Hiding her pregnant belly and leaving, the CEO's ex-husband cried red eyes

"Om-"

"Om-"

The vibration sound of the incoming phone call kept vibrating in my ears.

Lu Beichuan opened his bloodshot eyes and rubbed them tiredly. There was a red mark on his left cheek from the building blocks on the table, which was a bit painful.

He picked up the phone and answered it directly from the source of the voice without even checking the caller ID.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard an old man's harsh scolding.

"Lu Beichuan, you bastard! Where did you lock Xia Xia up?"

Lu Beichuan frowned.

"Don't play dead! Tell me now! I had a feeling that something must have happened to Xia Xia at your place last time! How dare you hide it from me! Not only did you always bully her in the past, but now you've even locked her up and restricted her freedom! What do you think of her?"

The old lady was furious.

He knocked the cane on the ground several times. His lips were trembling.

Lu Beichuan rubbed his swollen temples, his eyes fell on the castle blocks that had not been completed on the table, and his eyes sank a little.

"Who told you?"

"Why do you care about this! Hurry up and send Xia Xia to me! You are really going too far!"

The old lady has been worried about An Xia ever since she had no news from him.

He was always worried and sent people to sneak to Tianzhu Garden to check what was going on.

After knowing that Lu Beichuan had rarely returned to Tianzhu Garden during this period, and even went to the company less frequently, the old lady thought that the two of them had found a place to vacation to repair their relationship and mend their marital relationship.

The result was unexpected.

Lu Beichuan actually imprisoned the person.

Moreover, this matter was done perfectly. None of the people she arranged to be around Lu Beichuan reported this mess to her.

When the old lady received the call from the person who claimed to be An Xia's friend, she was still worried that she would wrongly accuse Lu Beichuan and dampen his mood, so she contacted Xiao Ming first.

If Xiao Ming hadn't been hesitant and evasive when asked about An Xia's recent situation, the old lady might have really ignored the matter.

The old lady had always doted on Lu Beichuan and rarely spoke harshly to him.

The tone of voice when speaking to him is much gentler than that when speaking to other family members.

But this time, the old lady was really angry.

Just by hearing the tone of her voice, I could imagine how angry she was on the other end of the phone.

In the past, Lu Beichuan would have surrendered and obeyed the old lady's orders after being severely lectured by her, but today...

"An Xia is doing well by my side, you don't have to worry."

The old lady was stunned.

"What do you mean? You're not going to tell me, are you?"

Lu Beichuan pursed his lips, a little shaken, but finally stood firm in his attitude.

"You don't have to listen to any gossip that comes to your ears in the future."

Lu Beichuan said in a deep voice with a cold expression.

"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."

Before the old lady finished her condemnation, Lu Beichuan hung up the phone.

The moment the screen was locked and turned black, I subconsciously felt annoyed and wanted to throw it away.

But when he looked up and saw the cozy decoration in the baby's room, he suppressed the irritation he wanted to vent.

I don't want to break the quiet beauty of this room.

I barely slept for two hours lying on the small building block table. My entire back was stiff and aching. My legs were numb from sitting bent.

He reached out and rubbed it as usual to relieve it.

He repeated this action every day for more than half a month.

He was the first one to arrive at the company every day and the last one to leave. When he came back and saw the empty house, he felt bitter. The master bedroom was cold and he was the only one there. He didn't want to be alone, so he sat in the newly renovated baby room.

I took apart the building blocks that I had bought a long time ago and planned to assemble with my children when they grew up.

I sat there all night.

He couldn't fall asleep even though he was conscious, so he forced himself to stay awake until his body was too tired to bear it anymore, then he lay down on the table and managed to get some sleep.

The two hours of sleep he had just gotten were the only sleep he had gotten in the last forty-eight hours.

The old lady's call immediately drove away the fatigue in his muscles. Lu Beichuan picked up the unfinished building blocks on the table, and slowly put them together in silence while referring to the instructions.

Ever since he knew An Xia was pregnant, Lu Beichuan bought a lot of these toys.

The entire storage room is filled with them.

I used to fantasize that when my children grew up, the three of us could sit together in the back garden or by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, looking at the flowers in the spring and playing with the snow in the winter.

But now, all the beautiful fantasies have finally become nothingness, bubbles that will never come true again.

Only a few steps are left and the entire castle will be completed.

Looking at the assembled building blocks, Lu Beichuan felt empty again.

I want to change the status quo, but I am powerless to do so.

Whenever I close my eyes, my mind always thinks of the day when An Xia almost had a miscarriage, and the day when An Xia had the operation.

The nightmares that had plagued him since his youth came back to haunt him in another form.

I sat there in a daze from dusk till dawn.

The daily alarm set on his phone rang on time, bringing Lu Beichuan back to his senses.

He picked up his phone, turned off the alarm, and subconsciously opened WeChat with his fingertips. The top message was Xiao Tao.

A red dot flashes at the back, indicating messages that have not been read yet.

He clicked it.

It's a photo from yesterday.

Lu Beichuan told Xiao Tao to take some photos for An Xia every night after she had rested.

She had been forced to stay in confinement for the past half month, and she had become a lot plumper, with a bit more flesh on her face. Her weight was indeed increasing regularly.

But my mental state is getting worse day by day.

During the first few days of being locked up, An Xia kept making a fuss about wanting to go out and leave.

But after struggling for ten days and realizing it was useless, she became quiet.

Every day I live like a corpse, living a routine life.

Xiao Tao sent a message last night saying that she hasn't spoken for a week.

I began to refuse to communicate with the world.

Lu Beichuan pressed the side button to lock the phone, then he let out a long sigh and placed the phone upside down on the table.

I clearly don't want to be distracted by her affairs anymore, and I don't want my judgment to be affected anymore.

But Lu Beichuan couldn't help but click on the photos sent by Xiao Tao every day.

She has been locked up for more than half a month, it's time for her to behave herself.

Lu Beichuan rubbed his face, stood up, stretched his stiff body, picked up his phone and called Xiao Ming.

"You host today's morning meeting. I'm going to the hospital."

The person on the other end was obviously a little surprised, and was stunned for a long time before answering "OK".

After carefully cleaning up the garbage left by the building blocks and toys and wiping the dust off the bed and table, Lu Beichuan reluctantly walked out of the baby room.

After closing the door and turning around, his gaze fell on the master bedroom opposite, and the warmth in his eyes was instantly extinguished by indifference.
