Lu Nancheng straightened up, took a few steps back, said nothing, and turned to leave.

he's gone.

Lin Xiyao slowly opened her eyes, but large tears still slid down her cheeks.

At this time, a melodious cell phone ringtone rang, and she called.

Lin Xiyao took out her phone; it was a call from her mother.

Lin Xiyao answered the call, and her mother's voice immediately reached her ears, "Hello, Xiyao."

"mom."

"Xi Yao, that illegitimate daughter came looking for you, didn't she? Now that you're pregnant, that mistress and her illegitimate daughter are going crazy. The Lin family won't let them in, and the Lin Group kicked them out too. Seeing them suffer, my resentment and hatred over the years have finally eased a bit!"

Lin Xiyao stared at the ceiling in the office without saying a word.

"Xi Yao, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Mom, I'm listening."

"Xiyao, you're pregnant now, so don't work so hard. You must give birth to your child safely and healthily."

"it is good."

"Xiyao, Mom knows you've worked very hard all these years, and I know you've suffered a lot. The proudest thing in my life is having you as my daughter. You are my pride!"

Lin Xiyao held her phone. "Mom, I'll be fine. Don't worry."

"it is good!"

The mother and daughter hung up the phone. Lin Xiyao put down her phone, sat up, and put it in her bag.

She looked at herself in the mirror; her face was pale, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She lived in a very unhappy family. She didn't know what fatherly love was. All she knew was that from the moment her mother tried to commit suicide, she had to be strong and fight against the mother and daughter outside.

In her twenty-odd years of life, she did not allow herself to make any mistakes. She studied hard and worked hard. She had never been in a relationship. When she reached the age for trial marriage, she followed her grandfather's arrangement and married Lu Nancheng.

Because the struggle had reached a fever pitch, she had to become pregnant.

She was like a machine that was being manipulated and controlled.

Just now, when Lu Nancheng pinned her to the table and told her that he could just say he didn't want her or the child, and that other women could even have ten or eight children for him, her tears suddenly started flowing uncontrollably.

Because she felt like a joke.

All her efforts were a joke.

Even her life is like a joke.

An unprecedented weariness swept over her, causing the string that had been taut for twenty years to suddenly snap.

Lin Xiyao cried for a long time, then dragged her heavy body back home.

Aunt Rong immediately came out to greet her, "Young Madam, you're back? Have you eaten?"

Lin Xiyao nodded, "Aunt Rong, I've already eaten."

"Young Madam, I've stewed some bird's nest for you. Eat it and go back to your room to rest."

"it is good."

Lin Xiyao arrived at the dining table, and Aunt Rong served bird's nest soup.

Lin Xiyao picked up a spoon and started eating. Actually, she didn't know what the bird's nest tasted like. She only knew that after crying, life had to go on. She couldn't give up. She still had many things to do.

She needs the child in her belly, and she truly loves the child in her belly.

She has never truly owned anything in her life; this child is hers, truly her child.

Aunt Rong asked, "Young Madam, where is the young master? Didn't he say he would pick you up from get off work?"

Lin Xiyao paused in her hand holding the spoon, then said, "Aunt Rong, he went to the company."

Lin Xiyao could only tell a white lie.

Aunt Rong complained, "Why are you going to the company so late? No matter how busy you are at work, nothing is more important than your wife and children!"

Lin Xiyao smiled and didn't say anything more.

After finishing her bird's nest meal, Lin Xiyao returned to her room, took a hot shower, and then went to bed.

Looking at the empty seat beside her, Lu Nancheng's handsome face couldn't help but appear in her mind. Where was he now? Would he go home tonight?

She completely understood Lu Nancheng's anger. Such a proud and arrogant young man was probably the first person to dare to take advantage of him.

Even if she had a hundred or a thousand reasons to take advantage of him, she couldn't bring herself to say them, because no one in this world has the obligation to unconditionally tolerate others.

She couldn't imagine what Lu Nancheng would do next.

She couldn't interfere with what he did.

Lin Xiyao placed her hand on her lower abdomen and whispered, "Baby, let's go to sleep."

In fact, Lin Xiyao was preoccupied with many things, but the hormonal changes during her pregnancy helped her fall asleep quickly.

When Lin Xiyao opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning. She sat up and looked at the seat next to her; no one was there.

If I'm not mistaken, Lu Nancheng didn't return home all night.

Lin Xiyao threw off the covers, got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs.

Aunt Rong was the happiest. "Young Madam, you're awake. Breakfast is ready. Come and eat."

Lin Xiyao walked over and took a sip of milk.

Aunt Rong: "Young Madam, where is the young master?"

Lin Xiyao told the truth, "Aunt Rong, Nancheng didn't come back last night."

"What? Young Master didn't come home all night? What did he do all night?" Aunt Rong was very surprised.

Lin Xiyao didn't say anything.

Perhaps sensing that Lin Xiyao's mood was a bit off, Aunt Rong immediately comforted her, "Young Madam, I've practically watched the young master grow up. I reckon he was at the company last night. The young master has a very clean private life and is a serious germaphobe. He would never go to those shady places. I can guarantee that!"

Lin Xiyao tugged at her red lips, "I know, Aunt Rong!"

"But I still have to criticize the young master. Even if he's busy at the company, he can't stay out all night!" Aunt Rong muttered.

Just then, a luxury car sped across the lawn outside the villa, and a tall, handsome figure quickly got out.

Lu Nancheng is back.

Aunt Rong saw Lu Nancheng through the French windows and said, "Young Madam, look, the young master is back!"

Lin Xiyao's heart skipped a beat; she clearly hadn't expected him to come back.

He didn't come home last night, but he actually came back this morning.

At that moment, the villa gate opened, and Lu Nancheng walked in.

Aunt Rong immediately went to greet him, "Young Master, you're back!"

Lu Nancheng, dressed in a clean white shirt and black trousers, holding a suit jacket in his hand, glanced up at Aunt Rong and gave a faint "hmm".

Aunt Rong: "Young Master, why didn't you come back last night?"

Lu Nancheng did not answer.

Aunt Rong said, "Young Master, the Young Madam was just mentioning you. She missed you all night because you didn't come home!"

Lin Xiyao, suddenly being called upon, was stunned. "..."

What the hell?

When did she tell Aunt Rong that she missed him?

Lin Xiyao looked up at Lu Nancheng.

Lu Nancheng turned his head, raised his handsome eyes, and looked at her.

Eyes facing each other.
