Gong Yu is pregnant. If she gets involved in what happened tonight, it might be dangerous. We can't let her take risks."
Zhou Chen said: "Things have developed to this point. We have no way out. I will keep an eye on Gong Yu tonight and will not let anything happen to her."
But Mei Changsu shouted: "No, this could be your only child, we can't let Gong Yu take this risk."
He regarded Zhou Chen as his best brother. They shared the same suffering. Now that Zhou Chen had a child, his joy was no less than Zhou Chen's. So the first thing he thought of was to help Zhou Chen protect this child given by God, rather than putting the unborn child at risk for his own plans.
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, he really thinks so in his heart. There may be another chance to get rid of Xie Yu in the future, but Zhou Chen may only have this one child.
Zhou Chen said decisively: "Don't say it, Xiaoshu, this is not just your business now. We are carrying the hopes of too many people. We can't give up halfway. Besides, Gong Yu is not as weak as you think. She is very smart and knows how to protect herself. What's more, I am here. The Ningguo Marquis Mansion can't stop us brothers."
"Can……"
"Don't say but, it's settled."
Mei Changsu couldn't persuade Zhou Chen and could only sigh heavily in the end. However, he made a decision in his heart that no matter what happened, he must put Gong Yu's safety as the top priority.
Although this is Zhou Chen's child and has nothing to do with him, he feels that the appearance of this child is like a gift from God and a miracle, so he must protect this miraculous child.
It took a long time for Mei Changsu to calm down, and then he happily congratulated Zhou Chen.
"Xiaochen, congratulations on becoming a father. I just remembered to congratulate you now."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It is worth congratulating. Considering our friendship over the years, when my child is born, I will ask him to recognize you as his godfather."
"Acknowledge me as your godfather?"
Mei Changsu was stunned. He never expected Zhou Chen to say such a thing.
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why? My child is your adopted son, aren't you happy?"
Mei Changsu laughed and said, "How is that possible? I just feel that with my current condition, I might not be able to see my child grow up before he is gone."
Zhou Chen scolded dissatisfiedly: "Don't say such things. You won't die as long as I'm here. Just wait for my child to call you godfather."
"Godfather?"
Mei Changsu's eyes were full of hope. Although it was not his own child, it would be nice if Zhou Chen's child could call him godfather.
Thinking of a soft little kid hugging his legs and loudly calling him godfather, he couldn't help but smile.
You hour!
Meng Zhi and Xia Dong arrived at the Ningguo Marquis Mansion at almost the same time. Both of them held high positions in the court, so Xie Yu, the owner of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, came out to greet them personally, and also brought his relative-in-law Zhuo Dingfeng.
Before they entered, they were still talking when they heard the person in charge of welcoming them outside shouting, "Mr. Su Zhesu is here, Mr. Chen Yuchen is here."
Suddenly, Xie Yu and others couldn't help but turn their eyes towards the door, and Xiao Jingrui even stepped forward to greet them personally.
Zhou Chen brought Gong Yu and Mei Changsu into the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.
As soon as Xie Yu saw Mei Changsu, his eyes suddenly became gloomy. Mei Changsu was the person he had always wanted to get rid of, but several attempts to assassinate him failed, and finally he had to give up.
He clearly wanted to kill Mei Changsu, but now that he had come to celebrate the birthday of his "son" Xiao Jingrui, he could only greet him with a smile.
A few people chatted for a while in the courtyard, and then walked into the main hall of the central courtyard of the marquis' mansion.
By this time, the sky had turned dark and it was approaching the hour of Xu. Xie Yu went to the backyard to bring Princess Li Yang, while Zhou Chen and others were in the main hall to be received by Xie Bi, the son of the Marquis of Ningguo, and were ready to take their seats.
Meng Zhi and Xia Dong looked at Mei Changsu from time to time, especially Xia Dong, who nodded at Mei Changsu imperceptibly, indicating that she had made all the arrangements.
As they were exchanging eye contact, they suddenly heard a scream from behind the screen. Xiao Jingrui, who was talking to Zhou Chen, hurried over.
As it turned out, when he looked closely, he found that the person who screamed was Yan Yujin, which made him very angry.
"Yujin, what the hell are you yelling about?"
Yan Yujin didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingrui's complaints, but looked at the sharp sword in his hand with surprise.
"Jingrui, take a look, this is a gift from Brother Yu."
Only then did Xiao Jingrui realize that Yan Yujin was making such a fuss because of the gift Zhou Chen had given him. He looked at the sword in Yan Yujin's hand.
