Chapter 861 Zhu Zhe's Initiative: I Want to Be a Mother
Zhu Zhe scared away his younger sister Zhu Tingting with just a few words. She thought she could get something out of him this time, but she didn't expect that the other party was not her sister's boyfriend at all, but just a loan shark.
This left Zhu Tingting somewhat disappointed. It seemed she wasn't destined to get rich. She had hoped to ride on her sister's coattails and climb the social ladder, but it turned out she had been overthinking it.
Upon hearing her older sister say that the whole family needed to raise money for her younger brother's affairs, Zhu Tingting was so frightened that she immediately ran away. She didn't want to spend money on her brother's affairs, much less get involved in these troublesome matters.
The scene of his sister running away really left Zhu Zhe speechless. This was his sister, and needless to say, he had no intention of repaying her for the tuition and living expenses he had sponsored for her university education.
Sigh, no one in the family is reliable, which really disappointed Zhu Zhe. She went home, told her parents that they would contact her again after the court's verdict on her brother's case, and that she was going back to Shanghai.
Zhu Zhe said that taking a long leave would put her job at risk, so it would be better to go back sooner rather than later to avoid leaving a bad impression on her boss.
These words immediately made Zhu Zhe's parents anxious again. They hurriedly told Zhu Zhe to go back home immediately, as keeping his job was the most important thing right now.
After all, his son was going to jail, so Zhu Minjie couldn't be relied on anymore. His second daughter rarely came home, and if his eldest daughter lost her job, there would be no one to support the family.
Haha, Zhu Zhe has her family firmly under her thumb. Her many years of working life have honed her skills. If it weren't for the sake of family ties, she wouldn't bother getting involved in family matters.
As soon as Zhu Zhe left home, he called Zhou Chen and asked him to come pick him up.
Next, they were going shopping. Since it was a rare trip back to their hometown, Zhu Zhe wanted to bring back some local specialties for his neighbors to try, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain it.
Women's shopping prowess is truly not to be underestimated. The two shopped for an entire afternoon, and Zhou Chen's hands were overflowing with bags, but Zhu Zhe still showed no sign of stopping.
"Zhu Zhe, that's enough. We'll just bring some local specialties. We really don't need anything else. What can't we find in Shanghai? Why go through all that trouble to buy it here and bring it back?"
"Take the things you're buying for example. Mianmian is still breastfeeding; if you buy her a doll, she won't need it."
Zhou Chen was speechless. His hands were full of bags, and he had a teddy bear tucked under his arm. "You don't spend money like this, because you don't need it at all."
Whether you need it or not is one thing, whether you buy it or not is another. This is my heartfelt wish, but you don't understand at all. Today you are just a tool, and tools have no right to speak.
"Zhou Chen, what do you think of these little tiger shoes? They look a bit old-fashioned, but that's how kids in the countryside wear them. Let's buy a pair for Mianmian too."
Zhu Zhe held up a pair of children's tiger shoes and asked Zhou Chen about them. Seeing Zhu Zhe's serious expression, what could Zhou Chen say? Of course, he should buy them. After all, children will grow up eventually and there will always be a time when they need them.
After shopping, because it was too late, the two did not go straight back to Shanghai. Instead, they stayed overnight at a hotel in Zhu Zhe's hometown and decided to go back the next morning.
Inside the hotel room, Zhu Zhe emerged from the bathroom, her hair disheveled and drying. A faint rose scent emanated from her, likely from the shampoo.
Zhou Chen, who was lying on the bed, beckoned to her, and Zhu Zhe immediately sat down on the side of the bed.
Zhou Chen put his arm around Zhu Zhe's shoulder from behind, smelling the fragrance in her hair, and teased, "Tell me, did you deliberately stay out shopping so late today so that we could stay at the hotel for one night?"
After all, since we got back to Shanghai, you've been either busy with work or under the watchful eyes of the neighbors, so we haven't had a chance to be intimate. Are you up to something tonight?
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhu Zhe's body immediately stiffened. Clearly, Zhou Chen had guessed correctly; Zhu Zhe did indeed intend to stay.
Zhu Zhe remained silent for a moment before confessing, "You really can't hide anything from me. You know I'm over thirty, which some people would call an 'old maid' (leftover woman). Who knows when the water and electricity will be cut off?"
At my age, many families already have children who are old enough to run errands. I used to worry that getting married and having children would affect the job I worked so hard to get, but now I don't have that concern at all.
Since Century Hotel is your property, isn't my position as manager secure?
Today is my ovulation period, and I want to be a mother, which is why I'm keeping you.
Zhu Zhe didn't hide her thoughts at all. She had too many concerns before, but now that she had climbed up to Zhou Chen's big tree, she certainly wouldn't give up.
After all, this wasn't the first time she'd slept with Zhou Chen. Since she was determined to be Zhou Chen's woman, getting pregnant as soon as possible would solidify her position. Zhu Zhe was that kind of pragmatic woman.
Unlike Yu Chuhui, who is still young, Zhu Zhe and Zhou Chen both used contraception. Zhu Zhe doesn't have many years left to waste, because the longer an older woman delays having a child, the more dangerous it becomes, just like Lucy's mother.
Zhou Chen frowned after hearing Zhu Zhe's words. He felt like he was a stud, which sounded a bit strange. "Are you going to pull some kind of trick of removing the father and keeping the son?"
However, Zhou Chen quickly laughed. Zhu Zhe shouldn't have done such a thing. Thinking back, the first time was when Zhu Zhe's younger brother took advantage of her being drunk to send her to his bed, and she resisted very much at the time.
It hasn't been that long, and Zhu Zhe has already said he wants to have a child with her. This is a big step forward in Zhou Chen's relationship. Is Zhu Zhe finally going to settle down with her?
Hehe, how could Zhou Chen refuse such a good thing?
Zhou Chen kissed Zhu Zhe's neck from behind, and Zhu Zhe slowly turned his face. Their eyes met, and Zhu Zhe's face immediately flushed red.
After all, it was she who brought it up this time, which is honestly a little embarrassing.
Looking at Zhu Zhe's luscious red lips, her eyes seemed to hold a pool of rippling water, filled with desire, which immediately stirred Zhou Chen's heart.
Zhou Chen's breathing became a little rapid. Then, Zhou Chen slowly pushed Zhu Zhe down and reached out to untie the bath towel on her body.
……
When they woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock. Compared to the radiant Zhu Zhe, Zhou Chen did feel some back pain. Zhu Zhe had really gone to great lengths the night before in order to become a mother as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen was in good physical condition, otherwise this womanizer would have been embarrassed.
"Zhou Chen, drive faster. I'm starting to miss our neighbors. I wonder how they've been these past few days, and if they've missed us?"
Zhu Zhe immediately urged her on, as she was now anxious to go back. If they had gone back yesterday, they would have been home long ago.
Zhu Zhe and Zhou Chen were unaware that during the two days they were away, another incident occurred on the 22nd floor. Of course, the one who caused the trouble was Ye Zhenzhen, because she had broken up with David.
