The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Pei Youyou cheered herself up and ate several extra bowls of rice at dinner.

My stomach feels really bloated at night.

She didn't like taking digestive pills, so she set her sights on hawthorn slices. Their sweet and sour taste made her mouth water just thinking about them.

Find the maid and ask her for some hawthorn slices.

The maid paused for a moment, then said, "Second Young Mistress, pregnant women shouldn't eat hawthorn."

Pei Youyou rolled her eyes inwardly.

She wasn't pregnant.

But she really craved that sweet and sour taste.

"It's not me who wants to eat it, it's Zheng Yu who wants to eat it." Pei Youyou was a habitual liar, after all, she could get what she wanted with just a little lie.

The maid ladled out a plate of hawthorn slices and, as she handed it over, reminded her again, "Second Young Mistress, pregnant women really shouldn't eat hawthorn."

"I know, I know, you've already said it once, it's so annoying." Pei Youyou's face fell, and she took the door and closed it.

The servant was helpless.

She was also afraid that the second young mistress might accidentally eat it, and if something happened, she would be blamed for not reminding her.

If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal, involving a child, and the second young master's child at that.

The servant outside the door sighed.

Inside the door, Pei Youyou raised her eyebrows happily and immediately popped a piece into her mouth, followed by a second piece, and a third piece...

……

early morning.

A ray of light crept onto the soft bed. Luo Huai squinted, buried her face in Xing Yanzhao's chest, and muttered, "Brother Zhao, you must wake me up at 6:50, wake me up..."

Her soft, sweet voice still carried a hint of weariness.

I made a little progress last night.

But the process was incredibly grueling.

I changed my pants twice during the process, and each pair looked like I had just been pulled out of the water. I was almost the same way, with strands of hair stuck to my face.

I forgot what time I went to sleep.

Xing Yanzhao had one arm around his wife and the other hand reached for his phone to check the time; it was already 6:30.

He can't possibly sleep in twenty minutes, but he can smoke two cigarettes.

Luo Huai faintly smelled the smoke and said sleepily, "You smoke."

"Not even a cigarette afterward?" Xing Yanzhao's voice was low. "Restrain yourself from smoking."

Luo Huai slightly opened his eyes: "You've already..."

"Twice isn't enough," Xing Yanzhao said calmly. "I need to smoke two more. If I don't sleep, then it's not really smoking a cigarette."

Startled, Luo Huai hurriedly closed his eyes.

It took me several minutes to calm down before I gradually drifted off to sleep.

Xing Yanzhao didn't wake her up on time because he hadn't agreed in the first place. Not only did he not wake Luo Huai up early, but he also had to hold her and sleep together.

Mother Xing guessed that the two of them were unruly and loved to sleep in, so she specially called a servant to open the door.

The door opened and I was met with an impatient remark.

"It's a rare weekend when we don't have to get up early for work. Let's ask Mrs. Xing to tone down the rules. We don't want to come here once a month."

The door closed again.

The maid was sweating profusely, but she forced herself to relay the story.

Mrs. Xing was so angry that her face turned pale; she had lost all her authority in the family.

In a moment of righteous indignation, Lin Zhengyu led Pei Youyou to the restaurant, where her daughter also appeared on time, bringing her some comfort.

Seeing that Xing's father had also arrived, he couldn't help but mutter, "Yanzhao and Luo Huai aren't coming downstairs for breakfast again."

I thought Mr. Xing would also scold me.

The opposite is true.

Mr. Xing said, "I don't spend much time at home anyway, so let's keep quiet."

"So it's my fault again?" Xing's mother retorted.

"Dad, Mom." Xing Yuru sighed helplessly. Were her parents experiencing a midlife crisis? After that incident before the New Year, the two were no longer as affectionate as before, and instead, they would quarrel from time to time.

The less the father wanted to argue with the mother, the angrier she became.

Perhaps, this is what this home truly looks like.

As soon as Xing Yuru spoke, her parents immediately fell silent. Both of them felt guilty towards their daughter for the same reason: the slap she had given them years ago.

One was hitting his daughter.

One of them was a slap that his daughter took for him.

The rest of the breakfast was spent in quiet, but Xing Yuru noticed that Pei Youyou was acting strangely, as if she was feeling uncomfortable from time to time.

Since the pain wasn't very noticeable, she didn't take it seriously and went to rest.

When she opened her eyes, she went downstairs to look for someone.

What she saw was her husband and Luo Huai standing together on the osmanthus-lined path by the pond, not knowing what to say.

Zheng Yu even smiled at her!

Luo Huai actually laughed too!

Even a polite smile seemed like a seductive vixen to Pei Youyou, and she stormed over in anger.

Lin Zhengyu asked again, "Sister-in-law works at Chaoye Technology. Haven't you ever met the boss of Chaoye Technology?"

"No."

“Sister-in-law, cooperation with Chaoye is very important to the Xing family. If you could find out the identity of the owner of Chaoye Technology, it would definitely help my brother and improve his status in the Xing family.”

“I remember he wasn’t in charge of this project.”

Lin Zhengyu choked.

She continued smiling, "Yes, it is my responsibility, but the entire Xing family business will belong to my eldest brother in the future. Doesn't my sister-in-law want to help him and the Xing family business reach new heights?"

Luo Huai smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when the Xing family is all his. Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with alcohol.

Lin Zhengyu's patience was also limited. As Luo Huai passed by, he grabbed her wrist, frowned, and said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, why do you hate me so much?"

Pei Youyou, who rushed over, saw the two holding hands tightly and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "What are you doing!"

Luo Huai had been trying to shake off Lin Zhengyu's hand from the beginning, but he was too strong and she couldn't shake him off. It wasn't until Pei Youyou spoke up that the force on her wrist loosened.

This time they finally broke free.

She really didn't understand why one or two of them liked to grab her wrist.

Pei Youyou was an exception. Instead of grabbing his wrist, she reached out and pushed Luo Huai, making him stumble, and scolded, "Luo Huai, what do you mean! You seduced my brother in the Pei family, and you seduced my husband in the Xing family. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Luo Huaicai felt completely bewildered.

"And what do you mean by that?" she retorted. "In the Pei family, it was your brother who did something that caused misunderstandings, and you blamed me for seducing him. Here, it was your husband who grabbed my hand and said some inexplicable things, and you blamed me for seducing him again? Pei Youyou, can't you live without blaming everything on others?"

"You're the one who seduced me!" Pei Youyou raised her voice.

Are we having a competition to see who can shout the loudest?

Luo Huai may not be as loud as the others, but she has now learned what it means to "live for the moment."

"You're just spouting slander."

"I'm telling the truth, I saw it all!" Pei Youyou said immediately when she saw Lin Zhengyu open his mouth. "Brother Zhengyu, don't speak up for this bitch!"

"long……"

"Pei Youyou." Luo Huai's face turned cold, his dark eyes staring at her. "You keep calling people 'bitch,' is this the kind of young lady the Pei family raised? They taught you to use a toilet to rinse vegetables and eat them, your mouth is full of stench."

Pei Youyou stared wide-eyed, both angry and shocked.

Is this still Luo Huai?

She actually swore!

"Luo Huai, I'll tear your mouth apart today!" Pei Youyou pretended to rush forward, but just as she touched Luo Huai's shoulder, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, as if something was flowing out from her lower body.

Menstruation?

Miscarriage?

Either of these scenarios would be enough to terrify and panic Pei Youyou. As she watched Luo Huai reach out to push her away, a plan suddenly flashed through her mind.

Yes, it's all pinned on Luo Huai.

She's always done this since she was a child, and she's always succeeded.

thump!

Pei Youyou fell into the water.
