Qiao Shanshan immediately became happy when she got Lu Lin's promise.

She was so moved that her eyes turned red, and she hugged Lu Lin's arm, "Lu Lin, I know that you care about our child."

Lu Lin was very resistant to her physical contact and immediately frowned and pulled his arm away.

It stands to reason that they had had more intimate encounters than this.

Why didn't he feel the slightest bit of repulsion towards Qiao Shanshan's body that night? Instead, he felt completely intoxicated by her.

Now Qiao Shanshan just touched his arm and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Was it because my thoughts were affected by the drugs at that time?

"I promise to accompany you when I am free, but you can't be unreasonable and use your physical discomfort to force me to see you, understand?"

This was not the first time that Qiao Shanshan was rejected by Lu Lin's physical touch.

She had long been accustomed to Lu Lin's indifference and alienation, and quickly suppressed the hurt in her eyes.

She looked cautious, as if she was afraid of being blamed.

Explained: "Lu Lin, I really have a headache today. I didn't use my discomfort to force you to come see me."

"Maybe it's because I just moved to an unfamiliar environment and I'm surrounded by unfamiliar people, so I'm a little uncomfortable."

Lu Lin frowned slightly: "Is it because Sister Liu didn't take good care of me?"

Sister Liu's heart immediately began to lift. She became extremely uneasy and her legs were shaking with nervousness.

She wanted to say something, but didn't dare interrupt.

Qiao Shanshan shook her head: "Sister Liu is thoughtful and careful, there is nothing wrong with her."

Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Miss Qiao still had some conscience.

It was not in vain that she spent the whole night and morning serving her like a foot-washing maid.

Lu Lin: "Who are you not used to?"

Qiao Shanshan's aggrieved gaze drifted towards the two bodyguards who were talking to Cheng Lei outside the door, then she lowered her eyelashes and said nothing.

Lu Lin frowned: "Did the bodyguard make you unhappy?"

Sister Liu boldly spoke up: "Since Miss Qiao is embarrassed to speak, let me speak."

Lu Lin: "Tell me, what happened?"

There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But the majesty he exuded still made Sister Liu extremely nervous.

She said cautiously: "Those two bodyguards are a little too cold and hard."

"Miss Qiao spoke to them in a nice voice this morning, but they ignored her."

"I don't know if he is unwilling to protect Miss Qiao and is deliberately giving her a cold shoulder..."

Lu Lin turned around to look at the two bodyguards outside the door, and Cheng Lei happened to be looking at him.

Cheng Lei immediately ran over and asked, "Boss Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Lin said expressionlessly: "Arrange two more bodyguards, and ask them to be more easy-going."

Cheng Lei blinked and asked in confusion: "Are Xiao Wang and Xiao Huang not easy-going?"

Lu Lin frowned: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just change it if I tell you to."

Cheng Lei quickly responded, then turned and left.

Qiao Shanshan smiled with emotion: "Lu Lin, thank you, you are so kind to me."

Although Lu Lin did not fire the two bodyguards directly as she expected.

But Lu Lin was willing to replace her bodyguard, which showed that he was considering her.

After the engagement party, Lu Lin's change in attitude made her painful, but also made her slowly wake up.

Marrying into a wealthy family is not an easy thing. She cannot be anxious. She cannot rely on her status as a savior and act capriciously in front of Lu Lin and seek repayment for her kindness as she did before.

Lu Lin is not an ordinary man. To take him down, it is not enough to just be called a savior.

She needs to keep calm and take things step by step.

Lu Lin: "Are you feeling better now?"

Qiao Shanshan gently held her forehead and said tenderly, "It's much better now, but it still hurts a little."

The way she said this was really pretentious, which made Lu Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

However, considering that she was pregnant, he did not argue with her over such a small matter. He just frowned slightly and endured the discomfort in his heart.

"Sister Liu, go call Doctor Lin over."

Qiao Shanshan quickly stopped him and said, "Forget it. Doctor Lin has already examined me. He said that my headache is caused by emotional instability. As long as I feel better, the headache will naturally go away. There is no need to trouble him to come again."

"Sister Liu, please go down first. I'll call you when I need you."

Sister Liu quickly said yes and left quickly.

Mr. Lu's aura was so terrifying that she was extremely nervous staying in this room, always worrying that she would make a mistake. She just wanted to leave here.

"Ah Lin, my headache is nothing serious. I just hope I can stay with you for a while."

After Qiao Shanshan said this, her expression instantly became nervous. She asked cautiously, "Can I call you A-Lin?"

Her eyes were full of expectation, like a child begging for candy.

Lu Lin was stunned and nodded gently: "Yeah."

It's just a name, nothing to worry about.

It is very childish and boring to deliberately ask Qiao Shanshan not to use intimate names for him in order to emphasize that there is not much connection between them.

Because no matter how distant he appeared to Qiao Shanshan, it could not change the fact that he had already let Wanwan down.

From the moment he decided to keep the child, he hurt Wanwan.

But he couldn't just leave the child alone.

He once vowed that he would never be an irresponsible man like his father.

Letting down Qiao Shanshan was already a violation of his promise to herself, and now he couldn't even ignore the child.

If he really neglects this child, this child will be a second him after he is born.

No one knows better than him how much pain his growth process was filled with.

It was a long wait and countless disappointments.

He watched his mother cry, was criticized, and called out the man's name in his dreams at midnight.

He doesn't want his children to go through this.

When Qiao Shanshan got the consent, an innocent and satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face.

With the intimate name, the distance between them became closer.

Lu Lin: "Since you said your headache is not a big deal, let's talk about it now."

He looked serious, as if he wanted to talk about something very important.

Qiao Shanshan's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling, but she remained calm on the surface.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Lin: "It was too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to explain many things to you clearly."

"Qiao Shanshan, I hope you can understand that I keep this child out of responsibility. Our relationship will not change because of this child."

His businesslike attitude extinguished the hope that Qiao Shanshan had just ignited.

Her eyes were filled with tears. "So what is our relationship now?"

Lu Lin was indifferent to her tears.

"We are in a relationship where we are about to raise a child together."

"You saved my life, so if you want, we can be friends."

"In short, no matter what the relationship is, it can't be a husband-and-wife relationship."

"My wife is Yan Wanning, and this will never change."
