The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"I also think this shop is suitable." Lin Wanqing showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Then let's take over this shop."

"Okay." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "I'll go talk to someone about the price."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt grateful: "Thank you, Prince."

"I already told you there's no need to thank me." Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a helpless look on his face. "If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."

Lu Shengyuan looked at the smile on her face and couldn't help but smile too.

As they talked, they walked into the store.

After some bargaining, Lu Shengyuan successfully lowered the store's price and signed a contract with the owner.

Lin Wanqing was very excited when he got the store contract.

She looked at the contract in her hand and said, "Prince, we succeeded."

"Yes, it worked." Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a doting look on his face. "Next, we need to prepare well, decorate the shop, and then select some specialty teas."

"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded. "Leave these things to me. I will take care of them."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a bit of trust in his eyes: "I believe you."

In the following days, Lin Wanqing became busy.

She first asked someone to renovate the store, and then personally selected some specialty teas.

With her busy work, the store soon looked brand new.

Looking at the renovated shop, Lin Wanqing was very satisfied.

She looked at the shop with a smile on her face: "Prince, what do you think?"

Lu Shengyuan looked around the shop and nodded, "Very good, you have good taste."

Lin Wanqing was very happy to receive Lu Shengyuan's praise.

She looked at Lu Shengyuan and said, "Prince, our shop has been decorated and the tea has been selected. The next step is to choose an auspicious day to open it."

"Well, it's up to you to decide these things." Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a bit of pampering on his face.

Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart when she heard this and nodded: "Okay, I will prepare well."

The setting sun gently shone on the bluestone slabs of the Prince's Mansion. Su Qiaoer gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and slowly walked into the mansion.

Her face was filled with the happiness and anticipation of becoming a mother.

As she walked through the winding corridors, she could faintly hear the sound of laughter, which made her involuntarily quicken her pace.

After turning through a moon gate, she was slightly stunned by the scene before her - Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing were standing side by side.

The two figures looked particularly harmonious in the afterglow of the setting sun.

There was a cunning glint in Lin Wanqing's eyes, and she gently took Lu Shengyuan's arm.

"Prince, Madam, when did you come back? I didn't even notice."

There was a hint of surprise and joy in Su Qiaoer's voice. She slowly approached, her eyes moving between the two of them.

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly and said softly, "I just returned home not long ago."

Lin Wanqing winked playfully and deliberately softened her voice, "Yes, Qiao'er, we went out to buy some things for the store opening. Look, the prince even helped me choose them personally."

As she spoke, she snuggled up to Lu Shengyuan, and everyone present could feel the intimacy and trust.

Seeing this, Su Qiaoer gently stroked her abdomen.

"I see. Madam and my father have a really good relationship."

There was a hint of envy and emotion in her voice.

"Unlike me, after I got pregnant, I was always too lazy to move around. I even had fewer opportunities to go out for a walk with the prince."

Lin Wanqing gently held Su Qiaoer's hand: "Qiaoer, you are pregnant, so you must be careful. After the baby is born, you can go out and play together."

Lu Shengyuan also nodded in agreement: "Wanqing is right, Qiao'er, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself and give birth to the baby safely."

However, in this harmonious atmosphere, a subtle and complex emotion flashed in Su Qiaoer's eyes.

She looked at the figures of Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan standing side by side, and her heart couldn't help but ripple.

"Perhaps, there are some things that I cannot force after all."

She sighed softly in her heart, then stroked her abdomen again, "But fortunately, I still have you."

The sun gradually sets in the west and night falls quietly.

Su Qiaoer chatted with Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan for a few more words, then left on the grounds of feeling tired.

"Prince, Qiao'er seems a little unhappy."

Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly: "It's normal for pregnant women to have mood swings. You don't need to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, but said nothing more.

Lu Shengyuan gently stroked his clothes, his eyes gentle but with a hint of imperceptible fatigue.

"Wanqing, I'm going to the study to take care of some things first, and I'll be with you later."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing smiled gently, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Prince, you have been overworked recently. You should take a rest first. I have someone prepare some medicine. You can drink it now and then."

Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly, as if he had some resistance to the medicine, and was about to refuse.

The sharp-eyed maid Cui'er quickly stepped forward, holding an exquisite porcelain bowl in her hand.

She spoke softly, "Prince, this medicine was prepared under Madam's personal supervision. She hand-picked every single ingredient, fearing there would be even the slightest flaw. Look, the medicine is still steaming. Madam's kindness is such that you must not let her down."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and looked at Lu Shengyuan with gentle eyes.

There was both persistence and tenderness in his eyes: "Yes, Prince, your health is important."

Lu Shengyuan looked at the expectation and concern in Lin Wanqing's eyes, his heart warmed, and he finally sighed.

He took the medicine bowl from Cui'er and said softly, "Okay, since it's Wanqing's intention, how can I refuse it?"

After saying that, he took a sip, frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, as if even the bitterness had turned into sweetness.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with a smile, and he whispered softly: "Prince, I know this medicine tastes bitter, but for the sake of your health, I hope you can be patient."

As Lu Shengyuan slowly drank the medicine, a warm current seemed to flow quietly into his heart.

He put down the medicine bowl and glanced gently at Lin Wanqing and the maid Pei'er standing beside them.

"Wan Qing, I will always remember your thoughtfulness, but it's late at night, you should rest early, Pei'er, take good care of the lady."

After saying that, Lu Shengyuan stood up, his sleeves fluttering, and walked into the depths of the study with an air of majesty and elegance that could not be ignored.

The door closed lightly, isolating the noise from the outside world and leaving only silence in the room.

"Pei'er, look at the prince, he is always so considerate and very good to me."

When Pei'er heard this, her eyes sparkled with envy, and she responded softly, "Yes, Madam, the prince treats you very well. Who in this mansion doesn't envy you?"
