The earlier ease turned into tension again. Lin Xiyao remembered that she still had to get past Lu Nancheng, and she couldn't guess what Lu Nancheng would do.
He'll definitely be angry, furious!
However, the child in her belly was Old Master Lu's precious treasure. With Old Master Lu backing her up, she didn't need to be so nervous.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xiyao felt relieved again.
"Young Master left early today, Madam. Would you like to call him and tell him the good news?"
Lin Xiyao said, "Aunt Rong, don't tell Nancheng about my pregnancy yet. I'll find an opportunity to tell him myself!"
Aunt Rong: "Okay!"
"I went to work after breakfast."
“Young Madam, I know you are pregnant and still have to work, but you should reduce your workload appropriately. Right now, everything should be focused on the baby.”
Lin Xiyao placed her hand on her lower abdomen, "Don't worry, Aunt Rong, I'm the baby's mother, and I'm looking forward to his arrival more than anyone else!"
…………
Lu Nancheng has been busy at the company. Yesterday, he canceled all his schedules to accompany Lin Xiyao on a date, so he has a lot of work to do.
By the time they finished dealing with all that, it was already afternoon. Assistant Li placed the coffee beside him. "Mr. Lu, here's your coffee."
"Thank you."
Lu Nancheng took a sip and then picked up his phone. His phone was empty; Lin Xiyao hadn't sent him any WeChat messages.
Yesterday she bombarded me with WeChat messages and even made soup to visit me on set, but today she's disappeared again.
Lu Nancheng smiled helplessly. Sometimes he really didn't know what Lin Xiyao was thinking.
"Mr. Lu, why are you smiling? Is something making you happy?" Assistant Li asked curiously.
Lu Nancheng, "Do you think all women are like this?"
"how?"
"She can be enthusiastic one moment and cold the next, like a mystery."
Assistant Li didn't answer the question; instead, he smiled.
Lu Nancheng looked at him, "Assistant Li, what are you laughing at again?"
"Mr. Lu, has your wife not contacted you today?"
Lu Nancheng, "...How did you know?"
"Mr. Lu, I've noticed that whenever your wife ignores you, you look like you're looking at her with a big question mark on your face! Mr. Lu, have you noticed that you seem to be getting more and more interested in your wife, and your emotions always seem to follow her?"
Lu Nancheng paused, then said without changing his expression, "Is that so?"
"Of course! When your wife is warm towards you, you're in a good mood; when she's cold towards you, you're in a bad mood! I feel that even though you and your wife have been married for three years, you're still more like you're dating!"
fall in love?
Lu Nancheng was quite new to this term. In fact, a marriage between wealthy families is still a marriage, and he had no intention of divorcing Lin Xiyao when they got married.
He originally thought it would just be a polite and respectful relationship with his family, but he never expected that they would become entangled like this. He likes the current state of his relationship with Lin Xiyao.
It wouldn't be bad to just have a relationship with Lin Xiyao like this.
After all, they are a legally married couple who have registered their marriage.
Lu Nancheng put down his coffee, picked up his phone, and dialed Lin Xiyao's number.
The phone rang several times before it was hurriedly answered, and Lin Xiyao's pleasant voice came through, "Hello, Mr. Lu, what brings you to call me?"
Lu Nancheng could tell she seemed busy, because he heard the sound of her turning the pages of a manuscript. "What, can't I call you?"
"No! Is there something you need? I'm a bit busy right now, I have a meeting later."
Lu Nancheng: "...I might be home a little late tonight."
Lin Xiyao: "Okay, I might be home a little late too."
Lu Nancheng: "...Alright then, you go ahead and do your work."
Lin Xiyao, "88."
She hung up the phone.
Lu Nancheng frowned slightly as he held his phone. For some reason, he sensed a subtle change in Lin Xiyao's tone; perhaps she was too busy.
"Mr. Lu, let's go to the meeting first."
Lu Nancheng stood up. "Let's go!"
…………
Lu Nancheng returned at eight o'clock in the evening, and Aunt Rong immediately came to greet him, "Young Master, you're home!"
Looking at the smile on Aunt Rong's face, Lu Nancheng asked, "Aunt Rong, what's the occasion? Why are you so happy?"
Aunt Rong smiled and said, "Today is indeed a joyous day!"
Lu Nancheng, "What's the joy?"
Aunt Rong remembered Lin Xiyao's instructions, so she didn't say, "I won't tell you!"
Lu Nancheng laughed; Aunt Rong had become all mysterious.
He looked around but didn't see Lin Xiyao. "Hasn't the young mistress returned yet?"
Aunt Rong said, "I saw that it was getting late, so I called the young mistress. She said she was on her way back and would be home soon! Actually, with the Lu family being so wealthy, the young mistress could easily not work."
Lu Nancheng said, "If she likes her job, let her work. Women shouldn't be trapped in family and marriage. She has a career she loves."
Aunt Rong nodded, "I'll listen to the young mistress! Young master, you should go upstairs and take a shower first."
Lu Nancheng went upstairs to his room. He took a cold shower first, and when he turned off the shower, he heard a sound from the other room. Lin Xiyao had returned.
Lu Nancheng put on his pajamas and came out, and sure enough, he saw Lin Xiyao.
Lin Xiyao took off her coat, revealing a white wool dress underneath. Her long, smooth hair was loose, and she looked exceptionally fresh and natural without makeup.
Lu Nancheng, "You're back?"
Lin Xiyao reached out and took off the pearl earring from her earlobe, turning to look at him. "I'm back! Are you done washing up?"
Lu Nancheng, "I just finished showering, do you want to come in and shower too?"
Lin Xiyao: "Okay."
She reached for the zipper at the back, but couldn't pull it up. "Lu Nancheng, can you help me? Help me unzip it."
She stood in front of him, her back to him, and reached out to brush her long hair to one side, revealing her fair neck.
Lu Nancheng stepped forward and helped her zip up her jacket.
The two of them were so close that he could smell her fragrance, not the scent of perfume, but her natural body odor.
"The zipper is zipped up."
"Thank you."
Lin Xiyao wanted to go into the bathroom, but Lu Nancheng's arm suddenly wrapped around her soft waist from behind.
Lin Xiyao immediately felt his tall and handsome body press against her from behind, and his handsome face kissed her hair near her ear.
Lin Xiyao's eyelashes trembled. "Lu Nancheng, what's wrong?"
Lu Nancheng kissed her hair again. "Are you going to take a shower?"
Lin Xiyao: "Yes."
Lu Nancheng, "Want to shower together?"
Lin Xiyao turned to look at him, "Didn't you already shower?"
Lu Nancheng, "I want to wash again!"
He wanted to kiss her as he spoke.
However, Lin Xiyao turned her head away and avoided being kissed by him.
Lu Nancheng frowned. "Why are you dodging me?"
She never used to avoid it; in fact, she always took the initiative.