When he saw it, he was shocked. He was an expert in swordsmanship and he could tell whether a sword was good or bad.
He could tell at a glance that the sword in Yan Yujin's hand was extraordinary, and the cold light it emitted was far beyond what an ordinary sword could possess.
"Is this sword really given by Brother Yu?"
Yan Yujin rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, I found it in Brother Yu's gift box. Look carefully, there are words on the hilt."
As he said that, he handed the sword to Xiao Jingrui.
Xiao Jingrui took the sword, looked at the hilt, and muttered, "Feihong."
Then he also exclaimed: "Flying Rainbow Sword?" Then with a look of shock on his face, he quickly walked to Zhou Chen and the others in front of the screen.
"Brother Yu."
Zhou Chen was talking quietly with Gong Yu. When he heard Xiao Jingrui's voice, he turned around and looked: "What's wrong, Jingrui?"
Xiao Jingrui raised the sword in his hand and asked, "Brother Yu, is this the Feihong Sword?"
"Yes, it's the Feihong Sword."
Xiao Jingrui hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, this sword is too precious, how can you give it to me as a gift? No, take it back quickly, I can't afford it."
Hearing Xiao Jingrui's words, Meng Zhi's expression changed, and he asked in surprise: "Feihong Sword? Could it be the Feihong Sword that was worn by Senior Situ, who was ranked the number one expert on the Langya Expert List more than 30 years ago?"
Xia Dong was also surprised when he heard this: "Is it really the Feihong Sword? I have also heard of Senior Situ's name. He was the top master for several years and was most famous for his swordsmanship. The Feihong Sword was his exclusive sword. How could it appear here?"
Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "I got this sword by chance. Jing Rui, I think this sword is very suitable for you. Don't refuse it. Accept it."
Xiao Jingrui was very determined: "No, this sword is too precious, I am not worthy of it, it will be buried in my hands. Brother Yu, you are a great martial artist, you are the best owner of it."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Jing Rui, you are wrong. Although I have some martial arts skills, I am not a pure swordsman. You are different. You have been using swords since you were a child, and you have a pure heart. You are a pure swordsman. This sword will not be buried in your hands."
"But."
This is a famous sword. If it were released into the world, it would definitely attract countless people to fight for it. If I say I don’t like it, I would be lying, but Xiao Jingrui still doesn’t want to take advantage of it.
Zhou Chen: "Don't say but, you are the birthday girl this year, this is my gift to you, there is no reason to give back a gift you have given away, if you don't accept it, I will not be able to stay any longer, so I can only leave."
"How can that be done?"
Xiao Jingrui was shocked and tried to stop him. He truly regarded Zhou Chen as a close friend, so how could he let Zhou Chen leave?
Mei Changsu advised at this time: "Jingrui, what Brother Yu said makes sense. The sword is given to heroes. Since he is willing to give it to you, he naturally trusts you and treats you as a good friend. Good friends should not refuse, so just accept it."
"Yes, Jingrui, this is Brother Yu's gift. If you feel bad about it, you can just give him something nice next time on his birthday."
Yan Yujin also gave the same advice.
Xiao Jingrui could only nod under everyone's persuasion: "Brother Yu, I really don't know how to thank you."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll eat and drink more later, you can't despise me."
This made everyone laugh, and Xiao Jingrui also smiled bitterly.
"Brother Yu is joking."
Yan Yujin's eyes suddenly rolled: "Jingrui, can you lend me this sword for a few days?"
"You think beautifully."
Xiao Jingrui refused without hesitation, then sheathed the sword and let Xie Bi keep it with great care.
This is the best gift he has received today. Just for Brother Yu's kindness, he cannot let the Feihong Sword be buried. He must work harder to practice sword in the future. Even if he does not ask to be listed on the Langya Master List like the previous owner of the Feihong Sword, he must not tarnish the reputation of the Feihong Sword.
"Cheapskate."
Yan Yujin snorted in dissatisfaction, then showed the small gourd in his hand and asked Mei Changsu, "Brother Su, what is this? It smells like medicinal pills."
Mei Changsu explained: "I was in a hurry to go out, so I just packed ten Heart Protecting Pills with me."
"Heart-protecting pill?"
Before anyone else could respond, Meng Zhi was the first to ask, "Mr. Su, the gift you gave was the Heart Protection Pill? And you gave ten of them, isn't that too much?"
When Xiao Jingrui heard that it was very valuable, he was about to decline politely, but Yan Yujin snatched it back.
"Is this very valuable? No, no, Brother Su, you are too biased. It would be a waste to give such a valuable thing to Jing Rui. You have never given me one before."
