Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

When He Xi got off the bus, it was already dark and she felt like she was on school day with no sun in sight.

Lu Jinan stood at the door with his arms folded waiting for He Xi, looking at the flashing car lights. The lights flickered by, sometimes bright and sometimes dimmed, just like the road ahead.

As the door was closed, He Xi officially entered Lu Jinan's sight. He frowned and glanced at the time on his watch: "He Xi, you are really capable now. You come home at this time without even calling me."

He Xi sighed softly: "It's not easy to be Mrs. Lu!"

"Don't make excuses for your behavior." Lu Jinan carried the person into the house.

In the evening, He Xi took a comfortable hot bath as usual, and then snuggled into Lu Jinan's arms.

He Xi climbed onto the bed and curled up in his arms as usual. Lu Jinan curled his lips and kissed him on the forehead.

"Wife, do I still want to mess things up?"

"It's okay, your wife will cover you."

Lu Jinan put one hand around He Xi's waist and placed his hand on her lower abdomen: "Why can't people live as they please?"

He Xi knew that he wanted to directly take down Tang Yan, the parasite of the country and the company, but now the timing and evidence were not sufficient.

Lu Jinan smelled the smell of disinfectant in He Xi's hair, lowered his eyes and stared at the top of her head and asked: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

He Xi had been wondering if it was immoral to threaten someone with a pregnant woman. Suddenly, when Lu Jinan asked her this, she was stunned for a moment before she said, "I went to the hospital today, but it wasn't me. I went to see Song Qin."

Lu Jinan smiled, moved his body, bit He Xi's ear, and said vaguely: "You are good at hiding things. If I don't ask, you won't tell me?"

She felt that her behavior was somewhat shameful, and she didn't want Lu Jinan to know that she was such a person. After thinking for a while, she said, "The umbilical cord of the baby in Song Qin's belly is wrapped around her neck. She may need surgery in the near future, and she can also clearly feel that the baby's fetal movements have decreased."

When Lu Jinan heard her briefly explain the other party's current situation, he knew that she wanted to make a fuss about Song Qin.

Although he is a businessman, he was a man who was well-connected to both the black and white worlds in his previous life. He has seen and experienced some inferior things and methods, and he has even used them. Obviously, Song Qin, the pregnant woman, also has her place.

Lu Jinan thought for a moment and said contemptuously: "She is definitely the only weapon to threaten Tang Yan."

He Xi felt the rise and fall of the chest of the person behind him and sighed softly: "Isn't he too despicable? He is no different from those people?"

Lu Jinan frowned: "If self-defense is considered despicable, then this world should be destroyed."

He Xi nodded: "Oh, I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

"Yeah." Lu Jinan seemed to chuckle.

The alarm clock on the bedside table rang on time in the early morning. He Xi threw it away, but forgot to turn off the switch. It continued to "clamor" diligently in the dark corner.

Lu Jinan felt He Xi's bad temper when he woke up. It was difficult for him to get up in winter, but it would be relieved when the weather got warmer.

Lu Jinan carried He Xi on his back, and she lay on her back like a sloth, with her chin resting on his shoulder and her legs wrapped around his waist.

Lu Jinan held her steadily with both hands, opened the door of the cloakroom, and said softly: "Change your clothes and prepare for morning exercise. You didn't complete your daily tasks yesterday. The more you take medicine, the less you need. It's better to exercise to be safe."

Knowing clearly that He Xi had no right to refuse daily tasks, he still tried his best to act coquettishly and cutely towards Lu Jinan, attempting to soften his heart. He Xi rubbed his neck with the tip of her nose, and a tingling sensation came over her.

Lu Jinan chuckled: "If my wife doesn't want to do double exercise, change your clothes quickly."

He Xi opened her eyes instantly, bit Lu Jinan's neck, got off his back, and obediently changed her clothes.

He Xi considered herself a "virtuous" wife. Today, she drove Lu Jinan to work and went to work with him.

Yesterday's incident ended in a bad mood. Everyone looked at Xiao Yan and Tang Yan with unfriendly eyes, as if they were enemies. However, He Xi felt refreshed.

He Xi walked behind Tang Yan and patted the chair he was sitting on: "Come to Lu Jinan's office."

"And you." He Xi looked at Xiao Yan.

She could see that Tang Yan's expression was stunned, his heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and his face turned pale.

Tang Yan felt a little guilty and even stuttered when he spoke: "I...I understand, Director He...Director He."

Unlike his behavior, Xiao Yan's expression was relatively normal.

"Assistant Wei, good morning. Please give us four cups of green tea. Thank you." He Xi greeted Assistant Wei.

"Good morning, ma'am. I'll get it ready right away." Assistant Wei responded quickly with a smile.

The four of them sat on the sofa in Lu Jinan's office. He Xi took the initiative and said, "Tang Yan, choose between the child and Song Qin."

This question was too simple, just like the questions that nurses or doctors outside the delivery room would usually ask family members. She believed that Tang Yan would make a choice.

Tang Yan felt his neck was extremely stiff. He raised his head with difficulty to look at He Xi. He couldn't even see any threat from her. The expression on her face was very gentle.

Yes, it is the gentle expression. You can clearly feel that she is thinking about you. She is so worried about you that she has not had a good rest. When you look at her, all you feel is guilt.

Xiao Yan stared at He Xi with wide eyes, then looked at Lu Jinan for help: What's going on? Your wife, who is so weak that she can't take care of herself, is threatening others and will scare herself to tears later.

Lu Jinan nodded, pointed to the desk not far away, and said to Assistant Wei: "My wife told you to watch the show with pay, and the snacks are prepared for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, and thank you, Madam. Please tell me if I have anything." Assistant Wei rubbed his hands. He already knew that Madam had a lot of snacks that could not be bought outside.

They obviously knew something. Tang Yan's face was extremely ugly. He looked up at He Xi and said, "I don't know what Director He means?"

He Xi took a sip of tea: "Didn't she tell you recently that the baby's movements have decreased?"

Tang Yan was dumbfounded: "How...how did you know? You couldn't possibly know."

Lu Jinan said with a half-smile: "You have been under surveillance since Song Qin was released on bail."

"You guys?" Tang Yan stood up angrily, "So you all know?"

"Sit down and talk." Xiao Yan put his hands on Tang Yan's shoulders and forced him down. "If you do this, my sister-in-law will look up at you. She is very delicate. My brother will be even more angry."

Tang Yan was completely speechless. What was their relationship? The sister-in-law he was talking about was undoubtedly He Xi, because she was the only female comrade present.

He Xi put her hand on Lu Jinan's chest wantonly, and adjusted his brooch for him. She said fiercely, "If you make my husband unhappy, I will threaten you, so what do you want to choose?"

Lu Jinan raised his hand and held He Xi's hand on his chest, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Tang Yan's face turned pale, but he still didn't give up: "Humph, you can't threaten me, she is well protected."
